1t was right for the Governor, in
his message, to concur in the charge
alleged against the last Legislature of
fixing "exorbitant' rates for the public
printing. And it was commendable in
him to admonish the Legislature TO dis
pense with the ''luxury" of a superfu-
Gus clerical force. But it was strange
that while he was pulling the mote out
of others eyes, he never thought Of
the beam in his own. 1t never occurred
to him that the salary of the Governor,
SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS, with furnished
house and other contingencies, is simply
an outrageous extortion at the expense of
the public. This salary is nearly one
fourth as much as the pay of the Presi-
dent of the United States, the revenues
of which government amount to billions.
1t is larger than the salaries received BY
the Governors of a majority of the
wealthiest and most populous States in
the Union. The poverty and distress of
the people of Mississippi considered, it
is grievance against which they have
occasion to protest in the strongest Ian
guage. And yet it is but one of a null
titude of avenues through which the life
blood of their treasury escapes into the
yawning pockets of the adventures.
The Public Printing law remains I'M
touched. Let the Committee on Print
ing be instructed, on full and fair inves-
tigation, to report bill reducing prices
and otherwise remodeling it so as to rem
der 1t a just measure to the State. The
Conservatives are III the minority, and
can accomplish by their own votes exclu-
sively,. no measure whatever, but the
are prepared to cooperate with others in
the cause of Reform, or if need be, to
work as a party, solitary and alone.
They have started the ball, and the
pepole will keep it rolling.

This is a good rule for the guidance Of
States as well as individuals. But our
Radical lawmakers do not seem to re
speet If. They passed a law without de-
liberation, last year, donating an indef-
mite sum to railroad corporations; and
have refused on second thought 70 repeal
it. Now let these legislators ex-
plain where the money is To be obtained
with which 70 make good his donation.
From the present promises Of those cor
porations, they viii be ready for from
$500, 600 10 100000 next fall. The
State has over million of dollars Of out
standing paper now due, and other war
rants will accumulate faster than the
money can be drayn from the people to
meet them. state taxes are now OPP
pressively high, and the Auditor say
that they will have to be more than
doubled to pay the indebtedness already
accruine. ia repeat then, where i the

will be called for by the railway com
panies in September: Il is not in the

Recently we published communica-
ton from Raymond Reid, Esq, a we'll
known, leading citizen of Leake county,
proposing the construction of a railroad
from jackson to Columbus, and advanc-
ing many reasons in demonstration of the
feasibility and advantages of the route.
Mr.. Reid and others who are interested
in this project, will be pleased to learn
that an amendment to the charter of the
Natchez and jackson railroad has already
passed the Senate, authorizing the ,ex-
tension of the road from jackson to Col
umbus, embracing the identical route
proposed by Mr.. Reid. General Martin,
the President of the Company, assures
us that they are warmly interested in the
measure, and that the link from jackson
to Columbus is chain in great through
line from New York to Houston, Texas
and thence to Mazatlan and Pacific con-
nections. Our friends of the jackson and
Columbus enterprise would do well to
correspond and cooperate with him.

Marshall County Deprived Of Two
OF her Representative.

The people Of Marshall will have learn
ed that this outrage has been perpetrated
upon them by the Radical majority in the
House. Messrs. Crump and Tucker have
been turned out of their seats to make
room for Gill and Hill, defeated candi-
dates, without even a shadow of pretence.
1t was asserted that there was illegal
voting at one of the boxes, but the con-
testers proved that they had no faith in
the allegation. by denying to the con-
testees their right to examine their wit
nesses. But even if all they alleged as
to this box had been true, the Repre-
sentatives who have been thrust out,
,couid still hare had a clear alaiOrdy.
The high-handed proceeding was in
tended rs mere favorihsm TO the candi-
dates whom the people had rejected, and
TO assure sufficient strength to the Radi-
call party to continue in force all the
oppressive measures OF the last Legisla-
ture The people who are the victims Of
these measures, as well as the immediate
constituency of Marshall county, will see
the necessity of renewed effort to rescue
the helm of the State from the grasp Of
the conspirators

The CLARION will certainly ''show"

1t is not in a condition TO preclude such
exhibitions. if it is the out-spoken and
just-dealing paper we have always taken
it to be; nor to continue its earnest adj
vocacy of a reduction of the rates of
printing TO just and reasonable stand

ing the consideration of the present law.
This is what we did previous to the late
election, which seems to have 50 much

still doing.
As TO the latter inquiry, We can only
refer to the faithful custodian of the

The Lunasfc Asylum Building
Contracts.

An important report by Maj. Gaines,
chairman of the House Special Commit
tee to obtain and report information CON
corning the progress Of the work, will be
found elsewhere. 1t will be seen that
they have reported that the work has not
been"finished within the time contracted,
and state that the drafts upon the appro-
priation has been out of proportion to the
work performed. The committee report
that great suffering exists among the
colored inmates in consequence of the de-
lay; and advise that the Attorney Gem
eral, at the discretion Of the Governor,
be instructed to put the bonds of the con-
tractors in suit.
The cause alleged by the contractors
for the non-completion Of the work, is
interference with its progress, in conse-
quence of the yellow fever

From Gen w. T. Martin, the Presi-
dent of the company Of this road, who
is now in this city, we have obtained
much encouraging information concern
ing the progress and prospects of this
enterprise. The funds have been raised
for commencing the work on advanta-
geous terms; large force is actively
employed, and about twelve miles have
been graded 1t will be pushed forward
with all expedition compatible with good,
durable work, which, Of course, will not
and should not be lost sight of.
The proprietors of the enterprise, and
especially Gen. Martin, deserve unmea-
sured commentator for the zeal and en-
ergy which they have displayed towards it.
Their faith in Its ultimate success, and their
ardor in a meritorious scheme have not
been diminished by the lukewarmness of
others who ought to have been its most
active friends. The people of Kinds
should display Il practical interest in it,
behalf. 1t penetrates very nearly the
centre of the county, and brings its most
remote regions to the front. Here in
Jackson it should especially awaken
lively interest and receive all the en-
enlargement which her citizens can pos
sibly give it.

Hon. j. r Mcintosh, Representative
from Chickasaw. has introduced in the
House, q bin Of great Importance as
measure of relief TO the people, entitled
an act TO quiet tax-titles and increase the
revenue Of the State.
The substance Of the bill is as follows:
1t provides that the Auditor shall report

criptions Of all lands forfeited or sold to
the State for non-payment of taxes-and

For the publication of this list by the
Clerks. For the redemption, in the

out cost to the owners when tax receipts
can be shown for the year for which it

even when it was properly forfeited or
sold, for its redemption, by payment Of
ali taxes and six per cent. without fur
Their damages And where third parties
have entered at Auditors office, it pro-
vides for the refunding TO them by the
owner Of all taxes paid by them and six

quisites of the law of forfeiture and sale
have been strictly complied with 1t
provides stringent punishment against
all thieving tax collectors who may
be convicted OF having declared lands
forfeited or sold for the non-payment of
taxes when in fact the taxes had been
paid him. 1t calls it embezzlement, and
provide. efectual punishment for the
crime
1t is emphaticaIly the Peoples Bill.
1t sweeps out this Auditors office as with
a broom-carries all the lands back to
the various countes-convenien to the
great masses Of the people. 1t provides
for their entry by purchase there at

to realize its benefits As the law is now,
none but land sharks and spectators
come to jackson To enter lands and spec
uiate upon the mistortunes Of their
neighbors. II is simple in its provisions,
yet clearly shows great care in its propo-
sition. 1t breathes vitality into more than
three million acres Of lands that are now
dead to the State, paying it no revenue,
but which if the bill pass will largely in
crease the revenue by being redeemed
and improved, besides it will save the peo-
pie hundreds Of thousands of dollars by
enabling them to get back their lands,
which have been unjustIy forfeited.

The Missouri Liberals opened the Presi-

shout and charge. They do not 60 back.
nor stand still; they move straight upon
the enemy's works. They discern, n il
by instinct, who is their foe. and their fire
converges directly upon him. Their artilIe-
ry is trained upon the White and the con-
gressional majority, and they do not even
attempt to conceal the fact that they aim at
nothiug short of the defeat of the Admins
tration party and the overthrow Of the
unrepublican and undemocratic policy of
force which that party maintains.

Our neighbor of the Kinds County
Gazette is egregiously mistaken in sup
posing that the Democratic and Conserv-
ative members of the Legislature, in vo-
ting for the Pilot for Public Printer {after
they had delivered solid vote for THE
CLARION, as a choice between that pa
per and the Leader, intended TO modify,
or in any way whatever qualify what they
have heretofore charged in regard to the
Public Printing rates. The alternative
of choice was between those organs of
Radicalism, and both were equally con-
cerned in having shared the benefits of
the. law. The one had enjoyed them !;
the other was gorging itself when the
election cut off its allowances from the
crib. And yet, as we have repeatedly
said, and as our contemporary knows, the
fault was not with the Public Printer,
but with the Legislature who enacted
and the Governor who approved the law;
and with the authorities who authorized
the printing. They were the responsible
parties. The Printer did what he was
required to do doubtless without a muir
MUIR, and charged the prices fixed by
the Act. The Democratic and Conserv-
alive members stand ready, willing and
waiting to reduce the rates to a fair
standard. They all voted for the bill to
let out the work to the lowest bidder,
and will support any other measure which
viii hold out promise of relief to the
taxpayers.
