1t is estimated that very large
portion of the greenback revenue set
apart to redeem the fractional currency,
will never be called for, in consequence
of the "shin-plasters" lost and
destroyed. 1t is believed that
$15,OO0,O0O is not an exaggerated esti-
mate to place upon this sum. There is
an erroneous impression that similar
losses of National Bank bills inura to the
profit of the bank issuing them. On the
CONTRARY, the loss of National Bank
bill is as much to the profit of tie Gov
ernment as the loss of one of its own is
sues. The banks are responsible, to the
Treasury with bonds for colaterall for
the bills which they took out They
must pay back the full amount, or an
equivalent, if they wish to take up their
bonds.

Your committee Respectfully submit that

Your committee respectfully submit that
some more vigorous and efficient means
should be iDaugurated to enforce the collCc-
ton of taxes on these completed defaulting
railroads.
The entire line Of the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad did not, it is believed, cost exceed
ing $l0,000,0O0. 1t runs through a farming
country of unsurpassed fertility from about
one hundred miles north of Mobile to its
northern terminus on the Mississippi river
at Colum bus, Ky. Its gross annual earn
ings can not fall below $4,000. 900 and may
expenses should not exceed two-thi-ds Of
nett revenue of from 100000 to 1000, 900.
Besides, that portion of this road lying
within the borders of this State has superior
local patronage over its Alabama division,
which is made to pay tax to the State of
Alabama. 1t Is also believed that the local
earnings of the road in the State of Mssis-
sippi exceed the local earnings of the same
number of miles In either of the oil her States
through which the road passes, and did not
cost an average more per mile. A fair esti-
mate OF its cost upon cash basis aud a
proper estimate OF the operating expenses

The Narrow Escape of the Lien
Law.

The lien law has escaped repeal by
scratch. A bill to repeal that portion of
it authorizing deeds of trust to be given
upon growing crops, passed the House
by decisive vote, and was defeated in
the Senate by only two votes. Public
opinion in favor of doing away with the
law has developed so rapidly that it is
impossible not to see the hand writing on
the wall, forecasting that result at the
next meeting of the Legislature,
and the occasion should suggest
the importance of making in time such
preparation as the new policy will re-
quire. Deprived Of the basis of credit
derived from growing crops, land owners
and farmers will find their only protec-
ton in the production of supplies of
food for man and beast that they have
been in the habit of purchasing from
their merchants. The repeal will operate
alike upon laborer and proprietor. Real
estate possesses no fixed value, and has
ceased to be such security as merchants
would be willing to take. Lands and
houses are not convertible into money,
and hence the largest landowner, as we'll
as the poorest laborer, will have to pro-
vide himself with means of subsistence
produced from the farm, or with the
money wherewith to purchase supplies.
One effect of the change will be to
substitute hired labor for labor on
shares another will be to restrict
the credit system which always en-
courages extravaganza and generally
results in poverty and distress. 1t is
temptation to one party TO demand exor-
bitant prices and to the other to purchase
what is not essentially needed. With
more general adoption of the hireling
system, labor will become more efficient
and under better control; farms will be
improved, and valuable time will be
saved both to employer and laborer.
Crops will be diversified. Our people
will become self-sustaining, and will
from necessity develop the resources of
their marvelOusly blessed State, than
which there is none more Astounding in
the elements of comfort and prosperity.
Having closely observed the indica.
tons of public sentiment in reference to
the lien law, and seen the inevitable
tendency toward its repeal, we have
deemed it proper to write this timely
warning to all concerned to begin put
ting their houses in order.

compare favorably with that of his most

much work for him to do, and which
will not fail to remember his ability and
devotion to her interests.

House generally for kind and courteous
bearing toward the colored members of

the good will that exists between the

A Protest Against the NAOfIett Reg

JACKSON, February 2S, 1873.


To the Editors of the Clarion:
Permit me to express my astonishment,
which | am confident is shared by large
number ofyOur readers, at the course "t the
Senate in regard to the proposed Moffett
Liquor Register Bill.
Twice the House has, in an unmistakable
manner manifested its decided disapproba-
ton o the proposed measure, and now we
are told that the Senate, not content with
burdenir9 the school law with the obuOX-
Gus bill, proposes to further delay necessary
legislation by tackiDg it on 70 the appropri-
alton act. While some. at first, looked with
favor upon the proposed registry bill, chiefly
because of its novelty, and having heard that
its workings in Virginia were satisfactory
On reflection ninety nine out OF one hum
dred have come to the conclusion til at it l.
calculated only to benefit the inventor of
the machine, who asks an appropriation of
$4,000 to commence with. The press of
Virginia now Genounce the thing as failure
and it cannot be d-nied that the success
of such measure is exceedingly douftfnl
1t will open the doors TO and encourages
faud, or will render necessary a small army
of office holders heretofore unknown TO our
people; it will have a tendency to convert
hon st citizens into spies it will neverthf-
less be evaded especially in sparsely settled
localities, and will have decided tendency
to demoraliZe the people, while after few
months the public revenue Will be lessened
instead of increased by its operations.
The services of skilled mechanics will
constantly be required to keep the registers
in order. and when they are out of repair
the business of whisky selling will con-
tinue; thus will an incentive be offered to
INSCRIPTIONS dealers to wiliully injure the
machines. and the detection of such of
lenses will be almost impossible.
There are a hundred other objections
which l might urge, but suffice IL to say that
in conclusion that the proposed bill
discrimiBates harsbly against a class of cit
izens who contribute largely to the public
revenue, and who, though their calling,
may to denounced as immoral have among
their number many honorable and generous
persons who are always upright in business
transactions, and who never turn deaf ear
to. the appeals of the poor and needy and who
as Democrats, vote ''the straight ticket"
and always contribute at least as literally
as men of any other calling to she cause
which you and /, Messrs. Editors. have so
much at heart. Let liberal tax be INIT
posed on the liquor traffic, but o not infiic
upon us the obnoxious Moffett Registry
law, which will prove a curse to the coun-
try in the estimation at least of
LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

With the adjournment of the Legis-
lature, The DAILY CLARION is discon-
tinued. We have endeavored, during
the two months of its publication, to
keep it fully up to public expectation,
in all its departments, and we are graft
fed to know that our efforts were appre
ciated. To the press of the State
especially do we desire to tender our
Acknowledgements for their good opinion
so often expressed.
The WEEKLY CLARION will be devo-
ted for few issues, almost exclusively,
to the publication of the most important
acts of the Legislature, after which, it
will resume its usual variety of family
reading and general news.

The Legislature adjourns after la
borious session of two months We will
hereafter epitomize the measures which
it adopted. 1t has pursued strictly the
line of reform to which the Democratic
party stands pledged, and by which it
has been guided since the overthrow of
the Republican party. The present
session, avoiding extremes, has adhered,
almost invariably to the safe middle
course. Among its other good acts, it
has reduced the taxes even lower than
the moderate standard of 1875 and 1877.
Fortunate indeed will it be for the people
if their Legislatures in future are com
posed of men as sound in judgm ent, as
wise in counsel, and as patriotic as the
present Assembly.

Lieutenant Go,ernor Sims.

The Senate last night, in a very ap-

probation of their presiding officer,
Lieutenant Governor, VIM. H. Sims. His
natural and uniform courtesy, his &C

the ease, grace and facility with which
he discharged the onerous duties of his

had occasion to visit the Chamber.
While we favored the Constitutional
Amendment to abolish the office of Lieu
