superintendent of Public Instruction.

EAST MISSISSIPPI, February 3, 1880.
EDITORS CLARIoN-While our Legisla-
ture is busily at work amending, repeating
and otherwise bringing about needed
changes in the laws of our State, desire,
through your columns, to call attention to
the fact that State Superintendent
stands sadly in need of clerk to assist him,
and, at such times as he (the Superintend-
ent) is necessarily absent in the discharge of
his official duties, to remain at the capital,
and take charge OF the Office.
The provisions of the present law require
at the hands of the State Superintendent /,
many and onerous duties, in the discharge
of which a large amount of writing, in the
form of correspondence, reports, etc, accu-
mulate on his hands, and, to secure prompt
and systematic attention, to which he stands
in especial need Of assistance.
In addition 70 this he is, by law required
at times, to visit and inspect the workings
of the system throughout the State, and at
such times, as at present situated, he can
but close up his office, and allow 1t to con-
tinue closed until his return, be the time
long or short.
These things should not be thus. As was
the custom, until within the past two or
three years, i'll this State, and as is the pres
ent custom Off | mistake not), in every
other State, he should be allowed to employ
a clerk at reasonable yearly salary, to be
paid as his own Is paid
The amount paid said clerk need not ex-
coed $500 per year, and when we consider
the need of his services, the economy of his
employment will be apparent.
[ have written this briefly, but to call
the attention of our Legislators to this mat
ter, feeling well assured that at their hands it
will receive such attention as may be proper
and right.
Our present efficient Superintendent, Gen.
Smith, too modest himself to ask this favor,
would work on, as heretofore, without help,
but will doubt not, if called on, fully cor
roborate all have written, relative to his
necessities in this direction.
Very truly yours,
CEFHAs.

He also looked at other lands in the neigh

belief that the colony scheme would be a

Senator Stewards Bill.

Live Stock Journal.
We sincerely hope the bill of Senator
Stewart to prevent cruelty to animals, will
become a law, and that the same will be
rigidly enforced by the courts of the coun
try. The senseless and inhuman treatment
its brutalizing effects upon the ignorant and
vicious, who 10y blows and abuse vent their
meanncss upon the deienceless brutes, is a
terrible tax upon the property of the State.
Ii viii readily be admitted by those best
informed, that owing to i'll treatment, ouI
horses and mules, taken on an average, dc
not live out half what would be their natu
raj and efficient working life under proper
care and GOOD Treatment.

Department Reports.

The time between the close Of the
fiscal year, and the meeting of the Leg
isleture, is not sufficient for the heads
Of departments and public institutions
to close their reports and submit them
in printed form at as early Il date as
members of the Legislature desire and
should have them There are eleven
of those reports to be printed, and even
were they all handed in on the 1st of
January, it would be impossible to deliver
them under several weeks. The re
ports Of the Auditor and Treasurer have
been frequently inquired for. Those
officers have not been able to close up
their reports until within the past few
days, owing to delay in getting necessa-
ry Data from County officials. We are
requested by the public printer to say
that he hopes to have both re-
ports ready for delivery by Saturday
next

ing paper:
The Critic gives currency to piece of
scandal, by innuendo, which ostensibly re.
lates to some Southern Senator, whose name
is concealed from public view, but whose
conduct, if this scandal is verified, deserves
the severest apprehension. In this connec-
tion it is not impairment to ask why the
name of the guilty Senator is not made pub
lie? The imputation now lies against every
Senator from the South, and it is due to
each and all of them that the guilty party,
if there be any such, should be pilloried,
that the innocent may rot suffer from
unjust suspicious

Seymour is the first choice of a majority
of the Democrats of Mississippi, but who
ever is nominated by the National Demo
cratic Convention will carry the State, nc

know the National Convention will not
nominate an unworthy man. therefore they

The Public Health.

Senator Harris, Of Tennessee, has in
troduced a bill in the United States
Senate making material amendments to
the national health law What Is most
wanted in Mississippi, is State law
which will prove effective for pro-
tecting the public health. The Senate
has passed a bill which meets the case
and the people are looking eagerly to
the House Of Representatives.
BY reference to the Governors special
message, it will be seen that the hold
ers of the repudiated bonds are memoir
alizing the Legislature for a settlement.
They certainly are ignorant Of the fact
that an amendment to the Constitution
adopted during the Republican Carpet
baegers) rule forbidding the payment
Of the bonds, placed it entirely out Of
the power Of the Legislature to deal
with the subject.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
l edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pam IS in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain Is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and Is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe-
tite and sickness the bowels in gen
eral are costiye, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation IN the back part. ; There Is
generally a considerable loss of men,
DRY, accompanied with painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A Slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that eXer,
else would be beneficial to him, vel
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. Ia fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
