The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1875-02-18

| A leading conservative journal in tht
| West, the st. Louis Republican, says
that the passage of the Civil Rights bill
shows that the motive of the Radical
partisans is not to confer benefits on the
colored people, the mass of whom will
not even realize its existence, "but to
| "infame the Southern whites to exhibit
s'tions of violent personal conduct. The
''Republican leaders have not forgotten
''their habit of relying on the imprudence
''and folly of their opponents, and they are
"now coolly calculating to make this unfor
''tunate Democratic infrmity an instru-
"ment for retrieving their own defeats"
Our St. Louis contemporary may except
Mississippi from the States where vio-
lence, on account of this measure, is ap-
pretended. We have had much more
ample Civil Rights law on our statute
book for several years, and it has given
the people very little, if any, concern.
ride the invincible common law of hui
man nature, which God has placed above
mortal enactments, it has been nullity.
There is no express provision in the pub
lie school law forbidding mixed sch ools,
or recognizing race distinctions, and yet
under the natural prompting of each
race to mingle with its own kind, there
has never been so much as a thought of
anything else but separate schools The
natural law is paramount, and no human
enactment would avail to set it aside.
The attempt to do SO might, and doubt
ess would, break up the school system
ut it would not change it to mixed one.
We repeat that the law of this State,
n the subject of Civil Rights, is more
measure than the act of
congress-; but it has produced none of the
utbursts of passion, nor the excuses .
hich are expected and hoped for by the b
.adical schemes on the one hand, and e
readed by our Northern Democratic s
lends on the other. The truth is, in Il
much as we, of Mississippi already
ave Civil Rights law on our statute I
'oks, we rather like the idea of putting p
similar measure upon the Northern VI
ates in which demagogues have loudly l'
scanted upon the beauties of Civil m
ghts, but have carefully avoided tn
Hipg any of it themselves. Of
Our friends elsewhere may dismiss al al
cir fears. Even if the Senate passes ~ ~
2 bill and it becomes a law, there will 90
be no exhibitions Of violent personal nc
lduct' IN this part of the country SCI
the Radical demagogues try the ~
olesome bitter of their own medicine 90,
test how it will work. off

NOTES FROM THE CAPITOL.
SENATE-THIRTY-S SEVENTH DAY.

THURSDAY Feb. Is, 1875.
A RESOLUTION to inquire if the office O.
Sergeant-at-Arms was vacant, and to deter
mine whether he was entitled to pay during
his absence was discussed at length and
adopted. Mr.. Redmond, the Sergeant-at-
Arms, is in Washington, looking after the
appointm ent of United States Marshal for
the Southern District, to which place Re-
publican Legislative caucus recommended
him.
A SUPPLEMENTAL Salary Bill to give the
Lieutenant Governor $1,000 per annum
passed. The bill originally passed the
Senate for that amount, but by clerical
error went to the Governor at 81 900 90.
BILLS to change the boundary lines of
Sumner, Choctaw and Winston counties, and
to change time of holding Circuit Court in
Leflore county, were passed.
THE bill taxing railroads at $75 per mile
came up. Mr.. Allen moved to strike out
S75 and insert $50. Mr.. Smith of Claiborne,
opposed the amendment. Mr.. Graham OPP
posed the bill as unconstitutional Mr.. |
Steele favored the bill. Mr. Allen opposed |
he bill, and Mr.. Graham moved to refer.
lost. Mr.. Steele moved to amend by giving
counties through which the roads passed
3 per cent of the amount collected adopted
nd the bill passed.

THE POLITICAL HORIZON

The division in the ranks of H.
publican party which had basom.
prominent before the forty-six br- .'
sion, it has been made apparent Ir
events of last week, still exists.
THE EADs BILL,
For Improvement of the mouth 4
Mississippi river, was introduced i
House to-day by Representative Stan
and was ordered to be printed am
committed to the Committee
leaves it in favorable position,

THE Senate to-day (18th) did a good
thing in passing Col. Stones bill to reg
ulate and simplify the collection of the
railroad tax, the merits of which meas
ure we discussed in recent issue. Now
let the House take it in hand and lose no
time in passing it.

The March of Events-The PoIiii.
cal Outlook.

We are in receipt of information from
Washington that Grants third term pro-
gramme is rapidly developing itself; that
he is determined to be the Republican
candidate, and to elect himself if des-
perate measures will avail. He will
start in the nominating Convention with
large carpet-bag vote from the South,
and will capture enough from the North
to give him the nomination. This will
produce Republican bolt, and should
be followed by fusion, with the Dem
ocratic organization as nucleus, Of all
the elements opposed to converting the
Republic into an Empire with the South
rnStates as conquered provinces. But we
willlet our distinguished Washington cor
respondent explain the situation in his
own words:
con one thing you may rely, Grant
means to be the next Republican candi-
date, and he means to be elected Will he
be nominated? In my opinion he aoiU.
He will start with 1873 electoral votes,
and can get enough from the North to
nominate him. Will he be elected
There will be a recolt in the Republican
party and he will be ANONYMOUSLY de-
feated if ace, the opposition, do not so act
as to exclude allies. But if we nominate
4 close Democrat, the Republican party
nay not be much broken. A liberal man
10
nan like Hancock Ca Democrat who {
ought for the Union) can combine all |
he elements of opposition and drive the
Republican GRANTEES out of all the posi-
ions in the Government in an over {
Thelming tide of humiiating defeat" t

NEW PHOsPHOR- BRoNZEs-Dr. Kunzel. whose
name will be recalled as the Joint discoverer with
NJ. Moutefiore Levy, of the we'll known phosphor-
bronze now announces the additional discovery that
when phosphor- bronze is combined with certain
fixed proportion of lead. the phosphorized triple
allow when cast into a bar bearing, segregates
into two distinct alloys, OF which is hard and
tough phOsphor- bronze containing but little lead
and the other much softer alloy consisting chiefly
of lead with q small proportion Of tin and traces of
copper The latter alloy is almest white. and when
the casting is fractured, it will be found nearly
equally difiused through it; the phosphor bronze
alloy forming as ii weCe species of metallic
sponge all of whose cavities are occupied
by the soft metal alloy segregated from
it. This phenomenon of the segregation
into two or more alloys of combinations of cop
per with tin aud zine, has long been known and from
the fact that such separation is generally massive
and not equable throughout the mass, ii has been
source of great annoyance to the founder. DR..
kunEel. however secms TO have succeeded in caus-
ing the segregation to take place in uniform dstri
vantage of the properties of the product which he
obtains III this manner, TO construct therefrOm bear
