The Memphis Cotton Exchange at.
tempts to show that the average decrease
of the number of bales proposed in that
district in 1876, as compared with 1876,
is 19a per cent. That may be true but
when it undertakes to make estimates of
the present season before the crop is
planted, it subjects itself to ridicule.

THE Southern Hotel, st. Louis, was
destroyed by fire, on Tuesday night, 10th
inst, and many OF the occupants were
either burned to death in the building or
killed in trying to effect their escape.
The st. Louis papers have been filed for
several days with the details of the great
calamity. Among the most widely
known of the victimsIis Geo. Frank
Gouley, Grand Secretary of the Masonic
Grand Bodies Of Missouri, who, with his
wife, boarded at the hotel. The public
should demand that in the construction
of five and six story hotels, some means
of escape should be provided in case of
fire.

make) would prove that the VicePresi

Mr.. Wheelers cheek blanched, and on
the principle that conscience makes
towards, he left his seat abruptly
During Mr.. Hayes term there will be
many occasions for such scenes. The
Democratic members of Congress in their
address urged the people to ''agitate"
without ceasing the crime of installing a
President who had not been elected; but
even if their injunction be not needed,
it will come up, like Banquo's ghost,
unbidden to mar, in thousand WAYS,
the feast of the usurper and his guests.

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-04-18


The TINES reproduces Mr.. Tilden's
letter of the late canvass concerning the
payment of what it calls "rebel claims,
| Ironically ''for the consolation of those
who mourn over his defeat" The Times
is very much mistaken if it supposes the
| Southern Democrats based their support
of him upon such thrilling considerations.
They were struggling for the right Of
selt-government and relief from military
domination. As for the 'rebel debt, " the
Radicals settled that question long before
by prohibiting its payment in the consti-
tutional amendments and they incorpor-
ated a similar provision in the Mississippi
Constitution. Their slogan in the late
canvass was the 'rebel debt and South
ern claims" and it was the clamor of the
Hayes crowd against Mr. Tilden, which
brought forth his letter on those subjects.
If there is a single prominent Northern
Radical who has ever uttered word in
favor of their payment, we would be GLAD
if the Times would mention his name.
The truth is the action of the Republican
party has forever settled the question ex-
cept as bugbear for partizan use in
electiQns.
To prevent mistake, we reproduce the
following extract from Mr. Tilden's letter
to repeat our unqualified endorsement
of it:
shall deem it my duty to veto every bill
providing for the assumption or payment
of any such debts, losses, damages, claims
or for the refunding of any such cotton tax
Tie danger TO the National Treasury is not
from claims of persons who aided the re-
bellion, but claims of persons. residing in
the Southern States who were or pretended
TO be or who, for the sake of aiding the
claims. now pretend to have been loyal to
the Government of the Union. Such
are from acts ciusGL by inc operations or wal
have been disowned by the public law of civ
ilized nations. condemned by the aajndica
tious of the Supr, me- Court of the United
states, and Only had any status by force o!
specific legislation OF Congress. These
claims have become stale. and are often
tainted with fraud: they are nearly always
owned, in whole or IN part. by claim agents,
bY spectators or lobbyists, who have no
equity against the taxpayers or the public.
They should in ati cases be scrutinizrd with
zealous care. The calamities to individuals
which We're afflicted by the late war, are
for the most part irreparable.

A REMARKABLE CLoCK.-One of the
greatest novelties of the age in the
way of a time piece is now on exhibi-
ton at the office Of the State Building
Commissioners in this city. 1t is an
electromagnetic clock, and is a marvel
Of simplicity in construction, with no
pinions or any other Of the machinery
to he found in other time pieces. The
clock has three hands, and the motive
power is an ordinary electromagnetic
connected with gravity battery, and
is about as near perpetual 'inoUion as
has ever been or ever willTbe attained,
and requires no winding ITO prevent
variation of time on account of
strength of battery, an equalizer has
been constructed, which regulates the
force Of the electric power. The same
battery will operate any number Of
clocks in different rooms of building,
and thereby secure uniformity of time
The time-kecperS can be constructed
as cheaply as any style of clock, and
have many advantages over the old
modes, which will undoubtedly bring
them into general use, especially in
public Offices, where it is desirable to
have uniformity of time in several
rooms. The inventor OF this new time
keeper is Mr.. Fred. Sweet, of Hastings,
