The Clinton Record, a paper which
sometimes discusses political as well:
as theological questions, has an out-;
Hooken article on the nl>ove subject,
which wc reproduce in another col
umn. Its points arc strong, and are
forcibly presented. In addition to
the facts stated by the Record, it
will be remembered by those famil
iar with the history of the bW. that
the whisky men were backed in thei
lobby by Wall street capitalists1
who had made large advances on
the whisky in stock. To that ex
tent, the bill was for their benefit also,
as though such men as they were in
need of class legislation at the ex
pense of what is justly the Govern
ment’s own. The amount due, judg
ing from the most accurate estimates
we have seen, cannot be less than
#8.r<000,000, and Senator George
was one of a majority ol three who
decided by liis vote that this vast
amount should not be paid into the
Government Treasury.

gest that it behooves Senator George j
to submit them to his constituents
Wc will state in conclusion that,
owing to the very < bjrclionble fen-!
tuns of tiie Banded Whisky bill.it
never reached a vote in the House,
though its friends were ever on the
alert to secure its passage. The fol
lowing is the last wc hear o! the bill
,in that body, reported in last Sun

of Congress. It will be observed
that its friends persisted in their of
forts to the end, but were very

We arc in receipt of the 3rd num
ber of The Dixie Boy, a spunky lit
t tie eight-column folio, published at
i Lamar, Miss., by Master Waddle
Fludson, who says he is his own
devil, compositor and editor. The
paper smacks of success, which we
hope the young man will achieve.
Aceording to his statements in
the issue before us, he has been
treated with the grossest injustice
by the Assistant Postmaster General,
who has fixed the rate of postage on
his paper atone cent per copy,which,
its relative weight considered, is
more than twice the postage charged
other papers in the State of exactly
the same character. As it is. the
postage lor one year on each copy
will amount t> more than the price
of subscription. It is an unfair
thing the Assistant P. G. has been
guilty of, and unless he makes the
proper reduction he should be very
thoroughly ventilated.

Gen. Dabney H. Maury, the gal
lant Alabamian of Confederate fame, j
baa lately visited our State in
the interest of tbc above society
The society was organized in New
Orleans ir. 1868 for the object of
reseni»g the materials of the his
tory of the causes, the courso and
the consequences of the war between,
the States.
In 1873, the home of the society
was moved to Richmond, where it
was given by the State of Virginia
an office in the capitol. Into this
office have bceu gathered the great
est amount of documents now extant
upon the subject.
The Society has published ten
volumes of its papers, at its own ex
pense, owes no debt, and is now rais
ing an endowment fund, ont of
which to build a fire-proof office and
by rapid publication, to disseminate
and preserve its archives.
Gen. Maury has addressed a com
munication to Gen. N 11. Harris.
Col. C. C. Floweree, and Gen. E. S.
Butts, of Vicksburg, from which we
gather the above points, asking them
to aid in procuring from the govern
ment of .Mississippi an appropriation
to aid the Society in carrying out
its object. In making tbe appropria
tion. it is further suggested that |
Mississippi do so in co-operation
with the other Confederate States
which stood with her in the memora
ble, struggle f»r Southern indepen
dence.
With such an understanding, wo
would like to sec a proper appropria-;
tion made liv our next Legislature.
A few years ago there was an appro
priation made to have the individual
war record of the State compiled
from the archives at Washington,
hilt while the sum appropriated was
quite liberal at the time, it was iu
snlllcient to accomplish the object
in view, and Col. W. IF, McCardle,
who was appointed to do the wmk,
left it. on that account, in an unfin
ished condition. On the co-opera
tive plan proposed, Mississippi can
have preserved the part her honored
sons bore in the memorable strug
gle, quite as satisfactorily and au
thentically, aud the future •!. F. II.
Claiborne will not have to go any
further for all the reliable informa
tion lie desires, than to the records
of the Southern Historical Society.
It is not the purpose or desire of
the Society to reopen any old section
al sores, or cherish any prejudices
that, may still linger on either side;
hut it simply wants to present, lull
and complete, the truth of history,
that the honor and integrity of the
Southern cause and its soldiery may
stand unchallenged before all suc
ceeding generations.

Daily Democrat, March 1st.
“I didn’t know before that the
Mayor of Natchez gots drunk. The
people of that city ought to sit down
on him if that’s the way he behaves
in public. Who flues a Mayor when
he gels druuk, anyhow?”
The above was the comment of a
man of average perception who had
just squared himself in a chair in
our office for a glance over the col
uins of our Natchez cotemporary.
We explained that it was only a
laconic way the editor adopted of
anuoucing that Mayor Lowenburg
had made some other fellow pay .f2
and costs for the disreputable con
duct mentioned, but he l inked very
much like ho thought we were only
trying to put the best face on a bad
matter for the Mayor, and his ex
pression indicated that if that was
really what the Democrat meant, it
hadn’t mado it much clearer than
rand.

Atlanta, Ga., March 1.—All I
Georgia is in mourning to-day over
the death at 3:2i> this morning of
Gov. A. II. Stephens. Since the an
nouncement last Monday of his se
rious illness. Ids friends have feared
the worst an<^ were not altogether
unprepared for ths fulfillmont of his
prediction that he was going to die. j
At 1:33 he fell into a deep sleep.]
from which he never recovered. The j
members of his family were at, once 1
summoned, and at that hour, with
one quiet gasp In expired. C.d. John
Stephens and wife. G.)l. Greer and
wife. Mrs. Tinton Stephens an l a
number of State-house officers were
grouped on cither side of tho bed.
His physicians did everything to
prolong his life, but the edict had
gone forth and amidst the sobs ol
mourning friends he passed away.
Gov. Stephens’ illuess was con
traded on his return from the recen
eelebration at Savannah, where he
had to ride from the depot to the
hotel in a damp fog with the win
dows of tho carriage up. He com
plained almost immediately of cold,
but nothing serious was anticipated
until his old complaint, neuralgia of
the bowels set in, which eventually
caused his death.
Gov. Stephens was born in Talia
ferro county, Ga . February II. 1812.
He graduated at Franklin college,
Athens. Ga., 1832, was admitted to
tho bar in 1831. and in 1833 ho be
gan the political life which has
brought him such honor and promi
nence, •
Tho evidences of deep mourning
for tho grand old governor nro dis
played on every hand, and his life
and death are the one topic of conver
sation. No man in the State was
more endeared to the people, and no
face, but denotes sorrow at his
death. IIis illustrious career lias
long been the source of much pride
to every Georgian, who, while pity
ing his crippled condition, revered
his great brain, and admired hi*
untiling energy and devotion to par
ty and people. The funeral will take
place at Crawfordsville, Gn., where;
he will be laid to rest beside the re
mains of his father. J. S. Boynton, |
the President of the State senate, a”- |
rived from Griffin this morning in |
answer to a telegram, and at once j
assumes the duties of Governor. lie
will be sworn iu to-morrow. Gov. |
Stephens mndc a will some time ago. ;
He leaves #10,000 in money to be ]
divided among the three children of1
his brother, the late Judge Stephens,!
and the rest of-his estate to his
nephew. Col. John A. Stephens, hav
ing a few minor bequeaths. His re
mains will lay in State till Monday
at the executive mansion, and then
i will be placed In tho capital, where
| they will remain until Thursday,
when they will temporarily be inter-1
j red at Oakland cemetery. Promi
nent people from al. over the Slate
and other States are expected. Gov.
Stephens’ last words were, ' Oh,
you hurt me,” caused by Dr. 11 lin's
effort to turn him in bed.
As- outburst of Southern feeliug
was awaked by the c-looing sentences
of an address delivered by General
| Jnbal Early before the Aasoeirtion
of the Maryland Line, in Baltimore,
on the evening of irashington’s
birthday, and by the spirit in which
it was received. ‘ I trust,” said
Gen. Early, “that every faithful sold
ier of the Army of Northern Virgin
ia is ready to exclaim with me: If
11 over disown, repudiate or apologize
for the causa for wdiich Lee fought
and Jackson died, let the litghtniugs
of Heavens blast me, and tlio scorn
ofgj^od men and true women be my
portion.”

The whisky hill which passed the j
United Stat* a Senate some time since ;
by a very Uosj vot \ lacked nothing
of being as had p bill as wa* ev*-r
lobbied through any legislative body.
So far as the debates show, theiC wa-*
not ono single thing to reconame id
it. A powerful whisky lobby ap
pear n before Congress, and makes it
appear that the manufacture of their
commodity is in advance of the con
sumption. They, therefore, ask that
they may bo ailowo l to put their
whisky in Government warehouses,
nnd keep it there three years with
out paying the tax on it. The,
amount of taxes involved is between
sixty and one hundred million dol
lars* The least that can be said of
it is they ask tin use of tins money,
without interest, for three years.
This bill is doubtless the first of.two;
the next will ask for a reduction of
the tax, or for its entire abolishment
This is clast legislation without any
thing t > r* lieve it.
R.ii'roa is a**k special favors often,
but iu return they propose to confer
h public benefit. Manufacturers of
valuable ar.ieles ask protec'ion, be
cause they will build up the c u.itrv
and add to the c otiif rt of the
people at large; but wnat great
lieu* fits do these whisky lords pro
pose to confer on the people at large,
that they should have the face lo
come btfue Congress and ask for
the loan, free of iuteri sr, of the large
sum of the p ogle's money? V* iiv
should ill ,*y ask to bo put on the lisi
of national pets? Or why should
tho farmer, the merchant, the me
chanic and every body e!>c bo re
quired to piy lax*R promptly and
| ihesc men be excused? In short.
| why should tho United Stat* a take
j the whisky interest under iis foster
mg care.
When this bill was put upm its
passage our own Senator (Georg*)
voted for it. This vote will win him
great favor in sui ton circles; but
what do the Bober, lair minded ci i
zens of this c mimou wealth think of
it? The ordinary evens' of fealtv
to paity, which is never a valid ex
eus*, cannot be m ole in this case.
The bill was fathered by the Repub
lican senator, John Sherm in. It was
purely a whisky issue, a id the whis
ky lobby, with free whisky and
plenty of money to hire advocates,
won the day.
Wc do not forget that Sena’or
Geoitre celeb ated his election to
to the high and responsible position
he occupies by a champagne supper
when a scene of revelry and drunk
enni'38 occurred which did no credit
to those engaged in it. With due
appreciation for the ability of our
Senator, and his public services, we
give it as our opinion that ilic time
has come when the people ought to
see to it that the whisky influence
shall be checked, and the way to do
that is to place men in responsible
positions who have no affinity w.th
w hisky.—Baptist Htcoi'il.

Inst Sunday. The following descrip

interest to our rcadcis:
Washington, March 4.--Thou
sands of people gathered at the f'api
tol to day to witness the final scenes
T»f the Fo'ty seventh Congress. Sena
tors and Representatives, after being
up and about all night, had gone
home, taken a bath and 6have, put
on their Sunday clothes and returned
with their families or their sweet
hearts. Instead of going to church
people went to the Capitol. Pretty
and prettily dressed children pla3-ed
about the corridors and invaded the
hall of the House. At 11 *45 Bayard
and Anthony, of the Senate, and His
cock, Robeson and Atkins, of the
House, were appointed a committee
to wait on the President, to see if hr
had any further communication.
They reported he had nothing. In
the Senate, Mr. Edmunds, at noon
sharp, declared the Senate adjourned,
and at the same time, after reading
a short address, the Speaker an
non need the final adjournment of
the Forty-seventh Congress,members
said their farewells, and in a little
while the Capitol was comparatively
deserted.
The first telegraphic dispatch fr >m
Utica after the wires reached that
point, was sent by Geo. L. Crosby,
editor of the Monitor, and Mayor
McKie, of tliat growing town ,on Fob.

and tennot. We have fn-vieoly
heard the complaint m ide tliat onr
legislature changes the law so often
npon this subject that the most of the
people can hardly keep posted as to
what the law really is.
As the law now stands upon onr i
statute it does not vary greatly from
common law provisions in regard to j
landlords and tenants. The princi
pal difference seems to be this: Un- j
der the comm in law the tenant was
liable for rent, but it had to be seized
by attachment, and until that time
no lien was created. Our State law
creates a special lien npon all the
agricultural products f >r the rent
of theland upon which they were rais
ed. This lieu is prior to all others, and
the landlord can compel the tenan
to satisfy the rent before anything
else is paid out of the proceeds of
the crop. Next to the claim (or rent
comes the claim for supplies furnish- j
ed by the landlord, provided it does]
not impair the rights of the benefi
ciary in any mortgage or deed of
trust, of the existence of which the
landlord has had notice.
This lien for supplies does not
op rate iu favor of one except the
landlord. No p rson other than the
landlord cm have any lien upon the
crop for supi'li s fnrn-diicd <*xcepi by
taking a mortgage or deed of trust.
