The following is the clause of the ag-
ricultural lien law which the House has
voted to repeal:
SECTION 2. 1t shall be lawful for persons
to make and execute mortgage or deeds of
trust upon growing crops, or upon crops to
be grown, within fifteen months from the
making of such mortgage or deed of trust,
which incum orange shall be binding upon
the interest of said mortgagor or grantor in
such crop, but shall not be in any case prior
to the liens hereinbefore provided for in this
act.
The bill repeats this section, to take
effect from and after the LIST of January,
1879, thus giving to all parties concern
ed an opportunity to make preparation
for the change. The action of the House
seems to be wise solution of the ques-
On.

THE Monitor has the proceedings of
the South Mississippi Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION at Crystal Springs. The Asso-
citation has adopted for its government
a constitution and bylaws, and is devoted
to the objects set forth in its title. A
committee was appointed by the Legis-
lature and also another to negotiate with
the n. O. q n. Railroad Company
for reduction in freights to the Northern
and Western cities, and satisfactory as
surances have been given by the compa-
ny. The fruit culture is becoming an
important industry in the belt, of which
Crystal !Springs is the centre, and we
are gratifed to note that those who have
engaged in the business have been en-
couraged by their past success to redouble
their eforts. 1t brings many thousands
of dollars into their Golfers at the season
of the year when it if most needed, and
adds greatly to the attractiveness of that
region.

About School Books.

To the Editors of the Clarion:
write TO say that | concur most heartily
in your recent utterances in regard to the
text books to be used in our Public Schools.
They should be selected carefully and delib-
erately BY the State Board OF Education, and
when so selected, they should not be chang
ed in less than five years, nor then unless
better books are found to supercede
them. Besides securing entire uniformity
throughout the State, parents and guardians
will save many thousands of dollars annu-
ally. Under our present ridiculous system
every County Superintendent has his own
particular text books, and the result is, that
the children have new books to buy nearly
every session. l will not say that the pub
fishers OF school books bribe County SUI
perinten,lents to change from old to new
tey books, but will say changes are too
frequently made,and as County Superintend-
ents only receive about three hundred dollars
per annum. for their services, many people
are puzzled to know how some Superintend-
ents manage to do so much with their
small salaries.
These Superintendent may all be honest,
| hope they are, but if they are honest and
UrnpCatIon, 1t VIII 90 tnem no naruI
to remove tie ptation out of their way.
Let the Legislature enact in the new
school law, a brief clause empowering the
Stare Board of Education to select and de
clare what books shall be used in the Pub
lie Schools of Mis-, issippi; that when Sc
lected they shall not be changed TO- five
years, and we shall kill two birds with one
stone. We shall save thousands to the PEG
pie annually, establish entire uniformity in
our educational system, and above and be-
yond all rule, we shall break up the corrupt
| and demoralizing system which many now
| believe debauches County Superintendent
by regular course of jobs and bribery.

We have been looking anxiously for a
report from the Senate Committee on
Railroads, to whom was referred the res
olution of Mr.. King, instructing the com
mittee " to ascertain and report the
number of miles of each railroad in this
State and the value thereof per mile !;
also the value of the rolling stock, de
pots, tracks, etc., of each road, and
whether all Of said roads, or any of them,
pay State, county or municipal taxes,
and if any of them do pay taxes, what
taxes do they pay, and the amount
thereof per mile of said roads, and if any
them do not pay taxes, why they do not"
In the absence of the report here called
for, we have taken the trouble to obtain
information upon one branch of the in
quiry, viz: the number of miles of rail,
way in the State and the value thereof,
as follows: Length, value per mile, and

The Visiting Statesmen ana tne
Trial of the Returning
BOarders.

The course of Sherman, Matthews,
Garfield, and other prominent Republi
can and Administration leaders in the
trial and conviction of Anderson, the
Returning Boarder, is without a parallel
in partisan unscrupulousness and audac
ity. They have declared the innocence
of convicted criminal and have pre-
sumed to interfere with the execution of
Justice under the laws of Louisiana. Sec
rotary Sherman himself has abused the
privilege of the press association and
used it to send an insolent manifesto to
the country through the public journals,
teeming with vituperation and falsehood.
Nevertheless, audacity itself was not
equal to the task of denying what was as
palpably evident as the light of the sun
at noon-day, that the returns of the
Louisiana election were altered, "elimina
ted" is the word with which he expresses
tu,o high handed ofense against the laws
of Louisiana and the right OF the people
to have their votes fairl y counted; but
eliminate" does not yet embrace the
idea, for it was established that votes
were not only taken from the returns,
but numbers were largely added to them
until a Democratic victory of eight
thousand under the hands of these skill
full manipulators became Democratic
defeat and a Republican triumph which
changed the actual result of the Presiden
tal election. The plea of the Secretary
of the Treasury, that the Returning
Boarder was hurried to prison" and
denied the opportunity of making prep
aration for his trial, is equally unbound
ed as the other pretences set up in his be-
half For months, this trial has been
pending; it has been the talk of the
whole country, and Anderson has had
abundant notice that his case would be
| judicially decided. The jury was COM
posed of intelligent, unbiased citizens of
his own vicinage, two of them celored,
and were supposed to regard him with
undue favor
But after all, the. conduct of these
Republican leaders is not surprising.
They are responsible in part for the
crimes of Anderson and his confederates
They went to New Orleans t., aid, abet
and encourage them, and the proof that
the criminals were promised rewards, is
furnished in the fact that Anderson and
Wells were provided by the Administra-
ton with lucrative offices, even while
resting under well founded suspicion of
this foul infamy. They are arraigned at
the bar Of public opinion, if not before
the Courts of Louisiana.
