Money easy at 1902 per cent. Prime mer-
camille paper 1854 per cent. Sterling ex-
change, bankers bills firm at S4.87A do. ex.

Stocks-Weak and lower in the morning for
Pacific Mail, Philadelphia g. Reading and Della
ware, Lackawana g Western. The former
dropped from SO to 81 and closed at 52H. The
decline was due to q raid by traders who expected
to find stop ORDERS but did not succeed Coal
shares weak on a reported falling off in the de-
mand for coal, hitch in the percentages on
western business and dissatisfaction among the
miners. Outside of these shares the market was
higher, Union Pacific Lake Shore, Missouri Pa
cifc, Chicago g. Northwestern, Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, New York. Lake Erie &c Western,
Northern Pacific and Western Union Telegraph
being noticeably strong. New York, Lake Erie
& Western was in better demand. Some of the
leading holders called in their stock to-day and
shares lent fiat. During the afternoon the market
was lower on advices from Boston that the Chi
cago, Burlington g Quincy and Union Pacific con-
ference had adjourned without action, subject to
the call of the chair. At the close, however,
there was report, generally credited, that the
conference had practically resulted in an agree
ment to pool Nebraska and Kansas business, the
agreement to be submitted TO the full boards of
The two companies before being made pubic.
This report was supplemented by an announce
ment that the Trunk line presidents had pri-
vate and informal conference at the Grand Cen
trail depot and that the differences of the roads
were in a fair way to a settlement. These re-
ports and announcements caused fresh demand
for stocks and the market advanced, closing
strong at or near the best figures of the day.
The governing committee of the Stock Exchange
resolved to have four calls daily OF inactive
stocks, in order to give closer quotations than
are now obtainable for this class of securities.
The transactions aggregated $4,000 shares:
Delaware, Lackawana & Western $4,000; New
York, Lake Erie & Western "a, 900; Lake Shore

The Lien Law in the Senate.

The discussion in the Senate on the
bill to repeal section 1859, Code 1880,
the Lien Law, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, was very interesting. Messrs. Kyle,
Luse, Burkitt, Packwood, Hyer, Roane,
Of Calhoun. Wilson and Smith spoke il
favor Of repeating the law. The argu-
msnt, advanced we're, that by eneourag-
ing aud allowing credit to a class that
were improyident had done much to put
the laboring class irredeemably in debt
aud had worked the ruin in many cases
Of the Merchants M well. We regret
that we cannot give the remarks Of each
speaker on both sides. Mr.. Luse thought
that the bill was too sweeping, not only
repeating the lien Law but prohibiting &
credit known to the common law, but
would vote for the bill as the best thing
he could get and for the sake Of his con,
stituents who desired the repeal.
Me.srs. Guyton, Sykes and Boyd
spoke against the repeal Of the law.
They regarded the law ms beneficial
tc the poor classes, as it gave them
a credit which otherwise they could
not get, and hat for which they
would surely suffer. No man was com
PEELED to give a mortgage, and, il he
took advantage Of the Law, he could use
II with discretion. They knew men that
had greatly profted by. giving mortga-
ges on crops They asked in tho inter.
est OF the farming class that tho law be
retained. They wished no class legsla-
ton, but since all prosperity depended
on that class, it was eminently proper
that legislation In their behalf should he
wisely framed, and no step which threat
ened to change the business Of the coun-
try should now be attempted. The bill
passed by vote Of 20 to u.

THE LEGISLATURE.

In the middle Of the third week Of the
session, the main business is fairly I'M
der way, the members seem TO be eager
for the forensic fray. A large number
Of bills have been introduced, and
many Of them killed in their incipiency,
and are out Of the way.
There arc many new members who
are beginning tn get "he hang Of The
school house" by learning the intricecie,
Of parliamentary law and the rules, and
business Seems TO be the order Of the
day.
The main subjects which now engage
the attention Of the Legislature, arc the
lien law---the free pass railway bill, the
supervision Of railroads, and the cxemp-
ton law. Sharp discussions on oil these
measures, except the supervision bill,
have taken place, cliciting much diver
sity Of opinion, some feeling, and a good
share Of ability.
These are all questions in which the
people feel a deep interest, and they
should receive nt the hand. Of their
representatives calm, careful and de.
liberate investigation, and guard againa
extremes either way
The difficulty or obstacles to m easy
adjustment Of the lien aud exemption
laws, arise from the changed and IN.
settled condition Of our labor system
A general law on these subjects will be
hard TO frame that will suit the many
localities 10 the State, where the land
lord and tho tenant occupy relations
one TO the other, not common through
out the commonwealth.
| II We judge correctly, there is very
strong feeling in favor Of repeating the
lien law and increasing exemptions, We
do not profess TO be well informed as Ia
the temper OF Legislators on the extent
OF reforms they may inaugurated. W,
send out full daily reports Of their pro
cecdings and the people who read them
and tho county presses are as capable Of
judging what will be done a. we are.

One Of our Columbus contemporaries.
in commenting on Mr.. Sykes remarks
on the Railroad Pass Bill, asks ques.
ton which the language Of the Senator
does not, we think, warrant. The Ian
guage which The CLARION attributed,
in substance, to Mr.. Sykes was this;
THAT he felt he had a right to re-
ceiye pass as part pay for legitimate
services rendered, but was willing to
forego and extinguish that right, pro
rided editors and others who were SINH
larly situated, were made to do likewise"
The Index says:
"Our friend, Senator Sykes, makes the
point that he felt he had right to re-
ceiye pass from railroad in part pay
for legitimate services rendered As q
member Of the Legislature, doewhe
mean? II so, we would ask what ser
vices, as a Senator, does he consider
legitimate as part pay for pass?'
How the editor of the Index could
misunderstood the language Of the sens-
tor 80 far as to render his question nee
essary, we cannot see. II the word le-
climate was not explicit enough, the
latter part Of the sentence, where "edi-
tors and Others similarly situated" are
spoken Of, ought to have explained it.
II the Index can see no legitimate ser
vices that could be rendered as a Sena-
tor, then it ought to infer that those
must be rendered in some other way.
Mr.. Sykes meant to say that
an editor who paid for his
pass by advertising ought to be allowed
to retain it, whether member OF the
Legislature or not; so, also, the attorney
of a railroad company who, like Mr..
Sykes, received his pass from that rail-
road in part pay of services rendered
had right to retain his pass though
he should be member of the Legisla-
ture. He was, however, willing to give
it up if editors and others similarly sit
uated should do likewise.

Whisky or Tea.

Senator Frye and Senator Bayard are
discussing the question what sort of
drinks shall be used in the capital.
Frye wants whisky excluded. Bayard
is willing for malt liquors to be retained.
Other Senator'S, who are conservative
and very moral, use tea, while initiating
Roman Senators in their dignifed and
patriotic speeches in tho American Sen.
ate.
This reminds us of an incident which
occurred in court, when the greatest
land lawyer in the West, Pleasant NJ.
Miller, was arguing the celebrated case
of Cooke VS.. Porter, lessee. Judge Ed
ward Scott (who died here in Jackson)
was presiding lie ordered that no
spirituous liquors should be brought in
the courthouse during tho term. Mr..
Miller couldn't make speech without
it. He asked the court to allow his
client, Mr.. Cooke, to supply him with
cool drinking water during the trial.
Mr. Cooke went to store near by and
fixed the water-msde grog strong
enough, and used black tin cup.
Judge Miller would call ont: "a lit
tie more of your water, Mr.. Cooke"
The Senators can call fer "a little
more tea, Mr.. Clerk"

The JACKSON CLARION, with its characte:
istic foresight and sagaciiv, has secured the
services of Judge James NJ, Howry on its
editorial staff. This excellent journal, rs
well rs its intelligent readers everywhere,
are to DO congratulated upon such an &C.
cossion. Judge Howry, while not an old
man, is one Of the higher, stronger, nobler
links in the eventful chain which connects
Mississippfs earlier history with her pres
ent, he having occupied many positions of
honor and trust, and is to-day, as he has
over been, regarded az one Of tho purest
and best men in the State.
That his shadow may never grow less,
and that his days of usefulness may be
greatly extended is our earnest wish.--Pa-
tron of Husbandry,
In transferring to our columns the
foregoing compliment to our worthy CO.
laborer, we may remark that although
Judge Howry has passed his fourth score
year, he is not in any sense IAN old
man." He has not been much in the
newspaper harness, but on all public or
fraternal questions that he has consider
ed, he writes with the nuency and vigor
of youth, tempered by the discretion of
his mature years. In one department
of literature, his reputation is national
and enviable.

n OF Eligible.

We referred, on Monday, to the incli-
gibility of members of the Legislature
to a place on Railroad Commission. A
moro careful examination OF our pres.
ent Constitution fully explains why the
author of the bill did not insert a clause
declaring members of the Legislature
ineligible to such an Office. Sec. 3S Of
Art. " says:
"No Senator or Representative, during
the term for which he was elected, shall be
appointed to any office of profit under this
State, which shall have been created, or the
emoluments Of which have been increased
during tho time such Senator or Represen-
tative was in office, except TO such Offices
as may be allied by an election by the PEG
pie"

The resignation Of Judge McCrcary,
Of the Circuit Judgeship of the United
States, to accept the position Of Railroad
Counsel, shows that money is a good
lover, even among men of great talents
and standing.
How many Democrats have been re.
garded as fit to Gil a judicial station in
this great country since President Bu-
ohanan was PRESIDENT If any courts
in the world should be clear Of partizan
and political judges it should be those
Of the United States.
II is remarkable instance when a
judge resigns, Mr.. Jefferson said they
aerr resignand seldom die

70, they go off the bench pensioned for
life with s., 500 and upwards.
