The Constitutional Convention Of Mis5is-
sippi. now in session at Jackson, has passed an
Amendment to the State Constitution, by a vote
of Sc to II, recognizing the abolition OF
Slavery. Mississippi, therefore, takes the lead
among the Seeded States in the first neccS-
sary step to reconstruction. We will assume
that, in directing the next Legislature to pro-
vide by law for the protection and security OF
the persons and property of the Freedmen
she means to carry out the spirit Of the Act
of Emancipation and will guard this class OF
the population from any oppressive and iurbu-
lent conduct on the part of their recent masters

The evidence before the Coroners jury IN
the inquest held upon the body OF Matthias Bit
man. maniicsts conclusiyely the utter demorall-
cation Of the two companies, Nos. and Al, en-
gagged in the riot, and their entire unhtness to
serve in the Fire Department. The lofty re-
gard entertained for truth and the sacrcdness
attached to an oath by the fighting firemen,
cannot but be observed in reading the testimony.
The members Of the two companies swear point
blank to Numerically opposite things, and
each labors hard to prove that the other was
completely to blame. The proficiency
those selfsacrfcing and philanthropic gentle
men show in perjury is only equalcd by their
genius for lawessness and outrage; and II dis
regard of all oaths and order and decency were
the chief requisites of New-York fremen, We
would chccnully recommend them to the
Metropolitan Commissioners. But as that
body happens to demand certain other qualities
that those ruilians never possessed, 1t viii OF
course act upon the accommodation Of the
Jury, and dismiss the offenders from the service

THE New York World is calling on the
President for new offer of pardon and
amnesty to the misguided South, on the
sole condition of submission to the con.
stitutiou. There is such standing offer,
renewed in the last annual message of the
President. 1.-THE war will cease on the
part of the government whenever it shall
have ceased on the part of those who be.
gan it." The whole case is as plain to the
people of the South as to those of the
North. No doubt the disposition of the
Southern people to return to their duty as
citizens grows stronger under the pressure
of defeat, but they are held so entirely in
the grasp of their leaders, that there can
be no general yielding until the military
power of the confederscy is completely
and forever broken down. 1t is therefore
as true now as at any previous stage of.the
war, that Union victories are the true peace
measures.

When the rebels made the raid on this
place on the 28th of November, there was
little incident occurred about the time
of their leaving, which was quite amusing
to an eyewitness who knew the characters
as well as this deponent did. Both are
the very personi6cation of the chivalry,
viz:-rich, proud and avaricious, and are of
course rebels. One is young man, and
the other young woman. The lady, it is
said, has made many efforts to enlist the
kind regards of the young man, but wheth-
er with, or without success, this deponent
saith not. But the incident am going to
speak offs this: The rebels took horse
from the lady, and a bull from the young
man, aud both followed to recover their
property. They overlook their thieviDg
friends about Petersburg, but were only
partially successful in their mission, for
they came back next day, or the day after,
with the bull only. But the lady seemed
in no way chagrined at the loss of her
horse. Indeed, she seemed unusually mer-
~ she passed the deponent. No doubt
her lady like employment gave her cheer
full disposition q new grace. Bull driving
with a beau certainly improves her charms.

YATES THOMPSON, young Englishman
who visited this country in the summer

very fashionable in high circles to sueer at

"But," he says, "some of US do know

THE Eastern paper manufacturers take
some alarm at the perseveriUg effort of the
newspapers to induce Congress to take the
duty off foreign paper. They are combiu-
ing to resist it, but are not likely to sue
coed SO well as they did before, when they
not only prevented the duty being lessen
ed, but actually got it increased. The
movement for the abrogAtiOn of the duty
has already had an effect on the price of
paper; it is offered freely for. newspaper
printing at 23o. Indeed, one is reported At
2Ic; but most likely this sale was made up
to affect the question before Congress, by
showing, OF. trying to show, that thereis no
need of reducing the duty. But when they
show us that paper can be made aud sold
for zoe pound, they will have removed
all objection to the repeal of the duty
None of the newspaper publishers desire to
break down the paper manufacturers, or
prevent them making handsome profits
But whereas, for the past three years, pa
per manufacturing has been the most prof :
table business in the country, while paper
printing has been one Of the most precari-
Gus aud unremunerative, many newspapers
being run at loss, few at a profit, they
would like to see matters equalized little
mOre-they want to live and keep Their
subscribers. That's all of the question
and the argument.

It is stated that the general impression
in Mexico is that Macmillan has so many
obstacles in his way that he cannot sus-
tain his empire six months longer, even if
the Mexican patriots areas unfortunate as
they have been represented. Macmillan has
entirely set aside the church party, under
whose influence he went to Mexico, and ban,
ished two heirleaders; he cannot conCili-
ate theliberals, and therssec little chance
for his getting any permanent hold upon
the Mexican people. !SHe has no money
and no credis, aod both sare essential to
the establishment of a new empire, or to
secure it's maintenance otter it has been
once established.
Tie real state of affairs in Mexico is ex-
ceedipgly difficult to get at. Juarez and
his party always tell bright stories, and
are always upon the eve of important bat.
ties which are to establish the Mexican re-
public in triumph over the would. be Mexi-
can empire. The French, on the other hand
are equally ssnguine that the empire is
getting to be firmly established, and the
latest adyices through French sources state
that all the reports about Juarez's victor
les are entirely false. 1t is enough to say
that it is no epviable task to rule il Mexi-
co, and whether Juarez or Macmillan
shall show the most pluck aud persistence
and worry out the other, the victorious
man will find that even success brings its
Inconvenience. The dominant influence
in Mexico is entirely at variance with ali
true national development, 1t will take
many years to make Mexico peaceful and
prosperous country, whatever may be its
political rule.
