The Prussian Parliament is likely, it is
said, to come to logger-heads with the
German Parliament. 1t appears that all
powers bestowed upon the latter are to
be withdrawn from the former, but under
novel restrictions. For example, the
Prussian Parliament loses its control
over the Federal Army, but the German
Parliament only gains il right of revising
that Amy once IN zen years. So, too,
the PrusSlan Chamber cannot resist Fede-
raj taxation, yet the German Chamber
cannot modify it, except at long intervals.
Between the two the EXECUTIVE would
be greatly strengthened and Prussian Lii
beraIs therefore have decided to reject
the Federal Constitution. This quarrel
points to one of two results, the fusion
Of the new Federation into one State, to
be called Germany, with one Parliament;
or a coup d'6t0t, the King supporting his
universal suffrage Chamber against the
refractory Deputies Of his immediate
kingdom. This German revolution has
not worked itself out yet.-bjd.
The Emperor of Austria, forgetting ap-
p%arently that he had just promised to re-
spect the Hungarian Constitution, has
issued o patent establishing anew organic
law of recruiting for the whole empire.
Under its provisions every man through
out the empire becomes at the age Of
twenty liable to be drawn as a conscript,
to serve In the Army for twelve years.
Exemption by purchase is abolished, and
virtually the only exemptions granted
are an absolute one TO priests and q con-
ditional one to undergraduates, who, IT
they behave well, need only, as in Prus-
STA, serve for a single year. The term of
service is to be six years in the Line and
six years in the Reserve, which, as in the
second ban, of which the first only will
usually be called out. This law will give
the Government, it is believed, control
over about 200, 900 men a year, and en-
able them, if they can find the money, to
raise the Army to 100000 men. 1t Is
said not to be very unpopular in Germa-
ny, where the poor have long been dis
contented with exemptions of the rich
but it is declared illegal in Hungary,
where all parties have combined to pre-
sent q protest so strong that it is thought
the Government will give way.-Ibid.
The latest accounts from Mexico report
that the Clerical party, alarmed at the
danger of massacre, have entreated Max
imilian to remain, and promised him
5%,OOO,O O0I. sterling. He has, therefore,
returned to his capital, but it appears,
from a letter addressed by him to his
Council, that he thinks himself an obsta-
Gle to a good arrangement, but will await
the result of another appeal to the peo-
pie. Should they honestly choose him,
he will face all dangers, but should they
not, he will help TO organize the govern
ment they do choose, and so avert anar-
chy to the utmost of his power. There
is magnanimity in this course, and SO di-

EXECUTIVE oFFICEl
JACKSON. MISS. April 6. 1854

WHEREAS, much painful anxiety and appre-
| hension exists in the public mind, resulting
| from the passage of the 'tMilitarY Bill" by Con-
gress, and the General Order or General Ord
in assuming command of the "Military Dis
triet Of Mississippi and Arkansas" and
whereas, in some instances, the regular admin
istration Of the State Government has been UNI
settled to such an extent as to cause some of
the officers of the State TO suspend the functions
Of their Offices and many citizens are hes
itating, while others refuse, to pay their taxes
upon the assumed ground that the Tax Col
lectors are not competent officers" and there
fore are not authorized to receipt for the same;
and as other evils and Irregularities may arise
from the uncertainty that exists as to the du-
ties and responsibilities Of officers and citizens
of the State in their present situation-there-
fore, deem it proper to make known that the
Act OF Congsess commonly called the military
Billo recognizes the civil existing Government
of the State. 1t is true it is declared to be pro-
visional only and in all respects subject to
the paramount authority Of the United States
at any time to abolish, modify, control or
supercede the same. But until a change is
made in accordance with the provisions Of
this law, 1 hereby give NOTICE to the Civil
Officers Of the State that their relations and
responsibilities to the Constitution OF the Uni
ted States, to the State Of Mississippi and b
the PEOPLE, remain unchanged, and they will
be held to a strict accountability for the per-
Torrance of their duties, in carrying out the
provisions Of the laws. for the maintenance Of
the civil Government, and Tor the Iuli and am |
pie protection Of an classes Of inhabitants OF
the State. both white and black. in all Of their |

Editor Apscrican.-Last Sabbath was
rather an interesting day in our village.
Sometime ago few Of the members Of
the Mt. Carmel NJ. Il. Sunday School con-
cluded to donate to the Church with which
the School is connected a new Bible and
Hymn Book. On last Sabbath morning
the presentation occurred in the presence
of large audience. After an appropriate
prayer by c. Barlow Esq, and the sing
ing Of suitable hymn, Miss Lizzie Rich
mond, on behalf of the several donors,
presented the beautiful books. and in so
doing made few sensible, beautiful aud
appropriate remarks. The books we're
received by the Pastor in behalf of the
Church, and hearty thanks returned to
the donors. Z.

Who Gave Him the Power2

"Yain man, clothed in n little brief authority,
Cuts such faptasiic tricks before high Heaven
As would make the angels weep"
Our School Examiner issued a call last
month, or rather a Bull Ia the Pope, up
on pain of accommodation; in other
words, commanding the School Teacher:
of Franklin County to report at Brook
vile, Monday, Dec. Oath, 1866, at 10 o..
clock 4. NJ. for the purpose Of holding an
Institute, and if they failed 10 attend
their license to teach would be revoked, 81
course no odds what their qualifications
we're for teaching the young idea how tc
shoot. A goodly number obeyed the call
but few, not having he fear of the ''ani
mule" before their eyes, preferred to re.
main at homo for reasons OF their own
The Examiner, true to his promise, mott.
fed the stay.at-home kind that they may
consider themselves discharged unless Q
good and sufficient excuse could be given
and accepted by him, (the Examiner.)
Now, where does he find any law fol
such action? The Legislature has failed
to make any. The County Commission
ers, who we acknowledge are Of nigh
and power. can make School Examiners
&c. Don't say they didn't make good
one this timo-,couid not insinuate thai
they are not experts in that life-they
being thoroughly and profoundly educated
themselves. Bat with all their power they
cannot make school laws. The Institute
with all its assembled wisdom, cannot leg.
islate teachers out Of existence because
they don't see &c TO meet with il on all
occasions. IL has no power to make laws
conflicting with the State laws.
Section 80, School Law, provides for
the Commissioners appointing School Ex'
amners and dismssing them for immoral.
ity, incompelency or general neglect Of
duty, but he is entitled to hearing when
charges arc preferred. II the Commits
sioners find him guilty Of any of the above
they may discharge him. but for nothing
save those three causes.
Section SO provides for tho revocation
of licenses Of teachers-for incompetency
immortality, cruelty aud general neglect Of
school. For these causes, or any one OF
them, license may be revoked, and ion
nothing else. The same cause that would
warrant the discharge of the Examiner
woald also warrant the revocation Of a
teachers license.
So we find no written law to justify this
recent act Of our Examiner Let US see
if there can be anything else to justify it.
Sections 1853 and leo provide for clos
ing the Common Schools during the time
the Institute IS in session. Also, that If
an average attendance Of twenty five
teachers 10 shown, the Examiner eau draw

teachers attend, he can draw $50. Now,
who blsmes him for levying little black

III short, l am warranted in saying that
all licenses revoked for non atte ndance at
the Institute, is without warrant Of law,
and therefore the act of the Examiner is
null aud void. School officers, like 9th.
ers, are placed in position to administer
the laws as they are, not as they may think
they should be. / don't know but the
Examiner may revoke my license for this.
