THE PEACH TRAFFIC.-Much of our space
on the first page this week is devoted to
the correspondence between the committee
of Peach Growers and President Hinckley
of the Railroad Company. The committee
arraign the Company and the President
pleads not guilty. To this the committee
put in second charge and the controversy
ends by the committee saying to the Com
pany, virtually, "there is eternal war be-
tween me and thee"
And yet, while the committee accuse
the R. R. Co. of ruinous policies as against
the peach growers, the railroad authorities
are circulating pamphlets all over the coun-
try to enhance the peach growing interests
of the Peninsula and to induce agriculturists
to invest in its SOIL And while the COM
mittee are assailing the Company for dis
regarding the interests of the growers in
that they are to be deprived of chartered
cars, the Company are sending out circulars
notifying growers that they have instituted
a contract system for the convenience of
shippers by the carload. And when a
resolution is introduced in a meeting of
twenty-five growers to the effect that the
interests of grower and transporter are
mutual and should harmonic, the resolu-
ton is thrown under the table, while nine
teen members of the meeting insist that
the Company should be put under the law
and made succumb until it act to the in.
terest of the fruit growers.
This seems to be the long and short Of
the whole matter: Having reached this
point the peach convention has adjourned
and the railroad authorities go forward
with their arrangements just as before.

Norristown, Penn, on the 9th of'August, is

a desire to shed blood" This brutal dis
position in cases of homicide is not Otter

Ts,5fraf Conspiracy Against
Sgf.sissiPpi--.The LESSON

another column will be found an ar
t;.le under the head of the "Mlssiss'lPi
-o,,omep worthy the attention of the peo-
IL of this State. 1t relates to the plot
ag the conspirators to overthrow the ex-
sting government either by recognizing
.ho defeated candidates or holding
h.ronet election. The foundation OF
re Mot was the Boutwell, investigation
IN which the majority of the Senatorial
Committee disregarded the truthful
...,n,opts Of conscientious and intelll-
a.nt citizens. and accepted Cor feigned to
accent AS gospel truth, the lying state
,nents of cunning villains, or OF their
blind and ignorant dupes. The logic OF
the nartisan proceeding was the recon-
,nandation that the existing government
of the people of the State be overturned
and given place to bayonet rule or a
carpet oligarchy boosted by the
army. President Grant has encour-
agei This revolutionary programme by
renoaledly declaring that the government
Of Mississippi is in the hands OF ofhcla''
who were elected by means that would be
,;sored;table to savages much less tC
civilized people, and by prOclaiminG
through the press, that Ames Is a "retu
caav from the State. At the Presen
session Of Congress, the Boutwell, pro
cromne has been openly advocated; an'
that il is a part Of the settled policy o
the Radical party, is shown by the contln
nation of the so-called investigation
which was instituted by Boutwell, " Go.
after the election of 1873. Crowds o
unscrupuIous, holding witnesse
have been summoned to tell their tale
Of horror. which have been circulated
far and wide, TO build up a public opin
ion in favor of, and to justify, the pro
Crane. If Hayes is juggled into tn
Presidency by the plan Of the join
committee, everything will be in read
ness Tor the execution of the plot
The conspirators will have a four year
lease Of power, and will be emboldene
to do their worst.
The lesson of this plainly develope
conspiracy against the people of on
State, is that their Legislature shout
leave no means unemployed to defeat II
and to hold the legitimate government
their choice. How to do it has been ofte
explained and earnestly urged in thes
columns.

How Shall Fines Collected by
Justices Of IIle Peace be
Secured to 1lse State

This question is frequently asked; and
the attention of the Legislature was called
to it in the able report of the Auditor.
The same difficulties which now surround
the transmission to the treasury of the
fines collected by Justices Of the Peace
until 1875 were experienced in regard to
the privilege licenses. At that time,
Colonel J. S. Hamilton, deputy Auditor,
drew up bill which became law, re-
curing uniform receipts to be issued for
each license. These receipts were issued
by the Auditor and charged to the Sher-
ifs and in their settlements they have to
account for them. The effect of the
law is shown by the large increase of
revenue from this source (see Auditors
report). Some such law as this would
accomplish the same results in the case
of fines by Justices of the Peace. The
law could provide that the Auditor should
have uniform Justice of the Peace re
ceipts in denominations; of say two dol
lars and fifty cents, five and ten dollars
prepared; and should issue them upon
requisition to Sherifs, and they in turn
issue them to the Justices of the Peace.
The Justices should be required
to give these receipts in cases of
fines collected. They could with die
denominations named above, make the
proper change.
The Auditor could hold the Sheriffs
responsible for these receipts, and they
could hold the Justices responsible for
them. If then, it should be provided
that Justices should in no case collect
costs unless the party charged should be
fined, and that no fine should be for less
than two dollars and half nor should
be for any amount for which these re-
ceipts could not be given; and with prop
er penalties for violation of the act, we
feel assured that there would be less
trouble about the collection of these fines,
and that the school fund would be great
ly benefited thereby.
There would be no trouble about the
receipts. For a twenty-five dollar fine,
for instance, the Justice could give two
ten and one FIVE dollar receipt, and so
on This plan might not work as we'll
as desired, but it certainly would be
great improvement upon the present sys-
tenn

'Essc New Pacific Railway.

Notwithstanding the complaints which
are made about the terms upon which
the consolidation was effected between the
two competing interests for building a
Southern railroad to the Pacific, we are
gratifed that the arrangement was made.
1t promises the great desideratum of
a continuous line of roads from the At
lantic to the Pacific, on the 30 pare lei.
and of breaking up the monopoly enjoy
Ell by the present line; and this will be
sufficient compensation even for what
are alleged by its enemies to be objec-
tionable features. The government has
been exceedingly lavish in its donations
to the Northern, or Union line, which,
without competition, is excessive in its
freight and passenger rates; and we do
not see why it may not be somewhat lib
eral with this line which, while it destroys
the monopoly, will furnish a highway,
open at all seasons, across the fruitful
plains and through the teeming forests of
the South and South west. 1t Is said
that the whole sum to be guaranteed by
the government to the new line, is not
equal to its present annual expenditures
for transportation of mails, military sup
plies and otherwise in furnishing and
protecting the whole southern belt of the
western portion of the continent; and
the bill gives to the government not only
reserve of five thousand dollars per
mile of the bonds, but all charges for
every form of transportation, telegraph
ing, proceeds of lands, etc, and such
portion of the net revenue of the COM
pany, in addition, if any shall be need
ed, as will fully reimburse all payments
of interest assumed by the United States.

The Duties of Immigration Conn
missioner.

We assume that whether the Legisla-
ture permits the office of Commissioner
OF immigration to be a dead letter for the
present by Withholding the necessary
appropriations for carrying on, a future
Legislature will not take the same view
OF the subject; but will adopt means to
put it into active operation for the
purpose of supplying the great need of
the state, next to honest and intelligent
government, viz: population and capital.
Without these latter elements the State
will made slow progress in wealth and
prosperity.
If anyone thinks that the mission Of
an Immigration Commissioner is 70 he
contracted to a mere agency for bringing
servants and hirelings into the State he
IS wide of the mark. To properly per
form the duties of the office, the highest
order of capacity and intelligence will be
required. Unless existing currents and
influences which are operating to carry
the tide of European emigration to the
Northwest and to Texas, are counter
acted by superior ability and well directed
effort, nothing can be accomplished in
turning it to our State. To effect
this object there must be able or.
ganizing capacity at the head of the
Immigration Bureau, so as to produce
concerted action among our people, land
holding classes especially, and to create
and hold out inducements for the purchase
OF homes and the investment of capitaL

THE CLARION has over and over again as
serted its belief that 4. X Davis. lat. Lieu
tenant Governor, was paid the sum Of $500
to induce him to resign while mpeachment
proceedings against him were pending in
the Senate. and The charge has been reitera-
ted by the Democratic press OF the State
generally .-Times.
THE CLARION has not said what its
"belief" is but it has said that the
charge was made by Dr. Fred. Barrett,
a leading member of the Republican par
ty, with name, date, specification and
challenge of denial. He has never recan-
ted nor qualified his charge. The Times
further says:
We have only to add that Governor Ames
could not have been assailed in the Times
newspaper for thus batting the designs II
those engaged IN the scheDle' asserted by
The CLARION.
The design in procuring the resignation
of Davis was to secure a Republican
Lieutenant Governor who would occupy
the Office OF Governor after the removal.
or resignation of Ames The latter re
fused to further the scheme by making
an appointment; and we again assert
that for his refusal to do so he was fercely
assailed by the Times which charged him
with having failed to exercise the prerog-
atives of bis Office and securing the Ex-
ecutive Department to the control of the
Republicans. In the same connection
it announced that caucus had made a
recommendation for the place. DR.. Bar
rett charged that the resignation was
procured by bribery. The general charge
has never been denied, though its per-
sonal applicability has been. 1t is an
issue between Republicans. By their
testimony it seems to be understood that
the money was paid. The question is,
who did it?
