The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1881-12-28

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 26, 1881.
EDITORS CLARION: | noticed in a late
issue of your paper the suggestion for en-
larging the Deaf and Dumb Institute.
There is no doubt but the present location
is too small and not suited for that Institu-
ton. Why not sell that property and let
the Legislature make an appropriation to
improve the old location one mile west oil
Jackson on Jackson and Clinton road !
This is ii beautiful and healthy tract OF
twenty odd acres, where the pupils could
be made to help support the Institution in
the way of an orchard, garden, flowers, etc,
This property, managed as our Lunatic
Asylum is now, could in a few years almost
support the Institution besides, the land
adjoining this property is a very desirable
piece OF land and could be bought, and we
could have an agricultural college for the
benefit of the Deaf and Dumb Mutes.
make these suggestions as our Legislature
meets soon, and most respectfully call the
attention of the Legislature and the Trus-
tees to this suggestion.
Respectfully,
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1881-12-28

TRANSPORTATION OF CATTLE.

The very strange statement is made
that the principal obstacle to the intro
duction Of improved stock cars which
admit OF regular feeding and watering OF
cattle en- route, is not in the unwilling
ness OF railway companies to aid in the
reform, but in the opposition Of cattle
shippers themselves.
ii the fraudulent and cruel practices
which are said to prevail among ship
pers be true, the fact ought to be more
generally known and a law put in force
that viii reach them.
One of the Eastern trunk lines, it is
stated, recently experimental with an
improved stock car, and would have
adopted it but for the opposition of one
OF its principal customers. This man is
in the habit OF depriving his cattle Of
water until they near the end of their
route. They are ied upon sailed hay
until their thirst becomes terrible. Just
before they are to be weighed for selling
they are allowed to drink all they can
for the purpose OF increasing their weight
TO the utmost.
Such like practices are said 10 be COM
mon in the East and West, and with
hogs as well as cattle No person with
a " honesty or humanity would prac-
tice or defend such cruelty, and the only
way to reach such rascals is with the
strong arm of the law.

ACCORDING to a correspondent OF the
Atlanta Constitution Mr. JEFFERSON DA-
VS. profits Of his history OF the late
war promise to be very large. The
cheapes, form OF the book is $40 for the
two volumes, and the price runs up to
SIS. Mr.. DAVIS cannot receive
less than - for each book sold, and the
sale Of over 90 900 copies is already as
sured. The English copyright has been
secured. Mr.. DAVIS has drawn nothing
from his publishers up to date, but there
are expenses Of secretaries, amauuenses,
&c, amounting to probably $4,000.
The contract with the APPLEroSs was
made six years ago. Mr.. DAVIS will
probably receive slOO,OOO as hls share of
OF the profits OF the first years sale.

rNyEsrMENTs FOE CAPITAL.

INVESTM ENTS FOE ChflfAh.
English capital is coming to this
country seeking investment with a
reckless eagerness.
America is now looked upon by the
world as the great field for speculation.
Old England is used up. The commerce,
the manufactures, the agriculture and
the mines OF England are all past their
prime and on their decline.
Capitalists in England must seek new
fields for investment or 90 to work.
London banks are ehoked with money
which cannot find employment.
Our own country has never been
making such rapid strides toward deyel-
opment as now. The English capital
brought into competition with our own,
makes all kinds of schemes for railroad
construction and like favorite invest
ments, possible.
We can stand it. We can put large
share of English or American capital to
use in VEST Virginia, where it will do
good. There are no signs OF exhaustion
in this State. There are timber and coal
and ores enough to employ millions OF
money for the next twenty years. Let
the English and American capitalists
come into West Virginia and compete
for the chances we can offer. We want
railroads first, and will give them an
unlimited field of operations in this Iii.
rection. We have as fresh field as
can be found in all the West.

JEFF. DAVIS ON CIVIL Service
REFORM

The chief Of the Coniederacy is able
10 give GARFIELD and the modern poll
tieian practical example OF the civil
service ideas that prevailed before the
war, which is in striking contrast with
those which obtain under the pres.
ent administration. In his new book,
DAVIS gives the following incident in his
experience az Secretary of War:
''Soon after my entrance upon duty
as Secretary OF War, Gen. JEsUP, the
Quartermaster General, presented to me
list of names from which to make a
selection of clerk for his department.
Observing that he had attached certain
figures to their names | asked whether
the figures were intended to indicate the
relative qualifications or preference in
his estimation OF the several
applicants, aud upon his answer in
the affirmative, without further aues-
ton, authorized him to appoint M. / of
his list. "A day or two afterward, GER
tain Democratic members Of Congress
called on me and politely inquired
whether il was true that had appoint
ed a Wing to position in the war OF
ficeP Certainly not / answered. we
thought you were not aware OF it,
said they, and proceeded TO inform me
that Mr.. -, the recent aspointee to
the elerkship Just mentioned,
was Wing. After listen
ing patiently to this statement |
answered that il was they who were de-
ceiyed, not ]. i had appointed a clerk.
He had been appointed neither as
whig nor rs a Democrat, but merely as
the fttFst candidate for the place in the
estimation OF the chief of the bureau to
which il belonged. / further gave them
TO understand that the same principle OF
selection would be followed in similar
cases, so far as my authority extended.
After some further discussion OF the
question the visitors withdrew, dissatis-
ned with the result OF the interview. The
Quartermaster.G General, on hearing OF
this conversation, fastened to inform
me that il was all mistake-that the
appointee 10 the Office had been con-
founded with his father, who was a well
known Wing, bot that he (the son) was
A Democrat. | assured the general that
this was altogether immaterial, adding
that it was a very pretty quarrel as ii
stood, and that had no desire to effect
A settlement OF it on any inferior issue.
Thenceforward, however, / was bot lit
tle troubled with any pressure for politi.
cal appointments In the department"

TIM AMENDED Road LAWS.

ThH AkGn1Ab nSA0 Law
Since the adjournment Of the Legs
lasure the amended roadlaw has come
into very general discussion throughout
the State.
Judging from the tone Of the State
Press, tbs same amount Of criticism, OF
complaining and disputing have arisen
under the amended law that existed I'M
der the old one.
The amended law is simply another
effort to provide for the construction Of
public roads without skill, without Ia.
Dor, and without cost.
There is no statute in existence which
30 completely ignores the virtue OF the
old proverb that ''there is no excellence
without great labor" as does the West
Virginia road law. 1t is an attempt to
circumvent all natural law and the les
sons OF political economy by bungling,
inpracticable statute.
Such legislation does not diminish
but increases the expense OF good
road. II makes no provision for good
road. Therefore when the people oil any
county or locality determine to have a
good road they must provide for 1t them
selves in way that makes it expensive
to the few, because the many are under
no obligation to assist in such an enter
prise.
The people OF West Virginia, and es-
pecially their legislators, stubbornly re-
sisr any recognition OF the fact that
road-making IS a science. 1t 10 a very
simple operation in the view oil the
masses, but, nevertheless, no unskllled
labor-unless under skilliul supervision
has ever yet made a good road
IL is seldom that with all the
money necessary at Commando good
street in a city can be produced. There
is more money buried in the city streets
simply from lack OF skill in their con-
struction than would pave them with
the most costly material. To pay for
the experience OF man who knows some
thing about laying oil, Surveying, round
ing, draining and stoning road, besides
a multitude OF other things which real
ly come within the scope OF technical
knowledge, is the cheapest part OF road
making, but it rates below par in our
State. A skilled engineer would be re-
garded as belittling himself to descend to
road making, but ii he could make good
road he would not only honor his pro-
fession but entitle himself to compen-
sation equal to that gained in any other
branch Of his profession.
As matter of economy, OF public
thrift, and busines s-llke use OF the
public funds, il is time We were done
with the picayune policy 50 long pur'
sued in regard to the public roads. II
is time that these impractical, inopera'
tive and senseless road laws were wiped
from the statute book. There is but
one provision OF the whole mass OF road
law that has enough sense or eonsisten-
cy in it 10 give the State a single good
road, and that is made an "slternative"
method which old fogyism has never al
lowed to be put into operation. 1t Is
the basis OF practical ami efficient road
law, and is capable of being improved
intos tirst-class system. The people
should instruct their representatives to
perfect it when they come together again
next winter.

ALTHOUGH there are State officers and
a Legislature to elect in Ohio this fall,
there is a seeming lack OF interest thus
far. The Republicans at Cleveland yes
terdsy went through the cut and dried
programme in a matter OF fact kind of
way. The Presidents party in his own
State is by no means in a hopeful con-
dition. Thele are the heart-burnings
left by the unexpected outcome Of the
Chicago convention; the settled disgust
Of the temperance people at the failure
OF the Republicans to redeem their
pledges; and now an added element Of
discomfort in the irritation of the
GRANr.CoSKLISa Stalwarts-not a nu.
merous body, but sufficient in point Of
influence to make a decided difference
in so close State in an off.year. The
Democrats show sigps of waking up.

canvass ought to be one Of the most in.
teres:ing in the country.

Rescued From Dead


The following statement of William
J. Coughlin, Of Someryiile. Mass. Is SO
remarkable that we beg 70 ask for il
the attention of Y readers. He says:
"In the tall of 1876 / was taken with
a violent bleeding Of the lungs, followed
by q eyere cough 1 o began to
lose my appetite and flesh. / was so
weak at ONT time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer Of 1877 1 was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said l had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. l
expended 9 a hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. l wa so far
gone at one time a report went around
that l was dead. / gave up hope, but
a friend told me of DIR. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. l laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
i~ncurable, but 1 got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratif-
cation, / commenced to feel better.
My hope, once dead, began u revive,
and to-day 1 feel In better spirits than
1 have the past three years.
~ write this hoping you will publish
it. SO that every u afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
car be cured. / have taken two bot
ties, and can positively say that it has
done more good than all the other
medicines l. have taken since my sick
ness. My cough has almost entirely
disappeared. and l shall soon be able to
go to work." Sold by druggists.
