And Il. should be rendered, that the cor
ruption which finds home in the heart of
a goyernment-its legislature seldom fails
to reach, and that too quickly, its members;
and the entire mass becomes infested and
unhealthy. We may add, that demoraliza-
ton in the government Of republic is al
most certain to spread to the people, with
which it is SO closely connected. Politics
are then naturally regarded as a profitable
pursuit, and the government as an inexhaus-
tible mine to the bold and crafty. That
portion of the population which is impatient
Of the slow returns Of industry rushes into
the movement, excited by the hope of shar-
ing the plumber; and the calm observer is at
no loss to understand the causes which de-
grade parties into factions. and impart to
political contests the passionate violence and
perverted morals of.priyate struggles for
elicit gain.
The remedy for the evils of which we
have spoken, is in the hands of the people
and should be energetic and adequate to
the abuse. And the most effectual remedy
is to be found in wholesome and active
public opinion, which win punish the wrong
doer; and the press and the ballot box should
be interposed to inforce the law of public
sentiment against crime SO base and an
evil so destructive.

New and shorter Route to CaLifor.
MIA.


In this age Of steam and lightning, econ
omy Of time IS consideration not to be oy-
erlooked in the travelling arrangements of
the day. Animportant step in the "annihi-
lation Of distance has just been secured in
the discovery Of q new and shorter route to
the Pacifccoast. BY this passage San Fran
cisco papers Of the Cd Of FEBRUARY were re-
ceiyed at New Orleans on the Goth. The
shortest trip previously, has been twenty
four days!
But even this time is to be shortened. The
new route is by way of Vera Cruz and AGA
pulco, the overland journey between these
points being estimated at five days. It is
stated that the Post Master General has con-
tracted with New York Company to carry
the mails to California by this way. The
contractors have bound themselves to con-
vey the mails from New Orleans to San
Francisco in siateen days. The service is to
be performed thus: The vessels are tc
make the run from New Orleans to Vera
Cruz in three days; the overland journey tc
Acapulco in FIVE days; from which port tc
San Francisco the steamers can make TRIP
in eight days. The Company is known as the
"Mexican Ocean Mail and Inland Com
pany," and the stockholders are men o
great wealth and vast resources. The com
pany has also made arrangements to have q
line of steamers plying regularly between
Sydney, the most important port in New
South Wales, and Acapulco.
But Yankees will not be satisfied with
this. The New York Herald says on the
authority of those acquainted with this line.
that the trip can be made in tsOelue days, thus
from San Francisco to Acapulco in six days
from Acapulco 70 Vera Cruz in three days
from Vera Cruz to New Orleans in three
days That idea. if realized, will be pro
gress enough, for while.

FOR THE YAzoo CITY WING.
Mrs. Prewett::


Mrs. Pre0ett:
The last number Of the Vicksburg Wing
brings us an urgent and eloquent appeal
from a distinguished clergyman of that
place, on the subject of Temperance. Will
you allow me to call your attention par
ticularly to it. and to request its publication
in your valuable paper.
The appeal recommends the holding of a
State Convention at Jackson, on Wednesday,
the 4th day of May next, to consider the
propriety of memorializing the Legislature
in behalf of new and more efficient law
on the subject of the traffic in Spurious
Liquors. Will you allow me, Madam, to
ask you what you think about this matter.
And as you have way Of telling what you
think, oftentimes, would like to see you
ten it.
I we'll recollect conversation | had not
long since with one of our Supreme Judges
on this subject. His opinion was that the
Legislature ought to declare that all alco-
holic beverages should cease to be property.
That it should be pronounced public nuis-
ance. and be destroyed by the proper Off
GERS of the peace wherever found. That if
by any means, manned man or father,
should be furnished with liquor to intoxica-
ton. to the extent of depriving his wife or
children or both, of his lador or services in
their support, that an action for damages on
their behalf, to the extent of their entire
support, should lie against such person, SO
furnishing liquor, and SO injuring them, be-
fore the Probate or Police Courts. ! think
it was also suggested, it least it would be
entirely practicable and ceartainly proper it
seems to me, to declare all policies ofinsur-
auce void when alcoholic beyerge was suf-
fered to be kept ordeposited in houses so
insured.
The idea now seems to be to Kill alcohol
The Legislature has been physicing him q
long time, what do you say now to having
him killed? The Legislature has block
and an 0re-I for one would like to see the
head roll off.
Will you. Madam, speak out in regard to
this Convention. and say who ought to be
delegates and how appointed. &C., DC.
ANTI-WHISKEY.
It will afford rs great pleasure to comply
with the request Of aAnti- Whiskey." BY
publishing the article alluded to, provided
We can obtain the paper containing i. Il is
ably written, and It was our intention to
have published il but the paper got mis-
placed
Would time permit, We should tell what
we think about this matter. We can only
say, It present, that We are ID favor 81 the
movement.
Asto saying who ought to be delegates
to the Convention, We have no desire 10
s.take the responsibility but would suggest
that i county meeting Be held for the pur-
pose Of appointing delegates.

Cigars and Cognac.


are sifted out of the Treasury tables for the
past year by the New York Times. The
great grain growing interest may be thought
to figure to poor purpose in the list of for
eign exports, when it is known that We
smoke up, in Spanish cigars, the whole ex-
port of Wheat, and drink down, in French
Cognac, the entire export of Indian Corn.
For the rest of our Breadstuffs, the Flour
sent abroad sufices for something like two
thirds of the interest on the foreign debt,
leaving the Rice Of South Carolina and the
deferred faith of the repudiating States to
settle the remainder. In the fiscal year,
ending the 30th of June last, the United
States exported Wheat to the value of ST.
555. 300 During the calendaE year the city
of New York alone imported Cigars to the
amount Of 81 1873, 744, and other ports, say
40 per cent on the whole, would swell the
total to 80, 131 .216. The difference against
