THE JACKSON COUNTY CONTEST.
ANTS.

Mr.. Graham, of Carbondale, has an
nounced himself, by circular, as a candi-
date for Congress. With all becoming
modesty he deprecates his ability to rep
resent the distri ct as brilliantly as some
other enolder in the party, if not in years,
might represent it. but he has, notwith-
standing his bashfulness, yielded to the
importantly of friends and concluded to
ask the Democratic Congressional District
Convention for its nomination. This he
does, assuring the Democracy that he is
Southern Pacific railroad and Mississippi
river improvement advocate, and that he is
opposed to "black backs" and any limit
upon silver as a legal tender. Mr., Graham
is Il much respected citizen Of Jackson
county, and would, if nominated, poll the
full strength of the party of the
district. But he has formidable gentlemen
of his own county as competitors; and it is
possible that the contest between him and
them may make it the duty of the convcn-
ton to not nominate him or either of them.
This will surely be the result if the contest
between the Jackson county would,bc
Democratic members Of Congress should
become personal. But this result should
not be anticipated, and the nomination OF
either of the Jackson county men would
We believe, result in general rally of the
Democratic voters of the district to the
polls and IA glorious victory.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE,

The Democratic convention of this Sen
atorial district should be held as soon after
the Democratic congressional district con-
ycntion as possible. The ticket of the
party should be completed and the canvass
entered upon without delay. Alexander
county will probably insist upon represcn-
tation on the ticket; and, if so, should pre-
sent Mr., Thomas w. Halliday as her candi.
date. He is in every way qualified for
membership in the General Assembly.
He has clear head and much information
about most of the matters requiring the
attention ofthe legislator. We know no other
man who has better or more thoroughly di.
gcsted opinions concerning the state revenue
laws, and few public men appreciate, as he
he does, the necessity now existing for an
an exercise of wise economy in the admin
istration of public affairs. He is a sound
Democrat of the modern school, a citizen
of exemplary character and man of high
order of intelligence. If Alexander is al
lowed representative on the legislative
ticket, we hope that representative will be
Mr.. Halliday.

The Senate yesterday added to the postal
appropriation bill, as it passed the House,
.wo important amendments. The first pro-
vides subsidy fhalf million dollars for
five years, to lines of steamships between
New York and Brazil and between New
Orleans and Brazil. Those favoring the
amendments were nearly all Republicans,
and those opposing were Democrats. Sen
ator Blaine was the principal advocate of
the sohnnc, and Senator Hamlin of the re.
viyal of the ranking privilege. AS stated
above, the vote was not strictly Il party
vote, and | think it will be still less so in
the House. The bill will pass the House

Anderson shows, was in the keeping of Sen
ator Matthews, whilcthc latter was seeking
to secure office for Anderson. In fact, the
letters of Matthews show as much. 1t was
also with full knowledge of the existence of
such contract that Sherman promised, in

In this way
Alexander county and the city of Cairo
owe to Tom, Dick and Harry more than six
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, draw

pay the annual interest Neither Of them
can pay the principal when due. In
fact both the county and the city are i'm.

the great debts that have been piled
upon them. The court may decide
that the bonds of the county and city are

all the courts in the land cannot make

So, the condition Of affairs is to be deprc,
Gated by both bondholder and citizen.

How can this be obtained ? In this way -
An Association of rich men says to the
city and county,
"Ifyou will add to the principal of your
bonds the interest that has accrued on them
and is unpaid and issue new six per cent
bonds in half the amount, running twenty
years, the interest payable semi-annually,
and, after the first four years, pay, in ad-
dition to the interest, portion of the
principal, so that at the end of die term for
which the bonds were issued, the principal
will be paid--if You will do this, this As
ISOLATION, will, on its part, procure and de-
liver to you, the bonds nov outstanding
In other words, the Association says
IF you will agree to pay half the debts
you owe, will pay off your old debts and
take your new promises to pay"

favorable propositions In our opinion we
! could not.
But, here arises the question: Can We
pay the new bonds?n
To this question the special committee of
the Tax payers Association, after consid-
ering this matter with mNh care and re-
search, gave an affirmative answer. Upon
the conclusion of the committee we are
willing to rely.

the courts require us TO pay a part of the

Let us look at this objection. As
we understand the bond matter, we
are not paying, because we have
not the ability to pay. If the debt was re-
duced one-half, we could and would pay
Therefore it would be wise to issue for the

WARRINGTON, June Mr.. Mcmahon
has submitted the following syllabus of his
opinion in regard 10 the effect of the recent
discoveries upon the validity of the electoral
certificates before the commission from the
State of Loui>ian,:
First-Thc constitution OF the United
States article l2 amendment requires that
the electors shall make district lists Of all
persons voted for Is president and of all
persons voted for Is vice-presidcnts.
Sccond-Thc law section 1879. Revised
Statues requires that the electors shall
send up the certificates, as made by them,
and certify upon each that the lists of all
the voters of sue. state given for president
and all the votes given for vicc-prcsidcnt
are contained therein.
The genuine Kellogg certificate No.
did not comply with the abOve-ouotcd law.
District lists were not made out in but one
district, nor did this certificate contain up-
on the envelope the certificate above re-
CURED by section 1870. To remedy these
defects in the genuine document new ones
