An Electoral Ticket.

4 large number Of our exchanges
in thi. State have, for the past three
months, been continually harping
upon the question Of an electoral
ticket for Mississippi The people at
large, also, seem 20 think that wc
must haze a ticket whether We can
or not. We utterly fail to see the
utility Of arguing this question. If
the people O. this State think they
AN hold an election over the bayonets
of an uncompromi,ing and irrespon-
,iblc despoiism, let them proceed.
We dcplore the state Of affairs which
o1is; a much a any one, but have
been satisfied from the first that we
would not be allowed an electoral

Executive Committee, forgetting the
dignity Of their position, and the
pride OF their state, crouchei At the
teot OF Gram bY asking his permits
sion TO hold an election. Did the
Committee think Grant, tho man who
stole W. II. Cox's silver set at Holly

fine furniture at Corinth-who is the
author Of numbcrlcss Indian
papooscs in Caliiornia-and whose
present little boy rides a pony stolen
from this part Of the country, would
allow us TO hold an election when he

Of fifty thousand We hope the
Committee may never hear from that
communication in any way. We
do not sec how men can be guilty Of
asking a dcspot to do an unconstitu-
iional thing, when they themselves
are sworn 10 support that Constitu-
tion. With Grants pcrmission, even,
the election, il held, would be illegal
and a searching farce. We would

The Nashville election resulted in
the election Of Alden, Radical, BY a
majority of 523. The Banner says
it was one by "the grossest fraud,
treachery, and open rascality of the
ring masters, by the importation Of
hundreds Of strange negroes, who
swarmed into the city the night pre-
%vious, bearing torches and pistols,
from the places where they had been
quartercd in close proximity to the
suburbs; by the secret issuance Of
certificates; by the filling of blanks
by wholesale in the streets, in stable
lofts, and in the out-houscs Of the
black-slums' during the election the
exclusion Of legal votes; the with
holding of certificates to voters enti-
tied to them, and the general unfair
ness of the whole disgraccful proceed

We learn from Washington, says
the Louisville Courier, that the state
ment for September will exhibit an
increase in the public debt of from a
million and a half TO two millions,
and perhaps more, the result of the
enormous expenses incident to re-
construction. Thus il goes on from
month to month. The national debt
is already mountain high, and Radi-
cal policy is constantly adding to il.
When we consider the purposes for
which the burden of taxation, already
well nigh too grievons TO be borne,
is thus being constantly augmented,
we almost wonder that the people do
not rise in their might and their
wrath, and hurl from power the UNI
scrupulous partisans who are thus
loading them with taxes that they
may take from them their liberties.

Immisratien In . Sanitary Point Of View.
We published yesterday . very interesting
article on the statistics Of immigration, which,
in sanitary point Of view, Is of much moment
1t appears that the mortality on sailing vessels
is much greater than In steamers in proportion
to the number Of passengers. This can hardly
be accounted for by the greater length of time
occupied ON the voyage, because the cases of
sickness and death on the immigrant ships and
on the steamers are altogether disproportionate
with the difference in time. 1t is evident,
then, that there is something wrong in the sys-
tenn which should be looked after by the proper
authorities. The statistics alluded to show
that while the number of immigrants coming
here In the steerage part Of the steamers was
for the past two months as thirty-eight thou
sand to little over eleven thousand in sailing
vessels, yet the deaths on board the latter
amounted to ninety -one, against thirty-one on
board the steamers. This can only be &C
counted for by the negligence and indifference
Of the shipowners and masters. We have
very stringent laws regulating, or supposed to
regulate, immigration but these returns would
seem to prove that they remain idle on the
statute book.
The government Of North Germany has
despatched consular agent to this country to
look into the interests of German immigrants.
1t is the duty of our government to see that the
whole system of immigration is conducted in
such manner as that those who are contribut-
Ing to the population, the wealth and proflta-
BILE industry Of the country are insured COM
Portable passages in our immigrant ships, and at
the same time that the public health in the
ports at which they land shall be protected.

some 1t may appear iuexplicable. To us IT
appears as very clever Offset to the peace
assurances so industriously but SO inconsist-
emily set forth by the French government
Prussia has said nothing; but this simple fact
is worth thousand speeches, and if France
does not follow the example which her rival
has set her Napoleon will have to bear the
odium Of threatening the peace of Europe
Bismarck has again put Napoleon in fix.
1t will be interesting to watch how he will act
in the circumstances. The solution, by ex-
PLANTATION or action, must come soon.

The President and the Tennessee Lesisla-
tive Committee.
AT the final interview of the Tennessee
legislative committee with the President on
Saturday Mr.. Johnson informed them that
he had given their application mature
consideration, and had concluded to instruct
Major General Thomas to furnish whatever
force of federal troops may be found neces-
sary to aid their civil officers in protecting
the citizens Of Tennessee and to assist in
maintaining the supremacy of the State gov
eminent. Orders to this effect were at once
sent to General Thomas. Whatever may be
thought of the exaggerated accounts which the
political parson who happens to be the Cover
nor Of Tennessee has chosen to give of the
state of afeirs in that State it is manifest that
the President is convinced of the necessity of
pursuing the same course in Tennessee which
he pursued in Louisiana. The alacrity and
energy which he has exhibited in the case of
each Of these States must be recognized by
men of all parties. As COMMANDMENTS chief Of
the army he could do no less and no more
than he has done in both cases and is evidently
determined to do in all similar cases. Under
all circumstances it is clear that he means con-
scientiously to do his duty as President of the
United States. The Tennessee legislative
committee are highly elated at the success of
their undertaking, and feel assured that with
army the work of intimidation which they say
is now being extensively carried on in Middle
and Western Tennessee will be restrained.
This work of intimidation is alleged to be
actively carried on elsewhere throughout the
South and Southwest but it certainly must
have been suspended in New Orleans while
the great republican demonstration was in IN
interrupted progress there last Saturday even
ing; for the Geographic despatch from the
Crescent City which we published yesterday
morning stated that the whites generally re-
manned in their houses and the democratic
clubs universally agreed to remain away from
their club rooms and off the streets. This
wise avoidance of possible occasions for colli-
sion and disturbance cannot be too highly COM
mended. The expulsion on Saturday of two
colored Senator'S from the Georgia Legislature
provoked only respectful protest on their
part. The Georgians are evidently resolved to
resist the claim of colored candidates as repre-
sentatives Of the people until Congress shall
decide to enforce it. But If Congress can en-
force it in Georgia what shall prevent their
enforcing it in every State Of the Union? 1t
lis to be hoped that in due time the violence of
partisan spirit will be moderated throughout
the country, both North and South, and that
the United States will enter upon the unob-
structed career of prosperity which is pro-
missed by the future. Meanwhile 1t is crafty
ing to know that our Chief Magistrate il bent
upon doing all in his power to sllay the IN
happy agitation which still prevails as oonse-
guence of our late civil war.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1868-09-14

From these figures II will be seen that while
the democratic vote for Governor last year
was within few hundreds Of their vote Of 1864
presidential year), the republican vote was
nearly five thousand short, and nearly twelve
thousand short Of their vote of 1866, when they
fought the campaign directly upon the
constitutional amendment known as article
fourteen, and now part of the consti-
tuition. In 1867, in consequence Of the
departure of the radicals in Congress from the
policy OF this amendment TO their stringent
military governments in the South and uni
versal negro suffrage by compulsion, 1t will be
observed that the reaction which eliminated
in the last New York November election began
in Maine. Now, however, with that amend
ment In the supreme law, and with the nomi-
nation OF Seymour on the platform that all the
reconstruction doings of Congress are ''uncon-
stitutional, revolutionary, null and void" the
shaping of the battle against Grant Is just
what the republicans desired to recover the
ground lost in the elections Of 1867. SO far
from the elections In Vermont and Whining
ton, Del, and In the Territories Of Colorado
and New Mexico, which are ell that have 90
