The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1874-09-17

Vacancies exist in the following dis
tricts:
3rd. Composed of the counties of Pike,
Lincoln and Lawrence.
9Th. The counties of Jefferson and
Franklin.
18th. The counties of Leake and Attala.
18th. The counties of Lowndes and Ok
tibeha.
3lst Carroll, Lefore and Montgomery.
The Legislature will convene early in
January, and We presume the Governor
will order an election soon to FIJI these
vacancies. 1t will be perceived that the
friends Of reform by uniting upon strong
candidates can without doubt, succeed in
the third and fifteenth districts that the
31st is almost equally secure Git having
been lost last year by divisions among
them and that the chances are only
slightly against them in the fifth. These
elections are important. They will de-
termine the complexion of the Senate on
the question Of Reform and Executive
Usurpation-though it is by no means
certain that districts having Republican
majorities will sustain the Governor in
his arbitrary conduct in the appointment
OF Chancellors in preference to the 1t.
Governor whose action was guided by the
constitution an laws.
Let the friends ofIeform be up and doing;
unite upon acceptable candidates, and sup
port them as one man.

The exciting news from New Orleans
will attract attention. In 1872, what
was known as the Fusion ticket composed
of Democrats, Conservatives and Liberal
Republicans, white and colored, was fair
" elected by maiorities ranging from ten
to fifteen thousand. But by a decree of a
United States Judge whose impeachment
has been recomm ended by Republican
committee OF Congress, the Radical ticket
headed by Kellogg, was declared elected,
and the decree was enforced by the Pres
ident. The Fu:ionists appealed to Con-
gress for redress, but received none.
They appealed to the President, but he
persisted in recognizing Kellogg. They
then directed their efforts to secure re-
dress through the ballot-box at the COM
ing November election. But here again
they encountered the registration Act
which they assume placed the whole
power of deciding the result in the hands
of Kellogg, and which he was welding
arbitrarily and corruptly to that end.
The alternative was then resorted to, of
demanding his resignation, and in the
event of refusal, to compel it, and install
the men who were elected on the Fusion
ticket in 1872 The plan was promptly
executed with bullet and beyonet. The
hired soldiery of Kellogg was routed, and
in the absence of Gov McEnery, 1t.
Gov Penn took control of the State Adj
ministration while Kellogg took refuge
under protection of the United States
troops in the Custom House The former
evidently anticipating the movement, had
not called upon the President for assis-
lance in maintaining his authority, and
the federal troops took no part i'll the
fight. The application was subsequently
made, and the President issued his proc
lamation on the 18th, commanding the
victorious party whom he calls ''insur-
gents" to desist from their undertaking
and dispense within FIVE days What will
be the end of it all, cannot be foretold.
The worst the citizens antici pated is mill
itary rule which they prefer to the kel-
lOgg usurpation.

Whereas, it has been satisfactorily
represented to me that turbulent and
disorderly persons have combined togeth-

! State government of Louisiana and resist
the laws and constituted authorities OF
said State; and
Whereas, 1t is provided in the COnsti-
tuition of the United States that the Uni

Union, on the application of the Legisla-
ture or the Executive, when the Legisla-
ture cannot be convened against domestic
violence; and
Whereas, It is provided in the laws of
the United States that in all cases of in
surrection in any State or of obstruction
1 to the laws thereof, it shall be lawful for
the President of the United States, on

I State or the Executive, when the Legis-
! lature cannot be convened to call forth
| the militia of any other State or States,
or TO employ such part of the land and
naval force as shall be judged necessary
| for the purpose of suppressing such insur-
rection, or causing the laws to be duly
| executed; and
Whereas, It is required that whenever
it may be necessary, in the judgment of
the President, to use military force for
the purpose aforesaid, he shall forthwith;
by proclamation, command such insur-
gents to dispense and retire peaceably to
their respective homes within limited
time.
Now, therefore I, Ulysses S. Grant,
President OF the United States, do hereby

WHEREAS, The Instructions at the

millions Of dollars Of tribute; and
WHEREAS, the speedy removal of
such distractions is demanded by the
necessities of all States, lying tributary
to the Mississippi river; and
WHEREAS, The success of NJ. Lesseps

Canal will not exceed SO, 00O, 0OO, scarcely
one-fourth of the annual loss sustained

A Convention of Southern Republicans
is TO be held at Chattanooga Tennessee, on
the 18th of October, to consider the situa-
ton. Iftheir leaders are really in earnestin
their professions of opposition to the color
line, and their desire to allow excitement,
let them incorporate into their policy the
declaration Of the Alabama Republicans
that they do not ask mixed schools, but
simply equal advantages for both races
IN the distribution of the school funds.
1t is this mixed school idea which
originated in the brain of fanatics, that
has done more than all else to produce
discomfort, and which threatens war of
race, that would end in the determination
ofthe blacks.

The State Grange.

We have never seen body more
earnest in the pursuit of right, than the
Convention of Patrons of Husbandry,
who met and deIiberated in this city,
last week. The gravity OF their proceed
ings, and the profound reflection, which
they brought to bear upon the questions
which received their attention, would
have done credit to any deliberative body
in the world. In our paper to-day, we
have continued from our last weeks
impression, the proceedings of the Con-
vention.

10 the State Grange of Mississippi:
GENTLEMEN At the meeting Of the
Board of Control Of the Planters, Man
! utacturers' and Mechanics Association of
the State of Mississippi, held on the 18th
of June last, the undersigned were ap-
pointed committee to solicit the cooper
alton Of your Honorable Body in making
the Annual State Fairs what they should
be-a faithful exhibition of the products
and industries of the State of M;ssissippi
| The Sixth Annual Exhibition will be
held in jackson during the last week in
October, commencing on the 26th and
ending on the 31st. We have ALREADY
reason to believe, that in general interest,
it will be at least equal to any former ex-
hibition. In the display of agricultural
implements and machinery, we have as
surances that it will surpass any former
effort. But we are anxious to secure a
creditable exhibition of the varied products
of the State, and, therefore, appeal to
your Honorable Body to recommend To
your Subordinate Oranges, and the indi-
vidual members thereof, TO contribute. as
tar as practicable, to the display in the
several departments of the approaching
Fair. An effectual method of co-opera.
ton would be for each Grange to offer
one or more premiums for the best displav
contributed from within its territorial
jurisdiction, and the State Fair Associa-
ton will provide suitable award for the
best OF all entries competing.
We feel authorized to state that should
the State Grange desire or consent TO
participate In the management of the
State Fairs, that the Board of Control of
our Association would hail such co-oper
alton as guarantee of future success.
and would he glad to confer with any
committee that your Body may appoint
as to the best means of carrying out the
objects of our incorporation, which are

Mission 10 the West and North

Last week we published the circular
of a number of our citizens formerly
from the Northern section of our country,
rendering in the name Of the people of
the State, an invitation to the people
of the North, to come and settle among
us, and assuring them of kind reception
and generous welcome. The State
Grange has endorsed the address OF
these gentlemen, and to give emphasis
to their action, the body ordered the
printing of large number of copies for
circulation in the North aud West, and
by resolution deputed Hon. Henry Mus
grove of this city to bear it with him to
that section and to repeat IN the name
and behalf of the Farmers of Mississippi,
the sentiments which it expressed.
