MrssIsslrpI.-The Mississippi legislature last
week elected three United States Senators-one
to all vacancy Of year, and the other two for
the long and short term after 1871. The one to
fill the vacancy is negro, named W. II. Revel,
and the question of his admission is one which
the senate will have to determine. We see it
limited that tho senate will probably get over the
difficulty by deciding that the negro had not
been u citizen of the U. S. for nine years previ.
GUS 70 his election but as the negro was born in
this country, the senate cannot exclude him on
that ground without endorsing the much malig.
ned bred Scott decision. That would b. fun
indeed, to see the radicals protect themselves
from too close contact with the man and brother
by falling back on the much abused decision Of
Judge fancy.

Radical Economy.

From lS46, when the present constitution
of the state of Illinois went into force, up to
1860, when the democratic party went out of
power in Illinois, the usual cost of session
Of the Illinois Legislature was from $40, 900
to $4,000. The constitutional convention
which met in 1862 and in which there was
democratic majority, cost the state, according
to a report just made to the convention at
Springfield, by Mr. Waite, $56,s72,s6. The
convention was in session about months.
In 1863 the radicals went iuto power and
the Legislature that year according to the same
report cost the state $65,653. In 1865 there
was again large republican majority in both
houses, and the Legislature that year cost
the state 1857 ,2o3,9O; the next legislature cost
$273, 3O066 and the last legislature of Illinois,
again "loyal" all over, cost the people $27e, 10,
3s. This salaries of the members, their pay
and perquisites, since 1863, have been precise
ly the same as in 1856, when session of the
Legislature cost but $4,000. The difference
between $4,000 and $4,000, therefore, ex-
cept an item ofsome $50 900 for printing, shows
exactly how much more expert our legislators
in 1859 were in stealing than they we're in
1859, or any preceding year. It is the same
in every other Legislature in the country that
has fallen into radical hands, and it has been
the same in Congress under the same rule
The trail of the serpent is over them ALL"
There will be no honesty or economy in the
administration of governmental affairs any
where, in the nature of fittings there cannot be-
while party of the loose principles and dis
honest views Of the radical party hold the
reins of power.
