Repetition of the Political I'crse-
cutiOmS.

The political persecution of freemen in
this judicial district of ''the best govern
ment the world ever saw" by the agents
of that government has begun. AS will
be seen in our local columns, citizens of
Winston and Neshoba counties arrived
here yesterday under military guard.
All is now in readiness. The prison
ers are at hand. The grand jury has
been packed with such material as will be
likely to bring in indictments without re-
gard to their oaths. Have they not al
ready sworn that they belonged to no so
cieties that were organized to prevent
persons from exercising freedom of ac-
ton at the, ballot-box, when the majority
of them belonged to the Loyal League,
which swore its members to vote for the
league candidates? The packers of the
grand jury well knew the material they
we're working up. No attention was paid
to the law requiring jurors to be free
holders or house-holders, the only pre-
requisite was that the majority of the
jury should not be conscience holders
The Court sits, in all the mock majesty
of civil law in harmony with the bayon-
ct. Witnesses, prepared to swear any
thing required by the SUPERFICIAL, have
been collected and are in waiting to step
upon the stand and call upon Heaven to
witness what woeful crimes can be COM
mitted in the name of Liberty. "Oh /!
shame, where is thy blush"
And at Jackson, the seat of government of
the once proud and free State of Mississip-
pi, is to be repeated the direful wrongs upon
her citizens that Oxford has recently
been compelled to witness. Yet we hear
no protest from her so-called Executive,
that Eminent Man who sways the des-
! TIMES of Mississippi" This friend of
hers, he who threw himself in the breach
regardless of obliquy and pecuniary loss,
to save her, has no word of cheer for her
prosecuted sons, but looks on with APP
proving silence at this dastardly treat
ment. Well may Mississippians say if
such they are "save us from our
friends"
T. S.-Since the above was in type,
Judge Hill has displaced number of the
''mournful facts" that were on the grand
jury, and has replaced them with much
better material.

il il n rule Of construction universally
accepted by all, save the Radical Van
dals, that legislation to carry ont one
part of the Constitution must not violate
other parts. Under the Constitution the
judicial power of the United States does
not extend to the punishment of offences
against the State. This bill conflicts with
that provision. Under the Constitution
the privilege of the Writ of Habeas
Corpus cannot be suspended Except in
cases of rebellion or invasion" not
then even, unless 1.-THE public safety may
require IT," This bill authorizes the
President to suspend it at pleasure
Under the Constitution the President has
power to invade State with the troops
of the government only ON application of
the Legislature, OF of the Governor,
when that body is not in session. This
law authorizes him to send his troops in
to State and to seize citizens without
warrant or judicial accusation, in con-
tempt of the Legislature, or The Govern
or, or both combined.

In every aspect in which it can be
viewed this Bayonet Act which was pass
ed by the connivance of the Radical
Legislature, and the execution of which
is sanctioned in the full measure of its
atrocity by the Governor, is hideous
despotism, and the people in exercising
their right of suffrage are warned to pass
their verdict against it in the election of
a Legislature which should instruct the
Senators. and Representatives in Con-

The Wedding Of the Second Son Of Richard

J. Lathrop Motley.

From the London Morning Post. Jan, l9.l
p Yesterday was solenlnized at Frampton,
in Dorsetshire, the marriage between Mr..
Algernon Sheridan, second son OF Mr..
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and Miss Mary
Lathrop Motley, second daughter of the
distinguished author and historian, late
Minister Plenipotentiary from the United
States of America. The celebration of the
event was appointed to take place in the
village church, which was decorated for
occasion with evergreens and flowers,
while arches similarly ornamented were
erected from distance to distance along the
road by which the bridal party were to
pass from the park of Frampton to the
sacred building.
The bridal party wended its way to the
rural church. Ne setting down at the
doorsn being possible to carriages, the sue
cessive groups passed through the church.

were displayed on the occasion.
The bride was given away by her father,

brother, acted as the "best man." Previ-
Gus TO the ceremony, which was performed
by the Rev. Richard Tudor, vicar of
Frampton, the village choir of children
sang a wedding hymn they sang also the
choral responses during the service. The
party then returned to Frampton Court,
where splendid hreakfact had been pro-
Vlded. The inevitable appearance of one

nailed with glee; and, in compliment to

Frampton Court Ia the afternoon, to spend
the honeymoon at Pultimore Park, one of
the country seats of the bridegroom's

POLITICS IN MIsoURI.-The Tribu,e,s
Washington special says that letters re- {
ceiyed here from st. Louis, give some in
terestiBg details In regard 10 the political
situation there. Efforts that have been
made for some time past to reunite the two
Republican organizations is likely to be
crowned with success. A meeting of their
separate committees has been called forthe
purpose of forming new and general one;
this action is quickened by the fears enter
tanned that the Democrats will carry some
reactionary legislation, call a Constitution
al Convention, redistrict the State, and do
other things TO fasten theirrule upon Mis-
souri,. The State Senate would be check
upon any such design If the Republicans
were united, there being twenty of them
to fourteen Democrats. Some anxiety ie
felt as to the Gratz Brown wing standing
by the compromise. One of these Sena.
tors, Smith, of Clay county, is stated to
have introduced q bill providing for the
election of Constitutional Convention.

The hatred of some Of the people of Cali
fornia Of the Chinese eliminated recently in
a raid upon Chinese village at Los Angeles
and the sacking Of the place the murder Of
many Of the Chinese and the locking up in
the Jail Of others under pretense that they
were rioters. 1t is gratifying to learn that
this outrage has proved rather too much for
officials, who would have winked at smaller
disturbances, and some of the perpetrators
are likely 70 come to punishment
One Of the rioters was arrested on Friday
for stealing a diamond ring from the finger
Of Chinese doctor who had been hanged.
Another, German, was arrested for robbing
the trunk of one Of the victims. Eight
other rioters have been arrested The bet
ter portion of the people uphold the law, and
desire the punishment Of the criminals. The
citizens are forming a military company to
prevent a repetition of such scenes. The
coroner's jnry has found a verdict against
a large number of persons, of all nationali-
ties, for participating in the riot, and against
a number of others expressing sympathy With
and encouraging the rioters.

The popular idea Of Mexican politics is
well set forth in the following bit of pleas
antry from the Columbus (Ohlo) Journal -
The editor of the Louisville Ledger needs
watching. Some kind friends ought 70 sit
up with him. He has begun TO explain all
about Mexican politics and the revolution
there, and when it began, and who Is run
ming it, and which one it is, and all that sort
Of thing. If he is allowed to 20 on in this
way there can be nothing forctold as to the
horrible fate that awaits him. All the edi-
tors in the United States that have tried that
job in the last twenty years have gone stark
mad He will swear ne can do It, but his
friends must not allow his assertions to
swcrve them in the least from their purpose
to save him, for such assertions are but the
evidences Of that fearful insanity that will
soon blast his reason utterly. They are the
proofs Of the insanity which i working on
bin, beginning with the desire to write up
Mexico. When a man conceives a desire to
give an ineligible resume Of the politics Of
that country, the best thing that can be
done for him is TO shave his head.

ANOTHER Congressman
Stokes Of Tennessee has recently been dis
covered to have swindled the government out
of 500 600. Stokes got a bill passed by the
last Congress to pay company of Tennessee
Union soldiers for services during the war
and has drawn the larger part of their pay.
1t turns out that many if not most Of the
names on his pretended roll are fictitious.
Stokes thinks he ought not to be prosecuted
because he has been of service to the Repub-
lican cause in the South. But the govern
mcnt doesut favor this direct system of
paying for party service out of the treasury.
1t Is only the Indirect way, like Office hold
ing, that is recognized as legitimate Ac-
cordingly Stokes is to be prosecuted, perhaps
convicted, and then probably pardoned.
