DEATH OF JUDGE H. P. REID.

We regret to hear of the death Of
Judge II. 2. Reid, of Friars Point,
Miss, which occurred en- the 9th
inst. He was a self made man In
every sense of the word. When an
orphan boy, 10 or IL years of age,
he was taken in our Office al an ap,
prentice to learn the printing bust
mesa. He was then under the guar
dianship of Maj. q. P. Maxwell, his
uncle, who has since died. Judge
Reid was n of Friars Points most
eminent citizens. He was well and
favorably known throughout the
State of Mississippi as an able anc
conscientious lawyer. a good clti-
zen and one who has ever been a
friend 10 Nj Mississippi. Peace to his
ashes.

A strong argument in favor of
the removal Of the State capital is
that the present building lie in a
most dilapidated condition and
needs an immediate and thorough
Overhauling from cellar to dome,
all Of which will entail an enormous
expense, while the people Of Meri-
dian if the capital is to b removed,
will net only bear all the expense
Of the removal, but will alSO erect
and give to the State a new State
house and provide all the ether
necessary buildings. When the re.
mOval was first suggested the mat
ter was regarded in the light of
joke, bat we were told In Jackson {
day or two since that the movement
meets with the earnest support o

The proposition to remove the
seat of government to Meridian was
disposed of in the House yesterday
without debate. A melton to sub.
nit the question To a vete Of the
people of the State was adopted by
a vets Of 48 to sc, but the bill, on
its passage, was defeated by a vote
of 46 TO 80. The originators of the
measure developed much skill and
geperalship in securing SO large a
support, and the growing city Of the
Mighty East is indebtedt to them for
their zeal in behalf OF her interest.
They accepted very gracefully the
verdict of the House. 1t is pleasant
to note that in a matter involving
SO much, and where convictions on
both sides ofthe question were very
positive, that nothing has been said
or done by the advocates Of the
measure to which its opponents
could justly take exceptiOA.-Clar

Railroad Supervision Is again be-
fore the Legislature. The bill pre-
pared by the committee Of ten, as a
substitute for these already before
the Legislature, was the order for
yesterday. We have looked ever
the bill presented, and we do not
find thatIt has been very much i'm
proved, certainly not enough, We
think, TO remove the objections
which Governor Lowry had to the
first bill, which he vetoed. Some
Of the members Of tie Legislature
seem to be impressed with the idea
that their constituents require OF
them the passage Of a supervisory
law including all the paraphernalia
OF commissioners, clerks, offices,
and the attendant expense of a
large amount OF the money Of the
State. Really such supervision as
that contemplated by the bills dis
cassed by the present Legislature,
is not what is wanted blythe large
majority Of the people Of the State.
We have no idea that those who
have not the benefit of those impor-
tant thoroughfares, would be viii
ling to throw any obstacle in the
way Of their construction, and the
principal object of those who have
railroad privilegesis to save them
selves some of the annoyancss Incl
dent to their running, PARTICULAR,
that Of the losses caused by tn
frequent killing of their stock. ]
the Legislature SHOULD enact pru
dent laws providing for the pay

Omaha Bee: The death of Right
Reverend Robert b. Clarksou, bishop Of

knew him he had been especially endear.
ed to the people of his own church,
which he had done 60 much to build up.
No western preiate enjoyed higher
reputation either on this or the other
side of the Atlantic.
While ardently devoted to the church
which had honored him. and to the edu.
rational instructions with which that
church is intimately associated, Bishop
Clarkson was a man of broad aud liberal
ideas-tolerant. generous. and patriotic.
DE was pre'eminently good American
citizen. loyal to the city Of his adoption
~ all its interests. Omaha loses in bis
death one of her most enterprisine
philanthroplsts. She is indebted to his
efforts for one of the most beautiful
church edifices in the United States,
which will be an enduring monument to
his devotion and practical piety To hin,
more than any other of her citizens Oma.
ha is indebted for an institution in whici,
some of our best women have been edu.
Gated. and the hospital which affords
shelter, food and treatment for the sick
children of the poor. will forever com.
memorate bis benevolence.
