The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1873-07-03

The practice of taxing the people for
the benefit of Railroad and other corpor-
ations, is liable to great abuse. Their
right to fair election to determine their
willingness to submit to such imposition,
should be securely guarded, and without
it no tax should be levied. Recently, in
Calhoun county, a meeting was held in
reference to the tax proposed to be as
sessed for the benefit of the Vicksburg
and Nashville Railroad. In this meeting
a number of the most influential citizens
participated = Messrs. Or. Baker,
Thornton. Page, Lamar, and Denton,
among the number. The meeting de-
clared that the proposed tax is illegal
" and unjust and ought not to be levied
"upon or collected from the taxpayers
" of said county, because the pretended
/" Railroad election upon which said rail-
" road tax is based was held without the
proper notice of said election being
"given to the voters of the county as re-
"quired by law; and for that reason the
&c said election and tax based thereon is
T" void" UnIuestionably these grounds
are sufficient to justify combating the
collection of the tax; and this we infer
to be the intention of the citizens associ-
ated in the movement.

A Democratic saIary-Grabber.

We have seen that Samuel j. Randall
NJ G. from Pennsylvania, has written a
letter to Justify the back-salary grab, in
which he participated, on the ground that
it was necessary to increase the pay of
Congressman in order to keep them from
selling their votes. The logic of his po-
sition is that Senators and Representa-
tives must be hired to be honest, and to
vote upon the merits of measures, and
not with reference to the compensation
which may be given them by interested
parties. We submit that the annual
salary of 81, 800 was an extravagant sum
which these patriots voted themselves for
aa average of not half years service ;
but they forget that it is not the increase
of salary which is SO much complained
of by the country, as the seizure for each
of them of nearly five thousand dollars
back pay from the treasury. In other
words, they had contracted to serve a
term for So, 900 per annum, but at its
expiration, having the keys of the
treasury in their hands, they helped
themselves to a large sum in addition.
1t is this highway robbery, amounting in
the aggregate to over half million of
dollars, of which the people are COM
planning.
Sam Randall. who has insnlted the
intelligence of the country by the excuse
above rendered, will no doubt be per-
mitted by his constituents to retire on
his laurels. The Democracy at large
have a right at least to demand that he
shall no longer be set up as a shining
light in the capacity of chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Executive
Committee

A Serious Charge against Acting
Goves NOR Powers.

In the article published in this num-
Der from the Vicksburg Times, Radi-
cal newspaper, Acting Governor Powers
is not only charged with violating the
law in The time and manner of collecting
the money due from certain spectators
in their contract 10 take up the debt of
the New Orleans, Jackson and Great
Northern Railroad to the State, but it is
charged further, on the authority of the
State Treasurer, that down 10 this time
not one cent of the large sum involved,
1919, S13 %, has been delivered to that
officer, who is the q custodian of the
public funds" The Times, to whose in
vestigations the public are indebted for
this revelation, naturally inquiries what
has become of this large sum? Has it
been paid at all? If so, who has it in
possession, and why has it been with
held? Has it been appropriated to pri-
vate uses? Is there a defalcation
There seems to be something rotten in
OGuIudEk. ACCOIOluS ~ a ACpOAt Va =
Legislative committee. the failure of the
Acting Governor to comply with the law
in this negotiation had caused loss to
the State of an amount sufficient to pre-
vent her warrants from reaching a par
valuation. The public were amazed and
indignant at the disclosure, but the scan
dial was hushed up, and the belief has
been current that all the proceeds
have since been paid into the Treasury.
The Times undeceives the public, and
in the absence of an explanation from
his Acting Excellency, it necessarily ava
kens suspicious of the most painful
kind. If a satisfactory explanation is
not made, and made quickly, too, the
fate of the official implicated is sealed.
He is dead as a nlackerel. The Radi-
Gals, low as their standard of morals is,
dare not nominate man for Governor
with this accusation resting upon him.

The Antt-Ne1vspaper Law.

On the 1st July the new law deprivina
newspapers of the privilege of free ex-
change, and subscribers living in the
county where papers are published, the
right of free transportation for them,
went into effect As necessary eonse-
quence, newspapers will have to curtail
their exchange list Under the opera
ton of this regulation, THE CLARION
will have to part with some of its ex-
changes which have served a useful pur-
pose in providing matter for the enter
tainment of our readers. As we have
before said, this measure was adopted by
the Salary Stealers in retaliation against
the press for exposing the corruptions
and extravaganza Of the degenerate body
of which they are members. OF late
years, the Halls of Congress are notori-
ously an auction mart where votes are
bought and sold like cattle; and the press
was the medium through which the indig-
nation of the masses was aroused against
the wickedness of the unfaithful stewards
who had thus turned the temple Of legis-
lation into a den Of corrptionists and
bribe-takers.

The Memphis Register joins issue with

The Memphis Register joins issue with
us in our statement that the old Wing
party never took advantage of Demo
cratic divisions in the State, except IN a
single instance, and then it proited by
them. This was in 1851, when the
Democratic party was divided on the
compromise question, which, through the
indiscretion of leading Democrats, was
made the basis of false issue in the
canvass. III. S. Foote was elected Gov
ernor over the regular nominee, and the
Wings and their Democratic allies Sc
cured control of the Legislature and
elected Z. S. Senators and other officers
of their own choice" This statement is
strictly true, the ''recollections" of the
Register to the contrary Notwithstanding.
" The Wings and their Democratic al
lies" in that contest, through Democratic
divisions upon false issue which indis-
Greet Democratic leaders caused to be
made, carried the election throughout,
viz: State, Legislative and Congression-
al tickets, over the regular Democratic
ticket III. S. Foote was elected Gov
ernor and the balance of the State
officers were divided between the "allies. I"
Three out of the four Congressional dis
tricts were carried by the "allies." The
Legislature was carried by them. The
Register says that Stephen Adams, a
Democrat, was elected to the u. S. SEN
ate but he called himself a Union
Democrat, and was one of the I" allies
The Register forgets, however, that
Walker Brooke (Whig) was elected to
the other term by the same body. 1t
also elected Thomas Palmer, editor of
the central Wing organ, Public Printer.
We repeat that the facts are precisely
as we have stated them.

Mr.. Myers being informed OF the fact, went

a very severe whipping. The negro was
heard to say, Afterwards, that he intended
to kill Myers. On Monday last, while
Myers was blowing, the negrO, Tom
Wheeler, slipped up near the fence. and
shot Myers In the back. striking him with
twelve buck-shot and killing him instantly.
Wheeler is yet at large, though there is
quite number looking for him. He is large

20 or 81 years Of age, and IL presumed to
have made his way 70 COpiah county; had
q dOuble-barrel shot gun, and wore q red

We learn, from reliable authority, that the
real name OF the above fugitive Is Harrison
Duckworth. and that not long since he fed
from the northwestern part of CoVington
county, where he then lived. for similar
offence OF rape; after coming into the
nelrhborhood of Dublin. changed his name

about his upper lip, and while his arms are
hanging down, the backs or his hands are
inclined 70 turn upwards, ~ though his
wrist joints were stt0.

Reports from Washington represent
that Gen. Howard, who ran the Freed
mems Bureau establishment for the years
Immediately succeeding the war, has
made way with $50, 900, 900 of public
money; and besides has stolen his official
bond from the War Department The
"Bureau" will long be remembered as an
agency of fraud, and of strife between
the whites and blacks, during its dis
graceful existance in the South. Nu-
merous are the Mobiliers who graduated
in that institution and came forth experts
in the business of public plumber. A
large number of the present Carpet Bag
officials took their first lessons in that es-
Enlistment In the list, if We are not
mistaken, is to be found the name of III.
r. Pease, Superintendent of Public In
struction of this State, who has been
''blowed" upon repeatedly By one of his
associates on the Educational Board, j.
S. Morris. In late letter of the latter,
to which no reply has been made, q sharp
practice of the former of drawing money
under pretence of service (not rendered. is
exposed. The honest men of the country
will be gratiied that retribution is at
last about to overtake Howard, the chief
of the clan.

In our opinion the Convention, if called

Above every other consideration we

We are more than ever convinced, how

will receive more than tWo-thirds of the

undoubtedly divid d among ourselves, be-
sides being largely in the minority, and it
is useless to attempt to conceal the fact

We must have a ticket of home men,
thoroughly and intelligently identified with
our interests-frm, true and tried; men
who have manifested their ability to do

By such a course, we can command the

The Third Term proposition of some
of the politicians who are over-zealous to
outbid some others, for Grants favors, is
likely to prove a dangerous element Of
discord in the Radical ranks. The revo-
luton proposed will be strongly resented
by large class of Republicans who are
not yet prepared to depart from the ex-
ample of Washington and his successors
and it is not improbable that the cunning
ly devised scheme will return to plague
the inventor.

That the devil and Tom Walker were
to pay at the University last week on the
Commencement occasion. The Carpet
baggers were in attendance in full force.
It is reported that the Bully Boy was
treated by the Faculty with distinguished
consideration, as in duty bound, but in
some other respects all was not lovely.
A University student, a noble young
Mississippian, is said to have delivered
an address, in which he paid becoming
honors to the deathless memories of the
heroes of the Confederacy, at which the
c. BIS took umbrage; and a slight
breeze was the consequence. One of the
Faculty prof. Shields) has resigned,
salaries have been reduced, and the ad-
ditional professors demanded by the Fac
ulty have been refused by the Trustees
good things, no matter what the mo-
tive that inspired them. A correspond
ent of the Memphis Appeal draws a hid
eous picture of the desolation that
broods around and about the University.
Notwithstanding the large appropriations
which have been made by the Legisla-
ture. The truth is, the concern would
have tumbled down ere now under the
change of Regime instituted by the
Radicals but for the making of it free
school, and the bonus actually paid for
the attendance of scholars. How are
the mighty fallen!
