CAPT. JOHN WISE has been talking again.
He now says, "Gen. Malone has the back
ing of all classes of the republican party,
and ia more confident of success now than
ever. In the history of all political parties
no similar instance to that offered by Gen.
Malone can be found, in which the most
ultra and prcscrptive member OF one Of
two parties suddenly joins the other, at
once assumes entire and absolute control Of
it, and rules it with rod of iron, and, still
more remarkable, receives the willing and
abject submission of every one of its mem
bers. That is, of course, if what Capt Wise
says be true. fit be, it goes far to sustain
the Captains previous remark about the
Virginia republicans-that they "are apos-
tates for the price of their apostacy."

The cars were thrown from the track

Self Made Men.

Fred Douglas was honored with a
large and appreciative audience on
Monday evening. The preface to
the lecture was lengthy disquisit-
ion on nun This included a large
slice of the discourse. Work wss

would be more appropriate title for
it, than self made men. but probably
not so taking as the latter. Self

which simple work has not. Work
in irselt is not q favorite with the
human race.
Work, work was the central point
of the discourse. All self made men
so-called are the result of work work
unremitting labor in one direction ;
a constant struggle toward II well de-

possess the natural wisdum or Judge.
ment to seize the strategic points Of
the situation as they arise aud work
from the vantage ground they give

and despair, the self made man push

The weight of years has stolen the

was replete with good advice to the

The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1886-12-29

THE Congressional Record contains the
following explanation by Maj. Banks
dale of the contents of the bill to pro-
vide for the settlement of an account
with the Vicksburg and Meridian Rail-
road Company for internal-revenue tax,
which passed the House December II:
The facts of the case are as follows:
The tax authorized to be refunded bv
the Secretary of the Treasury, in the
event he shall find it has been uniustly
exacted from the company, was tax l.
legally levied under the act of June 80,
1864. According to judicial interpreta-
ticn, and L have that in my hand as set
forth in the report of the committee. it
was the intent of the law to levy the
tax in the event that profits were de-
rived by the railroad company from its
business operations.
Where there was net profit on the
business, the tax was to be collected,
but if there was no profit or net earn
ings, then, by the terms of the law, no
tax IVES to be levied.
1t seems, however, that the Internal
Revenue Department construed the law
to require the collection of the tax with
out reference to this condition; and the
head of that Department did collect it,
though it was shown that the road so
far from doing profitable business, was
in fact doing very losing business. In
1877 the Internal Revenue Department |
brought suit against the company for |
saxes which had accrued the preceding |
years; obtained Judgment, and the |
money was paid over. On the trial of |
he case, however, the railroad company
'ffere5 to Offset the judgment obtained |,
against them to the amount of $6,025.-
%, the sum which had been illegally |
collected. The court refused to allow
he offset upon the trial upon the tech
lical ground that it was barred by the
tatute of limitations. The fact is shown
y the report, two reports | may say.
or there have been two favorable re-
orts on this very subject, one to the
.orty-seventh Congress and one to the
'orty-ninth; and precisely the same
lestion was presented in the case of
ne Cumberland Valley Railroad Com
any. There, also, tax was illegally
as in the case of the Vicksburg
nd Meridian Railroad Company, which
as refunded by an act of Congress Feb.
,, 1879.

THERE are two classes of dealers rec.
ognized by the law taxing the sale of
oleemargarine-the retail dealer, who
pays license of $48 year, and can sell
nothing over ten-pound package, and
the wholesale dealers who pays $3.50 a
year, and can sell nothing under ten
pound or original package which bears
revenue stamp. lie person goes into
grocery store or other place where cleo
margarine is sold by retail, the dealer
can only sell less than ten pound pack
age by putting the quantity sold in
wooden or paper package on the bottom
of which is stamped. in addition to the
dealers name and address, the word
"Oleomargarine' in letters not less than
one-quarter of an inch square. The
penalty for violating this law is a fine of
not less than $50 nor more than $500.

Modest But Earnest

The Greenville Times, commenting
upon the resolutions adopted by the
citizens of Edwards, looking to sup
preston of negro emigration from that
vicinity, says:
We doubt not that emigration agents
will appreciate the style with which
the modest but earnest" notice is served
upon them. 1t will doubtless have the
desired effect upon the agents, but
will it stay the tide of negroes,
ebbing into the Delta, their Canaans
In the event that it does not we sup-
gest to the committee that they follow
up the flow of the dark current, which
seems necessary to their happiness. We
would be glad to welcome Messrs.
Champion, Montgomery and Moss to
Washington county. We rather like
their ssstyle."
In sober earnest the hill farmers will
have to adapt themselves 10 new condi-
lions, now being generated by the depar-
Eure of the negroes from among them.
They can no more arrest the movement
than they can change the laws OF CRAWL
alton. Il has been foreseen and fore
old for years, that with the solution Of /
ne leree problem, the mass Of the /
legroes would leave the hills. m the |
bottom lands there i room for all.

Why?

There seems to be prospect that ar
interstate commerce bill may be agreed
on and passed. 1t will be compromise
measure, and will prohibit pooling I'M
der any circumstances. If the country
is to have railroad supervision in any
shape, it is lar better that it should be
by national than by State authority
Natches Democrat.
Why? Since the courts hold that the
United States have no jurisdiction over
commerce within the States, it would
seem that to make regulation by ma
tional authority entirely effective, it
should be supplemented by regulation
by State authority. This cry of prefer
ence for regulation by the United States
was first uttered by those who didn't
want any regulation at all. We are
to hear the Democrat joining
in the chorus.
