Study AT HoME.-We find in the
August number of the Atlantic Month
" two or three columns devoted 10,
sxplaaation Of the methOdss d69teas

This society is completely disassoci-
ated from all educational institu-
tions, and cannot in any organic
form be connected with them, while Il
offers many opportunities to teachers.
which some are using. The purpose
is to induce girls to form the habit
of devoting some part Of every day
to study of systematic and through
kind. To carry out this purpose,
courses of reading and plans Of
work are arranged, from which the
pupil members may select one or
more according to their taste and
leisure. Aid is given them from
time to time, through direction and
advice, and meeting is held once 3
year, where the students may meet
the managers. The course open to
students are history, natural science
(including botany, physical geogrs-
ply, zoology, geology, mineralogy
and astronomy, art, German, French
and English literature. The first
year there were As students, the
second year 81, the third year 295,
and last year SIG. The corps OF
managers includes a chairman, Sec
retary, treasurer, six heads Of de-
partments, and % members. The
headquarters are at Boston, and
there is also o bureau of managers
in California, and an agency in Lou
isiana. t"@-

Hons BINDING OF PAPERs AND MaGA-
zryEs.-We know what handsome
books are made by getting old mag
azines bound up in yearly or half
yearly Volumes. Many OF us cannot
afford to have all of the old maga-
zines and papers which we preserve
in order, bound by the regular book
binders. It is possible to bind these
together SO as to preserve them in
convenient form, with a very little
trouble, and with no expense to
speak of. Sew them together with
strong cord or twine. Don't sew
them "over and over" like the
seam in sheet, as papers sewed in
this way tear out badly, and the book
loses its shape. To make q thick
book, q good strong awl is needed.
Lay tho numbers in order, removing
the covers, if they are covered. Fix
the backs evenly, and make awl-
holes from half to tbree-quarters
of an inch from to !, edge,
Ahrough the whole pile, not more
than two or three inches apart.
Sew through these with q daruing
needle and twine, back and forth,
until the book is firm, fastening the
ends of the twine securely. If q
good strong cover be desired, it is
best to bind the backs with q strong
cloth. This may be done by folding
q strip of cloth over the backs (the
whole pile together) before piercing
the holes. To this strip, on front
and back, paste paper, one thickness
over another, until thick board is
formed, drying it with warm fiat
iron as you proceed, SO as to keep q
smooth aud even surface. Trim the
edges, paste something strong over
the back, line the cover neatly, and
embellish the outside according to
taste. .

The TELEpHoNE.-The telephone is
useful for more than one purpose.
A late member of the Boston Herald
describes the apparatus now used in
Providence for Lighting and extin-
gushing the street lights. It's nov
city consists in the combination Of
compressed air for forming the me-
chanical part of the operation with
an electric current for lighting the
gas. The system has been in oper-
alton for more than year, and has
resulted in very great saving OF
expense, in the care and lighting OF
the 22O lanterns to which it has been
applied, over the old system of hand
lightning. The connection of the
hnterns with the central Office Is
made through about ten miles of
copper wire, which is enclosed in
iron pipes laid about 10 inches below
the surface, and all of them are ig-
nited OF extinguished in less than
half 4 minute. hy the turning up ar
down Of single lever. Since the

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-01-10

Below we have copied the latest ex-
pressions from President Grant on the
Presidential question. If it should be
come settled that the programme here
indicated will be carried out, it would be
desirable for the Legislature to be in
session 10 adopt such course as the emer-
gency may require, Or in the event
all effort at an arrangement should fail ,
and the pretentions of the conspirators
should go to the point of attempting to
seize the government a ct arntis, the rea-
son for a session of the Legislature would
be stronger still
First. That if it is not decided before the
4th of March who has been elected Presi-
dent provisional government be provided
and a new election ordered forthwith.
Second. He believes that the President of
the Senate has power to count the votes and
determine who has been elected, and that
he will do it.
The Washington correspondent of the
n. o. Democrat, telegraphed that as
members return from their holiday va
cation, many seem incline towards the
plan of settling the embroglio by new
election.
We are tempted to ask what assurance
there is that the Returning Boards will
not repeat their frauds and defeat an
election the second time. To hold an
other election is simply to give the Radi-
Gals a second chance after having lost
the first. If it is done, proper safeguards
should be adopted to secure an honest
count and acquiescence in the election
after it is held. There should be stipu-
lations also against the employment of
the Uuited States Army for the purpose
of overawing voters and controlling the
election. Let it be free, fair and honest;
or let the people who have fairly won
the fight, maintain their right to install
Governor Tilden, the man of their choice.

A voice from, .he Empire state.

The most significant expression OF the
day in regard to the Presidential dit1cul-
ity is the inaugural message Of the new
Governor of New York. Speaking for
the leading State in the Union, and pre-
sumed to speak not without the concur
renee of Gov. Tilden, his words are
worthy of more than ordinary considera-
ton. He says
The Presi lent of the Senate is three re-
moves from the people; If such power
were TO have been vested in a single man,
depository would have been chosen not SO
far removed from popular accountability
But the people of this country VIII never
vest such power In any o:e man, hoWeN-
er selected. They will never consent 10
new construction of the constitution ana
nd laws that bears such fruit.
In this sentiment aud purpose the SlaJe OF
New York cordially concurs. Foremost
among all our American Commonwealth IN
popuIation. in the variety and extent OF her
ministries and interests, she has ia every
viscissituda of public affairs put forth All
her streng' a.. moral and physical, TO mann
tain the existence and the just authorities OF
the Union and she can never consent tiat

tional government shall be supplanteu or

They will stand firmly on the ancient
ways. and insist that the electoral votes IN
this emergency shall be counted AS they
have always been counted, by the two
houses OF Congress, and by nobody else In
conclusion, lie says the people of the United
States will never consent TO have their repre-
sentatives in Congress stripped of those pow
ers, or tolerate this u-urpation by a deputy
of the senate, or by any single person, and
still less by an officer who is frequently iu-
teresteI as IA candidate in the result OF the

Ex Gov. Brown, of Georgia, is a
man of moderation and conservatism.
Indeed, the ultras classed him as a Re
publican in the days Of reconstruction.
At the instance of the friends of Mr..
Tilden, he went to Florida to see a fair
count; and here is his opinion of the So
luton. He says he does mot entertain
the shadow of doubt that Tilden and
Hendricks were elected President and
Vice President of the United States at
the election held on the 7th of Novem-
her last" He is equally confident that
the Radicals "by false and fraudulent
canvass of the votes of South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana" will attempt to
override and set at defiance the verdict of
the people at the ballot box. Under
these circumstances he believes that it is
the duty of the Democracy of the whole
Union-"to resoluley and firmly resist
the contemplated usurpation, and that
they should stand firmly by the eandi-
dates fairly elected, and see that they
are inaugurated and placed in the full
possession Of all authority and rights re-
sulting from such election

The Governors Mansion.

The readers Of THE CLARION may
recollect that in 1870, when the repair
ing and refurnishing of the Governor
Mansion cost the people about forty
thousand dollars, we suggested the pro
priety Of disposing of that ornamental
and costly establishment, or of transfer
ring it to one OF she benevolent institu-
tons of the St9.e. The deaf and dumb
were then without shelter; but they
have since been comfortably provided
for; and now we see, by the Governors
Message, that "the main building of the
Blind Institute is in very delapidated
condition, and year or two hence will
not be habitable, without large amount
Of money expended in repairs" We con-
cur with his Excellency in the suggestion
that ''the policy of patching an old
building at heavy expense, is, to say the
least OF it, doubtful" When we ad-
vocated the policy six years ago of
selling or transferring the Mansion, as
stated, it was construed by some into
opposition to the party in power, and to
the then occupant, although no such motive
prompted the suggestion. 1t now seems
to be appropriate to return 10 the subject,
and we submit that the suggestions of
the Governor in reference to the blind
could be acted upon in no more economi-
cal or practical way than in the trans
fer of the Executive Mansion to the
trustees OF the Institute for the Blind.
Let the Governor, whoever he may be,
provide his own quarters, at his own
expense, like other State officers, and let
this costly building, which has, for some
wears. been more ornamental than usefu.
be transformed into home for the only
class OF the unfortuaates of our State
who. are not properly provided for.
The Blind Institute property, which
embraces about five acres in the heart of
the city, would sell for enough to defray
any expense that may he necessary in

Twelve Months Residence.

In amending the election law, it would
be well for the Legislature to require res
dence of twelve months in the State, in
stead of six months, before voting. No
person should be invested with the privi-
lege of participating in the government of
the State and exercising control in the
selection of those who are to make and
execute its laws except real bona fde cit
izens- The privilegeis too important to
be devoiyed upon temporary residents,
or mere interlopers and stragglers who
are here to-day and elsewhere to-morroW.

Ben. Hill lived i'm Georgia In a Democratic

been an advocate Of secession originally,
he gave to the Confederate administra-
ton perfectly loyal support. He ad-

The %2nd Senatorial District.

There was, at the beginning of the
session, Constitutional question raised
as to the eligibility of Hon. Jno. D. Bills
elected vice Hon. J. NJ. Stone, promoted
to the Executive Chair-or rather
whether there was vacancy or not. The
subject matter was referred to the proper
committee, who, through their Chair
man, Mr.. Catchings, presented an able
report, which owing to its length We are
unable to produce, and with the report the
following preamble and resolutions which
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas. On the - day of -, 1876, the
offices of Governor and Lieutenant Cover
nor were both vacant, and
Whereas, Under the Constitution and
laws of the State, the Office of Governor
devOlved upon the Hon. J. NJ. Stone, who
at that time was the President pro TEN of
the Senate, whereby his seat in this body
became vacant, and
Whereas, Al an election ordered and held
to fill said vacancy, the Hon. John ID. Bills
was chosen; therefore,
Resolved, That the succession of the Hon.
