Mississippi Legislature.

JACKSON, Nov. 2l..-A bill comforting
certain civil rights upon freedmen, passed
the House of Representatives to-day with a
substitute for the 4th section. Freedmen
are allowed to testify and bring witnesses
when party to the record, but not in cases
exclusively between white men.
From the above it will be seen that the
Legislature of Mississippi, hsve thus far
carried out the views of President johnson
on reconstruction. We have for months
been satisfied that Texas would be kept UNI
der military rule, and excluded from hay
ing any voice in the administration of the
nation, until provision should be made by
law, for the protection of the negro in his
rights to acquire and hold property, and
enabling him to sue, and be sued like white
men. This of course includes the right to
testify, and to introduce negroes as wit
nesses in ali cases where they may be par
ties, having ON interest in the cause to be
adjudicated. Nothing short of this will
satisfy the President; and even when this
is done we may still be kept under military
rule until we make other and more degrad-
ing concessions. As conquered people
we have little else to do but to register and
obey the DEGREES and rescripts Of our con-
querors Wisdom indicates that we should
do nothing that would call down the evil
and wrath of those who have the physical
power to exact from us implicit obedience
to all they require.

Arrival of Federal Cavalry.

A dctatcemcnt of U. S. Cavalry number
ing about $50 reached Dallas on the evening
of the 9Th and remained until yesterday
morning, when they took up the line Of
march for Sherman Grayson county, where
they will remain some time. The detach-
ment was under the command of Col.
Brown of Indiana, and the troops were
from Indiana and Iowa; we did not make
the acquaintance of the commander, but
hear him highly spoken of by gentlemen
who did; our undemonstratiye population
of Anglo Norman descent appeared no ways
excited at the sudden and unexpected ap-
pearance of National troops in their midst.
If the white people looked with Indifference
upon the advent of the National troops; it
was not so with the Negroes, they congre-
gated in large numbers on the bank Of the
river, and with many demonstrations of joy
welcomed them as though they had been old
friends from whom they had been long
separated. The poor foolish negroes believ-
cd that Col. Brown had come to Dallas for
the purpose of dividing among them, the
property of the whites, ana many were the
long faces and rueful countenances to be
seen among them, when they wero told that
The government did not intend to take the
property of the whites and give it to the
negroes; upon the whole most of our IN
bleached population were disappointed at
the treatment they received at the hands of
the Federal troops.

UNION MEN EXCLUDED IN ALADAMA.-A
letter from an Alabama postmaster says
that Union men are rigidly excluded from
reconstruction convention and official posi-
tons.
We suppose that the great body of the
people of Alabama have too much good
sense to trust their lives and property into
the keeping Of the so-called Union men of
that State; especially if the Union men of
Alabama are as proscripivc, vindictive
and tyranical as those of Missouri, Mary
land and Tennessee; so far but three
Southern States have been represented in
their State Conventions by majority of
the so-cdlied Union party, and in each of
these States the great body of the frcemcn
have been excluded from the ballot box /;
we pray God to save not only Alabama,
but Texas from the misrule and domination of
such Union men as those that controlled
the action of the State Conventions of Mis-.
souri, Maryland and Tennessee.
