Jefferson Davis.
OLIVER CLIFTON

Mr.. Davis has been severely criticised
for having said in his remarks before
the Legislature that he had not repented
of his past conduct, and that under like
circumstances he would do as he had
done. What Mr.. Davis said ought not
to have offended any one, and ordinarily
would not; but there are two classes Of
persons who cannot bear to hear him
talk on any subject. The one is con-
posed of South-haters, who regret always
that the President and other leading
spirits of the Confederate Government
were not hung by drum-head court
martial as soon as caught, and the other
is formed of those otherwise respectable
gentlemen who stand trembling and
qnaking lest when Mr.. Davis speaks he
shall say something which viii excite
the wrath of Northern fanatics, and in
iure the prospects of the Democratic
PARTY. We contend that no gentleman,
whether he be Democrat OF Republican, or
whether he live north or south of Mason
and Dixon's line, has just ground of COM
plant that Mr.. Davis gave publicity to
the sentiments which he honestly enter
tanned. He would be prisoner indeed
if in this land of liberty he were not
permitted to say that he did not repent
the most important step of his life, how
ever disastrous to him and those who
sustained him it may have proven.
Those who object most to what Mr..
Davis said are persons who prefer that
he should not talk at all-would like to
have him where he couldn't talk. It is
not so much what be talks about, as that
he talks.
We think that an admiration for Mr..
Davis is entirely consistent with loyalty
to the National Government, and she'll
insist always that his freedom of speech
shall not be eircumscrfbed or limited by
those Who stand waiting with bated
breath to hear what the North" has to
say about it.
These suggestions are called forth by
an article in the Post Dispatch, wherein
Mr.. Davis is criticised as sharply as if
he had while here, addressed the Legis-
lature in favor of some proposition look
ing to renewal Of hostiIities with the
United States; and more than this, the
language used is coarse.

State Female College Strong Pies
for Brandon.

EDITORS CLARION: The women of Mis-
sissippi are grateful 10 our Legislature for
their app opria;ion, with which TO build a
coll pc for girls. There are many points
to be considered and matured in order to
secure an institution which shall be our
pride.
The Bible tells of a man who built his
house upon the sand, and when the winds
and the rains came it fell. Let this house
be built upon rock. and in such manner
that it falls not, morally or physically.
A good architect should be secured. A
faultless faculty, both in manners and cul-
ture. A tender and refined matron. and
wholesome discipline. We are glad the
nelytechnic feature is to be engrafted.
Last. though not least, the location is OF
paramount consideration. The place Of
its location should be free from epidemics,
or rather not subject to them or to malarial
diseases. 1t should not be commercial
centre, vet place of refined society. There
are several places eligible in many respects
and still with objections. The beautiful
Town OF Columbus, with its refined society,
has been mentio ned, but she is on the very
confines of the State, and so near to our
Agricultural and Mechanical College at
SfarkYiIIe. only twenty miles distant. The
rival towns of Meridian and Jackson are
IN some respects desirable, bat both arc
commercial centres, and both subject to
epidemics. The society of both is excel

more central place than any other, but not
so accessible. There are Fort Gibson,
Brookhaven, and Fayette, all nice places
but not faultless. The town of Brandon Is
i kind Of centre to SOUTHEAST Mississippi.
which portion has been overlooked hereto
fore in the distribution Of gifts. Now sup
pose we consider Brandon. The town Is
situated two hundred and fifty feet above
the Pearl; high, dry and salubrious-no
local cause OF sickness-no need OF its citi-
zens going to Lookout Mountains for
health. We have strerai Iookouts here,
from one We can see objects fifteen miles
Of. Pure freestone water in abundance.
Besides there are five mineral wells OF great
medicinal value. A striking feature Of
Brandon is its Female College, which has
been for many years under the entire con
troll Of female teachers. The President,
Miss F. A. johnson, is one of the most
thorough and accomplished educators in
the South. She visits our Northern col
leges and cities frequently, in order to &C
quaint herself with the Improvements Of
the age. We hope in years to come, that
our classic groves may echo with the merry
voices Of happy, healthy girls, pupils Of
your College for girls.

THE reply of Mr.. Sargent to the Sec
rotary of State answering the cablegram
announcing his promotion to the Rus
sian mission was couched in most pleas
ant terms and conveyed his thanks to
the President for the appointments and
to the Senate for his prompt confirma-
ton. He gave as his reason for declin-
ing the new place, a great pressure OF
private business in this country, and his
desire to return here to attend 10 it. sc
far so good, but special cable from
Berlin appears in the Baltimore AMER
can which puts an entirely new phrase
upon the matter. 1t says:

by the State Department in Washington o.

Questionable journalism.


The insinuation contained in an edi-
Trial appearing in the Macon Beacon Of
the zeth inst. that Mr.. C. c. Campbell
uss appointed Clerk of the Railroad
Commission because of assurance from
Judge Campbell that the board would be
treated fairly in the courts. will not
meet with favor where either Judge
Campbell or the members Of the Com
mission are known. 4 is most uniusti-
fable assault upon the character of all
concerned, and curiosity Is aroused to
know the prcmptings. Besides what is
said of the Commissioners and Judge
Campbell the Beacon seems to be es-
peeially hostile to Mr. G. C. Campbell,
else it would not have published the
untruthful statement Of its informant
The writer has personal knowledge of
the fact that Mr.. Campbell IS skillful
and accomplished accountant, and gen.
tleman of the most temperate habits.
He had the misfortune in early life to
lose an arm, but he can produce wit
nesses from among the best known and
most respected gentlemen in the State,
that with one hand he can do and does
do daily as much work as most men do
with two hands. He is eminently quail
fed for the position of Clerk of the Com
mission, else he would not have been
appointed. His qualifications were well
known to two of the members OF
the Commission, especially to Cover
nor Stone who had known Mr.. Camp
bell in personal and official relations
for nearly decade. Whether the
election of Mr. Campbell to the position
of clerk of the commission will affect hi
employment or pay as deputy clerk o
the Supreme Court, sh.uld not be mat
ter of public interest.
We are behind none in advocating tn
freedom of the press. We believe tina
public officer should be,citicized as Oc
casion demands, but ii seems to us tina
the style of journalistic criticism nov
somewhat usual, not only in Mississippi
but in other States, is fast becoming

The Riot One Lesson Of It.

St. Louis Republican,
The Cincinnati riot teaches good many
lessons, but the one of great st practical
concern, perhaps, is that a mob which
starts to do one thing may in few hours
forget that one thing and direct its atten-
ton and efforts to other and more serious
ones. Not only this !: the constitution and
character of the mob may change com
pletely in an hour Those who incite il
may drop away when they perceive that it
Is going further than they. intend and leave
it to the discretion of others who have nc
scruples to fetter their action. The Gin
cinnaii mob had no other purpose at first
than to hang the murderer BeTner, and it ii
had done this and then stopped there would
have been comparatively little to depiore.
But Berner was soon lost sight Of and the
disappointed and maddened rioters fell into
! career Of indiscriminate and wanton de-
struction of property, and towards the last
exhibited suspicious traces Of communism,
with the purpose Of general pillage and ra-
pine. II il dangerous, therefore, to give
mob in q large city 3 single hours license.
II gathers vehemence and fury every mo
ment: Il goes from one excess to another
and. If not suppressed, Is sure, in the end,
to take the form 81 absolute lawlessnees
