The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-10-06

A streak of light breaks through the
darkness of misrule in Washington coun-
ty. The Democratic Conservatives and
the colored Republicans who are in favor
of reform, have through Executive Com
mittees, after due elaboration, formed a
combination ticket on the following
basis:
Greenville Times.l
To the Democratic Conservative Con-
ventions was conceded the Sheriff, one
member of the Legislature, the District
Attorney, members of the, Board of Su
pervisors, and half the Magistrates: The
Republicans naming the other candidates
for county offices. All the candidates
constitute ticket called the peoples"
which we publish.
For Sheriff-W. E. Hunt Chancery
Clerk-A. w. Shadd; Circuit Clerk
l.. M. p Watkins; Treasurer-Rich-
mond Garter; Assessor-Elisha Booker !;
Members of the Legislature-Dr. j. B..

We are glad to see in this list, among
other good names, that of w. A. Percy
for the Legislature. He will do honor
to his county and State,

why did Howe Import Settle into
the State and have him NOmi.
mated for District Attorney?

The question has puzzled number OF
persons. why Mark Brady, who is Jealous
Republican, and, as prosecuting Attor-
ney, is as efficient as any other person OF
his party in the State, was discarded, and
Settle, an imported darkey STRIPPING,
nominated in his place? The Grenada
Republican solves the mystery. It says
in effect that Howe has embezzled public
monies collected from the taxpayers of
Pamela county, and he has use for a
supple tool in the Office of prosecuting
Attorney, who will not permit him to be
prosecuted for the offence. The Republic
can is Radical printing organ, and is
good authority on that subject. 1t says :
JAS T. Settle, of Pamela Countrywide
is he? This question has been asked us
by more than q hundred people, and as
so many desire the same information, we
here submit what we know of our own
knowledge and what we have heard.
Settle is bright mulatto, apparently
about n years of age, of good address,
6uQ WAS lLupOTk0Q from w dSnIOSGO0, IL.
c., by A. r. Howe, Of Pamela county,
to canvass this Congressional District in
his (Howe's) interest. In part payment
therefor, as we are informed, he was to
receive the nomination of District
Attorney for the Twelfth Judicial District.
Howe has succeeded in getting him
nominated, Notwithstanding Settle ia not
a citizen Of the State Of Mississippi, not
having resided here the length of time
that the law requires.
Query-Hasn't Howe's Indebtedness to
Pamela county something to do with the
nomination of the District Attorney? We
think it has.
For as sure as the sun rises in the east,
just as sure are we that suit will be
brought against A. r. and w. w. Howe
for the recovery of the moneys which
they Withhold from the Treasury of Pamela
county. Settle, if elected, has to prosecute
these cases.
Had Howe this in his mird when he
worked to secure Settles nomination
Did he not think, 81 can settle this little
matter of money very easily, can / but
secure the District Attorney ?" From
Howe's previous action in this matter, we
are inclined to think that he had this
thing in view first, last and all the time.

There Is no rest for the overburdened
taxpager, under the grinding system,
enforced by the Radical taxeaters in this
State. The following is an extract from
the law now in force
SEc..2. Be II further enacted, That all
State, county, school and other taxes,
shall be paid on or before the first Monday
in December of each year, and upon all
t@xes note paid, the sum of thirty per
cert. additional shall be charged and
collected, and upon all sums not paid into
the State or county Treasury on or before
the twentieth day Of December, and upon
all sums on which damages were collected,
the said thirty per cent. additional shall
be required of the Collector.
The Auditor of Public Accounts has
issued a circular, calling attention to the
foregoing provision, and also stating to
collectors and taxpayers that lands
are deiipauents after the 1st Monday
of Deeember, and must be advertised and
sold, e. if no sufficient personal property
can be found, , on the list Monday OF
January, if the taxes, damages and costs,
are not paid prior to sale. See section
1897, Code of 1871, and section 8, Act
referred to; also section Is, page Is,
Act approved March LIST, 1875, (Abate.
ment Act.)
The Collector is authorized to charge 5
per cent. additional compensation ON all
taxes collected by him after the LIST
Monday of December, section 1899, Code
1871.
The-Present taxation is clearly illegiti.
mate. 1t exceeds the Limitations of the
powers Of government, inasmuch as it is
imposed for purposes outside of its
proper ends and legitimate functions, and
therefore there is no moral obligation rest
ing on the people to pay it. But if they
intend to submit, it will be well for them
to be prepared for the final day, so as to
escape the enormous penalty imposed fol
non payment The true plan, however,
will be for them to rid themselves of the
incubus as speedily rs possible by electing
Legislature pledged to reduction of the
taxes and honest administration.

The Metropolitan Police III


We trust our readers did not pass over
lightly this iniquiteus measure, which
was Endorsed by Radical caucus at the
last session Of the Legislature, and was
defeated only by the resolute efforts of
the Democrats, through cooperation with
a number of conservative Republicans,
who have since been read out Of the
party. If the Radicals get control of the
next Legislature, they will no doubt re-
vive the measure and attempt its passage,
not only for Warren county, but for
Kinds, Noxubee, and every other place
where the whites have made themselves
especially obnoxious to the leaders of the
Republican party. 1t will be remem-
bered that the bill in question constituted
Warren county "a police district for the
State" any portion of which was liable to
be overrun by the force organized under
the law.
Than this measure, nothing could have
been conceived more despotic. 1t vested
supreme power in the hands of the Gov
ernor. 1t authorized him to appoint
Commissioners who were to organize the
military establishment There was no
limit to his power, nor check upon his
prerogative. lie was to appoint whom
he pleased and dismiss at his will. And
the creatures of his caprice were to APP
point the officers who would command
the force. The standing force was to
consist of one hundred men, but it was
to be indefinitely increased at the discre-
| ton of the Metropolitan Board for special
service-the Board itself being the judge
of the necessity.
To support this establishment, a special
tax was to be levied upon the property
of the city and county. The cost would
have been enormously oppressive. The
three Commissioners alone were to re-
ceive $1,000 a year. The officers in
command of the police were to receive
$500 and $500, captains and sergeants,
respectively, and the patrolmen, or pri-
Yates, 500 a month. The city was to
provide Office accommodations for the
Commissioners, and station houses,
equipments, etc., for the force. The
whole cost would not have been less than
5000, 900 per annum.
Be it remembered that this was Rad
ical caucus measure, pet scheme OF
Ames, and that it sleeps only to be re-
vived and put in force to organize hell in
the State, if the Radicals carry the Leg
| islature.

Lynching has become of frequent oc-
currence in the South for a nameless
ofense which has been encouraged
among the licentious teachings of the
Radical leaders. Nor is such mode of
summary punishment unfrequent in the
North. Speaking of the lynching of
Shell, at Bellefontaine, Ohio, recently,
the Chicago Tribune says:
SIN this particular instance, while the
interference with the progress of justice is
to be condemned, there are circumstan-
ces which tend to palliate the action of
the indignant people who rose in their
wrath and swept the murderer out of ex-
istence without waiting the slow process
of the Court, with its new trials, writs of
error, and mandamuses for the benefit of
criminals"

A full refutation of Parker's cock and
bull story about threatened violence
and lawlessness on the part of whites in
Amite county and from the adjoining
parish in Louisiana, is published in an
other column. 1t will be seen that the
movement which Parker magnifed into
a terrible rebellion" was simply pre-
cautionary measure adopted by peaceable
citizens against threatened violence,
which they had reasonto believe had been
planned by the negro followers of Par
ker; and it was to guard against dis
turbance of the peace that their action
was taken.
The truth is that Parker and his clan
have carried on a wholesale system of
public plumber in Amite county, and he,
as the head conspirator, is trembling in
dread of the popular sentence which he
apprehends will be expressed through
the ballot-box. Hence his appeal to
Ames, another desperate carpet-bagger,
and his sensational story, which he vain
ly hoped would bring Federal troops to
his aid. But he missed his mark. He
did not get them, and will not. The
outraged and plundered people of Amite
will settle with him at the election, with
out the interference of bayonets

Taylor shot IN Rankin county died on

and a price had been placed upon his

offered $500 reward for Taylor. On

In another column, we have published
an account of the shooting of . man
named Smith, at Clinton, as told by
himself Also telegram from Judge
CabanisS, stating that he was shot while
trying to escape, after being arrested in
the attempt to break into q family resi-
dence (Mr. o. B. Cox'a) Since the
article was put in type, we have been
waited on by two well known citizens of
Clinton-Messrs. w. w. Dunton and B.
L. Todd-who state that between 3 and
4 o'clock last night, the night-watch,
Mayor Lewis, and DIR. Whitfield said the
man was trying to effect an entrance into
Mr.. Cox's house. On approaching, he
attempted to elude them, but they arrest
ed him, and taking him him to the guard
house, he broke of and ran and was shot
by one of the guards. BE was kept in
guardrhouse until train time, when he
was permitted to come to this city, where
he delivered himself of the miraculous
story of ill-treatment, related in another
column.
As it is probable the Ames press will
make howl over the case, we have
published the facts as testified by citizens
whose statements cannot be gainsaid.

LOOK AT HOME.

The White League ruffians of Missis-
sippi are still reveling in their carnival
of blood. Chicago Inter-Ocean.
None but the most rabid Radical papers
in the North have approved the course
of Gov. Ames, and the Inter-Ocean is
one of them. Taking for granted as
true all the ISLANDERS that have been sent
abroad by the Radical office-holders in
this State against her white citizens
(whose real ofense was their self protec-
ton against premeditated massacre) and
their conduct was no worse than has been
sometimes reported of Northern commu-
mites. For example, here is what the
Philadelphia Bulletin Ca Republican pa
PER- has recorded of certain disturbances
in Pennsylvania:
The assassination of men qOho hare be-
come obnoxious to the miners has assumed
the form Of a regular business in Schaylkill
county, and the uncertainty of life has
become SO great that the people are talk
ing about organizing vigilance committees
for their protection. That ought not to
be done unless in the very last extremity
II is simply scandalous that the authori.
ties OF the county are not able to do
something to check this murderous bust
ness, and they should be held responsible
for their inactivity or incOmpetency.
Even worse than these are the lawless
proceedings of the Ku Klux in William
son and other counties in Illinois, and yet
we have never seen that the Governors
Of either of the States mentioned have
called on the President to interpose with
the q. S. Army.

To the Merchants.

HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC AND CONF
sEvERvATIvE STATE ExECUTI VECoM-
MITTEE.
JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 4, 1875.
TO the Merchants of Mississippi:
In accordance with suggestions coming
from patriotic citizens in various parts of
the State, in which fully concur, ask
that the merchants in every city, town
and village in the State will, at an early
day, meet together and resolve to close
their stores on the day of the election,
being the Cd November next. / suggest,
also, that this resolution be at once pub
lished, so that it may be generally known,
and thereby prevent persons at distance
leaving their homes with the view of
transacting business on that day.
With the matter fully understood in
advance, no injury can result to any one
and if it did, I do no. think the public
are demanding too much when they ask
of each citizen the dedication of one day
to the service of the country.
Respectfully,
