A Shameful Prod ding.

The manner in which Adelbert Ames
was elected (?) a United States Senator
from Mississippi will remain on the re-
cords Us most convincing evidence Of the
villaiuy Of Radicalisnl in America. Ames
was an officer Of the United States army,
and since the war has acted as military
Governor Of Mississippi. When recon.
struction in her case was completed and
officers were to be elected for the newly
formed civil gosernaeat, this satrap Of %
unscrupulous power dictated his own &c.
lection as Senator of the United States.
To show the extent Of the i,npudcncc and
villainy Of the transaction, we quote, as
republished by the Philadelphia Age,
from Senator Conkling's speech, the docu-
ment by which Ames, as military Cover
nor, certified to his own election:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI,

I. Adelbcrt Ames, Brcvet Major r.Gener.

ernor Of the State Of Mississippi, do here.
by certify that Adelbcrt Ames was elected
United States Senator by the Legislature
of this State, on the 18th day Of January,
1870, for the unexpired term which COM
menced on the 4th day Of March, 1869,
and which will end on the 4th Of March,
1875.

set my hand, and caused the great
sEAL1 seal Of the State of Mississippi to

Here We see military satrap certify
ing over his own signature, to his own
election, when he knew that the Legisla-
ture had done nothing in the matter but
act in obedience to orders from head
quarters, requiring them to endorse as
Senator the individual who issued the Or.
der. And yet Radical Congress con-
firms Ames in his seat. after being ad-
vised as to the means by which his self
certified commission was obtained. How
long will the people of the Republic coun.
