The following facts are stated IN the
Brandon Republican, and are OF record
The Penitentiary job contemplates the
appropriation of s27O, 600 in money and
s12O, 900 in improvements-as a bonus
to the contracting parties to empty Tor
individual benefit million Of dollars 'corpt
of labor belonging TO the State
Messrs. p. b. Starke and John Willis
offered to take the INSTITUTION lot hlteen
years. pay $1,000 year for the rent, MT pay pay
two years of it in advance, give S<UV'Voo
bond and a mortgage on real estate Tor
S4OO,OO0-the State to put up the bulLulng y dg5 gS
as in the Richardson bill, and put IN 2OOV
spindles. This proposition was voted down
by the Radicals.
RYAN proposed TO give $500 rent per
annum. with the same conditions as the
Starke & Willis bill, and give mortgage on
100000 in real estate as security.
Old Brindle Eggleston also had Dill ln'
but he withdrew in favor of Richardson
for the sum of 81, 900 In cash. Maj. Donald,
of Clarke, says he knows this to be true.
The Governor HOlc has dpiddrHs or OrtCefy
in his possession. and has until the third day
of the next session to approve or disapproye-
But the Legislature, it be an honest
one, will take measures to prevent the
execution of the law before it is put in
force and this is a matter for the people
to consider III the pending elections.
The weekly clarion., 1871-06-01

The revelations of the way in which
Radical legislation is conducted in South
Carolina, as related by the correspondent
of the New York Herald, viii not escape
attention, nor will they create surprise.
1t will be seen that the President of one
of the Railroad projects in that State
admits that he bribed eleven Senators
to vote for the measure in which he was
interested and that other rascalities
have been unearthed by the Convention
of taxpayers recently in session in that
State. Gen. Chamberlain, who is a
Northern man, and the Attorney General
Of the Commonwealth, and elected as a
Republican, was member of the Con-
vention, and was prominent in exposing
the plunderers, just as the Attorney
General of this State has been instrument
tai in holding up to the public gaze the
mercantile operations" of the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction.
The disreputable conduct of the Mon
grel rulers in South Carolina is a speci-
men of the Radical system of legislation
in all the Southern States. 1t has been
so in Mississippi. The bill robbing the
State of upwards of million of Railway
stocks, worth several hundred thousand
dollars in cash, and the Railroad subsidy
by which the people are to be taxed ex-
ceeding thirteen hundred thousand dollars
annually for the next three years-are
among the many examples that might
be cited. Indeed it was well understood
that votes for any measure great or small,
were in the market to be bought and
sold precisely as any other commodity.
But for the clause in the Constitution
prohibiting the Legislature from pledg-
ing the credit of the State, many millions
of debt would ere this have been fastened
upon the people. In spite of this clause,
the advocates Of the Railroad subsidy
are asserting that if the money is not in
the treasury, the claimants under the act
win be paid or in the species Of paper
known as Auditors Warrants.

We have observed in a speech going
the rounds of the Mongrel press, credit
ed to Geo. c. Mckee, who was not elec-
ted to represent this district in the pres
ent Congress even by a majority of the
votes which were permitted to be cast in
the military election of 1S69-the fol-
lowing extract:
The clause in our Constitution prohibit
ing the State from leaning its credit, &C.,
was inserted by Republican convention,
and when that clause was submitted to a
separate vote of the people the central lead
ing organ of the Democracy tried to have
it voted down, and printed the Democratic
ticket that way, but the Republicans retain
ed it.
There is not a word of truth in this state
ment, On the contrary it is precisely the
reverse of truth. The entire Democratic
press of the State, so far as our knowl-
edge extended-and it was derived by a
close observation of their cOurse-advo-
Gated the retention of the clause prohib-
iting the pledging of the credit of the
State. This remark is sweeping enough
to embrace whatever paper may have
been especially referred to by Mckee
As for THE CLARIcN it was strongly in
favor of the clause, and the tickets
printed at this Office were all for retain
ing it, We believed the clause to be the
most meritorious feature of the instru-
ment, and so did the party with which
We are associated. Its insertion by the
Mongrel adventures was a miracle,
wholly inconsistent with all their acts
which have been to grind the last farthing
out of the people by taxation; and in
other States they have strained to the
utmost extent the credit of the recon-
structed governments. In this State
they have violated the spirit of the clause
by the passage of the Five Million Rail-
way subsidy, which contemplates the ex-
ecution of the law by the issue of Audi
tors Warrants, for whatever balance may
remain to be paid after the last farthing
has been extorted from the people which
their property and labor are capable of
yielding. The taxpayers will come to the
rescue of the clause by the repeal of the
law as soon as their will can be enforced.

Didm'G Say It.

The Kosciusko Chronicle denies that
Cock Sparrow Boyd said in his little talk
on the social equality bill that he would
as lief sit by a colored man as white
man. c. S. Boyd would not deny 1t
himself, when he was within the reach of
Lynch's (colored) party-whip. And he
will not, and dare not, now deny that he
made speech in favor of forcing equali-
ty of negroes upon white people in the
cars and upon steamboats,, berths and
tables not excepted, and that he not only
made this speech, but he voted for the
bill.
But all this we have nothing to do with,
c. S. Boyd has the right to indulge such
tastes if he likes, but he had no moral
right to force upon others what they do
not wish. And this he did do by his
vote, which we presume the Chronicle
will not deny.

That ApPOrtIOnmenG bill.

OF all the unjust measures that have
marked the session Of the Legislature just
closed, the AppOrtionment Bill Is the most
infamOus,-KOsciusko Leader.
Does the Leader know that one of the
recognized leaders Of the Democracy of the
House, together with several of the lesser
lights supported this bill - kosciusko
Chronicle.
No, the Leader does not know any
such thing, nor does any one else. On
the contrary the Democrats of the House
began to delay legislation as soon as this
bill passed the Senate by every means
known to parliamentary usage for no
other purpose than to defeat it. The
bill was finally passed as a party
measure by mere brute force Of num-
bers.

his vote when j. II. Lynch, negro (mis-)

southern manufacturers.

The Langley Manufacturing Company,
whose mills are located eight miles from
Augusta, Georgia, on the South Carolina
railroad, began operations on the 29th of
March last, and are now in successful
operation, making standard shirtings and
sheetings, 2S5 yards to the pound. Their
machinery is of the best quality; they
have four thousand spindles and one
hundred looms at work, now, and these
will be increased to nine thousand six
hundred spindles and three hundred
looms. The working capital is $4OO, 900.
The Bath paper mills, located near the
same spot, are another example of sue
cessful southern manufactures. With
ample water-power and the favorable
opinion of the southern press, they are
making large quantities of book, news
and wrapping paper.

IL probably have as good means of infor-
nation as most persons In regard To what
is called the Ku kluX, and am perfectly sat
isfied that the thing is overrated; and IL the
Ku Klux bills were kept out of Congress
and the army kept at their legitimate du-
ties, there are enough good and true men
in all Southern States to put down all ku
Klux or other bands of marauders. Gen
Sherman.
Quick upon the heels of this declara-
ton of Gen. Sherman comes its verifica-
ton in the prompt action of the people
of Pontotoc in the recent affair in that
town. Keep your army away-let your
"picked cavalry" stay at home let the
thieves keep their hands out of the pock-
cts of the people, and they will preserve

The Prairie. News mentions a report
which it credits, that it took just FOUR
" THOUSAND DOLLARS to buy up enough
members of the Legislature to pass
the Colfax county bill. The News
is Republican newspaper, though we
are hopeful that in the coming election it
will unite with the good people of all
parties to rescue the State government
from the 'rascally adventures" describ-
ed by the n. Y. Tribune.
We have mentioned the -four thous-
and dollars" bribe not for the purpose
of taking part in the Colfax county con-
troversy, which is a purely local affair,
but to illustrate the carpet-bag system of
legislation. Under this system it was
notorious that every Mongrel vote had its
price; and there were professional brokers
who swarmed about the lobbies and were
regularly engaged in the infamous traffic.
The question with the Mongrel law-mak-
ers, on the presentation of any measure
was (not whether it possessed merit but }
how much would you give for a vote? A
shrewd Radical employed in this vile
business, who professed to have sounded
the depths of every members honesty,
is said to have expressed the opinion near
the close of the last session that of all
the Mongrel members there was but one
who could not be bought, and that of the
Conservative members there was but one
who could be. The support which was
invariably procured form. sufficient
number of Mongrels to pass every meas
ure of corruption that was proposed,
verifies the remark as to that party; and
it is possible that a close inspection of the
ayes and nays upon the same schemes
might lead to the discovery of the only
black sheep which the shrewdest de
tective of rottenness was enabled to find
in the Conservative flock.

Thus far the present season has been
the most unfavorable we have ever known
for cotton. In consequence of the late
Spring and excessive rains, it is at least
three weeks behind the average growth.
Many planters have been compelled to
replant their crops; and have barely Sc
cured stands. An average yield cannot
be expected, even if the balance of the
season be favorable. The late growth
will inevitably cause a heavy loss by
frost. 1t is not possible for consider
able part of the the crops just planted,
to mature in time to escape destruction
in that way In regaBd to the acreage
devoted to cotton, our enquiries have in
duced the belief that the diminution as
compared with last year, is about one
fourth.
The increase of the corn crop is about
in proportion to the decrease of cotton /;
and we are gratifed to report that the
prospect of the former is quite encour-
aging as far as our information extends.
Planters have learned useful lesson from
the low price of cotton and the failure of
the corn supply the last season.

Down fall Of the Spurious Curren-
cy known AS % Certificates of
Indebdednes ess.

The Railroad Companies have refused
longer to receive the bogus currency
known as Certificates of Indebtedness, !"
in payment for their dues. This step
was taken as soon as the conclave of
Forty Thieves courtesy called the
Legislature adjourned. 1t was shrewdly
postponed by the railway companies
until that event, for fear they would be-
come the victims of black-mailing oper-
alton by the "rascally adventures" who
constituted a majority of that body.
The Companies are censurable for
pledging themselves in the first instance
to the support of that rotten pretence of
currency, which was fabricated in mo-
tives of corrupt speculation, in violation
of the supreme law of the land. 1t was
a pusillanimous concession to the Van
dals whose power as the de factO govern
meLt of the State, they stood in mortal
dread of. On the highwayman principle,
the Vandals said to these companies,
endorse this spurious currency by re-
ceiving it for your dues, or take the
consequences. With christian hu-
mility, they came down on their knees,
and the adventures obtained what they
had demanded.
No sooner did the conclave disperse,
with certainty that its like will never
be seen again in Mississippi, than the
companies made haste to save themselves
from further loss by the measure into
which they had been driven. Knowing
the intrinsic worthlessness of the cur
rency to which they pretended to give
their confidence under duress, they have
retraced their steps. In doing this, the
companies are not chargeable with bad
faith. A pledge to do wrong act un-
der compulsion is not binding.
The decision of the companies to re-
fuse to accept these Certificates, corrobo-
rates the opinion we have all along ad-
vanced in reference to their spurious
character. They have been propped up
by dishonest expedient, which will no
longer avail, and will. fall like any other
mass of rottenness to the ground.

As we have not access to the archives
of the Auditors office, we cannot answer
the question of our correspondent. We
can only say, however, that there is no
legal authority for any such action on
the part of that officer. Since his attempt
to override the law authorizing the Boards
of Supervisors to correct erroneous as
sessments, in the interest of the tax-eat-
ing Ring, and his disregard of the opin-
ion of the Attorney General, his legal
adviser under the constitution, we will be
surprised at nothing he may do.

In one column of its issue of Thurs
day, the Pilot attempts to discredit our
statement that the late lawless proceed
ings in Pontotoc were repelled by conser-
vative citizens, and yet in another column
of the same impression, it copies a report
based on the authority of the u. S. troops
who were sent there ON ''the Governors
requisition" that ''the citizens without
regard to party are unit" in opposition
to disturbances of the peace by disguised
parties, or others, and that public meet
ing is to be held to give expression to this
feeling. So well assured was this officer
of the determination of the people them
selves to maintain the peace and enforce
the laws, that he promptly withdrew his
troops from the county.
