- In Mississippi, the negro comes to
the surface as elsewhere, but the people are
more anxious to make him work than to give
him the right of voting. The planters fear
an emigration of their colored laborers to
the large towns, where more lucrative employ,
msnt can be had, and on failing in this EN-.
6 ployment they anticipate that the negro will
become a vagrant and rely upon the State
for support. Accordingly they urge that
an act of Congress should be passed to per.
NIT the cotton growing States to make speh
laws as will compel the negroes to work fos
stipulated wages and for stated lengths Of
time. Our jackson correspondent states
that the candidates who advocate this course
will undoubtedly be elected, and that no
man who argued against it would have the
aightest chance in,,the State. There is ab-
solutely no discussion on the suffrage ques-
ton. The feeling is so strong that no one
ventures to urge per contra. The editor
of the Nassassippian, who suggested that
the Legislature was bound to admit negro
evidence in the law courts, met with such
storm of opposition that he was compelled
at once to tack and eat his own words.
