Too Late.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Davis (attempt
ted resignation is too late He can
not take himself out of the juris
diction of the Senate, and deprive
1T of its constitutional prerogative
to pass sentence upon his acts. He has
been tried in obedience to the supreme
law, and having been found guilty, rests
under a disability that deprives him of
the power of performing any official act,
whether to affix his signature to a bill
which might pass the Senate, or to pa
per rendering his resignation.
Nor can Governor Ames render the
resignation of the Lieutenant-G
valid by accepting it while in this posi-
ton, though he could render himself amen
able to the charge, and liable tor the conse-
q'tences, of connici',g at the escape of a cm-
p'It from, the punishment prescribed by
the Constitution after he had been pro-
nounced guilty by nearly unanimous
vote of the Senate, including majority
of his own party.
Too late! The dodge won't win. As
in duty bound, the Senate will pursue
the even tenor of its way:
JACKSON, March Is, 1876.
10 the People Of Mississippi:
For reasons which are obvious. Il here
by resign the office of Lieutenant-Goyar-l
nor of the State. To the members of the
Republican party, and all others who
honored me with their votes in 1873, L
return my sincere thanks, aud can only
regret that was unable, before Court /
OF impeachment, to prove, as was re-
CURED to do, that was innocent of the
charges preferred against me. In de-
fault of this, avail myself of the mower
which the Constitution and laws give me.
and return the Office to your hands.
Very Respectfully,
A. K. DAVIS.

THE CL REON.
s. The First TO Expose, Id has Pur-
sued Offenders to- the Bar of
Justice"

Summit Sentlnel.l
Since the Inauguration of the political
campaign, last Fall, which resulted in
such a complete victory, up to the present
time, the people of Mississippi are
largely indebted to that fearless paper,
THE CLARION, for its invaluable aid in
exposing corruption and bringing guilty
parties to punishment. Long after the
present impeachment excitement shall
have subsidized, the name Of THE CLARION
will continue to awaken responsive
echoes of gratitude in the hearts of all
true Mis>issippians.
Among the first to accuse, it has
maintained its accusations with convinc-
ing proofs the first to expose it has
pursued offenders to the bar of Justice,
and procured the penalty for their mis-
doings. May it long live aud prosper.

Mr.. Tucker, of Chickasaw, in introduc
ing the resolutions in the House to in
vestigate the charges against Mr. Par
sons, of Adams, stated in substance as
follows:
That on Saturday last, ore Alexander
Smith. who had been convicted and sem
fenced for life for outraging a girl of ten
| years of age, in Chickasaw county, had been
pardOned out of the Penitentiary. That
Smith had no friends in Chickasaw county.
and bad resided therebut a few weeks
prior to committing the offense That
he had inherited about $3.50 90 from
deceased relatives in Germany, since
conviction. which amounthad been sent
him through Green's bank and drawn by
Col. NOOnan, superintendent of the
Penitentiary. That the pardon had been
issued through the exertions of Fred.
Parsons, member of the House,
from Adams county. That a petition
signed by Parsons, Hussey. Jacobs
Noonan and others, none of them being cit
liens of Chickasaw, but all from South and
| west Mississippi, setting forth that the case
was merltOrlouS one had been presented
to The Governor That there was also a
letter with II G papers, from Parsons to the
Governor, saying that he (Parsons) had
been informed by citizen of Chickasaw
that the person outraged was a lewd wo-
man, and that he (Mr. Tucker) had made a
statement to Mr.. Parsons to the same effect.
Mr. Tucker did not know who the citizen
referred to was but the statement as TO
+ Jim was false, The statement made bv him
OF the case to Mr.. Parsons, when asked about
IT, was exactly the reverse; that he did not
know at the time that Parsons was i'm the
pardonlng business; that on SATURDAY. even
ing. so far as he could learn, Parsons and
Packer went to the Penitentiary, had con-
sultatlon with Smith and gave him the par
don and a ticket to Cincinnati and at about
twenty minutes to five O'Clock (the north
ern bound train leaves at five o'clock).
smith was released and went on his way
rejoicing; that while it was customary to let
the foreman of the prison shops leave tile
Penitentiary at 80 O'clock, when the
prisoners are put in the prison building
upon this evening, they were kept inside
the walls until after O'Clock. That Col
Noonan had made two different statements
to the Penitentiary Committee before
which an Informal examination had already
begun: first, that all of the So $50 had been
paid TO Smith in one hundred dollar bills.
except $500 which was paid to Parsons
and some other small amounts for incident

The House will have to amend the arti-
cles impeaching Gov. Ames The pardon
of the convict Alexander Smith, sentenced
a short time ago for life, for a shocking
crime which deserved hanging on the spot,
was an outrageous abuse OF power, and
smells loudly of corruption. The facts of
his conviction are recited in the resolu
tons of inquiry introduced by General
Tucker, into the conduct of Mr.
Parsons, of the House, who is charged
with having received pay for his agency
in procuring the pardon. The petition
on which the depraved wretch was
pardoned was signed, not by the people
where his crime was committed, but by a
few persons to whom he was a stranger,
residing two hundred miles away from
the scene of the outrage. Having fallen
heir to several thousand dollars recently,
the presumption is strong that he bought
his way out of the penitentiary. An
investigation will probably reveal the
prime agents in the dirty affair, but it
requires no investigation to establish that
the party responsible above all others for
turning him loose, is Adelbert Ames.
The result of the inquiry into this
shameful transaction will be looked to
with intense anxiety.

Col. Byrd, of Franklin, has introduced
q bill in the House, which upon every
consideration of reason and justice,
ought to be passed without delay. 1t is
to repeal the act of April 9th, 1874,
i" Incorporating the Homochitto and Old
River Navigation, Levee and Lumber
Company" The said act is of the same
brood of the Pearl River Navigation
swindle. The incorporators are for the
most part citizens of New York, Ohio and
remote communities. 1t donates large
quantity of valuable lands upon condi-
ton of the opening of the HornOchitto
river to navigation and the reclamation
of oVerfowed lands in the valley OF
that stream. The condition has not
been complied with and cannot be, even
if the beneficiaries of the charter intended
in good faith to perform the work which
they have not attempted to do. They
have marketed large quantity of in
valuable cypress timber from the land
and have driven a lucrative business at
the cost of the State Col Byrd's bill
proposes to repeal the law and provides
that the lands shall be sold and the
proceeds devoted to the common school
fund, A measure so unquestionably just
and timely ought to be passed without a
moments hesitation. r
