In another column we have printed an
accurate version Of the Silver Bill as it
passed the Senate. 1t differs from the
House bill IN that tho latter provided for
free coinage, VIE ,'r.aet limits it,
We have beforc Ga e.->e d he hope that
the House will stick to its own bill and
if it cannot be passed in that form at the
present session, let it go to the people to
be settled by them. No country ever
suffered from too much currency-pro-
vided it is good.

| trial classes, who constitute I, large majo
ity of our population, should decide to
abolish the free tuition of the University,
what advantage then would the University
have over this Industrial School? There
are those who believe that free tuition
should be limited TO the common schools,
where elementary instruction only is given.
There are some who believe the free tuition
system at the University is an unwise policy,
not only Injurious to the boy in teaching him
| 10 expect support at the public expense,
but especially destructive of the best inter-
ests of the State, as its practical effect is TO
crush out all the classical schools of high
grade in the State, established by pri-
vate enterprise, aud which should be fos-
tered as SO many feeders of the State Uni
versity.
In addition, there is growing sentiment
that, both as a matter of principle and COM
mon justice TO the Taxpayers themselves, it
is wrong for those who cannot leave the
farm or the workshop, but have to labor
daily for the necessares OF life, to be taxed
to educate the sons of those W no are abund-
antly able to educate their own children
for although tuition is free, it is the wealthy
only who can pay other charges and take
advantage of the benefits. "The poor boys
college," as styled by "B.," would by some
be considered a mienomer, aud the title OF
''rich boys college" much more appropri-
ate.
The University is doing an excellent
work for the State and should be literally
sustained. The friends of that institution,
however, will best protect its interests by Il
full recognition of the rights of Others.
There are those, and they constitute no in
considerable number, who believe the best
intetests of the industrial classes demand
the establishment of an agricultural and
mechanical college, aud they are sensitive
under the barriers constantly being thrown
in the way by the special friends and advo-
Gates of the State University. G..

Good Reading for Taxpayers.

This is good reading for the tax pay
ers from the Auditors last report:
1t must be remembered that the tax levy
for the fiscal year 1877, was reduced ~
mills being now mills against 61a mills
in 1876. L am gratitied to be able to report
the fact that while the burden of taxation
las been largely decreased, the receipts have
been sufficient to meet all demands upon
the State Treasury and leave considerable
balance to meet ali accruing expenses.
1t will be borne in mind that the State
tax when the Democrats and Conserva-
tives overthrow the Republican party in
the State, was 50 mills on the
dollar, and the collections were not
enough to defray the expenses of the
State Government at that.

N0dceS OF The Press:
This veteran Magazine, which long ago out
grew it's original title of the NeW Monthly
Maqaziqe has not in the least abated the popu-
larty it won at the outset, but has added to it
in many ways, and has kept fairly abreast of
the times, thanks to the enterprise of the pub
fishers and the tact and wisdom of its editors
For whatever is best and most readable in the
literature of travel, discovery and ficticn, the
average reader of to-day looks 20 Harper's

er of a quarter of century ago; there is the
same admirable variety of contents and the
same freshness and suggestiveness in its edi-
torial departments now as then.-Boston Jour-

Ehe Agricultural College and
State University.

To the Editors Of the Clarion:
| In reply to b." we would state that if
he has read with care the facts connected
with the history of this Agricultural Land
Scrip Fund, in the different States, he must
have observed that the greatest failures in
the accomplishment Of Industrial education
have occurred principally where this Fund
was connected with literary institutions.
| This has been the history in this State even.
Under the gnise of establishing an Agricul-
tural Department, it was attached to our
State University, but the atmosphere sur
rounding this institution was not favorable
to agriculture, and the Trustees wisely abol-
iShed the farce, whilst flourishing law
| tution-sprang up almost spontaneously.
Ii this fraud is still to be absorbed by the
University, then so be it but we sincerely
trust the present Legislature will furnish
no agricultural cloak to conceal the enor-
nifty of the fraud.
But "B.' asks, can the State afford to
spend the sum necessary to start this new
college, when the restrictions upon this
Fund do not allow it to be used for purchas-
lup SIouHuo anu UuilQIngS! Has not the
State already ignored all restrictions in
turning this Fund over to the University.
thus wholly diverting it from the original
object of the grant, and if she can commit
this greater crime, why not this smaller one
also, just. as well? Besides, is not the State
indebted for all the misapplied interest of
this Fund?
Again: 3D." thinks this pr opposed college
cannot compete with the State University.
Certainly no one should regard it in the
light of a competitor. They would occupy
separate and distinct spheres, with different
objects in view. The one furnishes an edu-
cation most befitting those who design en-
tering what is known as the .learned pro-
fessions." The other is designed for the
industrial classes, and intended to qualify
them for industrial pursuits. He who
wishes to make a lawyer of his SON will send
him to the University. If, however, he
wishes him to follow some agricultural or
mechanical calling, then he will send him
to this Industrial College.
But even after all, suppose these indus

We had the pleasure of visit yester-
day from L. NJ. Garrett, Esq, CT the
Cartbogeniam, an enterprising journal,
as many of our readers are aware, pub
lished at Carthage, Mississippi During
his visit, Mr.. Garrett will call upon our
merchants and business men generally,
with view to showing them the import
ance of the trade Of Leake county to the
town of jackson, and the means of en-
couraging it. To large portion of that
county, this place is the convenient and
natural trading point. Probably before
this paper is issued, the steamer Stedman
will arrive at our landing from Carthage,
loaded with cotton for this market. We
understand that if sufficient inducements
are held out by the business men of this
city, her trips will be regular. She
will bring down cotton and return freight
ed with supplies purchased here, pro.
vided they can be had of the description
wanted and on terms as cheap as can be
had at other points accessible to the peo-
pie of Leake and the region contiguous.
The Carthagenian, we may add, by rea-
son of its extensive circulation, will
afford our business men an excellent op-
portunity of making themselves and the
advantages of their market. known to
