What is Good for Lowndes is Good
for the State.

Mr.. Sykes has introduced bill, appli-
cable to Lowndes county only, to pay
the County Superintendent $500, and
authorizing the Board of Supervisors to
have him visit and inspect the public
schools as often as they may deem neces-
sary, and for such visitation they shall
pay him an additional amount at the
rate of IS per day.
This bill is move in the right direc-
ton. The County Superinteudents, if the
office is to be continued, should be re-
quired to give their time and attention
to the schools under their charge and
fairly compensated for their services.
We suggest that the bill be made gener-
al What is good for Lowndes is good
for the State at large, Mr.. Sykes de-
serves credit for giving attention to the
educational interests of his county,
This is one of the best things we have
seen proposed, but better still would be
the plan Of paying County Superintend-
ents salary commensurate with the
work needed and the qualifications nee
essary to the Office, and then requiring
of them earnest and efficient work.
The payment Of fair salary would be
in the interest of economy. The in
spection indicated, and the consequent
influence would operate a saving in more
efficient work on the part of teachers,
in awakening of interest ON the part of
parents and pupils in the success of the
schools and very probably saving in
detecting fraudulent reports and the
consequent transportation and squan-
dering Of money. 1t is fact that in
no other department do we expect to
employ good men at such small salaries
as in the public school system, We
hope this bill will command the atten-
ton Of the Legislature, and that out of
il will grow law that will tend to i'm
prove and make more efficient our pub
! lie schools

II not, the young criminal after serving his

he is ready to commit outrage and crime
again. So we may expect to suffer as q

bill declaring forfeited certain grants
of land made to certain States in aid Of
the construction Of railroads" The
report and the bill had special reference
to the proposition to reinstate the grant
of lands to the Gulf and Ship Island
Railroad. Mr.. Van Eaton, a member
of the Committee, submitted very able
minority report, in which he recited
the many good reasons why the State
OF Mississippi had been unable, by the
intervention of the war, etc, to comply
with all the conditions Of the grant.
When the question came up, Mr., Van
Eaten was too unwell to discuss it, and
on the motion Of Mr.. Cobb, Chairman
of the Committee, its further considera-
ton was deferred.

Senator Edmunds Rebuked.

Pending the question OF confirming
the appointment of Mr.. Emory Speer to
be United States District Attorney for
the Northern District OF Georgia, Sena-
tor Edmuuds INDUCED some sneering
remarks about the Southern people, and
especially Southern Democrats and their
Senatorial representatives. Senator
Butler, of South Carolina, replied with
force, and at this stage Of the proceed
ings, as we learn from the Washington
Post, Senator Lamar joined in the dis
cussiOn:
II was at this point that Senator Lamar
arose and speaking in tho dignihsd and
careful manner which usually characterizes
his utterances in the Senate, denounced the
statements OF Mr. Edmunds as premedi-
tated and wanton insults 10 the Southern
people generally, and particularly to their
Representatives in the Senate. II am a
member OF the Judiciary Committee" said
Mr.. Lamar, "and as such propose to vote
for MIR. Speers confirmation; but I shall
not give him my support upon the ground
which the Senator from Vermont has basod
HIS, but for reasons directly contrary. Mr.
Speer is probably the best representative
of his class-though very poor class it is
and If we defeat his confirmation the
next appointment to the vacancy now exist
ing will probably DO worse. l shall
vote for him IA q matter of duty, il not as
matter of pleasure. l have read
the newspaper reports OF Mr.. Youmans'
speech, and while do not endorse il in it's
entirety and under the same circumstances
perhaps would not have gwen utterance to
it myself, have no hesitation in saying
that it could not and did not compare in
vindictiveness and falsity to the political
harangue which have just heard from the
senator from Vermont, | wish TO say to the
Senator that | am compelled TO regard his
utterances as a deliberate intent to insult
the representatives OF the Southern people
on this floor
"Oh, no, no." said Mr.. Edmunds, rising
briskly from his seat, II trust my friend
from Mississippi will acquit me OF any
such intention.V
WELL" said Senator Lamar, ain spite OF
the disclaimer of the Senator | must ad-
here to my declaration that his eStraordi-
nary speech at the beginning of this debate
could have had no other purpose in view
than desire to aifront the Southern mem
bers of the Senate, and to hold them up to
the view of Senators as the unblushing de-
tenders of political policy, than which no
worse can be conceived of, in this or any
other country. positively believe that
his intention was to insult, Individually
and collectively, every Southern Senator on
this floor, and, so far as | am personally
concerned, must say to the Senator that
he has succeeded"

The Lien Law.

The contest in the House on the re-
peal Of the Lien Law was very close.
There was a majority Of three against
i's repeal. The Senate, however, passed
a bill repeating it. This bill when
taken up in the House, opens the whole
question anow, in that body, and when
the body is 40 equally divided, it will
be difficult 10 foretell how IL will be de-
cided.
We have seldom known a question,
where both sides adhere 10 their posi-
tons 40 pertinaciously, as they do in
this Legislature, on the Lien Law.
At no period in our history, or that OF
any other country, Of which we have
any knowledge, have there been such
Lien Laws on the statute books as are
found on ours, since the State Of Missis-
sipp has been reconstructed
The "carpetbaggers," backed by Fed
eral power, remodeled our Constitution,
and made our laws for us, and while
some few tolerable changes we're made,
yet they cngraited In our legislation
many laws, which were entirely new IN
US, and based on the principle or prece-
dent in the common law Of England, or
its statutory laws
The idea that a mortgage or deed Of
trust could be given on 4 phantom, or n
thing that did not exist, never occurred
TO us. The rule was practiced for years
that commission merchant would nd
vance the cotton planter money on his
growing crop, but it was planted and
growing generally before he got the ad-
vancement. That was simply personal
risk, but the deed Of trust system in
vogue in Mississippi, creates legal lien
on what the circumambient atmosphere,
the sunshine aud rain, with much skill
and labor added, may produce in the
future, and on that kind Of security the
new American citizen could command
land mules, corn and meat
The courts--strange things they have
TO 90 sometimes into this G.. b
theory, and actually legalzed this phan
tasmagoria, and now VIC find our gooC
people 80 divided in sentiment on thu
practicability of continuing the system
that it is disturbing the peaceful rela
tons which should exist between land
lord and tenant,
Within the last few years a new facto
comes in between the landlord and ten
ant--the merchant who supplies the ten
ant. lie necessarily runs some risk, ant
, he must be paid for it, and he charge
fifty per cent, and sometimes more
above his usual profit, and the clerk
fees and interest added, and no tenan
can pay his rents and such exorbitan
profits and live, and the consequence is
temptations to steal, smuggle, swindle o
do anything to cheat the landlord ant
merchant.
Never have we witnessed more homes
effort among Legislators to solve thi
knotty problem Of the relation whicl
! shall exist between the three clnsse
above mentioned, than is manifeste
; daily by them We trust the wisdom
of the body may devise some plan whic
will give satisfaction to all and do in
Justice to none. Our individual Opinion
il, If more corn and meat were produced
and less cotton, that in one year tn
main difficulties would be removed.
