Boahl Sr.SATOR GEORGE predded over the litvce Convention With ability and fair ntM, and participated in its delibera tions, and the able discussion between him and Mr. Williams, of Ya.oo, was a notable feature of the Convention. A statement is going the rounds which The Clarion copied, that nego tiation! for the construction of the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, were jjcndinp with prospects of lUCCeiS, whether the coinpauy succeeded in ob taining the land grant, or not.

It Would seem that the howling philanthropists, in their concern for the Borroboolani afar off, have overlooked the Africans at their own doors. The article is taken from the New York Christian Observer, an organ of one of the religious denomi nations. State Pharmaceutical Association. We have received from Mr. Edgar Delery, drtyggist at Bay St. Louis, and who was the first, we believe, to suggest the idea of a State Pharmaceutical As sociation, a very earnest appeal to the druggists of Aberdeen to meet with oth ers of the profession who have signed a call for Jackson, June 12th, instead of holding t ho proposed separate meeting at Aberdeen on 18th of same month. Why would it not bo n good compromise for all to meet on the date first named, and let the second annual meeting be held at Aberdeen in 1884? Reduced rate- of fare have been obtained on all the roads for the meeting announced for 12th. We have been pleased to note the movement among the druggists for a State Association, and hope to see its or ganization harmoniously and thoroughly effected. The Levee Covention. We have never witnessed a more de liberative assembly within the capital, than the Ix'vee Convention which met on the 24th. The delegates were a rep resentative body, and they spoke and acted under the inspiration of tho mo- mentous crisis with which they were dealing. Contrary to expectation, the delegates from the front and back 00UU tles, after patient consultation and earn est Inquiry, agreed upon, and formula .ted a plan which practical and expe rienced men nro confident, if carried out, will aiford the section of the State interested, the protection from the deso lating floods (,f tlK. ,u.xt high water sea son. Having thus agreed, the Conven tion petitioned tho Governor to assem ble the Legislature for the purpose of legalizing the plan agreed upon. That grave question is in his hands, and there wo will leave It without argument or comment, to bo deckled according to bis conscientious convictions of duty.

The Examiner's exchanges are now full of a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States lately pronounced in two cases definitely and unmistaka bly settling that very question, or in other words, reaffirming what, had been before decided. The argument of the railroad attorneys was that the State had granted to the Board of Directors of the com panies, "the power to establish such rates of toll as they might from time to time by their by-laws determine." The court decided that u clause of the kind in a railroad charter is not a contract preventing the State Legislature by law, or through its constituted agents, from supervising and regulating their freights and fares. In the absence of such exer cise Of authority by tho State, it is the province of the Companies to fix their charges, but it is subordinate to the authority of the State. And so the com- panics which were chartered by the Mis-1 sissl ppi Legislature in earlier days have j the right to prescribe their own rates, as have the companies which were charter ed by the present Legislature, but an Inseparable condition of this provision is that tli' sovereignty of the State when invoked supercedes the authority of the companies. This is the supreme law of the land as expounded by the tribunal I of last resort UIMfer our government;; and here the argument ought to close.)

The Democratic party, in adopting as its organic law the doctrine of supervising corporations, never intended to Include manufacturing companies ; and therefore, we pledge that the Wesson Mills and all other manufactories are secure from State con trol. There aro twenty-four States that have adopted laws reszulatinft corpora tions. None of them include manufac tories, for the plain reason that they are not invested with tho State's right of eminent domain which carries with it the I right of State supervision. When they j ash to "be Invested with the right of eminent domain the right to seize pri vate property tor their own use -ami their application is granted it will be 'time enough to talk about making them sub jects of legislative control. Mauufac- tories are private propcrtv, and no more ,.- ' , ., intended for public use than your neigh bor's plantation, nor his ox, nor his ass nor anything that he has. On this proposition, Tin; Ci.AKfOS says to the Herald, shake! We are alsu agreed in favor of the passage of a federal super vision law.

It is said that about fifteen thousand of the 100,000 and more, office-holders under the United States government, are sub ject to the competitive examinations pre scribed in the so-called Civil-Serviee Reform legislation of the last Congress. They apply to the lower grade of offices in the Departments at Washington, and to Port offices, and to Custom-houses having fifty officials employed. An un just provision of the law is that persons already holding positions are exempt from examination. That's what we would call civil service, reform with a vengeance. The examinations will be in the following branches, and when perfect, trill be scored as f ollows : ' 1. Orthography, penmanship, anil copy in;,', 109, :!.

I nder the h,-. of "No tariff fitrht in the Demo- . . , , . cratic caucus the Aberdeen. Lxamjner says: The TurifT question is a local issue, and must be met and disposed of in the various ( 'oiipressional Districts in accord ance with local interests. Where a pop ulation is chiefly employed in iron, lead and copper industries, and manufactur ing, the voters will lie practically unani mous in favoring the so-called "protec tive system," while agricultural districts will gravitate towards a "revenue tariff with incidental protection;" and the Congressmen thus chosen each repre- scntinar the policy, or interests, or prej udices of his constituency will when assembled compromise their differences to as great an extent as possible in the interest of the consuming class. This means that the Democrats must abandon their well chosen ground of a "Tariff forrevenueonly." If.they are to stand on that ground, the tariff can not" be considered as a mere "local question. The very object of the Tariff antago nises such position. It is to raise rev enue for the maintenance of the gov ernment, not to promote any branch of industry nor to advance the interests of any locality or section. The occupation of the latter position by the Democracy involves the abandonment of the for mer; and then the party will be oo high tariff, or protective ground. It would then be a Democratic tmrtv with Keouh- lican principles a situation which, with deference to the Examiner, we do not think it is not willing to accept.

Port Gibson News. The News is entirely mistaken. The writer and three other citizens of Hinds wctc present as invited guests, and as far as our knowledge and belief ex tend, Hinds county not only does not "claim the honor and maternity of the Claiborne County Grange resolutions," but neither ortrinated. wrote, suc-rested w ' t CO nor inspired them. It neither adds to, nor detracts from, the merits of the res- olutions,but since the statement has been made, it is due to Claiborne to correct It. None better than our distinguished friend of the News, knows that it is the way with Claiborne to speak for her self. The Columbus Index is mistaken in supposing that we refered to Col. Mul drow as the fast friend of Mr. Randall. The record shows shows that Muldrow, and we believe every other member from Mississippi, except one, voted for DiacKDUrn m the caucus. Of course as a good Democrat he voted for Randall after the caucus nomination, and wo would have done the same thing if we had occupied his seat. Chickasaw Mes senger. The inference from the foregoing i that Col. Muldrow is not one of the "two" Representatives from Mississippi. who it is said intend to support Mr. Randall in caucus.

The w York Knn is a verv able na- Z . . , per, and is often right, it is not quite so, however, in its proposition to abolish "the internal revenue svstem and hate- I .. . . ... .... ful relic of the war, which ought to be wiped out entirely before any attempt it j '"-' ""'"' Pf tM lanjf. j We have italicised the objectionable part. Why not move along the whole line of reform? Adopt the Presidents recommendation to repeal the entire revenue tax except as to distilled spirits, and romodle the tariff on a revenue basis. Our able New York contempora ry knows that the primary object of the j latter, is not to produce revenue, but to secure bounties to monopolists. Make it a tariff for revenue. Wipe out as far as practicable "the hateful relic of the war" and abolish altogether the present cumbrous internal revenue machinery which costs the people live millions of dollars annually. Tuscany Wheat. We have on exhibition a specimen handle of wheat grown by Mr. S. H. Stackhouse, from seed furnished Maj. E. (J. Wall, (Commissioner of Agriculture), by the King of Italy and given to Mr. S. to experiment with. Judging from the fruitage of the sample, the yield per acre will not fall short of thirty-five bushels. The wheat is rust proof and admlrshlv ; adapted to our climate, and Mr. S. is4if the opinion that it will become in the course of a few years, a general crop. We invite farmers to call and examine it. Crystal Springs Meteor. If Maj. Wall has succeeded in intro ducing rust proof wheat into Mississippi . ; n..,.,,,,. ul.;,. .. ... ,i.:.. HvvoiniPii.-iimii: .

If anticipations are realized, there is no reason why Missis sippi may not produce her own wheat and become a large wheat exporting State. Tm: announcement of Hon. Hiram Cassedy for re-election for District At torney in the 10th district, is made in this paper.
