AMALGAMATION OF RACES.
We have thus seen that the late slaves of
/ the State are to be exalted TO all the offices,
| honors and emoluments, and hold in their
| power all the appointments and patronage
| OF the State. They are also, by express pro
| vision, thrust into all the public convey
ances and places of entertainment. and thus
socially, as well as civilly and politically,
| elevated above the educated, refined, chris
| tian, and heretofore governing class.
/ The school lands and educational tunds
are all appropriated to this same system of
| forcibly uniting and mingling the negroes
among the whites i'll all the public and prl-
vate affairs of life from the cradle to the
! grave:
To complete this bill of denominations, 1T
| contains no prohibition against lntermar-
| riage between the black and white races
| This, j suppose is intended as charitable
condescension and privilege extended to the
| inferior and degraded white race to enable
/ them in the course of coming generations TO
| approach the Convention standard OF negro
| superiority and supremacy. Was there ever
a more disgusting and criminal compound OF
/ amalgamatiOn, miscegenatlon, and TAXA
| tion
| INCREASE OF SALARIED OFFICERS.
| A Board of Public Works with salaried
officers at the will of the Legislature,
| Lieutenant Governor, Commissioner OF
| Emigration, Superintendent of Public
| Education, with swarm of new and here
| tofore unknown officers, detectives and spies
| to be appointed at the will of the Legislature
are also provided for in this amazing paper,
| prolific as it is with ingenious devices to rob
| the best people of the State of all that Is
| honorable, respectable or valuable in life.
JUDICIARY APPOINTED.
In the Judicial Department, the elective
system is abolished, and the Judges of the
| Supreme Court are appointed by the Gov
ernnr for nine years and the Circuit Judges
| for six years.
/ The Boards of Police are abolished and
/ replaced by a new system of supervisors.
| The Probate Courts are abolished and that
| Jurisdiction conferred on a separate Chan-
| cery Court, which is also establshed-a
| greviOus outrage on the rights OF WIDOWS
! and orphans, whose expenses will be enor-
| mously increased and their business tnere-
| by delayed dd intenitum.
| No property qualification is required Tor
| Jurors in any case, thereby permitting land
cases to be adjudicated by negro paupers TO
the injury of the landowners.
! NO EDUCAT ONAL QUALIFICATION
| FOR NEGROES FOR q YEARS.
! Although an enormous furd is to be raised
| out of the property of the white race to
! force the education of the negroes In the
same schools with the whites, no education
al qualification is required for rOters or jurors
| and by the wholesale disfranchisenent of
| the whites the liberties of the people Will
! be in the hands of the ignorant negroes who
| are sworn in the Loyal Leagues tn be the
| political slaves of their Radical masters
| By the terms of this Constitution, no
| amendment of the same can be made re-
| quring an educational qualification, or even
| au Intelligent understanding for voters, un-
til the year eighteen hundred and eighty
| five. The barbarous motive here displayed
| is palpable. The registered negro vote is In
| the majority. They are ignorant, and likely
| to remain so in despite of the unsought hon
| Ors and emoluments thrust upon them
! They have no capacity whatever for govern
! ment, and these Loyal League manipulators
and kidnappers will necessarily be the chief
| recipients of the hOnors and emOluments of
| the Sta tie for period Oftwenty-seven years
| in other words life estate for the Conven-
| tion carpet baggers For this horrible
| period we shall have the unbridled reign of
! ignorance over knOwledge-vice over virtue,
| and crime over innocence.
| BARBAROUS PENAL CODE-EX POST
FACTO LAW.
| In short the felonious designs of Ben.
| Butler & Co, entrusted for execution to the
| ''drop-shot- gang" of the late federal Amy,
! whose special duty IL was to despoil the
| Southern States to the last point of human
| endurance, crops out in bold relief from all
| parts of this, the most ingenious, audaclOus
| and barbarous cOntTivance ever devised as
| form of government for civilized people
1t is falsely and fraudulently denominated
| "a form of civil government 1t is simply
| a barbarous penal code for the punishment
of the white race of Mississippi, because
| they had the manly courage to assert their
| constitutional rights against the corrupt
| usurpations of the Radical party in Con-
| gress and when driven to the wall, to main
| tain the principles of TIE Constitution of
| United States by force of arms. 1t is Grim
| inal legislation after the fact creating pO-
| litical offences, and providing punishments
| therefor never before known, and is in di-
rect violation of that clause of the Constitu-
tion of the United States, which prohibits
er post fdcto laws.
COST OF COVENTION-TAXAT
The Convention was guilty of the most
unblushing and corrupt extravaganza alike
in the per diem of its members-its apprO-
prations to political presses established at
the expense of the people for its own uses
its allowance of eXtOrtlonate printing bills
at the rate of $4,000 for job worth only
s. 600 at most-tne extension of it's session
from period of three days. all sufficient for
it's legitimate purposes, to one hundred and
thirty three days, and by all these corrupt
devices taxing tie already over burdened
and exhausted people to the estimated
amount of quarter of million of dollars,
to be Immediately collected, and if not paid
to be enforced by the military power of the
United States now present among us.
LOYAL LEAGUE CONVENTION.
Last though not least in the black cata-
| logue of its Infamous devices is the evident
| adaptation of all the governmental powers
and official patronage of the proposed gov
ernment to the political ascendency of the
Loyal Leagues, composed as they are chiefly
of negroes sworn under the pains and penal
ties of perjury. as are reliably informed,
| to support tte cir brethren of the Convention
| in all their measures. Having disfranchsed
| a large portion of the white vote by requir-
| ing an oath which few men can take, and
enfranchised the negroes who are in the ma
| iority of registered voters, and sworn them
| to vote the Radical ticket, the seizure OF the
| political power and revenues of the State,
and the adoption of sueh legislation as will
perpetuate their negro despotislns, is, to
their minds, an accomplished fact. They
boast of twenty thousand majority with
| brazen and defiant confidence. and feel no
