From the Circuit Court of Lafayette
County, W. S. Featberston, Judge.
ConstitutiopQlity Of local liquor lac.
Trial By jury.
CAMPBELL, C. ].
Wooten was prosecuted before q jus
tice of the peace at Oxford, for viola
ton of the act approved March Z, 1882,
forbidding the sale of liquor within five
miles of the University of Mississippi,
and was convicted, fined and committed
to Jail in default of payment. He then
applied to be released upon habeas cor
pus, on the ground that he had been re-
fused trial by jury, and that the act
under which he had been convicted pro-
yides for trial without the Intervention
of a jury, and is therefore unconstitu-
tional and soid. The application was
heard and dismissed; and from this de-
cision Woo.en appeals.
Sec. 81, Art. l. of the Constitution of
this State empowers the legislature to
authorize prosecutions before justices of
the peace, or other inferior courts of its
creation, in cases of misdemeanors of the
character enumerated, viz: petit larceny,
assault and battery, and Others men
toned for illustration, and to regulate
the proceedings in such cases. So far
from its being the constitutional right
of one thus prosecuted before a Justice
of the peace or other inferior court to
be tried by a jury, it may be seriously
doubted whether the introduction of
jury by act of the legislature is not
marring of the constitutional scheme
for the trial of petty offences by JUS
tice of the peace or other inferior court
to be created. There is no alIusion to
jury in the section cited, and the Ian
guage employed suggests a trial by the
justice of the peace or other court,
rather than by a jury in such court.

A Good sign.

We are receiving. by nearly every
mail, requests for specimen copies Of
The CLARION from Iowa, Ohio, and
other Western States; also, an occasion
al subscription. II affords US pleasure
to respond to all such requests, and We
hope that all to whom We may thus send
THE GLARIoN will not only become its
regular readers, but will take advantage
of the Worlds Exposition to come and
see the New South with all its advanta-
ges Of soil and climate, and the
grand opportunities it affords for the
investment Of capital and the exercise
Of brain and muscle.

Clubbing Rates.
TO OUR FRIENDS.

As We are entering upon the season of
gifts and good wishes, we desire to thank
all our friends who have expressed their
good will toward The CLARION by re-
newing their subscription for another
year There are about FIVE hundred
others whose time will expire during
the present month, from whom we shall
be pleased to hear. A renewal of sub
scription will be accepted as a Christ
mas gift and New Years wish combined.
In the first issue in January, we will
publish the names and post Office adj
dress, and amounts, of all subscriptions
received in November and December.
We hope it will be very long list. Our
friends can make it so, by timely re-
membrane and a little effort in sending
us new names.
We have been considering the matter
of making still further reduction in
the price of subscription, but do not
feel justified in doing so at present.
The oppressive tax imposed by Congress
upon the c. 'culation of newspapers, to-
gether wi d the recent advance in the
price of paper, compel us to adhere, for
the present, to the very low price, $1.50
per year, at which The CLARION is
now offered. Our combinations with
some of the leading metropolitan jour
mails has virtually reduced the price of
subscription to this journal to about
one dollar.
If each of our readers will speak a
good word to nOn-subscrihers during
the next few weeks, they will do us a
timely service. Any subscriber renew
ing, who will send MS new name, and
$3.50 for both subscriptions, will be
credited to December 31st, 1885-thus
reducing the subscription to $1.25 for
each. Or, we will send The CLARION
to clubs of six or more, at $1.25 per
year, and an extra copy to the getter-up
of club; or, to clubs of twelve or more,
at $l00 each, and an extra copy to the
friend sending the list. We received a
good many such clubs last year, and We
hope they will order again in same way.
Any subscriber, sending us $3.50 on his
own account, will be credited for two
years.
We want each subscriber to consider
himself as our agent for the next few
weeks, fully authorized to receive and
forward subscriptions.
We have no special premiums to offer,
or special promises to make for the com
ing year. After few more issues The
CLARION will complete the forty-eighth
year of its existence, and the nineteenth
under its present management. 1t will
be the aim of its conductors to make it
in the future, as in the past, subserve
the best interests of the people of our
beloved State. We have entered upon
new era-one, we believe, of peace,
good will, and general confidence and
prosperity. Our people have been under
the cloud, but the rays of a new and
better order of things are already pene-
trating and reviving every interest; and,
leaving the past, with all its misfortunes
and mistakes, let us press forward with
hopeful hearts and busy hands, in the
achievement of personal and general
success. That each of our readers may
contribute to and participate in this
general prosperity, is our wish.
The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1884-12-03

One naturally expects that the State
will in future decline to receive any
portion of our income, when she has de-
liberately determined to withhold from
that income what she owes it.
And again:
Contribution to it 1.-THE Fund.- Of her
own debt should precede distribution of
any portion of it.
All going to show that the Trustees,
while, in fact, operating through their
own chosen agents in the management
of their trust and in the distribution of
the benefaction to the objects of Mr..
Peabody's bounty, have, curiousIy
enough, acted in this matter on the idea
that they have been dealing with the
State.
The State has not been asked to say
whether she would accept or refuse dona-
tions to the cause of popular education.
No sum of money for that purpose has
been rendered to the State by the Trus-
tees. The occasion for making choice
has not been presented by them. When
it is presented it will be time enough for
the State to act.
We regret that the Trustees have felt
urged 20 the course they have adopted.
1t is hardly necessary for us to say that
they are all men of large intelligence,
and, in the main, of national reputation.
They understand as well as we do, the
condition of affairs in Mississippi. They
know as well as we the urgent need of
extraneous aid to the cause of educa-
ton. They especially do the
gentlemen who framed the report on
the Mississippi bonds know-how futile
is the agitation of such a question just
at this time; and they know that the
State, however anxious it might be to
pay these bonds, is in no condition to
do so now. Mississippi is living up to
her income, and every dollar which she
can afford to spend is being used to edu-
cate her children. 1t is cruel to ask
that they be made to suffer in order that
fund which philanthropy has dedi-
ca ted to the uses of education in the
S, clay be increased for the benefit
m -r-ilv of the children of other States.
