THE Philadelphia Times seeing the
possibility of the rejection of the nomi-
nation of Stanley Matthews says ::
Probably Mr.. Hayes sees by this time
that the price he agreed to pay for the
Louisiana dicker was bigger than he
hargained for. The Republican opposi-
ton in the Senate is more pronounced
than the Democratic" If the latter
part of the statement be true, more's the
pity; but we don't believe it.

THE St. Louis Republican, the lead
ing Democratic paper in that city, says
that the Democrat who votes for the
confirmation of Stanley Matthews, of
Ohio, viii be barred in the future from
any denunciation of the great crime OF
1851; for if one of the chief crimi-
mails is a proper person to administer
law and justice in the Supreme Court,
the less Democrats say about the crime
itself the better for their constituency.

Matches, Jackson and Columbus
Railroad Company.

The report of Gen. Martin, President
of this company, of its operations for
the past year, shows that its condition
is highly favorable. The assets OF the
company consist of forty-three miles OF
completed road, about twenty-five miles
of graded road-bed, and with rolling
stock, depot, grounds, and cash ledger
balances valued at $675, 119 10. The
heavy rains in the fall and reduced
cotton crop contiguous to the road ope-
rated unfayorably, but Notwithstanding
these hindrances, its income over eX-
penses has increased. The interest has
been promptly paid and the credit of
the Company maintained. An early
addition to its rolling stock will soon be
made to meet the requirements of its
increasing business. in passengers as
well as freight. a contract has been
made for all the earth-worth from
Martin to Jackson, and large force
is employed for that purpose. Ga the
whole the prospects of the enterprise are
as encouraging as its warmest friends
could expect, thanks to the energy and
business tact of the President of the
Company.
THE trial of Col. Holman in Wash
ington county was remarkable among
other things for the eloquence and abili
ty of the argument of counsel on both
sides. For the prosecution the speech
of Hon. \. j. McLaurin is described as
as an extraordinary specimen of forensic
power-terse, logical and eloquent-as
were those of Messrs. Walthall and
Meek for the defence. The Greenwood
Flag makes the following mention of
the speech of Col. Percy on the same
side
Senator Peery called in to see US on his
return from Greenvile, whittier he had
been to attend the trial of Col. ID. 4. Hol,
man. He represents the speech of Col Percy
in defense of the accused as being unsur-
passed, even by the famous speech of :. $.
Prentiss, in Kentucky, in defense of Judge
Wilkinson. The mastery grouping of the
facts in the case and the portrayal of the
circumstances and conditions as presented
to the Court, seemed to sway the jury and
the audience as the winds of heaven sway
the grass on the plains that the Almighty
has implanted there to obey its commands,
and those who heard him agreed that the
speech marked his as one of the master
minds of the State and of the age.

THE census returns are dispelling not
a few popular delusions, among which
the supposed declension of the South is
the most notable. The increase of pop
ulation throughout the South during
the past decade stands at 31.05 against
1886 in the North in general, while the
per centage of increase in all New Eng
land has been only 14.70, and in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New
Jersey, taken together, only 1902. The
fifteen so-called Southern States have
added 4,277, 700 to their population,
and the twelve Western and Pacific
States 1851 ,805.

The u. s. Circuit Judgship-Judges
Simra1l and Chandler.

Says the Aberdeen Examiner touch.
ing the appointment of Judge of the
Z. S. Circuit Court
Our distinguished fellow citizen Judge
Simrall, has been persistently and eloquente
ly urged for the position by Senator Lamar
backed by the whole Mississippi delegation
and we have reason to think Judge SimralI
would have been named by Mr.. Hayes, but
for the fact that the Mississippi Republicans
in the blind hope of promoting the chances
of the Attorney of the Northern District,
Judge Chandler, for the position, have rep
resented Simrall to the Executive and At
torney General as pronounced and earnest
Democrat, saying, that, eff a Democrat is
to be appointed they prefer him to any other
in the State or South, but want a Republic
can"
As between Judges Simrall and
Chandler, we have nothing to say. As
lawyers both are qualified. But we
doubt the correctness of the Examiners
surmise that the fraudulent President
would have appointed either. His APP
pointments, especially his latest, those
of Billings and Wood, confirm the re
mark of the Meridian Mercury that he
has sold out the carpet-baggers. As
Bruce is a member of the Mississippi
delegation, he is included in the hackers
for Judge Simrall, but it seems that
even he has lost his grip.

The Governorship-Hon. G. w. Hal
per.

After cnncedng all that is claimed for
each of the gentlemen named in connection
with the next gubernatorial contest, we
must beg leave to say in the length and
breath of the Commonwealth a man better
ments, for that high and responsible office,
press, Geo. w. Harper, of the Kinds County
Gazette. Maj. Harper is a man whose
conservatism, both of character and politics,
would give US assurance of a wise and
temperate administration of the affairs of
State. At the same time the fxedness of
purpose and unyielding devotions to what
ever appears right, that have characterized
him through long life of usefulness in
journalism and politics, leaves no room to
doubt that the rens of government would
be held with a firm and steady hand
Mayersyille Spectator.
Maj. Harper's name was inadvertently
omitted from the list of those mentioned
in our last number, who had been re-
commended for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation by their friends. In publishing
the foregoing tribute to our esteemed
countyman and able co-laborer, who is
worthy Of what is so well said of him
we trust we will be excused for an
apparent departure from THE CLARIoN's
well known attitude of neutrality
between political friends, until the
speaks.

The Philadelphia Times says what
everybody knows TO be true that there
is ''no dispute in regard to his unscrupu-
lous crimes against order, law and JUS
tice during the notorious reign of the
carpet-bagger in Louisiana, and his APP
pointment stamps falsehood upon every
public profession, President Hayes has
made in favor of an honest judicial SER
vice"
In addition to the foregoing, proof
has been laid upon the desk of every Sem
ator, that in the office of Judge, Billings
has been corruptly controlled by money.
The following from the Aberdeen Elk
aminer tells what Senator Jonas of
Louisiana, is doing in the fight. Alas,
that the labor of so true a man should
be offset by Kellogg who has usurped
the other seat from that State:
The appointment of Billings hangs fire in
the Senate where the nomination is earnest
ly fought under the leadership of Senator
Jonas who is understood to have made
that If maintained will certainly result in
his rejection.

THE n. Y. Times, the leading Repub-
lican organ, argues that the way to
build up the Republican party in the
South is to enforce the laws for the pro-
lection of suffrage, and to improve the
civil service by putting better class of
Republicans in the federal offices. We
will repeat what we have before said
that in Mississippi the new Administra-
publican party to find a better class of
appointments than it now has and we
have instanced such men as Lea,
Chandler, Hancock, Hill, Spellman, Gal
breath, Kerr, Woford, and divers and
sundry others, not necessary to mention.
Official incapacity and the corrup-
ton In the State came from the State
government, which the Grant Admins
tration for years propped with its bay
onets; the Ameses, the Cardozas and that
tribe of filthy birds that have taken their
exit forever. If the incoming Republi-
can Administration desires to be
regarded in this State as a fair dealing
party entitled to respectful considera-
ton, let it repeal IT'S odious election
and high tariff laws, and other centraliz-
ing measures; and desist from keeping
alive sectional issues to the prejudice
of the rights of the Southern States to
an equal enjoyment of the benefits of
the common government.
