The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-11-27

The publication of the Holly Springs
Reporter has been resumed by the above
gentleman, who is again sole editor and
proprietor. Since he commenced his ca
reer as journalist in Holly Springs, the
people have successfully elected him to
represent Marshall county in the Legis-
lature, and that Furnishing town in the
office of Mayor, position to which be
was almost unanimously elected, and in
which he acquitted himself with honor.
as he has done in every public position he
has been called on to fill. 1t is needless
to say that under his management the
Reporter will continue to be an enter
prising newspaper and an able and fear
less advocate of sound democratic doe
trines.

Election Of school Trustees.

We ere requested by Gen. Smith,
State Superintendent of Public Educa-
ton, to direct attention to that section
Of the school law which relates to the
election of trustees, requiring that the
patrons of each school shall meet on
Che first Saturday in December for the
purpose of electing trustees of their
respective schools for the ensuing scho-
lastic year. In all incorporated towns
trustees are to be elected by the Board
Of Mayor and Aldermen at the same
time. Parents and guardians would do
well to attend to this matter. Other
wise it is made the duty of the County
Superintendent of Education to appoint
trustees.

The Public Health .-VVhat is
Asked.

The present laws authorize counties
and municipalities to establish quaran-
tine regulations, to protect themselves
from contagious and infectious diseases.
But the trouble is they provide no RENE
dies against violations of the regulations
they may adopt. For instance, persons
may recklessly evade the quarantine reg
ulationsof this city, under cover of night,
or otherwise, and on detection Mayor
McGill could, and would no doubt, i'm
prison, or eject them from the corpora
tion limits. But this practically amounts
to nothing as protection against terri
bic public enemy. What is wanted are
laws authorizing the establishment of
sanitary regulations coupled with severe
penalties for their violation, and ample
legislation for the abatement of nuisances
Ey municipal and county authorities.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has recently declared that the power of
the States to confer such authority is
ample. The public safety demands that

APoLoGIsrs Of the Hayes Admins
tration make great mistake in attrlbu'
ting the enjoyment of self-rule by the
Southern States to that Administration.
Ii they are Southern men they are rob
bling their own people of the credit
which belongs to them. 1t should be
known that the people of all but two OF
these States had passed through the
wilderness of Radical reconstruction and
, established on an enduring basis their
right of local self government before the
! thing of brass and fraud known as the
1 HAYES Administration was even thought
Of We are told by the apologists that
| by order of the Administration the
United States troops were removed from
tle Southern States. That is true, only
in part; but they ought to know, and
cannot help but know if they were not
blind to important political events, that
/ before this Administration was installed
the troops had ceased to cut any figure
whatever in Southern politics. Take
Mississippi, for example, where at one
| time the army was the principal
factor in scoring Republican victories.
What part did it perform in 1875 when
carpet-bag rule was ozerthrown or
in 1876 when Mr.. Hayes was himself a
candidate for the Presidency into which
| he was fraudulently installed? During
both these canvasses Federal troops
were stationed here at the capital, and
in other portions of the State; but they
we're mere cyPhers so far as exercising an
influence in arresting the popular move
ment to expel the Republicans from pow
er, was concerned. The same may be
| said Of all the other States, except Louis
lana and South Carolina and it is we'll
known that President Grant had inform
ed the Republican leaders in those States
that they must ne longer look to the
army 10 keep them in power. For
reaching this conclusion, no thanks, how
ever, are due to him but to the good
sense of the country which had revolted
against it, and whose voice he was forced
to obey. Let it be known of all men that
the Southern people are indebted to their
own fortitude and constancy for the re-
establishment of their right to govern
themselves-a right which they have
exercised with incompatible wisdom and
patriotism.

The Memphis Avalanche says that the
silver question was not strictly party
measure 1t must admit however that
1t looked that way. For example. in the
Senate twenty one Democrats voted for
resolution declaring the right of the
government to pay its bonds in silver as
well as gold. and but seven voted in the
negative. The other negative voters
were all Republicans. In the House of
Representatives on the silver remonetiza-
ton issue, pure and simple, the Demo-
cratic members were united almost to
man.

was fragrant and that the interference
with theright of the poor laborer to vote as

The public have cause to rejoice that
this important body assembled. 1t has
performed its work yell. 1t was grave
council of the leading health authorities
in the United States, reinforced by dele
gates from boards Of trade, statesmen
aud public benefactors who laid aside
their respective callings to take part in
the deliberations of one of the most i'm
portant bodies that have ever assembled
in the United States. 1t involved con-
slderations Of material prosperity as well
as of humanity. The reports of the
the Commission of Inquiry into the late
epidemic, collectively, and of the mem
ber's thereof individually, together with
the essays, addresses, etc, which were
delivered in the Convention, will pour a
flood of light upon subject which great
ly needs illumination and will make up
volume Of Incompatible value. The
conclusions which the Convention reach
ed will comport with the public estimate
of the ability and craftsmanship of the
body. They are set forth in the resoIu-
tons which we have printed in another
column. 1t is the judgment of the Con
vention that every State should establish
and adequately maintain an efficient
State Board Of Health, armed with am
pie means and power to provide for the
public safety against the mortal enemy
which has LETT a desolation in its track
that generations cannot efface. Measures
were also taken to secure whatever legis-
lation is needed by the Federal govern
ment; and to invite the co operation of
foreign nations. 1t will now be for the
State authorities, inspired by a predomi
mating public determination that the
terrible destroyer of the human family
shall be combatted by every agency which
human ingenuity can invent, to do their
part.

In the prevalent custom of timeservers,
funkies, and worshippers at the footstool
of power, to ignore history and apologize
for wrongs the South never committed,
and which have been falsely laid at her
doors by unprineipled and fanatical foes,
it is really refreshing to read the robust
truths presented in the recent manly
speech of Hon. Robert Toombs of Geor-
gia-a sketch of which will be found in
another part of this paper. Having no
ambitious ends of his own to subserve,
the ex-senator presents the truth as it is,
simple and unadorned, and fixes where
it belongs the responsibility for the ills
that have afflicted the country, upon the
sectional party of the North, which set
at defiance the compact of the Union,
brought or the war between the States,
piled up mountain load of public debt,
and after the war obstructed reunion by
a cruel and vindictive reconstruction
policy.

Taxation with representation.
Holly Springs Soulful

| Holly Springs Soulful
Our fathers cOntende1 with some yigor
that taxation without representation, was
injustice and tyranny. Are we sure the
converse OF thar proposition is any more
detensiblt If the exercise OF the elective
franchise is attended with expense to the
State, shall not all who share the privilege
share the payment? Shall one mans money
be taken for another maG's benefit; all
having equal advantages, and part plying
for them? Is not this equally wrong in
principle? man is meat who will ask il.
He does not ride. or dance or eat or drink
his grOg without paying for it. and ha2ffsht
not to vote any more ct other peorfe's eX-
peASe. A man who does not value the
privilege of voting as high As a dollar poll
tax will not care much whether he votes or
not. And he who values il at what it should
be worth will be willing to pay the dollar
for it. We protest against the injustice OF
allowing one-togrrh of our people the
privilege of voting away our money and
our rights without so much as sharing the
expense of the election. And we think the
Legislature should enforce a poll tax of a
dollar with acknowledgements as the penalty
OF non-payment.

we'll urged by the South cannot be car
