Arthur's Mild Suggestion.

Though We have taken occasion to
commend President Arthur's message,
besides differing with him as to several
recommendations, We think it IS very
much to be regretted that he asked for
legislation in the special interest of the
negro. If the negroe were really OPP
pressed as a race. it would be praise
worthy for the executive to speak out
in his defense. But such is not the case.
1t is true that persons doing certain
kinds of business do discriminate against
him as to certain places and special priv
ileges, but never or rarely to his discom-
fort. With US here, though we wish the
negro well, it is thought that he has all
the liberty which will conduee to his
and well-being. The pas
sage of any laws, if any can be passed
constitutionally by the general govern
ment, will bring about irritation and
clashing between the races. For in
stance, suppose law were enacted
which would force children of both
races 10 attend the same schools.
Whatever Northern theorists may, say,
we of the South, whether black or white,
know well that this would be productive.
of much evil and would greatly demon
alize, if not completely destroy the
public school system. Let the general
government regulate our relations to
each other as Statesand leave to the States
that function which they have neversur-
rendered, to adjust and control US in our
individual capacity. The Republicans
rode into power on the negro question,
and they cannot relinquish their favor
tie theme now. 1t il not that they care
so much for the black race, as that they
may appeal to his prejudiccs and win
his vote. With the cry of freedom for.
the negro, this party has disregarded,
and destroyed for time, some of the
dearest rights Of the whites.
Why cannot Arthur and the rest leave
the social question as it affects the negro
to right itself, as it surely will if per-
mitted to do so! The South wishes to
treat the negro fairly, and win do SO
md ell this agitation is not only futile,
,r worse, but it is an imputation upon
Dur section, which is unjust.

The moment O southern man il elected |
he err Of Southern domination b raised,
as If no man from this section was nseed
for a national position. The election e
Carlisle TO the Speakership does not
mean that the South proposes to run the
government, but that many Northern
men have 50 far thrown aside prejudice
as TO vote for worthy Southerner in
spite of the section from which he halls.
The Southern people and their represen-
tatiyes have all along shown their
absence of prejudice and sectionalism
BY voting for many years for Northern
men to the exclusion Of men nearer
home whose commendsble local pride
with the knowledge of their equal capa-
city would suggest for them to be put
forward. So that the South has not
only not been given 10 buldozing spirit
in national matters, but she has actually
recognized the bitter sectionalism in the
North and for the sake Of the general
veal has deferred to it. And now, when
her representatives have felt that self
respect demands that man suffer no
prejudice to his claims because he Is
| from the South, and when a sufficient
number Of generous Northern andWest-
ern men who felt ashamed to be out

done by SOutherners in this Particu-
lar and determined to ignore the
question Of locality, united upon Carlisle
TO secure his election, the intimation OF
sectional domineering Is indeed con-
Itemptible. The election Of the Ken
tuckian then proclaims the first triumph
over sectionalism, and for that reason
alone Is cause for congratniation. But
! it means more than that. It is the tri
umph of natural right over the en-,
croachment of monoplies, and marks thu
Democratic party as the great champion
of low tariff and the opposer of al
jobs, and the granting of gifts and fran,
chises to men already rich to the injur.
of the poor man and the public who's
property it Is that is thus lavishls
squandered. e
With proper admixture Of prudence,
and the energetic assertion of the rights
of the people on the part of the major
, ity in the lower House, a Democratic
victory is one of the grand possibilities
Of next year.

Chief Justice Campbell.

EDITORS CLARION: This distinguished
jurist seems to be earnestly, heartily
and almost universally endorsed for re
appointment to the Supreme Bench.
The members of the bar of Jackson
Raymond, Vicksburg, Natchez, Column
bus, Oxford, Canton, Kosciusko, Gre
NADIA, Lexington, Brookhaven, Halle
hurst, and nearly every county town in
the State, cordially endorse and recon-
mend him, and it appears that they but
voice the sentiment Of the lawyers and
people of the State.
The venerable and honored Alexan-
der NJ. Clayton, in letter to the Gov.
ernor, says:
81 beg to write an unsolicited letter
IN behalf of the re-appointment of Judge
Campbell. His eminent qualifications
for the position, his experience in the
discharge of its duties, and his great
legal learning, giving him peculiar TT
ness for the place. His retirement
would be loss to the State not easily
repaired. / may add that this is written
not from any private or personal view,
but entirely in what believe is the in.
terest of the people Of the State"
One of the most distinguished mem.
bers Of the bar in Mississippi, Gen. B.
G. Walthall, writes the Governor as fol-
lows:
'.In my judgment Mississippi never
had a better judge, of any grade. than
Judge Campbell, and no State in the
Union has better one to-day. In view
If his usefulness on the bench, his ac-
Znowledged ability, and his exalted pri-
rate character. / think it is due the peo-
de of the State that be be reap

demand for his retention. It |

In reference to the finances, be says
that the surplus revenue for the year
ending June last was S133, oee, ea9i ana
that the estimated surplus one year
from that date will be 5000, 900, Of
which he deducts 81, 600, 900 for the
sinking fund, leaving aboat oo0o, 600
as the net surplus revenue for the year
ending June, 1884 Instead OF recon-
mending reduction Of taxes to get rid
of this surplus, he recommends larger
appropriations for the navy aud Tor
barbor defense, which is simply an
expedient for keeping up the pro-
tective tariff system, against which
the country has emPhatiealiy pro
nounced.
In the interest of the national banks,
he asks the repeal of the tax on their
circulation, and recommends an i'm
practicable plan for Perpetuating them.
he advises the purchase of the trade
dollar, Gas the silver dollar which was
coined years ago for the China trade, is
called), and its coinage at the Q. s.
MINIS into standard silver dollara. A
good suggestion.
He moves cautiously in the direction
of a government postal telegraph, q
question which we trust Congress will
take hold Of in earnest.

the act organizing the territory OF Utah
and its remission wholly to the govern
ment Of the United States, seems to III
to be timely and just. 1t looks to thu
eradication of the abomination of Nor

We were obliged to resort to estimates
for the reason that their reports have
not vet been received by the Auditor.
"The valuations given are those at
which property is listed for taxation,

are ridiculously low, particularly in the
matter of personally which iii this
State includes money, bonds, solvent
credits and all movable property and
live stock-in fact, in most counties the
whole amount of personality reported
viii not cover the actual value of the
animals employed at the plows, and in
several instances the whole amount listed
for the county is not in excess OF the
possessions of three or four of its citi-
zens. Then again, this assessment takes
no note of the hundreds of miles of
railroads built in the State since 1879, or
of our many fourishing cotton mills,
oil mills, congresses, etc, for they are
all by the terms of their charters
exempt from taxation for a number of
years. Nor does it include any of the
crops we have harvested, for they are
exempted to the producers; the cot
ton gins, and cotton presses, and sor-
ghum mills and threshing machines,
and mowers are all excluded and ex-
empt as we'll as all other farm imple-
ments and mechanics tools; and so are
ten head of hogs to farmer, and ten
head of sheep, and two cows and their
calves, and all household furniture to
amount of $3.50, and all poultry and
wearing apparel; also churches, oeme-
teries, school houses, colleges, lodge
