FROM Observation-Disclosures received
by the Governor of Mississippi of lawleSs
conspiracies among negroes, instigated by
white men for the purposes of murder and
plunder, has been of such character as
to cause him to feel authorized to issue a
proclamation warming those engaged in
these combinations to desist from them at
once, on the penalty Of being promptly and
summarily dealt with. The step taken
meets the approval of General Ord, who
will exercise the military force to aid the
civil authorities in preserving the peace
and bringing any who may prove to be
guilty to punishment.

THE EUROPEAN GRAIN TRADE. - The
enormous expectation of grain from Hun
gary continues without diminution. A
letter from Pesth, dated 2Sth ultimo, says
the steamers and grain ships of the Danube
take advantage Of the last days which re-
main to take their cargoeS up the river,
and the railways are even more busy. The
grain all goes to Bodenbach, which is the
great centre from which it is sent on to
France, Hamburg, and England. The
demand seems to increase rather than d.

BEAST BUTLER AND WARDwELL.-Gene-
raj Ben. Butler intends taking tour
through the South. Wardwell, of Rich
mond, has expressed himself as ready to
receive him at the depot with grand ova-
ton, participated in by 1000 negroes
Among the various conjectures as to the
object of his visit, one is that he intends to
make permanent division in the Republi,
can party by putting himself forward as
the representative of the negroes and ex-
tremists, and thus, as he thinks, indirectly
aid the election of the Democratic ticket
and Grants defeat.-Neao York Herald.

The following resolutions were
adopted by a large meeting, which re-
nnntl,t nnnnrn I,lod Of Eluton.

The following resolutions were
adopted by a large meeting, which re-
Gently assembled, at Elyton:
l. Resolved, That we heartily and sincere
ly desire to see speedy and complete restor-
alton of the Union and see permanent civil
government re-established throughout the
entire country at the earliest practicable pc
Rod, and as the most certain means of secu-
ring these desired ends, we hold it to be the
duty of all good citizens to accept in good
faith the terms of restoration proposed in
the recent act of Congress known as the
Military bill.
.. Resolved, That the policy of mastery
inactivity or passive submission can, as we
think, do no good, and may do much harm.
The general adoption of6this policy will be
regarded, whether so intended or not, as ex-
hibiting an indifference on the part of our
people TO the restoration of the Union, and
will lead to further acknowledgements and
may end in the confiscation of the property
of large number of our citizens To avoid
these results, as well,as to restore quiet and
confidence to the country, we consider it to
be the duty of all to participate actively in
the measures of reorganization required by
the provisions of the military bill and the
bill supplementary thereto.
3. Resolved, That while we deem it entire
ly proper for the people at all times to as
semble in primary meetings TO consider and
discuss measures relating TO the public well
fare, We nevertheless earnestly deprecate all
that may be made to stir up strife
and excite dissentions because of past OF
present political differences We advocate
and Cancellation among all classes
4. Resolved, That q committee of four be
appointed by the chairman 10 select nine !
to represent the Union men Of this !
county in the Convention 20 be held in the |
city Of Montgomery, on the = day Of June
next.

The New York Times recently
charged that the National Intelligencer
was urging the South to reject recon
struction under the Congressional act.
This the Intelligencer denounces as a
"falsehood." The st. Louis Republi-
can says such misrepresentation are
"put forward for the purpose of foster
ing in the minds of Northern Conser-
vatives and in the Southern mind
hostility to the reconstruction act, and
a resolution not to comply with any
of its provisions. Radicals would be
very happy to see such a resolution
develope itself, for then, with "South-
ern loyalists" and negroes, they could
readily acquire political control fthe
ten excluded States, frame their Con-
stitutions and determine the question
of political power for generation"

An important fact to be considered
in this connection is that large num-
Der Of the negroes will not be able to
vote at the coming elections by reason
of their not having acquired a legal
residence in the place where they may
chance to be at the time that such
elections may be held. The Recon
struction bill provides that all male cit
liens of each State, twenty-one years
of age and upwards, may vote "who
have been residents in said State for
one year previous to the day of such
election" This provision will exclude
from the polls large proportion of
the negroes, for since the war very
many of them have wandered about
from State to State The general
drift of this emigration has been
southwark, SO thatvwhile Virginia,
South Carolina, North Carolina and
Georgia have lost many thousands of
their negro population, that of Ala
bama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi,
and particularly Texas, has materially
increased.

PROCEEDINGS TO TEST THE CONSTITUTION
Atty OF THE MILITARY RECONSTRUCTION
Active present in another column the
bill filed by Governor Sharkey and r. j.
Walker, in the Supremt Court of the United
States, asking for an injunction to restrain
the President and Gen. Ord from executing
the Military Reconstruction bill, and sup
plement. The case of the ten Southern
States is strongly stated in this bill, from the
Northern standpoint. We do not think that
the present Supreme Court will grant the
injunction or that, if il did. il would have
any material effect upon the Radical Con-
gress, backed as il is by a majority Of the
Northern people. So our people had better
register themselves and vote, and pay but
little attention to these prOceedings.-Me
