The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1878-01-30

THE Senate of Ohio on Saturday, con-
Cured in the House resolution favoring
the Bland silver bill, and censuring the
President and Secretary Of the Treasury
for their position on the silver question.
Mississippi should lose no time in placing
herself alongside of Ohio and the other
Western States on this question. Besides
its substantial benefits in relieving the
country from financial pressure, it will
secure a "solid" South and a "solid'
West for the Democratic Presidents
ticket in 1880.

The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1878-01-30

By reference to our Senate report of
yesterday, it will be seen that resolutions
instructing the Senators and requesting
the Representatives in Congress from
Mississippi, to vote for the reconciliation
of silver, passed that body by vote
of Is to IL. Resolutions of similar
purport had previously passed the House
without division. The sentiment in the
Senate in favor of reconciliation APP
proximated unanimity; and the only
difference between Snators seemed to be
as to the form af expressing the will of
the Legislature.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. l

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. 1S7S.-Mr. Chal-
mers, of Mississippi, introduces bill to-
day, giving aid to the Texas Pacific Rail
road, making the terminus at Vicksburg
and branches to New Orleans and Mem phis
The bill provides that the Government shall
loan the company $4,000 per mile in green
backs, the loan to be secured by a first
mortgage on the road and equipments. A
land grant is also included, with the right
to build road from Vicksburg to Mem phis,
through the YaZoo valley.
The bill cures most of the objections
made to giving government aid by interest
bearing bonds. This view meets with high
approval.
Lamar, having been instructed by the
Mississippi Legislature to vote for the sill
yer bill, will do so-first making a speech
against the silver dollar, but explaining
that he votes for it because he is instructed
to do SON.. o. Times.

The Christmas Trees.

Notwithstanding the stormy, buster

Grating the walls AMI preparing the
trees to which anticipating children had
been axiously looking forward
for some time. The evening proved
somewhat less clustering than had been
the day, but was yet anything but pleas.
ant. This, however did not deter the
little folks from venturing out on this
to them, one of the most momentous oc.
casions of the year.
At the Town Hall, the Episcopal soci.
ETY. had a beautiful tree bountifu!ly sup
piled and handsomely decorated for the
children of their school. The children
were delighted and made happy. The
exercises commenced at five o'clock. and
the gifts were distributed among the
eager throng, each child in the school
being remembered.
At the Congregational church the
Methodist and Congregational schools
united. The church was handsomely
trimmed and looked better than OH any
former occasion. The tree. very beau
tiful one, was well supplied by the COM
mittee in charge, besides bearing numer-
Gus presents from many persons who
took that method of delivering presents
to their friends. The exercises were
principally confined to the children, and
at the close the distribution from the tree
was made. Old and young seemed to
enjoy the occasion.
