EDITORS CLARION: see in the supple
ment of March 1st, some remarks made by
Hon. j. F. McCool, of Alfalfa, on the I'M
migration bill. They correspond with nv
sentiments so fully I cannot refrain from
saying few things in addition / think
it looks very small in set of men 10 want
to expend fifty or one hundred thousand
dollars for Commissioner of Immigration
to have shipped to our State foreigners to
attend to our business. have noticed one
thing: when you see man strong for
immigration, he has very little confidence
in himself. If he is a married man, he
has no children: consequently he wants
Mississippi peopled by foreigners. We.
Mississippians can people our own State !;
then We know what kind of people we have.
You cannot find lady in the State OF
Mississippi that is in favor of shipping
foreigners to this State; and it is not
Democratic. Yours truly,

i Washine tn letter IN the Vicksburg
Herald has some amusing comments on
the Congressional District bill. For
example, he says that it puts Lynch
intoa District where he does not reside.
The understanding is that Lynch re
sides" in Adams county. Adams is in
the 7th District, and if Adams is s'put"
in, we can't see how Lynch is put out.
The law recently passed by Congress
provides that the Districts shall be
composed of contiguous territory and
contain as nearly as pract;cablean equal
number of inhabitants, and the writer
in the Herald infers that the persons
elected under the legislative apportion-
ment may not get their seas because
these provisions were disregarded by
the Legislature. The language allows
a wide range of discretion to the Leg
islature. The same language has been
used in all the previous Congressional
apportionment acts; and the most
extravagant gerrymandering has been
practiced in framing Districts, but an
instance is yet to be recorded in which
a person elected has been refused his
seat for that reason. Whether right
or wrong, it is the custom in all the
States, and the objection raised by the
sensational writer in the Herald, would,
if impartially enforced, break up the
Congress We are not the champion Of
the new district business. Our readers
will remember that we advised that the
Districts be formed with strict regard
to geographical connection, common
sense and the public interests but if
these principles have been violated. it
is wholly improbable that Congress will
take note of the fact. The undertaking
to review all the elections upon such
grounds, would be an impossible scheme.
If there is any really aggrieyed party,
it is the people. The work was done by
their. servants, and presumptively at
least, for their benefit, and if they
can stand it, we have no doubt
Congress will.

A TARIFF for protection only, differs
from a prohibitory tariff almost as wide
ly as tariff for revenue only. The
last necessarily and inevitably affords
some protection. The first is laid os-
tensibly for the purpose of producing
revenue, but its real effect is to build
up favored interests. The other raises
no revenue but simply prevents people
from buying any foreign commodities.
On many articles the present tariff is
not merely protective, but prohibitory.
1t is unjust and ought to be repealed,
or essentially modified.

DIVINE to excessive rains planting is
backward in the hill counties. For ex.
ample the Natchez Democrat says:
In running up the line of the n, J. & c.
Railroad on Monday, we were surprised to
see that but very few of the farmers along
the route have begun to break ground for
their planting operations. South of Fay
cite there was nothing apparently being
done, and north of it very little.

IT was a great mistake in the House

statue Of limitations which. b. Judicial
decisions, operate as bar to the eolIec-
ton by the State Revenue Agent Of
the monies due the State and counties
by delinquent tax-eollectors during The

believe that If these claims had been
kept open large sums would have been
collected, which, under the law q i
