A Deserved Tribute,

Southwestern Presbyterian.
1t is among the current announcements
of the day, that Mr.. j. G. Clarke, the Vice
President of the New Orleans & Chicago
Railroad, has resigned his position Wheth-
er this will lead to a permanent separation
from the road which he has managed with
such consummate ability, or whether it is
only step to a reorganization which will
place him in a higher position, we have not
ascertained. But in either case, it would
be proper to pay a tribute to the ability
and energy which Mr.. Clarke has infused
into the road, and to the high state of eff
cheney into which his management has
brought it. From being one of the worst
roads in the country, it has been made one
of the best. The common complaint used
to be, that it was an institution run to the
disadvantage of all who live along the line
We do not hear that complaint now. On
the contrary, the wise policy of the road
seems to be to advance the material pros
peritv of all the country through which it
passes. Personally, Mr.. Clarke enjoys the
respect and confidence of all. His intense
energy and conscientious devotion to the
road, may have impaired his health so much
as to render it necessary. But any change
which would withdraw him permanently
from this section of the country, would be
considered little short Of a calamity. The
loss would be felt throughout the whole
business community.

The Forty-Fifth Year Completed.

With this issue, The CLARION CON-
pletes the forty-ffth year of its history.
The paper was established at Paulding
in 1897. and was known for many years
Is "The Eastern Clarion and Paulding
Palladium" During the war period,
it was published at Meridian, and I'M
mediately thereafter removed to Jack
son. It has been under its present
management since 1866. Gifts useful
ness to the State since that time it may
not become US to speak, but We enter
upon tie future with the firm purpose
to profit by past experience, and with a
determination more than ever to make
TIE CLARION a household necessity.
To the many friends who have eheered
US, in shade and sunshine, We again re
turn our grateful acknowledgements
and it will not be our fault if the circle
Of or patrons is not more widely eE
tended during the coming year.
As already announced, the price O
subscription has been reduced to sl.5'
per annum, and this reduction extended
to those who have been in arrear, most o
whom, we are pleased to say, have pal'
and renewed for 1883. After this Issue
ne will return to the strictly cash-ln
advance rule, and the paper will be dis
continued to all who have overlooked tn

WHEN rouges fall out, the truth
comes to light. The prominent lead

GENTLEMEN have this day at hand
your letter of the 18th inst, officially in
forming me that the special Council of the
diocese of Mississippi, assembled in St. An
drew's Church, Jackson, has presented me
to the Bishops and standing committees as
its choice for the Office of Assistant Bishop
of Mississippi.
The information is received with profound
humility and frank sense of my unwor-
thiness of the great Office you desire to lay
upon me, going out and coming in among
you.
At present, while awaiting the action Of
the Church, ask your prayers for her that
her officers may be guided to wise decis-
ion, and for myself, that | may have the
grace given, neither rashly to assume nor
cowardly to decline any responsibility which
our Lord, through His Spouse and Body,
may SHOULD His will be so) order me TO

you, dear brethren, to the goodness and
grace of God, trusting meanwhile, that the

the diocese of Mississippi, that be may pro-
vide for it in His wisdom, according to its
needs.
When the church has taken action upon
your choice, should it be my duty to give
you my decision, will do so, Ihope, in
the fear Of Gcd, and under the leading of
His grace, earnestly sought and given to me

The Christmas Holiday.

All the Christian world rejoices in the
Christmas holiday. Every people have
commemoration peculiar to themselves
but they all unite in celebrating the
advent of the carpenters son over whom
shone the star in the East, and who was
born to lead mankind from darkness into
the Joyous light of eternal day. The
essence of goodness is in the words
Glove thy neighbor as myself. The
essence of justice is in the words:
"Whatsoever We would that Others
should do to you, doye even so to them. "
The fitting illustration of these divine
precepts is the brotherly greeting Of
friends, the interchange of gifts, the
dispensing of charity, and the exercise
of good viii to all, on TIE day commora-
tive of His birth.
This year, Christmas finds our coun-
try at large generally prosperous; and
our beloved commonwealth still rallying
from the slough of despond into which
i'll fortune had plunged her. Let our
resolve be renewed to still strive for
happy issue out of our troubles, and a
still brighter day for the future
From the altar of every Christian
heart will arise the incense of gratitude
for life spared, and for the blessings
. which are within the reach of all who
struggle to attain them. Nevertheless
we "would not live Away" 1t is an
impressive lesson which the fable of
Tithonus teaches, of human being en-
dowed with immortality and surviving
every old comrade, every cherished af-
fiction, and everysmanly attribute, and
finally praying for death. The fable
tells how life itself if extended beyond
its allotted time, would become bur-
den. But while we live, let us live in
the rational enjoyment of the good cheer
which the Christmas holiday brings.

The Mandamus case.

Yesterday was the day fixed for hear
ing the petition fled by the District At
torney on the relation of J. R Chal-
mers-counsel for Chalmers, Messrs.
Nugent 4 Melville, and for Manning,
Messrs. E. II. Watson and L. Brame.
The court having conyened-Judge
Wharton presiding, cocnsel for chai-
mers read the petition, to which coun-
sci for the Secretary of State fled a
plea in abatement. To that plea the
petitioner fled a demurrer. The plea
in abatement to the I'd petition, in adj
dition to the facts stated in Is! petition,
recited that the Secretary of State had
refused to obey the order granted upon
the 1st petition, and prayed he be pro
ceeded against as In contempt of process
To that plea demurrer was fled ane
ON argument of counsel it was sustained
The ground Of the plea in abatement
was that the whole matter in issue wal
fully presented in the 1st petition, ant
would be disposed Of by the judgmen
of the court on that petition. FoI
which reason, the demurrer was sus
tanned. The court stated in delivering
It's opinion on the demurrer that thu
whole matter in issue was presented II

the question Of jurisdiction to grant tn
order which was granted, in the frs
instance, restraining the Secretary o
State from proceeding with the count o

of the Commissioners Of Election, whiel
showed that James r. Chalmers re
ceived 1872 votes, and the tally-shee
attached thereto, which showed tina
J. r. .Chambless received 1472 votes
that If it should be decided that tn
f court had no such jurisdiction, then th
! Secretary of State was justifable in dli
obeying it, bul if it was decided it ha
such jurisdiction then a writ would |

) contempt of its process. The cour
c further stated that, in the latter que
ton, no intimation of opinion would b
given until full argument was hat
The case will be decided at the ensuin
