The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-02-25

The New York Tribune (Liberal Re
publican,) referring to the desperate
game that Grant is playing to produce
trouble in the South, and thus impress;
the Northern Republicans with the BELIEF
that his continuation in office is a neces-
sity, says
Everything points to a concentration Of
force upon the programme indicated by
the Tribune few days since. The pas
sions of the war are to be rekindled, sec
tional animosities revived, and a presiden-
tial campaign made upon appeals to pre-
JUDGE and arguments addressed, not
to reason, but to passion.
If this is the game, it will have to be
single-handed altogether. The South
will take no part in it. Her people will
obey the laws and observe their obligations
as law-abiding people. They cannot
afford to exhaust their energies in vast
ing strife of sections. As for the wrongs
they suffer, they will abide the verdict of
the nation. They will also contradict,
by their acts, the SANDER that they medi-
tate any disturbance whatever of the
questions settled by the war.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-02-25
The Louisiana Question from Northern
Republican Standpoint.

Two notable witnesses have given tes-
timonY concerning Louisiana before the
Congressional Committee. They are Uni
ted States Army officers who are on duty
in that State, Maj. Merrill and Col. Nor
row. Maj. Merrill's testimony is unfavora-
BILE to the Conservatives; COL Morrow's
that he is directly the reverse. The latter
testifes is a Northern Grant Republi-
can, who resigned position on the bench
in Michigan in 1862, and went into the
Army, where he has remained ever siace.
The conclusions drawn by the Chicago
Tribune an influential Administration
Republican paper, from the evidence OF
these two witnesses, is that the Kellogg
government is gigantic fraud" which
the Federal Administration has wrong
fully upheld /; that the support given 1t
by the Federal authorities should be with
drawn and the rights of the people to self
government should be restored to them.
This able Republican journal says:
The statements of Maj Merrill and
Col. Morrow in many regards are diamet-
rically opposed, and yet, combining the
two and sitting them down to the facts, II
is not difficult to arrive at the true version
of the troubles of that State and their
cause. 1t is impossible to read the testi-
mony of either officer without arriving at
the conclusion that the cause of the trou-
bles, first, last and dl,odys, is the frdUdu-
lent election IN 1872. ,chich imposed the
KELLOGG Government on the State. and that
the President is justified in stamping it as
ga gigantic fraud" The burden of tes-
timony thus far goes to show that it has
held itself in power by fraud that
it has used the Returning Board as ma
chine to defeat the aOiH of the people; that II
has used its power in an oppressive man
ner; that it has neither the respect OF
whites nor support of the blacks; that il
is incapable of maintaining itself for q
single day without the presence and aid
of United States troops; and that no one
wants to see it maintained except Coz.
KELLOGG and has clique of carpetbdg office
holders tcho are iUing upon the people O
Louisiana. The remedy for such con
dition of the State is plain enough. II
remains to be seen whether the Republi.
can party in Congress has the wisdom &c
settle the question in the interests of jus
tice, regardless of partisan considerations,
and to restore the people of Louisiana t.
their rights by removing this ''gigdntio
| fraud"
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-02-25
A SIGNIFICANT ARTICLE.

We have copied elsewhere, second
hand, from the Pilot, which endorses it, a
significant manifesto of the Vicksburg
Plaindealer, the organ, par excellence OF
the eolored Republicans. In this article
it is charged
1st. That the obstacle to retrench-
ment in the Legislature "has been the
action of the colored members"
End. That the biennial session amend
ment to the constitution chung fire be
cause large majority of the colored
members of that body opposed it"
3rd. That this organized opposition
was the result of an agreement in ga
g caucus of colored members held at a
" certain boarding house in this city"
4th. 1t is more than intimated in this
article that the conduct of these ''eolored
members" was prompted, not by motive
to serve the public, but to secure pay for
themselves as members of the Legisla-
ture, though each ordinary session in
wolves cost, in one way and another to
the taxpayers of not less than 5000,
600.
5. The article states that nothing
q scarcely has yet been done, with which
g the Republicans can go before the peo-
+" pie next fall and ask them to sustain
9 the Republican party"
1t may be added that since the fore
going indictment was published in the
Plaindealer, the biennial session amend
ment has passed, the opposition having
come exclusively from the colored ele-
ment. A salary bill has also passed, but
there is danger of its emasculation by
supplemental acts destroying, in a great
measure, the effect it was designed to pro-
duce.
In a word, the session is well nigh
spent, great deal of money has been
wasted no bill has been passed reducing
the State tar; the taxing power of Boards
of Supervisors remains unlimited; no re-
lief has been afforded to the taxpayers
who have paid taxes on lands that have
been dropped from the assessment rolls,
hut on which they have paid taxes never
theless; the people have been denied the
right to pay their dues to the State in the
State own paper; Standing Army bill
which will impose an additional burden
of half a million dollars a year, and is de-
signed to organize strife in the State, has
been enacted, clothing the Governor with
autocratical powers.
The dominant party has not only ''done
" nothing on which it can ask the support
+" of the people," but has furnished the
strongest reasons why every good citizen
should sink all minor questions in the
supreme effort to terminate its rule in
this State.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-02-25
ANoTHER uNFORruNArE VETO.

The law prohibiting the payment of
State Taxes IN Auditors warrants, was a
quack expedient of financial thinkers, and
besides, was reputation of the worst
kind. 1t was a refusal by the State
TO receive her own paper for her own
dues.
It's authors pretended to think that it
would raise the value of warrants and
were so importunate in their clamor for
the bill, that We were prepared to see it
have fair trial
The result has been a complete falsifi-
cation of all their promises. The law
has been tried. The people have not
been permitted to pay their State taxes
in warrants. They have had to pay in
greenbacks or suffer the consequences of
delinquency. But State warrants have
remained at a heavy discount, while the
currency which was collected has been
gobbled up by the sharks who have laid
in wait at the doors of the Treasury.
Seeing that the law was failure, a
large majority of the Legislature passed
bill repeating it, and authorizing the
collection Of State taxes in warrants as
heretofore. This measure, the Governor
with his proclivity to go wrong, has
vetoed. We trust the Legislature VIII
pass it Notwithstanding. 1t would be a
sufficient reason for this advice to urge
that the present law has been tried, and
has utterly failed to accomplish what its
advocates promised. Among other
reasons why it should be passed over the
veto, are the following
1st. State warrants should be receiva
bic for taxes as measure Of relief Il
any payer can avail himself of the
depreciation in State paper to lessen the
burden of taxation, he should have the
privilege Of doing so. There is no reason
why he should pay his debt to the State
in currency, only to be drawn from the
Treasury by capitalists and spectators.
2nd Warrants cannot be made equal
to currency, while the whole amount is
sued is subject to the control of capital
lists, and the price of warrants fuctuates
according to their desire for percentage.
3rd The law as it now stands is pecu
iarly favorable 10 the specuIator and
against the class to whom the State is
indebted for public service, as well as tc
the taxpayers.
4th. Where the taxpayer pays in cur.
rency and the speculator draws it out on
the warrants he has purchased at % or sc
per cent. discount, the State has in lien
only its warrants The result would be
the same to the State were the Taxpayer
allowed to pay in warrants.
9Th. The true way to bring warrants tc
a par with currency is to reduce expen.
ditures to a limit with the States income.
This is the method which was successful
ly adopted in former days. For the
eleven years between 1850 and 1861,
Auditors warrants were paid in gold and
silver over the Treasury counter as soon
as drawn. 1t will be SO again, when the
State returns to the rule Of honesty and
| economy.

The Standing Army bill.

This scheme has passed both Houses.
Its object is to organize a race war, to
exasperate the whites, force them into
conflict with the blacks, and furnish a
pretext for the interference of federal
troops, with the double motive of main
tanning Radical ascendency in the State
and manufacturing capital for Radical
use in the Presidential election, at fear
full cost to the peace and treasure of a
people already worn down by long pro-
tracted and vexatious controversy and
intolerable tax levies. To execute this
system the reliance of its concoctors is
solely on the blacks. May we not hope
that taught by experience and the danger
of following false lights, they will refuse
either TO be dragooned, or enticed into
this execrable service?
