GEN HUMPHREYS PARDoNED.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the Jackson News
tried TO defeat Gen. Humphreys by telling
the people that he could not take his
seat if elected, and that his election
would be looked upon by the Govern

the people of the State, yet as soon as it
was known at Washington that the peo-
pie had elected him. President Johnson
at once granted his petition for pardon,

the duties of Governor. We expected to

DoNk WELL.-When the people of the
South wanted to have slavery protected
in the territories, the Republicans said
no. the territories must be reserved for

would cling 10 the old Republican teach

A silly canard is the report that all the
troop in the South are soon to be with
draw. You will observe what the
President has done in Mississippi. and his
polio, will be the same in the other
State. As they progress in the work OF
restoration, the troops will be gradually
withdrawn until the States, being fully
prepared With their own military organ
zation, no hrther necessity will exist for
the presence Of the national forces, and
they will then be Withdrawn altogether
Until the militia in the several States is
complete, however, and the States in
question havN given undisputed proof of
their loyalty Jour forces will still occupy
them TO q ccKain extent, as q precau-
tionary meafnre.
