There is one subject which we feel it a
duty to warn our Mississippi friends. The
Messrs. Stanton, who have made themselves
notorious for tampering with State Legisla-
lures, and squeezing or buying State bonds
out of them, the payment of which is to be
a burthen on taxation. are now at Jackson
to try their expert hands on the Mississippi
Legislature They are gathering there with
their reinforcements and appliances, and If
the people of Mississippi do not keep blight
lookout they will wake some fine morning
to find themselves put in debt tor tN o or
three millions. The railroad enterprise
they have on hand, from Meridian to New
Orleans, is one that ahtagouizes with the
interest of the general railroad system of the
State, and of the State Treasury too, for we
believe the State owns stock in all these
roads. But State interest alone are not
bomb proofs against the wiles of those bond
cormorants. The owners of the State roads
and the guardians OF the public treasury
must not rely solely on obvious public in
terests TO defeat these men, They must be
met before the Legislature apd watched and

The Legislatures of Alabama and
Louisiana have both adjourned and the
people of those States breathe easier,
though they are sickened with the exc
cradle odor which their corruption has
engendered.
In both States, the same history of
bribery, peculation, and plumber has
been written Composed Of the same
material of ignorance, they have alike
practiced system of wholesale robbery,
and the same utterances of contempt and
indignation are found in the newspapers
that represent their interests.
The n. o. Bee speaking of the acts of
the Louisiana Legislature states they
prove beyond question that the creatures
who composed it, VIGOROUSLY assembled
for the sole object of making money by
their votes which were bought and sold
like any other commodity in the market.
Ten millions of dollars were appropriated !;
the lobbyists and agents Of monopolists
reaped rich harvest at the expense of
the payers. They actually established
an exchange office where Legislative bro
kers bought and sold the votes of the
Mongrel lawmakers, and where laws
public good but for the emolument of the
corruptionists who by military tyranny
and fraud had obtained possession of the
government.
In Alabama, the same game of high
handed villainy was played. The Mont
gomery Advertiser, one of the organs OF
the people thus depicts the miserable
condition into which the State has been
plunged

ma has been plundered almost beyond en-
| durance. incompetent men hold high po-

lature were cogniZant of the facts, and one

county. There the matter ends
The judiciary system of the State is
wretchedly bad. On the bench sit ignorant
men, and We fear even that does not express
in some instances their want of fitness. The
| partiZan course of most of the Judges has
lost them the respect of the people.
And so the Mongrel, or Radical party,
has illustrated its principles by its infa-
nous practices in all the reconstructed
States. 1t is not to be doubted, as there
is justice in wise and good Providence
that punishment will overtake the crimi-
mails. Their very excuses will bring
them to their deserved fate. The mills
of the Gods grind slowly, but surely.

Gen. Candy, the military satrap that
for sometime past has been lording it over
Virginia, was very quick few days since
to interfere in time TO prevent the elected
mayor of Richmond from acquiring con-
troll over that city, when one of his Gan

of the law. Why does he not now render
assistance to the civil authorities in dri-
wing the negro squatters off the land
of citizens in Hampden county. The
courts decided that they should give
up what they have held by the aid of
military power since the surrender, and
the marshal went to take possession, but
the squatters refused to surrender the
property, and drove him away. In this
case Candy announces that he must wait
until he receives orders from Washington.

The bill to reerganize and increase the
number of Judicial Districts was report
ed Yesterday to the House by the proper
committee, and passed before adjourn
mentg This is quick work, considering
the changes proposed. The bill makes
fifteen districts, instead of ten, increases
the terms to three annually, transfers cases
of one hundred and fifty dollars or less,
to the jurisdiction of justices of the peace;
largely increases the salaries of judge
and district attorney, and makes the Cir
cult Clerk the recorder of deeds, marri-
aces, etc. This bill will be found else
where in our columns. We doubt not it
will be more carefully and deliberately
considered by the Senate, and sent back
to the House with such amendments as
investigation and discussion may suggest.
We see no necessity for transferring the
recording of deeds, marriages, &c, from
the probate, or chancery court as it is to
be henceforth, to the Circuit Court. 1t
can only create confusion and increase
cost.

A number of Tennessee negroes re-
ported several outrages upon the truly
loyal of that State, to the Reconstruction
Committee. This fact became known to
the grand jury at Nashville, and two Of
them were brought before that body and
there stated that they had no personal
al knowledge of such outrages, and that
they had never been interfered with. This
is a fair sample of the tales on which Con
gressional legislation, in regard to the
Southern States, is based.
The Tennessee Radicals are not as loyal
as most of those who infest Mississippi,
or they would have sworn that they knew
all about the outrages and the parties
that committed them. If any one doubts
the statement we refer them to the print
ed testimony of the Committee of Sixteen
