Ladies Benevolent Society, and was the
center of attraction. he made a brief
speech in response to a call. he spoke
in glowing terms of the future Of the

county Of Washington. He said the
outlook for the community was
brighter and more promising than other
section of the State; that our crops
were larger than the average; that our
lands were more fertile, and our people
the most hospitable. With railroad
facilities we would soon have our river
protected By leyees and our people nm
disturbed by political turmoils. We
would make such headway as to become

of the general prosperity of the State
and indications of rapid and continued
progress. He received an enthusiastic re-

earnestly, and express his choice for Off

to locate all ballot-box suffers in one

conduct will accomplish nothing to.
ward the desired end. Let every
man regard the present and the
future, and forget the past so far
as harboring of i'll goes, and strive
with one purpose in yiew-good order
and good government. Devotion to

that the party will work for these
things. Then let each one feel that
to certain extent he has in his keep

this spirit pervades all classes and par
ties at the polls next week, We will have
good officers and good county govern
ments for the next two years.
Because we have always believed that
the Democratic party has the ends Of
good government in view, we have al
ways been a democrat, and think that
the people will continue to entrust their
interests with this party. We would,
however, urge upon every member OF
the party to exert himself to the ut.
most to cOunteract the strenuous efforts
of the opposition. The present election
is more important in its effect upon the

a Wise and Just Judge.


The following statement, with thu
accompanying well deserved compli
ment to a worthy and enlightened Mis-
sissippian, appears in the Aberdeen Ex
aminer:
We are informed by Hon. n. A. Hill
Judge Of the Z. s. District Court, now
in session in our city, that the "Irou
Clad Oath" for jurors never was exacted
by him in Mississippi. This is the only
State in the South and probably in the
Union in which this oath was not de.
manded in the days when fanaticism
supplanted judgment, and prosecution
was but synonym for persecution
in all the Confederate States but ours.
Here by good fortune or Gods proyi.
dence the reins fell into the hands of
one who possessed heart as well as wis
dom and knowledge of the law, and
therefore statutes that were enacted as
plaques were administered with a wise
discretion that resulted in knitting the
races together in kindly feeling, and in
making a great revolution comparative
ly peaceful that would have caused every
streamlet to run red with blood in any
other country under the sun.
Judge Hill, when he looks about him
and witnesses the evidences of thrift
and progress that confront him OH every
side in Mississippi. could truly claim,
but for his characteristic medesty, the
lions share of credit for the happy con-
dition of affairs; for Mississippi was
selected as political golgotha by our
fanatical enemies in the DAYS of their
National supremacy, and they would
have sown it from border to border with
the seeds Of conflict and dissension but
for the impossible barrier this noble
Justice erected and maintained-a bar
rier they sought time and again to re
move by destroying the district; move
nent that was earnestly demanded by
wen some of the former officers of his
Courts, whom he restrained from gather
ng blood money; and which was only
,alked by the well understood fact in
that majority of the JUS
ices of the U. S. Supreme Court stood |
lrmly by Judge Hill, and would pro-
ect him against any legislation aimed |
or his overthrow and the decentralization |
nd persecution of his people.
We wish that Judge Hill could find
lme to write a history of that stormy |
eriod, from the standpoint of his Court.

The Ticket Law.

The Panoiian states that the farmer,
in Beat 4, Pamela county, passed resolu
tons condemning the ticket law. i
then suggests that law be passed re
quiring the circuit clerk to furnish
tickets with the names under each ofict
of all known candidates from which thC
voter may select. We suppose it intend:
to suggest that this be made the stan
dard ticket. 1t also calls for sugges
tions from Others.
THE CLARION has heretofore expressed
the opinion that tfIe law has not worked
satisfactorily, and We believe it is the
general wish that it be repealed. There
should be no restrictions upon the bal
lot. Let every voter express his choice
as he sees fit, whether his ticket be two
or three inches wide, written or printed,
or on white, red or blue paper. The
present law, prescribing the size Of the
ballot, and the quality of the paper, has
not accomplished the objects intended,
but it has resulted in the throwing out
of votes because the tickets were trife
too wide or too narrow, or because they
were marked by dash, period or com
ma, according to the several interpreta-
tions of election commissioners. The
IAw has been especially yexatious to
printers, who are not generally supplied
with nicely adjusted cutting machines
50 as to insure a width of mot more
than two and one-half, nor less than two
and one-fourth inches"

Lexington Bulletin, 9th
The audience that greeted Majo
Barksdalo here on Monday was not a
large as we had hoped, but as attentiy,
as any we ever beheld before any
speaker. Major B first reverted to The
/ time when he came to Holmes county
a boy seeking home and finding one
among our people, and to the fact thai
the most of the people he found herr
then have pissed away and younger ones
have taken their places. He spoke OF
the many kindnesses he had xperienced
at the hands of the Holmes county peo
pie, and to the inestimable blessing, the
crowning Joy of his life, that came to
him when he found help mate in the
person of Holmes county ladv. aud
when he paid this handsome tribute to
the sharer Of his joys and the lightener
of his tolls, the house resounded with
applause
The speaker then alluded to- and de,

examinations of the protective tariff;
how it created and fostered rnuropolies.
aud laid onerous burdens upon the peo-
pie who are consumers; and showed
that from time to time iinmemorial
the Southern Democracy had been OPP
posed to that sort of legislation. He.
secuted the idea, as had been charged
in some quarters, that the South, since
her manufacturing interests had begun
to develop, was beginning to lean towards
the protection theory, and said that all
the Southern people desired was a fair
chance to compete upon equal terms
with the world at large. The South
needs no protection ard asks none, and
as an earnest of her honesty of purpose
in that respect he cited the fact that
when the Southern people attempted to
set up a government of their own. they
adopted non-protection as one of their
fundamental principles.
He showed that the Internal Revenue |
system of taxation was war measure,
that had outlasted the war eighteen |
years, and should be abolistled--in fact /
should have been abandoned long ago. I
He also spoke at length upon railroad |
and showed not only the
egality but the expediency of super
rision, citing as examples the workings
# the system in the two prosperous
states of Illinois and Georgia. 81
He then came down to home politics,

close organization Of the Democratic

in the intercourse Of the world from
time iuuenUris attempts have been
made, aud With partial success, By CON
venfions q 1eientife and commercial
men to establish uniform standards Of
weights aud measures. The result Of
such conferences has produced the
metric system, now gradually making
its way among all commercial nations.
There has been sitting in Rome quite
recently very important body. Among
other matters discussed was the PROPOSE
ton to select as the common standard
or prime meridian some one of those
now used By the different nations, and
also to count longitude in only one di-
rection. The meridian Of Greenwich
has been adopted as the prime meridian,
and longitude viii be counted only from
West to East Of course it will take
time for the rev plan to push out the
old, but it viii finally obtain, and
though 10 some cases the numbers will
be larger, the plan viii be simpler.
The way to ascertain the longitude
of any place which now has a
west longitude will be to substraet that
from $50 degrees. Jackson, which in
the old style is in longitude 90o lO W,
is according to the new in longitude
269a 5V.
/ If now the scientists and business
men of all nations would undertake
to establish universal time, not only
would the difference of time with
its annoyances cease, but the rela.

great practical value. Thus, suppose
midday at Greenwich should be adopted
as "A or 0 o'clock for the whole world

in establishing ones longitude when
once the system got into vogue. Then
if we should stop IN front of Seutter's, OF

the dial to read o'clock and 40 seconds

wich, or if we could know certainly the
time it took in passage, the difference
between sun time and universal time
would give our true longitude. There
are other inconveniences and ambigui-
ties connected with our present method
which we have not now time to discuss.

Public interest in this act has beer
renewed by the recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
that it is unconstitutional, null and
void. In rendering this decision, the
court which is composed of Republicans
with the exception of Judge Field has
endorsed the position of the Democrats
when it was on its passage. It passed
by strictly party vote. In both Houses
of Congress the Democrats all voted
against it. In the House of Represen-
tatiyes, the following Republicans acted
with them: Butler, Harrison, and
Thornburgh, of Tennessee; Hyde and
Stannard, of Missouri; Lowndes, of
Maryland, Sener and Smith, of Virginia;
Phelps, of New Jersey, Ray of Illinois;

against it included the Republican Sem
