The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1875-01-29

Even our respected contemporary OF the
Times. who has taken us to task, mas
himself set the example OF demonstrating
with the party in power, and OF com
planning that, having the means to correc'
the abuses which the people suffer, Il
has been criminally remiss. In his issue
of the 7th inst, he expressed indignation
at the loud professions and small perform
ances of the Radical leaders in this very
matter of reducing expenditures and oil
minishing taxes, and pointed them to the
fate that awaited them, if the righteous
demands of the taxpayers for relief are
not needed. He said:
The action of the Legislature, in its
recent extraordinary session, did not
meet the wishes of the people, nor did
it fulfill the promises made by the Ames
Republicans in the last gubernatorlal
canvass.
The Republican party of this State is
pledged to an economical administration
of public affairs, and to positive reduc-
ton of taxes, and unless these pledges
are made good, the days of the Republic
can party are numbered. The party
leaders must rise above the petty tricks
of1political demagognes, and they must use
their energies and their brains to originate
and push to successful issue some well
matured and definite plan that will posi-
lively reduce the public expenses and the
rate of taxation. Gov. Ames, and those
elected on the ticket with him, owe their
election to the Conservative element,
white and black, of the country, and these
men voted the Ames ticket because they
believed that his election and the success
of the party to which he was allied
would give that relief which they prom
ised, and which the depressed condition
of the country demanded Ihus far these
expectations haze not been met, and unless
the pledges of the party leaders are made
good, then they will have to give way to
men who regard the pledges made the
people as worthy their attention even after
they are snugly placed in office. By
pursuing that course indicated by the
party 1CdU0IS Ill tIlo 1dSG CduVdSS, the ne
publican party would very soon receive
the unqualified support of the entire Con
element Of the State; for our
peoplessare heartily tired of strifes and
turmoils, and yearn for real peace with
its attendant prosperity and good feel
ing between all classes. There are men
in Mississippi, even Democrats, who love
their State above all party ties, and who
would most earnestly support any adj
or party that will economi-
,ally and honestly administer the pub
ic affairs; and there are men in Misss-
'ippi-Republicans too-who love the
State and its prosperity even more than
he party to which they belong. IF the
promises of the party are not carried out,
hen those leaders aoho betray the trust re-
posed IN them aoiU be forced to giue aUay to
)urer and better men.
The conservative Republicans, and
his includes very large number, are
determined to have retrenchment and
,eform, and if the leaders of the party
cannot be induced to heed the Low but
constant nauTnoatr of the masses, then here
n Mississippi acW be witnessed even qreot-
n TeUoClction than that aUhich 4'ecentIy &C.

THE Republican Club of Jackson
claimed the credit of securing the ap-
pointment of Capt. Lake. AT all events.
it thanked the President for it. Now
does the Club intend to witness his re-
moval without so much as a protest?
Shall this faithful officer fall, "unwept,
without crime?"

SENATOR ALCoRN.-In holding him
self aloof from partisan and sectional
wrangles and devoting his energies to
the material interests of his State and
section, and especially the rebuilding of
the levees, Hon. J. L. Alcorn is
winning golden opinions from the best
sort of men.

oclor line has busted. '-Vicksburg

seTHE oclor line has busted. " lcksDurs
Times.
It may have 'sbusted" SO far as any
movement, or supposed movement, y
concerned, having reference to the clvll
and political rights of the negro; hut the
Times must have seen that it has showr
itself in widely different land much more
malignant shape in the Legislature. Ii
the latter case, the negro leaders have
drawn it against the Taxpayers and the
peace and prosperity of the State. An
unmixed negro vote in the House defeated
the biennial-session bill. An almost un'
mixed negro vote has prevented the re-
duction of Legislative expenditures. An
unmixed negro vote in the Senate was
cast for the highest figures in the school
tax. though it represents a constituency
that does not pay nineteen.twentleths OF
it. That most atrocious of all schemes
for increasing the burdens of the people,
and producing discord and bloodshed, .
State Police, receives its chiefsupport from
the same class.
This is the way the "color line" has
developed itself here at the capitol within
the last three weeks. We have been OPP
posed to it in all its phases, because we
have seen in it the forebodings of strife
and great mischief. But if it must come,
we had rather meet it in its present clear
ly defined and latest shape than any 9TH
er. We know where we will stand, and
we know that there can be no difference
between the white men of the State when
the issue is thus presented. They will
be clearly right in standing together,
without misapprehension of their meaning
by any one; and the very nature of the
issue and the tremendous consequences
involved, will compel them to be terribly
in earnest. And having no reference
whatever to the political and civil privi-
leges of any class, according to the accept
ed meaning of the expression, there's no
reason why, in such contest, they should
not have the cooperation of all well-dis-
posed colored men who will see the inius-
tlce of the movement and the necessity of
overcoming it in the interest of both
races.
In such contest we cannot permit
to doubt where the Times itself
will be found. Its own platform points
he way.
This platform, the Times recommends,
's one ''upon which all honest Republi-
ANS can stand" Aye, and "honest"
men of all parties. Here are some of its
features:
Biennial sessions of The Legislature, I'm
ted to slTty days, and proportionate re-
sotctlo11 IN the pay of members.
Let the militia be immediately dis6and- .
80 far from disarming the militia, it is
proposed by the extremists in the Legis-
allure, to organize that expensive and s
ilabolical military establishment, called '
state Police, or some other military
ystem, brlstling with Calling guns and
bayonets. :
30 far from holding "biennial sessions
nd reducing expenditures, it is proposed /
0 continue the present costly and bur-
ensome system, with its train of curses 9
the State. On these issues, the Times /
II remain true to its own platform, will d
ave no difficulty in deciding where it n
ill stand. c

The Chicago Tribune Republican,

All through the reconstructed States
the power vested in the Executive under
the laws made by the carpet-baggers is,
rs in Louisiana, utterly inconsistent with
republican ideas of government.
This is pre-eminently the case in Mis-
sissippi. The Governor even assumes to
invade the sanctuary of the judiciary,
and to unmake as we'll as to make Chan
cellors, with no one to question his con-
duct, or to make him afraid.

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE
EQneRtEian Clubs,

EDITORS APPEAL-Now that the
cares OF winter, with su our varied
amusements, are past, spelling
matches ETC., would it not be well 10
shake Of the annoying considerations
of gloomy fOrebOdiDgs induced by de-
fective and laundering "city charters" /"

and as the lovely spring is here (pecu-
liar to our climate), let the world have,
through the columns Of the APPEAL, an
occasional glimpse Of real life, such as
Memphis actually enjoys. THE invita-
ton is directed TO the youth, beauty and
manly intelligence of our city, and We
ask your cordial support in its behalf
Plesse urge our talented and dsshing
young ana old gentlemen to insugurste
equestrian clubs, in which ladies and
gentlemen If equal numbers may par
ticipate This exhilarating exercise all
may enjoy, and will he OF value to the
robust as well as the iBfirm. We would
be plessed % heSr from Colonels Wat
and Richardson and their numerous
troops Of friends in this matter, for we
accord with the many that in addition
TO its value as an eXhilarating exercise,
it would be even more pleasing to view

eganCe and beauty Of the nation could
participate, than even the imposing sp-
pearauce OF the organized bodies Of
manly grace that now adOrn our city,
frequently met in civic procession.

EEGLAND speaks. In the house of
commons yesterday Mr.. Lewis asked
Mr.. Disrseli what course the govern
ment would take If the independence of
Belgium was imperilled in consequence
% her rejection OF PIussia's demands.
Mr.. Dlsrasli replied that there had been
great misrepresentation and exaggera-
tion ia this matter. The Prussian note
70 Belgium was not a menace; it was
only remOnstrance. No Teioinder had
been made TO Bslgium's answer, and he
believed the question was concluded.
Germany had shown her cordislity for
England 10y communicating to her the
cores spondence. In conclusion, Mr..
Disraeli declared that were Belgium's
neutrality really threatened, her majes-
ty's government was prepared to do its
duty to their sovereign, and would not
fear TO meet the parliament. Bismarck
may yet find snsg in the "tight little
isle" He had better keep nearer home.
He has thrashed Austria and France,
has subdued and annexed south Ger
many, and bUllied or threatened every
power in Europe save Russia and Eng
land. These he will do well to avoid.
Either Of them, with France and Italy,
could readjust the map of Europe.

OF this denomination are being rapidly
redeemed in the redemption office OF
