shoulder and knit his brow, as was his
custom when in a puzzle. At last turn

''Do you oil it here, Amys''
"Why, no; I never thought Of that"
A drop Of oil was supplied, and in an

A Dead Beat

About two months since, an individ-
ual who travels under the name of Geo.
w. French swindled the Commandery
Of Knights Templar at Montgomery,
Ala. His latest raid was upon Holly
Springs Commandery, the Recorder of
which reports, "he got US for $500. "
We have very little sympathy with be
nevolent orders who thus dispense their
charities to tramps, however we'll dressed
or plausible their stories. French
claimed to be member of Columbis
Comandandery, at Washington, which
was false, as a telegrahic inquiry woulC
have established. He is described a.

A Card from Col J. D. Stewart.

EDTroRs CLARION: A special in the
issue Of the Vicksburg Post Of S0th from
this city, contains the following:
In the North Ward the anti-Fusion-
lists are now Organizing themselves into
8 party TO support Col. jas. D. Stewart.
for State Senator TO beat Col. Jones :.
Hamilton. All the secret caucuses are
directed TO this end" and that "1he
special friends Of Senator George are
following IN this snti-Fusion Leadership
in the wake Of Stewart who represents
Senator Georges interest"
Permit me to say that there is no truth
in the statement contained in the above
Telegram. Neither the United States no
the State Senatorship have been men
toned in any anti-Fusion caucus, no
have these matters been discussed il
anti-Fusion eaueuses nor in any way in
huenced anti-Fusionists in the canvas.

DssOto County.

Ex-Judge Samuel Powell is a candidate
for the State Senate in the DeSota coun-
ty District. In his card to the voters he
says:
If elected will use my best endeav-
ors to continue to carry out the reforms
that are inaugurated in 1875, and to in
sure to the people of our State a good,
honest and pure State Government, with
its benefits and burdens falling as near
as can be equally upon all.
Judge Powelrs opponent is Hon.
Jobe Harrall from whose address we have
already published an extract. In recent
publication Mr.. Harrall explains his
votes on the bill making appropriations
for the A. and NJ. College. On the ques-
ton of an elective judiciary he says:
Some say they are not qualified to
elect Judges, but it is strange if that be
so, that they are qualified TO elect the
man who appoints them. Nonsense;
they are qualified to elect from President
down to Constable. If the people are let
alone they never make mistakes. am
one of these, and viii trust them in all
things Its strange to me how the peo-
pie can trust any man who is afraid to
trust them

Law be passed prohibiting the reception
of these railroad compliments, and at

South Carolina Changers.

E The joint summer meeting of the State
Grange and Agricultural Society was
in session at Marion, S. c., last week.
There was an animated discussion of the
subject: "How is the Supply of Labor
to be Maintained?p Various views were
expressed, some of the most prominent
men in the State joining in the discus
sion. United States Senator u. c. But
Ter took the ground that the labor of the
State was becoming more unsettled
every year, and that at no time since the
war had negro labor been more unrelia-
bic and worthless than now. Hewanted

Iaborers, and said that 200, 900 negro

wanted them to go to Kansas, Indiana
or anywhere else, and thought that moth

this State as the superabundance of
cheap negro labor. His views were

EDITORS CLARIoN-In 1872 or 70,
drew up and forwarded to our Repre-
sentative in the Legislature, who pre-
sented it, bill to regulate Railroad
charges. 1t was referred to a committee,
which smothered it. The bill provided
that when a railroad fixed the rates for
freight from any point in the State to
its terminus, it should not charge higher
rates for shorter distances; that the do
ing so should be deemed fraudulent;
and that party agrieved might recover
the excess in any action for money had
and received to his use. My idea was
that competition would secure reason
able rates at competitive points; and
that the right to fix rates at such points
remaining in the roads, the stipulation
in their charter would be fulfilled, and
the Contract supposed to be CON
tanned in such stipulation, would not be
impaired by the Legislature. Would
not law embracing the features of this
| bill meet the needs of the people? ]
am in favor Of both State and Federal
legislation on this subject; bat believe
that no efectual remedy feg the great
evils will be found till we Secure pure

A Farmer Question.

PINE RIDGE, Copiah Co, July %, 'S3.
EDITORS CLARIoN-I have been a
reader of the CLARION for a number of
years, and have watched with inter
est, the discussion on the different sub
jects that the farmer is deeply interested
in. But this is matter that do not
remember to have seen discussed, and
that is, law to better regulate our la
Dor. That you may understand me, let
me illustrate. A. and B. are neighbors.
A. is an INSCRIPTIONS man, land our
country is full of A's). B. is a consci-
entious man. A. and B. make their ar
rangements in the first of the year for a
crop. They get their hands, team, tools,
etc, and start their crops. A. from some
cause, gets behind with his crop, and
will lose part of it if he does not get
help. He takes bottle of whisky and
plug Of tobacco and goes over to BIS
field, and when he sees the way is clear
he calls out his man and in ten minutes
he will have Bob's mind poisoned against
B., and in one week, or less time, Bob will
be moved over to A. B. loses Bob's crop,
and has his team and tools dead capital
on hand. Now, l think that is wrong,
and B. ought to have some protection
by law. / think if you will bring the
matter before the people through the
CLARION, that there will be such a
pressure brought TO bear upon the next
Legislature that they will enact a law
to protect B. / have been running a
farm over forty years, and / have tried
to do it legitimately, and l can't make
up my mind it this late hour in life to
compete with A.

HoN. MONTGOMERY BLAIR, the last
ef q family who had made themselves
famous by their extraordinary talents
and courage, died last week at his home
8 Mnfalastd, aged serenity yoars. He
was The eldest son of the great thunderer
Of the Globe newspaper, Francis P
Blair, the organ of the Democratic par
ty during the administration of Gen.
Jackson, and right arm in his contest
with the National Bank, which, for a
time controlled Congress and defied the
Executive. With Benton in the Senate,
and the Globe speaking directly to the
people, Jackson triumphed. The Bank
finally succumbed, and with its fall, the
country learned the lesson that corpora
tions must be kept in their places if
their liberties are to be preserved.
