The State Umiver'sity.-EDr. vaiden's
Plan,
To the Editors Of The Clarion

To the Editors Of the Clarion:
DR.. c. Nj. Walden, with his usual philan-
thropic and general disposition, is here, IN
this bad weather and at his own personal
expenses. for the purpose OF suggesting TO
the Legislature plan by which poor, wor-
thy Mississippi boys may be educated at the
University of Mississippi, and, think, his
plan is not only handsome one but that it
Is entirely practicable.
He proposes that the Legislature shall
make special appropriation of $4,000,
which shall be used in building lot of
small, neat cottages on the niverslty
grounds. These shall be used as lodgings or
homes tor INDECENT and worthy young men
selected from the various counties OF the
State. There are TO be built near these cot
tages store-rooms and cook-rooms, in which
the provisions will be kept and cooked for
the boys. These BOYS are to board them :
selves upon the mess" plan, and live IN
these cottages free OF rent. and the Universe
ty beirg free, the actual expenses would
he so small that The poorest boys of the
State could thds obtain The inestimable
blessings of a University education, because
the actual expenses for boarding at the State
University, upon the "mess plan" has been
proved to be only about four dollars per
month this would be only about thirty-,ix
dollars per session of nine months anu any
boy who deserves an education could easily
make by his own eXertiOnS, that amount Oh
money during vacations of the University
The State cnnld render herself an inval-
liable service in the education OF her poor
boys by the expenditure of a mere pittance.
For what is the small sum of $4,000 to the
great State OF Mississippi?
Let Vaiden's bill be passed give the poor
deserving, am bilious sons of our dead Con-
federate soldiers chance. Let them get an
education. Let them help swell the numbers
of our University, and then let them &C
forth into the free schools of the State as
teachers, and build up our schools, and let
them go into all the duties, callings and pro-
LESSONS now So honorably occupied by their
Predecessors. OCTAVIUS.

Senator Gordon, in voting for the
silver resolutions and declaring his pur-
pose to vote for the remonetizing bill
when it is put on its passage, cautioned
the people not to expect too much from
it should it become law. So far as the
South is concerned, we are free to say
that her expectations of benefits resulting
from the measure are not extravagant.
Her people know that it is not from legls-
lation that relief is to come at once tor
the evils that long years of Republican
misrule have inflicted upon the country,
and particularly upon their own section.
The agitation of the subject will accom-
plish good in ar other way. 1t will bury
the sectional dissensions which have dis
united the South and West too long, and
will bring them into fraternal political
embrace as they are united geographi-
caIly. Their commercial interests are
identical. Their soils are washed by the
same waters. United politically, they
are invincible. They can defy the world,
the flesh and the devil of Radicalism.
With a political ally as powerful as the
great West, the South will be secure
from the vindictive policy that has char
acterized the National legislation for the
past ten years, and may reasonably hope
to participate in the substantial benefits
of the Government to which she is con-
tributing a large share.

Supreme Judge.

To the Editors Of the Clarion:
[ observe with pleasure, in your issue OF
this morning, that the Hon. Thos. j. Whar-
ton has been suggested as a proper success
sor to the Hon. III. T. Simrall, on the Bench
of the Supreme Court. An acquaintance of
nearly forty years with the distinguished
gentleman, authorizes me to say that he is
eminently qualified for the place, and trust
that Governor Stone may, while honorng
him self, ornament the Bench of the Supreme
Court, by the appointment of gentleman
who is at once able, learned and honest; one
WHO'S the peer of any gentleman now on the
Bench, and whose bright escutcheon is alb
solutely stainless. IT ''Tom WHARTON" as
his friends love to call one whose name is
the synonym of all that is honorable and
praiseworthy in men, should receive the
appointment of Justice of the Supreme
Court of Mississippi, the State will secure
the services of gentleman who will WORTH
ly wear the robes long worn by the illustri.

Mr. Davis New Book.

Replying to the charge of hardness in
the appearance OF Mr.. Davis new book, the
Pensacola Gazette says:
We have reason to belive that at the in
ceptlon OF the work, which was commenced
little over year since, it was not antici-
pated that it would be through the press be-
fore this time. The contract with the
Messrs. Appleton allowed ample time to
elaborate the work, ard neither Mr.. Davis nor
his literary assistant in the work of author
ship, spare time or trouble in attaining
accusate and complete details as to every
matter treated. vast mass of documents
nave to be overhauled, and we presume
that amount of correspondence involved is
enormous, for necessary constant letters of
inquiry must be addressed to persons who
were connected with the affairs of the Con-
federate States in civil or military capacity.
we have no idea that either Mr. Davis or the
Messrs. Appleton can be hurried to the issue
OF an incomplete work by the malicious as
PERSONS OF the guerillas of the press.

AUDITORS REPORT. The annual re.
port of Hon. VIM. Fl. Gibbs, as Auditor
of Public Accounts, for 1877, will be
ready for distribution to the Legislature
early next week. The last of the copy
was received yesterday. The heavy la
bors of the Auditors office for the last
few months, aud the unavoidable delay
in the completion of sundry settlements,
are the causes of delay in the issuance OF
this important report. Col. Gibbs makes
even better exhibit than he did in his
last report, which was considered very
good reading by the Legislature and the
public at large. He has discharged the
duties of Auditor faithfully and efficient
ly, and retires from office with the good
wishes of all.

Candor compels us to say that Mr.. E.
A. Burke of Louisiana, has not met the
statements of w. E. Chandler in a man
ner creditable to himself, or satisfactory
to the public. The gravamen of the
charge is that Mr.. Burke was a party to
negotiations at Wormley's Hotel, Wash
ington City, pending the Presidential
imbroglio, which resulted in placing
Republican in the Presidential chair in
defiance of the will of the Nation and of
the vote of Louisiana, Mr.. Burke's own
State. Chandler had charged that
Burke had in his possession an instrument
of writing signed by the high contrac ting
parties to this negotiation and called
upon Burke to deny the charge, or if he
virtually admitted it by failure to deny
it, then to produce the paper for public
inspection. Instead of meeting the
proposition in a manly way, Mr.. Burke
evades it by reply enumerating the dis
reputable things with which Chandler
stands Ono doubt truthfully) charged, but
none of which are pertinent to the matter
in issue. The public does not doubt that
Chandler is a scoundrel of the deepest
dye. His agency in the Louisiana and
Florida Presidential fraud, as procurer
of perjury and forgery, is amply conclu-
sive as to his character, but what does
this have to do with the matter of the
Wormley Hotel conference and the paper
said to be in Burke's possession setting
forth the conditions whereby the people
were deprived of their rightfully chosen
President and Vice President in 1876 /?

HI. A. M, an observant and intelligent
jackson correspondent of the Memphis
appeal, makes a proper observation
upon the matter of adjournment by our
Legislature. He says:
The real heavy work of the session will
begin when those bills are reported. Sew
eral others, equally important, will also de-
mand attention. A resolution has passed
the Senate looking to an adjournment on
the eighth of February. This is to be dep
recated. The State and people are in no
condition to be burdened with precipitate
legislation. Every measure will be potent
either for good or evil, and should be care
fully inspected and weighed before it is
passed. The only censure that has ever been
cast upon the preceding Legislature is the
shOrtness of their last session. We are to
have no session for two years to come, and
we must do our whole duty and transact all
necessary business now. or we shall put
the State to the Inconvenience and expense
of called session.
Necessarily much of the legislation of
1876 and 1877, in consequence of the
amount to be performed within a short
space of time, was crude and imperfect.
1t will devolve upon the present Legisla-
ture to supply the omissions and correct
the errors of its predecessor. Not the
least of the many importa mt measures
yet to be reported, and acted upon, is the
Revenue law upon which the whole
financial machinery of the State depends.
This subject is in charge of competent
committees in both Houses.
