THE RADICAL DEFEAT IN MISSISSIPPI.

1t would appear that the carpet-bag Consti-
tuition has been defeated in AIississippi-and
10y the opposition of colored voters. This
happens too late for the radicals in Congress
to stop their omnibus, and takein Mississippi
by an enabling clause, similar to the one
which ove1ruled the will of majority of
voters in the case OF Alabama, and decreed
the adoption of the carpet bag Constitution
in the latter State by minority vote. If
they expect to use Mississippi in the presi-
dental election, they must pass a separate
bill to establish the carpet bag organization
which they need for that purpose. But
here the question occurs, can they de-
pend upon the colored vote in Mis-
sissippi going for Grant? If the carpet
baggers failed to carry their Constitu-
ton by reason Of the opposition of colored
voters, is there not still stronger probability
that they will fail to carry the Grant radical
ticket in that State by reason of the same op-
position? We can come to no other conclu-
sion when we consider that in the presidential
election the negroes will have no direct and
peculiar interest involved, as they had in the
recent election to decide upon Constitution
which was carefully shaped to win their votes
by appealing to their sense of interest and
hope of aggrandizement And this suggests
question of still wider scope and still grayer
import for the President-making legisla-
tors at Washington. Can they count, with
comfortable assurance, on the adequate
support of their Presidential ticket by the
colored voters in Louisiana, Alabama or
Georgia, or any other State lugged in under
carpet-bag Constitution, since the colored
vote of Mississippi has so disappointed their
expectations? While the omnibus bill was
yet under discussion, one of the radical
journals in the North strongly objected to it
that it would afford no such assurance, but,
on the contrary, would give the Democrats
an opportunity TO turn against the radical
candidate the very engine invented to hoist
him into the Presidency. 1t certainly cannot
be said, seeing what has Just been done by
] colored voters in Mississippi, that such an

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

The inaugural message of Mayor Conway
is a well-written paper, and breathes senti-
ments which are highly opposite to the cir
cumstaDces in which the new city government
is inaugurated. The greater part of it is very
properly devoted to the subject of improving
the financial condition, and elevating the de-
pressed credit of the city, He does not state,
however, what particular measures he deems
requisite for effecting this reform. 1t were
reasonably to be expected of one who unhesi-
tatingly dismisses as inadequate all remedies
which had been proposed by others, as Mayor
Conway does in this instance, that he would
exhibit some remedy of his own for imme-
date application to the evil
Without indicating any specific policy or
theory in respect to the financial situation,
he proposes that commission of twelve citi-
zens, financial experts, be constituted to
assist the council in extricating the city
finances from confusion and clearing the way
for such measures of reform as the case may
demand and admit. After all, the great thin
i'll this connection is to restore and maintain
public confidence in the fidelity, capacity,
zeal and efficiency of the city government, in
both its executive and Legislative depart
ments. This done, the worst evils of the
financial situation would be swept away, and
the financial problem would be already half
solved. We are pleased to perceive that
Mayor Conway lays due emphasis on this in-
dispensable condition.
