Gen. y. A. Smith, for Superimten
dent of Public Education.

Ids. CLARION: As your paper is open to
receive nominations toE the various State
officers, desire to present the name of a
gentleman for Superintendent of Public
Education, who is thoroughly competent
and highly deserving. / alIudc to Gen. j
A. Smith, late of Brandon, but now OF
Paulding, Miss.
Gen. Smith was bred a soldier, having
been educated at the National Academy at
West Point, and when the war broke out.

lie fought his way up to Brigadier G en-
eral, and to-day bears upon his person scars
of battle. Indeed, he is manned for life. This
ordinarily would be be no argument in fa-
Vor OF mans nomination to office, because
there are thousands of whom the same
thlng may be said But in this case it
should be different. Here is a man whose
vocation was that of a soldier. He had
lucrative position and in the line of promo
ton which he resigned to serve his State
as matter of honor. In her service he IA
so manned as to disqualify him fer physical
labor; he has no profession, no trade. mn
calling by which he can earn livelihood.
but he is competent to discharge the duties
OF an important public office.
IL seems to me, under these circumstances
the State would be recreant to her dutv
not to consider his claims. If the soldiers
OF the army of Tennessee, with whom ba
fought, and especially Cleburne's old divi-
sion, have any voice in this matter. it will
be heard in his behalf

The Agric cultural Department of the
government, whether so designed or not,
40 far as it relates to tie culture of cot
ton, seems to be run for the benefit of
spectators in that staple The latest
Government Reports states the area IN
cotton cultivation the present year is 40
largely increased that it will amount
to 100000 Of acres. Estimat
ing the yield at half bale per acre
which is moderate, and the conclusion
is reached that the crop will amount to
5000, 900 bales. OF course the effect of
the extravagant statement will be to de
press prices and rob the producer for the
benefit Of the spectators in whose inter-
est the estimate is made. 1t exceeds the
probable yield by from $500, 600 to
q, OO0, 900 bales. All the reliable ac-
counts show that the present years acre
age In cotton does not exceed that of
1876; and there is no reason to assume
that the production viii be larger.

MinuesOta...A Genuine Case of
Reputation.

Minnesota has State debt with unpaid
interest amounting in all to 81 600, 900.
1t was created eighteen years ago by the
issuance of bonds in certain railroads.
They were issued under authority deriv-
ed from a direct vote of the people, with
all the sanction which an amendment to
the State Constitution could confer. The
legal validity Of the process has been
judicially affirmed. The creditors have
the assurance of courts that as against
any other debtor than a State, their ablt-
ity to recover would be indisputable.
The State, however, taking advantage OF
its immunity from ordinary legal meth
DDS, again and again refused to pay
either interest or principal to the holders
of the bonds. The bondholders offered to
compromise by accepting one-half the
amount due and six per cent. bonds
running at thirty years. Last week this
proposition was submitted to a vote OF
Of the people Of Minnesota-the same
authority byswhich the debt was original
Nv created-for acceptance or rejection.
1t was argued that it ought to be accept
ed for the reason that it afforded good
opportunity Of settling on very reasona
bic terms a just debt which the people
themselves had authorized to be created

construction of the railroads which had
added largely TO the population and
wealth of which the State boasts. The
result of the vote is that by large ma
jority the proposition has been rejected
and that the people have preferred to fal
back upon their original straight out
Reputation policy.
Some people are ignorant and malic
| ious enough to class the action of Mis-
sissppi in refusing to recognize the
Union Bank Bond debt with the Mime
sofa reputation. The cases are wholly
unlike. The pretended Mississippi
debt was not authorized by her people,
and the transaction on which 1t was
based, was in direct violation of the Con
sttution of the State, fact of which the
bondholders could not have been iguO-
rant, and if they were ignorant, they,
and not the people, were entitled to be
the sufferers. The people had declared
in their Constitution the precise condi-
tions on which the faith of the State
could be pledged so as 70 BE binding
upon them. These violated conditions
were a notification not only to her own
authorities bat tc ell the world, and if
the money lenders were willing to take
the risk of an unlawful speculation at
the hazard Of losing ALL the fault was
their own. not the peoples. In the case
of Mississippi, the benefits Of the loan
to the Union Bank were never realiz-
ed; but in Minnesota railroads were
built which have given impetus and
wealth to the population of the State.

The Natchex and jackson Road

Kinds County Gazette
Those of our readers who were present at
the Getting at Raymond, doubtless remem-
Der with what qualification Gen. Martin
spoke of the country from Fayette to Ray
mond. 1t was a far better country, in every
respect, than he expected to liud, and for a
railroad route he pronounced it superior to
any that he had ever seen. With the route
below, no natural obstruction whatever
was found. Not only so, but he found the
route inviting beyond all expectation and
representation Less bridges, less cutting,
less filling, would be required between Ray
mond and Jackson, than on any other sec
ton of the work, the Bakers creek bottom
furnishing as good and as direct a line as
could be desired.
At Raymond, on their return trip, Gen.
Martin and Captain Babbett made an esti-
mate rs the cost of building the Road from
Fayette to Jackson. They were careful to
estimate no item too low, preferring to
take the outside figure in every ease, and
thus provide against every possible con-
tingency. Their figures for each mile

they shall be paid in gold Tive of the
provisions of the act of 1873, are in
words as follows:
SECTION 10 That the silver coins OF
the United States shall be trade dollar,
a half dollar, or fifty cent piece, a quar-
ter dollar, or twenty-five cent piece, a
dime. or ten cent piece; and the weight
of the trade dollar shall be four hun

for coinage charges, in dollars of -four
hundred and twelve and one-half grain:
each. Such dollars were a legal tender
for any amount, but being until lately
worth more than gold dollars they were
never called for. 1t is now proposed by
the silver money party to repeal section:
ID and Il of the act of 1873, which We
have above quoted. The entire legisla
ton was intended to make money scarce
and dear in the interest of the bond
/ holders and fundmonding class at the
expense of the toiling millions. 1t viii
be the province of the Democratic party
to establish the silver dollar on the pc
