kind viz: in the jury emitting to ask the railroad msn
how long the conductor had been railroad man and
how he got his position by influence merit and u
he was sober at the time the accident occurred
These Mr.. Editor, are questions that will touch .

who are ignorant of the business-beng probably, 70
laves of superintendent director, and consequently
the position.
Let there be legislative restrictions upon placing men

The South AND THE NEXT CONGRESS-
Constitutional Convention of the State of Mis-
sissippi has passed resolution in favor Of
adopting the amendment 70 the Constitution of
the United States abolishing slavery. This, II
must be remembered, has occurred in State
which, in every sense, might be classified as
among the most intense pro-slavery States in
the Union. II was the State of JEFF Davis, and
one of the leading and bitterest States in re-
bellion. AS Mississippi, through her conven-
tion, has decided against slavery, the question
Of its existence in tho South may be considered
forecfosed, and, as peculiar institution, done
away with forever. Slavery, therefore, being
abolished rby the adoption Of the constitu-
tionsls k3Dnlbtnt, with the concurrence of
leading 5outheh State, the objection to the
adnssiotOf representatives in Congress from
the sodths States, because of the existence
of slavery ~cither Of them, cannot stand.
These Southern representatives will come be-
foro Congress with slavery abolished, and II
will present an extraordinary spectacle to see
them asking for admission into the ha.ional
and being refused. The question
Of negro suffrage has not come before the
Legislature Of either Southern State, nor has
Congress- acted upon it. There is no law on
The subject, nor will there be until Congress or
he State Legislatures enact one. All that the
after have to do must be done after the session
,f Congress- II would be manifest wrong,
therefore,, to exclude these Southern representa-
Ives on the ground of opposition 70 negro
suffrage. The radicals can never make spQh
popular
