All for Grant.

1t will be seen that the simon pure
Republicans in the Legislature are near
" all for Grant. This does not sur
prise us; but what does amaze US is the
preference expressed for him by Messrs.
Cratin, Of Yazoo, Peter Mitchell, Of
Washington, and Lem. Moore Of Issa-
quena. Cratin was regularly nomina-
ted and elected as Democrat, and no.
body questioned his right to participate,
as such, in the Democratic-Conservative
caucus. Mitchell and Moore, though
not nominated and elected as members
Of the Notwithstanding party
took their seats in the caucus upon the
pledge to support the candidatesof "the
Democratic party in future" How are
they to reconcile this pledge with their
preference for Grant, Republican Of
the most odious class, over such Demo
Gratis ms Seymour, Hancock, Tilden,
Bayard, Hendricks, or Thurman.
What is more remarkable still, they moi
only prefer Grant as first choice, but
Blaine, another Republican Of the ultri
school, as their second choice. w
hope these linen and brethren" vii
yet sec the error of the way they have
indicated their intention to 90. Mean
time the opinion of THE CLARION a
to the best mode Of organizing the eau
Gus for the preservation of its integrity
will not be forgotten.

The Public Health Bill-Senator
Brenham.

BY an error Of the types our legisla-
tive reporter was made to say, in re-
cent report that Mr.. Buchanan intro
duced into the Senate can act supple
mental to an net 10 amend the Statutes
in regard to the Board Of HEALTH
which was referred to the Committee on
Public Health and Quarantine. The
bill was introduced by Senator Brennan,
of Adams who by reason of his expert
once and learning as n physician, is very
properly chairman Of the Senate Com
mitteo on Health and Quarantine. In this
connection we will state that the Public
Health Bill has passed the Senate by an
almost unanimous vote and only awaits
the favorable action Of the House and
the approval of the Governor to become
u law. 1t is a proper and much-needed
measure.

The Mississippi Legislature and the
Presidential Question.

THE CLARION has taken the trouble
to ascertain the first and second choice
Of the members Of the Legislature,
for President, and the result is pub
lished in detail in another column.
1t will be seen that various pref
erences are declared, but. large
plurality are clearly for the grand old
farmor-statesman of New York, Hora-
ito Seymour. Gen. Winfield S. Han
cock is by long odds the second choice.
The expressions shows how the people of
Mississippi hold in remembrance the con.
duct of Gen. Hancock as military COM
mander of Louisiana and Texas, in the
memorable era of Reconstruction. 1t
was at that trying period, that the IL
lustrious soldier subordinated the milf
tary to the civil authority, and enunci-
ated those grand principles that are here
expressed and reproduced in his own
language:
The right of trial by jury--the Habeas
Corpus-the liberty of the Press--the freed
ON Of speech--the Natural Rights Of per-
SONS and the Rights of Property, must be
preserved,
What II glorious shibboleth would
this immortal declaration, coupled with
its practical enforcement by its author
for the protection of "A down-trodden
people, be for the Democratic party in
he coming Presidential election!

THE ReOdjusters (Repudiators) in the
Virginia Legislature have agreed upon
a bill reducing the principal of the State
debt by the elimination of the hereto
fore funded war, reconstruction and
compound interest debts from $50 900,
600 to $40, $3.50 900, reducing the rate Of
interest to 3 per cent; providing that
one-third Of the net revenue of the State
shall be paid into the Treasury to the
credit of the public debt as re-establish-
ed. Ofcourse, this means the repudia-
ton of nearly one-half of the public
debt, but they call it "re-adjusting" it.

In n circular to the Census Supervi-

census

ALL the colored members of the Vir-
GINA Legislature have united in let
ter to Massa Sherman, in which they de-
clare him their first choice for Presi-
dent. We learn that in Mississippi
the colored Republican leaders, espec-
tally in the Revenue service, are for
Sherman, and will in due season, give
the Grant boom the black eye.
