Buying Votes-News to Us.

The Washington special correspondent
Of the New York Herald, Charles
Nordhof by name, is a Hessian writer
who loses no opportunity TO discredit
and villify the South under the specious
guise Of fairness and ero" friendship.
Ia q feoecI or the 10Th which Is attract
ing considerable attention, he puts into
the mouth of Southern Senator" 4
statement that negro votes are easily
bought. From % cents to 81 and S3 is
the usual price as you may hear, any
where in the South. TO save our State
government, (says this Senator ace are
also compelled to Jty potes" The writer
must have drawn on his Imagination
for his facts. 1t il not possible that
Southern Senator" could have made
the statement so unfounded in fact, and
so derogatory at least to the white peo-
pie of the South who have been educa-
ted up to higher standard of morals
and politics. We reside in one of the
largest negro counties in the State, and
have yet to hear Of the first instance
Of a white man purchasing, or offering
to purchase, the yote of a colored man.
No such practice qs he attributes to our
people could be followed without Eollu-
ting and poisoning the sources Of their
political system, and corrupting and
debauching the morals of both races.
The alternative has not vet been pre-
scented OF returning to carpet-bag mis-
government, or averting the evil by
such desperate and suicidal expedient.
These governments as administered are
founded in wisdom, and are sustained
by the demonstration of their benefits
which are dispeliiRg the prejpdices and
suspicious of the mass of the colored
voters. If this Senator is not "a myth,
he is giving currency among our tradu- !
GERS to the evil reports which the South !

Our Sentiments.

/ The following editorial in the Port
Gibson Reveille expresses our senti-
ments in more fitting language than we
can employ;
+ In the long article in the Vieksburg Cons
mercial of Tuesday, defining the status of
I its editor, the writer wires in and wires out
in such way as 10 leave the reader quite in
doubt. We propose to do as we have all
ways done, and that is TO give our support
and vote TO the nominees of the Democrat
ic State and County Conventions; and
when nominated We have no questions to
ask as to whom they favor for this Office or
/ for that We do not propose to ask any
nominee what name he favors for one office
or another, and when the time comes, if he
sees fiji To vote for Mr.. Lamar on Mr.. any
body else for the Senate, he will hear no OBJ
lection or criticism from Us. But when We
get ready to declare a. the Commercial has
done, that we will not support or vote for a
candidate for Governor, the nominee of our
party, because he will not favor this man or
that, we shall cease to claim to be Demo
GRAFT We belong to an organized political
[
party, and we propose to be governed by its
usages. and TO stand by its nominees If
they don't exactly suit US in all things, they
suit Us in being the nominees in the regular
order of procedure adopted by the party,
and they shall have our support without
why or wherefore. Go thou and do likewise.
In like manner with reference to the Code
W. bava criticised il and are opposed to
some of its features, but We don't propose to
make that test nor do we intend TO ask
any candidate for the Legislature question
on the subject. II he IS the nominee he is
sufficiently endorsed for our purpose. We
have no AZ to grind, no aspiration to graft
fv. and no enmities to swerye us from par
ty fealty which is consecrated by forty odd
years of unwavering voting fidelity.
The able and pure-minded journalist
and veteran Democrat, Major Mason,
who writes the above, concludes in these
words, the truth and sincerity Of which
all who know him will attest:
We never tasted of the vintage of office,
nor profted farthing by the perquisities of
position. Our fidelity is founded upon an
intelligent, undying faith.
Ifevery member of the Convention
will enter it in the spirit Of the forego-
ing, and Will carry into the canvass the
same feeling, the continued success of
the party of economy and progress will
be assured

Death of Hon. Thomas n. Torrey.

The sudden death of Hon. Thomas
H. Torrey at his residence, Johnson
vile, Sunfower county, on the 18th,
was surprise and sorrow to his nu-
merous friends. He died unexpectedly
from a stroke of apoplexy after an
illness of only two hours. The deceas-
ed was son of Hon. George Torrey of
Jefferson county, and was a member of
the present Legislature. He was
lawyer of high promise, and gentle
man universally esteemed for his talents
and generous qualities. His death is
very great loss to the community in
which he lived and severe affection to
his family, to whom We extend our pro-
found sympathy.

The Cotton Exposition at Atlanta

The great feature of the exhibition
will be cotton, the machines, tools and
fertilizers used in Its cultivation, and
the machinery for its manufacture into
all kinds of cotton fabrics. The latter
are to be shown at work, and will of
themselves make very interesting
exhibition. All tie various kinds of
cotton are to be grown on the grounds,
other textile fabrics and their products
are to be shown by way of contrast to
the cotton, and a special exhibition is
to be given of other products of the
South, such as tobacco, sugar and rice,
as well as the products of the forests
and mines on lines of railroad converg-
ing in Atlanta. Variety will thus be
given to the exhibition, while cotton
will still remain king and be its leading
feature. The exposition will open Oc-
tober 9TH, 1881 and last until January
1St 1882

By the law of that State man and
woman who are competent to marry
each other, without going before min
lister or magistrate, without previous
public notice given, with no form or

no record or written evidence OF the act

themselves the relation of husband and

after that, the marriage is denied, proof
of actual coha bition as husband and

of each other to friends and acquaintan-
ces and the public as such, and the gen
eral reputation thereof, will enable a

The Commercials Firebrand.

We have not space for the lengthy
article in the Commercial in reply TO
the suggestion of THE CLARION that if
it is determined to force the Senatorial
election into the State Convention and
to make the support of one person the
test of fitness, 10 do it openly by resolu-
ton. and not by wire-pulling. Boiled
down, the substance of the Commercials
argument is this
The Senatorial election must "Iominate" all
others; and little common sense teaches Us
that clothing his the CONNIE c]ai s cholceb
enemies with power and official influence IS
not the best WAY 10 secure the end we 50
earnestly desire 70 accomplish Ii i maj orIty
Of the Democrats Of Mississippi concur WITH
we shall be gratifei; il they do not they
have our permission 10 60 the devil II II 80
pleases them
OF course the Convention don't
choose to take either horn Of the diem
ma. They have an aversion to the hot
country spoken Of by the Commercial,
and scarcely less aversion to instituting
a test hitherto unheard of in the history
of parties in this State. They will not
stand Bossism in any shape \ little
common sense" might have taught our
distinguished friend Of the Commercial
that no man who is fit to be Governor
would 80 far forget the obligations of
the office to which he would be elected
by the votes of the people, irrespective
of the Senatorial question, and SO far
show a want Of a becoming respect
for the Legislature, as to employ his
official influence in controlling an cleo
ton, which, under the Constitution
belongs to that body. The thing
the Commercial fears is the very Boss
ism which THE CLARION in common
with almost the entire Democratic press
Of the State is determined to suppress
if possible.
Admitting the truth of what we have
said that, ANY man who takes part a.
delegate, in the Democratic State Con
vention, is morally bound to abide its
decision, and to support the nominees
" mower tu6A may bC, Nltubul It4ti cHoC
to the Senatorial election" the Com
mercial says that it is precisely the reason
why It's editor evil not enter that Con
vention a. a deiegate!' This is manly, .
but what the difference in principle be-
tween personally entering the Conven-
ton and actually participating in the
choice of delegates and directing them
how TO act The theory of our Cohven
ton system, and indeed Of our represen-
tative government, is that the delegate
or representative, is but the servant Of
the people who stays behind and in
structs him what to do.
To the emphatic protest Of the Com
mercial that it declines to take lessons
in morals, manners or department from
any Of its contemporaries We beg leave /
for one to-enter an emphatic disclaimer Of
such a motive We recognize in the .
able editor of the Commercial our peer /
and would be glad to take lessons from
him if we could see evidence of the wis
dom and knowledge which should wait
on experience.

Another Granger Decision.

Another granger decision so-called
has just been announced by the Supreme
Court of the United States in regard to
the right Of State Legislatures to regu-
late and control Railroads within their
limits. The Georgia Legislature passed
bill fixing the rates of passenger fares
and freights on the railways in that
State, and the corporations resisted it.
Finally the case has reached
the Supreme Court at Wash
ington, Justice Woods delivers the
opinion of the court, in which the
right Of the Legislature of Georgia to
pass such law is maintained at great
length. The Court takes the ground
that it is the duty of the Legislature to
protect the citizens against unjust dis
ordinations in the charges of corpora
tions created by their act The has been
so often judicially declared, that it is
now unquestioned. The main thing is
to exercise the power discreetly.

How Hancock was Defeated.

Governor Seymour expresses the opin-
ion that but for the potent influence of
Office holders in the canvass on the Re
publican side, General Hancock would
be President. The Republicans have
kept power not through the people, but
through upwards of one hundred tkous-
and office holders. But if the Presi-
dency had not been stolen by the Re
publieans in 1876, II, the influence of
Republican office holders would not
have been thrown against the Demo
cretic party in 1880; and there is where
the battle was lost. The Electoral

As strong friends of peace between
the North and South, we are sorry to
see that politics, aid above all, section
alism, which has been the bane of the
country ever since the Republican party
was organized, ARE getting rampant again
in some of the New England religious
denominations. The New England Con-
ference, in session at Worcester, Mass,
the other day hoped that "a free ballot
.'and an honest count may come out Of
.'the deadlock in Congress-" meaning
that the essentials of free government
are not tolerated in the South, which is
a lie even if it is charged by New

The Silver Money Boom.

Advices from Europe are to the effect
that the principle of a bi-metallic mon
etary standard is making progress in
Germany, Belgium and England. The
last-named country will not, however,
send delegate to the Monetary Confer
ence at Paris, but ''whip the devil
around the stump" by permitting the
Government Of India to send a repre-
sentative. In the French Assembly re-
Gently NJ Magnin, the French Minister
of Finance, stated that the United States
Holland, Italy and Spain agree with
France upon the double standard. He
said that the object Of the forthcoming
conference was to establish information
al monetary regulations, and that France
would support bimetalism. Thus the
good work goes on. We look in vain for
the fearful results which were prophe-
sled by the gold-bugs when it was pro-
posed to re-establish silver in its right
full place as money.

We are told that the authors of the
fusion proposition fixed up at Washing
ton for the overthrow of the Democratic
party in Mississippi count upon 10000
white votes, and the entire 10000 ma
jority of negro voters. This is easily
said, but the difficulty is that the goods
don't belong to the Seheners and can't
be delivered. White voters have no
thought of re-establishing Republican
rule in this State, and the eolored voters
are not run by the Radical machine
any more.
