EXPECTED INDIAN WAR Gen. Parker,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, is a
good deal troubled at the threatened as
pect of a general Indian war during the
coming summer months. Unless great
prudence is exhibited on the part Of
military officers in command of troops
in Wyoming, and the volunteer militia
is kept under control, the Commissioners
says the people Of the IVES, may as
well prepare for the worst, as hostile
tribes will undoubtedly take the war path

The Law Department q
HnfvArwfHV

From intimations in the Pilot there
must be something more in the withdrawal
of Hon. L. @. C.. Lamar from the Law
Department of the University, and the
appointment of Judge Campbell by the
Republican Board than meets the eye.
The organ says:
s-Col. Lamar is represented in oxford as
bitter political partisan. and conducted MS
department in public hall in town. Strong
partisans are not generally considered the
fttest instructors in public institutions, and
his withdrawal may prove an advantage.
Col. Lamar doubtless conducted his
department in the hall provided for him
and as to his "politics" they were his own,
and such as could give no offense to any but
the advocates of the policy of converting
the government into centralized despOt-
ism, and of mongrelizing and degrading
the political and social institutions of the
Southern States. He has, however, taken
no part in public matters since the war, and
has devoted himself exclusively to the in
terests of the University, which was hon
ored bv his connection with it. His politics
have always been the same Ofhis successor,
Judge Campbell and there is nothing in
the antecedcnts of either on this score to
warrant the invidious discrimination of
the Pilot, since ''the powers that be" have
prescribed political test. Col. Lamar
was (and isl State Rights Democrat !;
was member of the Federal Congress,
(having been elected over Alcorn by a
large vote. Judge G. has always pro-
fessed the same politics and would not
have declined a seat In the same body.
Col. Lamar was a member of the seces-
sion Convention Judge Campbell was
elected by the same body to the Provision
al Congress and voted for the Confederate
States Constitution and for supplies of
men and money to fight the Union
armies. He was a candidate for the Con-
fedate Congress against Mr.. Singleton,
and bearing true allegiance to the Con-
federate cause, was consequently appoint
ed by President Davis on the Military
Courts How comes it, then, that he is
unobiectionable to the Republican
Board" while the withdrawal of Col.
Lamar is heralded in Radical circles as 4
public benefit? Let this matter be ex-
planned? The people have right to
know all the facts.

The Bridge Que>IiOn.

The people of Jackson have been
amazed at the refusal OF the Board Of
Aldermen to accept the transfer of Pearl
River Bridge to the corporation on the
terms prescribed in the law They are
all in favor of it and realize the impor-
lance Of the measure, and there is no OPP
position unless it comes from quarters III
terested in county (bridge) warrants. -
The citizens Of the town are to receive
-credlt ON their county bridge tax for the
cost of the bridg,; and consequently the
purchase viii be made without imposing
additional burthens on them.
Messrs. Green Il Tapley propose to
par: with it for what it ctsts them, and
they have proven that it cannot be built
for less. The terms are just and reason
able. Building it at their own cost when
no one else would take the risk, they de-
serve the thanks of the community; and
ought not to be expected to dispose of it
at a sacrifice. We ask our citizens TO
read the documents embraced in the sup
plement of our present issue And if
the Board will not reconsider their action,
we earnestly join in the appeal of the
Pilot, at the request of citizens, to the
Mayor to call a special meeting for
tomorrow wednesday, evening in
order TO submit the question of the
purchase of the Bridge to 4 vote Of
the people. An early day should
be appointed-(say Monday next for
holding the election. The business sea-
son has commenced and whatever is done
should be done quickly.
We understand the following to have
been the vote On the question Of purchase:
In the affirmative: Peyton, McLaugh-
lin, Hatcher. 3.
In the negative; Musgrove, Lynch,
Richards. 3.
The Mayor gave the casting vote in
the negative.

a short time ago, a negro man was
killed by a white man named a. S.
Howell, with whom he was working, on
the Yazoo river between Satartia and
Yazoo City. From what we have heard
Of the facts, the act if not justifiable was
greatly provoked. Howell though hunt
ed like a wild beast by hundreds of armed
negroes and the Radical Sheriff of azoo,
had not been arrested at last accounts
But Mr.. Berry was arrested and i'm
prisoned on the charge of aiding his es-
cape.
BY our Yazoo City exchanges we learn
that Berry has been refused bail by the
Radical authorities. Their action is
nothing less than an outrage. The State
Constitution declares that "all persons
''shall, before conviction, be bailable by
sufficient sureties, except for capital ofen-
"ses, when the proof is evident, or pre-
sumption great" Berry is not even
charged with Il crime which the law pre-
scribes shall be punished capitally; and
yet he is restrained of his liberty in vio-
lation of his right to be bailed, guaranteed
by the Constitution framed by the Radi-
Gals themselves. His case is that of an
obscure person of whom we know nothing
personally, but it involves a principle
which concerns the whole people of the
State, and illustrates the vindictive spirit
which actuates the party in power. AS
victim of Radical injustice and persecu-
ton he is entitled to sympathy.

The Washington Era, Fred. Douglass
paper, and the organ of the Beast Butler
wing of the Radical party, finds in the
cruel, cowardly and vindictive policy of
its party towards the people of the South
since the war, an instance of magma
nimity" which is very much to be la
mented. 1t insists that ''there ought to
have been hangings throughout the
South, and ''confscation of the proper
''ty of prominent rebels" This is the
spirit that has dictated the policy of the
Republican leaders from the beginning
while there has not been a great deal of
changing" there have been arrests with
out warrant and punishment by court
martial in violation of law. ''Confsca-
ton" by means of oppressive taxation to
enrich the plunderers who have been put
into office despite the protests of the peo-
pie has been the order of the day. The
Republican party has nothing but its his
tory of cruelty and villainy to commend it.
self to the favor of our people.

Hon. Josiah Turner, the editor of the
Raleigh On. CD Sentinel, the leading
organ of the Democracy of the State, who
was imprisoned by Holden's minions, has
been released by order of L. 5. Judge
! Brooks, and has turned the tables upon
his pursuers. He has caused the arrest
of Kinks lieutenant, Bergen, and is after
Kirk himself with a sharp stick. In
default Of bail, Bergen is in Jail. Kirk
keeps out of the way. Turner also NOV
ed for bench warrant against Holden;
but the Court (of Holden's own appoint
ment,) decides that he can be reached
only by impeachment for abuse of execu-
tive authority. We know Turner well
and are assured that he will move reso-
lutely forward to the end of the game
inaugurated by the Radical officials
Before the war he was a Wing politician
of considerable note. During the war he
took somewhat prominent stand on the
Confederate side, and was elected to the
Confederate Congress, on what was I'M
derstood to be a compromise, or peace
platform, to which position he adhered
firmly against bitter opposition. He will
follow his convictions to their results, in
whatever he undertakes, and will not
stop to count the cost.

Missouri has now a more proscriptive
Constitution than any other State. 1t
provides that no person who took part in
the war on the side of the confederacy, or
even sympathised with it, shall vote
thus Furnishing opinions as well as acts.
The Republican leaders who imposed
these disabilities are in a quandary.-
They are afraid to continue them SO
abhorrent are they to the spirit of the age;
and yet they dread to remove them be-
cause they know it will result in their
own expulsion from power.

Ehe Pending Congressional EIec-
IiOn in mississippi.

Assuming that the Pilot speaks by
authority, and that an election is to he
ordered for members Of the 42nd Congress,
we desire to call the attention of all the
opposers of Radicalism to the necessity OF
making the necessary preparation for
bringing out, and concentrating upon, the
strongest and most available persons who
are eligible. BY proper organization the
1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 9th Districts can be
carried by the conservatives. In the
military election OF 1865 Notwithstanding
the large number of DISTINGUISHED persons,
they carried the LIST District by 5,206
majority the End by 5,436; the 3rd by
/ 800 and the 4th by 500. In the next
election all persons who were disfran-
chised in 1868 and 80 on account of
political offences, can participate; and
there were many thousands of that class.
We, therefore, think it absolutely certain
that these Districts can all be carried
against the Radicals, if the people are
united and active The importance Of
securing conservative Representatives
cannot be exaggerated. The political
of the next House Of Repre-
sentatives may depend upon the result
in this State

split in the Republican Party in
Missouri.

A split occurred in the State Conven-
ton of the Missouri Republicans on the
1st and 2nd inst, in consequence of a
disagreement on the question of enfran-
chising the white people of the State.
The minority insisted ON the passage of
a resolution declaring unequivocally in
favor of a constitutional amendment
which has been submitted to the people
for the removal of their disabilities. The
majority refused to pass such resolution
or to make it test of Republican ortho-
doxy; and when the vote (439 to 342)
was announced the minority bolted.
Each Convention nominated its own cam
didates. Gov. McClurg received the
nomination of the regulars, for Governor
and Ex-senator Gratz Brown, the nomi-
nation of the boilers. The ST LodIs
Republican observes thst singularly and
significantly enough, the very weapon
"the P"rublicans have used to slay their
enemies with, is the instrument of their
Gown suicide. They invented disfran-
''chisement in 1865 to disable the majority
'of the people; and acknowledgements
"comes back in 1870 to rend themselves
'asunder. The authors of a great wrong
upon the people of the State now stand
"before the world fighting over that
wrong"
The Conservatives have no ticket: and
will doubtless follow the example of
Tennessee and make the best bargain
they are able with that party which will
do most towards striking off their letters.
This accomplished, and they will have
sound working majority in the State.
