An injunction has been granted
by Chief Justice Printon, Of ,Mississ-
ippi. a Republican, restraining the
Auditor from paving out any moneys
for the support OF the militia which
Governor AmeS proposes to call out.
The injunction rests on the fact that.
as this was time OF perfect peace
and order, calling out the militia
would be establishing 4 standing
army of State troops, in violation OF
the Constitution. If Governor Amcs
desires to amuse himself with 4 kri-
egspicl, to have companies Of militia
careering around the State, making
brave attacks upon imaginary enc
mics, to wind up, as such sports psu-
ally do, with 4 genuine brawl or bat.
tie, he is now under the necessity Of
paving the bill out OF his private
cash box.

y case not unlike that of Charley
Ross, except in one particular. has
occurred at Lyons France. 4 little
girl returning from school was cnti-
ced BY woman with some sweet liq-
uor, which made her stupid. The
woman then put an oldpetticoat over
her shoulders, let down her hair, and
carried her off. But the French po-
lice are not like the police here. As
soon as they had intimation Of the
affair, they did not rest until they
returned the child to her parents.

Going Too Far.

While admitting that the people
Of Kanawha county have good cause
Of complaint against the upper end
of the State for the manner in which
they have been treated in regard to
the Capital; and while We deeply
sympathize with them in their loss,
and will aid all in our power to re-
turn it to Charleston, and if that
cannot be done, will aid in its i'm
mediate removal from Wheeling, yet
We think the Courier is going too far
in its course of revenge. We would
be very sorry to see such 4 feeling,
as iptimated BY the Courier, mani
testing itself in the Third District.
We cannot believe that the position
taken by the Courier, is the position
of the Democratic counties Of this
District nor can We believe that the
"Couricr expounds the will OF the
majority of the Democratic counties
Of this District" We can safely say
that but few in Mason county enter
tain such sentiment, or such feel
ing Of revenge. Such position Is
fraught with danger to the Democrat
&c party Of the whole State. Ii the
party is disrupted and disorsanized
upon merely q local question in
the Third District, the State must
Of necessity fall into the hands OF
the Radical party. We cannot at
ford to say to the first andsecond dis
tricts that the Third District VIII
vote agains, any man from their sec
tons who may be placed upon the
Democratic State ticket. II such Is
to be our style of revenge, then OF
course, the other Districts will say TO
Us, VIC will vote for no man upon the
State ticket from the Third District.
This is what it will result in if the
position of the Courier is to prevail.
We have too much faith in the sta
bility of the Democratic party Of our
District, to believe for one moment,
that they would consent to an!
scheme, for the sake of revenge, that
would destroy the whole Democratic
party of the State, by dividing it up
into local factions.
the people of the Third District may
avcnsc their wrongs, without disor-
ganizins the party. First, We can
work for removal Of the Capital from
Wheeling, by inStructing our Sena-
tors and Representatives to prepare
bill at the meeting of the Legisla-
turc in November, to remove the
Capital from Wheeling to some other
point in the State, either temporari-
" or permanently.
Second, BY our members voting
against appropriations for their pub
lie institutions.
Third, by our delegates tothe State
Democratic Convention, making a
decided opposition against the nomi-
nation of any man, for any office,
who by his word, actions, influence,
or vote, assisted in the removal Of
the Capital from Charleston to the
city Of Wheeling. In this way we
can do much to bring the First and
Second District to their senses, and
COMPEL them to make reparation, in
great measure, FOR thcinjustice they
have pcrpctratcd upon us. Such a
course would be quite honorable and
legitimate and would not result TO
the injury Of the party. To such =
policy We shall lend whatever inhu'
cnce the Register may have, believing
that this sentiment as expressed
through our columns is the will Of
the Democratic county Of Mason"

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-07-28

The Republican Club of jackson pass
ed the subjoined resolutions at their last
meeting regulating I. w. Cardozo, who
disgraces the office of Superintendent of
Public Education and virtually reading
him out of their party. There was no
one to speak for him. None SO poor to
do him reverence. The resolutions were
offered by Mr.. John Patton, one of our
oldest and best colored citizens and were
passed unanimously by rising vote:
Be it Resolved, That the Republican
Club of Jackson hereby repudiates all
those who have by their acts, shown
themselves unworthy, and all those who
have now indictments pending against
them in the courts of the country.
Resolved, That We will not train un-
der the bad leadership of men of doubt
full character, and that sense of deeency
should deter all such from obtruding
themselves into positions of prominence,
in the approaching canvass.
Resolved, That Hon T. ". Cardozo,
Superintendent of Education for the
State, having been several times indicted,
and being charged, upon apparently good
authority, with corruption in office, is a
detriment to the party, in the position OF
| leader, which he assumes TO occupy, and
| d burden which We will not undertake to
| carry.
Resolved, That without attempting to
decide whether Cardozo is guilty, as
charged, We nevertheless repudiate him,
and all others of doubtful character, and
hereby give notice that the Republicans
of jackson will not submit to the leader
| ship of such men as have created discord
and strife, and wrought only ruin where
their counsels have heretofore prevailed.
Resolved, That if Cardozo is innocent
of the charges preferred in the several
indictments now pending against him in
the Warren county Circuit Court, it is
his misfortune, and not the fault of the
Republican party, and the party ought
not be made to bear the misfortunes oil
its individual members.
The True Republican at Aberdeen en-
dorses the action of the meeting anC
says:
We shake hands with Kinds county
Republicans on this subject, and assure
them that Monroe County Republican!
will demand the resignation of this brazen
faced individual, (Cardozo), who is {
disgrace to his race, if he is a negro
which we doubt; and to any party which
attempts to carry him. He has too muci
audacity and brass to resign, but he and
all of his sort should be kicked out OF
office.

Four NHiIIicns of Dollars.

Ex-Lieutenant Governor Bennett, in a
speech at the Courthouse last Saturday,
SAID that an effort had been made by the
Jackson ring to read him out of the Re
publican party, but he would not be read
out. The State debt, said Mr. Bennett,
when the Republican party took charge
Of it was $211 900, now it was''s4, 900 600.
The tax on the $1,000 then was So 80,
now it is $50.
This is beautiful exhibit. What is
there to show for this debt and the in
terest which the people are paying upon
it? Their taxes have been increased sir-
teen hundred per cent, and where are the
Lenenrs they have derived! Ineir earn
ings have been consumed by the truly
loyal taxeaters. The thing has got to be
stopped. They must be expelled from
office, or starved out

Alta meeting of the Taxpayers League
of Wilkinson county, Maj. Van Eaton
explained the object of the Association,
and said it was not instituted to resist
the payment of taxes, but to have all
property, real and personal, assessed so
that each piece of property should bear
its full and equal share of taxation that
a large amount of property, both real
and personal, heretofore has paid no tax
es, therefore making the burden unequal.
1t might also have been said that proba-
bly, one-half, or even more, of the people
who vote and indirectly. make the laws
in this State, do not even pay their poll
tax; and that the people who do pay
taxes are practically denied a voice in
the government. This is the republican
doctrine, that taxation and representa-
ton ought to 60 together, murderousiy
butchered in the house of its friends.
