Revenue Reform.

The New York Sun is very able pa
per, and is often right. 1t is not quite
so, however, in its proposition to abolish
"the internal revenue system and hate
full relic of the war, which ought to b
,oiped out entirely before any attempt i,
made to deal aeith tdrdti0n by the Tariff"
We have italicised the Objectionable
part. Why not move along the whole
line of reform? Adopt the Presidents
recommendation to repeal the entire
revenue tax except as to distilled spirits
and remodle the tariff on a revenue
basis. Our able New York contempora.
ry knows that the primary object of the
latter, is not to produce revenue, but tc
secure bounties to monopolists. Make il
tariff for revenue. Wipe out as far
as practicable "the hateful relic of the
war" and abolish altogether the present
cumbrous internal revenue machinery
which costs the people five millions Of
dollars annually.

The speakership- The Electoral Com
mission.

The New York World is not on our
exchange list, but we find reproduced
from its columns in the Vicksburg Her
aid, the strongest point yet made against
Mr.. Randalrs election to the Speaker,
ship. 1t charges that he supported the
Electoral Commission and that his rul-
ings as Speaker were favorable to the
perpetuation of the fraud by which the
country was cheated out of its choice
for President in 1876. But we will let
the arraignment speak for itself:
Above all, we oppose Mr. Randal's
election as Speaker because when he
held that position in 1876 he had the
power to prevent the iniquity of the
counting in of Hayes and refused to ex'
ercise it.
After all the rascalities of the Return.
ing Boards had become known; after the
frauds and perjuries of the Electoral
Commission had been contaminated; after
the road had been made clear for re
versal of the popular verdict in the
Presidential electiOn-even then the de
feated Republican candidate, Ruther
ford B. Hayes, could not have been &C
corded the office stolen from Mr.. Tilden
if Speaker Randall had not aided the
Republican minority of the House, Oh
the evening of March and the early
morning of March 2, 1876, in forcing a
vote on the objections sent down from
the Joint convention, thus bringing the
convention again together to complete
the fraudulent count. y =
But for Samuel J.'Randaips aid the re
cords OF the United States would neve
have been stained by the lying declara
tion that Rutherford B. Hayes, Of Ohio
having received majority of the who'll
number of electoral votes,is duly elected
President of the United States for fou
years commencing on the fourth day 0
March, 1877"

Tuscany Wheat.

We have on exhibition specimen
bundle of wheat grown by Mr.. S. II.
Stackhouse, from seed furnished Mai. f.
G. Wall, Commissioner of Agriculture),
by the King of Italy and given to Mr..

the fruitage of the sample, the Weld
per acre Will not fall short of thirty-five
bushels.
The wheat is rust proof and admirably
adapted to our climate, and Mr.. S. is of
the opinion that it viii become in the
course Of a few years, a general crop.
We invite farmers to call and examine
it-Crystal Springs Meteor.
If Maj. Wall has succeeded in intro.
ducing rust proof wheat into Mississippi
which we have the best reason for be.
ieying to be true-he has succeeded in
accomplishing great thing for her
agricultural industry. Her soil pro
duces wheat abundantly. The trouble
is, that the ordinary western product is
liable to rust. 1t is said the Italian
wheat, which he has introduced for trial
produces as well, and is rust proof Elk.
periments are being made, and SO fai
they promise well. If anticipations are
realized, there is no reason why Missis

and become large wheat exporting

Civil Service Reform SO Called

It's said that about fifteen thousand of
the 100, 000and more, Office holders under
the United States government, are sub
ject to the competitive examinations pre-
scribed in the so-caled Civil-Serviee
Reform legislation of the last Congress.
They apply to the lower grade of Offices
in the Departments at Washington and
to Port Offices, and to Custom-houses
having fifty officials employed An I'M
just provision of the law is that persons
already holding positions are exempt
from examination. That's what we
would call civil service reform with a
vengeance. The examinations will be
in the following branches, and when
perfect, will be scored as follows:
l. orthography penmanship, and copy
ing, 100
. Arithmetic, fundamental rules, frac.
TONS and percentage, 100.
3. Interest, discount aud elements of
book keeping and of accounts, 100.
4. Elements Oh EnSllsn language, letter
writing and the proper construction of sen.
fences, 80.
5, Elements of the history, geography
and government of the United States, 90.

applicant to appear for examination or to be
examined must state under the oath the
facts on the following subjects /. Full
name, residence and post office address. 2
Citizenship. 8. Age. 4. Place of birth. 5

LET us hasten to dispe the fears Of
the Vicksburg Herald, The Democratic
party, in adopting as its organic law the
doctrine of supervising corporations,
never intended to include manufacturing
companies; and therefore, we pledge
that the Wesson Mills and all other
manufactures are secure from State con-
troll. There are twenty-four States that
have adopted laws regulating corpora
tions, None of them include manufac-
tories, for the plain reason that they are
not invested with the States right of
eminent domain which carries with it the
right of State supervision. When they
ask to "bc invested with the right of
eminent domain-the right to seize pri-
vate property for their own use--and their
application is granted--it win be time
enough to talk about making them sub.
iects of legislative control. Manufac.
tories are private property, and no more
intended for public use than your neigh
boris plantation, nor his OK, nor his ass
nor anything that he has. On thi,
proposition, THE CLARION says to the
Herald, shake! We are also agreed in
favor of the passage of federal super
vision law. In taking this position the
Herald comedies the right Of Legislative
control.

DISCUSSING the Supervision question

VIZ -ApSANNNIl lJAdDlllltI SdNS.
As to the resolutions of the Conven-
ton OF 1877, we only attach the impor-
lance to them that we give to those of
l'96; SIX years is long time in this
progressive age, and we prefer in all our
sailing nowadays to keep steady in the

The Levee Convention.

We have never witnessed a more de-
Lucrative assembly within the capital,
than the Leyee Convention which met
on the 2ith. The delegates were a rep
resentatiye body, and they spoke and
acted under the inspiration of the mo-
mentous crisis with which they were
dealing. Contrary to expectation. the
delegates from the front and back coun-
ties, after patient consultation and earn
est inquiry, agreed upon, and formula
ted a plan which practical and expe-
rienced men are confident, if carried
out, will afford the section of the State
interested, the protection from the desc
lating floods Of the next high water sea-
son. Having thus agreed, the Convcn-
ton petitioned the Governor to assem-
BILE the Legislature for the purpose of
legahzng the plan agreed upon. That
grave question is in his hands. and there
we will leave It without argument OF
comment, to be decided according Ia
his conscientious convictions Of duty.
Judging from the character Of the men
who compose the Legislature, now that
aplan has been formulated, involving no
tax orburdcn whatever, except upon the
river counties directly interested, we sup
pose the subject could be disposed of in
the time consumed by the Convention
Other questions, if introduced, woulC
be frowned out of the body. They
