CATION.

FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC EDU'
CATION.
VICKsBURG, June %, ls,,,.
Editor OF the Herald;
In the Herald OF to-day notice that
the Clarion suggests Gen. James Ar.
gyle Smith, OF Paulding, formerly Of
Brandon, as a suitable candidate for
Superintendent OF Public Education.
Permit me to say q few words with
reference to this scholarly gentleman
and able soldier. Graduated at West
Point, an officer Of the United States
Army, he resigned his commission at
the commencement of our unhappy civil
struggle. and served throughout the
war with marked distinction. AS a
scholar, as a soldier, and gifted with the
high social and moral qualities that
combine 10 make up the true man,
Gen. Smith is the peer Of Mississippi's
best and ablest sons.
His education and training peculiarly
fit him for supervising the educational
interests OF his beloved State. Forfeit
ing by his manly devo ion to the South,
his only profession-that OF arms-cnly
recently in fact becoming "citizen"
by the removal Of his political disabil.
tiles, he was since the war engaged in
teaching. II would now be graceful
recognition Of meritorious service TO
place this thoroughly competent gen.
tleman in the position suggested by the
Clarion. Il Is proper to add that ]
have not seen Gen. Smith nor held any
correspondence with him for months,
but knowing and admiring bim as q
man Of sterling worth, of fine character
aud ability, | am satisfied that Mlssis-
sippians will do themselves honor by
nominating and electing him to the
office referred TO.

replied that they would send what
force was at their disposal to prevent
it. The Turkish Government protested,
but Notwithstanding the Greeks have
ordered the iron.clads George and

are now ready. The Greek Govern

COMMENT on IOWA.
The New York Tmes's Comments on the
Refusal of the Iowa Republicans to
Endorse Hayes-PaCkard's Mistakes,

WAsHINGToN, June 29.-The Times,
in an elaborate article on the refusal OF
the State Convention 10 endorse the
Administration, has this paragraph:
" But the common sense which keeps
the majority OF Republicans from raph.
sodising the policy OF reconciliation
that really reconciles nobody, also in
duces them to discounienance the eff.
forts to reopen question which In its
old aspects Is eiFectualy closed. Be 1t

the Presidents Southern action Is ire.

plish anything useful by prolonging
controversy which is more likely to ir-
rllate than heal wounds from which
the Republican organization suffers.
"The resentment OF exc Overnor
Packard Is not unnatural. When,
however, be carries TO other States the

speedy overthrow Of the Democracy OF

likelihood Of a Republican majority In

Radicals In the North are opposing the

Very Plain statement.

The Cincinnati Commercial recently
published It's "views about the elec-
ton to come o1r In Ohio next Fall. The
Commercial 10 now, If we may use
such an expression, very delicately
poised on the fence. Its "views" "
about the election are therefore just
about as plain as mud. 1t says the
President looks forward hopefully, but
there are other Republicans who think
that John Sherman's war on silver will
greatly injure the party. Then some
other good judges say they "must" carry
the State, as It would kick up the very
devil If the Democrats gained the
election. Then some reliable Demo-
Gratis claim that they have gained great
strength In the Western reserve, while
others fear dissensions In their party,
and still others do not know how far
to 60 on the money question. Taking
all the "able views" OF the Commercial
and sitting them out thoroughly,
any person Of ordinary intelligence
can convince himself that If tie Com.
merclal really knows anythins about
how the election in Ohio vii -, 1t Is
not yet ready TO divulge the secret.
