A MANLY PRoTEsT. the Legis-
lative proceedings of yesterday will be
found a manly protest by the noble little
band of Conservatives in the Legislature
and some liberal Republicans against the
social equality clauses of the Railroad
bill.
Our people may rest assured that they
will do all in their power to protect them
from this, and all other outrages propo-
sed by that mongrel body misscalled the
Legislature. They may be overpowered
by numbers, but they are making noble
fight against the agrarian measures OF the
enemies of the white people of Missis-
siDni.

Col. NJ. c. GALLowAY.-We are
much gratifed to see that this distin-
guished journalist and chivalrous gentle
man, has again put on editorial harness.
1t viii be remembered that he retired a
few weeks since from the Avalanche be-
cause the principal proprietor differed
with him as to It's political course. He
is now connected with the Appeal. The
Avalanche without Galloway is like the
play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
We predict that the Appeal will soon be
to the Democracy Of Memphis and of
Tennessee, and, we may add, Of North
Mississippi, what the Avalanche has been.
The South could NOT well spare from
the helm Of journalism at this time 50
gifted and experienced writer As Col.
Galloway. and we extend "a him cordial
welcome upon his return to his Mace
among the editors Of the Democrats
press. + Z =.

= Omce-
II IL with pleasure we announce that
Gov. Alcorn has succeeded by constant
attention to the bushes Of his Office. In
catching up with the Legislative branch
Of the State Government in their work
It win be remembered that the Gov
ernor was 20 much engaged that he could
not attend the 18th amendment celebra-
ton, social equality gathering, and Re
publican jubilee that came off at -Vicks-
burg on the 18th inst, Notwithstanding
his heart was with the celebrators on that
great occasion.
Having caught up with his work, the
Governor attended the ceremonies of the
dedication of the Jewish Temple in
yicksburg, on last Friday, the Goth. The
people of the State will appreciate the
self-sacrifcing disposition of the Govern
or which prompted him to forego the
pleasure of attending Notification of his
party where all its tenets were practiced
and where he would have had an oppor'
tunity to give a detailed statement of wal
record of the Alcorn family, for the
more transformations ceremonies of re
ligious order.
Taxpayers who foot the bills for the
Governors services must not find faul
with his having taken this holiday; they
must remember that he would not tax,
one the week before, besides,
'-All work and no play,
Would make Jack a dull boy"

Another 18th Amendment CeIe-
bradiOD.

The Republicans of Madison county
have determined to celebrate the adop-
ton of the 18th Amendment, at Canton,
tomorrow.
If Canton really wants the capitol. and
we have heard rumor to that effect, this
is her time to put in a second edition of
the Vicksburg bid. But take warning
by Vicksburg's failure, and do not break
down SO suddenly. Stick to the members,
black and tan, through thick or thin. Go
in to win. Face the issues, social equal
ity, negro superiority, and all the other
dogmas of the loyal party. Fight it
out on that line the whole day, if it is
hot and dusty. And then Canton will
be ahead of Vicksburg, whose stomach
was too weak to take the dose prescribed
by her doctors, though she did succeed in
getting it to her lips.

The Brandon Republican keeps the
Radicals so hot with its pointed and truth
full accounts of their nefarious deeds
that they would rejoice to be able to sup
press it. But as the time in which Rad
zeal officials could suppress Democratic
papers has passed, they content them
selves with comparing it to Brick Pome-
roy's paper. The Republican is not in
much danger Of dying If it contains with
in it as many Of the elements Of success
as the New York Democrat, which is ac-
knoWledged to be one of the ablest and
most enterprising journals in that strong
hold Of Democracy.
Long may tho Refnhlirsn wave.

THE PnoT CHANGES PRoPRIEToRs-
There has been another change in the
proprietorship and editorial management
of the Pilot. Fisher & Kimball have
sold to Kimball, Raymond & Co. p. p.
Bailey, Esq, retires from the editorial
chair, and it is occupied by some name
less individual.
The Alcorn wing and home Radicals
are jubilant on account of their victory
o-er the carpet-baggers. They have been
routed, horse, foot and dragon, and
driven in disgrace from the management
of the "official journal.

Railroad Company /:

Hon. Z. H. Stiles, Republican member
of the Legislature from Claibore county,
was among the first to sign the protest
against the attempt to enforce social
equality on Railroads by Legislative
enactment, which we published in last
Fridays issue. BY some accident his
name was not among the signers, we
make this statement in justice to him.
He has taken bold stand against that
Ubiquitous measure, and it is due him
that it should be known.

The Pilot of this morning in publish
ing the Official journal of the Legisla-
ture of yesterday only gives one name,
that of Hon. I. S. Maxey, of Rankin,
to the protest made against the social
equality clauses in the Railroad bill.
Twenty-Five are known to have signed
il, and are entitled to be so recorded. =
Whether they were not properly record
ed by the Clerk or omitted by the Pilot,
we have no means ofknowing, but that it
was signed by all the Conservatives pres
emit and some Republicans we do know,
and they should see to it that they are so
recorded.

1t is not objected that people who feel
grateful to the federal soldiers for what
they did in the late war, shall decorate
with flowers the graves of those who died,
if they think proper. But for the parti-
Fan majority in Congress to prescribe by
law that the custom shall become national,
and that the day set apart for its observ-
ance shall become national holiday, is
inexpressibly narrow-spirited and bigoted.
And yet, on motion of Mr.. Schenck, a
Radical leader in the House of Repre-
sentatives, the following resolution has
passed that body:
The Both of May being the day appoint
ed and accustomed tO be observed for the
decoration of the graves of the soldiers who
died in the war in defense of he Union
against rebellion, public holiday be fOrev-
or observed as such by the people of the
United States.
AT least one Republican newspaper has
bad the good sense to protest against this
measure, the Philadelphia Enquirer, and
to depict its evil consequences-saying:
This law of Mr.. Schenck's proposes, by
It's extension over the territory OF the con-
quered TO keep alive the old and engender
new animosites. We are not sure that it
will be even wise to enact such 4 law, and
we are certain it will not be magnanimous.
The need of to-day from one end of the
country to the other is a reunion of interests
and fraternal feeling between the North and
South. The first can never be secured until
the latter is secured, aud neither will BE-.
likely to follow such legislation as Mr..
Schenck's joint resolution suggests.
We fully endorse the declaration of a
contemporary journal, that there are sew
eral millions of the people of the United
States who cannot, and will not, accept
this holiday even though it be established
by act of Congress. 1t may command
the respect of the servile creatures in the
South who are living upon the fruits of
dishonest Radical legislation, and are in
duty bound to lick the hand that feeds
them with other peoples money, but it
viii be repudiated by the unpurchased
and unpurchasable masses.

editorship of his own organ is rather a
queer position for Governor

RADICAL LEGIsLATIoN. We publish in
another column discussion in the u. S.
Senate on bill to enforce the provisions
of the 10Th amendment The speech of
Mr.. Thurman, Democratic Senator from
Ohio, exposes the character of the mea-
sure. 1t is in keeping with the malig-
nant policy of the dominant party, and
though aimed especially at the prescribed
class in the South, will operate oppres-
sively in other sections. The spirit of
the measure will be drawn from the
speech of Morton, a Radical Senator
from Indiana, who, in the course of the
debate, declared that he "would never
consent that any participant in the re-
''bellion should ever come into Congress
cor take part in the government until he
chad given evidence of loyalty. The
policy of conciliation," said this ven
omous Radical "would sacrifice the Union
men of the South" and he insisted upon
enforcing a policy of vengeance in deal
ing with the class whom he called "ene-
mics of law and order in the South"
The people who are the objects of this
SANDER and malignity, will take note.

CRoPs.-Accounts are rather favorable
than otherwise of the growing crops of
the various sections. Cotton and corn
are somewhat backward in the Southern
States but the stands are good and the
work well advanced. The yield of grain
in the wheat and corn growing States
promises to be larger than for years past
"a gratifying fact inasmuch as many of
our Southern planters have neglected TO
plant sufficiency of corn and are relying
upon other sections for their supplies.

The Legislature is hammering away
ON Revenue bill. 1t is agreed by all
the Mongrels that they will drive their
foul hands deep into the pockets of the
people; and the only question is how far
they will dare to go. Let them beware !
They have no right to tax the people for
any other than the legitimate purposes
of government The spirit of resentment
is not dead
