Death of Thomas S. Gathright
ESPECIAL TO THE CLARION. /
HENpEEsoN, TEXAS, May %, ISIS

HENDERSON, TEXAS, May %, 1850.
Hon. Thomas s. Gathright, late Presi-
dent of the a. and Nj. College, died here at
1880 A. NJ @. w. j.. SMYTHE.
We have no other particulars Of the
distressing event than is related in
the above despatch. The news Of the
death Of Thomas S. Gathright, will car
nv sorrow to thousands of hearts. They
will mourn the loss of man who was
beloved for his many virtues, and who
had long stood conspicous and dlstln-
guished in his great and useful calling.
As an educator, he had few equals, and
no superiors. in all the varied rela-
tions of life, he was pure, exemplary
and good. He came to Mississippi
from Georgia in his boyhood, poor
and unknown; but by his own energy
and skill. he laid the foundations Of his
future career Of usefulness and fame.
For twenty-five years he presided over
the SummervilIe Institute, and gave it
a name which few institutions Of learn
ing in the country has ever enjoyed.
There are thousands who have received
their early training under the tutelage
of Thomas $. Gathright, and will rise
up to call him blessed.
He did not seek the worlds honors /;
but among the dignities conferred by his
brethren of the Mystic Tie, was that of
Grand Master of their Order In 1870,
he was elected Superintendent of Public
Instruction of Mississippi, and while
filling the office, he was chosen Presi-
dent of the A. & NJ. College of Texas
1t was rapidly built up under his admin
istration, but dissensi0ns in the faculty
caused him to retire, when he was i'm
meGiately placed at the head of the Col
lege at Henderson, Texas, where he died.
For the last ten years he had been a
constant contributor to the columns of
THE CLARION, and bis brilliant, spark
ling, but withal, philosophical and prac
teal letters, will be sadly missed by its
readers. We can not at present at
tempt sketch of the incidents of his
life. He did not live unto himself He
lived for his country and the verdict
will go forth that a great and a good
man has fallen in Israel.

THE talk Of nominating for President
w. L. Scott, Of Pennsylvania, neigh
borhood politician of no note beyond his
own bailiwiek, and no national reputa.
tation beyond his membership of the
National Executive Committee, is run
ming the dark horse business into the
ground. If Pennsylvania is to have the
candidate, she has two sons, either one
of whom would come up to the require
ments of the occasion, S. j. Randall, and
W. S. Hancock If dark horse is to
be taken from that State they will have
him in the person of Jerry S. Black
the greatest intellect of them all.

IT is stated that there are now forty millions
of standard silver dollars in the treasury
vaults at Washington, and that the amount is
increasing at the rate of about million q
month. Mr.. Sherman says he has tried all
plans to get the silver into circulation, hut
that it comes in faster than be can send il
out.-Exchange.
The trouble is he will not pay it out
to the public creditors. Not dollar in
silver has been disbursed to the bond
holders, for principal or interest. The
Secretary holds that the silver dollar is
not good enough for them. Thus he
defes the contract between them and the
government, and tramples upon the will
of the people.

THE proceedings of the mass meeting
of the Observation-Disclosures party of Missis-
sippi are published in another column.
The meeting postponed the appointment
of an electoral ticket until future devel-
opments. This was a wise conclusion.
The Democratic party is pledged to re-
form the financial abuses complained of
in their platform, and the only direct
method of attaining that end, is to join
the Democratic party. It is not respon-
sible for the ills that Republican profit
gacy and corruption have brought upon
the country, and will correct them when
it gets into power.

Warren County.

The Democratic County Convention
of Warren declared for Gen. Chalmers
for Congress, and expressed no prefer
ence for Presidential nominee. The
following resolution was adopted;
Resolped That our delegates 10 the State
Convention be requested TO urge the adoption
of resolution declaring our adhesion and
utilization with the Democratic party Of the
Union, and that we will most checrfHl1y sup
port the nominee as presented by the Demo
cratic National Convention.

ILLINOIS.
The Third Termers Have Won a De
cisive Victory.

The Ex-President has won his decis-
i've victory in his campaign for the
third term. He has carried the Illinois
Republican Convention by storm. The
forty-two votes Of that State are bound
to him by instructions. More than
that they are men selected for
their loyalty 70 him. His success in
that State was the turning point of the
contest. 1t gives him the victory. II
anything else was needed, it was fur
nished by the Republican Convention,
which has also sent Grant delegates to
Chicago. Nothing is left but for the
nominating Convention but TO ratify
the decree Of Conkling, Cameron and
Logan. Grant is the Captain under
whose leadership the Republican hosts
are to be marshaled. The prediction
we have so often made in these columns,
will soon have eliminated into a stub
born reality Now, who Is to be the
Democratic nominee? 1t is no childs
play upon which the Democracy are
about to enter.

Hon. w. S. Anderson.

We are gratified to see by the pro-
ceedings of the Issaquena county Dem
ocratic Convention, that the above able
Senator from the 29th District, is still
at the fore. He is Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of his
county, and would not be excused from
service in the Congressional nominating
Convention. The Democracy never had
a firmer pillar, nora constituency bet.

Real Reputation.

Mississippi never repudiated debt
contracted in conformity to her Consti
tuition and laws. Nor for which she
ever realized cent, though the charge
has been made and reiterated until it is
generally believed by uniformed and
prejudieed people. But here is an eN-
ample Of genuine reputation by a
Northern State, Minnesota, which the
Republican organs tell US is sound to the
core. 1t Is Undoubtedly rotten to the
core:
'Gn April, 1858, the State of Minnesota
by vote Of -, O25 to 6,733, authorized the
issue of S5,000,00O of the bonds of the State
in aid of certain railroads, taking from the
railroad companies security on their lands,
road beds, franchises, etc. During 1858
and 1859 under this vote and on the order
of the Supreme Court Of the State, bonds
were issued to the amount Of 81, 900 and
disposed of by the railroad companies. In
November 1860, by a vote of 19,30S to ITO,
the State adopted a so-called amendment to
its Constitution annulllng the former act
and prohibiting the Legislature from ever
paying principal or interest of the bonds al
4
ton of such payment to a vote of the peo-
Pile. About the same time the State fore
closed its mortgages, took possession of all
the property of the several rail compa-
ines, including about $50 miles OF graded
road and over 600, 900 acres of land, sold the
same at auction, became itself the purchaser,
and finally gave tbs same to certain new
corporations of her own creation, which
have since completed the roads begun by
the original companies. Three or four
times since the Legislature has submitted
propositions to the people providing for a
partial recognition and compromise settle
ment of the repudiated bonds, but every
time the vote has been overwhelmingly
against any payment. The last decision
was in June, 1877, when the proposition to
issue new bonds at the rate of about fifty
cents on 81 for the old bonds and accrued
interest was voted down by an immense
majority.

"IDo not believe" said Senator Wal
lace, of Pennsylvania, the other day,
THAT Democratic. Convention in Penn
sylvania is ready to put premium on
boiling and disorganization, for if any
set of men of their own mere motion can
create an organization Independent OF
the regular one and then be recognized
by the party, there is an end of unity
and discipline. > The observation is cor
rect, and will apply to other places
besides Pennsylvania.

REFERRING to Senator Gordon's resig
nation a dispatch from Atlanta publish.
ed in the n. Q. Times says that
"many express qualification, in view OF
"Gordon's intention to vote to seat Kel-
'logg, and not few charge that he re-
"signed rather than consummate the
bargain which he now sees would have
damned him with the people OF
Georgia" If he did intend to vote to
keep Kellogg in the seat to which he has
not a shadow of claim, and to keep out
of it, the person who was really elected
by the State of Louisiana, it is well for
his fame that he did resign. Better a
thousand times to have plunged into the
sea with milestone around his neck,
than TO have given such vote.
