Southern Sentinel. I

We are prompted to ask has State a
right to rob its citizens by seeing an opinion
of the Attorney General, published in the
CLARION of last week, to the effect that
man who had obtained license to sell
liquors by the pint should forfeit his privi-
lege although the State has his money-the
price demanded-and this, although not
more than one day of the 800 for which he
paid has expired. We have said that we do
not believe the Legislature meant such a
thing, nor do we believe the courts will sus-
tain indictments under such circumstances.
A State has no more right to rob one of the
humbest of her citizens than an individual
has, and honest juries will never so decide.
If a pint dealer is indictable at all he is
indictabe for selling after midnight of the
2Sth day of February, becouse the repeating
Act was approved on that day; and yet not
a man outside of the city of Jackson knew
that such was the law until a day or two
and in many cases several weeks afterwards,
and yet the legal presumption is that every
man knows the law. A Legislature that
would require such impossibilities are either
the veriest knaves or pitiable lunatics. The
State has no more right to steal from a
whiskey dealer than dry goods merchant,
both of which are required to pay their
privilege tax before commencing business.

If the grabbed old bachelor who uttered
this sentiment could but witness the in
tense thought, deep study and thorough
investigation of women in determining the
best medicines to keep their families we'll,
and would note the sagacity and wisdom in
selecting Hop Bitters as the best, and de-
monstrating it by keeping their families in
perpetual health, at Il mere nominal ex-
peuse, he would be forced to acknowledge
that such sentiments are baseless and false.

The gist of an article in the Financial
Chronicle is, that the business Of the coun-
try continues large in volume, railroad earn
ings indicate increasing gross totals, crop
prospects are still highly favorable, and
money is plentiful but, on the other hand,
the profits of business are in general smaller
than they were year ago, living expenses
have increased by reason of our short crops,
so that labor is somewhat disorganized, and

The SWindling of Lewis Green Jr., Cot
ton Operator, in Columbus.
Columbus Index, 9th.

Columbus Index, 9th.
Last Saturday there was something of a
sensation in town. 1t had been learned that
Mr. Lewis Green, Jr., cotton broker on
Main street, had left suddenly and mystic
riously, and that his affairs were il very
bad condition generally. Inquiry develop
ed the fact that he was behind in his ac-
counts with the Louisville & Nashville, of
which company he was agent here and that
he had Jumped" the town and Town to
parts unknown to escape consequences.
1t seems, as near as we can get at it, that
Mr.. Green has been getting money in large
sums, from Eastern houses, for which he had
been purchasing cotton, on bill Of lading
signed by himself as agent of the L. & n.
The extent of his transactions and liabilities
is not known but it must have been consid-
cradle. His plan of operations showed
much shrewdness and business tact on his
part, as he was enabled to keep the Eastern
houses and the L. & n. for a long while COM
pletely in the dark. It is stated that heavy
losses through speculations in futures pre-
cipitated his collapse and made it necessary
to get out of the way in order to avoid the
consequences of failure to make his affairs
Straight.

propriated one hundred dollars to Monticello
sufferers and also, by rising unanimous
vote two hundred and fifty dollars to the
Natchez Protestant Orphan Asylum. We
hope, ere long, to see the four great benev-
client fraternities of the State, Masons, Odd
Fellows, Knights of Honor and Knights of
Pythias-agree upon systematic plan for
the certain support of this noble charity.
It is worthy of their generous care.

FAIL RIVER. Mas. May 9

A number of cotton mills here, and in
Boston, Lawrence and Taunton, have pur-
chased cotton through brokers from L.
Green, commission merchant of Columbus,
Miss, against which Green sold to the
banks in Columbus his drafts with bills OF
lading. Green was the agent for the White
Star Transportation Line at Columbus, and
finally sold to the banks such drafts upon
parties in New England, which were accept
ed and paid, but no cotton arrived. Green
has fed, having realized between $4,000
and 100000. Five or six mills here are
losers of amounts ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000 by the operations of Green. De
spatehes from Columbus indicate that Green
has probably left the country with $500, 900,
He has been selling cotton to New England
ers since 1876 and had good reputation.

The attention of the readers of THE CLARION
is called to the advertisement of the New
Orleans Cooperative Endowment Association
in another column. 4 glance at the directory
of this Association will satisfy the business
men of this State that this Company is
thoroughly reliable The President, Hon. r.
NJ Lusher is as well known in Mississippi as
in Louisiana. One of its Vice-Presidents DR..
7. S. Dabney, is an cid citizen of Kinds coun-
ty. The plan of this Association seems to
embrace all the good qualities of the Knights
of Honor and those of the regular life insur-
ance companies. The sinking fund feature of
this company is a guarantee of its reliability.

The Pint Law.
OPINION OF THE PRESS on IT'S RETROACTIVE
OPERATION.
Port Gibson Herald

Port Gibson Herald.
The act to amend the pint law IS, it seems
to US, more than it was intended it should
be. While the repeating act intended to
stop the sale of yinous and spirituous liquors
by the pint, il was not intended TO be al
ex post facto law-and hence it could not
have been intended to revoke the unexpired
licenses.
The courts hold that this law may be
repealed Notwithstanding the licenses in ex-
istence, because it confers only privilege
not a right. The courts should hold that
there is a contract wherever money is paid
for the privilege or right of pursuing GER
tain kind OF business for year, and that
any repeal or revocation of that contract,
by amendment or otherwise, is impairing
the obligations of a pre-existing contract,
and hence is ex post facto.
For cause, not for clamor, section HOG
authorizes supervisors or corporations to
revoke licenses, and that in a specified part
of the contract between the State and the
licenses, and is not liable to the same
objection.
The State having granted license takes
the money and then abrogates the licenses.
That is fraud, by the State.
The State revokes the unexpired license,
and goes back on the bargain, but keeps the
money This is obtaining money under
false pretense if not worse. The repeating
act is defective it seems to Us, and will not
stand the test Of the legal scrutiny, yet it is
better not to risk violation of it in selling
by the pint, but the act in section two clearly
gives by renewed enactment, the right to
sell by the gallon, or as much as five gallons,
under existing licenses.

in an article on the pint law takes the posi-
