MIsSISsIPPI.


The canvass in Mississippi was
formally opened at Corinth on Sat.
rrday, the 18th inst, and large
crowd was in attendance to hear
Judge Dent. He said that there
wore two parties at present in Mis-
sissippi, one of which was known
as the Bitter-enders or Extremists,
and the other as the National Re.
publican Union party; that the
former wanted to disfranehise the
white people, while the latter fas
vored universal suffrage and univer-
sal amnesty. He warned the me-
groes that the Radicals only wanted
their votes, but that the South
ern men were their best friends,
and that it was only by
joining with these, who would pro-
tect them in their rights, that their
race would be perpetuated. He
told them that if they failed to join
with those who were their friends
and really understood them, they
would drift away like the red mon
to the frontier of civilization, and
in q few years would entirely dis
appear. Judge Dent is reported as
having made fine impression upon
both white and blacks. Speeches
were made by a number of other
gentlemen, which produced o very
happy effect. A dispatch from the
capital of Mississippi to the Mem
phis Avalanche furnishes the fol.
lowing gratifying information:

ORIGIN ORA MUNCuAUsEN STORE

ORIGIN ORA MUNCHAUSEE STORY.
The other day the Press and
Times reproduced from the New
York Tribune a Munchausen story
touching the almost fabulous amount
which Grants administration had
cost the country for a single year
less than that of Mr.. Johnson.
The Press and Times reproduce d
this story with more than ordinary
delight. 1t even went so far as TO
twit the ex-President with having
'fbeen waring with all the infinite
extensibility of a pair of India rub~
Der lungs about the extravaganza
of the Grant administration" We
showed by figures from the report
Of the Secretary of the Treasury
that the statement was grossly in
accurate; that to have cost the ma
ton s485,OOO,0O0 less than John
sons administration, Grants would
not only haze expended nothing,
but have brought in over 100000
900 moro than the receipts into the
treasury from all sources. The
Press and Times has never set it.
self right by saying that when
it made the stab at the ex-President
it was imposed upon by tho
Tribune's statement, but it has
left such Of its readers as see no 9th
er papers, to believe that Grants
administration has saved in the
matter Of actual expenditures the
sum of $485,OO0,0OO year less
than Johnson's expended. We did
not suppose the Press and Times
would be guilty of such an effort to
injure political opponent, especis
ally Andrew Johnson. The Wash-
ington correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce furn-
ishes the following explanation Of
the origin Of this extravaganza sto~
ry:
WASHINGTON, Sept l6.-It appears
upon examination that the ridiculous
dispatches sent from here last week, pur>
porting to give the expenditures of the
government, were fOOlishly based upon
the amount of warrants upon the United
States Treasury, issued during the peril
DDS and for the purposes named The
warrants drawn on the Treasurer Of the
United States to meet the various re-
quirements of the government during the
past nine fiscal years, amount in round
numbers to the following sums:
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-09-21

The statement does not represent the
expenditures of the government A
warrant may be drawn for the transfer
of funds out of one pocket Of the gov
eminent into another The amount
drawn is often returned in whole or part,
and another warrant may be drawn upon
the same amount All the conversions
of loans from one form to another are
counted in, warrants having been issued
for that purpose. In 1868 the redemp-
ton of Texas indemnity bonds, per act
of September 9, 1850, required $1 900,
600 the redemption of Treasury notes,
per act of February %, 1862, required
$33 $4,000; the redemption of fractional
currency required Sl9,575, 900; redemp-
ton of gold certificates per act of March
3, 1868, required $79000,0OG redemp-
ton of compound interest notes $94 .00O,-
600, and redemption Of three year 7-3O
coupon Treasury notes S45l 100000
For these, with other loan transactions
of less extent, Treasury warrants to the

stills seeks to carry us farther and
farther from ''the text of civic in

TEE FIFTEEN re AMENDMENT

Let it be constantly borne in
mind that the proposed fifteenth
amendment is but another of the
systematic efforts of Radicalism TO
subvert the organic principles Of
our government. Its adoption can
yet be defeated. The high and i'm
perative duty is upon tho Legisla-
ture Of Tennessee to deal it a blow
from which it can not recover. 1t
is repugnant to the wise teachings
of our fathers. Its proposal was
adding insult to the injury already
inflicted upon the prescribed whites
Of the South. 1t carefully protects
the dark races from Africa and
Asia, but is studiously forgetful of
the oppressed descendants of Wash
ington, and Jefferson, and Madison.
The support of the State governS
ments in all their rights as the most
competent administration for our
domestic concerns, and the surest
bulwarks against anti-republican
tendencies, was declared by Jeffera
son to be one Of the bright constelo
Iation of principles which guided
the steps of our fathers through
an age of revolution and reforma-
ton. Instead of wandering further
from the principles of the consttuN
ton as it was before the war, let us
cling the closer TO them. Let each
State determine for itself who shall
be its qualified voters. Chinese
suffrage might be unimportant in
the Atlantic States, and yet be fatal
on the Pacific slope.
In the struggle which is now go
ing on between despOtism and free
dom, Tennessee has an opportunity
of placing herself in the very lead
of those States which favor the res
toration of the constitution. Her
geographical position, her varied
resources, her past history, her fus
ture prospects, her heroes living or
dead, her statesmen dead and living,
entitIe her to a front place in the
picture All eyes are upon her.

ton within her borders, the coure
age and ability of her great cham

vacancy, 10 the manner hereiubefore pro-
videdifor the election of Senator for
fun term; and if vacancy shall happen
during the session Of the Legislature, then
on the second Tuesday after the Legisla-
ture shall have been organized and shall
have notice Of such vacancy.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted,
That it shall be the duty of the Governor
of the State from which any Senator
shall have been chosen as aforesaid to
certify his election, under the seal Of the
State, to the President of the Senate OF
the United States, which certificate shall
be countersigned by the Secretary OF the
State.
Approved July IS, 1866.
1t will be seen that the present
Legislature, being the one "chosen
next preceding the expiration of
Mr.. Fowler's term, is peremptorily
required to elect his successor. The
two houses are required to com
mence the election "the second
Tuesday after the meeting and Or
ganization" of the Legislature, and
to "take at least one vote" each
day "until o Senator shall be elect
cd" Our correspondent will see that
there is "a pressing necessity for
the election of United States Sen
ator by the next Legislature" and
that necessity cannot be evaded in
any way. But suppose the incom-
ing Legislature should postpone
the election to an adjourned session
in the fall of 1870, what would be
the consequence? When the Sena-
tor elect presented himself at
the door of the United States
Senate, the objection would un-
doubtedly be urged against him
that he was not legally elected, and
he would not be admitted. But
| suppose tho present Legislature
should take no action in the premi-
ses, but leave the Senator to be cho~
sen by the body which shall be
elected in 1871? There would then
occur an interregnum in the senate
rial represen tation from this State,
which the law of Congress was
especially enacted to prevent. In
that case it is hardly questionable
that our Senator would be denied
admission, especially as he would
not be Radical. Tho law of Con
gress makes it the duty of the in,
coming Legislature to elect, and il
is proper that the requirement o
the law should be complied
with. Perhaps it may b.
asked by what authorit!
Congress passed this law2 Thu
fourth section Of the first article o
the constitution of the United State
provides that "the times, places ant
manner Of holding elections TO
Senators and Representatives, shal
DO prescribed in each State by tn
Legislature thereof; but the Con
gress may at any time by law max
or alter such regulations, except a
to the places of choosing Senators.
This is complete as to the power G
Congress over the subject, and 70
the authority it has exercised in re
curing the election Of Mr.. Fowl
er's successor to be elected by tn
incoming Legislature.

As regards the rest of the dispatch re-
ferred to, in reference to expenses of the
war and other departments, 1t really shows
nothing for this reason: Say, for instance,
the Secretary of War asks that a warrant
be issued for 100000, the amount to be
charged to the appropriation "for clothing
the army" He afterwards may divert
half the amount to pay for transporting
troops. Then another warrant is drawn for
$4,000, and the amount charged TO the
appropriation "for transportation OF troops
and stores" OF course that sum is cred.
tied to the former appropriation, but the
| Treasurer's books will show that warrants
have been issued for $l50,000. And that
| is only one of the modes of cheating by APP
| pearances in this particular.
