JUDGE E. A. PEYToN retires from the
bench full of honors, the highest tribute
that can be paid to him is to say that he
was an incorruptible as well as a learned
judge. History with her iron pen will
describe him as the ilustrious Chief u.s.
tice who preferred the approval of his
own conscience in maintaining the con-
stitution and the laws to the patronage
of partisan executive, and the applause
of sycophants who buzz around the
throne of power.

The Vicksburg Herald is mistaken in
reporting Hon. j. B. Yellowley as OPP
posed to placing Yazoo county per Sc in
the 4th Congressional District. At the
beginning of the session, Mr.. YeIlowley
introduced Congressional apportionment
bill which placed Yazoo side by side
with Madison in that District. He OPP
posed the re-opening of the question after
Congressional apportionment bill had
passed both houses and had become
law.

The death of A. I. Stewart, the
merchant prince, will create profound
sensation in commercial circles. He was
the possessor of millions, but his death is
a yerifcation of the sentiment so well
expressed by the Latin poet. Pale
death comes alike to the mansion of the
rich and the howell of the poor.

1t is generally known that the nomina-
ton of this distinguished gentleman for
Judge of our Supreme Court was con-
sidered several days by the Senate before
he was confirmed.
We have reliable information that this
nomination chung fire" in the Senate, on
the sole and erclusiue ground that many
Senators believed that the Constitution
requires that the Judges should be sup
piled from the respective districts Judge
Campbell does not reside in the northern
district.
This Constitutional question was en-
barassing to many Senators. and was
discussed, at great length, in executive
session. That question being disposed
of, the nomination of Judge Campbell
was cheerfully and unanimously con-
frmed.
The appointee was acknowledged by
every Senator to be eminently fitted for
Judge of the Supreme Court in every
respect, i'll all the discussions by Sena-
tors,
Indeed, the Senators all agreed that
this nomination was a good one-that
Judge Campbell is a gentleman, possessed
of fine intellect, high honor, vast legal
learning, and man of strict honor and
integrity. We state the facts of this
matter in justice to the Governor, to the
Senate, and to the excellent gentleman
referred to.
The appointment satisfies all parties,
and We are glad to see so worthy an in
cumbent confirmed to the high position
Of Judge Of our Court of last resort.
HI. n. Chalmers. Supreme Judge
The appointment of Hon. H. H.
Chalmers to the Supreme Court bench
will secure to the tribunal of last resort
in our State the very highest measure o.
qualification and competency. Mr..
Chalmers success as a lawyer is without
Il precedent in our State; he came to the
bar about sixteen years ago-four years
of that period was during the war-im-
mediately afterwards he succeeded to
large practice, and by a single bound
came to the front rank of his profession.
He assumes the duties Of the high Office
with which he has been vested in the
very bloom Of life and his friends are
justified in the expectation that his past
success is but foreshadowing of what
his future will be.

The New York Herald in discussing
the Presidential situation says that the
only chance the Republicans have to win
rests upon the plumbers and possible
shortcomings of their opponents and
scarcely at all upon their own merits.
This, certainly, should not be much for
party to base its hopes on in a country
where patriotism and common sense
should be the cornerstone of all possible
national parties, and yet many good
cause has been lost by the short-sighted-
ness of the men to whom it was confded.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1876-04-19

THE Vicksburg Herald's solution of
the puzzle" will be found in another col
umn. We had been charitable enough
to suppose that higher motive than a
mere desire to bring the negroes to
their senses prompted Mr.. Musgrove
and other Republicans who aided in
achieving the White League victory !"
Gas the Mortonites call iO last year, but
who, since the election, without wait
ing for its fruits, have jumped to the
head of the Radical column without
formal good bye to their late Democratic
allies. Seeing that they have parted
company with their associates in that
wonderful victory, without assigning
single motive, or finding the least fault
with their administrative policy, we
are beginning to think that the Herald
is half right in its theory of the eccen-
tricities of the new Radical head-centres.
Now, the question is, do the colored
Republicans intend to be led In that
way? Do they intend to repay the de-
sertiOn of Musgrove and company from
their ranks to the " White Leaguers in
1875, by following their lead like obedient
spaniels in 1857 What says Carter2
What says Hill? What say all the col
ored Republican voters, who have con-
atituted four hundred and ninety-nine
out of every Eve hundred Republican
voters?
