The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1885-07-01

No greater wrong was ever inflicted upon
the women OF Mississippi than that put
upon them by the organization of what is
vulgularly named the Estate Female Col
Iege.' The trustees TO govern it and the
teachers to train the pupils are men, the
latter only with, we believe, a few excep-
tons. This is all wrong. The spirit and
purpose that originated this great enter
prise was first conceived by women, and by
the pen of one woman, especially, was
forced upon the attention of the Legisla-
ture, and was at last founded by law
That woman, by her writings and her
efforts, established a claim to the Presi-
dency OF the college that should not have
been ignored. Indeed, all the officers and
teachers should be women, for the same
reason that all the officers and teachers of
Miss Clara Conway's school are women.
possessing, as the success of that school has
proved, every qualification for its manage
ment. The women of Mississippi should
enter upon new crusade and never stop
until those of their number who are
qualified are elected trustees, teachers and
managers of the misnamed Female College
The Memphis appeal is usually so
well informed on Mississippi affairs, we
are surprised to find the foregoing in its
issue of Saturday last The College
trustees met in this city on the 22d ult.,
and completed the organization of the
Faculty, filling the ten Professorships
with ladies, and nearly all of them Mis-
sissippians. A full list of the Faculty
was telegraphed the appeal, and if we re-
member Alright, the same appeared in its
issue of the 25th ult DIR. r. w. JONES,
the President, is the only gentleman in
any way connected with the teaching
force of the College, and his peculiar fit
ness for the position is generally recog-
nized. The gifted lady referred to by the
appeal, may have established claim to
the presidency of the College," but she
had no ambition in that direction. We
have reason to believe that she is very
well satisfied with all that has been done
in reference to the College. Soon after
the passage of the bill the names of
Mrs. PEYToN, Mrs. HASTINGS and others
were mentioned as suitable persons to
be on the board of trustees, but we pre-
fsume that Sec OF Art of the Consti-
tuition was in the way of their appoint
ment. mo person shall be eligible to
any office of trust, etc, VINO is not a
qualified elector." So that until the
ladies become voters they are ineligible
to public Office.

COahOma County-its Choice for Gov
ernOr, Auditor and Treasurer.

EDITOR CLARION: The Democracy of
Coahoma county assembled in convention
yesterday, the 24th inst, to appoint dele
gates TO the State Convention, and the fol-
lowing delegates were, on motion, appoint
ed by the chairman, DIR. J. A. Cooper, viz:
For the County at Large-Geo. i. Nav
nard, J. H. Wynn, DIR. Rufin Coleman.
Beat il. E. Barbee, Fred. Progden beat
John W. Cutrer, Ed. NJ. Yerger; beat
3-Joe Townsend, ]. f. Moore beat 4
g. r. Page, r. \. Harris; beat Wv. P.
West, J. W. Eldvig.
The unit rule was adopted, and under
this rule the four votes of the county will
be east for Robert Lowry for Governor.
and W. L. Hemingway for Treasurer. The
candidacy of no other gentlemen was con-
sidered in the appointment of delegates.
Resolutions endorsing the appointment
OF Gen. Walthall, and the course of Sena-
TOR George were adopted, and these gentle
men will receive the vote of this county in
the Legislature.
1t might be considered strange that Mr.
George K. Page of the Clarksdale Banner.
which Is opposed to Governor Lowry. was
appointed one OF the delegates, but this
appointment was made in Difference to his
high character as gentleman and Demo-
erat, and with the knowledge that under
the unit rule he could do the Governor no
harm IN the Convention. He is besides a
warm friend OF Col. Hemingway. and this
furnished another reason for his selection.
OF course the county is solid for Stone for

An Endorsement not Endorsed.


We give our readers the opportunity
Of contrasting the opinion of the
Educational journal, published at West
Station, in this State, and Mr.. JEFFER-
soy DAVIS, as TO the merits Of 'Scud-
der's School History" We doubt not
that Brother CORR, now that the mat
ter has been brought to his attention,
viii be surprised that he ever said Of this
book, "The author has given Us a clear
account Of the late war without yielding
to party prejudices.'
The great danger in selecting school
histories. especially those which treat of
the civil war, is found in the absence Of
exact information on the points discuss
ed, BY those who are called on to make
the selection. To this may be added,
even where there is entire absence of
prejudice. and desire to be fair exists,
lack Of appreciation by the authors Of the
force and effect Of the language employed
and Of hackneyed or cant phrases such
as "the rebellion" 1t may be that
the author Of "Scudder's School Histo-
ry' was without prejudice and desired
to be fair, but the extracts furnished to
Mr.. DAVIS show that he is treating
Of subjects with which he is not
familiar, or that he Is careless in the
use Of words, or that be is ignorant OF
prejudiced.
Mr.. DAVIS is master Of the subjects
on which he speaks He has now anC
has always had logical, consisten
theory about the reciprocal right
and duties Of the State and Fed
eral Government. 1t may be tina
the National Government was i'll,
founded and that it has been i'm
proved by the changes resulting from
the war; but the ''logic OF events" Is on
thing and the logic Of reason is another
Mr.. DAVIS has ever been the champion
Of the Government as its founders in
tended it should be, and in this cham
piouship he has been the ablest of al
who followed or opposed him; AM
whether we approve or doubt the wisdom
Of the original plan, it is hard for us t
doubt that Mr.. DAVIS has always had
correct conception oft. TosPeak of sue
man as a rebel or of the war whic
| followed secession as a rebellion is
gross misnomer Mr.. DAVIS now a
! then stands for principle. He is loya
to the Government and to the Constitt
ton; but he is devoted to principle
, which is dearer to him than ife-anC
while he obeys the inevitable, his cor
science, which Is true to him, yields nc
to Tie arguments OF force.

Suspension of Salary.

A special to the Times Democrat from
Washington says that the Secretary OF
the Treasury has written to the Collec-
tor of the Port of New Orleans, instruct
ing him that no payment of salary can
be made to Naval Officer KERSocHAN
until his appointment has been confirm
ed by the Senate.
The section of the Revised Statutes
bearing upon this question reads;
SEC. 176l. No money shall be paid
from the treasury as salary to any per
son appointed during the recess of the
Senate to fill vacancy in any exist
ing office, if the vacancy existed while
the Senate was in session, and was by
law required TO be filled BY and with
the advice aud consent of the Senate.
until such appointee has been confirmed
by the Senate.
Since the Senate has already refused
to confirm Mr.. kERNocHAN II is posi-
BILE it may do so again, in which event
he will have served the greater part Of
year, without compensation.

What a Warren County Democrat
Says-Governor Lowry's Admin
istration Endorsed.

EDITOR CLARION: | believe | am cor.
rect when ! say that it is the desire OF
an overwhelming majority of the Demo
Gratis of Warren county, that Governor
Lowry shall be re-nominated. We have
heard the charges preferred against him
and carefully weighed the evidence
relied upon to establish them, and we
have rendered verdict of mot guilty.
without leaving the jury box.
The charge that he has administered
the Government extravagantly needed
no refutation.
The Go ernor of this State has no
access to the funds in the Treasury.
Those funds can only be withdrawn in
pursuance of appropriations made by
the Legislature.
If there has been extravaganza, the
members of that body who voted for the
appropriations are responsible and not
the Governor.
True it is, that the Governor might
have vetoed the bills making these ap-
preparations, but it is also true that he
had no right TO interfere with the will
of the Representatives, who were fresh
from the people and supposed to be
carrying into effect their wishes, unless
it was apparent that they were proceed.
ing so recklessly and inprudently, as
seriously to impair the efficiency of the
Government
To have vetoed any of the appropria-
tons made by the Legislature Of 1884,
would have been to prostitute the power
only granted him by the constitution
for the purpose of preventing the pas
sage of hasty and harmful legislation.
But it has not been shown that the
appropriations made by that Legislature
are extravagant.
Not single act of any consequence
has been named, which can Justly be
called extravagant, and no instance can
be pointed out, wherein it can be main
tanned that the Governor was in default
in not interposing his veto.
The one-term idea is thing invented
for the occasion, wholly unknown to the
constitution OF laws of the State That
it is not the will of the people (who are
the State) that this idea, or principle,
as it is pretentiously designated by those
who seek to thrust it into the canvass,
should prevail, is evidenced by the very
plain fact, that with the power in their
hands to place it absolutely beyond
discussion, by so declaring in their con-
stitution, or laws, or both, they have
not done so.
And we have the further very plain
fact, that no party convention has ever
uttered word upon the subject. Over
here, We are quite content, so long as it
is not proposed to transgress the consti-
tuition, the laws, or any article of party
faith.
We believe that Governor Lowry has
made faithful and efficient chief mag
istrate; we know that his sword has
never fingered in its scabbard, when the
battles of his country or his party were
10 Be- fought; we know that his heart is
- big - his courage il strong; and so
believing and knowing. we shall rally to
his standard, and follow it sreadfaslly
y whether it leads us to vicsery or defeat.

The Prohibition Convention.

This body assemblies today in the
hall Of the House Of Representatives.
The indications are that the attendance
will be quite large, and that most of the
counties will be represented. The ques-
ton of temperance, and of prohibition
in one form or another, is occupying
the attention of more persons than ever
before in this country, In this STATE, its
advocates are no longer counted by the
score, but by the thousands, and there
is already a large portion of the terri
tory Of Mississippi under the operation
Of prohibitory laws, The Convention
we are inclined to the belief, will so
deal with this important subject as to
keep it out of party politics. Indeed, it
is higher than politics. 1t is q question
Of morals and addresses itself to citizens
Of all shades of political opinion. The
Convention will probably demand a
general local option law, so that counties
may determine, by vote, whether liquor
shall or shall not be sold. A PROPOSE
ton of this kind had much strength in
the last Legislature, but its friends were
not agreed as to the details, and its OPP
ponents were not anxious to harmonic

A Congressman's Desperate Effort to
Remove an Offensive" Partisan.

In our last number, we copied an
account of Col. SINGLEToN's resolute, I
but unsuccessful attempt to have an
offensive partisan Postmaster removed
in his district. We have now to record
an exhibition of a more desperate en-
deayor in the same line by Florida
Congressman who was eager to satisfy
the vehement clamor Of his constituents
for change" 1t was the case Of the
Postmaster at Jacksonville, Florida, who
had made himself particularly odious as
an offensive" partisan. The incident
is thus related by the Washington cor
respondent of the Cotrier-JournaI:
The methods Of making effective charges
Of offensive partisanship are not vet in
smooth running order, as the following
stocy Of a scene at the Post-ofice Depart
ment illustrates: Congressman Dougherty,
of Florida has been asking for the removal
Of the Postmaster at Jacksonville On the
charge OF offensive partisanship, the official
in question having lett his office and gone
out through the State making Republican
speeches and assisting iii organizing the
State for the party in the last campaign.
II was purely on this ground that Mr.
DOugherty sought his removal. Having
| preferred these charges some time ago. he
/ visited the Postmaster General the other
| day to ask him if he had decided 10 remove
/ him.
Not yet" he answered. Il haven't de-
cided whether to remove him or not"
"Arn't the charges sufficient to warrant
| it? asked Mr.. Dougherty, a little testify.
| Don't know about that" said the Post
master General. Il can't say that | am
entirely satisfied with them"
We'll" said Dougherty, with a little
Indignation, perhaps you would like to
have me swear to what / have stated"
Don't know but what | would said
Col. Villas
We'll, said Dougherty, not at all taken
aback, "bring in notary public, and l
will swear 10 them. l want you to under
stand that | am not in the habit OF making
statements that | am not willing to stand by
in any manner. | will swear TO them II
you want me to-"
So the notary public was brought in, and
holding up his right hand Dougherty
made oath to the truth Of the statements
contained in his written charges, and the
affidavit and the seal of the notary public
were attached to the paper, which will
now probably cause the removal of the
postmaster in question.
Ten days have passed and there is yet
no report that the official head of the
Jacksonville functionary has been cut
off. No recourse is left to Congressman
DoUGHERTY, but to throw himself on
the mercy of his constituents. He ha:
evidently played his best card; and il
has not ayailed.
