MISSISSIPPI We have the promise of a
most extraordinary Gubernatorial middle in
! Mississippi. The people Of that State recently
adopted Constitution, which among other
things, provided for the election of Governor.
AS soon as :he Convention adjourned an cleo
tion was ordered by the Provisional Governor,
and constitutional Governor elected, Gen.
Humphreys proving the successful candidate.
His ineliglblllty was at once removed by par
don from Washington, and he entered some
weeks ago upon the duties of his office. The
Legislature of Mississippi, in the meantime,
elected the late Provisional Governor. to the
Senate of the United States, aud Judge Shar-
key retired temporarily to private life a
Suddenly, however, Mr. Seward orders Judge
Sharkey to continue TO perform his duties as
Provisional Governor, but there is no proclama-
ton Of the intention Of the Government to dis
place General Humphreys. Mississippi is,
therefore, well supplied with the article of G ov-
ernors at this time. AS the relations between
the constitutional and Provisional Governors
arc Of the most friendly character, they will, in
the discharge of their duties, probably "ride
and tire" Humphreys taking the reins one day
and Sharkey the next. The Roman Triumvi-
rate tried that plan, but it worked badly
key has just received dispatch from Secretary
Seward, announcing that he is expected to ex-
ereise the functions Of Governor Of Mississippi
until further orders from Washington
JACKSON, Miss ssippi, Nov. Ex-Governor
Humphreys has called upon the people to or
ganize companies to assist the civil authorities
in maintaining order.

sippi, which was numerously attended. W
G. Ruger, Esq, was deputed by the citizens
to welcome the General, and the General II,
response replied as follows:
M FellOIc- CitizenS-For the first time
since the commencement of the war, [ have
returned to my home with the expectation
of remaining here permanently. All the
armed foes of orr Government have been
subdued, and peace, with all its gentle in
huences, has again dawned upon our land.
Already It's effect is felt in every CITY anq
at every fireside. We have abundant reason
TO hope that civil law will soon prevail
throughout the entire country, and that the
question as to the treatment of the States
recently in rebellion will, under the
wise policy adopted by the President,
be settled in manner best calculated
to promote the true interests of all
classes of citizens in those States. The
time having come, when l could consis-
tently leave the military service. | have re-
turned to civil life, with an earnest desire TO
lend my influence in support of that policy.
On reaching home l fluid two parties one a
unit in supporting that policy and the other
divided i'll regard to it. leave it to Won,
my tellow-ctizens, to say with what part
| should, as supporter of President John
sons efforts, have identified myself have
enjoyed many advantages in stu lying tn,
condition of those States, the disposition OF
the citizens and the condition of the free
men. At proper time shall lax. occa-
sion to express my views on these subjects.
l shall content myself this evening with
thanking you for this EXPIRE, sion ofyour Kind
feelings towards me, for the comrlimen-
'0~v terms in which you have alluded to nv
services.

Ia. SAVANNAH CUSTOM Ii"UsE.-The New
rk Hera!d contains letter from "Savan.
Ne: chants" i'll which they say;
a. Collector here charges two cents
ind o, all cotton shipped from the
y, eech shipper has then to go to the
Plrt Collector with his manifest and pay
fee flor each maniteSt) of twenty cents. On
yesterday the Collector announced that he
would weigh and mark every bag OF cotton
shipped, and would charge for this twenty
cents per bale. Say, then, 100000 bales
pass through Savannah curing the wear.
The Collector viii get for this the snug little
sum Of 800, 900, and, added to this, hand.
some per cent. on the revenue, two cents
per pound. Say that he collects two cents
on 100, 900 bales, at $50 pounds Ito the bale,
he will, upon As, 900, 900 pounds at two cents,
realize for the government $1,000. Thus
the Treasury gets 100000, less the percent
age, and the Collector about $24, 500.
Each person with an income of over $500
per annum pays, by order of the Port Com.
mander, three per cent per month on all
above that mountaineering thirty-six per
cent in the year. EacL merchant paws bv
the same order one per cent per month on
gross sales OF merchandise, and one per cent
on all commissions arising from the sale of
cotton.
We wi thank you to make this little me-
morandum public, that our friends NORTH
may know the value of a Southern Cit
ship. This taxation is ipdepeadeDt n

carriage with an unprotected female that
there being no one else in the carriage, he
ventured, while they were enveloped by the
darkness of a tunnel, to attempt to kiss his
fair COMPANION; that she, being naturally
horror stricken, manifested very becoming
indignation, to appease which the young gen.
tleman went down upon his knees and
begged her pardon; but all in vain. She
turned him over to the police at the Corydon
station; he was duly arraigned and tried.
The facts, as We have stated them, were
Droyen. and but for the intercesSiOn OF the
lady he would have been sentenced to SIX
months in the House Of Correction. But
DESPITE Of her entreaties, the Court held II
was their duty to punish him. "lt was

The guilty man must at least pay a fine OF
