The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1881-05-26

U. S. MARSHAL HUNT arrived in this
city yesterday morning, and, as we antici-
pated, that suspicious looking envelope did
contain certain processes from the United
States Court at Jackson. During the day
Maj. Hunt served capiases on Messrs. CASH
us L. Tiliman, Geo. T. REIN, and S. s
Meekins, (colored,) who were inspectors and
clerks of election at the Jefferson Hotel
precinct at the election held in November,
1880. They are charged with preventing
voters from voting at that precinct at the
election named.-Natchez Democrat.
Several other citizens were also ar
rested. Suppose the persons who are
thus prosecuted should, on conviction,
take an appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States, they will be con-
fronted in advance by the appointment
to that court of Stanley Matthews who
is an avowed believer in the constitu-
tionality of the laws under which they
were prosecuted, and holds that it is
the habitual practice of the Southern
people to violate them.

THE CLARION, knowing Stanley Mat
thews' record as well as it knows that OF
any other politician in America, declar,
ed that his nomination was not fit to be
made as soon as it was announced. We
were not then appraised, and did not be-
lieve, that it would receive the support
of a single Democrat. Still when it
came to light that it was received with
favor by certain Democrats, we were
charged with attacking" somebody.
Now, here comes the Grenada Sentinel.
which says:
The Senate has finally confirmed the nomin-
alton of Stanley Matthews to be associate
Justice of the Supreme Court The obiec-
tions which were urged against Mr.. Mat
thews by both the Republicans and Demo
Gratis, were various and we'll founded. Every
one. we believe comedies To him ability, but
there are other requisites as important as
the legal learning which may be necessary
to fit any one for position as exalted as
that to which Mr. Matthews has been called
by a majority of Just one vote. u nan whose
career has proved him to be politician of
the INSCRIPTIONS order, one who believes
that everything is fair in politics in order
to bring success to his party, is unfit to sit
upon the bench of the United States Su-
preme Count. Stanley Matthews is unwor-
thy to fill the position to which he has been
called, not only because he is a politician
of the tricky and INSCRIPTIONS order, but
for other reasons that stand equally as
strong against him.
Now we hope the journals that can't
see anything good in THE CLARION, will
not Judge the Sentinel as uneharitably.

Now we do not want to misrepresent The
CLARION, but it certainly does not claim
that it is supporting Mr.. Lamar for re-elec-
ton, or that it is misunderstanding Her
aid.
Certainly, THE CLARION has never
protested to support the reelection Of
Mr.. Lamar, or any other man, in ad-
vance of a nomination, but it has pro-
fessed to be, and is, neutral between
members Of its party who may aspire to
the Senate We are in favor of the
choice of the Democratic caucus, and
until itdecides, we will maintain our posi-
ton ofneutrality. lt's the habit of this
paper to be neutral between men, and
to be open and decided as To principles
and measures. We have done no in
Justice to any one, unless difference of
opinion can be so construed. As for
the right OF instruction" to which the
Herald refers. our difference with Mr.
Lamar, is as wide as the poles are apart.
We hold that the Legislature under our
Constitution and laws, is the constitu-
ency of the Senator, and that the people,
speaking through 1t, their cons ituted
channel, have a right to instruct and to
be obeyed. But anxious for the other
side to be heard, we have published all
the arguments that have been furnished
us against the right of instruction"
1t il an omen secret that the commune
cations from "a. 3 c." on that side of
the question were contributed by one Of
the ablest men in the State, and that

refusing to vote for the silver bill. they
were designed, was privy to their pro-
duction and furnished some of the data
and arguments which were used by our

Irish Immigration.

The immigration from ireland to the
United States was nearly double IN
1880, when it was SO, 900, what it was
in 1879, and it is estimated at least
100 900 Irishmen will arrive in the
United States in 1881. These are the
kind of immigrants We want in Missis-
sippi. Of them the Chicago Journal
Republican, says: NEARLY all of the
Irishmen who immigrate, come to the
United States and the worst thing at
least three-faiths of them do after getting
here, is to join the Democratic party i'm

Eds. Independent

Eds. Independent:
There appeared in the INDIE
PENDENT of the 23rd an item from
Johnsontown, which contains seri-
Gus and unjust reflections upon q
worthy citizen, against whose char
acter not a shadow of faint or sus-
picion has heretofore been cast; and
the insinuations contained in that
item are wholly without foundation.
allude to the charge OF a wooden
coffin having been purchased and
represented az metallic. The infer
enco sought TO be conveyed is that
the party ordered wooden coffin,
and charged the estate with metal
lie. This is false and libelous.
As evidence Of this the coffin was
furnished at the price named, and
the bill for that amount made out
against the estate and paid, not by
the party who ordered the coffin but
by one Of the Executors. A wood
en- coffin was furnished, but it was
not charged for as metallic. Now
in all fairness, is there or could there
be anything wrong in this 7 IL the
party who ordered the coffin had got
wooden one, and charged the cs-
tate for metallic, and pocketed
the difference, as insinuated by the
Johnsontown correspondent, then he
would have deserved all the condem-
nation heaped upon him. But such
was not the case. The undertaken
furnished a wooden co&u and only
charged for what he furnished.
This statement both the Undertake
er and the Executor who paid the
bill will testify.
The gentleman whose reputation
is assaulted does not know the john
sontown correspondent, and it is
faihto presume that he has an enc
my behind the writer, who thus
seeks to do him an injury, under
cover. Those who dig pitfalls for
others have been known to fall into
them themselves.
The gentleman whose character
has thus been ruthlcssly assaulted was
born and raised in the community
in which he now lives. He has
worked out his own reputation for
honesty and strict integrity, among
the people who have known him
from his infancy. No shafts of envy
can effect him with those who know
him. An upright and blameless
life is proof against all the arrows Of
calumny'
We have made this statement in
simple justice to an upright and
worthy citizen. The facts will be
bourne out by the statement of the
Undertaken who furnished the cof-
fin, and by the Executor who paid
for it. JUSTICE.
