The Judgment Upon Spencer.

1t is a severe judgment which the
Spencer clan in Alabama have brought
down on themselves. The revelation of
their rascalities has put lash in every
honest hand from one end of the
country to the other, to scourge them
with. The New York Times, the ablest
Republican paper in the Union, has this
to say about them
"From Alabama we have disgraceful
story of the bribery, corruption, and in
timidation, alleged to have been used in
securing Spencer's election to the United
States Senate. The evidence now in the
hands of the Legislative Committee shows
that some of the members were bribed,
that one was drugged, and that arrests
were made In certain districts by United
States authorities for the purpose of adj
vancing the interests of Spencer. Solar,
the testimony, which is simply amazing,
is not contradicted, but is said to be Gu
mulative. Ii not effectively assailed, it
will prove conclusive as to the utter rot
tenness of politics in Alabama"
This is we'll said, but Alabama is not
the only State in which the Spencer tao
tics have been tried by adventures
of his class. They have been displayed
as conspicuously in Mississippi by Ames,
who is at this moment employing the
patronage, which has been created to his
hand, for buying up supporters in all
parts of the State, in order that he may
step from the Executive chair into the
United States Senate for six years. The
worst of it is, partisan majority in Con
gress have aided and abetted these
schemes When Ames was first admitted
into the Senate it was upon certificate
signed by himself as military Governor,
which bore upon its own face evidence of
fraud and corruption.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-05-26
AMEs AND sPErCER.

The counterpart Of the Ames pro-
gramme for carrying the Mississippi cleo
tons and rejoicing himself to the U.
5. Senate, is furnished in the viIlainies of
which that 6rst-class scoundrel, Spencer,
was the author in Alabama.
Spencer, it will be seen, counted large
ly on the employment of force, under the
lying pretense that it was necessary to
protect the Republican voters in the ex-
ercise of their rights
Ames has been playing the same
game. lie is an expert in that branch
of the business, having once elected him
self to the Senate in that way. His call
for federal troops, last fall, is fresh in the
mind Of the public. When the Legisla-
ture met he endeavored to pave the way
for collisions between the whites and
blacks and the introduction Of the T.
S. military in the quarrel, by the various
schemes Of which he and his servile tools
were the originators.
The Metropolitan Police scheme was a
part of the plot. The Standing Army
Calling Gun bill was another feature Of
the game The former failed. The lat
ter was adopted and he is organizing the
diabolical machinery which is designed
to be put into motion. The whites are
to be disarmed, and negro com
panies, trained by clansmen Of Ames,
are to constitute the State Militia. 1t is
not anticipated nor desired by the plot
tiers that a collision between the race;
will be avoided 1t is what they are
aiming at, in order to make a pretext
for procuring the service of United
States troops, just as Spencer procured
them in Alabama, only Ames has laid
his plans deeper and gone about his work
more Systematically.
! Spencer played bold hand in secur-
ing tools to do his work by promises Of
office. Ames has been industrious and
INSCRIPTIONS in providing places for his
tools. He has attempted to interfere
with and to debauch and corrupt the jul
dietary, and at the last session of the
Legislature he procured the passage Of
the infamous bill to take from the people
of the counties the election of taX-cOl
lectors, and secure the appointment il
his own hands. This corruption meas
ure is wide-spreading in its influence
1t will reach every county. No doubt
the Supreme Court will declare it uncon
stitutional and nugatory; but it never
theless reveals the intention of its orig
inator, and exhibits his purpose to in
crease his patronage and enlarge his
agencies of bribery and corruption.
Ames and Spencer are twin brothers
in political knavery. They are of the
same class of disreputable and unscrupu
lous adventures. The game each has
played runs in parallel lines. Spencer
has victimized Alabama, but his day is
over. 1t remains to be seen how long
Mississippi is to be inflicted with Ames.

We are willing to give S.. j. ireland
the benefit of the statement of Repub-
lican cotemporary that he has turned over
$18, 900 Cor is it $40, 000?) of the Alcorn
University Fund to banking house for
safe keeping, and that everything is per-
fectly placid and lovely with that ex-
functionary. Still there are mysteries
hanging over the matter that do not yet
satisfy a prying public. Ireland testified
to the Legislative Committee in Febru-
airy, that he held $35, 900 of the fund
at that time. BY what amazing process
has it dwindled to nearly one-half the
amount?
We are perfectly assured that the
amount, whatever it is, is as safe in the
custody of Messrs. Green as it could posi-
bly, be in the Treasury, if not rather
more so; but the plea that it has been
deposited for safe keeping until it can be
determined who is the proper custodian
of the funds, is simply humbug. The
law which the Legislature passed in
March, and which has been promulged
in the official gazette, relating to the dis
position of the fund, is as plain as the
way to market 1t is in these words.
Can anybody, with two grains Ct sense,
misunderstood it?

DeusIs o.: Hon. .BohE4 Waits

Departed this life at his home in New
ton, on the Goth inst, Hon. John Watts.
1t had bee n his good lot TO measure out
the full number Of days allotted TO hui
man existence by the Psalmist-three
score wears and ten and he has left be-
hind him a record upon which man, ut
its close, may look with a consciousness
of having dcne his duty-a record adOrn-
ed on every page with honest and faith
full performance of The duties which pri-
vate life and public Office devolved upon
him.
In his early life he was District At
torney subse quently, for long series of
years, he filled the Office of Circuit
Judge, and the "Roman Senate in its
Fqbrican state" could not have shown a
loftier specimen Of uprightness, and an
integrity freer from the bias OF self and
the shackles OF prejudice.
His last public duty was a term Of SER
vice in the State Senate, in which capac
ity he manifested the same sense of obi
CATION to his God and his conscience that
he had displayed on other theatres of
action.
During all this time he was a Chris
tian in the strictest sense, and often
turned ~aside from his public duties to
labor in the service Of his Master.
In all the relations of life he was ex-
cellent, indulgent, generous and devoted
in his attachments. With no particle of
malice in his nature, he delighted to
make others happy; and his very pres
ence was sunshine and JOY to all about
him. He was never weary in any kind
Of well-doing; and now as we stand by
his newly made grave and contemplate
his long career and study the beautiful
traits of his character, we can exclaim
in truth

Two-thirds Of the voters of Arkansas
are whites. The control of the State is
entirely in the hands Of the Conserya-
tives and impartial correspondents from
Northern States have published in the
journals they represent, after careful In
vestigation, that kindness and good feel
ing between the races, have taken the
place of the bitterness and strife which ae-
companied the misrule of the carpet bag
gers. And it is not the peace which
follows the obedient submission OF one
race to the arbitrary domination of the
other. The negroes have awakened from
the delusion into which they were thrown
~ the cunning adventures, as TO the feel
ing of the whites towards them, and have
been surprised to find that their
rights as citizens, entitled TO privileges
and opportunities in the government of
which they are part, are more respected
than they have been since their emanci-
patton. On this subject, the Gazette,
the leading paper at Little Rock, says;
"Arkansas has in office to-day under
| her new government more cOlored men
| than were in office under the admin
istration Of either Governors Clayton,
Hadley or Baxter; that she has a civil
rights law on her statute books as com
plete as the one originally introduced in
the United States Senate by his former col
league, the late Senator Sumner; that We
have also the severest statute ofany ofthe
Southern States for the punishment Of
ku-klux, so-called; that both these laws
were enacted several years ago, and
have been rigidly enforced by the present
government that both races, and the
men of all politics and nativity are on
the most friendly terms, and that peace,
quiet and contentment prevail throughout
our borders"

The Color Line.

Some surprise has been expressed at
the tenor of frequent articles in THE
CLARION of late on the color line. Our
position remains unchanged--that the
Democrats and Conservatives of Missis
sippi, in whatever platform they adopt,
should keep themselves strictly aligned
with their political friends of other
States, and should not be betrayed into
any expression Of hostility to the equal
rights of any class or race rs now es-
tablished by the organic law of the
land. But this position is by no means
inconsistent with determination of the
whites to act in self-defense when the
race line is drawn against them by the
negro leaders, as it has been repeatedly
done in this State, and especially in al
most every instance during the late SEES
sion OF the Legislature.
We are opposed to the color line as an
original proposition. We never would
have started it. We have attempted to
prevent it from being drawn. We are
in favor of the equal rights of all men,
regardless of previous condition, color,
etc. But it the negro leaders have
drawn the conclusion that we intend to
hold the white people and the tax-pay-
ers, while they do the SHINING, they are
very much mistaken. We wouldn't if
we could we couldn't if we would.
