Carpet-Isng Governors.

The Austin (Texas) Statesman an
nounces that E. j. Davis, the Radical
Governor of that State, is a fugitive
from justice. Davis was indicted by the
Federal grand jury for bringing improp-
er influences to bear in the Congressional
election of 1871 and afterwards issuing
false certificates Of election, and pledged
himself to the United States Marshal to
be on hand when the time for trial came
And thus by means of indictment for
high crimes as in this case-and of fear of
the wrath to come as in the case of Bull
lock-and impeachment and conviction
as in the case of Holden, and of defeat at
the polls as in the case of Smith of Ala
bama, the bayonet elected Governors are
all shutting off their official coils.

The Natchez and jackson Rail.
road.

Why will not our Jackson contemporaries
of the Pilot and CLARION stir up the people
of their county in behalf of the subscription
proposed to be made to the Natchez- Jack
son. and Columbus railroad - NatcheZ
Democrat.
THE CLARION has frequently referred
to the advantages to be derived from this
road by jackson, Kinds county, and the
whole State; in fact it has never lost an
opportunity to speak of them. Our
opinion of the importance of this road
has been so often expressed that if re-
peated it would be thrice told tale.
And we refer to the road now for the
purpose of reminding our readers that
the election for subscription to stock by
the county occurs on the twenty-third
inst. We earnestly advise those who de-
sire to see it built to go to work; they
have no time to lose. We do not think
any citizen of Kinds county is opposed to
the subscription, but the election may
fail by the inactivity of the friends of the
road. Be active if you wish to extend
the aid of Kinds county to the road, and
to have it built Do not neglect it.
The Democrat further says:
This is an enterprise of the greatest inn
por:ance to Jackson and Kinds county.
Every day Developments are being made
which render it probable that this road.
now being earnestly pushed forward from
Natchez in the direction OF jackson, will be
link in the great trans-continental South
ern route, extending from Mazatlan, hence
TO Jackson, Columbus, Decatur, and North
east to the very coast of Maine. Much
depends upon the success of the effort to car
~ the county subscription; and, although
the election in Kinds comfy for that pur-
pose will take place two weeks hence, we
have yet TO see any signs in the press of
jackson, of energetic action in its behalf.
To carry the subscription will require ac-
tive, prompt organized effort. Let our
contemporaries who cannot but be aware of
the importance of success. initiate such
action. Organize committees, send ont able
cauvassers, see that the voters come out in
full strength to vote for the subscription.
and let us hear the glad tidings after the
election, that old Kinds has cheerfuHy
subscribed two hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars to this great enterprise of
which its people will reap golden rewards
in the early future.

How Alabama has Managed the
Proceeds Of the Land Scrip

/ EEOCee08
We viii venture to say that no other
State has presented such an example of
profigate and illegal disposal of the land
scrip donated by Congress to promote
learning in Agriculture and the Mechan-
ic Arts in the several States as has been
shown in the case of the Mississippi
authorities. Thirty thousand dollars of
the fund according to their own state
ment have been used in direct violation
of the requirements of the act declaring
the donation. This sum comprises not
only ten per cent. of the amount of the
grant, which was directed to be used for
no other purpose except the purchase of
lands for an experimental farm but also
a considerable portion of the capital which
Congress declared should remain forever
uadinlinished."
We have before US the law recently
passed by the Legislature of Alabama
for employing the fund. 1t is strictly in
conformity to the conditions of the grant,
which require the establishment of an
Agricultural and Mechanical College, or
Colleges. The first section of this Ala
banda law as follows
Section /. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly Of Alabama, That there be and
hereby Is established at Auburn IN Lee
county, Alabama, "A College for the benefit
of agriculture and the mechanic arts, whose
leading object shall be without excluding
other scientific and classical studies and
including military tactics to teach such
branches of learning as relate to agriculture
and the mechanic arts in conformity TO an
act of the Congress of the United States
entitled an act donating public lands to the
several States and Territories W :ich may.
provide colleges tor the benefit of agricul-
ture and the mechanic arts approved July
2, 1864. uRder such regulations rs may be
hereafter provided.
The Alabama Legislature provides for
the appointment of Board of Directors
who are called to meet and organize on
the Goth. As stated by the Montgomery
Advertiser, it is made the duty of these
Directors at this meeting to choose one of
their own number President of the Board,
to appoint Secretary and Treasurer who
are not members of the Board, elect a
President, Commandment and such other
faculty for said College as may be ne
cessary, and to pass all needful rules and
regulations for the government of the
College or that may be deemed necessa-
ry and proper to carry out the act of
Congress of July 2, 1862. After that
the general duty of the Directors is stat
ed to be to direct the appropriation of all
moneys that may come into their posses
sion by virtue Of the appropriation made
by Congress.
The Ex-Oficio members of the said
Board are the Governor of the State, the
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton and the President of the State Ag
ricultural Society. These gentlemen are
also required to meet at the time and
place mentioned above to aid in the
work of organization and to prepare for
putting the College in a condition to
answer the end and purposes contemplate
ed by the act of Congress-
