MIssIssIPPPs CONVENTION.
The Public School Question Under
Consideration.

The Public School Question Under
Consideration.
JACKSON, MISS, Sept 25.-The sum ap-
propriated by the legislature to defray the
expenses of the constitutional convention
having become exhausted, economic meas
ures began to manifest themselves early in
the morning session. The main points of
the controversy arising out of the education
question involve considerations of taxation
and revenue. Under the present
law it has been the custom
for cities and towns to establish school dis
tricts separate from remaining portions of
the counties where the same are situated
and supported by local taxation. 1t is now
sought to abolish these separate school dis
tricts and make one fund for each county,
putting city and county schools on the same
footing.
After postponing action on the education
question, the report of the executive COM
mittee was taken up and considered. 1t
changes the existing law by making the fol-
lowing officers ineligible as their own sue
cessors: Governor, state treasurer auditor
of public accounts, sheriff and county
treasurer. The governor shall have power
to convene the legislature in extra session,
but the legislature shall have the power to
consider matters other than those desig-
mated in the call

1t is difficult to imagine the number OF
small animals and birds an ordinary cat
catches during lifetime. Mr.. Almer Heg.
Ter of Wayne township has one of the most
successful cats at this kind of sport that we
know of. Mr. Hegler has kept strict &C
count of the amount of game his cat has
brought to the house between the 18th of
last May and the present time, and thinks
that he did not see more than one-half that
the cat actually caught. The cunning
feline brought in the following game to Mr..
Hegler's certain knowledge: Forty three
rabbits, five quails, five sparrows, one vel.
low-hammer. one flying squirrel, one vel

can beat this record, Mr.. Hegler would like

The Cincinnati Meeting Opened-Pres-
ident Hayes 4 ddrsss.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 25.-The twentieth an
nual convention or the national prison con-
gress held its opening meeting here tonight.
A drizzling rain operated to restrict the
attendance. D. T. Wright of this city,
chairman of the local committee, presided.
The president OF the congress, ex President
Hayes. in his address said:
In talking about questions and subjects that
are naturally to be considered in all these
gatherings we have to consider both the
doctrine and the idea-whaJ our faith is on the
general subject as we'll as the practical facts
which enable us to improve the condition of
prisoners, and the treatment Of prisoners-all
with a view to the benefit of society; not crimi-
nal alone, but all. Our theory about that is
that the sermon on the mount, at least con-
tans the whole story. We are tied together:
we are brothers indeed; we cannot escape our
neighbors. Wherever any stratum of society ia
oppressed, all, sooner or later, will suffer.
Society is so compacted together that the crime
OF any is, in some way, sooner or later,
mischief to all. Its large and liberal ideas
like these that we have been taught by great
men OF the past in their association: Nothing
IS moro true than this. That the ideal com
munity, with reference to crime. with refer
ence to continuation and perpetuity of free in
situations is that community in which every
human feels that with the virtues of economy
hnA OOlupci anSo oho ihuuotIy, ~ IL WkJulu his
power, at least, to own humble
home, to educate his children to
lay by something for wet
day, to prepare for old age, and that community
in which there are large masses of people who
have not that hope, that community is one
where free institutions are not safe, and where
you may predict with the utmost confidence
that crime will continue to increase.
Gen. Hayes then passed to the considera-
ton Of practical questions, in which he
made point against the system of making
our jails and lockups academies of crime by
placing young offenders where they are
subject to the influence of professional
criminals. He spoke strongly in favor
Of severe treatment of the incurably
criminal classes. In closing he suggested
that these topics should be the subject Of
large than they had yet received.
At the close of his address the convention
adjourned until tomorrow morning,

KEEPING IN THE SHADE.
SCHEMES OF THE OPPONENTS OF
GOV. GORDON.

Macune Will Remain in Atlanta a
week-Dr. FELTON, Makes Some Wig
orous Remarks on Alliance Methods.
Some of the Dark Horses From
Whom a Selection May be Made.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept 25.-Dr. Macune
has decided to spend week or more in At
lanta. He is here for the purpose OF assist
ing his alliance subalterns in working up
opposition to Gov. Gordon. Col Living
ston said tonight that only one thing was
settled upon, and that was that Gordon will
be defeated. The friends OF the
governor are tonight denouncing the alli-
ance leaders for bringing such a man as
Macune. whose public record is so unsavory
to villify man like Gov. Gordon, whose
public services have been 50 well performed
and on whose public character there is not
a stain.
DR.. FELTON,, in an interview 10 day with
gentleman from Atlanta, declared that the
fight being made on Gordon by the alliance
leaders was in keeping with the rest OF
their secret doings. They were coming at
him in an underhand manner. he said,
attacking his private business affairs and
saying noting about the grand services ne
has always rendered as public servant
The doctor declared that Gordon should be
judged by the votes he had cast IN pubic
position, and not by any outside issues.
MOVING CUNNINGLY.
Col. Livington and Macune are conduct
ing the fight against Gov. Gordon with
consummate cunning. They have put him
at the disadvantage of knowing that he has
opposition, but of being ignorant OF his OPP
ponents.
Rumor has it tonight that Col.
W. J. Northen's friends have been
approached as TO whether he would
consent TO make the race against Gen Cor
don. The plan is, it seems, to hold Pat
Calhoun, Col Northen. Judge Hines, ex-
Gov. James NJ Smith and Col. Norwood in
readiness to run, and after the legislature
meets Livingston and the other leaders will
find out which one among the number Is
the strongest, and he will be nominated
against Gov. Gordon.
The greatest stress is being laid
by the alIiancemen fighting Gordon
on the fact that this is a business
enterprise, and that Gov. Gordon has |
proved himself very unfortunate in bust |
ness enterprises. The alliancemen will not |
deny that Pat Calhoun Is being groomed |
for the race. |
A great deal of talk is being INDUCED in. |
but Livingston is smiling and Macune |
seems happy.

A BOOKSHELF EXPLODED.
South Carolina Republicans VIII Vote

South Carolina Republicans VIII Vote
for Straig htout Democrats.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept 25.-The Till
man ticket, nominated by the democratic
state convention on Sept. 10, has by no
means been elected as yet. A bombshell
was exploded to-day by the republican state
executive committee, which threatens to
put an entirely different phase on the mat
ter. The committee was authorized by the
state republican convention to put out a
state ticket, if they deemed it advisable. 1t
has transpired that the committee have
agreed upon a ticket the composition of
which leaked out to-day. 1t is as follows:
Governor, A. G. Haskell; lieutenant gov
erpor, John Bratton secretary of state, J.
q. Marshall; treasurer. w. A. Ancrum /;
controller general, t. W. Barnwell; attor-
ney general, j. II. Earle; adjutant general,
M. l.. Bonham; superintendent of educa-
ton, j. II. Rice All the nominees are
straigbtout democrats, who opposed the
Tillman movement, aad most of them op-
posed it on the stump.
CAN BE ELECTED.
The republicans claim that the ticket can
be elected. even without the aid of white
votes. There are 157. 900 colored voters in
the state, against about $4,000 whites. or
the colored voters they say over Tic, 900 are
registered ana QuaHneQ 10 vote Tor state
officers, and they can poll 100,000 of these
for this straightout democratic ticket Be-
sides this. they claim that 20, 900 democratic
voters Will join them in voting for this
ticket as against the Tillman ticket.
Even if there should be no opposition, it
is estimated that Tillman will not be able
to poll more than 80, 600 votes in the entire
state. Since the straightout democrats
abandoned the fight against Tillman the
| discomfort has been growing in the party,
| and the republicans count ON these oppo-
| nents of Tillman to see that there shall be a
| fair count.
TILLMAN LEADERS WORRIED.
The Tillman leaders here are very much
worried about it One of them said to- day
that il Judge Haskell allowed the negroes to
vote for him there would be more negroes
killed In November than were killed in 1876
The republicans say they don't care
| whether the men they nominate decline TO
serve or not, they will vote for them, and
the straightout democrats NAV do as they
| please, All they are expected to do is to
see fair count Of the ballots. The ticket, 10
is thought, can carry the white vote of at
least six or eight counties.
The recent congressional primaries in
which the alliance candidates have been
beaten have done much to stiffen the anti,
Tillman faction of the democracy.
