THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.
Gen. GiIIem's Report Thereoa.--
Gen. Gillem has submitted to
Gen. Grant the report of his
action as regards the condition
OF Mississippi under the recon
struction acts. He states the
result of the late election: For
the constitution, DC, 231; against
it. 63,SOO, being a majority
against the constitution of T.
629. Gen. Gillem says
"As is generally the case in
elections, fraud is charged by
both parties. All reports and
complaints bearing on the sub
ject are herewith transmitted
for the consideration of the
proper authorities, merely re-
marking that | am satisfied the
election was as fair aud free
from intimidation or the influ-
ence of fraud as it would be
possible to effect under existing
circumstances, and that no I'M
due influence was exercised at
the polls. If intimidation was
used at all, it was beyond the
power of the military to reach
it. As the defeat of the consti-
tuition renders it possible that
the State may for a time re-
main under military control, /
consider it my duty to call at
tention to the almost impossi-
bility of finding persons to fill
vacancies in civil offices who
possess the necessary attain
ments and who can qualify I'M
der existing laws. | would
therefore commend thatsection
nine of theact of July 10, 1867,
be SO modified as to render eli
gible to office persons on the
list of registered and qualified
voters tofill vacancies which
exist or may occur in civil Off
ces, State or municipal"

WHY Grant ISSUED HIS


ORDER AGAINST THE jaws
lie thought oae-eight aC0S greater
than ORe-fourth.-Th The Baliston
Democrat, referring to the Or
der issued by Gen. Grant pro-
hbiting the admission of Isra-
elites within the lines to traffic
with the soldiers, says:
AT the time alluded to o
prominent jew cotton dealer of
Cincinnati made a bargain with
Grant for thegetting out of 500
bales of cotton from the Black
River country, assisted by the,
I'd Wisconsin Cavalry. The
jew offered, as was the custom,
one-fourth of theprofits. Grant
wanted more, and at last the
Jew offered an eigtb, which
Grant accepted. The cotton
was got, out and shipped to
Memphis and sold.
The Jew, faithful to his prom
Use, met Grant with the proceeds
OF the sale, and gave the Cen
eral one-eighth of the profits
and departed. Grants Adju-
tant General, surprised at the
smallness OF the profits, spoke
to the General about it, who
was so exasperated on learning
that one-eighth was less than
one-fourth, that he within that
hour issued the orderexpelling
all Jews from the lines, and to
this day has never forgiven the
entire race for his own stupid
ty."

row, scalawag sheriff of Beaufort
CO., S. C., left the keys of the Jail
in the doors of that institution,
and went out Of town, leaving his
negro deputy in charge of affairs.
Of course he knew what the re-
suit would be, and he was not
disappointed, for he had scarcely
turned his back when the doors
were thrown open and all the
prisoners (negroes) marched out
in the open light of day. Among
them was one who was convicted
of rape and sentenced to be hung.

Il have now myself been in

sylvania, Marylandand Delaware,
and can say with truth that
among the Democratic masses no
nominations have been made Gor
years which are received with so
much satisfaction, and that l have
never known a time when among
the masses there was such uniyer-
sal confidence in success. Moth
ing now is needed but combined
wisdom and holiness in planning
and conducting the campaign
G. L. Vallindingham, of Ohio.
We have found out since the
war, fellow soldiers, what the
Summers, the Wilson's and the
Buffers meant by the war. They
were afraid of Southern States
and Southern Statesmen. If it
was not for fear of terrible TRACE
dy, Congressional action would be
amOnstrOus farce. Even the walls
of the structure which they have
erected, would have tobe propped
on the outside by Northern bayo
nets. On the Sd of November
next the American people will
determine to restore those Stases
to their Constitutional rights
Should this by any possibility fail,
the white population of those
States may succeed in placing
themselves i'm possession of their
Governments. Otherwise, as sure
as Anglo Saxon blood runs in the
veins of Southern men, there will
be an upheaval of civil war, and
then should Congress sustain the
blacks ashes will cover the ruins
Ofthe whole Republic. Is this the
peace of which Gen. Grant speaks!
