THE OLD AND NEW CON

At midnight, March 4th, the
Forty-drat Congress fied in con-
rulsious. The House was quite

governed NeGple. They tried to
seal the infamy Of their exit by
an attempt to abolish the two

from an chance to reta.d Radi-

Our account of the fire and
bloodshed at Meridian, we copy
from the Meridian Gazette. 1t Is
no doubt, a temperate and impair
tiol account, and, coming fromtle
cool head OF Col. Shannon the
most implicit reliance ca be
placed pom it. The NJ cury'
rom S me mischance, l. S not
reache us this week We, b Tever,
borrowed a copy from a lend, in
whicl Col. Horn distinctly char
ges ZONE to Gov. AIcorn the
rimc responsibility Of the out
cages connected with the late riot.
The Col. addresses the drgumentun
dd hominem so sharply to His Ex-
cellency that he must feel his cars
Jingle. He had addressed a letter
to him, with a request that Sturgis,
the Radical Mayormight leremov-
Ell. This he refused, and, from Il
quotation in the Mercury from hi,
reply, he enunciated the animus OF
his plan of reconstruction, al have
friends to reward and enemies to
punish" If this is the spirit that
actuates His Eminence, the scenes
Of Meridian may be reenacted all
over the State, until q reconstruc-
ton may be accomplished very
different from the one intended.
The advocates of law and order
during the terrible and exciting
three days of destruction in our
sister town, bore themselves with
a calmnoss and dignity beyond ali
praise, and no doubt prevented an
indiscriminate massacre. We
have no doubt that the false color.
ings Of TIVE seoundrels who have
fastened to the Capitol will raise
a howl il the Radical camp, and
rouse tn 8norant passions of tic
motley, plcbald, crew that consti.
tutcS tn H3stratum of that party
But as on by one the facts are
gathered ana connected togcthc"
the whole tn; lg will be so clear
that these dregs of Radicalisn
will subsic G. and fall down into
their origin ii obscurity.
