THE WAY IT HAPPENED.-A cores
pondent in Tippah explains why the
majority over the Radical candidate was
not larger, in the late election. He
writes:
A great many of my neighbors failed to
turn out at the election. Some who went
did not bring their certificates. The judges
ruled that they were not entitled to vote.
We are not disposed to indulge any
more complaints about the apathy of our
people in the late election. 1t does not
follow from their indifference to national
politics, that they will not concern them
selves about their home government.

EDITORS CLARION You published in

law on the crop of Il. b gathers his cotton

There ought to be no difficulty in the
construction of the lien law. 1t was de-
signed to secure to persons who furnish
supplies an absolute remedy against fraud
and is to be construed according to this
intention of its trainers. The lien gives
preference over all other claims whether
er in the form of judgments or not. If
the crop is transferred to another party
before this prior lien is satisfied, it is
bound for the supplies with which it was
made and is liable to seizure. ga lien
lis a qualified right which in a given case
''may be exercised over the property of
"another. 1t attaches to subjects
"of property, and tollo'es them IN their
Transmission to others. Georges Miss.
Digest, p. 473.
The 18th section of the law further
declares that "the lien hereby created
"shall have precedence and priority over
trent and every other species of lien. :"
The remedies for enforcing the rights
secured by the lien are described in sec
ton End.
We would suggest, however, that per-
sons who furnish supplies to migratory
laborers ought to secure aguarantee from
their employers; and that dealers in
cotton or other produce, should establish
a rule not to purchase from such parties
until assured that all claims on the crop
have been settled; but if they do make
such purchase, it will be at their own
risk

1t was Mr.. Barnum's intention to have

Great Show to that city, fact in itself suf-

dollars. Nothing like il was ever known.

to the entire eXhibition-Circus, Museum
and Menagerie. The press, wherever Mr..
Barnum has given his entertainments are
enthusiastic in praise of the Show, pro-
nouncing it the most extensive, novel and
best exhibition ever known. We clip the
following from the Memphis Avalanche.

The last despatch shows that the Ad-
ministration is anxious to have the mat
ter hushed up. 1t has acted from parti-
san prejudice and ex-parte testimony, and
does not want to have the subject agitat-
ed. Nevertheless, the citizens have de-
termined to go to Washington to lay the
outrages before the President (if he will
let Them and Congress; and also before
the country. Let them shake up all
Radicaldom with recital of this outrage
on the rights of their people and violation
of its plighted faith by the party in
power. Good may come of their labors
after awhile, if not now.
