Fencing Railroads.

The letter We have published from
Hon. a. +. Lewis, of Jackson county.
deserves attention. He is known in the
seacoast counties as one of the oldest
and most philosophical citizens and
largest taxpayers of that section.
Before the war he was a member of the
Legislature, and in the elections which
have since occurred, as became a good
citizen he did his part in substituting
honest rule for bad government in our
State. That he and other taxpayers
similarly situated, have just ground of
complaint, and that they have a right
to expect redress of their grievances
when the Legislature meets, does not
admit of a doubt. Nine-tenths of the
counties are not subject 10 the wrongs
which he describes, but it is not unrea-
sonable to believe that enough interest
will be awakened among the representa-
tives Of other constituencies to induce |
them to unite with the representatives
OF those Immediately concerned, to |
provide the necessary remedy.
The existing law requires railroad
companies to pay for stock DESTROYED or
injured by their trains, but owing to the
difficulty of obtaining proof, it is a hard
matter to enforce it. To avoid litigation
and secure prompt settlements, to our
personal knowledge two of the railroad
companies, the New Orleans, Chicago
and st. Louis and the Vicksburg and
Meridian have been in the habit of pro-
posing to stock owners to divide the ,
loss with them by paying one-half of
fair valuation of the property DESTROYED ,
the appraisement to be made by dis
persons of the neighborhood
who are credible and are acquainted with !
is value. By this arrangement the ,
waived their right to avail !
themselves of the technicalities of the
aw and its uncertainties, and the stock +
'wners secured prompt settlement. A
of the large sum which at
east one of the companies Cthe n. O.. a
). and st. L. have expended in the I
of these claims induced us to 0
hink that it would be economy for the h
ompanies as well as protection to the f
eople, for the Legislature to pass either b
be bill introduced by Mr.. Bills, Senator O.
rom the 22nd District, or the one intro p
uced by Mr.. Wood, Representative al
ON jackson county, which passed the Vi
louise with but little opposition. SINH
II laws are in force in many of the
Western and Northern States: and sa
Rough lumber is much more costly W

doubt follow an example which is so IN
anifestly just; or it will provide such u
Iditional legislation as will protect in lea

We purposely RETAINED from repub-

respondent of a Boston paper with Hon.
Jefferson Davis, which has been tele
grPhed to the press throughout the
country, for the reason that we believed
the writer distorted what Mr.. Davis
saio upon the subjects referred in such
manner as to convey an entirely differ

or that it was a lie manufactured out of

Impression by the following statement

such thoughts those acribed to him in that

The Right of instruction.

EDITORS CLARION: As you have forced your
correspondent, " A. B. c., - to admit the rem
reSentdtjre character of a Senator, and his ac-
countability to the people, instead of the per-
sonal independence that he seemed to advocate
IN his first communication, Will he please in
form Us how the people of State shall inform
their representatives. in the Senate OF their
wishes, and instruct him how to represent
them on questions that may arise during his
term OF service, and by what means they shall
hold him to account The wise and pure
statesmen of Virginia supposed that Legis-
lature directly from the people was the sworn
and ready means of rejecting their will. If
" A. B. c, -" can point out a better, more GER
tain or speedy way by which a Senator can
ascertain the sentiments Of the people, so as to
properly represent their will, he should settle
this controversy by giving the benefit of his
better Judgment
The people should not be satisfied with an
accountability for Misrepresentation which is
to be deferred for a term of six wears. and il is
to be hoped that a B. c." will present
better the solution of this vitality

The Kinds County Canvass-A Pull
Altogether.

The Democratic Conservative party in
Kinds will soon enter the canvass with
a straight-out ticket. In selecting this
ticket due respect will no doubt be
shown to the claims and feelings of va.
rious portions of the county. so as to
secure fair representation to each geo
graphical division. In nominating this
ticket it should be well understood tina;
the matters of difference in regard TO the
Issuance of county bonds for the con-
struction of the Natehez and jackson
Railroad through the county are
not TO be considered. That question
so far as the people are concern
ed, has been decided. If any other
matters of dispute concerning it should
arise (of which we have no intimation)
they will have to be decided in the
courts. The people of the county, can
not afford TO divide among themselves
upon questions, which can have no rele-
vancy to the canvass, at the peril of the |
party to which they owe everything for
relieffrom Radical thraldom. THE CLAIR
ION was pronounced advocate ola coun-
transcription. In the pending canvass,
we do not want to know where any man
stood upon that issue. The questions /
we have toask are, is the nominee honest.

The River and Harbor Bill.

The following IS a statement Of the
appropriations as divided among the
several States, under the River and
Harbor bill. II does not include $780,
600 for the Eads Jetties at the mouth of
the Mississippi river, and which must be
classed with the Southern appropriations.
Our readers viii concur with US that this
statement does not justify the complaint
which it Is fashionable in some quarters
TO make, that the Southern States have
been uniustly Disseminated against in
making appropriations from the Federal
Treasury. In the consideration of the
bill for the improvement of rivers and
harbors, which was matter of public
concern, We were gratified TO observe
that no sectional feeling was evinced.
The appropriations for New York
is exceptionally large, but her great city
is the grand entrepot and distributing
point for every section of the country,
and is scarcely ever regarded from a sec
tional standpoint Michigan seems to
have secured lions share. With these
exceptions (and they are set off by the
appropriations for the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river, the Southern members,
as general thing, appear TO have done
well for their States. Tennessee, the
Virginias, the Carolinas, Georgia, Lou
isiana and Texas have been exceedingly
fortunate. Most of them have secured
double the amounts voted to such
States as Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Maine, etc. But it may be answered
that the last named have been literally
provided for in the past

ing OF the subject of making nominal
lions for county offices, says:
In this county, and in other counties ada
cent, We believe, as far as we have been able
TO learn. the sentiment of the people is to
make nominations for the various otices and
to oppose the plan of allowing every candi-
date to run irrespective of party nomination.
In some other counties different
course is proposed, and who will gainsay
the right of the Democrats and Conser-
vatives acting through the legitimate
Of their party, to decide the
question for themselves?
