The Brookhaven ledger. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-12-15
Gen. LoHrY's Administration.


Gen. Lowry is called to the gu
bernatorial chair under singularly
suspicious circumstances. No man
has warmer personal friends. He
is trusted by the people without res
pcct to party and knows, feels and
appreciates it, We believe he has
no enemies to punish, aud the per
son who thinks he is to be run by
any man, or set Of men, if there be
such an one in the State, will be dis
appointed. He has been credited In
certain quarters with being a Bour-
bon, whatever that means; but if
that term is intended to designate
an irreconcilable politician, who
charles under the amendments to the
Federal constitution and an ire
pressible antagonism to any class
or color, it does not describe the
man. Genial by nature, conciliato-
ry from principle. his administra-
ton is likely to be one of the most
conservative the State ever had. He
will be betrayed into no expert
ments, and his great Office will be
administered in no partisan or mar
row spirit. Looking solely to the
interest of the State, and gathering
information from all sources before
acting, he will make q record for
himself that will, in all probability,
leave him without opposition for a
second term.
Gen. Lowry has one great advan-
tage. He is lawyer of extensive
practice and large experience, there
fore he will not be deceived by has
ty legislation or carried away by
that most dangerous class in all
Legislaturas-sha reformcrs.
Gen. Lowry will make good
Governor.

Mr. Arthur's Message.

The Presidents message has been
very highly commended by the pub
lie. Mr.. Arthur recommends "a
liberal appropriation for the i'm
provemcnt Of the Mississippi; the
application Of the money received
from the sales Of the public lands
to educational purposes, according
to the illiteracA of each State; the
opening up OF so much Of the In
dian Territory as is not occupied by
the Indians, and the allotments of
specific amounts Of laud to the red
man with view to compel the adop-
ton Of civil ways; the release Of
National Banks from ali taxes in
view of the reduction of the rate of
interest on the bonds deposited by
them for circulation: the abolition
of the stamp on bank checks and
matches, and other proprietary
stamps, and indorscs the recommen-
dation Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, the payment Of the arrears Of
pensions emitting, to abolish all
internal revenue save that derived
from whisky and tobacco He is
opposed to the disturbance Of the
bonds. unless q lower rate of utter
est than three per cent. is secured.
He urges economy in every branch
Of the government. and endorses
the recommendation Of the Postmas-
fcrGencral to prosecute the Star
route robbers.
lie wants the navy strengthened
by additional ships, and the army
increased up to their thirty hous-
aud men. He is earnest in his con
'lomnajion frolygamy,presses civil
service reform as Il necessity Of the
times, and favor5 q revision Of the
tariff. He briefly refers to the as
sassination Of Garfield, devotes some
attention to our friendly relations
with other nations and congratu-
Iates the people on the general pros
perity, and the peace and good will
which prevails at home and abroad,
and promises to see that the laws
arc enforced and Administered in u
spirit ofjusticc.

An Insane Clamor.

There is a clamor raised In some
quarters for a sweeping reduction
Of salaries--from Governor down,
including Judges and Chanccllors.
Exchange.
That clamor is annually raised,
either by people who do not know
what our public officers get, or by
those who have no idea of the value
of iirst-class mans time. We he.
lieve that Mississippi pays her Off
GERS less than any State IN the
South. Let us look at the salaries
they receive. The Governor gets 4
salary of $4,000 per annum; Judges
Of the Supreme Court, $500 each;
Circuit Judges, Chancellors, Secre-
tary of State, Auditor, Treasurer,
Attorney General, -, 800 each; Su-
perintendents of Education, S.
900; Commissioner of immigration,
81 900; Licutcnant-Go Governor, $500;
Senators and Representatives re-
ceiye $500 for two years service.
There is no demand for Il reduction
ofpublic officers salaries. Retrench-
mcnt in that direction has been car
ricd too far in some instances. The
salary of Governor is too small.
That officer cannot live in q manner
bctitting his station on $4,000 per
year; IS 900 would be a small sala-
~ fer a Governor. Then there is
no reason why the Superintendent
of Public Education should receive
$500 less than other State officers.
He has as much work to do as any
of them, and should receive the
same pay We cannot expect = very
brilliant Legislature as long rs the
salary of members for two years
service is kept at 800 each. With
rare exceptions, b"t few men Of fine
ability will offer for the Legislature,
because the salary will not cover
their actual expenses, saying moth
ing Of the injury 10 their business
caused by their absence.
| When the Democrats came in
power they found the State deeply
in debt and the saIaties Of public
officers enormous. The carpet-bag
ger and Southern traitors had adj
ministered the affairs of the State
solely for the purpose Of enriching
themselves. In 1876 the white
Democrats defeated the scamps who
had controlled the State for years,
and at once reduced all the salaries
of officers, and the State debt has
about been paid off.
There is no necessity for further
reduction.

The following extracts of the
proceedings OF the Guiteau trial
will show what liberty is allowed
the prisoner. 1t will also show that
the bottom is about to drop out of
the insanity plea:
After recess several more witness
es testified to transactions more or
less dlsreputable in Guiteau's past
life. and the prisoner abused them
all, calling them liars and every
abusive epithct he could think OF.
Several applications for life insu-
rance policies were put in evidence,
in which Guiteau asserted there was
no insanity in his family. Guiteau
poured out such torrent of abuse
upon the witnesses that there was
difficulty in conducting the proceed
ings.

Gen. Jas 3. Steadman. having pnr,
chased the Toledo (Ohio) Sunday Dem
ocrat and come out boldly for Mr.. Til
den as the Democratic candidate in
1884. the suspicion arises that Stead
man has New York partner in the
Democrat. The General was formerly
q Strong antiTiiden man. but on max
ing visit to New York, which included
a call at Gralnmary Park, he returned
equally set in tho other direction. His
theory now is that The Convention OF
1880 made grave mistake which that
of 1884 should rectify.-1elegram.
We don't know whether there is any
truth in the above or not; but one thing
we know. and all sensible people admit
1t, that the Democratic Convention held
in Cincinnati, June. 1880. did make o
very great mistake in not nominating
MIR. Tilden. When 1T abandoned the
fraud issue' nothing was left to make
the campaign upon. IF MIR. Tilden had
been nominated, he wonld have been
elected. II he is nominated in 1884.
the Democracy Will succeed. Other
wise. We fe:,r it will not.

A TERRIBLE railroad accident oc.
Cured at st. Charles. Mo, on the
Sth inst. The railway bridge across
the Missouri river at that place gave
way, precipitating an gentire freight
train of some thirty cars sixty five
feet into the river below. The ell
gineer, fireman and one other en-
ployee took the terrible plunge, but
strange to say two Of them escaped
without serious injury. The engin-
Ger was either killed by the fall or
drowned. His fireman came out of
the cab to the surface and was res
cued. Several stock men leaned
from the caboose in time to save
themselves as they saw the front of
the train plunging into the abyss.
