Un,cisc Legislation Forced Upon Us.


Un;cisc Legislation. Forced Upom Us.
Pioneer Press, March /, 1876-Before it had
been ''seen.
::If, then, the bill is bound to pass in spite
of all prudent, all constitutional authority,
all governmental propriety, and all regard for
the character and excellence of the books
that are to be used in the schools for fifteen
years, we hope that on all accounts the sec
ton giving per diem to the commissioners
who are to supervise all the extensive and
complex machinery for inaugurating the
scheme, will be restored. But the number Of
such commissioners should be reduced to
three. or, at the outside. to five; and these
should be appointed, as is customary in such
cases, by the governor. IL we must have
this unwise legislation forced upon us in be-
half of few spectators in book-writing or
book printing, let us by all means see that it
is guarded by all proper limitations, and as
nearly as possible entrusted to men who will
do the best they can in work which will
necessarily be done very poorly.

minneapolis Tribune
The Pioneer Press is doubtless quite hon
est and quite public spirited in its champion
ship of the school text book bill but it strikes
us that it is a trife weak when it avails itself
of the common and cheap resort of the per-
sons who are made unhappy by the views of
a newspaper, and allege as this last and
cinching argument that ssof course it has
been BOUGHT up" It may be the school
book publishers, or the ssring,'' or whatever
you call them or that they deserve to be
called, are substituting cheap news
papers, to aid the1a to defeat the
Merrill bill, but We trust the Pioneer
Press does not mean to intimate that the
papers which condemn the whole textbook
bill as contrary to sound policy and true
economy, and as surrender of republican
simplicity to paternal or sspapa'' government
are necessarily among the subsidized. The
Pioneer Press will allow us to recall to its
decaying memory the fact that when the
textbook bill first came before the Legisla-
ture in 1876 it unlimbered its whole bate
ries and fairly riddled the measure out OF
existence. It was doubtless to these power
full assaults of the great st. Paul columbiad
that the defeat of the bill was then due.
The next winter the bill came
up again, however, and meanwhile
the Pioneer Press, as many another in
dependent journal has done before tex
perienced change Of heart. and either
maintained judicious silence or helped the
scheme along BY such mild arguments as, in

THE news in relation to tile war
between England and Russia is so
conflicting that it is hard to tell
what a day may bring forth. One
day the dispatches TEEN with
trightful minors of war and blood
shed, and the next all is calm and
serene. Mr.. Welsh, minister at
London, t~elegraphed to Washing
ton on Wednesday that there is a
sudden change in the foreign out
look for the worse, and a declara.
ton of war between England and
Russia may be made in the next
few days. The dispatch caused
some establishment, as it was
thought that the aspect was peace
able. BY tomorrow, however, we
may hear that there is no PROBABLE
ity of a fight. In our opinion the
case stands thus: England is
afraid to declare war, and Russia
.s glad of il.

ENGLAND, so the London Times
thinks, is in no danger of injury by
Russian privateers fitted out in
United States ports, as in the event
of an Anglo Russian war the Amer
lean government would be honor
able and consistent enough to abide
by the laws of neutrality, and es-
peeially to observe the provisions
Of the treaty of Washington, under
which Great Britain paid fifteen
million dollars damages for the
operations of Confederate cruisers.
There appears NO flaw in this rea
soning.

THE GREAT FRAUD.

The resolution of investigation
in the presidential election fraud,
which was introduced In the na.
tioDal house Of representatives by
Mr.. Potter, of New York, on the
10Th, is u of the most important
measures in the history of our
country, and n which is going to
draw out many facts never before
dreamed of even in this age of
rascality and deception. Very
naturally the republicans are
swift to declare the S re-
evolutionary and calculated to dis
turb the peace aud tranquility of
the nation, and We are sorry indeed
to see that some of our democratic
brethren are joining in with these
men, who would rather tolerate
fraud and see the constitution of
the United States violated than to
have fraud exposed.
We do not believe the peace of
the nation will be endangered by
an investigation into the election
of the president, for it only propo-
ses TO uncover certain alleged lille.
gal transactions, which a majority
of the intelligent people of this ia.
ton believe to have been perpetra.
ted and, if the investigation rero-
lutionizes or disturbs anything, it
will certainly be the fraud and that
which has been founded upon fraud.
Therefore, We say let congress go
deep down into this matter, and let
all true democrats who value hon.
esty, integrity and allegiance to
the constitution greater than per.
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, 60 heartily
the affair aud bring out the
facts. If Mr.. Hayes has been hon
estly elected, surely an investiga-
ton cannot injure him, but OIL the
contrary would remove all suspi-
cion from the minds of the people,
aud if upon a careful and impartial
it is found he was placed
where he is by unfair and illegal
means, let him be removed.
We have noticed a disposition on
he part of some democrats in con-
5ress, to shirk responsibility in this
natter, and try to assume a non.
position with reference
the Investigation, which certain
y looks very bad in the eyes of our
and which will not give
hem popularity in the South, as
he feeling, so far as we have been
BILE to ascertain, is that a search
ne and thorough examination
,hould be gone into, and the demo.
rat who tries to evade the question
stands Il slim chance ever to be re-
.urned to the halls of congress.
Dur members of congress will be
carefully watched throughout this
proceeding, and their votes noted
lpon every proposition, and the
IAN who dare betray his party, his
ountry aud his constituency upon
his question will be just so sure
retire to the shades of private ,
fe as 1T remains within the power ;
Southern democrats to place him r
iere. -,

WE have heard several com.
plants recently from our subscri,
bers about not receiving their
papers. Postmasters and route
agents will bear in mind that they
are paid for attending to their du.
ties, and at the same time are
closely watched, and it would lie
well to attend strictly to business.
In transcribing the names on our
subscription books some may pos
sibly have been overlooked, as in
transferring such a large list errors
are likely to occur. II any have
to receive their paper they
will please notify us that all mis-
may be corrected.

THE Vicksburg Herald saws ma

The Vicksburg Herald says pat.
ent-Outside, or inside, newspapers
have recently received a fearful
blow in Illinois and Indiana. The
courts have decided that such pa
pers are not "printed within the
county, under the intendment of
the statute" and consequently that
commissioners, administrators, ex-
ecntors, etc., cannot insert legal
advertisements in them and con-
form with the statute ordering
such publications to be made in
papers "printed within the county,"
A very righteous decision. The
supreme court of Pennsylvania has
decided that notices published in
papers not wholly printed in the
county where issued are not legal.

II is now generally understood that the
radicals will make no nominations for
congress in this State, but watch their OPP
portunities TO get independent democrats
on their track in every district, and then
elect them by the united votes of the dis.
appointed democrats, negroes aud white
skinned radicals. Let honest and fair
conventions be held, and good and true
men nominated, and then brand every
man as n traitor to his party, his race and
his country, who kicks out OF the traces
because he or his particular friend failed
to get a nomination. There always has
been, aud always will be sneaks in our
conventions, who cry fraud when they
fail to get n nomination, and then 20 over
to the enemy with the expectation of get
ting a few crumbs. The republicans
know they cannot elect q single member
in this State on a straight-out republican
ticket, therefore they will call their candi-
date al independent democrat, and unite
with the soreheads TO elect him. We pre-
fer a straight-out radical TO an indepen-
dent all the time.-Brdndoa RepabHoan.
Right, Bro. Frantz; aud il they
think the independent move will
not prove successful then they will
come out under the name of the IA.
tional party, which means the same
thing. The only proper course to
pursue is through the convention
system which has worked very well
and by which meaus We have been
enabled TO throw of the radical
yoke.
In this connection we will say
that we are sorry to e the stand
taken by n good contemporary
the Holly Springs Reporter upon
the subject of nominating conven-
tons. This paper thinks no con,
ventions should be held SO far us
regards the nomination of county
officers, as, it says, they IN non
political. Such doctrine we con-
slider dangerous to the true inter
est of the democratic party, and
would have the tendency OF dis
solving all political ties, and disor-
ganizing the organization which
has, after years OF labor and sacri.
fee, %trampled radicalism under
loot, and placed honest and intelli-
gent men in Office. Let not the
convention system be done away
with either in county, district or
State nominations, but let the par.
y remain united and all will be
we'll.

A just Decision.

The Mississippi supreme court,
on the 9th, rendered a decision in
the case of b. III. Smith VS.. the
State:
Smith, a citizen of Smith county in
this State, applied in August, 1876,
to Busick, Stevens & Co., mer.
chants in Brandon, to buy goods on
credit. He stated that he had a
good crop, was not dealing with
any other merchants, and was in
debted elsewhere to only $40. In
consequence of these representa-
tons, he vas trusted to the amount
OF $50. His representations were
not true. He was at the time in.
debted to much more than $50.
and was, at the time buying goods
on a credit in the town of Morton,
Scott comfy. Six weeks after he
bought the goods in Morton he
went into bankruptcy, and his cred.
itors got nothing. He was indicted
and convicted in the circuit court
OF Rankin county, Of obtaining
goods under false pretenses, and
was sentenced to three years con-
in the pepitentiary.
The case was appealed to the su-
preme court, which tribunal affirm
ed the judgment.

mating convention. The papers in
the district are somewhat divided
as to the place for holding the con
vention, some suggesting Brookha-
ven, and others McComb City,
Magnolia, etc. AS for us we are
not very particular as to the place
of meeting, but if our brethren can.
not agree upon this matter. we
would suggest some town on the
seacOast be selected. Our people
would be happy to meet our fellow
citizens of the district, and then a
visit to the coast, where the dele
gates could all take a splendid
salt bath, might have a good effect
upon their physical condition, and
enable them to wash some of the
mud off their eyes, that they may
see our people as they are.

no more delightful summer resorts any
where than our neighboring coast, lake

True. For comparatively cheap
resort, and one that affords all the
pleasures and comforts of the more
expensive Northern retreats, our
Mississippi coast stands unsurpass-
ed. The hotel accommodations are
ample to accommodate all who may
wish to spend the summer at any
of the several towns on our coast,
and the fare is far more reasonable
than at the Northern watering
places.
