To fix the Salaries of certain State Officer
therein named.
AN ACT

To fix the Salaries of certain State Officers
therein named.
Section l. Be il enacted by the Legis-
lature of the State of Mississippi, That the'
State Officers hereinafter named shall res
pectively be paid the annually salaries
following, to-wit:
To the Governor $4,000 90
To the Lieutenant Governor. 1000 90
To the Secretary of State, besides
the fees now allowed by law. $500 90
To the Auditor of Public Accounts
$500 90
To the Treasurer $500 90
To the Attorney General . $500 90
To the Superintendent of Public
Education 3.OOU w
Sec. q Be it further enacted, That the
Auditor shall audit the accounts of said
State Officers quarterly, computing the time
from the first day in January ofeach year.
and issue his warrants on the treasurer in
favor of said officers, and in such sums as
they shall respectively direct, to an amount
in the aggregate covering one quarter of
each annual salary.
Approved. Oct. y, 1870.
The foregoing is copied from the Off
cial journal.
By the law in force under the State
government existing prior to the war, the
following salaries were allowed:
To the Governor, .................S4,0 900 90
/" Secretary of State. 1900 90
+" Auditor. .......-. 2, 900 90
State Treasurer. ......... 1000 GU
=" Attorney General 1890. 1000 90
There was no such barnacle as the 1t
Governor attached to the government.
The duties which that functionary now
performs on a salary of two thousand
dollars, were discharged by the President
of the Senate, who was elected by the
body over which he presided and who,
for his services, received So per day du-
ring the session of the Legislature which
usually lasted from six weeks to two
months.
The foregoing is but an example of the
way in which salaries have been in
creased in the various Departments OF
the State Government. The additional
burthen on account of the Judiciary is
enormous. The adventures who make
the laws and vote themselves special
franchises, extraordinary privileges and
extravagant salaries, seem not to realize
that the people were robbed of billions OF
dollars worth of property during the war
that the mass of them were utterly inn
poverished and bankrupt at its close
and that there are tens of thousands of
them groaning under the pressure of
federal taxation, who are barely able to sup
ply themselves with the necessaries of
life. At such a time, above all others,
every consideration of justice, reason,
and humanity demanded low taxes and
economical government. But with the
spoilsmen, the reverse has been the rule.
Truly, the people mourn when the
wicked reign.

Commissioner Wilson, of the Land
Office, declares that he will not resign
because the President says, in the Grant
Cox correspondence, that he looks upon
him with suspicion. He may be removed,
he adds, but he will not resign. Oh, it
is delightful to behold how the Radical
brethren are dwelling in harmony to-
gether.

Fl0hrnay n fsliditdting himself tnaE ane
negroes have large majority IN Mias''-
sippi. He may find himself mistaken
According to the Radical registration
their registered majority was only twenty
one thousand, and it is well known that
not less than twenty thousand white citi-
zens were notpermitted to register. How
many, Disguised with the law under
which they we're permitted to 60 through
the mockery of an election, declined to
participate, we are not informed; but
they were not few. Flournoy ought to
remember that in future elections, the
right of all these disfranchised citizens to
vote has been secured; and that the men
who have stayed away from the polls will
come to the rescue in their numbers,
when the opportunity of delivering the
State from Radical misrule, is afforded.
Besides, thousands of negroes, wearied
of the broken promises, selfshness and
humbuggery of the Radical spoilsmen,
and bitterly experiencing the cost of put
ting them into office, will unite to throw
off their yoke.

The CoRN CRoP.-The October Re-
port of the Department of Agriculture
says that ''the corn crop of 1870 unlike
those of the two years preceding is full
one-the best of the past ten years. :"
The acreage is larger than usual, that of
Illinois alone being over six millions of
acres.

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IN
THE HABEAs CORPUS CAsE.-We have
been requested to publish the decision of
the Supreme Court of the State in the
case of Street, in view of the recent criti-
cism of the decision in THE CLARION.
We recognize the propriety of
the request under the circumstances,
and especially at this juncture, when
the action of the Judiciary on
questions of bail in criminal causes, and
the rights of persons accused to the bene-
fit Of the writ of Habeas Corpus, are of
supreme Importance. The decision will
be found elsewhere in this paper.

The Presidents removal of Secretary
Cox from the Cabinet, because he would
not permit the patronage of his Depart
ment to be used for corrupt political pur-
poses, has disgusteG many of his original
supporters. The st. Louis Democrat, the
original Free-Soil paper of the West, and
the special organ of the Liberals in Mis-
souri,. thus characteristics his conduct:
The President begins to feel that his re-
moval Of Cox offeDds and disgusts the peo-
ple. Somebody, moreover, has spoken OF
Cox as a cand date for the Presidency, and
the great man now engaged in doing little
things TO re-elect himself does not like any
man who can be a candidate against him

Flunkies who are eager to propltiate
the disposers of federal patronage, and to
share the drippings of unclean legislation,
will have a nice opportunity to attest
their newborn loyalty by rendering hom-
age to Mr.. (so-called) Senator and Mrs.
Ames, whose advent has produced a SEN
sation in Radical circles. Ames is no
longer shoulder-strap, nor has he a sin
gle bayonet at his command to infict
cowardly insult and injury upon men
whom he would not have dared to en-
counter on equal terms but he is the
vice-gerent Of Beast Butler, who will be
remembered for the skill which he dis
played in the matter Of relieving South
+ ern people of certain household wares,
when he was in command of the city of
New Orleans, and for his many other
graceful attentions. His celebrated or
der, No. %, is a souvenir which is enti-
tied to place in the memories of the
men and women of the South. 1t is as
| follows:

ALABAMA,

Reports indicate that she too is re-
dee med and disenthralled The Conser-
vatives have certainly made substantial
gains 1t is believed that the Democratic
majority in the Lower Branch of her Lee
gislature is so great that the Democrats
will have majority on joint ballot, and
will therefore elect Democratic United
States Senator. There was no election
for State Senators.

says
This deponent being an old line Wig

of mental struggle, since the war, to
write himself down as a "Domoclat"-
We now write the word as glibly as we
would the name of dear friend, and
with a peculiar confidence in the force
of the term as expressive of our political
feelings and sentiments, because it is the
only party name by which any man can
be properly and distinctly known as in

Therefore, say We, let our party be

creatures that can only live upon milk
