Washington county, Pa. His father was
one of the heaviest landed proprietors in
the State, and the son spent several
years in early youth at school in Lam

Hon. Thomas Ewing, who was at that
time Secretary of the Treasury, and
whose descendants have since been prom

Washington College and graduated at
the age Of seventeen, and for a time
taught school in his native State. He was
an occasional contributor to the maya
hines and writer of fugitive pieces for

He accepted, in 1853, call from Maine
and assumed charge Of the Kennebee

At the beginning Of his last term Of two

formed the duties Of that Office to the
satisfaction Of the lawmakers of the Pine

Democratic Delegates.

1t is of the utmost Importance that
the best men in the State be selected Al
delegates We have heard some good
names suggested; but along with these
good names We have heard many, thai
but for the partiality OF personal friends
would never be dreamed of in connec
ton with this or any other important
political Office; and, the trouble is that
these small men are being pqsnsa .aost
assiduously. We think we speak the
truth when we say We have never seen
so much anxiety to go as delegate to q
National Convention.
The danger is that from among the
numerous candidates the most suitable
persons will not be selected.
We repeat what We have said before.
substantially, that men Of uReompromis-
ing views as to candidates or measures
ought to be allowed to stay at home,
and that it is within the province of the
Convention to elect as delegates persons
who are not being pushed by their per
sonal friends.
Il the interests of the party be con-
suited all win be we'll; but if the inter
ests of individuals are to have weight in
the selection Of delegates there may be
cause to regret it.

The Healthfulness of Mississippi
To the Editor Of The Churchman:l

inquiry, in which great stress is laid on
the question Of the health of Mississippi.
do not wonder at this, although there is
ground for wonder at the persistent ig
norance of any part Of our great country
concerning any other part.
VIII you allow me to say, then that by
official Washington figures, Mississippi
Is just ORe-third healthier than New
York and Massachusetts,, twenty-five per
cent. healthier than Virginia or Indiana,
and twenty per cent. or so healthier than
illinois or Pennsylvania?
Its death rate is under thirteen in the
thousand. Considering that half its
population is colored, and that the col
ored death rate is half greater than the
white in all the South, / suppose the
ordinary white death rate in Mississippi
Is not above ten in the thousand, a little
more than one-third the death rate of
New York city.
In the letters have received there is
frequent mention of malaria, and
wholesome dread is evinced of that mys-
terious thing about which the faculty
know 50 little.
suppose there IL more of it. whatever
il is, in New York city in a week than
IN Mississippi in year. At least hear
more of its performances during one
week, visit in New York than in twelve
months at home.
The figures gave above are from the
compilations Of the Census Bureau. De.
partment of Agriculture in Washing
ton.
My own experience, and that of men
who have come from the North to Mis-
slsslppi, is that il is rarely healthy
climate and country, and that for deli
cate people, delicate in lungs or throat,
with catarrhal or bronchial troubles, il is
q home Of health and comfort. And as
to malaria, that is more to be dreaded
IN week on the Hudson than in all our
borders in a lifetime.

that in summer or winter, in spring or
fall, there need be no hesitation, on ac.
count OF health, in coming to Mississippi,
and that the delicate and non-robust, are
likely 70 find here Just the balmy and
temperate climate which will enable
them TO live and work with comfort and
ease.

Hon. 7. B. Waldrip. Of Lafayette. on
Railroad Supervision.

EDITOR CLARION: / take this oppor-
tunity to say that / heartily endorse the
position that The CLARION occupies in
regard 70 the Supervision bill that passed
our body, eand believe it is expressing
the sentiments of a large majority OF
the voters OF our State. It Is little
surprising to see the change that num-
Der Of the papers Of our State appear 70
have undergone since the passage of
said act. Prior 10 that, they we're bold
in asserting that our party, in its plat
form, was committed to supervision Of
corporations, but since its passage, and
the decisions that have been rendered
By the courts therein, they end that
there has been q great injustice done

rights have been infringed upon, ETC.,

the old sdage, that money makes the

one side, is the great monied corpora
tons with their monopolies, and on the
other side, the people.
II is strange to me TO see men who
profess TO love our form of government,

exult and rejoice at the defeat of the
Expressed will of large majority of its
people. Ny humble idea is, that this
government belongs 70 the people, and
