progress and prosperity of the com
m ai.ity in which we live.

a resolution was introduced in
the Lower House of our Legisla-
tu"e last Monday, fixing the day of
adjournment for the first Monday
in February. We hardly think it
will be possible for our rcprescn-
tativcs 10 get through with much
business OF importance yet unfin-
ishcd and that is yet 10 como be-
fore them. We think, however,
that il the members would begin
their daily sessions an hour earlier
aud continue them IN hour or so
later, they would economist much
valuable time that is now spent in
idlcness. Thus far much time has
been taken on small matters, mat
tiers that are of very little public
importance. Our people are impa-
tIcntly. looking for the passage Of
some act looking to a reduction OF
taxes. We are all interested in
this, we must have relief in this di-
rection, and if our Legislature adj
journs without doing something
that will afford the taxpayers re-
lief from onerous taxation, the peo-
pie will be sadly disappointed. All
hearts arc anxiousIy waiting for the
gladstone news that their burthens
have been l;ghtened, and while
they may rejoice 10 hear that Ames,
Davis and CORDOBA have been inn
pcached it will be source of re-
greet to them, if some act is not done
that promises something more pro
fitable. Ii s @qaa .lsssa.f

Elsewhere, Will be found call
for a meeting of the Demo-
cratic Conservative Club of the
city OF Canton for Tuesday night,
Feby LIST. We hope that the
lmeeting will be largely attended.
1t is all important that the good old
Democratic fires should be kept
alive in our hearts. We must keep
up our organization if we would
'lnpe to be successful in the future.
Let US not lapse into state of in
difference and unconcern, for while
we sleep the enemy will not cease
to work. Ne owe 1T TO ourselves
and to our county and state to be
wide awake at all times. Let us do it.

If the memory of George Wash
;ington is respected, if such a man
over existed, and ever expressed
the opinion that it was dangerous
to our system of government to
honor man with mora than two
terms in the presidential office if
the aforesaid George ". deserved
TO be called the "father Of his coun-
ny;" and if that country is this
Union of States that commentaries
its one hundreth birthday this
year of our Lord, then Mr.. Grant
will never be President for third
time. But, if the illustrous George
is myth, and our nations paterni-
ty only romance, and the Centen-
NAL a humbug. we may expect to
see Grant in the presidential chair
for the balance OF his days.

CORRESPONDENCE.
JACKSON, Mississippi, /
Jan. Goth, 1876.


E. l.. Ross, EDITOR CANTON MAIL:
Dear Sir: Your unmerited at
tack upon me in the last issue of
your journal was, under the circum-
stances, rather surprising; it was
something L was not expecting.
Knowing, as you do, my position
in this matter; knowing, as you do
from my conversation with your
self, that ] earnestly soughtin every
way possible to learn the prevailing
sentiment among the citizens of
Canton in reference to the charter !;
knowing, as you do from my state
ment to yourself, that in a family
quarrel Gf there was one) of the
citizens of Canton concerning a
matter in which l have no direct in
dividual interest l do not wish to
champion either side, all being alike
my friends and constituents. 1 must
in justice to myself pronounce your
49,
assault unwarranted and unjust,
1t has been, and shall continue to
be, my greatest desire as member
of the Legislature to serve my con-
stituents truly and faithfully, and if
in my career. here / can be of some
material, substantial service to them
my aspirations Will be in the high
est degree gratified. ~ sai s.sii
As for. the charter which has SO
excited your ire, allow me to say,
| did not interest myself in it until
1 had received from those who So
licited me TO take charge of it, as
surances that, with but one or two
exceptions, there was no. an oppo-
nent of the charter in Canton
And now, sir, let me express the
hope, that in your article above al
luded to, you do not intend to in
sinuate, or create the. impression
upon the mind of any one in or out
of Canton that L would intentIonaI-
Iy lend assistance to any ring or
other combination seeking the det
riment of my constituents, or that |
would wilfully seek to foist upon
the citizens of Canton a charter
which I knew to be obnoxious
and distasteful to them. If it was
your intention to cast such an in
sinuatIsn, or to create such an inn
preston, then you shall hear from
me again. am sir,
Yours very truly,
j. B. YELLowLY.
2. s. In Justice to myself I ask
that you give publication to this
note. j. B. Y.
