The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-12-15


Under this head, Col Johns, member
elect of the Legislature from the county
of Amite, presents some excellent sug
gestions in. his journal, the Liberty Her
aid, as follows :a
Now that the Democratic party has
come into power, and the management
of State affairs will shortly fall under its
control, we must not expect that all the
burdens of taxation can be at once re-
moved. A large interest bearing debt
has been left us as the legacy of Radical
ism, while the expenses of 1875 will 80
far exceed the income of this year as to
leave to the newly elected party bank
rupt treasury. A large floating debt will
thus go over, to be met in 1876, so that
however much expenses may be curtail-
ed, very large sum must necessarily be
raised to meet the demands of the next
twelve months. No doubt the Legisla-
ture will earnestly go to work with the
intent to bring down to reasonable fig
ures all necessary expenses of govern
ment, at the same time looping off the
excrescences which like fungous growth
have been draining the life sap of the
State until she stands to-day withered
oak, barren of fruit. The restoration of
life, energy and economy will infuse new
order into our people, foreign capital,
both of muscle and money, will flow into
our borders. and in few years the ma
terial wealth of the State will have so
increased that the percentage of taxa
ton will grow less and less, until it will
cease to be a burden. For the realiza-
ton of these hopes time will be required.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-12-15

The main hope Of the Republican lead
cas- to regain their lost ground, is that
the Democrats will play Tito their hands
by bad use of the victories they have
won. A prominent Eastern journal, in
an article forecasting the winters doings
in Washington, says that the aid and
subsidy beggars are gathering in force.
and organizing for a vigorous campaign !;
that the Southern Pacific railroad wants
some 5000. 900, 900 in lands and bonds.
The various projects of cana! and other
internal improvements it predicts win de-
mand no body knows how many millions,
but probably in the neigborhood of $780,
900, 900 as a first installment. The prop
osition to refund the cotton tax, amount
ing to about so, 900, 900, will be
revived and pressed. Now this is fab
rieation out of the whole cloth as to the
Southern Pacific Road. So far from
asking lands it proposes to surrender
those that have already been granted in
not of loan of money as
stated, but a guarantee of the payment
ofinterest on the bonds of the company
Nothing is asked in the way of subsidy
for that great enterprise which, though
located on the 32nd parallel, is to ali in
tents national in its scope and purposes,
aud is, therefore, not Southern, nor a
Northern, nor an Eastern measure, but
one which viii belong to the whole country
in its wide-reaching influences and BEN
efts.
As to thesrefunding of the cotton tax,
the measure belongs to one party as much
as to another. Its most energetic advocates
from the South were Republicans as every
reader of the Congressional Globe and
and Record well understand. The people,
the farmers we mean, who paid the tax,
never took much stock in the scheme; and
we have o.doubt it will be abandoned as a
wild hunt after an unattainable object.
Let the National authorities sshands Off
and respect our right to local self-gov-
eminent as it is respected in their dealings
with the Northern States, and we win
not concern ourselves about the refunding
of the cotton tax.

ImpOruans Facts Coming 80 Light.

Governor Ames' conduct in the Nor
gam Yazoo county case, as revealed in
the quarrel in the Republican Executive
Committee, reported by the Daily
Times J, would furnish sufficient ground
for impeachment even if there was not
another count in the Indictment. Ii now
turns out that in consequence of person
al affair between Morgan and two or three
citizens Certainly not more) Of YazoO
county, he left the county and imagined
that there was conspiracy to prevent
him from discharging the functions of
his office. Whatever may have been the
cause (if any of complaint, his remedy
was clearly III the courts, and not by an
appeal to the military power ofthe State
which, under the Constitution, is suhordi-
nate to the civil authorities. But, from
the Statements in the Republican Com
mittee, it i shown that the Governor,
in disregard of the Constitution and laws
VI Tic ClatCy dlttt VI aAu6
functions of the Judicial department, did
hold three hundred (negro) troops in
readiness and was prepared to invade the
county for the purpose of espousing the
side of Morgan and usurping the prerog-
atiyes of the courts. Nothing (according
to the testimony of these Republican
witnesses) prevented him from undertak-
ing this ill-starred expedition and lighting
up the flames of. civil war in the county,
at the expense of the peace and the lives
of the people who would have necessarily
resisted proceeding so arbitrary and
outside OF law-but the discretion of Nor
gan, which, (from the testimony at the
last moment, got the better of his valor.
