How rapid progress the women of the
South are making in the matter of educa-
ton is well shown in the University oil
Mississippi. 1t was but a few years ago
that this university was thrown open to
girls; but in that time they have forced
themselves to the front, and this year they
won all the prizea. A young lady takes the
first honors, and win consequently be the
valedictorian. The senior class viii be

at the University this session, several Of
whom are taking the full course pre-
scribed for graduation. It is now an

Wait for the Facts.

Some publications have appeared in
the Meridian Mercury and the CONNER
ciat-Heratd rejecting upon the integrity
of at least one Of the members of the
late law firm of EVANS x JOHNSTON,
composed of Gro. \. EVANS and Tony
w. JOHNSTON, Of Columbus. A friend
of Mr.. EVANS has furnished US with a
copy of the Columbus Dispatch of the
9Th inst, in which appears complete
exoneration of Mr.. EVANS over the sig
nature of one LEWIS GREEN, JR., the
man who, when he ran away from Col
umbus 20 avoid prosecution for fraudu-
lent transactions, was supposed to have
left his affairs in the hands of Messrs.
EVANS & JOHNSTON.
In the same issue of the Dispatch APP
pears letter to the Commercial Herald
written by Mr.. JOHNSTON denouncing
its Meridian correspondent quite liberal
ly, aud calling for his name.
DIR. EVANS and Mr.. JOHNSTON are
too well and favorably known to be in
jured by the mere assertions of an I'M
known newspaper correspondent; and so
far as we are concerned we prefer to
wait till the facts of the case have been
fully developed before forming an opin-
ion inconsistent with their reputation
as honest men and worthy representa-
tives of the legal profession.

EDITOR CLARION: As so many per

in relation to the selection of candi-
dates BY the Democratic Convention for
State officers, to meet in jackson, Aug.

word for that true, tried and incorrHp-
tible Democrat and estimable gentle
man, Gen. J. 4. Smith, candidate for
denomination before the Convention for
State Superintendent of Public Eduea-
ton.
Whilst | do not desire or intend to
disparage the claims of other intelli-
gent gentlemen seeking the position, |
assert, with all due Difference tn them,
that no man will go before that Con-
vention better able and better qualified,
possessing more requisites, or more de-
serving TO fill The position of Superin-
tendent of Public Education than Gen.
Smith. who is familiar with all its du-
ties and details, and who has the pecu-
liar energy, the tact and enterprise to
carry to 4 successful termination every
thing connected with the Public School
system that is calculated to awaken and
encourage an interest in it, displayed
by his mastery, intelligent and honest
administration of Public School affairs,
a high order of ability and a thorough
knowledge of the intricate and respon-
sibe duties. Always at his post, ever
ready to perform his official obligations,
he assuredly deserves at the hands of
the Convention denomination. Boil
var county, as we'll as the entire River
District, viii gladly give him its sup
port, knowing he was true and gal
liant soldier; that he resigned his COM
mission in the United States army for
one in the Confederate army, and that
he bears honorable wounds seriously In
capacitating him for active life, and en-
fitting him To the solid support of the
party he has SO faithfully and efficiently
served and to the Office he has so sue
cessfully and signally filed with credit
to himself, and with honor to the party
which elected him, and to the entire
satisfaction of his friends and the pub

Ara meeting of the County Democra-
cy of New York held on the evening of
the 8th the following resolutions were
adopted:
The conduct Of public affairs since his
inauguration has been in marked contrast
with the violent craftsmanship which for so
many years characterized the Republican
administrations. His fearless and honest
consistency, his varied experience in the
administration of public affairs, his accep-
lance OF and devotion to the principles OF
rue Democracy afford sure guarantees
that his administration will bring to the
nation the inestimable benefits OF intelli-
gent and honest government and will
reflect honor on the party that elected him
to office.
We tender to Grover Cleveland at all
times assurance of Jealous and cordial sup
port.
Res0Ired, That in our Judgment, subject
to the provisions OF existing laws all pub
lie Offices now vacant, and such as may
become vacant, should be filled by the
appointment Of such Democrats as may
commend themselves to the appointing
power by capacity, integrity, the rec rd
of their services and of their faithful adher

EDITOR CLARION: 1t is not often that

the name Of hon. Hampton NJ. Sulli-

ever might be for the interest of his
people and State. He is gentleman of
the highest moral, social and religious
standing, and is a lawyer of acknowl
edged ability and brilliant attainments.

The Administration and the Civil
Service.

\. Y. Herald
To the completion Of he necessary
work Of reforming the federal civil ser
vice it seems TO Us clear that change
Of parties was necessary. The Repub-
licans 50 long in power naturally ap-
pointed only Republicans. and that
gave partisan complexion 70 the
service, which those who called for it,
reform believe it ought not to have, and
which undoubtedly made is use Is q
partisan instrument easy. The Demo
cratic Administration now IN power
will naturally appoint Democrats. As
the President is bound by his and The
party's pledges not to remove competent
and faithful officers, the practical result
will be what the civil service reformers
rightly desire-a non-partisan service.
1t has been reported Of late that
extensive, removals are in contemplation,
and this raises the question, interes ting
10 all friends Of reform, on what theory
these removals will be make. We are
confident, from a careful study Of the
President. various utterances on this
matter, that they will be made for
reasons entirely satisfactory to the
friends of a reformed Civil Service; that
they will be a rightful and necessary
purging Of he service of men who ought
not to be there.
First We think no reformel
will complain if the President shall
remove all officials who In the last
campaign and since the adoption Of the
civil service law gave money for party
purposes, or became the instruments fol
collecting or discussing party contribu
tions, or who left their official duties
whether or not Oh the preteXt Of yaca
ton or not, to engage 10 partisan work
l-peechmaking, attending conventions
bossiug caucuses, or what not. Mel
who thus gave part Of their salarie
drawn from the Treasury. or the info
ence Of their places to partisan wor
] ought to be removed.
OF course the country will expect til
= President to warn those whom he put
into the places thus vacated that the
q also must carefully abstain from sue
;, partisan work, and we have no doub
. that he will do this.
Secoad-We imagine he will make
great many removals from Offices in tn
- Southern States. He ought to. Th
federal ofice-holders in those state
a., are, almost as a body, implicated in tn
odious carpet-bag misrRle. They hav
i been selected almost entirely since Ii

If Office in those States, they ought not
g be removed but in our belief not a larj
. number Of such will be found. II
a others ought to be removed.
10 But III these cases also the COUNT
will expect the President to warn tho

The building of the railroad from

The Governor has committed the sen
tence Of DIR. r. G. Penn, convicted of
the murder of RAILS, to Imprisonment
in the Penitentiary for life. The follow
ing, taken from jackson special to the
Times Democrat, furnishes satisfactory,
explanation of the Governors interposi-
ton:
The communication was based upon pc
tition embracing the bar and county Off
GERS of Copiah, together with large num-
Der OF citizens, among whom are many OF
the most prominent men of the county.
II is said that the jury that tried the case
was remarkable for intelligence and integ
rity, and it is believed that their state
ments since the conviction had much
weight in influencing the Governors ac-
ton. They were not charged by the court
that ii was their province TO fix the penal
ty to Imprisonment for. life, if they saw
proper, and this charge was not asked for
sither by the district attorney or counsel
Tor the defense, and upon this point eight
OF the jury say 10 the Governor by petit
ton:
We, the undersigned jVrymen, who sal upon the
trial OF k 6f. Penn, who was convicted of murder
at the April term of the Copilh Circuit Court 1851
and upon whom the death penalty pronounced,
would respectfully represent TO your ESeeiiency
that while eoncuTred in the opinion OF the de
fendent's guilt, il not our purpose 10 render
verdict which should be followed by the dsath
penalty. but thought that imprisonment for life
would he sufficient and adequate punishment.
With the view of eeeting this object we added 10
our verdict the plea OF mercy, thin King that upon
that plea the court would TX the punishment 10
Imprisonment in the pententiary Tor life. In con-
sideration of the premises respectfully petition
you 70 commute the death sentence 10 imprison-
ment for life
These petitions, taken in connection
with numerous other forcible appeals from
citizens Of every vocation in life, showing
almost unanimous public sentiment in
favor Of Communication, are the basis of the
Governors action
