question 10 perpefrsie inequality and IN
justice. Iffhe North has upon non-vosing
population the benefit of from fifteen 10
twenty representatives, how g i THAI she

LAwLRssNEss IN NORTHERN Mis-
sIssIPPI.-It is now ascertained that
regular organized band Of thieves
has been formed bctwcon Tupclo,
Miss, and Fort Pillow, on the plan
of John A. MurrelPs gang which
existed through the Southern coun-
try several years ago. They have
relay posts every twelve miles, and
when horse is stolen at either ter
minus ofthe line he is to be ridden
rapidly to the first post by one ri
der, who procures another horse and
returns, and is therefore never alb.
sent long enuugh tocreato suspicion
as to himself in the neighborhood
from which tho horse is stolen. One
of tho gang at the next post takes
the stolen horse ON t. the stand be-
You'd, and so to the end Of thelino,
where he is sold, being sufficiently
removed by this time fromsthe vi
entity whore he is known to avoid
discovery Chroniele. q

Mob Law.

The disposition OF die people OF Texas,
TO indulge in mob law, has done more TO
give the State bad name, than anything
else and is one of those evils which should
be entirely eradicated with as little delay
as possible. No citissn OF number of citi-
zens have any right to sit in Judgment, and
award punishment upon any human being,
unless in the capacity of jurors when as
sisting in the administration Of the laws
of the State.
And whoever assumes the authority to
inflict death as punishment for supposed
or real crime, except after trial and convic-
ton by due course of law, becomes himself
o criminal and as such shonldbe punished
for violating the laws of the State. We
shall never have security in Texas, for per-
son or property, until the laws made for
the punishment of crime, are most strin-
gently enforced against all those who ar
rogatc to themselves the right TO exercise
those powers and prerogaives belonging to
tho State; and who, under the preiext of
Kidding the country Of bad men, violate the
plainest prccepts of the.law, and become
themselves, criminals of deeper grade
than those upon whom they inaict punish
ment. If men rob, steal and murder, there
are laws made for their punishment and
we say let them be punished in the manner
prescribed in the law, and then their pun
ishment being legal, win create in TIE
minds Of the people, confidence and respect
for the laws.
Numbers can never make that tobe right
which is wrong, and whether man loses
his life or property by the hands Of one or
many in no wise changes the character Of
the act.
Where one man, or many men infici the
death penalty, without lawful authority,
they are guilty Of the crime ofmurder, and
should be punished.
