Farming In Canada,

Any one accustomed to life in the states
notices the change in the villages and farms
soon after passing into the queens domin-
ions. Passing from Newport Vermont to
Montreal by the Southeastern railway, for
some time the land seems rather poor and
in some places a stunted growth of white
birch and poplars mark the country. But
for many miles before reaching the St.
Lawrence, the land improves and the long
and narrow strips Of well-fenced land give
evidence OF careful cultivation and good
crops. In the valley near Montreal the land
is very level and sometimes clayey, with a
look as if it might be wet in spring and late
in working. Perhaps this has led to plow-
ing in ridges about rod wide, so that the
place of the dead furrow shows all over the
grass land after it is seeded down. noticed,
however, that the same method of blowing
was in vogue all the way to Quebec, even
when the ground was billy and needed nc
artificial drainage. Most of these fields
were free from stones and seemed to be
well cultivated; but few fields gave eyi
dence Of having been mown with ma

CHRISTMAS DAY.

The little lambs were lying stnl,
One bright and starry night;
The shepherds were beside the nocka,
When suddenly light
Was seen, and music soft and sweet
Rang on the listening ear,
And loving words from God to man
Were echoed loudly clear.
The shepherds then were sore afraid,
They knew not what It meant,
Nor why the glorieus light was there.
Aud the bright angel sent,
But straight from heaven, In light array'd.
In Gods almighty name,
TO give his message unto man
That holy angel came.
The message was for you and me.
And all the world beside.
And this IL what the angel said,
That lovely Christmas tide:
" Fear not, for now behold I bring
Tidings Of JOY and love;
For unto you liz born this day.
The Lord, from heaven above.
little infant ye shall see
Within manger laid.
90 ye, and hnd your Saviour now,
And be no more dismay'd."
The angel ceased; and suddenly
A host OF angels sang,
And the sweet strains Of Joy and peace,
Over the country RANGE
Glory 10 God In highest heaven,
Peace and goodwill on earth"
Never was such Joyous song
To hail an infants birth.

The Messrs. Bell and their First
Interview with the Governor.

Maj. j. II. Bell, of Yazoo, called to
see the Governor on Friday last, and
the following was mutually agreed to by
them as setting forth what had occurred
at the previous interview between the
Messrs Bell and the Governor when
the former conference was held with
him in regard to the Yazoo disturbances {:
In comforting with the Governor as to the
means OF affording protection to the citizens
whose safety was believed by them, 1.-THE
Messrs Bell,) to be imperiled, Maj. Bell in
quired of him, (the Governor,) ii he would
call on the United States Government for
troops. The Governor replied with emphasis
that he would not. Maj Bell then remarked
that he would be the last man to request him
to do so; that he thought Mississippi would
be able to protect her own citizens. Maj Bell
now says that the object of his inquiry was
misunderstood by the Governor, as he had
asked merely for information.

himself above the slightest breath of reproach.
Whatever he has appeared, he has come off

some of our best and greatest men, for what
they have said or done in reference to the.

and yet in all these transaction he was never

Capt. w. II. HUMPHREYS.

The nomination of this gentleman for
Senator from LOwndes over a worthy
and popular opponent by a large majority,
after long and warm contest, is more
than personal triumph for him. 1t
points a moral in the determination of
the Democratic party to stand by the
men who have stood byit in the perilous
times through which the State has
passed, and thrown themselves in the
imminent, deadly breach" when
sacrifices were needed. Capt Hum
phries is a gentleman of talent, and
courage, and will be one of the fore
most leaders in the body to which his
election is assured.

Issues of the Canvass.

There are other issues in the Missis-
sippi canvass besides the financial
question which the people could not
ignore if they desired, Notwithstanding
they are carefully pretermitted in the
platform of the Greenbackers in this
and other States. They are to be found
in the resolutions and addresses and
newspaper utterances of the Republican
party throughout the Northern States.
Take for example the platform first
adopted by the New York Republican
Convention over which Vice President
Wheeler himself presided. 1t revives
all the old issues and reopens the Sec
ocratic Congress for its attempt to repeal
the proscriptive and unconstitutional
measures Of the Republican administra-
ton and demands the continued enforce
ment of the infamous laws which
permitted the use Of troops at the polls
and the arrest of Democratic voters on
the fiimsiest preteXts; it makes q
slanderous and wanton assault on the
South in wholesale charges of violence
and lawlessness. 1t shows plainly
enough that the fight in Congress is not
to be given up.
The speech of Senator ConkliRg in
organizing the Convention sounded the
slogan of the issues for the restoration
of military rule over the South and its
sentiments were echoed by the Vice
President and applauded by the Con
vention. In the same speech Senator
Conkling gave this comforting assurance :
whoever may be the Democratic
nominee every electoral vote in the
South will be registered for him. This
done, but AZ electoral votes are needed
for the success of the Democratic NOM
inee in all the Northern States from sea
to sea-" The solid South cannot afford
to dissolve vet.

Northern Reputation.

The New York Tribune is making a
wretched noise over that it calls "repu-
diation" in the Southern States. 1t
does not please to tell its readers that
most of the debts it parades were Gre
ated under an abuse of privilege by car
pet-baggers for none of the legitimate
ends and purposes of government. For
these, as well remarked by the N. Y.
Express, the South never received a
dollars worth of good, and all the bene-
fit.which the debts ever did was that
which Injured to the pockets of the car
pet-baggers. Those who bought the
bonds at from twenty to sixty per cent,
of their face did it with their eyes wide
open, knowing they were dealing with
rascals if not thieves.
The Tribune takes good care to say
nothing about the millions which have
been repudiated by Northern States and
municipalities, and it is particularly
silent about Pennsylvania reputation;
nor does it have word to say about
the fact of recent occurrence that
Minnesota borrowed 100000 to
build Railroads that the Roads were
built, and that when the question of
payment was put to vote of her peo-
pie, they voted overwhelmingly to re-
pudiate the debt.

The Solid South.

This is a sound of horrible import in
Northern Republican ears now, but it
was not always so. They had no OBJ
lection to the solid South in the Fort v
first Congress. In that body they had
twenty-five Southern Senators and the
Democrats had only two; and they had
fifty-two out of the sixty-three Southern
Representatives admitted. But they
were not Southern representatives in
fact. They were interlopers and intru-
ders.

Claiborne County.

The Democracy of Claiborne have
come into line with a strong Legislative
ticket. They have nominated Hons. J.
Nee Martin and A. j. Lewis for the
House. The former is one of the most
useful and influential members of the
present Legislature, and the latter has
served at former time-and served
faithfully and well. Claiborne will have
cause to be proud of her representatives.
We presume no opposition will be or
ganized against them ; but there is safety
in vigilance and activity.

The Senatorial Contest.

Too much cannot be said in common
dation of the excellent spirit and man.
ner in which the U. S. Senatorial con-
test in this State, has been conducted.
Nothing has been said by the candidates
nor their respective friends, disparaging
the others, or calculated toproduce hard
feeling and division in the ranks of the
Democratic-Conservative party. All
are understood to be in favor of sub
hitting their names to a caucus of the
regularly elected party members, and in
good faith to abide the result.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-09-10

TRUE Democrats and Conservatives
will forego personal ambition and sacri-
fee personal antipathies to the public
good. The chivalry of party politics
requires that the viii of the majority
as expressed by the nominations, should
be respected Where there are rival
candidates, when one has been fairly
and honorably selected, the others
should feel bound in good faith to ac-
cept the decision and do all in their
power to elect him.

Hon. j. G. Hamilton.

The Lexington Advertiser says that
we were mistaken in stating that this
worthy citizen of Holmes, who is the
standard bearer of his party for the State
Senate, was a member of the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1865, and adds:
Col. Hamilton has entered upon an active
canvass, and shows the vim and vigor that
beget-succes With such man at the head
of the Democratic Conservative ticket and
supported by such good and strong ones as
those who have been nominated for the other
position, it is for the people to but will its
triumphant election, and the thing is accom-
plished.
