presents his argument for tho locality with
an abundance Of geographical detail and S:rptural

The CnrdOzO ImvesuigntiOn.

For the information of the Committee
charged with this investigation, we have
reproduced the following from the Vicks-
burg Times Republican,.
We have good reasons for believing
that if the Legislative Committee APP
pointed 10 investigate the conduct of the
Superintendent of Education, desire to
get at the truth of the matter, they should
summon before them the following named
gentlemen
Timothy Maroney, agent for Messrs.
Ivirson, Brakeman, Taylor q Co; A. III.
Wilkins, agent for Barnes & Co.; w. P.
Rogers, agent for Harper & Bros. and
Samuel Mecutchon, agent for Lippin-
colt Il Co.
IF Mr.. Superintendent Cardozo did
not make corrupt propositions to one or
all of the gentlemen named, he has been
grossly slandered, and thorough inves-
tigation is due, not only to the public,
but to the high official whose integrity
has been called in question.
If we mistake not, Senators Campbell
and Price, and Mr.. Kelley, Superintend.
ent of Education for Grenada county,
have already received information, which,
if impaired to the Committee, would aid
them in their investigation.
Will the Committee do their duty, anC
summon the witnesses named7

Concerning the Crosby Bond
Business.

Promising that our state ment was a
repetition of what appeared in the
Herald, we have copied from that journal
the following additional explanation of the
matter:
The CLARION is not entirely accurate
IN its statement. Crosby did make bond
as Sheriff, in the sum Of twenty thousand
dollars. This bond, as we have already
stated, is not worth the paper on which
it was written, but the Board of Super
visors accepted it nevertheless Crosby
is still without a bond as collector of
taxes, and proposition having been
made by him to turn over the office of
Sheriff and Tax-Collector to a certain
party who would agree to make two salts
factory bonds for him, that proposition
was first considered and finally accepted.
A bond was made in the interest of well
known gentleman who had reluctantly
given his assent to the proposed arrange
ment but before the parties signing
the bond had qualified in accordance with
law, the whole thing was abandoned.
The impression prevails almost universally
among our people, that, in consequence of
the infamous character and conduct Of Pc
ter Crosby, no one ought to go on his bond;
and that because of his well known false
hood and knavery no living man can trust
him for FIVE consecutive minutes. This
being the general opinion of Crosby, and
the propr;ety of making bond for him
at all, tho gentleman most interested in
the matter determined to let the COM
promise, so-called, fall through long before
it had reached completion.

with the genuine ring of fidelity to the

the United States with the organization
OF Stare Legislature, or any of its pro-
ceedlngs, Is repugnant to our ideas of
government" The President goes on to
say, 81 can conceive of no case, not in
volving rebellion or instruction, where
such interference by the military authori-
ty of the general government ought to be
permitted, or can be justified" There was
neither rebellion nor insurrection in Lou

Presidents own admissions, for fedeTD

THE JACKSON CLARION is seeking in
formation under rather perplexing diff
culties. 1t is seeking information in re-
gard to one "W Stanley" who writes
to the Chicago Inter Ocean that he has
been ''robbed and murderer in Missis-
sippi! As Mr.. Stanley's disembodied
spirit-the man being dead his spirit is
disembodied as matter of course-pro-
claims that he was murdered in this
State, we suppose we must accept his
testimony as conclusive. We never
CHANGED to hear of the circumstance
before, however, and we feel perfectly
safe in declaring that we never had the
happiness to meet Mr. Stanley in the
flesh; and as he has become perturbed
spirit, engaged in writing letters to the
public journals, and wandering about O
nights, in emulation of that other ghost,
the shade of the royal Daen, who revis-
tied the glimpscs of the moon to tell his son
Hamlet of the ''deep damnation of his
taking off, we shall decline to interview
Mr.. W. Stanley, unless, perchance, he
should appear before us in the material
lied form of that spiritualistic medium,
the gentle and fascinating Katie King
Vicksburg Herald.
We have been patiently awaiting an
explanation of the mystery by the Pilot,
which seems to have placed full faith in
the remarkable story of the murdered
Stanley, but have awaited in vain.
