PROF. ALPHONSE KILLER:
DEAR SIR:-For the alienation of human suffer-
ing feel it my duty well as pleasure to certify to
the following facts in my own case:
The past spring 1 was sore afflicted with Sciatic
rheumatism suffering night after night and all night,
without the least cessation, the most excruciaing
pans ever knew. My doctor who practiced in my
family for over thirty years, to my entire satsfac-
ton, and In whom still have the utmost confidence,
said that medicine would do me no good-he could
not help me. time probably would, and in six or
eight weeks it might leave me; in the meantime /
must grin and bear it," But was not disposed to
do SO. and in my desperation caught at the first arti
cle which under the name of Quack or Patent Medi-
cine, or any other remedy, promised relief. 1t hap

Revolutionary Schemes.

Five recent caucuses have been held by
the Republicans of the senate and of the
house of representatives separately, with
out being able to settle upon any line of
policy or to agree on single measure with
the hope of a hearty and united support.
These conferences have related chiefly to
the South, and nearly all the propositions
have come from the carpet baggers and
their confederates.
Every plan proposed by these Jacobins
furnishes the proof of reckless purpose
to hold power. if possible, by the most des-
perate resorts and trying strains upon our
system of government. One set desires
to remand Louisiana into territory aud to
overthrow the peaceful governments of
Alabama and Arkansas. Another class
demands new elections with more enforce
ment acts, aided by corrupt marshals and
their hirelings to direct the voting. A
third faction insists upon appropriations
for the army two years ahead, so as to de-
prive the new house of its constitutional
control over the expenditures. A fourth
set is clamorous for upsetting the estab-
lished rules of the house and trampling
the rights of the minority under foot by
transferring to q partisan majority the
power which can now only be exercised
by n vote Of two-third with view to tn
worst form of legislation. -
In the senate Mr.. Morton and his fol-
lowers intend, if they can, to seat Pinch
back, right in the face of the report of the
congressional committee, that the o-called
legislature which suddenly elected him
upon orders telegraphed from Washing
ton, is wilful fraud and without the color
of legal existence The object Of this last
movement is clearly foreshadowed by the
Presidents open declaration that he will
regard the admission of Pinchback on the
fraudulent credentials as a recognition of
Kellogg's iniquity, which he is bound to-
support with the whole strength of the
army and navy.
Other schemes equally violent and vim
dictive are suggested, which haye awakened
afeeliug Of profound anxiety among calm

A farmer sends US the subjOined COM
munication and desires to know whether
his brother agriculturalists who have
argued in favor of planting less cotton
and more corn and other provision crops
intend to practice what they have
taught, or whether they intend to pursue
the old beaten track themselves and let
others experiment on the new plan. The
inquiry is pertinent:
DIDO, MISS, Jan. 5th, 1873.
EDITORS CLARION: | want to ask
question tor an answer through your
paper. The subject of ''all cotton ana
no corn" has been discussed for long
time, and decision in favor of more
corn has been almost unanimously de-
cided upon. Let those who write
it, set the example. 1t costs nothing to
turn a cotton farm into grain farm.
The same land, the same fence, the same
tools, and the same hands, can make
grain that make cotton, and do II with
less labor so there is no risk only the
profit. Now want to know why those
who think it better plan are not Prac-
ticing it? l have concluded, as the sub
ject has been under consideration so long.
and so much said and so many agree TO 1t,
and so few do it that some are trying to
draw others attention off after something
else and reap the benefits Of good price
for cotton. DIDo.

The Recommendation of the Governor
that the State be saddled with the bur
then of such an organization as the
above, is simply infamous. 1t is found
ed on the SANDER of the people, that they
are lawless and need the compulsion of
such constabulary TO hold them in sub
iugation There is not more peaceable,
law-abiding State in the Union than Mis-
sissippi, notwithstanding all the provoca-
tons to disquiet and turbulence in the
form Of bad laws and corrupt officials.
The motive at the bottom of the pro-
position is to goad the victimized classes,
and by producing collisions between po-
lice aud citizens, furnish pretext for the
interposition of United States troops
1t is a part of the deliberately concocted
scheme of the political adventures, cor
ruptionists and marsuders in the South,
| to revive sectional agitation and put new
life into the dying body Of Northern
Radicalism.
No worse agents of oppression and dis
cord could be devised than this State
Police scheme Its baleful influences in
| the State of Texas during the carpei-bag
era, is well remembered. II i = repro
duction of that contrivance, and Of the
infamous Metropolitan Police diabolism
invented by the usurpers in Louisiana to
Cypress and bedeviI the citizens of that
State.
The expense of such a system, to say
nothing of the other evils that would at
tend it, would be enormous. And yet,
without any motive whatever, except to
create strife and advance the basest of
political ends, it is proposed to create
this organization. If military aid Is
| absolutely.needed by the civil admins
traitors of the State, why don't they put
into execution the present laws for the
the preservation of the peace (Which has
not been disturbed for months except in
a single county, and there the lawless
Office holders were responsible for the
consequences why don't the Governor
issue his call for all classes, white and
colored, to enroll themselves and report
for duty? And when they are so re-
ported, let him commission and arm i'm
partially, without reference to race OF
political considerations.
His scheme of special partizan Pc
lice, is not designed to preserve the peace,
but to drive the whites to desperation and
to produce violence and bloodshed by
hunting them down with an armed ban
ditti, licensed to murder and pillage. In
that case, it would be nothing but justice
for his bloody instructions to plague the
| inventor.

NOKsly said

The following remarks were made by
Lieut. Gov Dorsheimer, of New York,
Liberal Republican, who was recently
elected on the same ticket with Gov.
Tilden. 1t foreshadows the policy Of the
Democracy and their Liberal allies in the
pending Presidential election. There
can be no step backward
There are those who express doubts
as to the possibility of long continued
action by the Liberal Republican and the
Democratic party. Ii seems to me,
however, to be entirely possible to act
with the Democratic party in the future,
as we now do, and have done in the
past; for the principles ocIich the Demo-
cratic party of Ne,o York hare protesSed
are the principles arhich acre declared at
Cincinnati, and tteg must be the principles
,oLjeh shall be adopted by the opposition IN
1876, and, standing upon the platform Of
Cincinnati, We stand upon the same
ground as that occupied by the Demo
Gratis in their platform adopted at SYRIA
cuse and ii seems to me to he the part
of wisdom and high patriotism that we in
the future unite with the Democracy
For myself | have to say that | shall do
what lies in my power to perpetuate end
bind more closely the union which now
exists, to the end that in the great Presi-
dental campaign of 1876 the misrule
which now exists, both at the South and
North as well, may be swept away"

The report of Hon. III. II. Street
(Chairman) and others to the House
published in a late CLARION, was the
best illustration we could have given of
the propriety of our comments on the
joint resolution suspending the appropri-
atoms to certain educational and beBevo-
lent Institutions. We said, all right )"
as far as it goes, but why don't the
. Legislature begin with itself and stop
q the leaks which il has sprung on the
= Treasury upon its own account"
The payers have marvelled that a
regular session of the Legislature, which
before the beginning Of the present rule,
lmisrule,) cost on an average $50, 600,
and was held only once in two years at
that. should now cost from $50, 900 to
$3.50. 900, when it is held annually. In
other words, why the expenditures on
Legislative account has averaged of late
nearly two hundred thousand dollars per
aunum, when it was formerly about
thirty-fve thousand. The Report will
throw some light on this interesting in
quiry, and will absolutely startle the
public who little dreamed of the ways
devised by the tax-consumers to make
way with the hard-earned fruits of their
labor.
