The Vicksburg Times, in the course OF an
attack on Governor Alcorn, Of Mississippi, for
vetoing jobbing scheme for the benefit of
partisan papers, remarks that "a party that
has not the courage to support its press not
only deserves to die but will inevitably do
sou The Times reasons unadvisedly. AS a
general thing it will be found that political
papers supported by official pabulum are either
losing concerns or are so weak and puerile
intellectually as to be without influence or
benefit to the party they are supposed to rep
resent, Such papers are merely advertising
handbills for the uses OF corrupt political
schemers, and soon become more serviceable
in country groceries for wrapping paper than
at the home iresdc or in public reading rooms
Judicous enterprise, and broad. liberal
and independent management of newspapers
insure their pecuniary success and give
them influence in political as well as in all
other circles. The Mississippi Governor will
probably lose nothing by the veto referred
to. and the republicans will rather gain than
lose strength in the State especially among
the taxpayers, by his action.

result of the election to-day will be re-

the experiment OF declaring certain parts of

in view of the political advantages that NAV
accrue to the party that makes such declara-

merit be attached to the operation-of allying
the bullet to the ballot in a time of general
peace, and il will be no wonder If the polls in
North Carolina be little too much ''pro-
tected" to-day to allow full and fair express

will, therefore, probably carry their State
ticket and elect most of their candidates for
Congress, including one negro. But, which
ever way the State goes, for heavens sake
let the reign of terrorism and bloodthirstiness

The first new wheat of the season wa,
received on Saturday. It came from Pa
nels county, Miss. To-day we received
through, Messrs. Newton Ford q Co.
froR Major T. c. Dockery, Of DeSotC
county, Miss, a small sbeaf of wheat
which bids fair to yield well. The grain
is heavy, and the Majors fields, if the
specimen sent US is an average one, are
ready for the reaper.
A largenumberof prominent merchants
and others doing business in New York
city have sent remonstrsnce to Governor
Hoffman against the bill relating to for.
eign insurance companies, passed by the
last Legislature Of New York. They ask
him to disapproye the act, tor the follow
ing reasons:
!. 1t is essential to the growth and
prosperity of commerce, that the mer-
chant should have at all times adequate
facilities for obtaining insurance against
fire, The existing facilities for Obtaining
insurance are barely adequate to meet the
wants Of trade, and the effect of this law
would be to largely restrict and diminish
the means Of obtaining It.
2. The foreign insurance companies do
ing business in the city Of New York are
necessary, in order to supply the. demand
for insurance. The large capital which
they respectively have invested in the
business Of insurance adds so much to
the volume OF active capital available for
other branches Of industry. Their great
strength enables them TO issue policies
fog a large amount on a single risk. Such
policies are necessary TO merchants doing
q considerable business.
8. The effect Of this law would be not
to place foreign and domestic insurance
companies upon the same footing in re-
spect &c their legal rights and liabilities,
but to discriminate In favor Of the latter
and against the former, to such an extent
as to destroy their usefulness If not TO
drive them from the country.
Hence it is in the interest Of the monop-
oily, unjust to the merchants and to the
foreign insurance companies, who have
always faithfully performed their obliga-
tions to the public they have undertaken
to serve.
4. The existence OF the agencies in this
city Of foreign insurance companies OF
known strength and responsibility, Is one
Of the main relianees Of the foreign msr-
chant in his transactions with this eoan-
try, and thus they tend TO promote eonh-
dence and foster commerce.
s. In c~onelusion, the undersigned would
