The Mississippi Index states that the legislature
of that State, at its late session, passed bill pro-
vding for the collection Of tax of one-half cent
per mile from passengers travelling on the several
railroads in the State. The bill was brought to
the attention Of the managers of the roads, some
time since, by Governor Humphreys. A confer
enoe was subsequently held at tJaekson, when the
Governor made q proposition by which the officers
Of the roads were to become the agents of the
State for the collection Of the tax. From the Meri
dian Messenger. of the 10th, we learn that this
proposition was declined by the managers of all
the roads in the State r5s E z5l 49, ,s1 I'd 4 X

confidence in the stability Of the Mexican repnb-

ing his trip to the Indian eeas, Mr, Seward paid

and the injustice which they displayed IN return

The Attorney General on G,s. Murphy
Messrs EDIToRs: Allu5ions having
been made to my opinions as the Attor.
ney General of the State, differing with
his excellency, Gov. Murphy, as to the
time propssar t9F 9qt}apTm In az TINS setGf esdfs, and
dissenting from his action in proclaim,
ing an election on the lst Monday of the
present month for members to Congress :;
it IS due to myself and those concerned
to give my reasons for such difference Of
opinion The time for holding such clcc-
ton shall be prescribed in each State by
the Legislature thereof See Article lst,
Section 18th, of the Constitution CO the
United States, which declares, "The
times, places and manner of holding
elections for Senator's and Representa-
tives shall be prescribed in each State BY
the Legislature thereof; but the Congress
may, at any time, by law, make or alter
such regulation, except as to the places
of choosing Senator's The Legislature
of this State passed an act approved Jan
uary 10Th, 1861, (section ,, page 1853,
acts of the General Assembly 1860 and
1861, which repealed an act passed by
the Legislature, 4th January, 1858, which
last named act fixel the time for holding
the election on the lst Monday in Au-
ust, 1854, and every two years thereaf-
ter. The act Of 10Th January, 1861, first
above named, declared, That in order
that this State may Immediately have the
benefit of the additional representation to
which she may be entitled under said
clauses and apportionmcnt, such addi-
tional representation or representations,
shall be elected by the voters of the prop
er district or State or hcrcinbefore con
sttuted or directed on the lst Monday in
October, A. d., eighteen hundred and six
ty-one, under the laws now in force, reg
rating general elections, and on the first
Monday in October, every two years
thereafter, said voters shall elect the num-
ber of Representatives to which this
State may be entitled under the laws then
in force regulating the subject .'.
The last clause Of the 9th section OF
the schedule Of the constitution declares
g That all laws in force in this State on
the 4th of March, 1861, which are not
inconsistent with the constitution, and
which have not expired by limitation
herein contained, are still in force. There
is nothing in the act of January l9th,
1861, inconsistent with the constitution,
but on the contrary, the constitution has

MORALS OF WASHINGTON CITY.-The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Watchman, religious journal thus
depicts the deplorable state of morals at
the Nationap Capital under Radical
rule:
Lcentousness and drunkenness are
the prominent features Of Washington
lire, this season Members of Congress
spend their afternoons and evenings in
billiard and drinking saloons. and their
nights in houses Of illiame or assigna
ton. Fivesevenths Of the Republican
members Of Congress spend their nights
in licentous dissipation. While ma
jority Of the Democratic members are
working for the good of the country, the
opposition, relying on its majority, goes
in for "good time" (so- called). Un-
der Abolition auspices, Washington is the
most licentious, depraved city in the
Union. Drinking saloons, gambling
houses, houses of prostitution and assig-
natien are about the Capitul as side
shows are about circus. Harlots and
niggers occupy the galleries and smile on
their pet members on the floor and throw
kisses at the God and morality" repre-
sentatives Of honest constituencies Sad,
sad indeed, but every word true. Let us
hope that the next election will send here
n different class Of men,"
