JACKSON, MISS, Sept. 5.-Governor Shar-
key publishes the following dispatch from
President johnson:
att is believed there can be organized in
each county a force of citizens of militia, TO
suppress disturbances, preserve order, and
enforce the civil authority of the state and of
the United States, which would enable the
federal government to reduce the army, and
withdraw, TO great extent, the federal for
ces from the state. thereby reducing the enor-
nous expenses of the government.
IF there was any danger from an organi
zation of the citizens for the purpose indica-
ted the military are there to detect and sup
press, ON the first appearance of any move
ment insurrectionary in its character. One
great object is to induce the people to come
forward in the defence of the state an feder-
al government. General Washington declar
ed the people, the militia, was the right
arm of the constitution. As soon as it is
practicable. the original design of the govern
Inent will be resumed under the principle of
the great chart of freedom handed down to
the people by the founder of the republic
The people must De trusted toith their goUe11-
ment, and il trusted, my opinion Is they will
act in good faith and restore their former
constitutional relations with all the states
COM posing the Union.

Schurz's mission to the south was to aid, as
far as practicable. in carrying out the
policy adopted by the government for restor-
ing the states to their former relations with
the federal government 1t is hoped that
such aid has been given.
THE proclamation authorizing the restor-
alton of the state government requires the
military power to aid the provisional COVER
nor in the performance of his duties as pre-
scribed In the proclamation, and In no man
ner TO interfere or throw impediments in the
way of the consumation of the object OF his
appointment, at least without advising the
government of the intended interference.

| insulting intimation of so-called loyal lectur-
ers, that democrats will be SO ashamed of
their course that they will want to change
their names and those of their children, the
writer facetiously says:
s.What shall change 1t tot If call myself
Greelev they mig think that wrote that poetry
about the Haunting Ie,' and the STARRY rag 1t

/ the chap that denounced the constitution OF the

obeyed the constitution dog. II took the
name of Wright, who knows but that should be
| followed up as a bowling infdel who said that If

call myself Phillips, for fear excited ofce holders
should lynch me for proposing to repudIate the ma
