of the sort attempted in your columns.
The floods have covered us for the last
two springs; some persons, particularly
those near the river, have su tiered great
ly; so also have those cultivating very
low lands hack in the interior. Both of
these classes of sufferer think that ruin
is inevitable if the levees are not repaired
at once, whilst the mass of the people
within a very few miles of the river
are of a veiy different opinion. Some,
and not a few, declaring the flood a
blessing; others think they are very lit
tle injured by it. Now, the question of
leveeing the river bank to prevent tho
floods from pouring down upon us, is
what troubles the minds of the people
of the valley; and as a matter of course,
those suffering most, are the strongest
advocates for calling the legislature to
gether for the purpose of having laws
passed to enable them to tax the people
to build the levees; whilst the masses
seem to be Of the opinion that some
effort should be made to confine the
waters again to the river provided it
can be done without bringing about a
general bankruptcy as did the last tax
ation for levee purposos in this section.

Election of Judges.
A correspondent in last week's O. an
ion who si);ns himself "Democrat," pre
sents some strong arguments in favor of
electing judges by toe people, and some
which are hard to contradict. Among
other things he says: "If, therefore,
we are capable of self-government at
all; if we nave intelligence and virtue
Sufficient to elect a governor who in turn
will have Intelligence and virtue enough
to nominate a judge, nvc certainly must
have virtue and intelligence sufficienl to
elect a judge in the first instance. The
creator must be equal to the creature.
Water cannot run above a level with its
source." That is the idea exactly. If
the people arc capable of electing a
ernor who has th' intelligence to ap
point a judge, and senators who have
the intelligence to confirm the appoint
ment, they are certainly capable of eject
corder of the
signed the thr
charges that he is short in his accounts

Meeting ia Tallahatchie County.
Swan Lake, Miss., May !, 1883.
At A meeting of the citizens of Talla
hatchie county, living in district No. 1.
On motion of Mr. Jerry Kobinson, Mr.
Wcldoti Hawkins was called to the chair.
On motion the chair appointed Uessrsi
Webb, Robinson and Chrestman to draft
resolutions embodying the sentimentK of
the meeting, which was to this eflect.
la pursuance of a call from the citizens
of iunica county, we have this day met
in conveiiliim at Swan Lake; and we
resolve, that we have been so much
gouged heretofore in levee taxes (as we
believe), that we are not in favor of any
further legislation upon the subject, un
less taken up by the State or United
States feeling that the small amount of
land in cultivation cannot pay the
amount necessary to build levees to pro
tect us, though we hope the State or
general government may take the thing
in hand, and that the work would be a
source of revenue to the State and the
Government of the United States.
Btmfoed, That the Clakiox, Tallahat
chie Sentinel and Advocate be requested
to publish these proceedings.
kesohrd, That Mr. J. L Webb repre
sent us at the meeting on the 24th of
May, and present these resolutions to its
chairman.

The Crowning Edifice.
Philadelphia American.
The State of Illinois fixes three cents
a mile as the maximum charge for rail
road passengers. A citizen of the State
demanded that he should be carried six
miles for eighteen cents, and was re
fused because the railroad had lived
twenty cents as the priee of the ticket.
The Supreme Court decides once more
in favor of the State law, and against the
railroad. It says that the right of the
State to regulate the charges made by a
common carrier is a principle of com
mon law, and nothing less than an ex
press provision to the contrary in the
charter can estop the exercise of the
right. This is ot importance, not to
Illinois only, but to the whole country.
It may be regarded as ''crowning the edi
fice'' of the (iranxer decisions. Who
now charges the Western farmers with
being thieves or communists, because
they secured State regulation for rail
roads'.' Yet it is not so long since those
Charges were made by nearly every or
