The Pilot says that it expressed the
hope" that the Governor would OCCASION
air write for that paper. 1t expressed"
it IL such a way as to convey the impress
sion that he certainly would. And the
Plot proceeds to demonstrate that it is
no beneath the dignity of the Office he
occupies "to impress his views on the
public through the press" No argument
was needed ON that point. What amazed
us was that the Governor should become
part of the editorial staff of his own or
gan. As for the dignity" of the press,
it Is quite different thing The editor
ship of an independent newspaper which
speaks to the people, and for the people
and FORCES the bolts that strike incompe-
tency and corruption from high places, is
position far above the atmosphere in
which move the servile creatures who
live for day on the rinsings of unclean
legislation, and then pass away to be
heard of no more forever.
Indeed, the editor of even a fifth-rate
newspaper enjoys a pride of occupation
which even Governor or u. S. Senator
can never feel who carries in his bosom
the humiliating reflection that he was
lifted into Office against the indignant pro-
test of his countrymen on the point of a
bayonet, welded by a military satrap who
himself was but the servile tool of SUI
perior power.

How Nor 70 DO Ir-Gov. Alcorn's
message on the subject Of immigration.
He insists that all that can be done is for
the Commissioner of immigration 10 sit
down quietly and give direction to immi-
grafton after it comes here. Let him
take lesson from Mr.. G. Berglund, Of
Water Valley, through whose efforts a
large number of enterprising and indus
triOus foreigners have been induced to
settle in the State, and are now contribu-
ting their share to its productions, and
ask if that's the way il was accomplished.
Let him take lesson from the examples
of Northwestern States and territories
which have been mainly populated and
made prosperous by the influx of the har-
DIV and industrious foreigners.

Prior to and during the war divisions
occurred in several large denominations
of christians-the Methodist Episcopal
Church among the rest. The Southern
division of this church, took the designa-
ton Of Methodist Episcopal Church
South, which they have retained. Sew
eral Intellectual attempts have been made
since the war TO effect a reunion. The
conditions proposed by the Northern di-
vision contained the seeds Of future strife;
and the Church South has decided that
it would be better for the cause of chris
tianity to continue the separation than to
accomplish union with the elements of
discord. Thus acting upon the scriptu-
raj rule that two could not walk together
except they be agreed.
1t viii be seen by the report of the
Committee of the Memphis Conference
to consider the subject, published else
where, that that body re-afirmed its
former decision and firmly declared that
s'the true interests of Chris require and
demand the maintenance Of oW separ-
ssate and distinct organization.

The Conservative papers in Indiana
are full of names of Republicans who
come out against their party on account
of their adoption of the Fifteenth Amend
ment and its extravaganza and corrup-
ton generally. Some of them are prom
inent and influential men and the num-
Der of hitherto Republicans who have
published their purpose to vote against
the Republican party seems to be upward
of 5000.
Another significant indication, Is the
announcement Of Capt G. r. Weber
that be has resigned his position as Chair
man Of the Republican State Executive
Committee. He is reported to have
published that this party having accom-
plished its mission, is now in the hands
of plunderers and thieves, and unworthy
Of further support.

WELL Done, Mr.. WEssoN lin re-

calls itself under its new regime the
Central Organ" of the Radical party to

fore it passed out of existence-Mr. J.

THE PEOPLE AND THEIR NEWSPAPERS.
1t is not yet fixed fact that the Mongrel
Legislature will venture upon tie hazard
Gus experiment of levying contributions
on the people to support Radical newspa-
pers in the~several Judicial Districts. A
measure so fraught with injustice will
arouse spirit Of indignation which rea-
son itself can scarcely hold in check.
But the people have seen that Radical
impudence, arrogance and meanness are
equal to the preparation of any outrage
however gross ON the rights of the people
to crafty revenge and to secure
plumber, and it is the part of wisdom to
prepare for the worst. We advise our
brethren of the Conservative press to
prepare to encounter the new obstacles
that may be thrown by the Vandals in
the way of their continued success, by
curtailing their expenses and the practice
OF the most rigid economy. AT the same
time let them burnish up their weapons,
and charge home upon the spoilsmen who
are noting upon the blood and sweat of
the toiling masses.
And above all, let the people them
selves come with open purses and free
hands to the support of their tried and
faithful organs, the bold defenders of the
righi-the champions of truth-the ene-
mics of wrong. Without the aid of the
press but little Roadway can be made
against the Vandaf hordes that are raw
aging the State and devouring the sub
stance of the people.
The CLARION can speak freely on this
subject. 1t 50 happens that it has never
enjoyed large share of legal advertising.
1t has lived and prospered without it
and will not be seriously affected
by the threatened aggressions; but not
so with many of our able, gallant and
efficient contemporaries who have stood by
the people and who in turn deserve to be
sustained by them in all the trials to
which Radical vengeance and rapacity
may subject them.

A PUBLIC OUrRAGE.-In response 10
the invitation Of political organization
known as the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, the Mongrel majority in the Legisla-
ture forced an adjournment to participate
in the ceremony Of decorating the graves
of federal soldiers at Vicksburg on Mon
day. This proceeding has cost the tax
payers several thousand dollars. We
have no objection to any one who desires
to perform ceremony Of that description
to engage in it, but we protest that il is
an outrage on the people to make them a
party to it Joleas votens by appropriating
time to it which belongs to them.

The Pilot says

GA Democratic contemporary, published
within less than fifty miles of this city, has
recently been made responsible for an UNI
warrantable invasion of private life"
And the Pilot proceeds to define the
nature of the afront. We presume the
Democratic contemporary referred to
will be prepared to assume all the respon-
sibility which attaches to whatever he
may have published. Meantime we
would suggest to the Pilot the propriety
of being more specific in its allusions.-
There are a number of Democratic news
papers 'within less than fifty miles OF
this CITY,"

The Mississippi valley AMnsAs.
Propositions ID reclaim the valley
Iards Of the lower Mississippi. are agita-
tire Congress. These lands were once
reclaimed. and probably cultivated, but
during lie war the 1evees were cut and
the fIoods were TUNED loose upon them.
Tie Louisiana Legislature has incorpo-
raed company and given it an annual
re+enue for twenty one years, derived
from taxation on the protected lands and
their productions, which is to be collected
like State taxes and placed in the treassl-
ryto the credit Of the company.
The Mississippi Legislature (so-calleD
as our readers are advised, has asked
Csngress for an appropriation of $1,000
0O from the treasury and 5000, 600 of
aces of land from the public domain to
adm the reclamation of the lands be-
tween the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers.
Ths application is based upon the neces-
siH of preserving the American monopo-
" n the cotton plant against the effort
which England is making to supercede it;
ant ON the value of the great staple to
thecommerce of the country. The claim
might have been put upon still stronger
grounds. The leyees were destroyed by
the federal government during the war
in spirit of ruthless vandalism, just as
the invaders burned gin houses. smoke
houses, and dwellings, and laid waste
plantations, and turned out helpless wo-
men and children penniless and homeless
20 starve-and every consideration of
justice demands that the injury thus in
flicted should be repaired. Our people,
however, can count on nothing from the
sense of justice, or the magnanimity, OF
the liberality of the Radical rulers who
have already tortured them beyond endu-
rnee. They must abide their time until
the vandals are swept from power by the
reactionary popular tide which has turn
ed against them.
