The Female COIIege-A Word fol-
Columbus.

EDITOR CLARION / have read with in
terest the communication of your cores
pondent "a" in your issue of the 18th
inst, in relation to the location of the
Female College of the State. agree with
him that any location of the College fur
ther south than Kosciusko would be high
ly improper. 1t should not and it cannot
be located in any portion of the State sub
ject to yellow fever and other epidemics
without palpable violation of the condi-
tons of the act Of the Legislature Kos
ciusko is undoubtedly very suitable place
for the College on the score Of healthful-
ness, and other advantages mentioned by
"A but he does not tell rs what arrange
ments exist for the accommodation of the
school If it should be located there nor
does he say word about the money which
the people of Kosciusko will contribute
towards the establishment Sf the School in
that town. Let me, therefore, say, that
there is city in the State whose sanitary
condition stands only second to all the
cities in the country, according to the
United States census, and whose social and
religious advantages are unexeelled by any
city in the State; and which offers to the
College ample and excellent buildings
already erected and ready for use, connected
with which are twenty acres Of excellent
land, with an ample supply of the best
water coming into its wells through white
pebbles and sand, and is as soft as rain
water itself, all Of which property may
fairly be estimated at $4,000, together
with cash donation of Sc. 900. max
ing in Vail at least $4,000 And that
Is Columbus. Columbus is now one of the
most accessible cities by rail in the State,
and will soon have no rival in this regard.
1t has now the Mobile and Ohio Road.
which connects at Meridian with the Vicks-
burg and Meridian Road, and with the
new road from Meridian to New Orleans.
1t also connects At Corinth with the Mem
phis and Charleston Road, and its
branches leading into Mississippi; and |
also has Its branches to Aberdeen and |
Starkvilie. It also connects with the new
road from Canton to West Point at the lat
ter place, and thus brings West Mississippi /
into easy communication with Columbus 4
BY rail- A new road is now being surveyed /
from Columbus to Memphis, via Oxford,
and other large towns, and will soon be L
built. Third, the Memphis aud Selma Il
Road will be built, as Is now contem-
plated, BY syndicate which promises to
complete the road very soon. cannot
see how any place can be more accessible
By rail to all parts Of the State than
Columbus. Hthe College shall be located

Suggestions to Tax-Payers.

Much has been said in regard to high
taxes in our county and at this time a
few suggestions would not be out Of order.
and especially to our Board of Supervisors
who viii soon make the levy for county
taxes.
The fact is, there is no money to the
credit of the general county fund in the
treasury. County paper is now being sold
on our steeets at 10 per cent. discount; and
by the time taxes begin to come in the coun-
ty will have outstanding against it about
$4,000 of this floating paper and those
unacquainted with counto affairs naturally
inquire why is this the case?
The following levees for general county
purposes for the years since 1874 Is q suhi-
cient answer to all inquiries Of this kind /:
In 1874 there was levied for general
county purposes $500, on each 1000 Of
valuation in 1875 $10.75; in 1876, 5000;
in 1877 1900; in 1878 81 so; in 1879 81 so !;
in 1880 $500; in 1881 $500; in 1882 81 90 /;
in 1888 $50.
This shows continual decreuse of the
levies for general county purposes since
1874, when there has been no correspond
ing decrease in expenses.
We cannot complain OF high taxes; for
if We deduct the tax u0ted upon Us, (viz, the
railroad taxi we now pay $I4.50 on each
$1,000 worth Of property, being $3.50 less
per Thousand than we have paid since the
war.
Let our Beard Of Supervisors solve this
problem: If with county debt Of 1915
900 hanging over as, and q county levy
totally inadequate to meet the current ex-
penses, thereby issereasiag the debt at the
rate Of about $4,000 per year, is it not
economy, and the true policy to pursue, 10
levy = tax each year sufficient to meet
these curFent expenses, rather than reduce
the levy and allow the debt to accumulate
year after year, which, II ever paid, will
require an enormous levy In future years
10 cover our small annual de6cit noW3
High taxes are ever to be deplored, and
should be avoided If possible, but the
question now to decide il, shall We pay out
gradually or shall We allow our county
finances crock along as We are now doing

Rlains,s Letter Of Acceptance.

Whatever view may be taken of Mr..
Blaine's letter as literary composition,
We doubt If it viii effect what was vx-
pected Of it by those who have been
anxiOusly waiting for its appearance in
the public prints. Much Of II Is devoted
to ! discussion of the tariff issue, and
this particular portion Of Il seems To-
have been written before the meeting Of
the Democratic Convention and under
the belief that that Convention would
Be governed in its utterances concern
ing the tariff, by thecrack-brained mem
bers Of the Democratic party, who in
| this State and elsewhere, insisted that
all other issues of the campaign should
be controlled by the tariff question.
But the wisdom of the party in conven-
ton assembled has given to the coun-
try a platform which, in its relations to
the tariff, is eminently satisfactory to
all interests, and moreover, is framed in
obedience to the limitations OF the
National Constitution.
It may suit Mr.. Blaine's purposes to
make it appear that the Democratic par
ty is intent on a revision and reduction
of the tariff which will work destruction
to the labor interests of the country; but
his efforts in that direction, as he will
| find, will not be successful.
What viii impress the reader of Mr.,
Blaines letter most is the strong contrast
between the declarations of his letter
and the record of his official and private
life as disclosed in leading journals
Indeed it were the luekiest day of his
life could he induce the American pub
lie to Judge him by his letter instead
of by his record He will find, however
that as often as he alleges his faith ii
the purity of the Republican party anc
his fitness for the most honorable ofic'
in the country, just so often will thu
people declare that no man who hal
begged to be compensated by corruP
tionists for his official acts shall b
! President of the United States. All th'
: letter-writing which Mr. Blaine could d.
before the election takes place will no
blind the virtuous voter to the tru'
) issue of the canvass; nor make him be
. lieve that bad man though gifted witt

f dency. The people are now far enough
! away from the war and the prejudices i
} engendered, to try men and parties by tn
evidence which ought to control reason
+ and the verdict in November will b

leader are guilty of such crimes agains

The State Female College.

We had hoped the further discussion
of locating the State Female College
would be RENTED to the trustees, whose
province it is 10 determine the matter.
But we have another communication in
this issue, and from gentleman who is
entitled to be heard, and if there are
others who wish a bearing, our columns
are open until the meeting of the board.
Our friend, Col. Wesson, in his zeal
for the thriving town that bears his
honored name, has allowed himself to
indulge in filings at other points, which
were not at all necessary to support his
arguments. Among other things he
says that jackson has been more nu.
merously mentioned than any other
place" and although, in his opinion, at
is implicitly prohibited by the charter"
he goes on to demonstrate that there is
no town in the State that is not ''free
from annual epidemics" He concludes
that section 10 is meaningless, lame and
bungling, but that .:if IL has meaning at
all, it must refer to VicI.sburg and Jack
son, and some of these little towns"
We were not aware that Jackson has
been more numerously mentioned"
than other places. Certainly the local
press has not worried the public on the
subject. There has been no expression
of any public meeting of citizens, except
the appointment of a committee to can
vas for subscriptions. The fifty or more
columns of arguments on the question
of location that have appeared in this
journal, have been in favor of other
places. We have copied some kind
things that were said by members of the
press, after their visit here in May,
and who saw and appreciated the adj
yantages Of locating the College at or
near the State Capital. But, as we
have before said, the matter of location
is not to be determined by newspaper
arguments, or by comparing the advan-
tages of one place with another, but by
the trustees, who viii impartially con-
strue the law, Cooking to the conven-
fence Of the people Of every section of
the State, ). and who will t'locate the Col
lege at the place where most advantages
are offered" TIE CLARION has main
tanned that the establishment Of this
College is one of the necessities of the
times, and whether it be located at Jack
son, Vicksburg, Brandon, WessOn,
HazIehurst, Crystal Springs, Raymond,
Kosciusko, Columbus, or else
where, it viii be sufficiently convenient
for all who win want to avail themselves
Of its benefits. The CLARION, and the
people of Jackson, are ready to abide
the conclusion Of the trustees, whatever
It may be.

Ch.ndler's Reply.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Is, lss4.-To
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, indianapolis,
Ind: SrR-A candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent should speak with decent fairness. In
your speech at indianapolis last Saturday
night YOU made statements from which you
meant that the public should believe that
it appeared by nay testimony that the frauds
in the Bureau Of Medicine and Surgery In
this department amounted during the past
wear to sos. 900; that was informed OF some
of these outrages year ago; that after
was informed Of the frauds disbelieved
them, because members of Congress had re-
commended q continuance OF the Chief OF
the Bureau, and that took no adequate
action concerning them, whereupon you
demanded the election of President who
would appoint a Chief of Bureau who
would investigate the condition of the books
and bring all the guilty parties to trial.
To the contrary Of all this, testified that
the suspected vouchers commenced as far
back as June 81, 1880, although small
voucher was paid as late af January 20,
1884; that while an anonymous letter OF
about a year ago charged drunkenness
upon Chief Clerk Daniel Corrigan, which
the Chief of the Bureau, pr. Philip y.
Wales. reported to me as not true, 1 had
no information leading to frauds until
December or January last; that determin-
ed simultaneously with the beginning of
the investigation to have new Chief oil
Bureau in place OF DIR. Wales, whose term
was to expire January %, and also a new
chief clerk; that great opposition to the
change was made by members OF Congress,
but persisted and DIR. Wales went out on
that date and Corrigan was put out Feb
ruary A, and that an investigation Of the
frauds and the arrest OF guilty parties have
since proceeded with due diligence. II is
true that stated recommendations for the
reappointment of DR.. Wales, whom found
in Office when 1 went in, April IL, 1882,
we're of such character as 10 fully justify
me in believing that the affairs Of his
Bureau had been well administered.
ISecretary Chandler here gives the'names
of large number of Senators and Repre-
sentatives who''recommended the reappoint-
ment Of Wales, and continues:
Senator Mcpherson and Speaker Car
Isle, and others of the most prominent Of
those gentlemen who demanded DIR. Wales
reappointment, were with you in the. Con-
ventiOn at Chicago and could have inform
ed you that he had borne good reputa-
tiony that the Law repaired that che ChiSf
of Bureau should be a naval surgeon and
placed medical expenditures in his hands;
that his was in no sense political office,
but that if he had any politics he was a
Democrat, and that any attempt to make
political capital out of frauds for which
this naval surgeon, who is their intimate
friend, is solely responsible, wouldAbe dis
ingenious and unfair. That they did not
succeed in keeping DIR. Wales and his chief
clerk, Corrigan, in Office is very fortunate.
Very respectfully,
