Harry Taylor for the Legislature.

The last Clarion contains a call for FL. M.
Taylor, Esq, of Jackson, to become can
didate for the Legislature, and the mems
ton of his name has apparently met a uni
verHal response. Everybody is now sur
prised that he has not been called out before.
Harry Taylor has been citizen of Jacks
son for twenty years, pursuing the quiet
and unostept atious avocation of a boss
householder, intrenching himself by de-
grees in the confidence and respect of the
community, until he has achieved posie
ton second to no man in the county. He
would arouse an enthusiasm that few other
men could stir up, and add a strength to
the Democratic ticket that few Others could
give. He is not an office-seeker, but the
boys seem determined to put him through,
and if the Convention nominate him we
have every reason to believe that he will
consent to run the race, and in that event
Kinds county may look out for another
Sam Thomas Waterloo for him. He will
carry the county with sweep, and make
one of the most sensible and practical legis-
lators to be found in the State.

The name of Jefferson Davis will be pre-
sented to the Mississippi Legislature as
candidate for United States Senator. Inc
recent speech made at the press meeting
is the opening shot. -Memphis AVaianche'
That's all you know about it. The name
of Jefferson Davis will not DO presented to
the Mississippi Legislature with his consent,
and there are fully ninety-nine chances in
hundred that it will not be presented at all.
In the first place, Jefferson Davis does not
want the position. Any Office the people
could give him would be for him stepping
down from the proud throne he now holds,
without rival, in the hearts of Mississip>
pians The people of Mississippi love him,
and they have honored him in the past as
they have honored no other man, and to-
day they revere him as they revere no other
man. 1t is not necessary for them to send
him to the United States Senate to prove
their appreciation. That stands confessed,
They would prefer not to sully the proud
record and grand fame of their heroic ex-
chief, by subjecting him again to the tread
mill of politics, And he would himself
shrink from this descent as foreign to his
wishes or tastes
In the second place, Mr.. Davis's disabili-
ties have not been removed, and it requires
a two-thirds vote of Congress to remove
them. If Republicans in the Senate and
House of Representatives in Congress have
nursed their animosity and hate SO well as
to enable them to vote for the exclusion of
Mr.. Davis from the pension accorded to
Mexican veterans, it is hardly reasonable
to suppose that they could afford to vote
for the removal Of his disabilities SO that
he could take his seat in the Senate. His
election, therefore, would result in no good
to him, and only serve to deprive The State
of Senator.
Mr.. Davis understands these points, and
don't even consider the possibility of the
Legislature putting him forward for that
office. He is outspoken in favor of another
man who is a candidate. His best friends
are not pressing his name before the coun-
try in connection with the Senatorship,
and he would not desire the post even if all
difficulties were removed

GRENADA, June 8, 1879.
Hon James G. Hall Sardis;
DEAR SRI have received yours of the
31st ult., and thank you for the evidence of
your good will which it affords.
My estimate of the responsibilities which
devolve upon a United States Senator is
such that really have no desire to assume
them, but if 1 should be chosen l will serve
the State as best can.
believe you will concur with ne that
the following reasons, which will prevent
me from seeking this high honor, are suf-
ficient: find in myself no such peculiar
fitness for the place as seems to me to make
my election matter of public Importance,
and the views l hold as to the duty of a
citizen in respect of the public service for
bid me to ask for a high public trust on
purely private grounds-for mere personal
advancement.
would not contribute to the introduce
ton into the pending canvass of any issue
involving the mere choice between indi-
viduals holding the same political faith,
when it would seem all needless divisions
among Democrats ought, especially at this
time, to be avoided.
Whoever is actually the choice of the
people of the State for this high post of
duty, ought to be called to it, and the will
of tho people should have the opportunity
to find free expression, unaffected by any
direct or indirect effort on my part to edu-
cate sentiment in my own favor. If I
am not their real choice, 1 sincerely desire
to avoid the burden of official response

You are at liberty to publish this letter,
which contains the substance of what ]
have said to all who have approached me
about the Senatorial election. With no
others have discussed the subject.
Yours very truly,

THE plaintiffs did not introduce any evil
dence tending to show sale OF goods 70
the defendant. The transaction shown was
a c01ssig7,nsent and not safe, ana inc ct,se
made by tho pleading was not sustained ny
the evidence. .;
It is to be regretted that the declaration d
was not SO drawn as to entitle the plaihtinisS,
TO avail of the ''actual cause of complaint
they had against defendant; or that an
amendment of the declaration was not
asked for, SO as to avail of the state OF case
presented by the evidence, but 1t Is clear
that, upon the evidence, no recovery coulo
be had by the plaintiffs under their DECLARE
tion The transaction between plaintiffs
and defendant was not ''sale or return,
as argued by counsel. In such case title
passed to the bargainee, and if he does not
exercise his option to return, the sale
stands, and being sale, it may be that
assumpsit for goods sold and delivered Is
maintainable: but here there was no sale.
No title passed to the defendant, who was
the mere bailee of tho goods, accountable
to his bailor, it is true, but not liable Tor
goods sold and delivered.

b. j. BARRIER.
Error to the Circuit Court of Lauderdale
county, Hon. j. s. Hamm, Judge.
This was an action of assumpsit by de-
PENDANT in error, against plaintiff in error,
for the value of lot of cotton bought by
the latter, on which the former held deed
of trust
Plaintiffs in error are merchants at Meri-
dian. in Lauderdale county, where they
bouoLt the cotton. Defendant in error
lives in Neshoba county, where the cotton
was raised and the deed of trust recorded.
It was claimed that the deed of trust
would not bind the cotton outside OF the
county in which it was recorded. Also,
that as defendant in error was only the
usee in the deed of trust, he could not re-
cover, that the trustee alone could bring
the suit. 1t was further claimed, that this
action could not lie that the suit should
have been Ia rem.
CAMPBELL, j.
Held--
l. The result reached in the Circuit
Court in this case is correct.
3. The fact that the cotton was sold in a
county other than that in which the deed of
trust was recorded, did not release it from
the deed of trust.
3. A deed of trust does not create mere
lien. 1t confers title, and after condition
broken, the legal title is in the grantee, and
he may maintain any action which an
owner can maintain
4. As the defendant in error is the per>
son benefcially interested in the pro ,eeds
of the cotton, and would properly be the
usee of an action in the name of the trus-
tee for the value or the cotton, we disre-
gard mere form, and hold that the action
was properly brought by him.
Judgment affirmed.

New Paper.

We are informed that the National
Greenbackers at Byram have purchased
printing office, and will in few days issue
a paper threfrom advocating their measures
and principles We have thought for a
number of years that paper was needed
in that part of the county, and we are glad
to know that one is to be issued SO soon,
and that it will be in the hands of gen
tleman so competent to make it success
as well as a credit to themselves and the
county. We wish great success to the new
candidate for favor.-Hinds 90. Gazette.
The wonder is that the necessity and
demand for paper at Byram have not been
seen before. That's the reason why The
Byram mari bed has not been developed.
A paper is necessary to vindicate the re-
sources of the mari bed of Byram Byarm is
situated on beautiful plain near the bank
of Pearl river. few inches above overflow,
but with all the malarial advantages which
a Pearl river fiat can boast, The soil im-
around Byram is productive-in
craw-ish and musical frogs. The popu-
lation of Byram numbers about IS souls,
except Immediately after swamp fever
visitation, and then its roll call is about 25.
No wonder they want Greenback organ
there. 1t will take something like the
financial strategy of Genl West or Covers
nor Brown to interject greenbacks into
Byram. A Greenback organ, however,
may save Byram. If it fail on the Green
back programme there is the mari bed to
fall back on; and, after all, it may be that
the Greenback hobby is a mere blind to
catch the ear of the public, and that the
mari bed is the real object of assault. In
our opinion this is the true solution of the
new paper enterprise at Byram. 1t will os-
.ensibly claim to be Greenback organ,
but in reality it will be q mari bed organ

Chancery Court of Noxubee county moved
in said court for an allowance to himself of

1. By the fee bill of the Code of 1857,
the Circuit Courts were authorized to make
such allowance to the Circuit Clerks upon
the presentation of detailed fee bills APP
proved by the District Attorney, but al
though the clerks of the Chancery Courts
were declared entitled ''for all other ser
vices (after the specification of some of
their duties) to the same fees as are allowed
Clerks of Circuit Courts for similar ser>
vices, this did not entitle them to the &C.
96lcj0 allowance of fifty dollars per annum.
The two Courts were at that time blended
into one, with but one clerk and one Judge. |
Because the State paid no costs in State |
cases there was allowed the clerk in the |
Circuit court, upon the approval of the Dis |
trlct Attorney, this extra sum of fifty dol |
lars per annum, to recompense, to that
extent, his services in such cases.
3 The law given, enumerated few only |
of the duties and fees prescribed for Chan |
Gerry Clerks, and referred as to all others, |
to those provided for Circuit Clerks. This |
did not embrace the extra allowance of |
fifty dollars per annum to be granted on |
the approval of the District ATTORNEY in the
Circuit Court.
8. BY Sl3G1 of the Code of 1871, the
several Boards of Supervisors were author
lied to make to the Chancery Clerks, an
annual allowance of fifty dollars, and also
the compensation of three dollars per day
for their services in those tribunals
4. In the act of March 9Th, 1875, by
which the fees of all officers were revised
and established, this authorization to the
Boards of Supervisors to make such allow
ances was omitted; but by the act Of july
3lst, 1875, it was declared that ''Clerks Of
the Chancery Courts, and Sheriffs, shall
receive the same compensation for ca. OficiO
services, as was allowed prior to LIST of
January, 1872 So far as Chancery Clerks
are concerned, this revived only their right
