Wednesday evening while several
were standing in the Office of the
Spengler House, one of the young
gentlemen was considerably startled
by one of the pOrterS exclaiming, as
he pointed downward, "Look at that
snake ~ The first thought of the
bystanders was that the porter chad

very genuine snake coiled up right
between the young mans feet, and he
acting under the impulse of the
the moment and being very Flcet,
soon dispatched his snakeship by
jumping upon him with both feet.
Just how that reptile happened there,
no one knows, but supposing it to be
looking for winter quarters, it is not
that it should call upon

Ed. Mcguire, the young hoodIum of

he had his youthful band of aapc-
sr"ces with him. A party of four,
consisting of Ed. Mcguire, Mike Smit-
W, Jimmy Marion and Jonny Juidicy,
boldly and burglariously entered the
Governors Mansion on "Wednesday
last, IN broad daylight, between the
hours of 8 a. m. AMI 2 p. m. They

iAg-the building and fixtures two or
three hundred dollars. They broke
open all the trunks in the house. all
the bureau drawers, armours, etc,
taking away whatever they could

broke open the doors leading into the
garret and basement, and left traces

ransacked the kitchen.
The Governor sleeps at the mansion,
but boards at private house, and that
Is the reason the young scamps chose
daytime for burglarizing the mansion.

Wednesday evening, returning to the
mansion with view, perhaps, of car

Governor called upon them to stop,

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
The Report Against Calling 1t,

To the Senate and House Of Representatives. Of
the State Of Mississippi:
The undersigned, consisting of Que half
of your Joint Committee, would respectfully
report
The joint resolution adopted by the Sem
ate and House Of Representatives,, creating
this Committee, enjoined upon them the
consideration of the following questions, to-
wit
/. The expediency of calling Consttu-
tional Convention.
>. The time of holding the same.
8. The expenses to be incurred.
If the fundamental and organic law of
the State is so defective, and the necessities
of the State are so urgent as to require its
revision or the adoption OF another and diff
terent Constitution by Il Convention of the
people, the questions of time and expenses
are all of minor Importance. A settlement
of the first question ought to dispose of the
other two.
First-Shalla Convention be called?
To answer this another question must be
asked and answered lsit necessary? If it
is not, then a Convention ought not to be
called. We apprehend that there can be
only two cases when it is necessary for the
assembling of Constitutional Convention !;
enc where there is no Constitution, and the
other is where there is Constitution so
radically defective that it cannot be amend
ed in the ordinary manner. Is the present
Constitution in that condition? We IN
hesitdtiagly answer that it is not As said
by distinguished jurist of our State, THE
Constitution of 1869 is faithful copy of
1882, with few changes and few add.
TONS"
Surely there ought not to be any obiec-
ton to a Constitution which had for its
model an instrument framed and adopted in
the pure days of the State. The "few
changes and few additions" have been made
in accordance with the progress of events
and the wants of the people. The history of
our State shows that the spirit of our peo-
pie is opposed to frequent and extraordinary
changes OF the Constitution. The Conven-
ton of 1865 was the necessary result of the
revolution begun in 1861, and ended four
years thereafter, The work of that Con-
vention was the present Constitution, which
was, as said before, faithful copy of that of
1882, such additions and alterations being
made as were thought consistent with the
changed state of affairs. The material al
terations made and now existing, may be-
briefly stated as follows:

Judge George-The Significance Of
-. His Election.

A correspondent at Washington calls
our attention to the reports that have
been sent out from that city to all parts Of
the country, that Judge George, our
new Mississippi Senator was elected
upon some pledge or other guarantee
that his views we're in conformity to
those Of Mr.. Lamar, and that his &C
tons would in some measure be squared
by the course Of that gentleman. One
writer goes 80 far as to say that Judge
George was in favor Of resumption,
that he was opposed to the remonetiza-
ton Of silver, that he denied the alb
stract right Of instruction etc, etc.
There is not q word Of truth in all these
assumptions. Judge George was elect
ed upon his own merits as q Democrat
without pledges, and in the full conf
dencc which his party in the Legisla-
ture reposed in his capacity to
serve the State ably and efficiently
and in his determination to serve
her conscientiously and periodically
lie is conservative enough to acqniesc
in the results Of the war, and to depre
cate sectional agitation and impractica
bic issues. He opposed resumption

EpfToRs CLARION; Asa constituent Of
our Democratic-Conscryatiye Legislature,
and planter identified with the general
interests ola citizen Of the State. While |
can't instruct, claim the right and ask the
privilege Of suggesting through your popu-
lar journal TO their Honorable Body imme.
diatc action in measure or two Of vast i'm
portapcc to the people, which | trust you
will find of sufficient might to agtatc.
refer first to the sale and removal of cotton
seed Cotton seed trafc is growing to an
alarming extent and will soon be seriously
felt, Travel when you may, by river or
rail, through rich or poor sections of coun-
try, and you find the shipment ofseed on 4
large scale, While all portions of the
State for want of transportation may not be
engaged in il, yet the state ut large is in
terested by the impoyishmont and depre-
citation of real estate values, eiIecting the
aggregate taxable value Of realty. A REM
edy that suggests itself to me- is to make
all shippers, sellers or buyers of seed, ex.
cept for planting purposes, cotton seed
dealers, and impose privilege tax or
license upon them as n class of tax ship
ments to an amount too excessive to posi-
bly, Justify its payment Make it the i'm
perativc duty of the Boards of Supervisors
to enforce in their respective counties, say
let them furnish all transportation agents
with Il list of parties to whom licenses have
been issued, and making them responsible
in penalty, for shipping seed except for
such parties, and not then, unless the
buyer and seller are included in such list,
The shipper being required to file with each
list for shipment the name of both buyer
aud seller.
The next is to place the girls of our State
on an equal footing with the boys as to
educational advantages ] am unable to
see why they should be entirely ignored as
is the case thus far lfeither must be neg
lected, it should be the latter, because you
cannot isolate man from woman, elevate
the woman and man will elevate her stan
dard. The State is able to assist both and
should do it,
Respectfully, NJ. II, J.
