The vile things truthfully alleged
against the Republican party in the Leg
islature through the Pilot, in defence of
Gov. Alcorn, are the strongest reasons
why it should be abhorred by all good
men

A Prominent Republican Senator
Puts the NAOnGreI creed Of
his Party into
Practice.

The marriage of leading Republican
in this State, A. T. Morgan, Senator
from Yazoo county, to woman of color,
is an event of no ordinary significance.
1t is practical demonstration of the doc
trines of the party of which Morgan is a
CONSPICUOUS member.
AS explained by those who claim to be
the least advanced of the devotees of the
Republican faith, the recognition of dis
tinctions of race in the relations of life, are
founded on mere prejudice" which
pediency requires should be consulted I'M
til they are gradually worn away by the
force of reason. The advanced 'Republi-
cans, while admitting the existence of
what is termed prejudice" by their
more cautious associates, contend that
this objection is so unworthy and paltry
that it should be trampled in the dust by
"the party of progress" This is the at
titude of nine-tenths of its leaders, and
Morgan is among the number. He has
the boldness to put into practice precisely
what he breaches. He is pioneer, in
the way his party is going. Mongrelism,
in his and their estimation, is not crime
to be visited with the condemnation of
society. Opposition to it is abhorred by
them as the offspring of "mean preju-
dice" having no stronger foundation than
the "color of the skim" 1t is on this
ground that in passing the School Law,
care was taken to avoid the remotest ref
erence to the fact that there are two races
of people in the State. God Almighty
made it so, and fixed the distinctions
which mark the difference between them,
indelibly. But Republicanism in its
madness, dictates that these distinctions
shall be ignored and repudiated. And
a prominent law-giver God save the
mark , illustrates his faith by his acts.
We have no more censure for Morgan
than for the rest of his tribe. They all
profess to believe exactly as he believes.
He, in his defiant illustration of his faith,
has given proof of his sincerity. But all
their acts tend that way. The social
railroad. junketings, and steamboat ex-
cursions; the free and easy punch drink
ing sat the Mansion" without refer
ence ''to the color of the skim"
and last but not least, the matri-
monial exploit of Morgan, are all part and
parcel of Republican theory put into
practice.

A STRONG CoMBINATIoN.-W are
glad to see that the Holly Spring Report
er and the Conservative have been merg-
ed, and that in the future the two united
will be conducted by Maj. Falconer, of
the Reporter, and Mr.. Calhoon, of the
Conservative. They are both able
writer's, and tho not agreeing in the late
canvass, they are united on the pending
issues. In all the essentials of a good
newspaper we predict that their journal
will be a success.

MILITARY RE-UNIoN.-The proceed
ings of the meeting of the surviving
members of the 18th Mississippi Regi-
ment, at Water Valley, will be found in
another column. The occasion was one
of melancholy interest to the heroes
there assembled. The address of Capt.
Merlin was an appropriate tribute to
their fallen comrades. This reunion will
be followed by others; until the custom
of holding them becomes established. 1t
is well that it is so. They will serve to
keep alive sympathies, and cultivate
friendships, which ought never to grow
cold.

his record of uncompromising opposition'
to the infamies of the entire system of
Republican legislation, speaks for itself:

The 'SOGice Holders" Tax...-The
People to Foot the Bill
After All!

The people of this State have learned,
or if they have not, they will have been
taught before another twelve month,
that taxes have been increased five hun
dred per cent that five times as much
money will be taken from their pockets
(and in default of paying it, their last cents
worth of property will be seized, or if
they are properties, that they will be
thrown into PRISON. as they were required
to pay for the support of their govern
ment in the palmiest days of their pros
perity before fire, and faggot, and knife
in war, and military commissions in
peace, did the work of destruction. 1t
is not news to them that these enormous
taxes have been levied, and will be col
lected with Shylock precision to feed the
from far and near, to prey upon the
fruits of their toll. But some further
insight may be obtained into the mode
by which their money is spent, and the
motives that have prompted the opium
der" combination in Ievying these extra
taxes, by an examination of the follow
ing circular which has gone out from the
Rooms of the Republican State Exec
utive Committee" A special tax is laid
upon the Republican Office holders
which may be paid Gin warrants" And
to enable the said coffee holders" to
meet the levy, the people have been tax
ed. They are at last saddled with the
burden. The "office holders" are SIM

A telegram announces that in North
ern city few days ago a white man in
dulged in the pastime Of shooting a ne
gro dead for jOstling him on the side
walk. This summary treatment of the
''man and brother" for trivial offences is
frequent in the States whose Representa-
tives in Congress have attempted to COM
pei social equality between the races, in
the South, and who disfranchised the
whites in the very laws in which they de
clared the political superiority of the
blacks. There is no report that the ex-
ecutioners of such vengeance as the tele-
graph reports to have been practiced in
the case referred to, are ever brought to
punishment. But how different in the
Southern States, where the negro, having
votes to bestow, is set up as an idol by
the Republican leaders. The citizens of
Wesson who resisted an armed mob who
were entering the town with the avowed
purpose of slaughtering its inhabitants,
Gin the phrase of the rioters to ''clean it
out" are denounced by the Pilot, the
organ of the State Administration as "a
gang of outlaws" and the partizan judge
is applauded for denying them their con-
stitutional right of bail. Gen. Clanton,
of Alabama, insists that the Republican
party is a combination of 'thieves and
fools" The description would be more
accurate, if he had added--fhypocrites. f"

WASHINGTON, March II, 1870.
<'asIat-Trasier EiItier Ce,ssured.
The feature Of attraction for the srccta-
tors Of the House to-day was the Butler
case-.pn the two reports nj the Military
Conmittee charging him with selling ca
dct.hip. 0ne of the reports recommended
censu,c and the other expulsion. There
was no debate, and upon motion to amend
the resolution Of cepsurc BY substituting
therefor the resolution to expel the vote
stood loi tots. The substitute being adopted,
the next vote was upon expulsion, which,
under the Constitution, requires Il two
tllil.ls vote for its adoption. Before the
yeas AMI nays were called, Mr.. Schenck,
who was opposed to expelliug Butler, asked,
in IL significant manner, if the resolution
Of expulsion should be lost whether it would
moi be in order to move that Butler be GEN.
eured. The Speaker replied that il would.
The object Of Schcnck was to present this
fact 10 the House in the nature OF an
apyeal to vote down expulsion and
afterwards censurc. 1t failed Of its pur-
pose. Tor the next vote for expulsion
showed an increase of one over the first
vote: but two-thirls not having voted in
the affirmative the resolution was lost; and
bv virtue Of the Constitution and by the
skin Of bis teeth Mr.. Butler retains his
seat in the House. Whether he is better
cff in the estimation Of the people IL, how
ever, doubtful, stree the House immedi-
atelv proceeded to vote upon the resolution
Of censure, which had been renewed by
Mr.. S;oughton, and it was adopted without
a dissenting voice, the ayes being l5'1.
Mr.. Morgan moved that "A request that
Butter resign be added, but this was re-
fused; so the caics-trader, Batter: stands
ccusurcd by the House of Representatives,
Of which he is, Of course, an unworthy
member.
Whilst the ayes and noes were taken
Butler moved about uneasily from place to
place, and upon the announcement Of the
vote his face indicated considerable nervous
anxiety.
Revenue Collections Oh Tobacco In

The collections of revenue in Virginia on
stamps and tobacco for four years ending
June 80, 1869, were 1886, G9o.I2. The
collections for the eight months commencing
July !, 1869, and ending February Is,
1870, were $2,782, 712.79, or s395,s0i.67
more than the whole amount for the four
years preceding. During the past eight
months II ,79G,329 pounds of tobacco we're
shipped i'll bond from Richmond, upon
which the greater portion Of the tax was
