ImmIgrntIon NIectIng.

We are requested TO announce that the
citizcn- of Hinds county are invited to meet
In the Senate Chamber, on Saturday. Janu-
ary lsr, 1870, with the vie offorming an
Association for the promotion of Immi-
grafton full attendance is requested.
The foregoing call was inserted at the
instance of citizens who feel an interest
in the objects of the movement. Its i'm
portance should draw together a large
number for counsel and concert of action.
We are on the eve Of another year, and
though most of the freedmen have entered
upon contracts, the demand for labor is
unsatis6ed and urgent. Large quantities
of the best lands in the country, already
cleared and needing but little attention
to bring them to a tillable condition, re-
main idle with no prospect of being put
into cultivation except by increase Of
population. The experiments which have
already been made in our State for the
introduction of farm laborers by means of
immigrant societies as in the case of the
organization at Okolona, and of individ-
ual effort as in the case of Mr.. Hester of
Kinds, amply attest the feasibility of the
plan. We have now before us letter
from Mr.. j. Blom, General Agent of the
Danish Emigrant Aid Society at Chicago,
to Mr.. j. M. Wesson, proposing to fur
farms at short notice. The contractors
will only be required to advance, say $15
each, to pay their fare to jackson, which
would be deducted from their wages. The
Society also propose to furnish mechanics,
railroad hands, saw mill hands, or any
other kind of male or female ''help." Ifan
association of planters and others will
agree to take as many as fifty, the agent
of the society proposes to escort them to
their destination in person and see that
they are safely delivered to their employ
ers. Here is an excellent opportunity.
Mr.. Wesson will attend the meeting and
will give it the benefit of his counsels,
and cooperate with it in whatever mea-
sures may be deemed best to further its
objects.

DEATH OF E. NJ. STANTON. The death
ofthe man who represented the inhuman-
ity of the war in its progress, and the
cruelty and cowardice of persecution af-
ter its close, is announced. He has gone
to his reward. His triumph was the glo-
ry of an hour. The triumph of his vic
Tins, ofwhom Mrs. Surratt and Writ,
are examples, are for eternity. They are
as Lazarus when the wicked had ceased
from troubling; he, as the rich man who
sees them afar off, with fixed gulf in
tervening.

IT'S disreputable practice which was'
mud in vogue in Johnson's time, among
his saeIlites, Immediately after the close
of thewar, seems to be still prevalent, ae-
cordir to the statement of " Mack, the
Washington correspondent of the CIncin-
nat Equirer, who says:
Peote must not misunderstood the mo-
tives Congress in refusing TO grant gen
eraI amnesty. and preferring to pass bills
every now and then giving pardons 70
specially named individuals. This course Is
Dursud for purpose baser aad more vile
than uefe politics. Not alone that they are
thus aabled TO drum up recruits for the
Republican party in the South, by exclud-
ing allwho lean to the Democratic party
from th privilege of amnesty. The chief
object to keep open the door for corrup-
ton am bribery. A general amnesty would
Weld n, money-indiyidua amnestles can
be. andoften are, made source OF revenue
TO the uen who deal them out / cannot say
positively that any member of Congress has
been pid directly for securing the insertion
of name in an amnesty bill; but / can say
that prisons have paid as high as 500 tor
that pivilege. The money is paid TO the
influential friends of Radical members or
the RECONSTRUCTION Committee; and L take
know tn those members. Men come here
from ne South to get their disabilities re-
moved They want to be eligible for office
of SOM kind. They are very soon directed
10 som. one who can have their names in
serted n the next bill, and for this insertion
they are often willing TO pay liberally=-
Their money is taken-nor do believe it all
goes tito the pockets of the men who first
received it. These are facts of which every
membG of Congress is aware. Time was
when cle mere suspicion of this truth would
have called for a searching investigation. -
But corruption stalks so shamelessly abroad
and so permeates every department of the
now-from the Executive who
sells hisCabinet positions to the highest bid
der. TO the Bureau Chiefs who extort dollar
donations from the starving clerks under
them-tIat it is dangerous to start an inQui-
~, because it is impossible to tell where IL
will stop or to what it will lead. One of
these days the people will wake up to the
fact that greater crimes may be committed
against a nation by thieves disguised in the
livery OF loyalty, than by brave men wearing
openly the uniform ofrebellion.

The conservative press of Mississippi
show disposition not to PREJUDICE the adj
minBtration of Gen. Alcorn, and are ex-
pressing confidence that he will carry
out IN good faith the platform on which
he was elected. The Liberty Advocate,
for example, which says:
He is a home man, and a thorough
Misiss ippian, and these facts gave more
strength TO the Radical cause than any and
all other considerations combined. 1t pro-
duced apathy among the whites, who pre-
ferred him as Governor, although identified
for the time with the Republican party. who
besides being Republican, an importa-
ton from Washington. IfPowers had occu-
pied the first place upon the Radical ticket.
Judge Dent would have been the Governor
elect to-day. The people do not want
Powers their Governor, but want Alcorn,
tor whom they voted and whom they elect
ed, and should he abdicate in favor of Pow
ers, oy accepting a seat in the United States
Senate from Mississippi, he will violate the
expressed and emphatic will of the people
and disappoint their honest expectations
let AlcOrn be our Governor and no one else.

his associate impracticables had studied
a little more closely the results of the war

crates, as described by them in their va

The refusal of the Senate to confirm
the nomination of Attorney General Hoar
to be associate Justice on the Supreme
Bench, makes an issue with the President
which is the more sharp from the fact
that he had been member of the cabinet
and the President was presumed to have
not only reflected his own preference but
acted on his own knowledge of the quail
fcation of his nominee Liberal men of
all parties viii be gratifed by the action
of the Senate. HOar is representative
of the meanest order of Puritan bigotry.
