STAUNToN, Va, Dec. 10, 1877. !
Isaac N. Ellis Esq
DEAR SIR-Your note calling my attel-
ton to an article in the Jackson CLARION
on the distribution of the Peabody Educa
tional Fund, is just received. l was greatly
surprised at iGs contents, As soon as
learned the reduction of our income for the
present year notified all the State Super
interdents the fact Ny brief and hurried
note to Superintendent BardWell has since
been supplemented by 4 fuller statement.
Had [ supposed the note would be published
/ should have weighed my words more
carefully, a nd written so that no one could
have taken Offtnse, where none was in
tended.
What 1 said about the distribution in
Mississippi is in strict accordance wjt& the
facts. BY our published rates, heartily APP
proved by Mr.. Peabody, aid is given only
where certain conditions are fulti!led-cOn-
ditions which were designed best TO promote
the interests of public schools in all the
States. Our rule is to help those who help
themselves, and to help them most in those
years, whether early or late, in which they
make the greatest eXertions in the way of
progress. Those States which have received
most, because they have done most, will
receive less hereafter; and those which
have received little will receive more when
ever the best time to aid them shall arrive.
Last year, and for several ears before,
we had about 100000 income; and yet we
could give assistance to only about Onehalf
of the schools which complied with al our
rules, in The different States, and asked for
aid. In two or three States we aided every
school, or nearly every one, which made
such application. This is especially true
of Mississippi. Having ouly about 100000
to distribute this year, we thought it uE-
wise to reduce our rates Il the several
classes of schools beyond what was
done in most of the states, es-
ppcially Virginia, Tennessee and West
Virginia last year. The superintendent in
these States reduced our published scale one
half and in many instances two thirds. We
could not reduce further without giving so
thin covering of the whole area as to rem
der it nearly worthless to each school.
What was more natural or proper than to
continue our assistance where the greatest
number of schools had been refused in past
years, and to withhold it one year where
every, or nearly every, application had been
accepted? 1t may not be improper 10 add
that men whose character and position en-
title them to the highest respect, have given
it as their opinion that the time has not yet
come to. give largely to Mississippi. If this
is an error on their part shall be most hap
ply to have it corrected. You are at liberty
to make such use OF this letter as may seem
to you proper.
Yours very respectfully,
B. SEARS, General Agent.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-01-30

as any thing manufacturers, and as such come
in, as a natural consequence, your idle,
thrifless. shifty inhabitants will take up
their traps and move out to other quarters
or give up those ways and become converted
into good aud useful citizens
Some may say we are are too enthusiastic
and paint the picture in too glowing colors,
but we have seen such changes in other
places and hope to live and see like change
in the great State OF Mississippi
In conclusion we would say to your Leg
islature go I'd work on the question, look
it fairly in the face, discuss the question
and We think then you cannot help but do
something good for the cause of immigra-
ton. You know your State needs 1t, and
that very badly. Then gentlemen do not be
parsimonious on the subject, give literally
for a good cause. and when given see that
it is spent judiciousiy and to proper end.
Have a good man at the head OF your bu-
reau aud 'all will be well.'
Apologising for so long a communication,
we arc Yours respectfully,

TEE NursHELL ARauNENr.

To the Editers of the Clarion:
Some opposition has been shown against
extending the time for the redemption of
lands forfeited to the State under tax sales.
The only argument offered is one of re-
taliatory sort: "We have paid our taxes,
let delinquents suffer"
Yes, and had their delinquency arisen
from fixed purpose TO wrong the treasury,
that might sound, and really be, very well.
But while there are few belonging to that
class. nlneteen-twentieths belong TO a class
of persons almost wholly unable to pay. and
who were by legal ddUiseTs Informed that
they would not be molested, and at a future
day they could pay, and prevent cloud up
on their property.
But, suppose the harshcr measure of hold
ing the lands for sale to what in the Senate
was called ''the sharks" rather than give
the poor owners one more chance for life,
will that help the prompt tax payer? Not
in the least; not one penny. Rather will
react upon him with increasing loss and
damage. How? The State, for Illustration,
must raise 81 100000 by taxes on lands an
nuslly The delinquent list shows de-
felt of 100000. This last sum, say was
and will be paid by them next year. and in
1--WE years they will have paid Sl.000,000.
For if no hope or encouragement is offer
ed to 6elinquents to save their property,
and they are made to feel that their own
Legislature is their hardest master and
greatest oppressor, no steps will be taken
to recover their losses.
If, however, the people are allowed till
next December TO pay up, they will here
after feel that the tax land is no mere scare
crow as illegal advisers have led many to
suppose, and they will pay their just pro-
portion of the $1,000,000 necessary to be
raised for State purposes. So really, it is
not oppression TO prompt taxpayers to al
low more time, but every way in their in
terests, and they ought to advocate it for
their own relief. ''Sharks'' only can profit
by an opposite policy.
The late decision of our courts confirming
regular tax sales, has taken the country by
surprise, and caught thousands of crushed,
suffering over taxed, almost beggared
widows, orphans and citizens in a helpless
condition. They might, If the opportunity
is allowed, redeem their lands and warned
by the decision of our courts, would hardly
ever again allow any legal adviser to lead
them astray. MIssIssIPPIAN.
