Last Friday Senator Graham resigned
his seat, having been appointed Chan
cellor. During the Legislatures of 1874
and 1873, when the representatives Of
the people were fighting against large
odds to protect the taxpayers of the State
from the Radical tax-eaters, as during
the present session, he was ever faith
full TO histrusts. In assuming the newdu-
ties devolved upon him, he carries with
him the best wishes and the full confidence
of the people of Mississippi, who know
him to be thorough lawyer, an accom-
plished legislator and an honest man.

The Senate bill entitled an act to re-
duce taxes, which was approved by the
Governor on Tuesday last, We doubt not,
had great deal to do with the increased
value of State paper. Its principle
features are as follows:
To refund the agricultural land scrip
fund in twenty years five per cent. bonds,
and sets apart the money in the Treasury
of that fund to support the Asylum and
Deaf and Dumb and Blind Institutions.
The $4,000 surplus bond fund now in
the Treasury is used to pay warrants at
fifty per cent. currency, and fifty per
cent. in bonds due in 1879, thus retir-
ing $4,000 in warrants.
1t reduces all future series of bonds
falling due in one year from $3.50, 900 to
$50, 900, thus preparing for reduction
from one to one and half mills bond
tax next year.
1t sells the United States bonds and
buys State bonds for the school fund,
thereby doubling the interest on account
of the difference in the value of Federal
and State bonds. 1t repeats the two
mill school tax and requires the distribu-
ton of liquor licenses, fines, forfeitures,
and land redemptions to counties for the
support of the schools providing, how
ever, that if the funds so distributed
shall be less than the two mill tax of
1875 the deficiency shall be made up
from the general fund
Lastly, the most important item TO the
taxpayers, it reduces the general tax
three and half mills making the entire
State tax six and half mills, against
nine and one-fourth last year-with an
absolute guarantee of further reduc-
ton next year.

THERE is to be a municipal election in
Chicago on tomorrow, which, we Judge
from the following extract from the
Times, will be very lively. The indica-
tons are that the taxpayers are deter
mined to drive out the scaliaWags, Ct all
hazards, yet we have heard no calls for
troops:
We trust that eastern illustrated pa
pers viii represent our changing bees"
and shooting matches" more truthfully
than they did our big fire. they have
bad sufficient notification to have their
Especial artists on the spot"
The members of the Humane society
object to the long and unnecessary post
ponement of hanging the South-town Of
fcials. They believe animals should be
slaughtered with dispatch, and not tor
mented for days before they are butch
cred.
In view of the prospective demand for
hemp in Chicago, that crop will be very
extensively cultivated in the west the
present season.
Hereafter that slaughter of soldiers
and civilians some sixty years ago will be
known as .''the first Chicago massacre

Hon. j. A. n. Campbell.

Aside from the local causes that en-
barrassed this gentIeman's confirmation
as Supreme Judge, all will admit his su-
perior qualifications for the Office. In
the prime and vigor of life, he is thor
ough lawyer, well trained in all the prin-
cipals of his profession man of mode
ration, but yet of frmness, with physi-
cal and mental capacity for any amount
of labor. He comes to the bench at pc
Rod when the services of a man of his
qualities are greatly needed in that au-
gust tribunal.

Judge Samuel Powell, of DeSOtO.

The Senate has confirmed the appoint
ment of Hon. Samuel Powell, of DeSoto,
as Circuit Judge of the 3rd District A
better appointment could not have been
made, and we are gratifed to learn that
it was confirmed by a unanimous vote.
Jealous in the discharge of every duty
devolved upon him, learned in his pro-
fession, the judicial etmine could not
have fallen upon shoulders more worthy
to support it.

Hon. oliver Clifton.

We must be pardoned if we indulge
in personal reference TO our immediate
Representative, Hon. Oliver Clifton.
He has been faithful and efficient, on
the floor and in committees, and has dis
played an ability almost equal to Speaker
Street as presiding officer. He has
been called frequently to the chair, and
his dignity, courtesy and impartiality,
and thorough familiarity with parlia-
mentary law, we'll qualify him for the
position.

PRESIDENT GRANT threw a bomb
among the religious societies when he
submitted, in his last annual message, a
proposition to tax church property. 1t
has drawn the fire of large number
of theologians as well as politicians.
Among the latter may be classed Ex-Gov.
Dix, of New York. He is terse and bitter,
and goes so far as to propose to ostracise
any person who attempts to levy taxes
on ''edifces devoted to the worship of
Almighty God"

Governor Stone has made most ad-
mirable selection in calling this gallant
and capable gentleman to the offices of
Private Secretary and Adjutant-Ge
Col, Falconer is peculiarly well qualified
for these important positions. He is
widely and most favorably known, and
his enviable reputation is not confined to
the limits of his own State. As Reading
Clerk of the House, he has won golden
opinions from all of its members.
