LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
SUPREME COURT OF MISSISSIPPI
Cases Decided Monday, March 20.
PREPARED FOR THE CLARION BY FRANK
JOHNSTON, ESQ.
.. Il. Nettles VS.. A. M. Walters
No. 1899.
Opinion Of the Court by SIMRALL, ca. J

OplnaoR OF the court 0g SlMRALL, III y.
This was proceeding By ha5eas corpus
on the part OF S. f. Nettles. TO obtain pos
session of his infant daughter, from her ma
ternal randparents, A. VI. Walters and wife.
The facts of the case are as follows: The
child was born In 1854, and her mother died
in d few hours after her birth, making, as
her last request, that the grandparents
should take the child and raise IL. Tie
father assented TO this. and agreed that they
should have the child as long as they lived
/ With the consent of the father, the grand
father was appointed guardian for the little
girl. The father married second wife, and
| had other children. The grandparents
We're able in every respect TO support and
educate the child properly; were devotedly
! attached to her and she to them. And she
| preferred To live with them instead OF with
her father. 1t was not shown that the iath-
er was an unfit person to have the custody
| and control OF the infant. But the proof
showed, in view of the circumstances of the
/ case that it was for the best interests of the
| child to remain with its grandparents. who
1 had taken care of her since the death of hel
mother. The Chancellor refused to give
the custody of the child to the petitioner
| Held:
L. The father has no absolute Uested right
! to the custody of the child. g Mason, 1872.
| He has, presumptively, the right to the Gus
! toby and nurture of his infant children, but
this is not an absolute right.
Ill. When it is sought by the father tC
take child from the family of another per
son. nearly related to the child, the Court
has right to consult the permanent vel
fare of the infant, aud frame its judgment
| in the light of all the circumstances OF the
| case.
/ III. The Court, in the exercise of a sounC
legal discretion, in a proper case, can refuse
to transfer TO the father the custody of al
Infant child: and in the case at bar, it doe.
not appear that this power has been un.
wisely exercised. affirmed.

The following queer communication
is published in the Times. Wouldn't il
be we'll for the Legislative Committee to
have Smith hunted up by detective
and brought back, in order that he NAV
tell all about it:
1t is well known fact that repeated
efforts have been made by parties to OBJ
tain possession of the funds of Alexander
Smith, the pardoned convict, which have
been in the hands of COL Noonan, so
far, without effect This fact will be es-
tablished before the investigation is COM
pleted. The balance of Smiths money
is held by Col. Noonan, and no shark
will ever be allowed TO get possession of
it.

AFTER all the pother of the Radical
wire-pullers, Gov. Ames declined to rec
ognize Davis withdrawal, and to usurp
the power to make an appointment in the
face of the Constitution, which requires
the Senate to choose "a President pro tenn,
in the absence or disability of the
Lieutenant Governor, and thus he
acted upon our Interpretation and not
the Times. Pity he had not been always
as prudent. aee.se sssaaaaa

LOST OPPORTUNITIES.
Just before placing our forms on the
press, we are advised that nothwitbstand-
ing the plain and peremptory mandate 81
the law, and in utter disregard of the req
concentrations and earnest appeals of nrom-
lneht Republicans from all sections of the
State, His Excellency, Governor Ames. has
tailed to fill the vacancy in the office ot
Lientenant-Governor, occasioned by the
resignation of A. X. Davis, and that he has
permitted the act of the Legislature de-
priving the Executive of the power TO fill
such vacancies to become law bv Iimita-
ton.
we are at a loss to determine bv what
motives the Governor was actuated in re-
fusing TO perform plain duty imperatiyelv
enjoined upon him by law, but we do know
tnat Dy ms failure to act he has given of
tense to the great body of Republicans xsbo
with rare unanimity were in favor 90 o.,
appointment being made.
And much more of that sort of stnf4
Inc Times ought to have said that his
Exoeiiency's failure to usurp the power
Claimed tor him, had given mortal offense

In another paragraph, the same paner
lntlmates that the Governor has v;olatea
