Educational,

Spring Hill College, near Mobile-under
the direction of the Jesuit Fathers-will
commence its fifty-third annual session on
the I'd October
The announcement for the next session oil
Jefferson College is added to the many
other excellent schools advertised in THE
CLARION. It is the Oldest chartered liter
airy institution in the State, and one of the
Oldest in the South. 1t was incorporated
by the Territorial Legislature in 1902, and
has an interesting and honorable history.
1t is now high school for boys and young
men, with three very competent instructors,
who are spending their vacation in letting
its advantages be known among the people.
The College is delightfully."- located near, and
in telephone connection with Natchez, and
the expenses for session are exceedingly
moderate. The institution, under its liber-
al and Jealous board of trustees, and its
capable corps of instructors, is rapidly re-
gaining to its old prestige. When our
schools prosper, it is good sign that "there
is life in the old land yet"

July 81, 1882.

July 81, 1882.
EDITORS CLARION |, among others Of
the Grenback political faith, are at loss to
account for the report that Capt. A. T.
Wimberly, and the editor of the Water
Valley Index, Mr.. Bruten, attended com.
mittee meeting of the Greenback State Ex-
ecutive Committee of the State, short time
since, and that the Capt. A. L. Wimberly,
was at that meeting, selected Chairman Of
the Greenbaek State Executive Committee.
repeat there are several "prominent"
Greenbackers of unquestioned integrity to
the Greenback cause, as well as myself, who
ask for information.
'sWho called meeting of the Greenback
State Executive Committee, and by whose
authority was said call made How many
responded to the call both by proxy and in
person, and how was such call made?
Was Mr.. Bruten a member of said COM
mittee, and in what capacity, if any, did he
act?
Was "Capt A. I. Wimberly' member
of said called committee if nay, in what
capacity, if any, did he act
For the sake of fairness, and to prevent a
suspicion that a "star chamber" meeting
was held, with only kindred spirits invited,
it is to be hoped that "Capt A. I. Wimber-
ly" or some one else who has the true Gin
wardness' at their fingers end, will "rise to
explain" with the information asked for.
Greenbackers are, as rule, opposed to
the ways that are dark and mysterious.
Indeed, we have played the "cut and dried"
card, with considerable effect against the
Democratic party, in the past. We have
dinned into the ears Of the people, that "a
few" of the Democrotic party manipulated
all the important party positions in disre-
gard of the will, wish or voice of the
masses. We're the masses of the Green
hackers represented in this late State Exec
utiYe Committee meeting2

Madison County Convention.

The Democratic voters of Madison county
assembled at the Courthouse on Tuesday last
lst inst, pursuant TO call. Maj. BarksdalC
and Col. Hooker, opposing candidates, were
present, and made able and eloquent addresses
which were loudly applauded. After the
speaking the County Convention assembled
Hon. w G. Kearney was made Chairman aud
DR.. Hugh L. Switzerland, Secretary. The
Chairman then appointed the following dele
gates to the Convention to be held in Halle
hurst on the 10th inst:

The following resolutions were then
adopted
lst. That we fully and codially endorse the
official acts of our distinguished representa-.
tive in Congress, Hon. C. E. Hooker and that
we consider him a man of ability, integrity
and honor.
End That while we award to him that honor
to which his official acts entitle him, still we
feel that the time has arrived for all true Demo-
Gratis to discard individual opinions and act
for the good of our entire State.
3rd. That in our opinion the Hon. Ethel
Barksdale of Kinds county, is the best man
for the occasion. A man without superior
within the bounds of our State in all that goes
to make up the gentleman and the statesman.
4th. That we instruct our delegates to the
Congressional Convention to assemble at
Hazlehurst on the 10th inst, to vote for the

The Pamela Star on the Nomination
of Hon. Van. II. Manning.

Pamela Star: Again we proudly fling to
the breeze the old Democratic banner, in
scribed with the honored name of Van H.
Manning the choice of the Democracy for
Congress. From now till the day of cleo
ton, the. Star proposes to do all in its power
to contribute to his success, or rather to
that of Democracy, of which he is the duly
accredited Representative. 1t is well
known that We opposed the nomination of
Col. Manning yet we did so for good and
sufficient reasons, as we then believed and
yet believe; but being sky-blue Democrat,
we readily yielded our preference when it
became evident that the Democratic masses
had centered upon Manning as the most
available man to meet and defeat Chalmers,
who it must be confessed, is "a foreman
worthy of his STEEL"

Special to n. o. Pieay une.l
GRENADA, Miss, Aug. 4.-Six milei
north of Grenada, on the Kirkman planta
ton, there was added last night chapter
to the criminal history of Mississippi that
will never be forgotten. The plantation is
decidly the largest and one Of the finest in
North Mississippi, and it is only few short
years since its owner, Capt. Thos Kirkman
was envied his positions and talents by all.
He was finely educated, brave and cultiva-
ted, with an extensive connection among
the best families in the South. No one
to such promising life as has just over
taken him.
Year by year the property became in
yolved, until, within the past few years he
has only been manager on the place where
once he was king. 1t is supposed from
brooding over his troubles he became reck-
less and desperate, until last night, when he
went to the quarters of a colored woman,
and killed her four children.
The mother was an ill-favored, full Sene-
gambian, as was the oldest child, girl of 8
years. The other three children were bright
looking mulattos
The deed was evidently done while the
victims slept, as all were killed by single
blow each from an ak, crushing their brains
out, except little girl of years, who
seems to have made an effort to rise after
being struck the first time, necessitating a
second blow.
Kirkman, after the murder took an
eighth of an ounce of morphine, coolly I'M
dressed and went to bed in the same room
with the woman and babe, and died.

YELLOW FEVER RUMoRs.

RAPID QUARANTINE.

RAPID QUARANTINE.
Galveston special: The Board of Health
has quarantined against the schooner Hen
rietta, which arrived outside the city yes
terday, from Brazos Santiago, bound for
Lake Charles, La, having on board two
cases of fever of doubtful nature. She
will be allowed to proceed to her destina-
ton. Strict quarantine has been declared
against Matamoras, Brownsville, Brazos
and all points communicating with them.
A San Antonio special says: The fever at
Matamoras is reported abating. The Rio
Grande region still maintains strict quaran-
tine.
AUSTIN, Textile Mayor of Rio Grande
City yesterday telegraphed that the yellow
fever had broken out on the Mexican side
of the of the river, and panic existed, Rio
Grande City being overrun with refugees.
He wanted quarantine, and the Governor
instructed him to use discretion until the
health officers of the State arrived.
Private reports from Brownsville state that
yellow fever has broken out there. DR..
Swearinger, State health officer, is satisfied
of the fact, and, fearing an epidemic, has
started to investigate the disease.

An Important Section Of the Ku-Klux
Law Declared Unconstitutional


Section 5,519 of the Revised Statutes
of the United States declares that ''if
two or more persons in any State or
Territory conspire or go in disguise on
the highway or the premises of another
for the purpose of depriving, either
directly or indirectly, any person
or class of persons of the equal
protection of the laws, or of equal
privileges and immunities under the
laws, or for the purpose of prevent
ing or hindering the constituted au-
thorities of any State or Territory
from giving or securing to all persons
within such State or Territory the equal
protection of the laws" each of the
offenders shall be punished by fine or
imprisonment or by both.
In an opinion just delivered in Texas,
Justice Woods, of the United States
Supreme Court, declares that Congress
has no power to enact the statute. The
case was that of a prisoner who had
been found guilty in the United States
District Court and sentenced to prison
for having gone with two other white
men In disguise upon the premises OF
a negro and assaulted him for the pur-
pose of preventing his appearance as a
witness in a criminal case. Justice
Woods set aside the sentence on the
ground that the act of Congress under
which the prisoner was tried is invalid.
The Court holds that the statute can
not be sustained under the Fourteenth
amendment. The Justice comedies that
the Thirteenth amendment gives to Con
gress the power to secure the personal
freedom of the enfranchised blacks and
that Congress may protect coiored citi-
liens in the right to testify on the same
condition as whites. But he decides
that the act in question goes beyond
this grant of power, for the reason
that its provisions are not restricted
to colored citizens, but mete out the
same punishment to whites for wrongs
done to whites, which, as the Supreme
Court decided in the case of federal
election law, is fatal objection.

Hon G. c. Chandler, Corinth, Miss:
DEAR SIR-In refence to the political feature
of your letter | must say, that am greatly
surprised when you inform me that ''the OPP
position to Col. Muldrow are anxious to have
an Independent candidate for Congress; and
this opposition is a handsome majority Of the
district, and will vote for me with great
deal of pleasure If l would like 10 go to Con-
gress."
You have made mistake. I am not the
man to be used in that way. / do not know
what | have done to induce the belief that |
could be made tool of to break down my own
party, to put the Radical party in power in
this district. Col. Muldrow and myself, so
far as know entertain the same views upon
all the leading questions now being agitated
before the country : and to turn him out and
put me in cannot be the only object you have
in view. Your policy must be to defeat the
very principles that have maintained all my
life
No. you cannot use me in that way. If |
were positively sure of being elected 10 Con
gress, | would not be an independent candi-
dale against the candidate of my own party.
am not so ambitious fer Office as to desire it
simply for the spoils.
You have known me Tor about thirty years,
and if during that time | have done anything
inconsistent with the principles and policy OF
the Democratic party, and you VIII point IL
out, | will try TO reform.
y GU do bOih yourself and me injustice
yourself, by not being better judge of men,
and me, by trying TO deeoy me Into party
that has no principles for its guide except the
spOils OF office.
But you say "Col Muldrow has committed
himself to the Prohibitionists and that settles
Inge, who says he is now entirely out of the
race" You made another mistake By think
ing to array me against a Democrat because
of his position upon the Prohibition question.
do not know, nor do | care, what Col. Null
drow's views are upon that question. | do not
propose to wiring it into politics. Which side
of the question do you take2 l presume the
side opposite to the one the Democratic party
takes, if it should be SO imprudent as TO make
it political question.
As you have been kind enough to assure me
| can be elected to Congress by the opposition,
will you allow me to ask you to return to the
Democratic party from which you have stray
ed2 i
Yours very truly,
