If the editor of the Republican had
been an attentive reader of THE CLARION
he would not have asked us to prove
what has been several times explained in
our columns. But here are the cts
again. If the Republican has called
for them in good faith, it will reproduee
them for the information of Its readers
The law of 1871 imposed tax on real
and personal property, money, notes,
accounts, &c, thirty cents on the 500.
(Sec 1888 Rev. Code.)
The law of 1872 levies tax on the
same objects of seventy cents on the 500.
(Sec. IL.
According to our figuring, this makes
10 cents more than double the rate of
1871.
In addition to this double tax, a special
levy of 5 cents on the 500, for the years
1872 and 3, is made in currency to pay
the intereg. on the bonds authorized to
be issued in lieu of the old warrants and
! for the subsequent years until the interest
and principal of these bonds are paid,
this special tax is to be increased to 10
cents on the 500.
Moreover, the new law also continues
in force the special tax of one-tenth OF
one per cent. for the redemption of the
bonds issued on account of the Musgrove
Pictorials.
These are stubborn facts which the
people will realize when the tax-collec-
tors make their inevitable demands.
We are not trying. to "alarm somebody
nor anybody; but we are performing
public service in informing the tax-pay-
ers of the worst, so that they may be
prepared for it.
In this connection, we desire to say
again that the present Legislature
usurped privilege which belongs to its
successors, in Prescribing what shall be
the tax after its term of service expires :;
and we will now serve notice on all
whom it may concern that in the election
of 1873, the issue will be raised for the
repeal of the special tax of ID cents.
The regular tax is more than sufficient to
pay all the expenses IF an honest adj
ministratiOn of the State government and
to redeem the funded debt which would
not have been created but for the ex-
travagance and corruption of the Carpet

Testimonials.
FROM THE JUDGES OF THE HIGH COURT.

We have examined several chapters of the
Digest of the Decisions of the High Court
of Errors and Appeals, prepared by J. Il.
George, Esq. Accepting them as specimens
of the whole, we commend the work as one
greatly needed, putting into the hands of
the profession a key to open the learning
scattered richly through AZ volumes of
Reports. The Digest is accurate and full.
Great ability and discrimination has been
used in bringing out of the "cases'' all that
is in them of value. The matter is soar
ranged under appropriate heads and ii ties,
as TO make it easy to refer TO whatever has
been adjudicated upon a particular subject.

A Voice fl Om the SeashOre Region
Letter from Hon. Geo. Wood.



EDITORS CLARION II have just returned
from atrip along the coast. The topic of
conversation is the Cincinnati nomination
for President and Vice President. have
conyersed freely with our friends and the
general sentiment is against Democratic
nomination. The prevailing opinion is, that
by a union OF the Democratic and Conser-
yative element with the Liberal Republi-
cans. the day of military and carpet-bag
rule is at an end, but If division be made
between them, our letters will be more
closely drawn. L have advised patient
waiting for the present till the canvass is
fully developed. If without Surrender of
our principles. or an abandonment of our
organization we can support the Liberal
candidates it appears to me that policy and
interest demand that we give that support.
Believing that from your position you de-
sire TO be informed OF the sentiment of the
people in different parts of the State, have
written this letter. -i4ta'SL 1tfl

Dan. VOORHEES,, of Indiana, considers
Grant better friend of the South than
Greeley. IF VOORHEES, would come
down here and have jacobson, Grants
District Attorney, and Grants United
States Marshal of the unpronounceable
name, put him in jail to spend the sum-
mer months on account of his being a
Democrat, we venture the assertion that
he would change, and vote for honest
HORACE in November.

summer Defines His Position.

A Western telegram from Washington
states that Sumner has openly declared
that if the campaign only presents
Greeley and Grant for President, he
should support Greeley. The latter he
said was honest, generous and unmerce-
nary. The former was dishonest, took
presents and INDUCED in nepotism.

These prices may seem high, but when il
is remembered that the patronage of such a
work is necessarily limited and local, and
that the matter of the work will be as great
if not greater, than the matter in three
volumes of the State Reports, and the ex-
penses of printing and binding have great
ly increased since the war, the cost will not
appear extravaganza,
The work has been entirely performed
by myself except the title-"Limitation OF
Estates" which has been prepared bV that
eminent jurist Judge A. NJ. Clayton.
As to the quality of the work. | submit
herewith the opinions of some mem bers OF
the Bench and Bar, who have examined il.
This is done that the profession might have
some guaranty that the work has been
faithfully done.
Subscribers will pay the amount of their
subscriptions to Messrs. j. & L. Green, OF
Jackson, Mississippi, who will guaranty
that the work will be delivered to those who
pay their money to them, or that the mon
ey will be refunded without interest. Pre-
payment of the money is asked from sub
scribers, not from any fear that they will
not pay when the book is delivered but
because the money is absolutely necessary
to pay the expenses of publication-the
State appropriation not being available for
til at purpose; and it is hoped that the am
pie guaranty furnished will satisfy all that
they will get the work.
The book will be delivered by the LIST of
January next, (I think sOoner,) and deliv-
cries will be made by Express at any sta
zion on any Railroad, and also at Natchez
and Port Gibson.
The following named persons are author
lied and respectfully asked to receive SUBJ
scriptiOns for the work, and their receipts
will be recognized by me. and they are
requested to remit the money with the
subscribers names TO Messrs. j. a. L. Green,
of Jackson.

Democratic and Conservative Or
GaniZa1iOn.

FROM the columbus luueA.N
The action of the Conservative members
of the Legislature in appointing a Central
Committee and calling for State Conven-
ton, TO prepare for the Presidential election
in November, was eminently correct.
We said the State Central Committee was
admirable-and so 1t is.
We are not enthusiastic. but with such
men for our leaders and advisers il seems
to us the skies look brighter for glorious
victory over the carpet-baggers in Novem-
Der. If we are defeated. the result will
have come about in part from the conduct
of those fractions holdbacks who accept
nothing suggested by anybody else, and
would see the country torn by strife and
desolated with want and suffering before
they would yield one iota of their so-called
per-rinciple for the common veal.
From the Holly Springs Reporter.
The gentlemen who composed the Legis-
lative caucus were representatives fresh
from the people, and. without any purpose
to dictate to the people they represented. as
to the line of policy to be pursued in the
approaching canvass, they deemed il pru
dent TO appoint a committee which should
be empowered to call a Convention, if the
interests of the party so demanded. There
being no State Central Committee, it was
deemed the part of prudence for them To
appoint temporary Committee TO act for
and guard the interests of the party. till
permanent Committee could be organized.
