The SubsfdY Scandal.

To the credit of the House of Repre-
sentatives We will say that they have
passed without dissent, Gen. Lowry's
resolution of inquiry into the Subsidy
Scandal, in which the Attorney General
! according to popular rumor, is figuring
largely. The Investigation Committee
consists of Messrs. Lowry, French, Street,
Hill and Spellman-two Conservatives
and three Republicans. The Committee
has entered energetically on their work
in a spirit free from partizan bias, and
with purpose to get at the facts precisely
as they are While their investigation
viii be rigid and searching, we have no
doubt it will be impartial. Several wit
nesses have been examined; some re-
markably interesting evidence has been
obtained; and the committee have laid
the foundation for further inquiry into
the details of which the public are look
ing with profound interest. As our deal
ings are with the tribunal of the People,
we propose to hay all the facts before
them so that their decisions NAV be form
ed while the Legislature is reaching a
conclusion.

FEE LIEN LAW.

The various constructions placed on thi,
/ law passed at the last session of the Leg.
islature, will show to that body the neces
sity Of an amendment explaining the true
meaning and intent of the act. We have
published in this number two articles on
the subject, both disagreeing with the
views we have presented in THE CLARION.
We will notice them briefly
We have assumed that the claim of the
party who furnishes supplies to the labor
er, has precedence, under the law, to the
party who furnishes the land Our
authority is Sec. 18th, which says: "Be
lit further enacted, that the lien hereby
''created shall take precedence and PRIORITY
''orcr rent and every other species of lien. ,"
Our correspondent says that "the lien
which thus takes precedent of rent is
the lien Of the laborer against the crop
which he makes on the land rented bv the
party employing him" But the law does
not say so. Nor Is it reasonable to sup
pose that its trainers meant more than
they did say in the act, because very
few, if any parties, rent land and then
employ laborers to work it, The 10Th
See. presupposes that the employer will
furnish supplies, and says that there
shall be a first lien in favor of the eniDloy-
err as against the laborer" for supplies.
&c. but the 18th Sec. takes wider
range and gives to the claim Of whoever
he may be, who furnishes the party sup
plies, DC, priority overall others without
The title of the law which
was intended to define its object and
is further proof that this is the |
true construction, as follows: can act
to secure (missprinted receire in the
pamphlet copy the payment of wages
md the liabilities for supplies" which
shows that there was no inten ion to
INIT the operation of the law to the en-
oloyer.
These comments on the views of our
are applicable to the arti-
lie copied from the Natchez Democrat.
We repeat that the law ought to be
mended so as to leave no room for doubt
5 to its meaning. If the Legislature
intend that the claim Of the employer for
ent as well as for supplies, shall have
rlority over claims of every other des- |
ription held by outside parties, let it
iy SO. We will further add that we :
link such modification of the law
ould be just and proper. We don't 5
Dprove it as it now stands; but this 7
pes not prevent US from constituting if s
,cording to its plain and unmistakable
nguage. :

anniversary of Mr. Greeley's birthday,

man who worked his way up from the
humble position of printer boy to the
highest position in the noblest of all the
professions

GeOr2Ta.

Governor Smith, of Georgia, the Other
day, in speech TO the people of Atlanta
after expressing his regrets that the
democrats, under the banner of Greeley
and Brown, had failed to get control OF
the national administration, said that
nevertheless their conduct was wise and
patriotic and that Georgia will continue
TO perform her part in good faith as a
member of the federal Union, and that
I'VE should send the wisest and most
discreet men to the federal Legislature. F"
Furthermore, while denouncing dishonest
carpet-baggers, he welcomed laborers and
capitalists to the South.

who have no idea of going
back on the Cincinnati Baltimore creed.

The truth is, Mr.. Editor, i'm national noIi- |

An Example for our state Rulers.

Virginia has a population larger than
Mississippi, and there Is no reason why
the expenses of our State government
should be larger than hers. Governor
Walker, in his late message, makes the
following suggestions in reference to pub
lie expenditures; Judiciary Department,
100000; University of Virginia, 49,
600; Virginia Military Institute, 3d.,
600 Civil contingent fund, $40, 900;
military, $1,000; Auditors, Second
Auditors, and Treasurer's contingent
fund, $4,000; expenses Attorney Gen
erals office, $1,000.
Why can't our rulers come down to
the Virginia standard?

The Seashore Representatives.

1t seems that the wrongs which the
/ Seashore people have endured in having
thrust upon them Representatives, not OF
their choice have not ended. Mr.. A. NJ.
Slayden was chosen by clearly ascer-
tanned majority to represent Hancock and
Pearl counties, at the special election in
November. This result was attained
after throwing out, ou account of infor-
mality, one of he b.l.s a6waich he re
ceived a majori - b votes. His seat
nevertheless is contested ny Ewing Cowan
(colored). Whether the majority in the
House will insist on seating another bogus
Representative in addition to Lindsey,
the surreptitious member from Harrison.

snry to say that Col J. T. II. Claiborne

The Reform Measures iruel,4eree.

=
Our apprehensions that the acting
| Governor would exercise his brief au-
| thority to defeat the bills to reduce
| the expenses of the State Govern
ment, were but too we'll founded When
the suspicion was first expressed, it was
repelled by the Radical organ here as an
uniounded imputation on the good faith
Of the acting Governor; and the pledge
was made for him that the bills would be
signed as soon as the "Spring Courts ="
were over. These authorized pledges
were accepted in good faith, and the
press and the people patiently awaited
the deliverance. His accidency continued
thus for a time to hold the word of pro-
mise to the ear-then he commenced to
palter in double sense, until at last his
good intentions (if he ever entertained
them all vanished; and now he has
thrown of his disguise and stands before
the indignant public a mere trifer and
cheat. He urged the Legislature to re-
form public expenditures That body
took him at his word. They passed
series of bills in conformity with his own
recommendations which would have
lessened the burdens Of the taxpayers
$3.50, 900, per anDum. And, now, be
hold the end. His thunder was the sound
of penny-whistie provocative Of derision
and contempt. On the issue thus forced
we propose to go before the oyer-burdened
taxpayers at the coming election. Re
lieved Of their political disabilities, and
with no outside issues to attract their al
tention from home affairs, they will be
