.RsuRp mILIFAsY TYRANNY.

The Natchez (Miss.) Democrat re-
ports the following case Of petty military
tyranny
The most utterly absurd piece Of petty
military tyranny we have ever yet heard
or read Of was enacted on Main street, in
this city, yesterday. VIM. I. Hewitt,
ESQ, while walking quietly along the
street, attending to his business, and
doubtless congratulating himself upon his
recent escape from the tyranps strong
grasp, was aecosted by a Federal Lieu
tenant in full regimentals, who informed
him that the hat he (Mr. Hewitt) was
then wearing, must be changed, because
It had the number "l67" branded upon
it by the authorities ofthe State Peniten-
tiary the Lieutenant further stated he
was acting under order Of the post com
mander. Mr. Hewitt, in view Of the fact
that the hat was his own property, pur-
chased and paid for by him, and believing
he had a perfect right to wear it with as
many and as few numbers as he pleased,
declined to obey the order. Whereupon
he was informed by the Lieutenant that
unless he changed the hat, he (the Lieu
tenant) had orders to convey him to the
fort a prisoner. Mr.. Hewitt finally, at
the earnest solicitation OF his friends,
| Welded to the power of the bayOnet, and
Changed his hat, rather than be so soon
again involved in a difficulty with the
miItsrY.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
n Il ~ ID IN n . l1lH1-Es1E-
A Washington letter writer speaks o

Washington letter writer speaks oil
the Presidents message as follows:
President johnson, in his annual mes
sage, will congratulate himself upon the
fact that it is to be his last. He says no
man has ever surrendered official resPOn-
sibility, with a moiety of the pleasure
with which he will vacate the preslden~
tial chair, His message will indicate at
length the past policy of his admlnis.ra-
ton, not for convincing those to whom 1t
is addressed, but to place on record full
vindication of his official action.
The message reviews the reconstruction
acts, and compares the reconstruction
policyo Congress with the policy of his
administration as viewed in the light OF
the constitution as well az upon their in
trinsic merits, as plans for restoring peace
and prosperity to a distracted country.
President johnson is better satisfied than
ever Of the wisdom Of the plan of restora-
ton which he proposed, and says that time
has tended to establish the fallacy OF con
gressionaI reconstruction. Referring to
the general shock which the constitution
had received at the hands Of the dominant
party, he cites cases of tyranny and out
rage which were its necessary results
This portion Of the message closes with
an eloquent appeal to the American peo
pie to stand by the Union of the States
but at the same time not to forget that tn
constitution is the sheetSanchOr Of thei
freedom.

Hon. Abner A. Steele, the Democratic
Eleetor in the fourth districs, il, according
to the official returns, The only one elected

State. His majority over the Hon. Thos
HI. Caldwell, Elector of the Republicans
ticket, is about 1900 votes.
According to the intent and meaning Of
| article ii, section |, of the Constitution OF
the United States, the E!ecior chosen IL a
Congressional district Of State has the
right to cast the vote of such district for
Presiden. and Vice President of the
United States. The whole voting popula-
ton Of the district rest in hiD, the right
and Independent discretion, where he is not
pledged to them in favor Of particular can
didates, to cast one vote, their vote for
President aud Vice President. Really,
the Elector so chosen, is independent and
can cast his vote for whom he desires,
always keeping in mind his faith to the
constituents who elected him, add their
beet interests and wishes, that might arise
in a presidential election by Electors
chosen by the people. They invest in him
fall power aud discretion, az citizen, and

The action of State Legislatures in re-
curing the whole Electoral vote of State
to be cast in conformity with the votes of
a majority of the State, thus destroying
the Independence of the Electors and dis
regarding the voice of particular electoral
districts, il not in our opinion, founded on
the article and section Of the constitution
referred to, but in az abuse of the power
given to the State, " to appoint in such
manner as the Legislature thereof may
direct, a number of Electors equal to the
whole number of Senators and Represen-
tatiVes to which the State may be entitled
in the Congress-"
Much more might be said On this i'm
portant subject, bat enough Is brought BE-
fore the public mind to invoke thought,
inquiry and investigation into the forego-
ing provisions of the constitution of the
United States, and to show, notWithstand-
ing the custom and rule Of State Legisla-
lures, that the district EIector chosen BY
the votes of his district, is alone author
lied to cast the vote Of said district in the
Independent manner and intent of the
constitution In the election Of President

the literary efforts of the political CORE

Not less than hundred have arrived

know that their present occupation Will
be fruitless, their letters being received
