A JUST VIEW OF IT.
Washington Post, (Dem. } ]

washington Post, tDem.1
In sheer self-defence, just as they would have
united against an insane man with a torch in
in his hand, or a wild animal, the citizens OF
Yazoo County, without distinction of politics
of color came together and informed Dixon
that he would not be allowed to turn their
peaceful community into another hell. In most
counties such a man would have been hung to
the highest tree nearest lamp-pOst and but
little note would have been made of it. Here,
however, a quiet but determined suppression OF
him has been tortured into prescription of the
worst grade, and Northern papers have printed
columns of denunciaton of what they style 'the
Mississippi Method" Citizens who have com
bined merely to protect their fresides from
rapine and riot are assailed as bulldozers and
Yazoos and Yahoos. The telegraph now brings
us the news that Dixon has been shot in a per
sonal encounter. There dispute, pull
ing of pistols, one more shots, but somebody
was too quick for him, and Dixon fell dead
Perhaps this will be at the end of the troubles
and consequent notoriety of Yazoo. Possibly
not. These statements, however, have been
made to us by one who has had every opportu-
nifty to know that they are true, and we print
them to show to show to four readers the kind
of creatures on whom the Republican papers of
the North have been wasting terms of sympa-

A TIMELY CIRCULAR FROM THE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
EDUCATION

JACKSON, Miss, August 6, 1879.
To Cooaty Superintendeats
| The time for levying a School Tax, as pro-
/ vided in Section So of the School Laws OF
/ 1878, being near at hand, your attention, and
! through you that of your Board of Supervi-
sors is called to Section 5, Article s, of the
State Constitution, which requires that the
! Public Free Schools shall be maintained in
each School District, County, or city consti-
tuting a separate school district at least four
months in each year. Should the funds fur
nished by the State be insufficient for this
purpose, and the Board of Supervisors of your
county fail to make the necessary levee to
cover the deficit, you hereby instructed to
invoke a mandamus for the accomplishment
of this end 1t will not do to say that the full
amount allowed by law has been levied for
other purposes. The language of the Consti-
tuition is plain and mandatory, and no discre-
ton is allowed to Boards OF Supervisors,
Boards of Mayor and Aldermen in cities and
towns constituting separate School Districts.
Section 80 of the School Law requires that
ample school facilities shall be afforded to all
the educable youths of the State. The main
tenanee, then, of a few public schools in the
county through the constitutional term, is not
compliance with either the spirit or letter
Of the law.
Section 40 of the School Law requires that
the term shall be extended to FIVE months
whenever such schools can be maintained and
paid for without Ievying and collecting tax
for county school and county purposes that
shall in the aggregate exceed seven dollars
and fifty cents on each thousand dollars of tax
able property.
1t is made the duty of the State superin-
tendent of Education to see that all school
laws are faithfully executed. Should, there
fore, any county, or city constituting a sepa-
rate school district, fail to maintain its pub
lie schools for at least four months during this
scholastic year, the fact will be reported to
the Auditor of Public Accounts for his action
under Section 5, Article s, of the Constitution,
in the next annual distribution of the Com
mon School Fund.
You will report to this Office, Immediately
after the September meeting of your Board of
Supervisors what action has been taken in
reference to the foregoing.
Very respectfully,

The Atlantic Monthly for March is in
every way remarkable number 1t gives
its readers a new poem by Lon gfellow,
"The Chamber over the Gate" one of the
most graceful, sympathetic, and every
way charming poems he has ever written;
and Whittier constitutes some beautiful
memorial verses on Bayard Tayl lor, and a
spirited poem, 1.-THE Landmarks" in
which he pleads with all his d-time fire
and earnestness for the preservation of
the "Old South" In "The Ballad of
Christopher Aske" Rose Terry Cooke
tells story of the Catholic Rebellion of
1886, and there is besides charming lit
tie poem by Lucy Pleasants, Faint
Heart" From this summary of the poe
try for the month, we think our readers
may feel assured that the Atlantic is not
falling short of the high standard it has
always maintained in this department.
The closing installment of the delightful
Lady of the Aroostook" will be eagerly
read. Mr.. Howells has never done bet
ter work than in these last chapters,
which bring the story to conclusion
which must satisfy the most exactipg
reader, though all will regret that the
end has come so soon. II. B. K. has an
other collection of "Ghost Stories" and
Katharine Carrington's "Rosamond and
the Conductor" original in conception
and clever in execution, in the short
story of the number. Mark Twain's &C
count of The Great Revolution in Pit.
cairn" is irresistibly humorous, and vet
the humor but partially conceals some
what serious intent on the writer's part.
The concluding portion of W. w. Story's
pleasant account of "a Roman Holiday
Twenty Years Ago is given, and Richard
Grant White continues to discuss Amer
icanism." There is a brilliant unsigned
article on presidential Electioneering
in the Senate" and important papers are
given on "The Natural History of Poll
tics" by n. S. Shaler, and Our Land
Policy" by George W. Julian. The Con-
tributors' Club is even more bright, varied,
and entertaining than usual, and we
would especially commend the admirable
contribution regarding Daisy Miller as
perhaps the truest and most sensible
criticism yet given respecting that much
talkedof young lady. The reviews of
Recent Literature are, as always, admir-
BILE. Those on the new edition of "Un-
Gle Toms Cabin" and on the poems of
Matthew Arnold might serve as models
of what critical writing should be. Mr..
Clarence Cooks paper in the February
Atlantic was sure to call forth much ad-
verse comment, and we are not surprised
to find at the close of the magazine some
correspondence regarding it.
