American Machine Politics.

The Times of London looks upon the
defeat of Gladstone's Irish measure as
"strong testimony in favor of the en-
couraging belief that Englishmen and
Scotchmen are not yet ready to submit
themselves to the dwelling influence of
the machine politics of America" But,
after all, it may be that they have not
yet learned to profit by the example of
America.
1t is only little more than twenty
years since there was a rebellion in this
country. At its close no rebels were
hanged, no leaders were imprisoned, no
conspirators were banished. A few were
disfranchised for a short time, but all
their political disabilities were soon
swept away, if not by the dwelling in
fuences of machine politics." at least by
the nations right hand of fellowship,
which raised the fallen rebels once more
to the dignity of citizens of the United
States, in the full enjoyment of home
rule and of all their former rights and
privileges.
And now the people of the South are
loyal and contented. There is no clamor-
ing for justice to any one State in this
Union. The conscience of the Federal
Government, free from guilt, is without
fear, and consequently the right of the
people of The South to bear arms is not
interfered with We have no coercion
there now and no threats of any in the
future, no laws for the imprisonment of
suspects, no infringement of the right of
domicile, no seizing and gagging of the
press, no force of forty thousand Federal
soldiers to overawe and insult an I'M
armed people or to gain military glory
by driving old women and little chill
dren from their homes, no "loyalists"
bowling for rifles to shoot down the
supporters of the Legislature in their
own State, no citizens who are Obliged
to live upon the charity of the people of
England, no landlords who fix their
rentals according to the wages of their
tenants sons and daughters over in that
country, and no indictments of the
Federal Government by the people of |
any State, or by the press of any conn
try, for the skilful or criminal manufac-
ture of famiues from potato Llights.
What blessing it would be to the |
United Kingdom if American machine |
politics could be permanently established

COLONEL PoWER, of THE CLAafoS,
in sweeping condemnation of the print
ing material in the Industrial School for
Girls, at Columbus, Mississippi, has
done cruel injustice to the gentleman
who sold that material to the College
a gentleman of whom we know, and
whom all his neighbors know, that ne
fills to perfect measure the highest stan
dard of the highest type of man-that
of a CHRISTIAN gentleman. The press
so ruthlessly condemned is "Unlver-
sal." acknowledged as good by all print
ers, and preferred by many as the best
of the various job presses that claim
public favor. 1t is used by some type
foundries for printing their specimen
sheets, which are intended as models OF
beauty and perfection. If it does not
do perfect work, it is not the fault OF
the press. As 10 the job type, tastes
differ. We suppose that the gentleman
who selected it has as good an opinion
of his judgment as Colonel Power hes OF
his. The whole outfit was sold to the
College at much less than its cost, and
was considered sufficient for its needs at
the time. We make these statements
merely to vindicate friend, who feels
keenly the insinuation that he betrayed
the College into the purchase of mate
rial that is not as it was represented.
ClarkSdaEe Banner.
in the comments of the proprietor OF
THE CLARION on the College printing
office, it was certainly not his design or
wish to reflect ON anybody-certainly
not on the gentleman referred to by the
Banner, for we have long known and
esteemed him for all that h claimed in
the foregoing. We Yrote under a feel
ing of disappointment that the off ;e
was not suitably equipped for the pur-
pose for which it was designed. The
press referred to was not being used
when we visited the office, and we were
informed by the lady in charge that il
could not be; and up to the date of the
visit of the Press Association the young
ladies had no means of taking a proof
of the matter set by them. In our yea

the College, we may have been toe
sweeping" in our structures as to il:
defects, but We disclaim any purpose tt
question the perfect honesty OF those
from whom the material was purchased

Emphatically a Happy Family
xington Bulletin. I

oullcilh
The grandest combination that has vet
been on the Aberdeen and Durant Divis-
ion of the /. c. Road, passed over that line
the 2lst ult. Members of the Episcopal
Council, eminent divines and distinguished
laymen, in company with one of the
Bishops, ladies and gentlemen of the Mis-
sissippi Press Association, with President
S. b. Brown, Ex-President J. W Lambert
and historian j. l.. Power and the advance
agent of John Robinson's Circus, and his
attendant were all there to form what is
| known in show parlance as "happy fam
ily." Soon after after leaving Starkville
an invitation was given for assemblage
in the "Show Car" to hear some music and
we repaired to the elegantly fitted up pri-
vate car of the Snowman, while the ladies
of the press played the accomplishments on
an elegant piano, Bishop Thompson and
some other ministers and lay delegates of
the Council, male and female members of
the Press Association, and the agent afore-
said, united their voices in singing "Nearer,
My God to Thee" and other hymns Of
praise.
After several songs had been beautifully
| and fervently rendered the press gang
called on the Bishop for speech. Our
editor was too far off, and the rattle of the
running train was too great to admit of
our hearing what he said but the good
humor that expressed on his countenance,
aad III" hearty applause OF those near him,
attested the fact that good things were
being given out. Ex-Chief Justice OF the
Supreme Court Simrall then raised his
venerable head, responsive to enthusiastic
calls and showed that he was in good
humor with these around him, while they
attested their appreciation of him.
1t was suggested that the 'Grey Eagle
OF the Valley" was in the forward car,
and Clarion voice soon whispered the
news that he must go in the rear. APP
parently oblivious of what had been going
on, Power that he could not resist led
him ''like a lamb to the slaughter and
Col. Percy had to speak. The exercises
being closed by Rev. DeHarte who recited
parody which ran thus:
81 want to be an editor,
And with the editors stand,
A plug hat on my Uranium,
A pen within my hand" &c.
This was one of the most pleasant gath
people, the press gang, and the Snowman, |
for nonce at least, considered truly and |
emphatically "happy family"
Col. Percy's speech, after taking in the |
situation, was about this:
