these times, strikes us as being alto
gether inadequate to meet those
expenses, let alone what might be
fairly demanded, from a neighboring
State for the educational training OF
her unfortunates. Mississippi should,
and perhaps may do better than that
whenever the circumstances calling
for a more liberal action in the
premises, on her part, are properly
laid before her. She ought not, in
reason, to expect to saddle upon a
sister State any unremunerative out
lay for the benefit of those objects
which legitimately demand the full
exercise Of her own bounty and be-
nevolence.

sS The Natchez Daily Courier,
of the 18th ult., says: 1.-THE apathy
that prevails at the South with re-
gard to all that once interested its
people, was never better manifested
than in the special election that took
place yesterday. A member of the
Legislature was to be chosen to fill a
vacancy, and from a county which
in point Of former material wealth,
capital employed and taxes paid,
We'd with the first in the State.
The Office actually went SO far a
begging, that no one was announced
a candidate; several gentlemen posi-
lively refused the use of their names !;
and not the slightest interest was
evinced as to whether the county
was represented at all"

IMPORTANT DEClsloN.-An i'm.
portant decision was not long since
rendered by Judge Gates, of the
Third Judicial District of Louisiana,
in a suit for the recovery of the price
of a slave. The concluding portion
of the Judges remarks in this decis-
ion is as follows:
The right Of property in slaves
has ceased to exist as in the feudal
rights, and as in the latter no action
could be instituted to recover the
rents and arrearages due at the time
of the abolition of these rights, SO in
this case, there should be no action
to recover the price due at the time
slavery was abolished.
Equality, reason and common jus.
tice dictate that when the buyer has
been Invested Of his title by the ac-
ton of the State without compensa-
ton, and all laws recognizing the
right Of property in the thing sold
have been abrogated and the vendor
relieved from his obligations, he
should at the same time be denied
his right of action for the recovery
of the price.
The demand was dismissed with
costs.

its republication:

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The tax bill as
| finally passed fixes the cotton tax at "a
| cents per pound.
The Judiciary Committee have reported.
Immediately after the impeachment COM
mittee instructed them, Ashley submitted
the facts to support his charges. The
committee have worked without any
intermission. Their investigation cover
broad grounds but has not approached
completion. The evidence is placed with
the clerk for the use of the committee of
the next Congress. Sufficient evidence
has been gathered to justify and demand
further investigation.
Rogers submits minority report. He
says all proof has been carefully exam
ined, and there is no evidence sustaining
the charges. Impeachment is utterly
foundationless from all the proof which
has been before the Committee, who have
been very industrious. He deprecates fur
ther investigation as tending foollshly to
excite the country.
Gen. Dix is confirmed as Minister to
Paris. and Hugh Ewing as Minister to
the Hague.
The Judiciary Committee reports that
without imputing motives to the officers Of

The majority reorganized and passed reso-
lutions counseling quiet submission, but
characterzing the bill as harsh and unjust,
and approving the noble course of Pres-
dent johnson, and declaring that the
southern people should not barter their
mai hood and honor by accepting the terms
Of the bill. They recommend that the
Southern Governors take steps to test the
constitutionality of the bill.

defence OF SMALL BoNNETs.-
The February number Of the Lady's
Friend comes to the defence of small
bonnets against the assaults of mas
cullne critics. We give our lady
readers the benefit of Mrs. Peterson's
defence: at seems to be taken for
granted, especially by the sex that
do not wear them, that the bonnets
worn this winter do not protect the
head +; but what is Che difference in
this respect between the square of
soft, warm velvet and the stove-pipe
hat! 1t seems the advantage is all
on the side of the fashionable bon
nett covers the head as much,
and is not awkward and cumbrous
with its superAuous height, as is the
queer invention that men have unac-
countably patronized SO long. The
truth is, that the present head-dress
Is about as near the right thing as
possible. Ladies who have album
dant hair, find themselves entirely
comfortable for the first time in MANY
years-perhaps for the very first
time. We cannot now recall any
fashion allowing that glory and
crown of woman, luxuriant hair,
lis full rights. When was there a
time when the bonnet was not in
the way-when its shape did not
necessitate troublesome arranging
and re-arranging of the hair for out
doors and in? 1t is curious that
fashion should experiment for ages,
and not alight by accident, even,
upon the plain, simple thing that
was wanted-an article combining
use and beauty without superhuity."

almost helpless" The preceding

turn ovar any property or records in
their hands, had failed to comply
Herewith. An unassigned state

their treasurer, after some delay,
showing a balance in his hands Of

pended by the present Board, So,

by the former Board.
