Homestead for COIOred People.
We understand that the colored
people Of South Mississippi, particu-
larly in the sea-board counties, are
availing themselves of the present law
to secure permanent homes. We are
informed that one gentleman, Col j.
F. H. Claiborne, Of Bay st. Louis, has
filed nearly 200 applications for 80
Office, in this city, many Of them
being his former slaves. They are
engaged in cutting cord wood, burning
charcoal, making rosin and tar and
cultiyating the soil. These people
will become good citizens and tax
payers. Schools and churches will
soon appear among them, and in no
part of the world can they earn more
easy and comfortable support. The
country is remarkable for its health
it is convenient to New Orleans and
to the tiourishing sea-board towns it
produces a great variety of products,
cotton, indigo, tobacco, rice, potatoes,
oranges, lemons, grapes and pecans,
and the waters abound in fish and
oysters. There is a ready market for
all these at reasonable prices, and
demand for all the saw logs, spars,
wood and charcoal that can be fur
nished. There is no more prosperous
section. of the Union, than the sea-
board counties of Mississippi

Special Orders
No. 80.
]. On the 18th Of February, 1866, the Leg
islature of the State of Louisiana passed the
following act, by which the residence quail
ification for policemen in, this city wac in
creased from two to five years, to take effect
after the election then pending for q new
Mayor:
Section l. Be it enacted by the Senate and
Louisiana, in General Assembly convened,
That from and after the next election of
Mayor for the CITY Of New Orleans, the Po-
lice ofsaid city shall be organized by an or
dinauce, determining the number of officers
and men of which it shall be composed, and
the places and functions to be assigned, to
said officers and men, respectively, as we'll
as the salary to be allowed them, and the
uniform they shall wear; Provided, That
the salary Of each policeman shall be $50 per
month.
Sec. 8. Be it further enacted. &c., That
officers and men shall be selected from men
who can read and write the English langu-
ago. and who shall give evidence that they
are citizens of the United States of America,
and that they have resided in the City of
New Orleans upwards of five consecutive
years. f9yg 49,
VIA NJ NfAN ~
The object Of this act was to exclude ex-
Unicn soldiers from the Poiice force ofsthis
city. It was faithfully carried out by the
newly-elected Mayor, John r. Monroe, and
every ex-Unionl soldier discharged to make
room for those of rebellions antecedents. 2A
To annul this unjust prescription, 80 much
Of the above act as requires residenceof
five years Is hereby suspended, and a rest
dence qualification of two years adopted.
Thee Mayor Of this city, Edward Heath, is
hereby directed to adjust the present Police
force so that at least oue-half of said force
shall be composed Of ex-Union soldiers, and
oil acts and ordinances State or municipal
in the way Of this adjustment, win be disre-
yarded. A--s

AND now. my son, CannvG CIvp
this history withouta few words Of
the character and conduct of Mr. JEFF
ferson Davis, to whose ambition THU
siege Of our capital was due. 1t ha,
been said by several of his friends
who have access to the newspapers
that he went into this war not only
very reluctantly, but with green spec
tacles on. Willing as l am to. deal
generously with him, and to forgive
him each and every one of his sins,
and to send him out into the world to
seek atonement for them, ! cannot
share this opinion. And for the reason
that happened to know Mr.. Davis in
the summer of 1850, when he was the
moving spirit OF a convention OF
Sire EATERS" that assembled togeth-
er in Nashville, Tennessee. And II
have slight recollection of speech
he made on that occasion, in which
separation by arms was urged, and no
love for the Union advanced
We are amazed to find the foregoing
extract from a catch penny volume
published by Federal officer, repro
duced in Southern newspapers without
word of dissent or correction.
The truth is, no man ever had a
more profound generation for the
American Union as it was established
by the fathers, than Mr.. Davis; and
his enemies will search the records of
Congress, while he was member of
that body, and they will fail to find q
syllable he ever uttered, or vote he
ever cast, Incompatible with his obi
cations to the Constitution.
1t is not true that he instigated the
Nashville Convention. Nor was he
member of that body. 1t was held on
the motion of a meeting in jackson,
Mississippi, in whose proceedings he
did not participate, and which was
presided over by the Hon. WILLIAM
L. SHARKEY, who subsequently presi-i
ded over the Nashville Convention at
its first session. In his address to
the Mississippi Convention, Judge
Sharkey employed the following Ian
guage:

The Nashville Election.

We publish all the correspondence which has
been made public bearing upon the disputed points
of the late Nashville election, between the late
Mayor and Gen. Thomas, and Thomas and Grant,
and Gov. Brownlow and Gen. Cooper.
As between individuals, the Governor took ne
part and die nothing which any man has right to
charge as 'unwarrantabe interference in The local
affairs of Nashville" What the Governor did land
for this he offers no apology was to enforce the
Franchise law Of the State. In what he did he is
sustained by the decision of the Supreme Court and
the opinion of able loyal lawyers. Of course a
member of the rebel military board of Isham G.
Harris will, like Neill S. Brown, say the Cover
nor's action has been unconstitutional. The Gov
ernor has the "dead-wood" on the deceased pestife
rous rabel Mayor Brown
The ni5n who supposed the Governor would per-
NIT Matt. Brown to trample upon the authority of
the State Government, or, more properly speaking
tho laws of ire State have not that reverence for
the Constitution which good citizens should possess
and which has governed the action of Generals
Grant and Thomas and the Governor. In this con-
necticn We will say that the leading Republican
journals all over tho country such ss the New
York Tribune and Cincinnati Gazstte, fully endorse
and approve Of all the Governor has done in this
matter at Nashville.

Election Of Mayor in Nashville.

The day before the election for Mayor in
Nashville on Saturday last, w Matt Brown
and NJ G. Cotton, Conservatives, formally
withdrew Seeing they would be defeated)
from the contest, and the track was left to
two Radicals, Maj. A. e. Alden and FL. G.
Scovell.
The whole vote cast was, for Alden,
2,423; Scovell, 258; Brown, not in tho
race, and Baudy, 1.
The newly elected Mayor of Nashville is
a good and true man He is an honorable
gentleman Of irreproachable character. We
have no doubt that, under the administra-
ton of Mayor Alden, the Capital City will
be properly governed 1t could not but be
an Improvement on the decentralization
of Matt Brown, the late Mayor Mr.. SEQ
veil, the defeated opponent of Mayor Alden,
is a most excellent citizen and gentleman.
