\ GOOD crop and fruit year is expect
ed. Seldom have we witnessed such
continued cold weather throughout
January and February, and up to
March Z. While here at Jackson the
weather has been warm and cloudy for
the past few days, the northern part of
the State, and to the northern lakes, it
has been showing, hailing and freezing
all the week. No planting or gardening
scarcely done in this latitude yet. Plan
tiers and gardeners should be ready for
work when the winter breaks, as the
change will probably be sudden.

Important Information.

Judge Baxter, Z. S. Circuit Judge, il
the opinion against Tennessee Commits
sioners, and in favor of Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company, says: awe
do not by these comments intend to cast
any imputation upon the defendants
There is nothing in this record which in
any degree impugnes either their actions
or motives"
The Judge says: "Other objections to
the constitutional validity of the statute
have been urged in argument which we
think are entitled to great consideration,
but as those already discussed are decis-
i've of the case, we do not deem it neces-
sary." Why not give all the Constitu,
tional objections? The Nashville.World
gives the full text of the opinion, and
says:
eff sustained in their full scope, rail
roads are at liberty to do practically as
they please, so far as the States are con-
cerned."

Jefferson Davis.

The Legislative proceedings of yester
day records one of the most interesting
events that ever took place in the State
Capitol-the formal reception by the
Legislature in Joint Convention of Hon.
Jefferson Davis, ex-President of the Con-
federate States, the most eminent and
beloved citizen of this Commonwealth.
A very large proportion of the immense
audience had never seen or heard him,
and it was to them a privilege intensely
appreciated and that viii ever be re-
membered with pleasure. Mr.. Davis is
the guest of Governor Lowry. He viii

THE Outrage Nillers have hard time
of it. John S. Wise obtained leave to
correct his testimony about where the
colored gentlemen go when visiting him.
He does not change the main facts stated
by him at first He now says Legislators
of the colored persuasion go to his kitch-
en- and he goes 20 his back yard to meet
them. He says while he agrees with
them politically, he could not invite
them to his house socially; he could not
do such a thing in Virginia and main
tain any social standing.

THE Memphis Avalanche thus spe

lHE mcthpulS ANdlduCne thus speaks
The deficiency of lawyers who know
some law is so marked a characteristic
of the Mississippi Legislature that the
Solons should take counsel with Gov.
Lowry who is an able lawyer and capa.
bic Of giving them wholesome advice.
We venture the remark that the Leg
islature of Mississippi has as good
lawyers in it as Gov. Lowry or anybody
else. Does the Avalanche hope by this
slang against the legislature and its
palaver on Governor Lowry to get him
to veto the railroad bill now before him
Gov Lowry was elected on Railroad
Supervision Platform, and he has said
the time has arrived to do the work.
Does the Avalanche think Gov. Lowry
can be seduced from the line Of duty, by
praise or censure, intimidation or per
suasion, free tickets or any of the appii-
ances usually employed to get officials
to desert the people, violate their
pledges, and go over to the tnoaOpolists
We don't have such an opinion here.
We believe that he will do his duty, and
act upon his convictions on all questions
before him.
The extra friends of railroads are
doing more to widen the breach between
powerful monopolies and the people who
support them, than any other class.
The sovereignty Of the States will be
asserted and vindicated in this contest,
and the legitimate rights Of the people
respected

If the Senate of the United States ha:
gone into the riot business, why don't il
hurry on to Hot Springs and quell the
riots and murders of the hymns, and
drive away the gamblers? The Govern
ment gained the Hot Springs property
through the courts, and if it is going to
take coguizance of riots, routs and I'M
lawful assemblies, Hot Springs is the
place, because people come there from all
the States and some from foreign coun-
tries, and they ought to be protected.

THE establishment of an Industrial
College for Girls may IS 4 matter of
sentiment" as some insist, but II Is a
sentiment that has taken very general
possession of the public mind in Missis
sippi. Tie STATE Grange has repeatedly
urged it, the Governor hes recommended
it, and the Legislature has passed an act
to put it in operation. We believe the
College will prove of great practical
benefit to the class for whom it is in
tended.

Mr.. Rowan on Means of Education

When the bill to raise the poll tax tC
two dollars for educational purposes was
pending, DIR. Rowan delivered brief
and eloquent speech in favor of the pas.
sage of the bill, showing that it would
place the educational interest of the
State on a more permanent foundation,
and that the present license system of
raising revenue for school purposes is
wrong, looking at it from high, moral
standpoint as it connects directly the
means of educating our children with
the crimes of our country.
