The Admission of mississippi.

Mississippi has at last gained admis-
sion to the union under circumstances
that must gladden. the hearts of all
the truly loyal. To the terms
imposed under the original measure
of reconstruction and its supplements, are
superadded the ubiquitous conditions
which were appended in the last act of
the drama The Legislative and Execu-
tive departments of the government are
in the hands of the Bitter-Enders, and
the power which they possess under the
new constitution is almost supreme.
Our people can expect nothing but
evil, and have made up their minds to
bear all the consequences with the Spar
tan fortitude which has marked their
conduct since the loss of their liberties. =
If they are not cursed with weak and
corrupt judiciary, profigate legislature,
and an ultra partisan executive, they
may consider themselves fortunate in es-
Gaping the calamities which have befal-
len their brethren of the other States that
have been reorganized at the point of the
bayonet in the interest of faction.

1t will be well for our agricultural peo-
pie in preparing the crops of the present
year to bear in mind that another State
Fair will be held the coming fall, and
that there should be lively competition
for premiums in the branch of industry
which they represent. The prize COM
mittee will doubtless take care that spe-
cial reference be had to the quality of the
productions of our soil and to the quaint
ty raised upon a given breadth of land.
For the sake of the interests which the
Fair is designed to promote, it is TO be
hoped that planters will resolve to pro-
duce specimens of progress in their noble
art, worthy of exhibition. Thorough ag-
ricuIture must be the chief source of the
wealth and prosperity of our State. With
fertile soil capable of greater variety OF
production than any other region, and a
climate salubrious and delightful, we
need only skillful farming to make it the
garden of the world Nature has done
for us all that could be desired. Moth
ing is needed but improved cultivation
which, costing a trifie of money and OF
time in the beginning, will yield an hun
dred fold in the end.

A Damaged Radical Charac,cr,

BUFFALO, heb. 13.-Hon. ID. ID. Bennett
member of Congress from this district will
issue card to The public, stating in sub
stance that he has returned from Washing
ton at the earliest possible moment to vindi-
cate his character against the attack of the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, and that he
has instituted proceedings in court against
the proprietors of that journal. And that
Hon. Noah Davis and Hon, BENJAMIN r.
Butler have volunteered their services to
prosecute the case here and they have been
accepted as counsel. He says the recent at
tack of the Commercial is the browning out
rage Of long series to which he has been
subjected from the same source. He denies
the charge In toto: and asks the public to
await the result of judicial Investigation
He charged the Commercial with sending
marked papers, containing the recent attack.
TO the President, members Of the Cabinet,
and prominent congressman. He says he
will bring the case 20 trial with the least
delay the law will allow. It Is understood
that the damages are laid at 100000.

Northern papers are raising a great
howl over the intelligence that three
Americans have been shot-one killed and
two wounded-in the city of Havana by
Spanish roughs. But nothing is said of
the numbering of Americans in Missis-
sippi by persons who have been appointed
TO civil officers by Brevet Brigadier
General in the United States. What
makes the difference? Those killed in
Cuba were Yankees, those murdered in
Mississippi are Southerners. The last
were at home attending to their own bust
ness, the former were in Cuba and doubt
less were showing by their conduct and
apparel what their opinions were upon
Spanish rule in Cuba. If they had re-
manned at their homes in Yankeedom
they would not have been shot. So far
as we are concerned we do not attach any
blame to the Spaniards, for we know
something of Yankee impudence and au-
dacity.

Another of Ames' APpOintees GONE
We learn from the New Orleans Re
publican, that VIM. Wheaton, late sheriff
of jackson county, has been arrested in
that city and is now held awaiting reqni-
sition from the Governor of Mississippi.
Wheaton is defaulter in the sum of
$4,000.
We would like to know who is the Gov
ernor of Mississippi? If Ames is holding
the position and drawing the pay, We are
of the opinion that he shonld be here at
tending to his duties. This man in
whose charge he placed the fin4nces of
Jackson county, has betrayed the trust,
and has left the State. Fortunately the
officials of another State, more reliable
than those of our own, have arrested him;
but we presume he will be released, as
we have no Governor to demand his de
livery.
However, it may be as well for the
State that he be released without any ex-
expenses being incurred, as for it to be
done after he had been brought back. We
have no right to expect that any of
Ames' miaions would be punished, how
ever guilty they may be. when we remem-
Der that Corliss and McGowan, the APP
pointed Sheriff and Judge of Rankin
county, were turned loose, although de-
liberate attemptto steal from the county
was proven against them. And while We
know that the murderer of Jones, in Ok
ford, and the murderer Of Tully Gibson,
IN snnHower county, are at large upon the
community.
Mr.. jenkins, of jefferson county, after
serving wrongful imprisonment of a
year in the Penitentiary. was released,
the consideration being taOO hundred and
fifty dollars, we suppose the half of s.. 900
would insure safety and another appoint
ment to Wheaton.

The Proposed Amnesty bill.
Especial to the st. Louis Republican


WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-The movement
towards a general amnesty on the part of
Congress has at last assumed positive shape.
This morning the Reconstruction Commit
tee directed Mr.. Butler to report to the
House bill by which Congress transfers
the greater portion of the pardoning power
to the United States District Courts. 1t
provides that every citizen disfranchised
by the third section of the fourteenth
amendment except persons who have held
commissions in the army and navy or have
been members of Congress, shall be restor-
ed toall the rights ofcitizenship on applying
by a petition to such a court in any State or
Territory in which he had his home during
the war, setting forth what office he held
under the United States prior to April 1861,
which. by law, required any oath to sup
port the constitution, and also in what man
ner he had given aid or assistance 70 the re-
bellion, or whether he had held any office
under the Stare or Confederate Govern
ment, or either of them. during any part of
the war, giving particular description of
the acCs done and officers or places held by
him in that behalf; and that therein and
thereby he renounces all allegiance or feal-
ty to any supposed government heretofore
set up against the United States within the
same, and that he truly intends hereafter to
act and conduct himself as true and loyal
citizen, and will bear true faith and allegi-
ance to the Government; that he has not
done since June l, 1856, any-act of hostility
to the United States or committed any
crime by violence against the laws of any
State; and that he has not endeavored since
that time by force or fraud to interfere with
the civil rights of any citizen, or TO prevent
the freedom of election or of speech; that
from that day he has been a welIdisposed
and good citizen, and that he prays that his
rights be restored to him. This petition is
to be sworn to in open court, and is to be
publicly advertised thirty days, at the end
which time any person may appear and OPP
pose such petition. But If there is no oppo-
sition, the Judge can issue certificate to
the petitioner, wbereupon his disabilities
shall be removed. If there be sufficient ev-
idence showing why the certificate should
not be granted, then the petitioner is for
ever debarred from relief except by a spe-
cial act of Congress. Nothing in the act
is TO be construed to restore any rights of
property heretofore lost or forfeited by any
citizen. or to allow any claim on Congress
for the same. When the bill is reported,
Mr.. Beck. of Kentucky, viii move to strike
out the exceptions of ex-army and navy
officers and ex-Congressmen.

their enemies for the sale of thirty pieces

The dispatches from Washington in
form US, that prior to the signing the Mis-

from Mississippi, visited the President in
body and did their utmost to induce
him to withhold his approval of the Mis-
sissippi bill until the passage of certain
acts for relieving political disabilities.
In other words, they were not only
willing but anxious, for the detestable
state of affairs which now exist, to contin-
ue, until the men that have sold their

these Honorable gentlemen care for the

Gofton Misunderstanding I'm the
A0mah.


"A Mr.. Palmer, IN paper before an
Agricultural Convention, stated fact.
but not discovery-when he describes
the advantages of the South for the manu=
facture of cotton. The success which
have attended most Of the manufacturing
enterprises are the best illustrations of his
views. As stated by him, the advantages
consist of abundant water in the Southern
States-their temperate climate which
renders the cost of living below the
Northern standard-and more than all,
the immense saving in the item of trans
portation by the production oft raw ma
terial.
The conclusion from these premises is,
| that the South can manufacture cotton
cheaper than the North. From a series
of calculations based on the production of
cotton, its market value in bales and
then in the form of yarns, he infers that,
if the South were to spin their entire cot
ton crop and then export the whole IN
this form, they would increase the home
value of each crop by about $3.50, 900, 600
and give employment to $50, 600 hands,
principally females from ten years OF
age up, and small boys" The paid labor
would amount to $50, 900, cooper annum.
In view of his presentation of the ques
ton, Mr. Palmer strongly urges ''the
planters of the cotton-growing districts al
over the South to combine together il
joint stock companies, erect cotton mills
of sufficient capacity to spin up then
crops" and then ship their yarn "direcr
to the continent of Europe as well as tC
the North"

Some time ago, North Carolina was
cheated out of six millions of railroad
bonds by carpet-bag and scalawag legis-
Iators, and now the Florida Legislature
has passed bill to aid railroad in that
State, in the shape of an eight per cent.
State bond for about five millions of
dollars. Nearly all the bonds are 70 be
delivered before any expenditures are
made on the road in the way of construct
ing it. These are fitting illustrations of
the beauties of government resting on
the bayonet, not the will of the people.

The lower branch of the Louisiana
Legislature, which is perhaps the most
corrupt body that was ever clothed with
official power, has found twenty-eight ar
ticles of Impeachment against George M.
Wicklif, Auditor Of Public Accounts for
the State. And each gives an account
of different case of fraud and thieving
on his part. The Senate is now sitting
as a Court of Impeachment.
When it is remembered that Wickliff
was elected by the same power that placed
this Legislature in control of the State,
it must be acknowledged that his offences
are great indeed, when his companions
turn States evidence. "When rogues
fall out, honest men get their dues"
