Cost Of tlae state Government for
the year 1871.

The Auditors Report contains much
valuable matter for the instruction of the
public. And it has nothing more
worthy of consideration than its state
ment of the expenses of the State Gov
eminent for the year 1871. The Report
shows that the entire expense amounted
to the unprecedented sum of 81. 729, 046
The items which make up what are
known as the ordinary expenses of the
government are worthy of special obser-
walton. The Legislative Department
cost $2o1, 072. The judiciary cost $500
991. The Executive Department (not
including the Secret Service FUND.- cost
1898 Public Printing s120, 000.-
Commissions for assessing amounted to
S11S,000 These expenditures average
four times as much as the cost under the
same heads, before the war; and in some
instances more. For instance, the com
missions for assessing. They never ex-
ceeded $50, 900 on a taxable basis of
5000. 600, 600. Now they are six times
in excess of that sum on taxable basis
of only s150,OOo,O00!
Besides these expenditures for ordinary
purposes, large sums were expended for
other objects, amounting to the UMPIRE
cedented aggregate of one million seven
hundred and twenty nine thousand and
forty six dollars. No wonder the peo-
pie are exclaiming in their impatience-

EDITORS CLARION I'm the Pilot an article
has appeared, as a communication, over the
signature of 1SeIex,n in which | am spoken
of as a Presbyterian preacher, who figured
extensively as an agrieulturist in your
county. as far back as 1899. Now, sir. all
these statements are true-with two or
three trifling exceptions. First-I never
was preacher-though, if could admins
ter, as we'll as preach, fire and birthstone to
Radical malefactors, should certainly be
tempted TO become one now. Second-If i
had been gospel-peddler, 1 would never
have been of the sprinkle-istic persuasion
for in case of the conversion of a Yankee
loyalist or Southern scalawag, / should
never have felt satisfied to baptize him in
any way, except By a six-weeks' immersion
in mid-oceAn. with fOrtS-tOn milestone
swung TO his neck. Third never was an
agriculturist; if L had been, should have
raised hemp, instead of cotton, that there
should be no lack of justiee-weed, when the
should come. FOURTH was not born, my
eyes had never opened upon this puritanic-
cursed hemisphere, in 1889.
Whether the statements of the Pilot refer
to myself or my father, pronounce them
false as the daddy of the party which that
sheet represents.
Hoping. dear sir, that the day is not far
distant, when all the foul horde of plumber
ing vagabonds, who now desecrate the soil
of Mississippi and her noble sister States,
shall be scourged, with their thanksgiving
master, the boor of the White House, back
to the kitchens and kennels from whence
they came.

CENTENNfAL ANNGvEBsARY.-An act
Of Congress was passed on the third Of
March last TO provide for the celebration
Of the one hundredth anniversary Of
American Independence, which viii be
the 4th Of July, 1876. The ceremonies
are to take place at the city of Philadel-
phia, and the occasion is to be an exhi-
bition Of American and foreign arts, pro-
ducts and manufactures The law pro
vides that in addition to committee ap-
pointed by the authorities of Philadel-
phia, a commissioner shall be appointed
by the Governor Of each State, constitu-
ting Board 10 superintend the celebra-
ton and execute all the purposes OF the
act. The initial meeting of the commits
sioners will be held at Philadelphia by
appointment Of the council Of that city,
on the 4th of March Cinst) We are IN
formed that the Governor has appointed
Hon. Q. c. French as the commissioner
on behalf of Mississippi.

BILE and Indispensable to the highest interests
of the people was forestailed and defeated
by a preeipitate combination inside the
Radical ranks.
Therefore, the defeat of this ''desira-
bic and Indispensable TO CentraPs COM
fort arrangement has caused all this
wailing and gnashing Of CentraFs teeth
Again says Central
Our opposition to this coalition is found
ed Oh prisciple. but suppose the inti-
nations of THE CLARION be true, that
'.DisaPpOin has >ornew hat
30 do with our s.cEamOr.-'
We would like to know if we have not the
right and cause ia our own behalf and that
OF the common veal. to .'clamor" against
disappointment" etc, etc
Certainly, Central, you have "a
right to be disappointed" and to be
as lachrymose as if your eyes were
fountain Of tears.
Central says that he placed all his
hopes, aspirations and ,cires in connec-
ton with the printing, in the hands of a
Democratic" member. But some how
nothing went right; and the member
himself (who We know had rather not
have his name banded about in this
connection, and Is one of the ablest and
truest representatives Of the people in
the Legislature was a steadfast friend
Of THE CLARION from beginning to end.
50 much for Central-for our state
1ent and his admission Of its correctness.
Ii he has not exposed his nakedness, we
have never seen a poor fellow who has.
For humanity's sake, we had rather APP
proach him with backward step and cover
him with our mantle Of charity than to
make him an object of further attention.
After telling his own story of his plans,
hopes and ''disappointments," he may
consider himself dismissed - for the
present

Our able cotemporary of the Kinds
County Gazette is one of the clearest-
headed and best-hearted of men, but like
most other people, he has his hobby.
His mind continually rides at anchor to
the one idea that somebody is trying to
commit some outrage or other on the old
Wing party. For instance, he appears
to put trust in rumor whispered by
somebody that the votes of the Demo
Gratis and Conservatives in the Legisla-
ture for the Pilot over the Leader, was
designed "to build up and strengthen
''the old-line Democratic party of the
estate, and punish the old Union and
ewing element now and for all time,"
We assure our contemporary that no
thing could he more fallacious and alb
surd. As nigh as we can ascertain, three
fourths of the present Democratic or
Conservative members were old-line
Wings or the descendants of such. 1t
is not reasonable that they would have
formed a conspiracy against themselves
So far as THE CLARION Is concerned,
we beg our friend of the Gazette to let
his mind be at ease. One of us always
had for it the greatest respect in It's life,
and would say nothing, uffess good Of it
in It's death and another Of US was too
loyal and true a member of it to tolerate
any injustice 70 its memory or to his COM
patriots who have survived Its dissolution.
We are striving TO keep up with the
times and to act on the rule to let the
dead (part) bury its dead

TO show how the public money goes
We may mention the proposition Of an
Opposition Representative a few days
ago that a Select Committee of the
Legislature should be appointed to visit
and inspect and report upon the condition
Of the Hospitals in different portions Of
the State-the expenses of the Commit
tee to be paid, and a Clerk to be fur
nished them at cost Of IS 90 per day.
There Is no occasion for this expense.
1t is the duty of the Trustees and Super
intendents Of these Institutions to report
their condition to the Governor and it
is his duty to communicate the facts to
the Legislature for such legislation as
may be required.

SIR-As members OF "A special committee
appointed by the House of Representatives
70 make certain Investigations concerning
the Agricultural College land scrip granted
to this State by act of Congress, we respect
fully invite your attention to the following
preamble and resolution adopted by the
House on the 30 inst:
Whereas. BY an act OF Congress, approved
July 2 1862, certain land scrip was granted
To this State; and whereas the Governor,
by virtue of a law passed in 1871, was
authorized TO receive and dispose OF the
same, and the amount when realized, being
appropriated to the Oxford and Alcorn
Universities; therefore, be it
Resolved, That a special committee CT
three be appointed tO call on the State
that said scrip brought when it was sold,
and at what date the money was placed in
his possession, and all other maCters con-
nected Herewith, and report to this body,
instanter.
All the information asked for in the above
resolution cannot be obtained from the
State Treasurer. inasmuch as the law makes
IL no part OF the duty of that officer TO have
ANYTHING whatever 10 do with said scrip. or
the proceeds thereof in money. but merely
requires him TO hold in trust for the two
universities of the State. such bonds of the
United States. or of the State of Mississippi
as NAV be purchased by the Governor, and
deposited with him out of the money de-
rived from the sale OF said College scrip.
You will. therefore, see that we can only
procure all the information required in the
above resolution by getting you. whose duty
il was made by law 10 receipt for and sell
the scrip in question, such report Of your
official connection with the same as you are
able to make, which we solicit at your ear
liest convenience.
We have the honor TO remain.
