Hon. H. S. Norris,
Attorneu General:

DEAR SIR:-I am directed by the Board of
school Directors OF this county, To ask your
opinion in regard to the disposal Of the
money collected on account of our sixteenth
section lands. The Board is anxious To keep
the money in the county and let it out on
good security, as it will command higher
rate of interest in that way, than to convert
it into bonds as the law says may be done
with it. Some OF the money Will be on
notes given for 10th section money loaned,
and some will be on account of leases
aboutUo be made. If we are obliged to in
vest in Mississippi Bonds, would we be
warranted in buying State Warrants issued
prior TO March LIST. and converting them
into Bonds urder the new Funding Bill?
Yours, very respectfully,
w. Ii. AVERY,
County Superintendent and President of
Board.

importance of considering this matter in
| the selection of candidates for Congress
and for the Electoral College by the
Democrats and Conservatives, and
showed that no person is eligible to the
former who cannot take the iron-clad
oath or whose disabilities have not been
removed, no matter whether he ever took
the oath to support the Constitution of
the United States before the war or not,
| provided he gave aid and comfort to the
Confederacy; and that the 18th Amend
nlent proscribes all persons from the Elec-
toral College who had taken such oath as
a State or Federal officer before the war
and afterwards enlisted in the service of,
or gave encouragement to, the Confede-
crate Government, if their disabilities
have not been removed.
Commenting on this statement, the
Copiahan raises this point:
But was a boy under twenty one wears
old citizen of the United states? IL he
served in and was discharged from the Con-
federate army before he was twenty one, is
he ineligible? A citizen is said to be one
capable of voting and holding office under
the Constitution and laws. boy not OF
full age is certainly not capable of doing
either, and is he not outside the disabling
act? This may be Il question OF some i'm
'rtance. What thinks The CLARION!
In answer, the Vicksburg Herald says
Unless that boy gets his disabilities re-
moved, he is not eligible, for the simple
hat ho n n off
and swear that he has mot voluntrily borne
arnlsr against the best Government in the
wOrldi The ease is as plain as pike stall!
With Difference we will submit that
possibly the Herald answers the point as
to ''the boy" rather strongly. He is re-
quired by the test-oath to swear that che
''has never voluntarily borne arms against
'the United States since he has been q
"citizen thereof, &c, and in a strictly ie-
gal sense the term ~eitizen" may describe
a person who has the privilege of exer-
cising the elective franchise and there
fore person might with truth swear, if
he did not render service in the Confede
rate army after he became twenty-one
years old, that he has not borne arms
''since he has been a CITIZEN" &c. We
do not know that the question has ever
been judicially determined; but this We
do know, that we are dealing with unscru-
pulous and unprincipled foes who are
ready to avail themselves of the slightest
pretext for annulling Southern elections
not in the interest of the Grant Admin
istration and its thieving gang, and it Is
the part of wisdom to avoid hair-sptit-
ting and to run no risks In the selection
of candidates. We have had lessons
enough on that subject. In the matter
of State offices no person is required to
take the iron-clad oath nor is any per-
son disqualified on account of his rela-
tions to the Confederaey, provided he
naver took the aforesaid oath to support
the Constitution of the United States.
With members of Congress it is different.

In the course of a serenade speech
since his nomination, the Liberal cIndi-
date for the Vice-Presidency thus spoke
of the head of the ticket:
Mr.. Greeley may not be what some would
call "A fine gentleman. of elegant manners.

such as stock raising, looking after the III

The Monthly Review, the organ of the
oored Radicals of this State, edited by
Fey. James Lynch, deprecates the i'm
p,atation that the people of his race are
fortunately grasping, and cites the fact
hat they are without single Represent
awe in Congress, and are not represent
cd IN the State offices at all proportion
a'ely to their numbers. This is all true.
When it is considered that they are fur
ashing nine hundred and ninety-nlne
voters out Of every thousand in the Re
publican party in this State, we have
been amazed at the moderation of their
Fetensions. 1t is true they asserted
Themselves when they put Morgan, a
HaIfand-Half, in the lead in the late
lo1ncil Of Mongrels, and claimed an
4lal division of delegates to the Grant
Convention; but when did they ever be-

 s-One item included in these claims is the expenses of the war from the battle ol Gektysburg, which would amount to ovel one thousand millions of dollars. Car any 0ne believe that the English Commis. sioners ever intended that such a demand should be considered by the arbitrators, particularly as one clause of the treaty skipalates that the amount of the award, if any. shall be paid in gold at the city of Washington within one year? Would they have consented tOpledge their government to the possible payment of an amount that ep1ld not be hquidated within that time Why, If such enormous claims were to be preferred, did not the American Commis- siOaers insist upon their being inserted in the treaty, and thereby prevent the possi- elllty of any misunderstanding ?"

gloss and freshness of yoath. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the foliicles are de- stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, SO that new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling of, and consequently prevent badness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- tion of dandruff,, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found 50 desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy lastre, and a grateful perfume.
