The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-04-11

In the New York Legislature bill
has passed to third reading, which,
should it finally become a law, will change
the manner Of choosing electors in that
State. 1t provides for the selection of
two electors for the State at large on
general ticket, but the district electors
are to be voted for only in the Congress
sional districts which they are nominated
to represent. This system formerly pre-
vailed throughout the Union. 1t has
been proposed that the Constitution be
so changed as TO require the Electoral
College to meet and elect the President,
and to be judge of the qualification of its
members After the bitter experience
of the people in the last bnll -dczing
Electoral Commission affair, they viii
demand such change in the organic
law as vii protect them hereafter from
repetition of the wrong.

Letter from Gen. Grant.

Gen. Grant has written a letter in ret

He had on apparently an entire new uni

Nothing was said in the preliminary cen

anything more WAS to be granted TO the

permitted to return Ia their homes on laying
down their arms, and not to be molested in

We publish in to days paper a synop-
sis of the proceedings of the State Medi-
cal Association held at Grenada du-
ring last week, and of the Organiza-
ton of the State Board Of Health
in conformity with the Act OF
the Legislature creating it. We are
pleased to note that the gentlemen OF
the medical profession of our State are
thus org ,nizel for the investigation and
discussion of topics of s;al interest to
the public, and gllnce at the proceed
ings will Indicate the variety of these
topics and the great ability with which
they are to be treated. An efficient
State b Jard of Health can render a vast
amount of service to the public, and we
know that the gentlemen composing the
Board are ambitious in that direction.

ONE of the ultimate results of the tri-
umph of Justice in South Carolina will
be the admission of Gen. Butler into
the United States Senate, who has been
assaulted and misunderstood in connection
with the so called Hamburg riot" He
can meet his accusers face to face and
will demand to know of them if
he and his associates in that affair were
murderers, why he was admitted to nom
inal bail by Republican Judge, and
has appeared in open court and asked in
vain for bill to be presented, so that he
might be tried and let the world know
the truth. And why Chamberlain
would not allow him to be tried or even
bill to be given to the grand jury,
when the Judge was Republican, the
prosecuting officers were Republicans,
and the body of both the grand and ira
verse jurors were negroes?

A CoNFERENCE ofpromineat carpet-ba
leaders, including Chamberlain, Kellogg
and others, was held at Washington a
few days ago. in which it is reported the
"opinion was unanimously accepted that
if the troops were withdrawn from the
support Of Packard in Louisiana, as
they were about to be from the support
of Governor Chamberlain in South Car
Gina, there would be an end of the Re
publican party in the South, and that the
idea of the Administration that the white
vote there could be divided was simply
an idle one. They agreed that the South
hereafter would be unitedly Democratic,
and that it would be impossible to carry
Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina
for the Republicans in the future. In
the course Of the conversation, which
reached a high temper, some threats of
exposure of certain dispatches and docu-
ments in connection with the declaration
of the result in Louisiana and Florida
for President were made. 1t was even
declared that if Packard were abandoned
in Louisiana the most startling exposures
Of the means by which the Republicans
counted in Hayes there would be pub
lished." The discomforted schemers are
right in their conjecture. The South
will be solidly Democratic in future
The Dem )crats have fought inch by
inch for every foot of ground they have
against the flesh, the world and the devil
of Radicalism, and they intend to hold
it. 1t is possible for the people to be
betrayed by leaders, but they will not
follow them. As for the promised dis
closures Of the foul means by which the
National Returning Board installed the
President de facto, the country has sup
ped full of them and has no further curl
osity on that subject to be gratifed.

At the Capitol building is young
man, and he is terribly afraid OF ghosts:
Last night several gentlemen about the
Capitol "put up a job on him; engaged
two boys to secrete themselve. in the del
egates' room and play ghost when the
victim put in M appearance, stating that
they would seEd him to the room on an
errand The boys sccreted themselves
AS directed, Hamlet STYLE" and
the gentlemen having the matter
In charge, posted the would he
victim, and gave him small pistol
loaded with blank cartridges, instructing
him TO shoot. The youth repaired to
the delegates room, fully equipped, when
all of sudden doomed up before
him a figure in white with fiery
eyes He took good aim, fired and re-
peated the fire A shrek of an unearthly
nature followed, and the figure dropped
to the floor, while boy WAS seen to
run into the clerks Office and lock the
door. The supposed victim struck a
light, and investigated, and found on the
floor one OF the "msrkers" Of the Light
Guards in fainting condition, scared
almost out of his wits. Cold water, how.
ever, restored him, and he has now re-
solved TO give up the ghost business. The
other boy was in = like condition, and it
was some time before he recovered
sufficiently to unlock the door and admit
the parties who enjoyed the sport.

Observation-Disclosures.

Last evening we interviewed Weis-
gerber, Of this city, and Denmsrsh, OF
Pittsburgh, the principles in the boat
race to take place to-day over the lower
course, for 5000 a side. Both parties
are in splendid trim and show signs of
careful training. Some considerable in.
Lerest is manifested in this race, but
money is not being put up IS freely on
the result as Was expected, parties hold
Ing off for odds. At late hour last
evening bets were even, but it is more
than likely that change will take
place before the race. The Pittsburgher
is confident of victory, but the Wheeling
man is equally as confident. Five o'clock
is the time set for starting.
ASeveral Pittsburshers came down on
the train last night to bet their wealth
on DenmarSh. They are ssnguine of
success.
Bets we're offered at Bellaire Yesterday
two to ole on Dennsrsh, with no takers.
The last acc units in this city are to
the effect that Denmarsh is the favorite.

ErRininK I'm OIL.

In some of the arts our citizens have
not until lately taken any special interest
to encourage by their patronage work
men of rare excellence to locate IN our
midst. As for instance, the art ot.graln-
ing in oil as applied to the interior orns-
mentation OF dwellings and public build
lngs. 1t is only within year or 80 that
this style of gr9nng WAS introduced IN
this city, and then by an artist from
abroad, Mr.. w. b. Walters, of PhpsdeI'
phis. Fortunately Mr.. w. was high
upon his business and he was not long IN
deciding that Wheeling WAS the spot he
had been seeking. Her people were
quick to perceive and appreciate the
superiority of his work and very shortly
as the beauty and durability of granting
in oil, composed by an artistic hand, came
to be known, patronage flowed
in upon him, until now Mr.. Walters has
thoroughly and permanently established
himself 10 our city. Mr.. Walters is now
engaged in executing some handsome
work at the National Bank of West Nlr-
ginis. to which he invites examination.
1t is but fair specimen of his skill 10
this art and which he makes specially
