ONCE.
It is eminently right and proper that the
Government Of the United States should
give earnest and substantial evidence Of its
Just appreciation of the services Of the patri-
otto men who, when the life Of the Nation
was imperilled, entered the Army and Navy
to preserve the integrity Of the Union, de-
fend the Government, and maintain and per-
petuatc, unimpaired, its free institutions 1t
is therefore Directed
First. That in appointments to Office in the
several Executive Departments of the Gen
eral Government, and the various branches
of the public service connected with said De-
partments, preference shall be given TO such
mcritorious and henorably discharged sol
dicrs and sailors-particularly those who
have been disabled by wounds received or
diseases contracted in the line Of duty--as
may possess the proper qualifications.
Second. That in all promotions in said De-
partments, and the several branches Of the
public service connected herewith, such per-
sons shall have preference, when equally eli
gible and qualified, over those who have not
faithfully and honorably served in the land or
naval forces Of the United States.

Upon tho FIRST, page of tOdays REPUBLICAN will
be found a communication from tho Cincinnati
Commercial explanatory of the Orratic course of
the Reverend ParsOn BRowSLow, who few years
ago sat down deliberately and calmly in his study
and constructed what be considered an irrefragible
argument in support of slavery, and who Is now to
outward appearance, one Of tho most deop-rooted
of tine radicals. The writer Of the article in ques.
ton has "puckod the heart out of this mystery"
and proves to the candid reader that the Reverend
ParsOn is about as full of political guile as any
sinner in Tennessee. The communication should

STRANGE INCONSISTENCY.

Considering the fact that President
JOHNSON stands to-day where be did when
extreme Radicals afflicted him With theil
fswuiug support. there is a remarkable
want of consistency in FoRSEr's political
course during the past few months.
Here is what he thought fthe President
only very short time ago:
President Johnson's policy offers a
common ground upon which the earn
est loyalists car meet. Ifhe cannot con-
fer the right Of suffrage upon the South
ern colOred people. he can aud will keep
them free, and contribute 10 their moral
and physical welfare. If be cannot do
that in The South which The best states
men in the land have failed TO DO for the
negro in the North. he can protect the
liberated masses Of that lOng-persecuted
race against the attempt Of their late
masters 10 restore The horrors Of an &C
cursed system. ea.. ...-=.s.. s-.l'

that all are enjoying degree Of prosper.

In CHANGING over tie various exchanges
which come to US from all parts Of the
State, we have often fell desire TO become
personally acquainted with rhcjr various
editors and publishers. There are many
reasons why the conductors Of the pres
in each State should Anow and UNDERSTAND
each o'her better then hey can through
the mere pcrusal Of an exchange list II
some States, we believe. Publishers As
sociations have been formed, and annual
meetings bed. at which are discussed
various measures fer the welfare aud ele
walton Of the public press. Why can we
not have such an ssst citation IN Mississip
pi? II would involve but little time,
scarcely any expense. and would be the
means. not only of a thorough acqusint.
auce With each other, but would tend &c
elevate the press, and couduce TO the
general public good.
We throw out these suggestions 10 our
editorial brethren, believing hat they vii
commend themselves as practical and
timely. and hoping that they may meet
with a general response. Without pre-
suming 70 dictate, we would further sug

The great scarcity of Common
Schools, and the large number OF or
phans Of deceased soldiers, and 9th
er INDECENT children in the State,
growing up in ignorance, begins to
engage the public mind, and prompts

should be responded to promptly.
From our knowledge of the President
Of the Board OF Police Of this county,
