ELECTION OF STATE RMHNTEm
"ReklaW," the jackson CORES
pendent Of the Vicksburg Times,
writes that the question Of elect
ing a State Printer has assumed a
new phase, that the new Constltu-
lion makes no provision for the
election Of a State Printer. It's
true the Constitution is silent
upon this question, yet the cleo
ton Of a State Printer is strictly
Constitutional and legal. The
Constitution provides that all
laws not conflicting with the Con.
stitution and not passed in the
furtherance Of secession nor in
the aid of rebellion shall continue
in full effect and force until re-
pealed by the Legislature or until
they expire by their own limita-
ton. On page III, Sec. VII Of
the Revised Code can be found
the authority for the election
of State Printer AS this
law is not in conflict with
the Constitution nor was it
created in the furtherance Of
secession, nor in the aid of the
rebellion, it yet exists, and where
its provisions are strictly COM
piled with there will be full and
authority for the election of
4 State printer.
"Reklaw," is generally a well
informed correspondent, but in
this instance he has accepted
uniformed street rumor for fact.
There is no system which is capa-
BILE of more abuse than this plan
Of farming out the public printing
to the favorite of the dominant
1t has no checks upon it
whatever, and the party which is
enough to elect is always
sufficiently strong to allow the
bills as presented, and they are Of
zen outrageously extravagant.
The present law should be re.
and the printing should
then be let to the lowest bidder.

BUDDHISN.---As the HindOo Is
the most ancient Of religions, so the
Buddhist is the one which is profess
ed by the largest portion Of the hui
man race. II is the religion Of Bur-
NAB. CeylOn, China, Siam, Thibet
and Russian Tarlary, and is compu-
ted to claim as many as 369,000,000
among its votaries. "Gautama," or
"eakyamounce," It's founder, was
born In Bengal, about the seven
tenth century before Christ. Yet
India at present contains no mod.
ern temples of its worship, and no
native Of India,t that l have ever met,
knew anything Of It's fonnder, or
was even acquainted with the term
Buddha or Buddhist. It's doctrines
are the most curious OF those that
have ever been promulgated, aud
appear even now to be but scarcely
understood In all their ramifca-
tons. According 10 original Budd-
hism, there Is no Creator, nor be.
ing that is self-existent and eternal.
The great object Is the attainment
In this life OF complete abstraction
from all worldly affairs and pas
sions, and the ultimate res alt Of en-
tire humiliation.
Like the Hindoo, the Buddhist
believes in TRANSPORTATION of souls,
and until utter humiliation is
reached, he is doomed to SHIFT his
earthly tenement from form to
form, according to deeds done in
the flesh. It is therefore the great
object. Of all beings, who would be
released from the sorrows Of sue
cessive birth, to seek the ~construc-
ton Of the moral cause Of COntin-
ued existence, that is, the. cleaving
10 existing objects Of evil desire,
1t Is only possible to accomplish
this end by attending to q prescTlbed
course of discipline, and by fixing
the mind upon the perfection Of
Buddha. Those who, aftsr sue
cessive births, have entirely des-
troyed all evil desires, are called
."Rahuts," and afer death the Rahut
attains "Nirwana," or ceases to ex-
ist. The actual meaning of the
word Rahut is Tranquility, and it
appears to DO the same word which
Is used on q small scale, 10 express
the soothing qualities Of that far
famed Eastern sWeetmeat the RAJ
hui lukma, "morssls Of tranquility"

The ROMANCE OF SPANISH HIsToRY.
by j. q. Abbott.
Though this Is called the ro-
nance of Spanish history, It does
not imply fiction. There Is an air
OF romance, especially about Span
lsh history, which Is fact and not
fiction. This history presents the
history Of Spain In. a manner
highly attractive and devoid of the
dry te%chnicalities too common In
history.
The author of this work says in
bis preface that she cherishes the
hope that this volume may aid In
alluring the eager readers of onr
land from the present aggressing
devotion to fiction, to the former
instructive and not less romantic
incidents of real history"
The work is handsomely print
ed and bound, and well illustrated.

THE 1iSSIssIPPI VALLEY
NAVIGATION COMPANY.
tE,nu 49,. n n...h.-

The constant and proper naviga-
ton of the Mississippi valley,
Astounding as IL does in cereal and
mineral wealth, Is of the utmost
importance, not only to the people
Of those states lying Immediately
In the valley, but also TO the people
Of those commonwealth of the
south aud west, which, while not
lying, strictly speaking in the val
ley, tlnd II necessary as O CONNER.
cial highway. No amount of rail.
way communication will ever Sc
riOusly trench on the traffic of the
Mississippi as long as its waters are
provided with vessels sufficient to
accommodate the trade which Of,
fers, and this, now immense, will
grow into gigantic proportions as
the country between the Ale
gheny aud Rocky mountains
Is developed. The transportation
Of freight in bulk can always be
done cheaper aud at less risk than
by rail, aud, as we have already
said, all we need now Is more steam
ers. There are a great many now
blowing the Mississippi and its
tributaries, but very few are adapt
ed to the needs Of commerce, from
the fact that In certain seasons Ofthe
year, when the water becomes scant,
they are forced TO tie up. Because
Of this suspension, not only the
interests Of the valley suffer, but
the holders Of steamboat stock fail
to reap the rich return which they
ought to, aud, under other circum.
stances, they would do.
To Obviate this evil, the Missis-
sippi Valley Navigation Company
has been formed. They have now
under contract a number Of boats,
the models and machinery of which
have been patented, aud which,
when completed, will cause a revo-
luton in the navigation Of West
ern waters. These boats can
easily attain a speed Of twenty five
miles an hour, and being low pres
sure and Of Il peculiar construction
are not liable TO explosion. Their
bulls will be divided into water
tight compartments, which will
render sinking next to all impossi-
bility. Freight and passage, owing
TO the rapidly of the vessels, wiz
be reduced almost fifty per cent,
thus enabling this company to mo.
nOpOlize the river trade, and TO dis
lance the railroads in cheapness and
rival them in speed. The benefits
conferred by this company upon
the South and West are so obvi-
Gus that the Legislature of Lou
isiana has subscribed 100000
cash to the capital stock, and indi-
vidual subscriptions in lands and
money have poured in from all
until now the company has
on its books 100000 in cash and
real estate securities. Mississippi
and Tennessee will, beyond any
subscribe literally to the
stock, and projects are on foot in
both of those States to secure sums
equal to that subscribed by this
State.
We cannot see why the stock of
This company should not be eager
y sought after, as the company
have already subscribed in genuine
securities enough money to carry
out all their plans to a successful
termination. To those DESTROYS of
investing, we know of no better
opportunity than the purchase of
his stock. The prospects of the
company are, to say the least, ex-
'eedingly iattering, and we would

Mn. EDITOR: Judging by the
tone Of several communications
lately published in our city papers,
It appears that the Vicksburg
public Is somewhat exercised
about the moral pollution which
laints the atmosphere Of Wash
ingtOn street by reason Of the pres
ence Of a number Of gambling
hells on that great thorOughfare,
and Of the many prostitutes who
dash through it in gay equipages,
or promenade It's sidewalks.
The complaints made are not
at all surprising, for certainly our
sense of decency should be
shocked at these exhibitions OF
crime and immortality, SO glaring
in their character that the dis
guise, If resorted 10 at all, is SO
thin as to expose and invite rather
than hide. But it may be well to
enquire how far our decent peo-
pie are responsible for these nuis-
ances and their defiance Of pub.
lie opinion. Is acknowledged
crime proneto such public exhi-
bition Of itself unless, it feels
itselft to be winked at by respecta-
bility. Does not its asserted i'm.
munity spring from our own loose
ways and habits? Not necessarily
in the particular form of crime
complained of, but in our smaller
crimes, and our carelessnes about,
and Indifference to the tendencies,
to vice and immortality in many
things apparently Of little moment,
Judging at least by our treatment
of them.
In other words may we not be
seating the fruit of our own do
ings," and may not these great
scars, or vices, complained OF, be
but the running together Of many
little ones that start from our
selves? And may we not be re-
sponsible ourselves to no incon-
siderable extent for this monster
Of hideous crime" individuals,
rarely II ever start out in life great
criminals. The great crimes
they commit are the aggregations
Of the smaller ones. So Of the
Of communities. These
outbreaking sins in communities
that so shock US, are but
the aggregations Of smaller
sins obeying the laws Of growth
and Development. If all the re-
spectacle people Of Vicksburg
would go to church regularly, and
give up their self-acknowledged
irregularities in many things,
there would be no gamblers TO
in a very short while. Dry
up the fountains and the great
itself will soon dry up. We
sometimes hear our politicians
talk about their opponents "or-
5anizing hell but we forget that
my community can organize hell
morally and socially, just as eff
'ectually as it can be done politi.
by disregarding the claims of
'eligion and Of morals, the founda

If we would exterminate evil
We must dig it up by the roots.
Of gamblers is only cut
ing down the trunk. The sab
oath breaking, profane swearing,
md other sins INDUCED in by re.
'pectable people, are sufficient to
produce a crop Of gamblers every
ear.
There is 4 sad declension in
morals everywhere. Our boosted
