The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1872-02-15

The ruling powers have again refused
to relieve the prescribed Southern people
of their disabilities. The U. S. Senate
ON the 9Th, amended the House bill with
what is known as Summers Civil Rights
proposition, which was carried by the
casting vote of the Vice President
Messrs. Cole, Carpenter, Ferry, Logan
Morrill,. Trumbull, Sehurz and other
Republicans voting in the negative.
Thus amended, the main question
Earnestly was voted on ; and lost in
consequence of the Objectionable feature
which had been improperly Inserted
Messrs. Logan, Trumbull, Morrill, and
other Republicans still voting with the
Democrats. Pending the discussion Mr..
Ferry, among others, made a powerful
speech against the amendment, saying
that 'assassin-like it would strike Amnes
tv in the back"

Cotton Money.

We understand that petition, num-
erously signed, by the present holders of
Cotton Money, has been handed to the
Governor, requesting him to commune
cate with the Legislature on the subject
of Cotton Money. The object of the pc
tition is merely to carry out the trust,
assumed by the State, by causing the
original borrowers of cotton money to
deliver cotton pursuant to their bonds,
or pay the bonds according to their tenor;
and that, failing to do so, the bonds or
notes shall be put in suit, for the benefit
of the general note holders. 1t occurs to
us, that, as those borrowers of cotton
money used the issue at par, as currency,
in the purchase of property and for all
their wants, it is but just that the holders
of cotton money are entitled to have the
trust carried out these or at least that
some equitable provision should be made
for their relief, so that the burden may
not rest exclusively on one class of our
citizens.

The Proposed Holmes Comfy
Railroad Tax.

By the tabular vote published in the
Goodman Star, of the election in Holmes
county, on the proposition to tax the
people of the county $4,000 for sub
scription to stock in the Mobile Il n. w.
II. r., we observe that it was defeated
by majority of one hundred and ninety
three.
This result is significant, and should
serve as lesson to the Legislators who
are voting railroad subsidies without con
sulting the people who are to pay the
tax. If they are not willing, in their
present pecuniary embarrassment, to be
taxed for subscriptions to stock in Rail
way companies, how much more less
would they be inclined to be taxed to
make absolute donations for such pur-
poses? Unless it be assumed by the
Subsidists that the people have no right
to a voice in this grave matter, their
cause is certainly untenable.
In the Holmes county election, there
was feature which is worthy Of especial
notice. 1t is related by the Star, as
follows:
DESERVE CREDIT.-The co!ored men OF
our county deserve credit for defeating the
Railroad tax on Tuesday. Noiwithstand-
ing the many influences brought 10 bear
upon them by Lee, Packer 81 CO.. to force
them to vote for this infamous tax, they
rallied like men and came to the support OF
the taxpayers, and through their votes, this
foul scheme of the carpet baggers was de-
feated. We say, three cheers for the cOlOrcd
men vino voted against the railroad tax.

Per Diem and Mileage Question

As the Radical majority have voted
down a proposition in the Legislature to
reduce the per diem and mileage of MEM
bers under the eompulsion of their pro-
found convictions that they had so fixed
the supreme law that it would not per-
NIT a rate of compensation more moder-
ate than they are now receiving-the
question may be considered settled, so
far as the action of that body is concern
ed. Nevertheless it is RENTED to the
people for their decision, and as appropos
to the case, we will present a compari-
son of these rates with the compensation
fixed in other and more prosperous
States-as follows
Rhode Island 81 per diem, mileage 4
cents; Maine 81 per diem, mileage 10 cents
one way; Vermont 81 per diem, mileage 10
cents each way; New Hampshire 81 30 per
diem, no mileage; New jersey SO for forty
days, after that 81 30, mileage 10 cents !;
Delaware SO per diem, mileage cents !;
Minnesota 50 per diem, mileage cents !;
West Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Kansas
and Nebraska each 50 per diem mileage
10 cents; Oregon and New York SO per diem
mileage 20 cents; Tennessee 81 per diem.
mileage 10 cents: Maryl'd So per diem mile
age cents; Kentucky and Missouri, s. per
diem, mileage 10 cents; Iowa s. per diem
mileage % cents; Wisconsin pays $3.50 per
annum, mileage 10 cents, and Pennsylvania
$1,000 per annum.

BOBBY POWERS IN THE ROLE
OF DICTATOR.
He Commissions Sheriff not Elected by
the People, and Orer-rutes the Decision
of a Judge aCith threats Of Martial Lar
and Military Bittle.

The Bully Boy who now occupies the
Executive Office has taken upon himself
the power not only to override the voice
of the people of Harrison county, as ex-
pressed at the ballot box at the last cleo
ton. and the decision of jury who tried
the election case, but now caps the eli
max by reversing the opinion of
Chancellor Henderson, of that District.
We condense the particulars of this out
rage, from the Handsboro Democrat.
Our readers will remember that we have
before referred to this contested election
case.
Last November Mr.. A. j. Ramsey
was the Democratic candidate before the
people for election for Sheriff l.. +.
Pradat was the Radical candidate. Mr..
Ramsey received a majority of the votes,
but Pradat contested, and BOBBY Powers
commissioned him as Sheriff by telegraph.
A Justice of the Peace and a jury tried
the case as required by law, and decided
that Mr.. Ramsey was entitled to the of
flee. On Monday the 29th, Chancellor
Henderson, after hearing the opinion Of
the bar in which every member agreed,
decided that Mr. Ramsey was the Sheriff
of Harrison county. The next day
Pradat entered protest which was un-
needed by the Court; on Wednesday
however the bar requested Mr.. Ramsey
to withdraw for the sake of public in
terests on account of the anomalous sit
uation in which the county was placed
with one person in possession Of the
books and papers of the Sheriff 5 office,
and another in attendance upon
the court, creating such a confusion
in the business as would work great hard
ship upon the people of the county; and
as the other party was ready to sacrifice
the interest of the county to his own per-
sonal end. This request was complied
with by Mr.. Ramsey.
The Democrat further says:
After this determination had been reach
ed, several kilograms were read from the
Governor, commanding his appointed Sheriff
to summon the strength or his comfy TO enforce
his claims to the office, AND PLEDGING THE
MILITARY STRENGTH OF THE STATE TO SUP
PORT HIM.

The LaudersIaIe Contested EIec.
liOm Case.

This question was considered last Fri
day. 1t is felt by both parties that the
effort of the contesters to deprive the
lawful members of their seats, has virtu-
ally broken down. There was not one
particle of foundation on which to rest
their claim. The speeches of Messrs
Lowry and Mcintosh, on the side of the
sitting members, were conclusive and per-
fectly irresistible-each on a different
branch of the question. In the course of
General Lowry's argument, the fact was
brought out that Mr.. Grace, one of the
contesters had declared that he would
desist from his pretensions if a certain
bill making an appropriation to him for
legal services, could be passed. The
effect of this development, as may be i'm
agined, was crushing.
Captain French, on the part of the OPP
position, made the best defense he was
able, probably; but he was evidently
embarrassed by the conviction tina: his
cause was bad one, and that in espous-
ing it, he had sunk the legislator into the
partizan.
Without reaching a final vote, the
House adjourned-and the question will
not come up again until after the recess
