EDITOR CLARION: l well reeollect,
seemingly only short time back, while
stopping with a farmer friend, how /
was impressed with delicate, pale-faced
bow. whose father had liberated to climb
the hill of science. I was forced I'M
consciously to think Of the mill-boy of
the Slashes, of Blackstone at the forge,
and wonder if this boy could succeed.
The next time ! heard of him he was
working on the streets of West Point,
Mississippi, an Agricultural School be-
ing in that place. Next heard of him
in a Collegiate school in Texas; and
then again, in reading catalogue of
the Slate Springs Academy, found this
same boy at the head Of this school.
Not long after this We find him at the
head of tie bar. at WalthalE; some said
he was q I.amb, some said he was a Lyon,
but all agreed that he was the Eagle of
this country-that Hmoleon was here

An Incident of the Seige of Jackson
who were the Ladies Robbed2
Aug. %. 1884.

--, Aug. Y, 1854.
Chief of Police, Jackson, Miss;
DEAR SIR-This morning / listened to
a strange story by a merchant of our eoun-
ty, an upright, honest man, and an ex-
Union soldier,--it was this: That in
May, 1868, Immediately after the capture
of Jackson by the Union army, and while
it was being guarded by Sherman, this
merchant then soldier, procured per-
nit to enter the city for the purpose of
buying bacon, and that while buying the
bacon in a store, he heard some distur-
bance and pounding in an adjoining build
ing, a large house or mansion. After pro-
curing his bacon he went to the house to
ascertain the cause of the disturbance he
found it occupied by several ladies, who
requested him to see what one of his COM
rades was doing. He stepped into the
house and found one of the privates of
his company with a mall, chisel or bar, in
the act of bursting open a safe, which the
ladies stated contained a large amount of
private treasure. The burglar threatened
to blow the soldiers head off if he ever
mentioned a word about the affair, and
ordered him to leave, and he, at the time
being unarmed, went. One reason why
think there may be some truth in the
story is, that the private who he reports as
having robbed the ladies, went into the
army a poor man and came out of it very
wealthy man. Both parties reside in this
county; both are friends of mine, or at
least have been so, and the only motive ]
have in addressing you is that if there was
such wrong committed it may be righted.
II YOU wish to investigate and find the
parties who suffered by the robbery, ]
think you or they could recover, because
the man is very wealthy, and the merchant
says he will swear in any court that his
statements are true; and II the ladies
could be found to verify this story, it would
be straight case. Won are at liberty to
use this as you may see fit, but please with
hold my name. Yours, ~.

If necessary from any cause pending the

in which event, the box must be securely
closed and locked, SO as to prevent the adj
mission of anything into it during the
time of adjournment, and must be kept by
one of the inspectors and the key by another.
The inspector having the box must care
fully keep.it, and neither unleckor open it

any person to have access to it, during the
time of adjournment.
The Supervisors of Election are entitled
to be present and witness all the proceed
ings Of the officers holding the election,
that is to say, the Inspectors, and every
convenience possible should be offered them
tor that purpose.
When the returns have been made by
the Inspectors, their functions and those of
the Supervisors of Election, so far as the
election is concerned, terminate, and
what then remains to be done is to be
done by the Commissioners of Election
alone.
The duties to be performed by the
officers holding the election are so clearly
indicated by the statutes, that it is not
perceived how they can find any difficulty
in knowing what they are required to do.
And inasmuch as by the Act of Congress,
the Supervisors have no authority except
to be present and witness the election pro-
ceedings,I do not see how any conflict can
arise between them and the officers OF the
State. Sc far from being antagonistic,
they should cooperate with each other in
enforcing the law of the State, and securing
a free and fair election. -.
In reply toyour question as to whether
persons registered elsewhere than at the
Courthouse are validly registered, and en-
titled to vote, l have to say that in my
opinion their right to vote is too clear to
admit of discussion.
Having taken and subscribed the oath
administered by the proper officers, they
have complied with all the requirements
both of the law and Constitution. and are
entitled to vote. This is aside from any
consideration OF the propriety OF the con-
duct of the Clerks, who may have taken
the registration books from their Offices
