EDITORS CLARION: 1t seems to be in or
der to suggest now the names of lawyers
who are worthy and well qualified to fill
the judicial offices; and without detracting
from the claims of any aspirant for the Of
flee of Chancellor in this District, L desire
to call attention TO the name of one lawyer
who has never sought any office, and who
never will, a lawyer, too, who is equal to
the dignity and spohsibility of the high
position of Chancellor-a man whose hon
esty and integrity are far above suspicion,
whose ability as lawyer will be confessed
by all who know him, and whose peculiar
character and bent of mind give him an es-
pecial qualification for judge. He is the
law partner of the gifted Barry, of the Sen
ate, and is well and favorably known by
the members of the House and Senate from
Prentiss. Lee, Monroe, Lowndcs, Oktibbe-
ha and Colfax, to whom | refer the Govern
or and Senate. Mr.. l.. Brame is Democrat
of the purest and best type, though he is no
partisan: he has done as much for his party
as any man in the State, considering his sit
uation AID pecuni..ry ability; and TO him,
as much as To any man in East Mississippi
are the people indebted for our success in
the late campaign. He closed his office
when the cam paign opened. and went out
INTO the canvas and work ed without ceas
lrg until the election was over. His friends
ask hat the office II Chancellor be confer
red upon him. not only cause he deserves
IL, nor alone because he is simply qualified
tor the office, but because he is prominent
iy qualified, and the country needs just such
man for that office. Unasked, and with
out his knowledge, [ respectfully ask Gov
ernor Stone to consider the name Of l..
Brame, Esq, of Colfax county, and if he
finds none more deserving or better qualfi-
ed than he that he nominate him for Chan
cellor for this District.

NazOO.

Referring to the special election for
County Treasurer, which resulted in the
choice of that staunch Democrat, Maj
Doherty, over several worthy and excel
lent competitors of the same faith-the
Yazoo City Democrat says:
The election last Saturday passed off
very peaceably. The freedmen took an
active interest in voting for their Demo-
cratic friends, and the word Radical, or
Republican, never entered the vocabulary
of single voter. In this county every
other party than the Democratic one, Is
as dead as Hector" and we intend, by
keeping our pledges made to the freed
men, that this state of affairs shall always
exist.

A VERY important law for the protec-
ton of the poorer classes, whose property
consists of few dollars worth of live
stock, has been enacted by the Legisla-
ture, declaring that any person stealing
the same of the value of from one to ten
dollars, is guilty of grand larceny and
shall be punished by Imprisonment in
the Penitentiary for term not exceed
ing five years.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1876-04-07

A CoLoRED Republican, from one of
the upper counties, called yesterday to
say that the representation in the Radical
State Convention from his county
was entirely bogus; that the pretended
delegates were self-appointed interlopers,
who, for official malfeasance aud other
causes, would not make their appearance
in the county; that the colored Republi-
cans emphaticaily repudiate the present
organization as a fraud and a snare that
the masses of the colored people intend to
hold themselves aloof from the self-con-
stituted leaders Of the Radical party, and
that there is strong disposition on the
part of the colOred masses to cooperate
and act in concert with the white people
of the State, whose interests they now
see, are Identical with theirs.
The conservative and strictly just and
impartial action of the present Legisla-
ture has dispelled the delusion that the
whites would deprive them of their rights
or interfere with their school privileges,
or otherwise discriminate against them
and has contributed largely to the deter
mination, whichis generally exhibited by
the colored race, not to be drawn again
by self-seeking, would-be leaders into bit
ter and bloody strife with the whites who
desire, and intend to have, an admins
tration of justice, honesty and intelli-
gence whose blessing, like the dews of
Heaven, will descend impartially upon
all.

The WesSOm Mills.

Col. Oliver, the Superintendent of the
Mississippi mills at Wesson, has tender
ed an invitation to the members of the
Legislature to visit the mills on the 18th,
or some other day that may suit them,
before the adjournment of that body.
We trust that the invitation will be ac-
cepted, and can promise the members
that the day will be pleasantly and profit
ably spent. The recreation, after the
toll which they have undergone, will be
pleasant, and it will be profitable for
them to inspect the mills, and see what
has been accomplished by Mississippi
capital and Mississippi energy and skill,
and what can be done in developing her
resources and diversifying her industries.
Ho, for the Mississippi mills. All aboard
for Wesson.

The asanae law.

We trust that the law which has been
enacted for the preservation of game will
put a stop to the prevalent vandalism Of
killing, or otherwise destroying wild game,
out of season. The attention of buck
sters, conservators of the peace, market
masters and transportation companies, as
well as hunters, is called to the provisions
of the law.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1876-04-07

A RABID partisan like the editor of
the Times, who takes selfish and iaun-
diced view of everything appertaining to
Mississippi affairs, and would see the
State again under carpet-bag and bayo-
net rule, would naturally regard as a
piece of impertinence a respectful rec
ognition by the Legislature, of the pro-
posed Senatorial investigation, and a
proffer of cooperation by that body, to
the end that the said inquiry may be
full, free and impartial This is just
what the vile crew who have been lord
ing it over the State, publishing SANDERS
against her resident white population
and attempting to manufacture partisan
capital to restore Radical rule, do not
desire. They would have the Legisla-
ture spurn the Committee-spit upon the
authority of the Senate-put itself on
its dignity-and let the Radical manipu-
lators introduce such perjured testimony
as they are capable of doing, and as
would suit their Infamous purposes.
And this is precisely what the Legisla-
tUre does not intend doing, unless We
egregiously mistake the intentions of
that body.

Our readers will no doubt he much
surprised to learn that ex-sheriff Harvey
is defaulter to the county. The fact
was not made known until the latter
part of last week. The amount of de-

The county, however, will lose nothing
by 1t, as his sureties are responsible men.

THE VETERANS or 1919.

The new Pension bill just passed by the
House, provides pensions of So a month
for officers and enlisted and drafted men
without regard to color, including mill
tia and volunteers who served for ten days
in the military or naval service in the War
Of 1872, and to their surviving widows who
have been married previous to 1850.
The widow of a pensioner who had died
without his name being restored to the
rolls is entitled to make claim for pension
under this act. This bill extending the
scope Of the law Of 1872 restores one hun.
dred and twenty pensioners to the roll, but
only at an unusual expense of $9,12O, be
cause arrearages accumulated during the
rebellion by those stricken from the rolls
are not allowed.

GIANTS POWER WANING

Circumstances surrounding President
Grant at present, completely obliterate
the enthusiastic feelings WHICH the mers
mention Of his r;se~ rs;smee~was once wont to
Arouse. 1t is said that the Presidents COT
tage at Long Branch is for sale. What his
cottage may bring in these stringent times,
is hard to predict, fer the prestige of his
name has departed, and what he has to
sell would not be estimated so highly as it
once would. His power to appoint Min
listers Plenepotentiary, Ministers ofState
and other dignitaries, is fast waning and
nore appreciate the fact more keenly than
the very men who once professed to wor-
ship him, There was time when Gran t's
Long Branch cottage would have brought
any sum he might have chosen to ask for
it, but that time has passed. Grants
power to put men in Office will soon cease
In lesa than year hence he will be a
private citizen, and the prestige of his
name will have departed forever. Sic

THR HAWAIIAN TREATY.

The Sandwich Islands Treaty Bill,
which has been for some time in allegiance
in consequence of the illness of Congress-
man Wood, was up in the House yester-
day. The Chief opposition to the bill
comes from an active lobby in the pay of
the American sugar interest. The treaty
was ratified by the Senate by large ma
jority after careful inquiry into its merits,
and it is to be hoped that the House will
pass the bill, having in its favor, as 1t
does the best brain and ability in the
House. In previous issue of the HER
AID we gave the import Of this bill and ad-
vocated its passage, giving our reasons
therefor. The only objection to the bill is
that the Federal Treasury would lose the
duty on its sugar, but the loss would be
more than balanced by the increased pros
perity Of the Pacific States, which would
lead TO larger consumption Of other du-
table articles. Every member Of Con-
gress from the Pacific States is warm and
earnest advocate Of the treaty, not only be-
cause it will give their constituents cheap
er sugar, but because it will open a new
and easily accessible market for their pro-
ductions, and would prevent Great Britain
from getting control of those Islands. 1t
will be most absurd in Congress to let
Great Britain get possession Of these ISL
ands, and secure the finest naval station on
the Pacific ocean, near enough to our
coast to be formidable basis of annoy.
ance.
This is the most important measure be-
fore the present Congress. We look upon
the consummation Of this treaty as being
a grand move toward laying the founda.
ton Of a permanent prosperity and the
attaining Of rights and exclusive privi.
leges, which will he most advantageous te
this country both in times of peace and
war. No treaty ever made by this country
contained SO many great advantages to the
United States as this one proposes, and a
failure on the part Of Democratic Con.
gress to consummate this great CONNER
clal bargain would be an objectionable
blunder.
