Hon. Green CIRy'S Graphic he.
scriPaiOu Of Radical FEnan.
ciering i'm Bolivar County,

The speech of Hon. Green Clay, of
Bolivar, on the Governors veto of the
! bill to limit the levy for the redemption
of the bonded debt of Bolivar county, is
richly worthy Of attention. 1t is a
miniature presentation Of the wickedEess
and Yillainy of carpet-bag rule, and the
wrongs TO which a towh-trOdden people
have been subjected. We are amazed
at the panorama Of thieves as one by one
they pass in review before the public eye
in the sketch Vigidly drawn by the
orator; and we feel a sense Of relief in
the fact that they are gone from our
gaze though the4 works will long live
after them.
The efunded debt is the product of
the swindling operations of these rascals.
With Shylock instinct, they demanded
the payment of the claim which they
had palmed upon the taxpayers, or the
pound of flesh nominated in the bond of
their own creation when they had control
of the Legislature. The present Legis-
lature came to their relief and passed
bill reducing the levy and extending
the time of payment. This bill-merci-
full in its provisions to the plundered
taxpayers and considerate of the
holders of the debt, who, in considera-
ton of its fraudulent character, might
have been indefinitely put off without
njustice-Ames, mindful of his brood OF
vampires, essayed to defeat with his little
veto. His action was so contemplate
so mapifestly impelled by the mean and
vindictive motive that has prompted all
his dealings with the people of the
States, was endorsed by but two votes,
out of the whole number, in the House
of Representatives The rebuke would
touch the sensibilities of ordinary mortals,
but there is no point sharp enough to
penetrate the hide of usurping carpet-bag

The Fifth District

Our excellent seashore contemporary,
the HandsborO Democrat, disapproves
the arrangement of the 9th congressional
district and asks why Claiborne and
Jefferson were not attached to it in place
of Kinds and Rankin. Claiborne anu
Jefferson would have given large pre-
nonderance to the radicals. We are
sure orr friends of the seashOre will like
us Of Kinds and Rankin better when as
ISOLATION in the same lahors and to the
same glorious end makes us better ac-
ouainted For ourselves we confess to
liking for our seashore region and It's
generous and patriotic people; and du-
ring all of our experience in Journalism
we have never lost an opportunity to as
sert its claims to recognition by the ma
tional and State authorities. The grand
] scheme of establishing our commercial
| ;ndar,e,fence by means of a railroad from
the capital to the seashore, has been a
favorite project with US. We hao
no agency in arranging the details OF the
/ =
Congressional Districts, but urged the
undoing of the infamous gerrymander
perpetrated by the Radicals. with Us
all other considerations were subordinate
to the one paramount end OF arranging
the Districts so as to give the Democrats
and Conservatives an equal chance Win
the Radicals; and this they have done IN
all except the River District, where the
advantages are with the wreckers. Ii
framing the fourth and fifth Districts
we understand desire prevailed among
the members to accommodate themselves
without sacrificing the main ohJect) L
the wishes of Messrs. Singleton ant
: Hooker, who asked not to be antago
r nized, as they had accepted their presen
, places at a sacrifice of private interests
and desired to be nominated for anothe
