The ElectKom 5r15<s-
Laws.

The rascally tricks which have been
played by the Radical spoilsmen in Louisi-
ana, South Carolina and Florida, the only
Southern States from which they have not
been expelled from office, will furnish
warning to the Democrats of Mississippi
to be constantly on their guard to prevent
their restoration TO power in this State.
The serpent, we think, is killed, but it
may be only scotched. We must be
prepared to strike wherever it shows its
head. The best weapon that can be
used, Is the policy of prudence, modera-
ton, Just-dealing and frmness which was
inaugurated by the Legislature at It's first
session. A great deal depends upon
that body; and the manner in which it
discharged its vast responsibilities at the
first meeting, justifes the confidence we
repose in the future wisdom of its course.
If the Democratic majority in the pres
ent Congress had displayed the states
manship that has characterized the
proceedings of the Democratic Legisla-
lures Of Mississippi, Alabama and the
other reclaimed Southern States, the sue
cess Of the Presidential nominee of their
party would not have been imperilled by
the vilIainies Of returning boards in the
States which are yet in the wilderness OF
Radical bondage.
The election and registration laws
should be closely scanned. They were
passed in haste at the close of a long
session of the Legislature, when the
members, having performed Herculean
labors, were eager to adjourn; and it is
not improbable that they contain imper-
| fections which were revealed by the test
to which they were pnt during the late
canvass. Nothing must be left undone
to prevent fraud and secure ga fair
count" The purity of the ballot box
must be preserved. 1t is the fountain
head of our Republican system. If It's
source is impure its emanatlons will be
corrupt. There is wisdom in the old
saying, "make hay while the sun
shines" Let the Democracy, while they
are in possession of the State govern
ment, make every needful preparation
for holding ''the fort" The storm may
rage without, but if we have a sound
and capable local government within, we
can afford to look calmly on the scene
aud let it howl

RAILROAD NEWS,


Water Valley Courier.I
On Monday, January 1st, Gen. R. P
Nicely of Bolivar, Tenn, assumes contro
as Receiver of the line of Railroad ex
tending from Canton Miss. to Cairo ILL.,
it being the Miss Central and its Exten
sion from jackson, Tenn, to Cairo. The
office of the Receiver, and general offices
of the line will be at Bolivar, Tenn Mr.
Clark, who is General Manager of the
Illinois Central, will be General Manage,
also Of this road, as we'll as the division
from Canton TO New Orleans. Mr.. r.
L. Walker, of Bolivar, is Treasurer and
Pay Master of this part of the line, and
Mr.. r. S. Stedman, Auditor, with their
offices at Bolivar.
In the management of the Railroad
affairs. as Receiver, Gen. Nicely adopts
the old name of the Company under
which it was built, and the one that is
most familiar with our people, that of
the Mississippi Central Railroad.
The CLARION is mistaken, in stating
that the Order of the Federal Court Of
Louisiana, directing the sale of the N.
0. St L. Il G. Railroad includes the
foreclosure of the Mississippi Central
Railroad. That order will no doubt soon
be made, but it comes from another court,
and the probabilities are that when the
sale takes place, it will include the
whole line from New Orleans to Cairo.

The Most Terrible EEaIIrOad Dis
aSIer Of the Day.
Farther Particulars of the AshIa.
buIa Railroad Disaster.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 29.-It is estimated
that of 175 persons on the train wrecked
near Ashtabula, at least onethird were
killed, burned to death or frozen. The
train was drawn by two engines-one en-
CINE remained on the bridge, everything
else went down. The unfortunate train
! is known as the Pacific Express, and
consisted of six coaches and two dining
room cars, with the usual express and
| baggage cars, and two engines. Daniel
. MEG uire, engineer of the forward engine,
relates that the train was running at a
slow rate and just as they had fairly
crossed the high bridge, which is not
more than forty rods distant from the
depot he felt violent jar, and in an
instant the coupling between the two en-
gines had broken, and the whole train was
precipitated, with the bridge, into the
river below.
McGenle says that his engine was
pulled back nearly to the end Of the
broken span before the coupling
severed, and it resumed its forward
motion barely in time to save itself. The
bridge over Ashtabula River was an iron
truss bridge and had been in use about
OlCNCi J CdiS.
The span is about one hundred feet
wide, and through the space between
flows the river, about four or five feet
deep at this time, thickly covered with
ice. Into this spnce were the eleven
cars and one engine and tender precipi-
tated. The fall Of sixty feet of course
breaking through the ice covering and
shivered the cars as if magazine of
nitro glycerine had exploded beneath
them.
The seven passenger coaches alto
gether contained about 165 adults be-
sides a number of children. In the
drawing room car, which was bound for
Cleveland, there were nine persons, all
of whom are supposed to have persisted
by drowning or fire. In the two sleepers
bound for Chicago, there were 80 passen-
gers, and most of these, in the forward
car, were saved, with injuries more or
less severe. Within a very few minutes
after the crash, the flames burst out ST.
simultaneously from nearly every car. The
latest statement gives go wounded and
100 killed
Wounded T. C. Wright, of Nash
vile, about back, can be moved Wal
ter Hayes, Lexington, KY, slightly.
There was on board a family named
Bennett, on its way from New York
State to jefferson, Ashtabula county.
The father and mother got out of the
wreck, and the children were only saved
by being tossed from the arms of one
man to another over the pile of burning
wood. One of the four children was Sc
riously injured, and all were slightly
scratched. This morning the mother,
who was enciente, gave birth to child
the event being fastened by the excite
ment she had undergone.

DIR. H. n. Griffin.

II speaks well for the efficiency of the
Democratic organization in the Seashore
counties that DIR. E. F. Griffin was, on
the 23d ult., elected to the Legislature
by majority of upwards of 800, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Mr..
McInnis, the late member. DR. Griffin
is native of the Piney Woods region,
Perry county-a son of Mr.. William
Griffin, one of the pioneers of our State.
He is a graduate of the Mississippi
University at Oxford, and is one of the
largest mill proprietors and most enter
prising citizens of the Seashore region,
whose interests could not be entrusted to
better hands.

GRANT AND THE WIDOW VAN
COTE
He Would Not BE Converted.
Philadelphia Times.l

Philadelphia Times.l
In the West Thirtieth Street Meeting
house, last evening, the Widow Van
Colt described her visit to President
Grant and her effort to convert him to
Christianity. She visit I'd the Executive
Mansion with trepidation, and feeling
akin to awe filled her as she entered the
presence. She told Grant that she had
come to talk to him about religion. He
arose from his chair and bowed coldly
She reached out her hand to grasp his
and wish him God speed. He took her
hand in cold and disinterested manner.
She wanted to talk to him of Jesus and
the goodness of God, but he would not
talk with her on the subject. Mrs. Van
Colt continued 81 turned away from
the apathetic President of the United
States, and as l went out from his pres
ence my heart turned to Jesus, who is
never cold, but always has welcome for
those who approach him.

Tue Governors Message, to which We
invite the attention of every person who
desires to be informed of the condition
of the State, is practical, statesmanIike
paper. Its statements in reference to
her financial condition, is in the highest
degree satisfactory; and furnishes the
best evidence that can be given of the
wisdom Of the people in reforming their
State administration. The disburse
ments for 1876, were in round numbers,
S547 900; and showed a decrease from
the year 1875 under Radical rule) of
1851, 900. In all the branches of the
public service there has been a marked
decrease of expenditures since the com
mencement of Democratic rule and we
may add, that the difference has been
even greater still in the capacity aud
honesty of the agents to whom it has
been intrusted. Ignorance has given
place to competency, and dishonesty to
integrity. Phe consequence of these
reforms is a marked appreciation in the
paper Of the State; and for the first time
since reconstruction Auditors warrants
| are equivalent to greenbacks.
People at a distance who listened to
the lie invented by the dscomftted
spoilsmen, that the public schools had
been destroyed in Mississippi by the
Democratic Legislature, and that the
facilities of education had been denied to
colored children particularly, will be
amazed to learn from the Message that
school privileges are extended to all the
children of the State, and that 166, 2O4
children have availed themselves of these
privileges the past year, and that of this
number 80, 176 are colored children,
whose parents, by the way, from inabili-
ty and other causes, pay but a small part
Of the taxes by which the system is
main tained.
The Governor makes several important
recommendations, which we have no
doubt will engage the attention of the
Legislature. One is a revision of the
election and registration laws. (On this
subject, we have submitted some observa-
tons of our own, which will be found in
another column Another is an amend
ment to the Revenue law, securing be-
yond possibility of misconstruction the
right of redemption to persons whose
lands are sold for non-payment of taxes.
The School law requires amendment in
several essential features. Alsolegislation
to secure payment into the Treasury of
moneys collected on account of fines and
forfeitures. The Governor also points
out the necessity of legislation in regard
to the vast quantities of lands held by the
State for non payment of taxes.
On the whole, the exhibit made by his
Excellency of the States progress and
condition under the present regime is
highly gratifying, and his recommenda-
tions are worthy of careful consideration,
and, in the main, of adoption.

HE Will of the People.

The Southern people are of one mind
on the subject of keeping faith with the
Northern Democracy and inaugurating
Gov. Tilden ard supporting his admin
istration if it should be shown by. the
report of the committees of the House
of Representatives that he has been
elected Only politicians and expectant
place-men would be willing to sell out to
the would-be usurpers.
The people must take their own inter
ests and safety in their own hands, and
demand of their agents astrlct compliance
with their obligations under the Consti-
tuition. 1t must be understood that there
can be no arrangement with the conspira-
tors short of the faithful fulfllment of
the law
