STATES SENATOR WILLIAM M. GWIN. The Clarion. TUX STATE. Kosciusko has the oldest gin-factory in FUGITIVEMAGR OF VARIED INTEREST CAPTURE THE CAREFUL CONDENSE A Queer Demand-Aberdeen Weekly.

Professor H. T. Moore, County Superintendent of Education for Warren county, recently receivedetwo bills from Mr. W. R.

Spencer, County Superintendent of Lincoln county, one for five and the other for six dollars, against Warren county for pupils taught at Whitworth College (in that county) from Warren county during two months free Public 8choolf. The article printed elsewhere in this issue headed "A Queer Demand," discloses a practice which, in our opinion, is not warranted by the Constitution or laws of this State. i As we understand it, the educable children of Hinds county who may attend Whitworth College are not re ceived on the terms contemplated by the provisions of the Code of 1880 or the amendment thereto in the laws of 1882; but are received as pay pupils under a contract made between the patrons and the authorities of the College and this seems to be the understanding of the County Superintendent of Lincoln county as we gather from bis statement that "the pay certificates are to be turned over to the patrons of the institution." There is no provision of the known to us authorizing pay certificates be "turned over" to the patrons of the "public schools" of this State, or to any other persons except the teachers; nor is there legal warrant for the payment of any portion of the "common school fund" to the teacher of a private school. The Constitution of the State makes it the duty of the Legislature to establish "a uniform system of free public schoola4' The schools must be ree," and the system must be "uniform." In obedience to this Constitutional mandate tie Htiar. The matter- in dispute between Holmes and Yazoo counties, growing out of the nomination of the Hon.

W. D. Gibbs by Yazoo county as the candidate for floater Representative, is in a fair way of settlement. It will be remembered that the Representative for the two counties in the next Legislature is conceded by Holmes to Yazoo, but Holmes desired that he should make 'certain pledges as to his course should an attempt be made to put any portion of Holmes in the Levee District. Atarecentmeetingof the County Committee of Yazoo county, a proposition of compromise submitted by representative Democrats of Holmes county to representative Democrats of Yazoo was considered and a resolution adopted expressing the willingness of Yazoo county to agree to the proposition This should be entirely satisfactory to the Democrats of Holmes county for while it is true that by voting for the Hon.

W. D. Gibbs, they help to elect to the Legislature a gentleman whose views on the Levee question may not be in harmony with their own, and that, pro tanlo the sentiment of Holmes county will not be represented should he be elected, they should bear in mind that the proposed settlement involves important concessions by the Democrats of Yazoo. From the first it has been a "troublesome question, and while the compromise may not be justified on the ground of exact justice, we favor it as the most practicable settlement possible outside of the ballot box, and because a settlement there would involve a contest the tendency of which would be to impair the harmony of the Democratic pa rty. Cur Friends, the Postmaster Editors.

'The editors of some of our esteemed Democratic contemporaries in the country towns have had the felicity of being appointed Postmasters, and many more of them are doubtless looking forward to the enjoyment of that felicity. We hope they will get it, and we are sure they deserve it. These Democratic editors in the small towns have long done faithful service to the party, of ten in the face of great discouragements and with no immediate prospect of reward. They have whacked away at the Republicans year in and year out, and it is right that they should have their share in the benefits of the change for which they have worked so well. The editor of a country paper is often his own publisher and his own printer.

He usually has good business qualities, and is fitted to be an efficient Postmaster. Ho may grow fat and saucy, as other officeholders do, if he is kept too long in office, but otherwise he is all right, and will not neglect his office for his paper, nor his paper for his office. We would heartily congratulate these esteemed contemporaries who are or are sure of being Postmasters, were it not for one solemn thought. They have been boiling-hot partisans these many years when they were out in the cold how high will the thermometer of their partisanship go now they have been taken in and have had their "toes warmed?" They have made themselves very offensive politically to the Republicans in their neighborhood. They do not understand the Mugwump dialect.

They speak right out and pitch right in, and there is no inoffensiveness in them. From writing a red-hot Democratic editorial to running a red-hot Democratic campaign there is no sort of honorable offensive partisanship of which they are not capable. Can they suffer so great a change of heart when they get into their Postoffices a3 to be meek, ineffectual, inactive, neutral, Mugwump- Panama to California and Oregon, a right of transit over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the reduction of postagn on letters from forty cents to six cents, etc. etc When the war between the States was in progress the ex-Senator expressed himself as in sympathy with his fellow-citizens of the South and was therefore arrested and imprisoned by the Federal authorities at Fort Jackson, Louisiana. He was kept in confinement until some time after the re-establishment of peace.

In 1866 he was released by President Johnson, when he at once went to Mexico and joined the fortunes of Maximilian, who was then struggling to establish an imperial throne in the ancient capital of Montezuma. Iu this connection it was reported that Dr. Gwin had been or was to be invested with the dignities and title of Duke of Sonora, but whatever may have been the truth of the matter the fall of the ill-fated Austrian Prince put an end to the scheme. Dr. Gwin subsequently became connected with a Mexican land and mining company, but he finally returned to the United States, where he has lived quietly, advanced in years and broken in fortune.

He died at noon yesterday at a hotel in New York city, away from Ogelal Joarnal of the Bute of Xissiisippi. J. POWER, Proprietor. wnn ORB 50 SEVEN sr atihtPottofx at Jaektcm at Seeond-Oau Mail Mailt. Wednesday.

Rev. R. H. Crozier. of Sard is.

has inst issued a novel the title of which is the "Cave of Hegobar, or The Fiend of '78." fni i I i The story is based upon facts of thrilling interest, ana extends over a period beginning with the late war, and ending with the epidemic of '78. Mrs. Virginia Frantz's beautiful book of beautiful poems is just from the hands of the publishers, and in its completed form even exceeds the high expectations built upon it by her friends. We are prond that such a book comes from a woman, and that woman a Mississippian, Ths -ladies of Raymond have inaugurated a new scheme by which to procure their pocket money. It ia called "Woman's Working Exchange," They have a store presided over by a lady and filled -with fancy and useful articles for sale at reasonable prices.

Thus are the merits of our home girls being recognized. The ladies of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches- at Jackson, made the handsome sum of $500 each by running restaurants curing tne meeting ol the Press Convention.

This bill designates Whitworth College as a free school, which will be news to the patents or guardians of the six young ladies from this county who attended said school last session and paid their board and tuition just the same as if it was a pay school.

Prof. Moore wrote to Mr. Spencer to know by what right he made this demand, when the following an swer was received: Brookhaven, Aug. 27, 1885. County Superintendent of Warren county, lcksburg, Your favor of the loth to hand, asking by what construction of the law I base the claim of Whitworth College, has been received, and in reply will say that Gen.

J. A. Smith has given section 711, and amendment thereto in laws of 1682, page 81, a liberal construction, and rules that it applies to schools and counties throughout the State, and does not restrict its appli cation to contiguous county and line schools. Whitworth College is recognized as a public school by the proper authorities, and annually draws a portion oi tne school funds. The pay certificates are to be turned over to the patrons of the institution, as I understand.

Respectfully, W. R. Spencer, County Superintendent Lincoln Co. Mr. Moore, then referred the matter to the State Superintendent, who replied as follows: Jackson, Aug.

18, 1885. Prof. H. T. Moore, Superintendent Public Education, Vicksburg, Dear Sir Yours of the 15th inclosing pay certificates from Lincoln county is to hand, and in reply I would say that I am of the opinion that the accounts are correct and should be paid.

The enly question in point is: Is Whitworth College a public school The superintendent of the county in which it is located certifies that it is. Under my construction of the law educable children may attend any public school in the State free of charge. Yours very truly, J. A. Smith, State Superintendent.

We reproduce the foregoing from the Vicksburg Herald, for the purpose of show ing the weakness, we almost said iniquity of the statute that allows it. Monroe county pays out each year hundreds of dollars to other counties for the tuition of children who go from the very shadow of Monroe county school houses, because they don't like the teacher, or desire an "off-from-home polish," entailing additional expense and serving to break down home schools. The statute is all wrong no child should have tuition paid who attends school outside home county limits unless attending absolute line schools, that is schools situated not further than a half mile from county line. Indeed, the next Legislature should doctor the piesent school law into some explicit and practical shape, also reduce the curricu lum to the strict primary studies, and fix the age. of beneficiaries at from eight to eighteen years.

Notes From TJtica. There closed during this week, having lasted over two, one of the most interesting and successful revivals ever held in this section of the country. It was begun and concluded by our esteemed young pastor, Rev. R. H.

Cooper, assisted a few days by itev. H. oproles. There were forty-four accessions to the church (Baptist) and the good seed sown will bring forth still more fruit in the near future. No undue excitement prevailed, but there arose a great wave of feeling that steadily worked its way into the hearts of all the people, bringing with the new converts many of those once alienated, back into the sheltering folds of the church.

After that fearful accident at Bayou Pierre, a gentleman going out to view the wreck of the bridge and train, was so impressed at the sight and thought of the soul's being suddenly hurled to its future destination with no time for previous preparation, became converted And happily embraced religion. One of the saloon-keepers of the town manifested much interest in the religious workings, and raised the hopes of his many friends that he way relinquish his distasteful occupation, and become a good member of the church. The ladies of the W. C. T.

laboring so earnestly to accomplish the duty and aim of their calling, hope ere long to see the town from under the subjugation of the liquor evil, and will spare no effort to accomplish all possible good. Kitty Waggoner. Arra ngements are made for the greatest discharge of dynamite that has ever taken place the explosion of pounds" of the dreaded mixture. This large amount of dynamite is now being stored away in the drill holes under Flood Rock, in the East river, opposite New York. There are four miles of tunneling under the island, and in the walls and columns supporting the bed of the stream and the island nearly fourteen thousand three-inch holes have been drilled to a depth of nine feet.

These are being packed with dynamite, and some day in September all of them will be simultaneously exploded by the touch of an electric button. The previous explosion of dynamite at Hell Gate required 50,000 pounds, and was by comparison a small affair. In exca vating the tunnels 80,000 cubic yards of rock were removed, and the explosion is expected to dislodge 175,000 cubic yards more. The present work is carried on at great risk. The accidental discharge of one of the cartridges now being placed in position would produce a concussion exploding all the others, and might involve great loss to the Government, as well as sacrificing the lives of all en gaged in the work.

Nearly a million dollars have been spent in this work, and two millions in excavations of Hell Gate channel since 1850. Neshoba County.

XIV Hwin wnn native of Tennessee, born in Sumner county, Oct. 9, 1805, and was at the time or his aeain within a month of 80 years of age. He graduated at Transylvania University, at Lexington, and studied medicine, taking his degree and adopting the profession. He then removed to Mississippi, where he was appointed united oiaies Marshal. In 1841 he was elected to Congress from.Mississippi, serving two terms.

Being appointed United States Commissioner to superintend the erection of the New Orleans Custom-house, he removed to this city, where he remained for several years. The discoverv of gold in California soon after the Mexican war drew many adventurous spirits to the new Eldorado, and among them was Dr. Gwin, whose talents for politics and public affairs soon brought him into prominent notice, and he turned up as a member of the convention which framed the State Constitution for California. The first State Legislature of the Golden State elected him as United States Senator. That was in 1850.

At the expiration of his term of six years he was re-elected and served to 1861. During his term of service in the Senate he was Chairman of the Committee on Pacific Railroads, and a member of the Committee on Finance and on Post Offices and Post Roads. By his indefatigable efforts, California obtained a mint, a marine hospital, a floating dock, a minute coast survey of near 2000 miles, light houses, a navy yard, numerous Indian Agencies, the introduction of the United States Circuit Court system, regular mails from Mississippi Industrial Institute and College. Columbus Index. The counties are sending in their reports and are generally filling the places allowed them in the apportion ments.

Many counties are asking- eagerly for the privilege of sending more than their appointed quota. Lee has appointed twelve Copiah, Mrs. Peyton's county, has appointed twelve, and asks for the privilege of sending three others. The enthusiasm for the College is increasing daily. Taking the counties that have reported up to date and calculating a like representation from the other counties we find that the number of pupils will be about 370, without allowing any extra number to Lowndes; if we add the number that Lowndes will send, the success will simply be glorious.

The people of Mississippi are profoundly interested in the progress of this gieat Educational enterprise; as it takes shape and proportion, not only in its buildings, but also in its broad scope, in its liberal scheme of studies, in its multitude of industrial branches of pursuit, in its I wisely adjusted appointments, in its adjusted appointments, I adaption to the daughters of our peo I 1 1. pie, admiration grows in every liberal mind and the desire becomes stronger in rich and poor to avail themselves of its great, its incalculable advantages. It brings industrial, practical, elegant edu cation within reach of struggling, aspir ing young; women; and to them this is a boon of priceless value. In Uommercial Colleges the usual charge for instruction in a three month business course is fifty dollars; board and all individual expenses are additional in this College a young woman can take the course of instruction in book-keening and general business without charge, while she will be able to board in the College about as cheap as she could live at home. A widow lady twenty-six years old who hitherto never had the means to com plete her education, and who has been teaching elementary schools for eight years at a small salary now finds the way open for her to acquire a thorough collegiate and Normal Education, that she may nil a position in the highest walks of the Teachers' profes sion.

Is this institution not a blessing to her? Verily, ia it not a school for the poor and the rich Does it not bring a superior education nearer to poor girls than it ever was before? It will prove a charming, comfortable home for the girls of Mississippi, a nursery ot tne highest culture and refinement. Every inducement and incentive will do ottered to tnorougn study and Mrs. Peyton, with her characteristic nobleness and generosity offers "A Mis sissippi Womansl" medal in the Normal Department. Goyernor Robert Lowry -is- 1 oners a meuai in tne xsomestic Arts ana Sciences, and the President offers prize in the industrial studies. No doubt other liberal minded men and women will follow these examples.

Should a Printing Department be established, as is contemplated, the pro prietor of The Clarion will provide a suitable prize for the young lady making greatest proficiency in the "art preserva tive."

This system nowhere recognizes the right of private schools under any circumstances to receive any portion of the fund provided for the support of the "free public schools." "Cities and towns, districts or private parties may give teachers of "free schools" additional compensation (Code of 1880 721); but it is plain that the teachers of public or private schools.not "free," cannot legally receive any portion of the "Common School Fund." Although under 711 of the Code and the amendment of 1882 (Acts p. 81) "pupils from different counties or school districts may attend the same school," we do not believe that it was the inten tion of the Legislature by adopting such a provision to do more than authorize the children of contiguous districts or counties to attend the satae school. This is manifest to us from the general provisions regulating the system, though it may be that the construction of General is the proper one. If it is there should be a change in the law. The free public schools of this State do not give satisfaction, and members of the next Legislature who desire to do the State a great service should familiar ize themselves with the system audits oractical workings, before the Legisla ture meets, and should come to the Capital intent on making such changes in the law or in the manner of its execu tion as a wise regard for the interests of popular education iu.

Mississippi may require. The Party Name. The Herald inteuda to bolt not the ticket, but the name. All over the State we read in our exchanges "Democratic- Conservative." "Democratic" is all right, the Herald intends to dispense with Conservative. If there were two Democratic partieSj one of them radical, we might put up a aiBimguismng name, dui jjemocracy pure and simple and unadulterated will serve.

We will support all the nominees but we are tired of the name. What does it mean anyhow? Yazoo Herald. It means a reply to a charge of radicalism which has no business in a party name. By no such means was character ever defended or reputation given to a party and the adoption of it is an unwar rantable confession of weakness. It was stupidity to put it in and it is time to abolish it.

We concur. Strike it out, Mr. Foreman. liouy Springs south. It dosen't make much difference with us what the party is called, as we are more wedded to its principles than to its name.

For the same reason, we "have no lault to hnd with such of our contemporaries as choose to drop the word "Conservative. The preamble to the Platform adopt ed by the Convention held in this city on the 3d day of August, 1875, opens with the following words: The Democratic and Conservative people of the State of Mississippi in Convention assembled, The Committee on Platform was com posed of the following gentlemen Messrs. J. W. C.

Watsos, W. P. Har ris, W. H. McCardle, W.H.H.Tison, J.

M. Stone, H. H. Chalmers, Kin- loch Falconer, W. F.

Frantz, W. T. MiRira and Benj. King. The report of the committee was read by Maj.

H. H. Chalmers. The record then proceeds as follows On motion of Mr. Lamar, the report was received.

Maj. W. H. McCardle moved that the word conservative be stricken from the preamble and addressed the Conven tion at some length in support of the motion. Mr.

Wiley P. Harris replied to the argument ot laj. McCardle and opposed me amendment. Mr. Amos R.

Johnston also addressed the Convention acainst thn amend manr. Mr. Morgan J. B. moved that the motion of Maj.

SlcCardle be laid on the table. The roll of the counties being called on .1. mis motion tne recommendation was tabled by a vote of 1G2 ayes to 83 nays. In the course of time the words "Dem ocratic and Conservative people of the State of Mississippi" seem to have been informally abandoned and the words "Democratic-Conservative party" used in their stead. We remember no formal attempt being made to change tne name.

Unce, we believe, the word "Conservative" was dropped by the Chairman of the State Committee, but upon complaint being made by an "Old Line Whig," he put it back and there it has remained ever since. The recognized name of the party for a number of yean has been The Demo cratic-Conservative Party. The call for the Convention in 1881 and the call in 1885 recognize this title, and both these calls were adopted by, the State Com mittee. Though this is so, neither the Platform of 1876, 1881 or 1886. use the word "Conservative" in the preamble.

wniie, as we beiora said, we are indifferent to the name of the party, there are many who attach importance to it. To change it now would accom plish no good, and might do harm, because many ot the best citizens of tLe State, actuated by olMLane prejudice, have been unwiilic to call tLKucIvta Democrat), pore acl they live aTUl no arty ttzza il rir. MIT. ii Why Say Either? Editors should be the best spellers and grammarians, but sometimes mistakes are found in the columns of the best of papers due not to the printer but to the writer. We have noticed frequently that whenever many of the papers wished to speak of matters relating to floater they called it "floato-lial." The Herald believes the right way to spell the word is "floaterial," and suggests the change to our news paper brethren as being more correct.

Yazoo City Herald. We think that "floater" would be better than either "floaterial" or "floato-rial." Though "floater" is a noun, it may, without violence to the Queen's English, be used as an adjective, especially when a new meaning is given to the word as in its use in the expressions referred to. If there be those who prefer an adjectival termination, we suggest "floateral" as the proper word though nothing would be gained, etymo-loglcally, by changing the expression "the floater district of Holmes and Yazoo" into "the floaterial or floatorial district," Short essays on the proper word to be used when referring to a Representative district composed of two or more counties, prepared by the candidates for the position of State Superintendent of Education during the session of the recent State Convention might have assisted the Convention in coming to a conclu-as to the most suitable person to receive the honor of the nomination. In connection with the subject under consideration, it is worthy of note that those who aspire to represent more than one county in the next Legislature do not seem to care whether the districts be described as "Representative," "floater," or "floatorial," and this, perhaps, is the sensible way to treat the question. The Clarion thinks the present State ticket is the strongest nominated by the Democracy since the war.

We agree with it. It is rare indeed that so exceptionable a ticket is offered for the suffrages of the people. Yazoo Sentinel. Of course, oar contemporary meant to say that the ticket is unexceptionable. Which reminds us.

that recently in referring to the appointments of President Cleveland in Mississippi, we intended to say that they were unexceptionable but were recorded as saying that they were "unexcepticnal." A typographical error in the which looks to be about the size of a badly worn five cent piece, in the paper is as large as a cart wheel. Democratic Prospects in Ohio. A letter from Dr. War.
