The man who advocates the nomina-
ton of straight-out Democratic ticket
for the coming canvass is practically
helping to keep Ames in supreme author
ity over our people until the next Presi-
dental election; and is thus aiding to
keep the question of reconstruction open
to be used in that struggle, as it was in
the last in the interest of the extreme
Radical party.

The vicksburg Herald don't agree
with us as to the class of persons that
should accept the invitation Of the Ma
tional Republicans to meet them in Con-

the matter to the consciences of the parties
interested and finally to the Convention
itself which will be hejudge of the quail
fications of its members.

demonstrates that the liability of the

Order forbidding COmmandaEfs of
Posts 10 obey Wrifs of Ha
beas Corpus.

The Military Commander has givn the
screw another turn. He has issud the
Order which we copy below, forblding
officers under his command to obg any
writ for testing the legality of the arrests
of persons restrained of their Liberties for
any cause whatever, real or pretened.
To what motive is this high-hnded
measure at this late day, attributable?
PROFESSIONALLY to create the impression
abroad of the lawlessness of the people
of the State and the necessity. of resort
to a desperate expedient in order tt check
their violence. We can conjecture no
other unless it be a motive wantnly to
Cypress and torture the objects of Bitter
End Radical malignity. 1t cannot be
truthfully asserted that peace and good
order do not prevail in Mississippi, de-
spite the temptation to anarchy By the
practical abolition of all law in many To-
calities, and to violence in others by the
appointment of wicked and corrupt
agents of strife who have made l. their
business to heap indignities on the people
among whom they were sent. Nor will
it be asserted that this Order has not been
issued in direct violation Of the constitu-
ton of the United States, which guaran-
tees to every citizen the privilege of the
= h oIo hot -
power is accorded to the military COM
mander by the reconstruction acts, which
give him authority to organize commits
sions to try offenders in the event civil
tribunals are deemed unsafe custodians of
the rights of person and property, but
they do not authorize him to deny to per-
sons held in custody the benefit of the
constitutional right to have the cause of
their Imprisonment investigated.
No other conclusion is warranted but
that the measure is simply a high-handed
usurpation, designed to create erroneous
impressions abroad to the injury of our
people, for partizan purposes-to load
them with additional outrages and oppres-
sions-and to make a display of military
power for effect in the coming elections.
We can have no other recourse, but to
cite it as evidence of the malignant and
despOtic temper in which We are ruled in
time of peace; and to invoke our people
to continue to be patient, and self-deny-
ing; and to work all the more unitedly
and theoretically for their own deliver
ance:
COPY OF MILITARY ORDER.

Our cotempOrary viii find that there
i no lack Of ''nerve" on either hand.
The leading conservative Republicans
who boldly defied the infamous decree Of
the Convention of December 25th, 1868,
TO petition Congress to set the Mississippi
election aside, and who have since not
besitated at the risk Of losing the places
which they held by caprice ofthe admins
tration at Washington and the military
commander here, fearlessly TO pursue the
even tenor of their way, are not likely to
d;splav a want of ''nerve" in the main
tainance of the right, reinforced as they
unouestionably are by the large numbers
white and black, of the party with which
they acted previous to the division in No
vember, and sustained by the unanimous
voice of the men composing the former
parties Of the State.
IF any one has ever doubted the pluck
of the gallant leader they have chosen, he
has only to read his recent correspon-
dence with citizens of the State and with
Boutwell,. His letters have the defiant
spirit with which the freemen of Tennes-
see answered the insolent attempt Of Ores
swell and Boutwell, TO control their votes.

But the crowd came. 1t surged around the
Majors carriage. Those nearest were
crowded upon the wheels and horses.
"They clamberedu p to sun themselves on
the carriage and steeds. The Major and
Posey demonstrated. The Major and friend
fought. But what was mere pluck against
the brute force of superior numbers The
horses were covered, the carriage was COW
