too preposterous for discussion. Even II

Rerundins she Co,.on Tax

The Times puts it too strong when It
speaks of The CLARIox's violent OPpo-
sition" to the refundibg of the cotton tax.
We are confident that the tax was un-
constitutional and an uni lst discrimlna-
ton against the South, and that it orig
mated in the malice and rapacity of her
Northern oppressors who scruPled at no
measure, however extreme, to crafty
their malignant passions upon defense
less people But we are convinced that
an effort to procure the return of the
money, would open the h1od-g4tes of
sectional agitation. We did not adj
vocate the reconstruction plan. 1t was
unjust and vindictive; but it did not fol-
low that we would keep up a never end
ing agitation to rescind it after it had
once been resolved upon by those who
had the power to enforce it. 1t is often
times better to bear the ills we have
than fly to those we know not of. We
are convinced that whenever the South
ern people ask indemnity for the past, it
will be a signal for unleashing the dogs
Of war and turning loose sectional pas
sion to prevent the restoration OF peace
between the North and the South. RAJ
wing fanatics, like Wendell Phillips, and
cold blooded demagogues, like Morton
and Blaine, want no better pabulum for
feeding the angry prejudices upon which
such creatures as themselves live and
thrive. Therefore we have said, let the
dead past bury its dead. Our hopes are
not in the graves Of settled issues. They
are in the living present and the future,
with its glorious promises.
So far as the cotton tax is concerned,
the member of The CLARION firm, TO
whom the Times refers by name, suffered
as much personally in proportion to his
ability to bear, as others: but his oppo-
sition to the renewal of agitation to re-
fund rises superior to personal motives
and to his sense Of its hAgrAnt injustice.
1t is founded upon considerations of
high public policy. Nevertheless, if Mr..
Hayes will recommend the refunding of
the tax, and if the Northern Radical
leaders, stung with remOrse for the
wrongs they have heaped upon the South
ern people, will give their assurance
that they will discontinue their opposi-
ton, and support the measure, and there
by preclude the possibility of a renewal
of an agitation which is fatal to the vel
fare of both sections, We will consider
our objections cancelled, and urge the
Southern Senators and Representatives,
to vote for the measure.

DIR. G.. NJ. Walden.

EDS. CLARION Who is to b. our next
Governor? is a question already agitated in
the different plrties in the State, and the
subject will doubtless Increase in interest as
the day fixed for the assembling of the
State Convention appro aches. Your CORES
pendent Justice, in your issue of April Is,
says: "AmOng all those who have mention
ed as suitable candidates for Governor, l
have looked in vain for the nan : or sor,o
representative agricuituraist f" And asks
"Why : enis?" Nov, there will certainly
be no intentional disregard of the rights of
~ one, and just the demand of so large a
class of our fellow-ctizens will undoubtedly
be ACCORDED IL reoOgnition in the discribn-
zion of offices. If the selection for the Office
of Governor is t. be made from their ranks.
the friends of DIR. c. NJ. Walden, of Carroll
county, will urge him to become a candi-
date for the position. DR.. Walden is too
well AMI favorably known to require at
this date an introduction to the people O
his adopted State. Closely identifi I'd for
the last thirty years, with nearly all the
great enterprises that have contributed TO
the development of the material resources
of Mississippi, his philanthropy, liberality
and patriotism have won for him an enyia-
BILE place In the regards of his fellow-citi-
zens.
A planter from choice, his marked success
in the management OF his farming interests,
bears convincing evidence of his thorough
scientific AMI practical training in the avo-
cation of his life, and render him fully cog
infant of the wants and dema OF our az
ricultural communities. Though no politi-
clan, and never 'seeker" for office, he has
twice represented his county in the Legisla-
ture, serving each time with distinction,
and in the Legislature of 1876, though en-
ervated by disease, and with physical sys-
tenn greatly Frustrated by the arduous la
bors Of the previous campaign, he discharg-
ed fully the duties allotted to him to him In
the great work of that ever-to- he-remem-
beEed body, and Is entitled to a full share of
its homo
financier of unquestiOned ability, his
cool judgment and practical skill, would
prove invaluable in the preparation and ex-
ecution of all plans for the reeuperation and
i'm provement of the future Of our State, the
chosen task Of statesmen, while his tireIess !
energy, great administrative capacity, and
incompatible integrity, eminently fit him
for this the highest position wifhlr the peo-
ple,s gift.

Condemned by shefr own A6mis-
siOas

Judge Matthews, Senator reject from
Ohio and confidential counsellor of Mr..
Hayes, writes to citizen of Louisiana as
follows:
Falling a legislative adjustment, think
the best aud only means to settle the Louis
lana difficulty Is to conf form to the wishes
OF the maj trity Of the people anI those rep
resenting the larger portion OF the business

ni5io1 at Nichols as Governor, de Jacto and
de Jure.
This is all right Its the true doctrine.
But the thought suggested is why if it is
right ito conform to the wishes of the
majority of the people" and give the State
to Gov. Nichols (about which there
ought never to have been dispute) why
not have applied the same rule in the
Presidential election and counted the
State for Mr.. TiIden whose majority was
even larger than Gov. Nichols? Thus
are the participants in the gigantic fraud
upon the people perplexed at every step
they take With admissions and proof of
their crime.

what Congress Ought 40 do I'm
Reference 40 the Army APP
prOPria IiOn.

The Republican leaders are responsible
for the additional expense of All extra
session of Congress. But for the refusal
of the Senate to pass the appropriation
bill with the clause prohibiting the use OF
the army. to hold the Southern States in
subsection to pretended governments as
sorting authority in defiance of the will
of the majority of the people, there would
have been no reason for calling an extra
session. The Republican leaders pretend
to have respect for the demand Of the
country as expressed by the election of
Mr.. TiIden that the army shall not be
employed for this unconstitutional pur-
pose, but when put to the test, they re-
fused to make good their professions.
When the new Congress assemblies,
its duty will be to append to the army
appropriation bill proviso declaring
that no part of the money appropriated
shall be used in any way whatever for the
subsistence or transportation Of troops
to be Employed within tho limits Of any
State to support the claims of any State
government or officer thereof ; or upon
the call of any body assuming to be
Legislature, or any person assuming toI
be State Executive, unless such body
or pe.soa shall have been previously rec
ognzed by both houses of Congress.
1t is evident that there will be induce
ments held out to prevent such action
The Republican schemers are adopts in
blowing hot and cold. They can roar
like lions, or coo like doves, as it
may suit their aims; and in this instance
it is more than probable that the parti-
zans of the Hayes Administration, the
Matthews, Fosters, ct i'll 0nlue, will re-
sort to the old game Of fair promises by
which they induced the Democrats to pro
ce2d with the count under the High Com
mission Fraud that they will claim that
the millennium has come, the era of good
feeling restored, and the lion and the
lamb are in loving embrace-but none of
the plausible professions will be listened
to if the present Congress is not oblivious
to the disgraceful cheat that was prac-
tised upon its predecessor in the installa-
eff a person into the Presidential office
who had been rejected by the people.
Though the wrong caEnGt be fully re-
paired, much can be done in that way
by attaching the proviso as suggested to
the appropriation bill, It is certain
that before the meeting Of Congress the
Nichols administration will have full
control in Louisiana as Hampton has in
South Carolina, but in both States the
troops viii still be keeping watch and
held in readiness to L.eal the truce when
ever it accords with the plans of the dem
agogues who have Mr. Hayes in their
keeping.

Mr.. RANDOLPH TUCKER, of Virginia,
is credited with the remark that the poll
cy which Mr.. Hayes declares and which
he is grudgingly executing like a sullen
boy creeping unwillingly to school under
compulsion els simply the policy of the
" Democratic party which President
g Hayes has been forced to adopt because
" the majority of the American people
" demand it. The majority of the Amer
" lean people elected Mr.. Tilden to the
" Presidency because they meant this
" policy to be adopted. Mr.. Hayes has
e been thimblerigged into Mr.. Tilden's
place, but he has sense enough to know
:" that he will not be permitted to carry
+" out any policy save that which Mr.
" Tilden was elected TO represent and
" execute"

Governor Yamce's Views.

A letter is on its rounds from Gov
Vance, of North Carolina, on the situa-
ton, anil the relation which the Demo
cratic party should hold to the Hayes Adj
ministration. He says:
Briefly and simply, then: In everything
except the mere forms of law. | regard MIR.
HAYES as a uSurp2r. BY maintaining arm ed
Intervention in States recently declared by
the commission under which he claims to
be so sovereign that noact OF, theirs could be
impeach,d, or even inquired into, though
tainted by a fraud that would have VOded
any other human transaction. in any court
in Christendom, he is tllgrantly defyng the
Constitution of his country. =
And all men who hold office under him of
political significance are holding his gar
ments whilst liberty is bayOneted to death.
The plea Of uniting with evil doors for the
purpose o. controlling them is as contempt
IDLE as it is stale.
The du5y of tie Southern Democrats a.
well as of the Northern Democrats, a.:d OF
Democrats and friends OF constitutional lib
ertv eYeryN here, is to wage open war
against Mr.. Hayes and all her men who
disregard the plain provisions of that great
charter of the rights of the States and of the
Dem Ocracy to see that not another dollar is
voted To the support OF the army until
guarantees are given that it shall no longer
be used to DESTROY the States, and shear
them of their Just powers.
l see no objection to Democrats filling
subordinate positions to which no signifi-
cahce is attached, except in 50 far as the
sense OF obligatl N t6 the appointing power
may weaken the bl )Ws which an honest
man should always be ready to strike the
enemies of the coun-ry's honor ana welfare.

Louisiana Free:

Truth is mighty and will prevail. Inc
"solid South" is no longer thing to be
hoped for. 1t is a reality. The plans
Of the scheming architects of mischief
who thought to defraud the people have
been overruled, and the very agents
they had selected have been the
instruments of their defeat and disaP-
pontment. The rejoicings Of the Re
publican leaders has been turned into
mourning. Louisiana is free; and with
her freedom disappears the last remnant
Of Radical rule in the South. On yester-
day (the 24th) the troops that have been
keeping watch over the Packard preten-
sion of a government were removed, and
the concern falls by its own feebleness and
corruption. Twelve years ago the Dem
ocracy commenced the battle for self-gov-
eminent and Home Rule in the South
and they have won at last. They did
not install the elected President, but
they carried the country by a majority
irresistible enough to compel Republl-
can Administration to obey the popular
decree. The Commission did nothing
but delay a settlement that ought to have
been made Immediately after the inaugu-
ration. 1t failed in all of its attempted
negotiations; and the value of the victory
is enhanced by the fact that it has been
achieved without a concession. The
Democracy, representing the people Of
Louisiana are free to elect men who will
reinforce the swelling numbers of THEN
party in the L. ;. Senate. They
will have control of all the department.
of the State governments, and Louisiana,
like the self-creating bird in the fable,
will spring from her own ashes, renewed
and equipped for new lease of life.

SAYS the Picayune: "the members OF
sc the Commission who came hIther on
"the par. of the President are, there
:" fore, able to report, without entering
"into any further investigation of the
L" facts of the case, that Gov. Nichols
besides having the unqualified sup
"port of the great majority of the people,
" is sustained by a State Legislature, ETC.
Were not these facts as well known
before "the Commission" came as now!
The Commission did not come to be IN
formed in regard to Louisiana matters
but to arrange compromise so as to Sc
cure United States Senator or some
thing else from the wreck, for the Radi-
Gals Neither side were willing to trade,
and making virtue Of necessity the
truth flashed upon Mr.. Hayes that
3" there does not exist in Louisiana such
domestic violence as is contemplated by
/" the Constitution as the ground upon
q which the military power may Interfere
Gin the affairs of the State" That's the
whole secret of this disgraceful proceed
ing by which for two months, he has kept
the people of Louisiana on the rack Of
uncertainty, in condition of chaos,
with functions of government suspended
and business paralyzed.

BY the report Of decision Of the Su-
preme Court of the u. s., in an insur-
ance case, printed elsewhere, it will be
seen that the Court decided that a State
has the right to impose whatever condi
tions it may deem proper upon foreign
insurance transaeting business within it,
provided such conditions do not violate
the Constitution of the United States.
In an Iowa insurance ease the Supreme
Court decides that verbal waiver by
the agent of the payment of premiun,
she policy providing that he can only
snake such waiver in writing, is never
theIess binding, on the ground that au-
thorty to do it ia writing implies the
right to do the same thing verbally.
