A slashing speech of Hon. Ben.
Nabers will be found in another column.
1t will be seen that he arraigns both
Ames and Powers as unfit for the
office of Governor-accuses the latter OF
sundry small things-and repeats the
statement which we have heard before,
that Ames and Beast Butler have formed
ring for taxing the State with the re-
undated bonds

The Vieksburg Times asks why ''should
/" THE CLARION favor the arming of the
g militia at this period of profound
"quiet? We reply that THE CLARION
does not favor the arming of the militia.
Not bit of it. 1t is Radical measure,
executed by carpet-bag administration.
But since the militia is to be organized,
we want the boys in grey to have hand
in the business as well as the other
81 hovs"

An article is published elsewhere, iron

An article is published elsewhere, from
the Natchez Democrat. on the mooted
proposition to pay the old repudiated
Bonds, which the Pilot says the Republi-
can party viii certainly accomplish if it
retain power. The Democrat specifically
charges that a sum has been offered to
that paper, the Nicksburg Herald and
others, by the agents Of the Bond holders
(who have doubtless become possessed Of
them for a triAing consideration to adj
vocate the recognition and payment Of
the claims. 1t further mentions report
that b. r Butler, the father-in-law Of
Ames, the prospective Radical candidate
for Governor, has been employed as
counsel by the holders to secure the pay
ment Of the pretended debt, These state
ments, coupled with other matters that
have come to light, have a most serious
and importand significance.

OK DIT, that the anti-Ames men in
the Radical Convention viii rally on Geo.
c. Mckee for Governor in the event
Powers should be found unable to make
the trip. Mckee, they say, has back
bone and bottom, and his success over
james Lynch for Congress (the details
of the scramble were duly reported in
THE CLARION at the time) has given
him no little prestige.

The Vicksburg Times intimates-vir-

is influenced by political consideration
and personal ambition" in organizing the
militia to the detriment of the public re-
pose. How well the Radical politicians
understand each other.

To see how completely the home Re
publicans are laid in the shade it is only
necessary to note that among all the pro-
spective candidates of the Mongrels for
Governor, they are never thought of.
We hear of Ames and Powers and Mus

of the Powers crowd if he should let
down; but never of home Radical, I'M

whom is blowing his own horn.

Elsewhere we have published a card
from Mr.. Abram Murdoch, denying in
the most explicit and broadest terms the
report which attributed to him connec-

the holders of the repudiated bonds.
There is nothing equivocal in the state
nent of Mr.. Murdoch, and it will be ac-
cepted by his friends, and the public
everywhere, as amply satisfactory.

An Inside View OF Kinds County
Politics.

The following letter of a colored official
of this county, written to a person sup
posed by the writer to be one of the faith
full, we presume, has found its way into
THE CLARION Office. We have omitted
the purely private portions of the letter.
The people naturally look to THE CLA-
RIoN for information on all matters of
public concern; and they never look in
vain:
JACKSON, Miss, May 9th, 1873.
DEAR County politics is
not very brisk just now, but I'll give you a
synopsis of that which is going the rounds ::
For Sheriff, j. M. Coats is again a candidate,
but With no possible chance of success, to
Judge from the present temper of the people.
Messrs. Geo w. Fisher, Cayuga; Chiffon,
County Treasurer; G. w. LOmis, Superin-
tendent Penitehtiary; Peyton Robinson,
and VIM. III. Harvey, of Edwards, are among
the many aspirants for that position. Har-
new, perhaps, has the best chance, as the
colored people want colored mao. Hodge
will be re-nominated, notwithstanding the
aspirations of Clint, for the office of Circuit
Clerk. Murray Peyton will be beaten for
Chancery Clerk by w. III. FurnisS. For
County Treasurer, Tom. Miller is spoken OF,
and in the event of failure to secure the
nomination for Sheriff, both Messrs. Chill
ton and Geo. w. Fisher will fall back on
this office. Clint will also aspire to be Trea-
surer falling to beat Hodge. For Assessor,
old man EbeneZer Tucker, of RAYMOND,
formerly a Professor at Tugaloo, is spoken
of. And for Representatives-their name
is legion. How and where shall | begin
the roll call? First, it is settled that there
must be
ONE WHITE MAN AND THREE COLoRED MEN.
, Well. the whites are Ii. T. Fisher. E. G.
Peyton, Col. Simon Jones and Capt Tucker.
| Public sentiment all over the county favors
Col Peyton. COlored: Nelson Potter. Su-
pervisor Williams, Lii. Robinson, Tazwell
Jones, John Patton, {. +. Norris, Harrison
Woodcock, Geo. Mosely, Lake Church this
is the list for this Beat alone. 1t would
take ready reckoner to calculate the num-
Der in the county. | was myself aspiring
to the House, but wouldn't L be lost in that
medley?
| The war between Senator Ames and Gov.
Powers is just about TO open. The latter is
just Ro91, sedulously engaged in commission
ing the prominent politicians mean, i
beg pardon, the militia officers; and tell
you, by the time the commissions are all
muster in, it will be all rank and no file. o.
course there can be no political significance at
tdched to this. God forbid.
Congressman Geo. e. Mckee arrived
night before last with his bride; perhaps
you heard of his marriage and extensive
wedding tour; he looks as well as usual;
have not seen his lady, and hence can give
you no description of her. i certainly was
glad to see him.
l forgot to mention az candidates for
Mayor-Smith and, will you believe it, the
Postal Agent, Col. Parker. who has no per-
manent residence in the State certainly not
in the county of Kinds. l believe l have
told you all worth knowing, and conclude
by asking to, &c, &C., &c.
l remain, very respectfully yours, S.

The New York Times (Administra-
tom assuming that Messrs. j. L. Alcorn
and George E. Harris have refunded

"these gentlemen are clearing themselves

svited the Forty-third Congress.

Senator Alcorn delivered speech in
Oxford, last week. We learn by the
Falcons report that it was devoted princi-
pally to the Back Salary Grab, and the
Louisiana usurpation. In reference to
the State canvass, he said:

said that whilst he was a Republican,, he
would not support a nominee of the party
who was not bona fide citizen of the State
and identified with her people.

In time large portion of the debt in
Cured by the Carpet-bag governments of
the Southern States will be repudiated
It's payment is an utter impossibility,
and there will be no other way for the
people to rid themselves of the burden
except by violently throwing it off their
shoulders. This will be righteous pro-
ceeding. The bonds held as evidences
of this pretended debt, were not issued
for any of the purposes for which agents
of the people are authorized to create
debts for the people to pay, and are
therefore not obligations binding in law
or in morals To show how fast th:s
idea is growing on the public mind We
have only to refer to the condition Of
affairs in North Carolina. The be, Us
debt of that State is about $50, 900, 600.
A correspondent of the New York Times
Republican, says that "Hon. w. A.
Smith, Republican Congressman elect
from the Raleigh district, has published
card in which he takes ground for alb
solute reputation of the entire indebted
ness of the State.
The writer adds further:
Both political parties of the State have,
up to this date. refused to commit them
selves to the policy of reputation, but the
repeated and successive refusals of the Leg
islature to do anything whatever towards a
settlement of the debt is making converts
to reputation. Resolutions drawn up up
date on the Wing ticket in 1852 for Vice
President, and adopted by meetings in the
various counties, pledging the Democratic
party not to pay off the debt IN special tax
bonds one cent more than the bonds sold
for at the first bona fide sale. is a long
stride toward reputation. If the bond
holders of the State would hold meeting
Legislature would have something tangible
before It; if the proposition were equitable
solution of the vexed question might be
reached at an early day. The proposition
must come from the creditor, and not from
the debtor in this instance. " the King can
do no wrong" and as an evidence of SOW
ereignty, it Is now said, :" The State cannot
be sued" The trite phrase, Where there's
a viii there's q way" has not as yet verified
State may be forced to meet just liabilities
With the debt in-fts present shape, the Leg
islature win not levy tax to pay interest;
neither will the people ever consent to paw
the face of the special-tax bonds, which |
were issued for the purpose of enriching |
the conspirators, with no intention of APP |
plying the proceeds of the bonds In aid of |
the works of internal improvement, for |
which they were cetensibly issued.
