rhe s.egi.l..sare.

The. Legislature which meets to day
TUESDAY 18Th, , has many important sub
jeets to consider. Necessarily much of
the legislation enacted at the last two
sessions was crude and imperfect, owing
to the immensely of business requiring
attention. The Legislature was conf
pelled to act at once without standing
upon the order of doing so. Time and
experience have revealed whatever errors
may have been admitted and the pres
ent body will address itself to the work
Of remedying them and of supplying
omissions.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-01-09
THE REvENUE SYSTEM

is of first Importance With taxes i'm
mensely reduced, it has produced means
ample to maintain the credit of the
State, keep its warrants at par and meet
all its liabilities as they have accrued.
Nevertheless, the laws are complex and
defective in many essentials, and require
thorough overhauling.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-01-09
DELINQUENT TAX LANDS,

what to do with them, and how to make
them a source of revenue to the State,
has long been a subject of serious con-
sideraton. These lands are an incum-
brance, and the Legislature will doubt
less devise some measure free from the
errors of the past to rid the State of the
incumbrance without putting premium
upon delinquencies in the payment of
taxes.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-01-09
THE SCHOOL SYSTEM

will require material change, rendering
it more economical by limiting the schools
to the fundamental branches of learning,
reading, writing and arithmetic, and at
the same time diffusing as widely as
possible among all classes, the benefits of
the system.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-01-09
THE LIEN LAW

was originally passed for the benefit of
the agricultural and producing class
which is now clamoring loudest for its
repeal, and they are presumed to be bet
ter informed than others in regard to its
effect. The Legislature is largely COM
posed of members directly engaged in
agriculture, and will be prepared to
adopt such legislation as will be needed
either to repeal the law, or to limit it's
existence.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-01-09
THE SUFFRAGE LAWS,

should be amended so as to require the
payment of a poll tax as the qualif-
cation of a voter, and the proofs of resi-
dence and the possession of that qualifi-
cation to be the receipt for the payment
in the previous year to that in which he
offers to vote. Doubtless by reference to
the Pennsylvania and Georgia laws on
this subject, our Legislators can obtain
excellent models for this reform.

age, as now organized and conducted, is
an inquisition worthy of the dark ages !;
and Is the convenient instrument Of
wrong, malice and uncharitableness.
Its victims are struck in the dark with no
power of resistance until after the mis-
chief has been wrought.
CORPORATIONS
of every description" says the platform
upon which the members of the Legisla-
ture were elected, ARE supervisable by
State authority. and subordinate to State
in the interest and for the
protection of the people" The Legisia-
ture will no doubt take care to carry into
execution this important feature of the
Democratic creed. 1t aceords entirely
with the decision of the highest judicial
tribunal Of the land.
THE PUBLIC Road
avs are either defective or badly en-
forced. The roads are ia wretched
condition in many places cut up into
yullies and impossible ravines, and are
growing from bad to worse.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMEHDMESTs.
One is needed to dispense with
annual elections, and making the cleo
ions of State and county officers conform
o the time fixed by Congress for electing
members to that body. 1t is probable |
hat the contemplated change in the law
f suffrage, making the payment of
,oll tax an essential condition of voting,
an not be effected without a change of
he Constitution. The necessity of such
change, we trust, will induce the Leg
Stature to submit an amendment for that
urpose.
LECTION OF JUDGES By THE PEOPLE.
The present mode Of selecting Judges
y Executive appointment, as we have
efore said, is.anti-democra:ic and CEN
AIRY to the spirit of article 3rd of the
constitution, which separates the depart
ents of the government, and is intended
render each Independent of the other.
he existing mode takes from the people
lie right to select their agents, and subor-
mates the Executive to the judicial de-
artment. 1t is relic of Radical dom
alton which was based upon distrust
popular intelligence and was designed
take power from the people and lodge
In the hands of the favored few. Mis-
ssippi was ens of the first States to
lopt the system of popular election.
Their States, including New York,
ennsylvania, Ohio. North Caroline, etc,
c., have followed the example with the
st results, and the world all consider
abandonment step backward in thel
ogress Of free government. Mississippi
res it to herself to restore this feature In

sgislatnre on the subject is looked TO !

THE STORM.

The tidal wave of financial disaster
did not run so high last week and the
daily morning reports showed graf
flying falling off in mercantile fail,
ares, insolvencies and frauds. But
instead, and infinitely more distress
ing, were the terrible reports Of
storms, shipwrecks and loss of life
which suddenly plunged so many
ooor families into the hearts deepest
sorrow. On Monday night the Ne
tropolis, a large steamer, left Phlla-
de'phia for Brazil with about two
hundred and fifty persons on board
They were mostly laboring men who
were going to Brazil to work on a
new railroad, and parted from their
families in high spirits with the pros
pect of profitable and permanent en-
ployment. On Thursday afternoon
the appalling news was received that
she had been driven ashore III a ter
rife gale on the coast of North Caro-
lima very near where the steamer HUI
ron was recently lost. When the YES
sci struck panic ensued and many
were Immediately swept overboard.-
The first reports gave only fifty as the
number saved. Later reports increase
the number Of saved TO one hundred
and sixty. The terrible disaster has
involved many poor families in Phil
adelphia in poverty and distress
The storm of Thursday swept over
large section of country with great Sc
verify. Many railroads were entire
" blocla!ed and trains stopped for
couple of days. At Coney lslsnd, IL

were swept away and eight person

Since the passage Of the Matthews
silver resolution by the Senate it has
also passed the House by an almost
two thirds vote. This week the bill
for silver coinage has been under dis
cussion and will undoubtedly become
law. The result is that the gold
