The univerSiIy---EIHc "KscPubIi-
cnM HOnf.aE -

Since our article in reference to the
State University was put in type, the
Pilot has made its appearance, declaring
that the present Board Of Trustees Cor
majority thereof is Republican," and
thus virtually admitting that the changes
to which we have referred, were made
by Gov. Alcorn for political causes.
The Pilot attacks the past management
of the University, and boasts of what
will be accomplished by the Republican"
regime.
Before the war, the Institution was one
of the most prosperous and iourishing in
the South, and when rudely seized by
the Radical authorities, who for the first
time in its history have sought to prosti-
tute it to political uses, it babe fair to
reach its former prosperous condition.
The Pilot speaks Of the assets belong
ing to the Seminary fund, which were
obtained for the sa& of the lands donated
for educational purposes, and We're de-
posted in 1888 with the Planters Bank
for collection. But it fails to state that
in 1913 on the recommendation of the
Governor CA. q. Brown the Legislature
made it the duty of the State Treasurer
to credit the University fund with interest
on all the moneys belonging to it, and it
has made liberal appropriations from the
State Treasury by means Of which the
Institution has been built up and sus-
tanned. The action of the Legislature in
1S33-thirty-seven years ago-furnishes
poor pretext for the Governors raid
upon the late excellent management Of
the Institution.
The Pilot also aIludes mysteriously to
the alleged default of one of the removed
Trustees, charging that he was entrusted
with State Warrants, and failed to restore
the money into which they were convert
ed. In justice to all parties, and partic-
ularly to the Trustees who were removed,
we call upon the Pilot to name the de-
linquent Trustee referred to, and the
amount for which he Is in default. If
Gov. Alcorn has made the delinquency
of single member, the occasion for his
sweeping changes in the Board 50 as to
make it, according to his organs own adj
mission, a Radical, or Republican, A."

Elsewhere will be found the statement
of j. j. Gainey, the Deputy Sheriff,
who went with a squad of soldiers to ar
rest Dr. Gibson at his home in Sunfower
county in January last. According to
this version of the affair, the fatal shot
was fired upon DIR. Gibson by another
party, from his side or rear, while the
Doctor was engaging his antagonist in
the front. 1t makes but little difference
with the public by whom the fatal wound
was inflicted. DIR. Gibson was killed in
the presence of his family while gallantly
resisting what he regarded an illegal
seizure of his person and invasion of his
Preside. His death was the consequence
of the subversion Of civil government by
the Republican party, and the enforce
ment of despotic military rule, and il
stands monument of its cruelty and in

The COMING Elections.

Delaware votes next. BY the aid OF
the negro vote, the Radicals look for
victory in this pluci1y little Common
wealth. We trust they viii be mistaken.
Heretofore the Tennessee election has
been held in August, but the last Legis-
lature changed the time TO the Tuesday
after the first Monday in November
The Conservatives confidently expect 20
secure seven of the eight Congt9ssmen to
which the State is entitled, andmay elect
the whole delegation. Tennessee is now
represented by eight Radicals. In Sep
tember, elections VIII be held In Maine
Vermont and California. Maine and
Vermont are too strongly RADICAL to adj
nit of hope Of a successful contest on the
part Of the Conservatives, but it Is posi-
bic that the latter may elect Congress-
man or two in the first named State
California is Conservative and sends two
Conservatives and one Radical 60 Com
cress. October brings the contest in
he larger States, which viii determine
the completion of the Forty-7ee7nd Con
gress.
1t is too much to anticipate 2 tonserv.
alive majority in the House; but i, i5con.
fdently expected that the anti-Hadie-l.
will gain enough strength to put a stop to
the business OF tearing down State gov
ernments in the South because the PEG
pie donot vote in the interest OF ihe Re
publican party.

The new Board met last week. Gen.
Clark was among the absent members
but the new Radical element, Warner,
Tarbell a. Co. were there in force the
faces of Walthall, Howry, lerger,
Young and Others who were removed for
political causes, were sadly missed. The
Board elected Rev. DIR. Lyon to lhc chair
Of Metaphysics; and Judge Campbell

The salaries of the professor were
raised $500 Of tutors 5000.
Formerly, the duties OF Secretary and
Treasurer were blended in the same office.
and were performed for $500. Now they
are separated, and the Secretary j. t1 ra-
ceive $500. We do not know what tie

viii be. The innovation having been
made al an additional cost to the public
without securing q more faithful per-

rage. 1t accords with rule Of the party
in power, that the people are mere lambs,

The Memphis Avalanche, which since
Col. Galloway's disconnection with it, has
shown not a friendly spirit to the conserv-
alive organization and has inclined to the
third party, on disguised Radical, move
ment, in late impression frankly says:
"There is no hope for the Radical par
''ty, which had possession of every aven-
''ue to political power in the State of
Tennessee two years ago. to recover
what was lost by them in 1869. The
Radical party in this State has lived and
"died. Its work of passion and abuse of
power, under the shadow of the gener-
al government Is finished. No men or
combination of men or circumstances,
can restore political power to the
Radical leaders of 1865 to 1869. The
country is happy of its radiance. They
were spawned by the war, lived and
grew fat on its ravages, and were left
among US like so much drift-wood by
the floods of the Mississippi The duty
''of the hour is fully understood by the
people of Tennessee, and by the people
of the other Southern States"

The State journal, Radical organ Of
Richmond, Virginia, as sort of an apol-
ogy for the poor success attending its
party in the reconstructed States, saws
The Republican party is -beggared

"and file belong to the very poorest class,
land its leaders are, in the main, Gov
"ernment oflee-holders living on their sal
aries, or ofice-seekers who have neither
money nor friends to further their for
tunes" And, worse than all, the Jour
NAL adds: eve also have the largest
share of the ignorance, and very little
''of the intelligence"
The Cincinnati Enquirer adds that it
was to obviate these misfortunes that
Grant furnished Holden, of North Caro-
Ina, with ten companies of United States
troops to aid him in carrying the election.

The MiIitin.

Elsewhere we have published list of
officers appointed by the Governor under
the new Military bill. Formerly, the
people of our State, in the quiet pursuit Of
their avocations, devoted but little of
their attention to military matters. Oc-
casionally, there was volunteer eompa-
ny, but it was organized more for social
purposes than to cultivate the arts of
war.
Now, however, it is different. We
have sounding manifestoes of warlike
preparations, and military appointees
talk of their exploits in preparing troops
for action and leading them to the field,
and express serious apprehensions that
they will be unequal to the momentous
responsibilities which are thrown upon
them, as if big wars were to be fought
and great hetacombs of human victims
were to be inundated on the altar of pa
triotism or ambition. And all, at vast
expense to people impoverished by a
long and devastating war and overloaded
with taxes
Why all thisr Is not the State recon
structed on the most approved plan of
'Ioyalty2" Are the Radical leaders not
gorging themsel Supon the fruits of the
sweat and bloc Of the toiling masses,
with none to moI~ st or make them afraid?
Are not the laws enforced? Are there
not fewer crimes committed in the State,
notw sa5 landing the trials to which the
pa nee of the people have been sub
jeeted, than in any Northern State of
equal, or proportionate population, where
anarchy has not been introduced by the
overthrow of civil law and temptation to
violence has not been created by the fore
ing upon them of swarms of alien office
holders?
The people need peace. They long
for peace. They intend to have peace,
if the Radical rulers will permit them to
enjoy it. Then, why all this pomp, and
parade. and preparation for war?

Another ALABAMA HoRRoR-Our
Alabama exchanges record that on the
evening Of the 18th, Hon. j. r. Wal
throp, conservative member of the Al
ALBANIA Legislature, was ambushed and
shot with thirteen large buckshot, near
his residence. He was one Of the most
peaceable. as well as one Of the most use
ful citizens of his county. The Mobile
Register says that "tbe circumstances in

We observe that Jack Hamilton, Of
Texas, who was Union man during the
war, and a Republican subsequently, in
recent speech at Bonham, referring to
certain acts of the bogus Legislature of
that State said 81 do not advise you TO
"rebel, but l do say that it is not only
''your right, but it is your duty, to resist
"such measures as the militia and police
"bill~with moral force, and, if that be
intellectual, resist with physical force
''before you will suffer troops to be quar-
''tered upon you in time of peace. -
Th'e IS bravely said, but the wonder is
T. Jack has just begun to get mad. If
people will unite thoroughly and
work resoIutely, in less than two years
they can right all their wrongs at the
balIot-box.

Morgan Endorsed.

The Holly Springs Star, the leading
organ of the Republican party in North
Mississippi, which during and subsequent
to, the canvass was conducted by DIR.
Compton, approves the conduct of Sena-
tor Morgan for putting into practice the
Amalgamation doctrines of his party. 1t
commends him for his disregard of the
''mean prejudice" of race in establishing
his marital relations; and commends the
choice of his selection, saying:
The sin tn at Morgan committed is that he
honorably married the woman OF ms choice
Notwithstanding she
has black blood. We had the pleasure of
meeting this couple Bt the depot ON their
way north. The lady is very handsome
and is also, highly accomplished. we are
not surprised that Col. Morgan wanted heT,
had we known less of him. we might nave
been surprised that he had the moral cour-
aye to take her in the face OF the bitter and
mean prejudice. which exists against co'ored
people throughout the United States. Had
Morgan married an Indian woman. or a
cannib al from the Feejee Islands, he would
have been louized throughout the country.
az he has married native American an ac-
compilshed lady. and christian, we sup
pose he ~lll have TO submit to the meanest
kind of prescription from some of the boast
ed christians OF our land.
So much for the Holly Springs Star
Another Republican paper, the American
Citizen, at Canton, palliates the conduct
of Morgan, and not one in the State has
indicated the least disapproval of it.
