A paper has been prepared, one Of tkiEh is

your valuable space would be much OL,igA to
have you publish it with this communsea1?n) }.
Upon this paper you will observe, in q v9eN few

ment of them and be Of great value to NJ E1
In addition to this propose to have s&8Ege
cards the course OF study of our collegae emi-
naries, high and grammar schools, display In
as conspicuous manner as possible.
am of opinion, Mr. Editor, that notiisH on
exhibition in that great Exhibition from >rida

cational work, and il will cost nothings Xnhe
work of the pupils and teachers and superigE9

A New Question.

The statutes regulating the sale of
liquors by the small, require, among
other things, that the petition for license
shall be published for three weeks in
some newspaper published in the town or
county, where license is to be issued,
and if there be no newspaper published
in the county, said petition shall be
posted in two or more public places in
the town or district where the liquors
are to be sold Recently the board of
supervisors of certain county granted
license, the order reciting that the petit
ton had been properly advertised
when in fact it had not been published
in newspaper, though it is claimed
that there is a newspaper in the county.
This may give rise to very interesting
legal question. Manifestly, the power to
determine whether newspaper is pub
lished in a county is confided by the
statute to the board of supervisors. In
this particular case they have decided,
in effect, that there is no newspaper pub
ished in the county, while the owner
OF paper published IN the county AYERS
that it is notorious fact that Keus-
paper has been published in the county
for several months. The exact point to
be determined, is whether the decision
of the board was made in the exercise
of that judicial discretion which the ap-
pellate courts will not disturb, or
whether they exercised that other sort
Of discretion, the abuse Of which Ii
sometimes restrained by the appellate
courts. For the present we have the
claim of an individual that a newspaper
is being published in the county, oppos-
ed by the judgment of court of record,
that such is not the fact. We trust that
an appeal will be taken from this judg-
ment. 1t ought not to be that it lies
within the power of an inferior tribunal
like the board of supervisors to decide.
definitiyely, that paper which claims TO |
be newspaper is not a newspaper. In |
the progress of the cause, should an ap- |
peal be taken, we may get a judicial |
definition of what d newspaper is. 1t /
may be, though heaven forbid, that not
every paper claiming to. be newspaper
is in contemplation of law a newspaper.
1t is not enough that we know what edi-
tors and publishers understand to be a
or what boards of supervisors
understand to be newspapers. We want
a judicial decision on the subject from
the highest court The question we APP
is res nora, which would seem
to indicate that the popular opinion that
ali papers which are in form newspapers,
are in fact ne,cspapers,is correct; but the
first court in the State before which the
question was brought, has determined
very much to our surprise,
and, being simple board of supervisors
court, we hardly think that the dignity
Of the profession win be maintained,
except by an appeal and a reversal.

The amendment of Mr.. O'HARA OF
the interstate commerce bill providing
that "any person having purchased a
ticket to be conveyed from one State to
another, or paid the required fare, shall
receive the same treatment and be af-
forded equal facilities and accom- moda-
tions as are furnished all other persons
holding tickets of the same class without
discrimination" created quite breeze
in the House. The point made bv him
that If Congress has the right to saw
how property should be carried. il GER
tainly has the right to say how persons
shall be carried, seems to be we'll taken.
If the proposed legislation be constitu-
fiona, which we doubt, it at least ought
not to precede an effort on the part of
the States to correct alleged abuses, and
we. therefore, are not disturbed about
such amendments as will tend to show
that the power which Congress is now
attempting to exercise is dangerous
power, in that its assertion is necessarily
: denial to the States Of the powers re-
served to them by that construction of
the Constitution which s the founda-
tion Of Democratic ideas.

THE Worlds Exposition will not be
closed to visitors on Sunday. On the
contrary, the price of admission on that
day will be one-half the regular rate.
The machinery, however, will not be in
motion on the Sabbath, and exhibitors
may or may not show their goods. Ex-
hibits covered on Saturday night may
remain covered until Monday morning.
DR.. Marshall's suggestion of religious
services was observed on Sunday last,
when, after grand concert by the Next
can Band of eighty pieces, Rev. Chas.
5. Allen, of the Unitarian Church, New
Orleans, discussed "The Real Saint or
the Pharisee and Publican. The "en-
vironments' on the Sunday question are
not easy of adjustment, and those who
do not approve of the gates being opened
on the Sabbath can remain on the out
side. Our own judgment is that it
would be better to let the Exposition
rest on the Lords Day, but we are not
running the machine.

Pay of Federal Supervisors.
LIBERTY. Miss. Dec. IS. 1884.

LIBERTY, Miss, Dec. Is, 1884.
FDIroR CLARION: Will you inform
me whether Federal Supervisors, who per-
formed services during the election, are
entitled to pay; and if so, what amount,
and who are the proper authorities to
pay them? Please answer through the
columns of your paper.
Yours, &c, P. L. B.
Having referred the foregoing to Mr..
Mckee, Chief Supervisor for Mississippi,
he gives the following for the informa-
ton and comfort of all concerned;
SEC. 2031, Z. ;. Revised Statutes:
"And there shall be allowed and paid
to each Supervisor of Election, and
each special deputy marshal who is APP
pointed and performs his duty under
The preceding provisions, compensation
at the rate OF OF five dollars per day, for
each day he is actually on duty, not ex-
ceeding ten days; bit no compensation
shall be aito,ced, III any case, to Supervisors
Of Election, e1cept to those appointed IN
cities or tOIcns 81 ttceRty thousand or morc
Inhabitants"
The above extract fully answers your
inquiry. There being 10 cities in this
State of twenty thousand inhabi ants,
no compensation can be allowed to any
u. 5. Supervisors.
Yours Respectfully,
J. VI. MCKEE, Chief Supervisor.

soH, how We long for the clad day

aOHl how we long for the glad day
when the press Of Mississippi can in
truth say it is independent is the way
the West Point New Era puts it, all
because the Hon. Gro. :. DoDDs was
selected to carry the electoral vote of
Mississippi to Washington in preference
to four editors who wanted to perform
that delicate and responsible duty for
the State. Which is why we remark
that while four to one generally gives
an advantage to the four. as in a knock
down and drag out" when four editors
are candidates against one lawyer, the
chances are greatly in favor of the
lawyer This is natural enough, be-
cause each of the editors Is supposed
to be intent on beating not only the
| lawyer, but the other editors, and to the
extent that each aids in the defeat of
his press brother he helps to elect the
! lawyer Do you see? We ask leave
to suggest that the influence of the
press should never be dissipated by ex,
tending it over too much ground. One
editor candidate at time should be the
rule. In the particular instance re
ferred to by the New Era, the editor
candidates should have caucused. By
pursuing this course they would have
had a decided advantage over Mr.
DoDDs, because he was not fortunate
enough to have anybody to caucus with

Quick Work.

Geo. P. Rowell 4 Co., No. 10 Spruce
Street, New York, are the most prompt
and reliable advertising agents we have
ever had any business dealings with during
seven years experience. We have ham
died considerable advertising through them
and never had dispute on an account,
never had delay of one moment
more than is absolutely necessary 20 glance
over their books. They have their sys-
tenn so complete that our last statement
containing the accounts of eight different
advertisers and covering different dates,
which was sent to New York from this
office on Monday, Nov 18th, was received
in the advertising department of Roweli's
in New York on the 10Th, and at FIVE O'Clock
on the 10Th we had their draft for the full
(Ohiol Herald.
The CLARION has been doing business
with Geo. P. Rowell & Co, for nearly
twenty years. and takes pleasure in en-
dorsing all that can be said in praise of
their promptness and reliability. They
have never questioned an account rem
dered, and never fail to remit promptly
the amount of each contract.

some serious bodily harm; and when or

Whereupon, SLocUM, and few friends
whom be had gathered around him
opened fire with shotguns on the lawless
band and succeeded in dispensing them,
after killing WAYNE CRAVE and serious
ly wounding JOHN Lone, who were left

Mgr. Capel and Father Quinn's Ro.
nance.
st. Louis Republican. |

st. Louls Republican,
Father Quinn's statement that Mgr.
Capels mission to this country had for
its principal object the assistance of the
Republican candidates, and the detach-
nent of the irish Catholic vote from rfe
Democratic party, will probably evoke
lively rejoinder from the distinguished
foreigner or his friends. Tie statement,
on its face, appears rather ridiculous,
but there will be some curiosity to ascer-
tain why it was made, and discussion
will probably arise which may help to
enliven the political pause following an
exciting election. If Mgr. Capel had
any private mission to the United States
it was his own business, and we do not
know that the people are greatly con-
serned in knowing what It was. He
certainly has the same right any other
foreigner aas, to visit Us, TO 60 up and
down in our land, to be dined and wined
and interviewed, and to lecture to the
audience that may gather to hear him.

Mississippi Birds at the Exposition

Among other exhibits brought down
yesterday by the steamer Natchez for the
Exposition was large case of stuffed
birds, all killed in Adams county, Miss.
The scene is most happily chosen. aThe
Burial of Cock Robin" thus illustrating
the favorite Mother Goose melody
through the agency OF the bird kingdom OF
a portion of the great State of Mississippi.
The exhibit will be the most pleasing to the
little folks, as well as their elders, as
through the medium of so simple subject
their attention must surely be drawn to
the beauties of animated nature The
posing of the seperate specimens and their
final gathering into one large group, is
most artistic, and shows most decided
talent in taxidermist skill. The piece
contains over one hundred birds, compris-
ing nearly sixty distinct varieties, and is
the handsome work of Miss Carrie Poole,
an amateur taxidermist OF Natchez. 1t
will be placed in the Adams county exhibit
of the Mississippi department. Miss Poole
Uttered $3.50 for the case, but she
refused to sell, as she wished 10 have IT
