Free Schools.

+ We1lave read an opinion from Attor-
ney-General Harris to the Su~perinten -
dent of Education, Hon. Jos. Bardwcll,
on the public school question. He
takes the ground that the Act of the
Legislature limiting the assessment OF
taxes in the respective counties to SIS
on the $1,000, applies to taxes for
schools, as well as other taxes, and that
under said act no additional levy can be
made for school taxes, even if there
should be a deficiency IL the school
fund.
In some counties ia the State schools
have been taught but two months, and
the superintendent will not allow them
to be Taught longer for the reason that
there IS no money on hand to pay teach
ers. This is a great hardship upon the
people. When the State was in Rad
cal hands we never had less than fom
months schools, and we remember that
it was the boast of the candidates III
their speeches two years ago that If the
Democrats were put i'll Office the free
schools would be taught five or six
months IN the year. AS they have not
carried out then promises it will become
the duty of the next Legislature to sec

Representative hall, at the State

The entire proceedings of the meeting
also gave, evidence that there was q
deep seated eaGnestness on the part of

Mr.. George Davidson, who was foI
many years a resident Of Mississippi,
was called up to offer what informa-
ton he possessed concerning the cli'
mate and productiveness of the State.
Mr.. Davidson spoke at some length,
and gave to the meeting much valuable
information. His remarks were receiv
ed with expressed appreciation, and
concluded by expressing a determines
ton of going to Mississippi to locate.
The Secretary, Mr.. Mccormick, then
read a communication from Mr.. E. G..
Cook, dated Fazlehurst, Copiah coun-
ty, Mississippi. The writer gave a
description of his locality, and ex-
pressed a desire to have industrious
workingmen settle among them aad be
come citizens of the State. The mat
tiers contained in the letter were dis
cussed at some length, after which il
was determined to open up a cores
pondence with the writer. A lengthy
session was held, durihS which much
important business was Transacted
After some in~terlocutory discussion
upon minor matters the Association
adjoured. to meet in the same hall on
Monday next. All communications adj

Ohio ID

The Republicans of Ohio have held
their convention to nominate State
officers. They are not over sanguine Of
success, as the following from the Gin
cinnati Times shows:
It is felt that the loss of the State by
the Republican party would seriously
impair the influence and usefulness OF
an Administration whose official head
was one of our most respected citizens,
and who naturally looks to his own
State for the support of the party
which he represents. The loss of the
Legislature would be the loss of a Re
publican Senator at a time when the
Republican majority in the Senate is
very small, and its maintenance a mat
ter of doubt. And finally, a Democrat
ic victory, at such a time and under
such circumstances, in a Northern Re.
publican State, and the native State Of
our Republican President, would, it is
felt, exercise a very important influence
toward the defeat of the Republican
party in the national campaign of 1880

Mississippi. August Sd, hsSs.
The Democratic party of Mississippi,
grateful for the success of its past Ell
forts in the cause of reform and OF Just
and honest government. and invoking
the blessings of Heaven on their future
endeavors in the same cause, do adopt
and proclaim the following platform OF
principles:
Fidelity to the Constitution of the
United States, home rule, and the pres
ervation of the State governments, with
all their reserved and guaranteed rights
unimpaired.
No interference by the military pow>
er with the freedom of elections, and
with the civil and political rights of
citizens of the United States. The
protection of the equal rights of all
classes-no discrimination on account
of race, color or previous condition oh
servitude, or birthplace, and no special
legislation for the benefit of the few at
the expense of the many. A strict adj
berence, in the selection of public
agents, to the time honored Jefferson
ian standard. as Ire honest, is he
capable, is he true to the Constitution"
A continuation of the policy Of re-
trenchment and reform so signally in
augurated by the Democratic party,
and a reduction of the burthens of tax
alton to the lowest point compatible
with an efficient execution of the laws.
Corporations of every description
supervisable within Constitutional
limits by State authority, and subor-
dinate to State legislation, in the in
terest and for the perpetuity of free
government depends upon the virtue
and intelligence of the people, we
pledge ourselves to the maintenance Of
our State system of free schools.
We favor the granting of such aid as
may he extended without violation Of
the Constitution of the United States,
or departing from the established u.s.
ages of the government, to the Texas
Pacific Railroad, and for the rebuild
ing and heeping in repair of the levees
of the Mississippi river.
That upon this platform of principles
and of public policy we invite the CO.
operation of all citizens without regard
to past differences, i'll support Of the
candidates nominated by this Conven-
ton.
/ Resolved, That unity and harmony
are essential to victory; that all indie
pendent movements are dangerous to
the integrity of party organization;
that all independent candidates are in
spired solely By a lust for Office; that
they shall be treated as common enc
mics to the welfare of the people and
avowed enemies of the Democratic par
ty Of the State of Mississippi.
