English immigration.

In explanation of the fact that large
number of English farmers are prepar-
ing to remove to the United States,
an intelligent Englishman says;
''The best land of England is now, as it
has been for years, held by the gentry.
Such land as they can do without-that
they do not wish to preserve for hunt
ing purposes or their own farms-they
rent to tenants. These tenants are
generally men whose fathers and grand
fathers have rented and cultivated the
been one of constant effort to make bad
landsproductive. The contest has been so
laborious that men are living who know
that the tenants are no better off now
than they were forty years ago. Some
of them are poorer. 1t has always been
my belief that to spend money and labor
on bad land that was not naturally pro-
ductive at the first must end in loss.
We have been thinking of emigration
Aux OdIS. gun, we AoSlGdG0u W UTodh
up our homes, hoping that in time our
landlords would reduce their rents, that
the crops would improve, or that other
circumstances would make the outlook
brighter. We have found that in re-
cent years that while we could raise
good crops of straw we could not pro-
duce large kernels of grain, and that in
spite of all our efforts our grain was
smaller and our labor was becoming less
remunerative."
To the English farmers who have led
lives of oppression and have wrung theil
scanty subsistence from barren soil,
which cost them dearly, such States as
Mississippi, with her fertile soil and
Astounding resources, would be lane

The Senatorial Election.

Extract of letter from Hon. Frank
G. MCGEE, of Clarke, to his paper, the
Enterprise Courier:
From all that 1 can learn the election of
Gen. George to the Senate is well received
in all parts of the State. 1 am sure the
people of Clarke county are satisfied with
his election. Some papers which specially
interest themselves in the defense of Mr..
Lamar, claim that the election of Gen.
George is a signal triumph for Mr.. Lamar's
policy as opposed to Col. Singleton and Maj.
Barksdale. 1 can see no foundation for any
such assertion. Some go so far as to say
that Gen. Walthall elected the Senator, but
that is another point so tar hidden as to be
beyond my vision. Gen. Walthall could
never claim more than thirty four votes on
a test ballot, and as Gen. George got just
forty-fve more than that number, cannot
see where Gen. Walthall controlled

The soon-to-be Vacant Judges hip,

JANUARY, so, 1880.
EDITORS CLARION The election of
Judge George to the Senate of the United
States being an accomplished fact, the ques-
ton at once comes up, who shall succeed
him on the Supreme Bench? While this
election did not fill the expectations and
earnest wishes of the vast majority of the
people of South Mississippi, yet we heartily
acknowledge the fitness of Judge George for
the exalted position. His prominence in
1875, as representative man of this State,
in the downfall of the aliens, is peculiarly
marked, and we feel assured that he will
never go back on his splendid record. We
also believe that he will always bow to the
will of his constituents, distinctly expressed
through the Legislature, coming at least
from the house of his friends.
Who shall be his successor on the Bench?
South Mississippi asks, and is certainly en-
titled to the appointment and confirmation
of representative man of this District.
We have many men who could fill the place
with credit to themselves and honor to the
State; and while | would not disclaim
against any, there are two names that occur
to me as peculiarly representatives of this
District men too, who, for judicial learn
ing, practice in all the departments of the
profession, age, and business experience,
stand vastly ahead of all others. l refer to
Judge II. F. Simrall and Hon. Benz. King.
It may be said that
JUDGE SIMRALL
now resides in Vicksburg, and is, therefore,
not of the Second District, but he is rep
resentative man of this portion of the State.
n tho SOnt n nrn
part of the State, is the scene of his early
labors and legal triumphs, and all of his as
sociations in the law peculiarly attach him
to US.
Who stands ahead of him in legal learn
ing, and as clear logical thinker, and phiso-
logical lawyer? We want no precedent
hacks-no lawyer, who is unable to look
beyond the cases, none who plant themselves
immovably upon the doctrine of stare de
cisis.
But if he is not acceptable, the other is
fully and wholly man of US and with us,
HON. BENZ. KING,
now of the State Senate, as member for
Claiborne and Copiah. A lawyer of twenty
five years practice in all departments of the
law; a thorough reader, profound thinker,
splendid business man, a general legal
mind of the first class, and one of the best
constitutional lawyers of the country his
age, position, and ability mark him for the
place.
| have heard others of our lawyers named,
! gentlemen of ability, fine character and
good lawyers, but Judge Simrall and Col.
King stand out certainly as peculiarly fitted
to the place. No man in Mississippk Weald
come nearer filling the seat to be vacated by
Judge George, in every respect, than Col.
King. Yours,
SECOND DISTRICT

The Fourth Congressional District
Kemper and Neshoba.
Lauderdale Review.

Lauderdale Review.
Is it possible that Neshoba and Kemper
counties want a little too much? They
want to be taken out of this Judicial Dis
trict, and placed in the one above, and
wantto be taken out of the Third Congress
ional District and put in this, the Fourth.
We ere very much in favor of having the
latter want granted; but We are not partic-
ular about the other. 1t was very fool
ish act of the Legislature in the first place,
to give US Yazoo and Holmes counties,
when we had such near and good neighbors
as Neshoba end Kemper. If we had these
two counties the geography location of the
District would have some shape, but as 1t
is it looks something like a rundown boot.
Besides the District would be composed OF
white voting population. As it is, we
have to show up white majority to over
balance that of the colored in Yazoo and
Holmes counties. We hope our Legisla
ture will sit down and think the matter
over and grant the desire of Neshoba and
Kemper to come over on our side and vote
for congressman.

Hon. Van Manning.

The Washington Gazette notes that
General Walker, the Superintendent of
the Census, has adopted the suggestion
of Representative Van Manning, of
Mississippi, to the effect that in prepar-
ing the labor statistics of the South the
figures in reference to the proportion of
cotton raised by whites and blacks in
that section shall be so tabulated as to
enable the people to decide as to which
race shows the more industrious habits
and upon the labor Of which race de-
pends the success of the cotton culture
of the South
The people of Mr.. Manning's district
have reason to congratulate themselves
upon the control which the energy and
talents of their Representative have Sc
cured for him in public affairs.

A Compliment to Senator Bruce.

Washington Post.1
number of Mississippians, resident in
Washington, last night presented a hand
some gold-mounted cane to Senator Bruce,
as an expression of personal good will and
Endorsement of his public record by the res
ident citizens of his State. The gift was
presented by Judge Tarbell in behalf of him
self and other citizens of Mississippi, and
was accompanied with speech laudatory of
Senator Bruce, and speaking in hopeful
tones of the progress and future of the race
represented by him. Senator Bruce re-
sponded with a very modest, Thoughtful
reply.
In this connection we may as well in
troduce the following fair notice of the
colored Republican Senator from the
Lauderdale Review; and will add to
what the Review has said, and what
will be remembered to the credit of Mr.
Bruce, that he respected the will of the
people of his State, as expressed by their
Legislature, in voting for the remoneti-
cation of silver
1t may not be out of place just at this
time, and we hope no one will accuse this
sheet of unfaithfulness, to say that B. K.
Bruce has made as fair and impartial rep
resentative of his people and the Republican
party as could have been found in the whole
South. If he has done no good he has done
no harm, and that may be a little more than
one could say about some of the Democratic
Senators, if the thing was sifted down to
the husk. One thing we can say about
Bruce-he always was there to answer tc
roll call.

The Senatorial Contest.

The Pamela Star advocated the nomi-
nation of Gen. Walthall, but its fair
minded editor, Mr.. Bonner, is generous
enough to pay this tribute to one of his
competitors. 1t is appreciated:
Although Hon. Ethel Barksdale was I'M
successful in his canddacy.for United States
Senator, he emerged from the long contest
nobly and honorably. Hewas not defeated.
On the contrary he lead on the last ballot of
the caucus, as he did on nearly all the pre-
cedin9 ballots. Major Barksdale's letter of
withdrawal is as patriotic and unselfsh as
that of Gen. Walthall

for the issue of certificates on deposits
of gold and silver bullion, and making
such certificates legal tenders for all
purposes. The bill also prohibits any
further issue of national bank notes.

1t is seldom that contestants for such
high honors retire from the canvass with so
much mutual good feeling toward each
aud between their respective adherents, as
have the recent aspirants for Senatorial
honors in this State Only one could win,
but each retires with reputation unscathed !;
they have lost no friends; sacrificed no re-
spect, nor forfeited any position or infiu-
ence Indeed, we believe that by their
high-toned and magnanimous course, each
has made himself popular throughout the
one really worsted by the contest.

The Natchez, Jackson and Columbus
Railroad.
Natchez Democrat.

NatcneZ democrat.
In our columns this morning will bEfourd
the report of the President and Directors,
and that of the Secretary and Superintend-
ent of the Natchez, Jackson and Columbus
Railroad Company, presented to the stock
holders at their annual meeting on the 10th
inst. These repors show condition of the
workings of the road which cannot be other
wise than gratifying to the stockholders and
to the community which is to derive the
benefit of the construction of this import
ant road. 1t will be seen that the increase
in the receipts of the road has been more
during the past season than $14, 900 over
those of the previous year, and that the
gross earnings of the road have been SAC, 1913,
or nearly $3.50 per mile. The amount of
gross earnings over all expenses, including
taxes, interest and operating expenses,
amounts to the sum of So, 622, 80. Now the
forty-four miles OF completed road has only
brought the road to the verge of the most
profitable portion of the route, and there is
no doubt that its extension only few miles
further will double its business, while the
operating expenses of the road will not be
materially increased. 1t is easy, therefore,
to estimate that the completion of the whole
road to jackson, through the very finest por-
ton of the State, will make this one of the
very best paying roads in the country.
