It Is a waste of labor to prove that
Mr.. Bayard was opposed to the war and
the coercion plan for the preservation oi
the Union, in 1861, in order to show
that he would not be an available can
didate for the Presidency. The same
objection viii apply to all the old-time
Democrats who were in political life, or
participated in political discussions at
that time.-Mr Seymour, Mr.. Tilden,
Mr.. Thurman, Mr. HendIicks-the
whole of them, would fall under the ban.
1t was the policy of the Democratic par
ty North in the early beginning of the
troubles of 1861, to settle the dispute
by compromise, not by arms; and its
leaders with rare exceptions, were COM
mitted to it. Even General Scott said,
first, compromise the difficulty; and if
that fails, thea" ''let the wayward sisters
departin peace.
If it is inexpedient to nominate can
didate who is liable TO the OBJ
lection urged against Messrs. Bayard,
Tilden, Thurman and others, it will be
necessary to take man who was Re
publican of that era, and has joined the
Democracy since For example, Ewing of
Ohio, or Lyman Trumbull, or Doolittle; ];
or a Democrat who had not entered po-
litical life, such for example, as Hon.
Sam. Randall, who was private in the
Union Army, and has opposed the entire
brood of proscriptive measures devised
by the Republicans for the enslavement
of the South and destroying the consti-
tuition, ever since his entrance into pub
lie life; or a military chieftain like Gen.
w. S. Hancock who fought on the I'm
ion side in the war and afterwards as
military Governor of Louisiana and
Texas, proclaimed these immortal truths:
The great principles of American liberty
are still the lawful inheritance of this peo-
pie and ever should be. The right of trial
by jury, the habeas corpus the liberty of the
press, the freedom of speech. the national
rights Of persons and the rights of property,
MUST BE PRESERVED.

The Democratic Party and the Cen
traliZing Laws.

|
II the Democratic party is not pledged
to-a reversal of the centralizing acts of re-
publican administration, including the CEN
| tralizing decisions of the Supreme Court as
part and parcel of that administration, the
question will occur: What is the party
pledged to perform? Democrats under
stand that it is their duty to obey the de-
cision of the Supreme court. But they re
gard it equally their duty to change that
decision whenever a majority of the Ameri-
can people give them the power to change
it.-Memphis Avalanche.
The Avalanche is not usually ortho-
dox, but it is level-headed on this ques-
ton. Certainly no true Democrat will
surrender his convictions and abandon
opposition to odious laws because they
have been pronounced constitutional by
the courts. In the first place, they
might be constitutional, and yet mex
pedient, but the Democratic party main
tains that the laws which confer upon
Congress the power to control the do
nestle affairs of the States-to exer-
else powers reserved to the States for
lllC Bul POSCS Va SOl4 w u f'AA@S2tfS az
both unconstitutional and inexpedient.
This is the opinion of at least one Demo
cratic leader in the United States, who
has the courage of his convictions to de-
clare them in practical form. On the
18th inst, Senator Bayard introduced
bill, making it unlawful for any Mar
shall, Deputy Marshal or Supervisor of
Election, or any person acting under
their authority, TO arrest or imprison on
election day any election officer acting
as such under and by virtue of election
or appointment under any State law for
any offense against the United States
election laws, but warrant or process
for such offense may be executed at any
time after the close of such election day.
This bill, If passed, will divest one of
the laws pronounced unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court, (the election
law,) of its most odious features.
The bill has been reported favorably
by a majority of the Senate Judiciary

of Jackson, as the time and place for holding
a State Convention to appoint delegates to
the National Democratic Convention, and
nominating a Presidential electoral ticket.
All Democratic-Conservat citizens

DAY, MAY 21st, as the day upon
which the counties shall hold their
Conventions to appoint delegates to the
State Convention unless the County Com
mittees shall otherwise order. 1t is re-
quested that thorough organization of the
mocratic-Conservative party, be effected
in each county, preparatory to the Novem-
Der elections.

Editors Mississippi sun. Macon. Eiss.:
GESTIEMEN-In your paper of yester.
day is an editorial that would seem to call
for few comments at my hands Waving
the unfriendly spirit that seems 70 have
prompted, and that peryades it, / am very
willing 10 concede the point you make that
the county press should do county printing.
As TO the matter of tax lists, I viii say
that we have had orders lied for two months,
from different counties, which we declined
TO fill, because of a probable change in the
law, involving the expense of new blanks
and double labor on part of the Assessor.
These orders We have since filled; and before
observing your article, we had forwarded 70
local printing Offices, several orders lately
received, with the suggestion that if they
could not do the work promptly, We had the
~iorm" in type.
The Revenue Law provides that the As
SCISSORS tax lists shall be paid for out OF
county treasury, and it is eminently proper
that county printing offices should do the
work; but why THE CLARION printing
establishment should be excluded from COM
petition with other offices in jackson, and
with offices in Memphis Nashville, St. Louis
and elsewhere, is a business proposition that
cannot understand. I have before me the
prlce list OF another othce IN Jackson otier-
Ing to print tax lists for precisely the rate
charged by THE CLARION, and yet no COM
plaint has been urged against that office. A
very large proportion of the blanks and blank
books used in the public offices in this State,
are furnished by establishments in other
States, and so long as this is allowable, THE
CLARION asks the privilege of being per
mtted to compete.
1t was not necessary that the Sun should
remind THE CLARION of its obligations to
the country press" With our press
brethren, generally, we have always been
able to sustain pleasant relations, and rather
than have these relations impaired we would
draw in our operations to the limits of the
first District of Kinds County. Our breth~E
ren are more reasonable, however, and they
will not deny to THE CLARION the right
to do all work that comes TO it in legitimate
way. So far as Tax Lists are concerned,
| will say that we will fill no other orders
except from counties where there is no press,
or unless county printing offices should re-
quest Us to do the work for them. N
Hoping this will be satisfactory,
| remain very truly yours,
j. l.. POWER,
State Printer.

Judge Davis on the Paper Tax.

Senator Davis of Illinois, has recent
Iy presented a memorial from numer-
Gus publishers asking a reduction of the
duty on paper. In offering the memo
rial, he delivered some very appropriate
remarks in support of the measure. He
said the duty on paper was an utterly
uniustifable tariff, and in. this connec-
ton he paid very high compliment to
the newspaper press of this country. 1t
is obvious from the tenor of his speech
on the matter of tariff Senator Davis
stands squarely on Democratic ground.
He does not believe in building up close
corporations of SPECIAL interest at the
public expense. He is opposed to Great
ing monopolies by act of Congress. lie
is in favor of unqualified freedom of the
press. No fetters on industry. No tax
on the reading of the masses of the peo-
pie. The people viii not forget his
timely aetioa in this matter. One thing
may be said about him, aad it is that he
has always shown himself a foe to monop-
olists and champion of the laboring
interests.

The Doctrine of Instruction.

We note that this fundamental doe

Valley Commission, looking to the inn

is In these words:

Who is Burton P

There was quite flourish of trumpets
over the rejection of Capt Buchanan
of Holly Springs, for Supervisor of the
1stDistrict on account of his Objectionable
politics, and the appointment of John
S. Burton. But from the following in
the Holly Springs South it would seem
there has been much ado about nothing
It is only swapping the devil for the
witch. Says the South
In making the nomination of Burton, the
President has but persisted in the nomina-
tion of Buchanan, for the one is a second
self of the other, and as much a partizan
and as likely to use the office for political
and personal advancement of Buchanan.
Such is the integrity of Rutherford to his
own proclaimed civil service reformation.
The rejection of Mr.. Burton by the Senate
will be as welcome here as that of Ruchan-
an has been.
The weekly clarion., 1880-03-24

IT is rumored that great strike is
being arranged, similar to that of 1877,
which includes all miners and iron fur
nacemen in Pennsylvania, New York
and Ohio. Many classes of mechanics
and nearly all workingmen's societies are
in sympathy with the movement, even
though they have not agreed to come
into it. It is for the suppression of the
movements of the laboring classes
against the great corporations, that the
latter are advocating large standing
army to be held in readiness for action.
The mopometaligt. money oligarchists,
and overgrown corporations are ali IN
favor of that anomoly in republican
government, a standing army in time of
peace.

III presi entail DARK Horee.

A Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times, gives this description Of
Speaker Randall:
Sam Randall would attract interest in
almost any crowd. He is tall, broad-shouId-
cred and very Individual in his personal
bearing. His face is a dead sallow, white
and stands out in marked contrast with his
intensely jet-black eyes and coal black hair
He almost always wears steel-bowed glasses
The lower ptrt of his face. which is always
clean-sbaved, indicates bulldog firmness and
tenacity. He almost Invariably dresses in
black. He lives in q very quiet, unpreten-
tious way, In very inexpensive house on
Capitol Hill He Is never seen in a car
riage, but walks about town. He used to
be great drinker several years ago, when
he first entered Congress. The temptations
of Washington life were for time too
strong for him, and weaker man would
have been absolutely ruined. He brought
that bulldog tenacity of his to bear, and
absolutely foreswore the use of liquor some
four years ago, and since that time no one
has ever seen him taste drop. So far as
private life goes, he is a model He is de-
voted TO his family and children"

Hon. Frank C. McGee.
Grenada Sentinel

Grenada Sentinel.l
The prees had but two Representa-
tives in tie Legislature, and we can
say in reference to McGee, of Clarke
that the euiIl-driving profession in him
was well sustained. He did not figure
much as a speaker, but as a worker,
and useful legislator, he had few if any
superiors in the House. Always at his
post, and ever on the alert, nothing es-
capped his argus eyes. With a smile as
bland as a morning in May, ever play
