conceit and impotence OF authority.
They are priggish, or sometimes simply
stolid and dull.
The father and mother are dismayed
and perplexed to account for this APP
parent causeless change in character and
sometimes attempt to compel the lad or
girl back into their old natures. It is as
hopeless task as to force the crab into
the shell which it bas outgrown.
Much, indeed, of their rebellion OF
stolidity arises from their consciousness
that they are no longer children, while
they have not yet the strength or fixed
habits or composure Of men. Their
treatment should be passive rather than
active.
Ii there be any signs OF physical
weakness, do not urge them for a year
or two to hard study; if the girl grows
morbid or moody, or the lad talks of
going to sea, loosen the check-rein a
little. Give them taste of adventure,
some glimpses of the world, some whole
some vagabondage, as much as your
means will allow. Above all, keep the
air, physical and moral, clean and sweet
in their homes, and with Gods help, if
they have inherited no fatal faint of vice
or disease, they will soon come through
the cloud healthy and strong in both
body and soul.

Ex-Gov. MARCY, of New York, once
said good thing in regard to the
possession of riches, which is worth
remembering. "To be rich," he re-
marked, "requires only a satisfactory
condition of mind. One man may be
rich with 800, while another. in the
possession of millions may think him
self poor, and if necessities of life are
enjoyed by each it is evident that the
man who is best satisfied with his posses.

WRITE PLAINLY

Edgar A. Poe owed the first recogni-
ton Of his genius as writer to the ex-
cellence of his penmanship. A prize
was offered by a magazine for the best
story sent its publishers. Poe sent q
story as competitor for the prize, and
such was the attractiveness of the man
uscript that the wearied judges read it
with pleasure.
Its contents also delighted them, and
they, leaving other manuscripts unread,
gave to Poe the prize. OF course, the
judges were unfair to the competitors
whose manuscripts they did not read,
but the anecdote suggests what may be
the effect of good penmanship in secur-
ing the attentive reading of an article.
An English magazine tells of certain
Duke whose illegible handwriting caused
him to lose the woman he had selected
for his wife. The lady was the daughter
of a merchant, and the Duke, in note
to her father, offered her his hand.
Much to his Grace's surprise, the mer-
chants answer was, "Declined with
thanks, on account of a previous engage
ment."
The mansof business had been unable
to read the note, but had guessed that it
conveyed an offer of the Dukes box at
the opera for certain night.
The Duke married another woman.
and the daughter joined herself to mar
much 10 wer in rank. In the course of
years they met, and then there was an
explanation. The anecdote does not tell
whether each regretted the illegible note,
but the moral is just as plain as if they
had.

The Race Issue.

Between the white and colored peo-
pie there is or should be no conflict of
interest. If the white people have
good government, the colored people
will enjoy good government. The laws
which apply to the one attach to the
other. When the white people are pro-
tected in the enjoyment of their life,
liberty and property, the cOlored people
are likewise protected. In this country,
the law recognizes no distinction as be-
tween trace, color or previous condition
of servitude." Between all classes
there is a community of interest which
should secure community ofaction. All
should act upon the sense of mutual
dependence, which all more or less feel.
As declared by Aristotle, man is a
Zto0n PoIitieon. Gone man cannot of
himself fulfill the object of his exist
ence; it requires besides manifold asso-
ciative cooperation. " Intelligence,
virtue, not color, is the true
touchstone by which to try candidates
for public favor and official position.
He who sets up any other standard is a
demagogue "whom it were gross fattery
to call coward" Tried by the above
test We confidently submit the claims of
the Democratic nominees for Congress,
to the candid consideration. of a dis
public.

We have been so occupied with other de-
partments of our business since the first Of

before December lst. A postal card to that
effect will be duly noted After the first Of

''good will" toward newspaper is to aid in
extending its circulation.

as the financial issue is concerned, Il

surely, as they have never had more
than corporaps guard in one House Of
Congress, and not one member in the

they were the authors of the evils Of

The Counting IN Menace.

1t is the bold, if not arrogant, decla-
ration of our enemies that however dis
astrous the election returns may be to
their side, the Republican candidate
will be s'counted in And with the
utterance they assume the air ofauthor-
ity. That certainly is we1l-direeted
stab at the very vitals of our national
being. If the expressed win of the
people at the ballot-box is to be wholly
disregarded, and the question of a seat
in Congress determined by partisan
committee of that body, our free insti-
buttons are a mockery and the whole
machinery of elections had best be
transferred to Washington. Upon this
partisan boast we offer a few practical
reflections.
1t is an assault upon the honesty and
integrity of the people. In the very
opening of the canvass, more than two
months before single ballot is cast,
they charge the citizens of the State
with fraud and crime. After acts are
committed we are accustomed to hear OF
presentments and indictments, but to
prophecy wrong and on that base case
is certainly triumph Of criminal juris-
prudence reserved only for latter-day
RadieaIism. But does the honorable
citizen feel comfortable under such an
imputation? Is it agreeable to be told
that, if not criminals and outlaws now,
we will be in a few months, and there.
fore deserve to wear the reproach and
shame? We hold that the boast is an
impeachment of every true citizens vir-
tue and manly honor. Such an asper-
sion our people deserve not, and will
Indignantly resent.
Again, it is an outrage on the right
and purity of the franchise. Why
have any farce Of election--why
delude the people with the idea that
they have any voice in the government
if the counting in" process at
Washington is to decide who are the
representatives. Of a sovereign State
The logic of the declaration is simply

ing, and are not worth the paper OF
which they are printed. The tally-sheets
will be made up at Washington, based OF
stories of outrage that never occurred
and Eliza Pinkston canards manufac
tured to order.
But our people are not to be deludeC
by any such graveyard whistling. Ii

in the second place a reaction is setting

i Conspiracy Against the Peace 81
Both Races.

&
Among the last acts of him who has
been justly called ssirst in war, first in
peace. and first in the hearts of his
countrymen,1 vas to solemnly warn US
against the baneful influence of party
spirit. He saw with anxious concern
the growing disposition to form parties
upon geographical distinctions, whence
designing men may endeayor to excite
a belief that there is a real difference
of local interests and views, and urged
that it would s'tend to render alien to
each other those who ought to be bound
together by fraternal affection" We
have seen his fears realized in four years
of fratricidal strife.
These reflections are excited by de-
clared purpose on the part of the lead
ers of the Republican party to force
the race issue in this district. If geo
graphical parties are to be avoided how
much more are parties based on race
distinctions to be deprecated. They
"render alien to each other" not differ
ent sections, not distant communities,
but citizens of the same section and
residents of the same community. They
engender heart-burnings and animosi-
ties between those who should be bound
to each other by the closest ties.
This bokon upas enkindles passions,
most easily awakened, which find their
fittest expression in the operations of
the knife, the deadly bullet and mid
night torch.
We have recently seen unfolded in a
neighboring State, on the part OF these
deluded colored people, an atrocious
plot of deep and dark design to fall
upon the whites and massacre them
while at their devotions, and supposed
to be unarmed. This is the legitimate
fruit of the seed that is being sown
even now in this district
What shall be said of the men
white men-men of seven principles
.fpe loaees and t,eo fshes" who put
on the livery of heaven to serve the
devil in-who are engaged in this
nefarious business? Language is in
adequate to describe their treachery.
They are renegades for price and hire
to man and God 1t is some consola-
ton to reflect that what they SOW that
also shall they reap.

Being Greenbacker and believing that

WEsTvILLE, Miss, Aug. q, 1882.
EDITORS CLARION: In recent issue of
the Mississippi Republican, statement
concerning the Democratic County Conven-
ton was made which renders it proper for
the undersigned to deny.
In the article referred to it was stated "that
instead of holding primary meetings to send
delegates to county convention a grand
mass meeting of the whole people was called
and assembled at Westville," insinuating
that this can be construed into an advan
tage taken by the friends of Maj. Barksdale
of Col. Hooker. That primary meetings
were not held is true, for the simple reason
that the method adopted in this instance has
always been the custom of the county as
far as relates to Congressional matters 1t
was further stated that the convention con-
sisted of only fourteen persons and that on
tie on a motion to instruct for Maj. Bark
dale the Barksdale men sent out runners
and captured youth of 10 or 20 years old
and turned the scale in favor of their man.
This we declare to be absolutely false, we
care not with whom it originated.
In response to a notice published in THE
CLARION, Brandon Republican and West
vile News, and also notices posted in sew
eral portions of the county one month pre-
vious, a number of persons assembled
and participated in the Convention,
every precinct in the county being
represented. Some refrained from voting
at all on the question to instruct; others
were opposed to instructions on general
principles however the motion to instruct
was adopted. There was youth present
but upon his own assertion took no part in
the proceedings. The name of this youth
can be had if the Republican insists upon it.
That paper credits Col. Hooker with the
assertion. We are sure that he did not
make it upon his own knowledge, and We
believe that some evil-minded person i'm
posed upon that e7timable gentleman and
caused him to repeat it, on hearsay, when
there was no foundation for it in fact.

An Ugly Who is It ?

The Congressional Republican Assess
ment Committee is in the habit of levy
ing contributions on the government
employees to raise a fund for "carry-
ing" elections. Here is the way part
of the money is reported by the Wash
ington correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat (Repub.) to have gone.
The universal verdict win be: Served
him right"
In this connection scandal is alleged,
which involves a prominent Southern Rep
resentative who is DESTROYS of emulating
Malone, of Virginia, as an Independent
commander. The story is that he secured
$4,000 from Mr.. HubbelPs Committee osten-
sibly for use in his Congressional district,
but diverted the money to his private use
He made good showing of the satisfactory
results that would accrue by a judicious
expenditure of the money in his district,
and after he had obtained it he utilized it
in paying off debts contracted here during
the last session of Congress.
