If our readers will read the letter Of

fice-holders who have been put over the
people Of Mississippi, and Of the manner
the ninnies and knayes are in the habit Of
discharging the duties Of the places into
which they have been thrust In defiance
Of the public will. If there have been
occasional demonstrations Of popular ro-
sentiment which have eliminated In the
shedding Of blood, they are attributable,
as Senator Schurz truly remarked, 30 the
abuses which nave been practiced upon
the people by degraded, ignorant and des-
picable Williams who have been put Ia au-
thority over them. When it Is remom-
bered that il was the policy Of Ames 10
make his selection Of that class Of mate
rial TO fill the Offices in order 10 secure
facile agents Of corruption for turning
the State over to Mongrel domination, Il
may readily be inferred how great Is the
necessity Of reform. This, the people
will have the opportunity 10 accomplish
in many counties a. soon az the right Of
election by the ballot is secured 20 them.

DEAR sra:

mat ! am not only pressed By business, but
am also not well.
Yours respectfully,
Hon. Mr. Gibbs.
The reader has seen Gibbs vorsiai of
what occurred at the interview % which
he was invited; and also Hoyson's state
ment OF what did not occir But they
have not yet seen the laker's admission of
what did actually tale place. This win
be found in another column.
IL is not stated whether the Senator
was informed that the existing printing
arrangement" would be broken up. on
not, but il is clearly inferred, inasmuch
as after the school law" which had been
merely introduced az a foelcr n true al.
plomatic style, had been disposed Of. the
main topic was preached, which, SURF
enough turns TO have been the printing"
business. Gibbs was supposed 60 be-
"the chief Of a FESTIVE wing Of the party.
"and il was thought that by a union ,giA
him 1 (Hewson) could obtain more per
feet harmony" This then was the OBJ.
ject Of the negotiation union with"
Gibbs. Abe Senator was told that after
the election, in the event Of the defeat of
the Pilot, and the success Of Hewson. tho
latter intended 10 take in a certain num-
Der Of partners" 10 make "tho manage
ment representative" and that he CHow-
SOM "had thought Of him" (the Senator)
in that connection-th the latter was
invited 10 turn the matter over in
his mind" and communicate al d subso.
quent interview the result Of his cogitn-
tons. He was also told 10 hold the con-
versation "priuate, which Gibbs did not
do. His virtuous wrath boiled over, and
according to Hewson, he proclaimed it all
and more besides
As we interpret the publication Of How-
son, the only practical difference between
his statement Of what occurred. and tho
statement Of Gibbs, is, that the latter &C
cused the former Of making a direct offer
Of co-partnership, that he termed "a dis
honorable compact" in a certain event
(Which depended on the action Of the
Legislature,) and the former (Hcwson)
states that the proposition was not made
Internationally 20 Gibbs, but that he had
been thought Of, aud was requested 10
take the matter under advisemont.-
Twedledum and ,twedledee The Senate
has appointed a committee Of invcsuga-
ton, and we shall await further proceed
ings with no little curiosity.

ARTICLE w.

Section 80. No Senator or Representative
during the term FOR 1chich he was elected shall
be appointed to any Office of profit under
this State, which shall have been created, or
the emoluments of which have been in
creased during the time such Senator or
Representative was in office, except to such
offices as may be filed by an election of the
people.
Comment on these plain words is hardly
needed. Men cannot fill many offices. One
is all any man is entitled to. The man who
max rs the law ought not to interpret or
execute it. There is a moral and legal In-
consistency in that. The State claims of its
State Officers all their time and talent, and
is entitled to them. State Officers are SUI
pervis ors. and ought not to hold or be inter-
ested in minor offices. How can any man
say that the Governor could in law or
sound morals, act as District Attorney
The principle is applicable to all. SO of
Federal officers.
The Legislator, or State officer of any
grade, must be confined to his proper fune-
tions. Even If the Constitution had been
silent. this would have been the law. But
the express language removes all doubt.
Resignation cannot cover the defect.
During the term for which he was elected
is the express language.
Under which King do you fight? You
had the right of choice, made the choice, and
must abide it.

The Spanish mail steamer which sailed to-

The document gives as a reason for this request
that the granting of these privileges will prove
highly Injurious to the cause of Spain and
Cuba, and be used as weapon against the

eminent. The residents of Cuba do not at
