silver and Greenbaclks.


Greenbacks are convertible into
coin" Therefore they conform to the
Democratic standard of '.honest money, !"
and they may be cIassed as Democratic
money. But for the Democratic ma
jority in Congress, greenbaeks would
have been retired from circulation; and
but for their efforts they would have
been deprived of their legal tender
functions. In this connection it is well
to remember what is so strongly put by
that orthodox Democratic journal, the
St Louis Republican, that the Eastern
Republicans who give tone to Republic
can sentiment and direct the policy Of
that party, care in favor Of second
demonstration Of silver, and the abso-
lutte retirement forever Of the greenbaek
notes now constituting so important and
beneficial part of our money system.
They declare that silver is a debased
metal, the coinage Of it ought to be
arrested, and the amount already coined
under the silver bill ought to be melted
up, moulded into bricks and sold as bull
lion They declare also, that the $780,,
600, 900 greenbacks, now circulating as
good currency, ought to be cancelled
and retired, so as 10 make room for an
equal amount Of national bank notes,
and they will demand this at the hands
Of the first Republican Congress that
shall be elected. If, therefore, Garfield
should be the next President, with
Republican majority in Congress, the
people may bid good-by to greenbacks
and silver, and prepare themselves for
a limited supply Of money consisting Of
gold and national bank notes exclusive
Iy. According to the theory of the
Eastern Republicans, there is too much
money in the country, and about one
third of it must be got rid of"

Liquor Law.

Under the title Local Option" IA the
Holly Springs South, Of recent date, some
good lawyer takes me to task for certain
expressions used in an article on the new
Code, published in TIE CLARION of July
2lst.
IN defining retailers as a class, did not
mean to assert that the local option feature
Of the law would apply only to those selling
in less quantities than one pint.
am inclined to agree with the views ex-
pressed by my friend. But there is difficulty
in deciding exactly what the word "retail,"
in 1897 of the new Code, means. That
section\ refers to the Revenue Law, which
imposes a privilege tax of 500 on those who
sell from one pint to five gallons, and $50
on those selling from one gallon up. See
new Code, p. 189. Now if We prevent retail
ing, at what point do we stop?
| will PROFOUND one other question, which
hope the writer in the South will answer :
The Revenue Law above referred to, is in
force, but chapter 80 of the new Code will
not be until November l. Is it lawful now
to sell liquor in quantities greater than one
pint by complying with the Revenue Law {?

Why the South Remains Solid.

The Republican party has, all through
this summer, made tremendous effort
to energize the passion Of hate among
the Northern people toward their South
ern fellow-citizens. they represent the
latter as fahoos and Hopyhumps, de-
graded and iIIiterate, bloodthirsty ana
dangerous. The Southern people travel
in large numbers through the Northern
States, spending weeks in Northern
cities and Northern watering places,
and their Northern fellow-citizens mao
them 10 he Intelligent ladies and gen
tIemen. Northern people go through
the Southern States, and they find no
such people as are pictured in the
Northern Republican papers. They
are told by he Republican leaders
that it is their duty 10 hale the South
err people as aliens, but they find that
they have SO many interests IN common
that it neither pays TO hats them nor
treat them as aliens. Knowing this,
the Republican editors continue to adj
wise the treatment Of the Southern
people IA Tue enemies of the country,

The Republicans want to return us
to carpet-bag rule and to the pay
ment of $14 taxes where we now pay 50
in Mississippi. Would it not be fatal to our
prosperity? What right minded Mississip-
plan is willing to take the risk How many
Greenbackers hate the Democracy so much
that they will prefer the success of the
Radical party, which would make an end
of all hope of their financial reform, rather
than see the Democratic party succeed in
which their policy has thousands of friends
The election of Garfield and Buchanan
would be fatal, and a vote for Harris is a

Cotton Prospects stin Unfavorable.

After the four or FIVE days of good
weather, extensive rains have again
fallen, putting stop to cotton picking
and causing still greater damage to the
crop. The planters have sadly realized
the old maxim, that it never rains but
it pours, and calamities to the crop
have not come singly but in battalions.
The crop is too far advanced to recuper-
ate, and in Mississippi the falling off
from the crop of 1879, has not been ex-
aggerated in the estimating it at from
thirty to fifty per cent.

Mississippi Census TO be Overhauled.

The following statement Is made III
the Washington Republican Of the 1st ::
1t is stated that the tabulation of the
census returns from Mississippi reveal
startling discrepancies, which indicate clear
" a rottenaSss lar to the South Caro-
lima returns. These 9erTQrs" or false re-
turns were deemed of sufficient Importance
to warrant the detail of prominent officer
of the bureau to visit that Etate and make
personal investigation OF the MATES, The
gentleman left for Mississippi last night
This is the first intimation we have
had of doubt even that the census re-
turns from Mississippi afe not accurate.
Two Of the three Supervisors IN Missis-
sippi, Messrs. Gibbs and Bynum, are
Republicans The other, Col. William
Handy, is Democrat, and in letter
to us of a recent date, he incidentally
mentions that his work is done and it is
''alI right SEd We will bet our bottom
dollar that it is just as he says. Nor
is there any reason to question: the
accuracy of the returns Of Messrs.
Gibbs and Bynum. Doubtless the
startling discrepancies deferred to are
the differences between the returns of
1880 and the pretended census of 1870,
which on investigation will be shown to
have been an unmitigated fraud.

One of the main issues of the canvass
is whether the States shall lose their

their selfgoverning principle and the
federal government be controlled within

its builders. This question is thorough
" discussed by Governor Seymour, of

Senators expire next March. OF these
IA are Democrats and II are Republi-
cans. The changes that will occur and
that have occurred may diminish the
present majority, but. the Senate will
almost certainly remain Democratic.
The House of Representatives, as
now constituted, has 149 Democrats,
100 Republicans and II Greenbackers
so that the Democrats have a majority
over all. The indications are that the
Democratic majority in the House will
be reached, if not overcome The
Republicans have to gain but IL dis
tricts to have majority of but one over
all. Enough is known to make it certain
that party majorities ON either side
must be exceedingly close. But the
probabilities are that the Democrats
will hold their own. They may proba-
bly, gain few members. The corporars
