The Librarian.

The re lection of Mrs. MARY MoRANcY
to the Office Of Librarian and Keeper of
the Capitol, which she has held since
SIC, was no small compliment, especially
since her competitor, Mrs Lucy A. KIDD,
was lady of the first rank, with a large
and devoted following.
That which turned the scales in Mrs.
hoRANcY's favor, was the fact that from
any point of view she is above criti-
cism, being not only modest, refined.
cultured christian woman, but one of
the best, if not the best, officers the
State has ever had
The remarks of the distinguished gen.
tlemen who advocated her claim before
the Convention of the two Houses, were
Endorsed and approved by the gentlemen
who performed the same friendly service
for her worthy competitor, and we feel
assured that among those who voted
against her, as well as those who voted
for her, the sentiment is unanimous that
the position now held by Mrs. MoRANcy
will never be more worthily filed. In
which sentiment we most heartily Join.

The resolution is to the effect that In

OF paving the United States bonds and
interest on them exclusively in gold
coin was approved or disapproved by

No sooner was this resolution intro

Yozis " w. rie~S " ~ n1jority and
tie minority Of the committee Of the
national house to which was referred
the bin Of senator Ho.R, already
passed the Senate, on the important
question of the Presidential succession
We are not prepared to say'that there
are not well-founded objections to the
bill, but we have no doubt that the part
of wisdom requires that the bill should
be passed promptly in the shape that It
| came from the Senate.
There can be no question that there
are grave doubts as to the constitution
atty of the present law which, in the |
event of the death of the President and /
| Vice President. devolyes the duties OF
President, first, on the President of the |
Senate. and in the event of his death on |
the Speaker of the House. So profound |
lawyer as Senator EvARTs, is of the
opinion that the law is unconstitutional,
and in this opinion the majority of the
House committee concur
But whether it be constitutional or
not, the present political complexion of
the Senate warns US of the danger, that
by the mere accident of death and that,
too, of one person, the Executive De-
; partment of the Government may be
transferred from the political party to
I which it was entrusted so recently, to
= the control of that party which the peo-
pie by their votes have condemned.
L Surely a result so serious in its oonse-
Il quences ought not to depend on so
trifing a contingency.
n 1t is now the common understanding,
whether it was contemplated by the
trainers of the Constitution or not, that
T. an election for President and Vice
es President is intended to settle the ques
r. ton Of political supremacy for foul
A. years. No one believes that this time il
too short. On the contrary, there are
not few who advocate a six year
ID term for these officers. The periodiciI
nd about which Mr.. EvARTs spok'
a. when the HoAR bill was being discuss
.ro in the Senate, may not be a feature o
the Constitution to which as muci
- importance was attached by its Trainer
st as Mr.. EvALTs seems to think; but il
OF the minds of all, this periodicity seem

Gen, John D. Freer, n.

Gen. JNo. d. FREEMAN, 70 many years
prominent in the politics Of this State,
died at his home in Canon City, Colora
do, yesterday. The first news of his
illness preceded by only CIV hours, the
sad tidings of his death.
Gen. FREEMAN came to Mississippi in
The fall of 1885, and settled at Grand
Gulf, and in 1887 was elected District
Attorney. In 1871, when the Judge, D.
o. SHATrUcK was the Wing candidate
for Governor, and the Hon. TILLMAN
TUCKER was the Democratic candi
date, Gen. FREEMAN was the nom
inee of the Democratic party for the
office of Attorney General. That
was the memorable canvass >i4
which the question of the FTee5Su dlation of
the Union -Rsfk bonds, dominated all
otherS, and the Democratic ticket being
committed to reputation, was elected
by an overwhelming majority. Gen.
FREEMAN was re elected Attorney
General in 1916 and therefore filled
two terms of four years each.
In 1851 as the Union Democratic can
didate for Congress from the Capitol
District he defeated the Hon. VIM.
MoWILLIE, afterwards Governor, who
was the candidate of the State Rights
Democrats. He served one term only
in Congress and after that devoted his
time and talents to the practice of the
law.
During the reconstruction period he
was Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee when it vas COM
posed of WILEY P. HARRIS, 7. r. WHAR-
ION, WILLIAM YERGE.., AMOS r.
JOHNSTON, GEO. S. POTTER, d. P.
PORTER and c. Fl. MANsHIP, and con-
Quoted successful canvass against the
constitution which was submitted in
1868.
About four years ago he moved his
residence to Canon City, Colorado, the
place of his death, and was an applicant
with strong endorsements for the posi-
ton of United States Marshal for that
State under the present Administration.
While Attorney-G General and during
his first term, Gen. FREEMAN married
Miss ELIZA ADAMS, the daughter of
Judge GEORGE ADAMS, and a sister of
Generals DAN and WRIT ADAMS. She
was woman of much culture and refine
ment and during the years of their pros
perity, ntedating the disasters of the
war General Freeman's home was the
scene of many delightful social entertain
ments. He was genial and generous by
nature and was never happier than when
surrounded by his friends beneath his
hospitable roof, and he combined with
his generous disposition high order of
physical courage, which made him fear
less in doing the right as he understood
it.
He was devoted Democrat. One of
these men who, during long lie in
success and in defeat, never narbored
thought of abandoning any of the
principles of the party. He glofied in
the very name of Democrats, and
though advanced in years during the
troubulous times following the war was
never surpassed in enthusiasm or zeal
by the youngest mer GERS d t.afe marty.
The CLARION has lost in Gen. FREEr
MAN a life time friend, and extends to
his bereaved family that coincidence and
sympathy which long acquaintance with
his generous and brave nature, and 4
sincere admiration for his noble charae-
teristics prompts.
