Washington papers of the 9th report
that the following dispatches were read
in the House of Representatives. The
first is from Gov. Alcorn in reply to what
he alleges to be misrepresentation in
regard to the affairs of this State and
the two others are from Radical members
of the Legislature, and are designed as .
contradiction of the statement of the
Governor. The reports do not accord,
and yet they all purport to have been
taken from the official reports in the Au-
ditors Office. The dispatches signed
by members of the Legislature" who
have taken care not to assume the re-
sponsibility of attaching their names to
their publication, are designed to furnish
capital for Radical electioneering purpo-
ses at the cost of the good name and the
peace of the State. If they have any
other meaning, it is that reconstruction
and the establishment of civil rule under
Radical control, is a dead failure-a
shame and scandal.
WHAT GOV. ALCoRN SAYS.
JACKSON, Miss, April 2, 1871.
Hon. A. Ames, United States Senate. and
Hon. G. L. Harris, J. l.. Morphis, II. w.
Barry, G. C. Mckee, and l.. w. Perce,
Members of the House:
GENTLEMEN LEST the Government
should be led astray by the reckless state
ments published in Northern newspapers,
on the information of irres pOnsible parties,
and by other misrepresentation, feel it
my duty, as Governor of this State, to bring
under your knowledge the following facts.
nished by the Auditor of Public Accounts,
of the inquest claims presented and allowed
in Mississippi for the last two years.
For twelve months of military govern
ment, ending March, 1870, they number
sixty-two. For twelve months of civil
government, ending March Is, 1871, they
number precisely the same as the whole
year, then including the transition in the
popular mind from force to law. The civil
power has been fully as successful as the
bayonet in protecting life. In the last six
months of each of the two years under
comparison, the number of murders thus
shown was as follows: Under military
government, forty lone, whereas the num-
Der under civil government was but nine
teen. While we thus see the military rule
go on in an increase of crime which points
to the presumption that it would lead to
anarchy, we see the civil rule 90 on in a
decrease OF crime which points to the pre-
sumption that it will lead to absolute repose
/ speak for only my own State.
j. L. ALCoRN,
Governor of Mississippi.
WHAT THE RADICAL LEGISLATOR SAYS.
JACKSON, April 3, 1871.
Hon. A. AMEs, SENATE:
The Auditors books show fifty -four killed
from March /, 1869, TO March l, 1870. and
eighty-three killed from March I, 1870, to
February IL, 1871. Report of inquest on
many known to have been killed since JAN
uary l, 1871, not yet received by the Audi
Tor. National troops were sent to Meridian
after the riot was over.

Copies of the following letter addressed
by bogus Senator Ames to negro men,
Der of the Legislature, have been freely
circulated, and one of them has found its
way to this Office. 1t will be seen that
he takes emphatic tissue with the Gov
ernor whom he charges with departing
from the footsteps Of his illustrious pre-
decessor (Ames) and with the atrocious
crime, or ''great sim" as he terms it, of
having ''his friends killed by the tens

author of dscontent that may have ex-
hibited itself among them, save in conse-
quence of his approval and enforcement
of bad laws and the appointment of in
capable and dishonest men to office in
defiance of the right of the people to make
their own selections. The statistics of
crime in this State show that for the
twelve months of Military. Government
ending March, 1870, the pumber of
deaths by violence was sixty-two; and
for the twelve months succeeding under
civil government the number was exactly
of one to u county. In the last six months
of each of the two years, by comparison,
the returns are as follows: Under Mill

THINNING FRUIT.

The test of good gardener is to be
found in how he thins his fruit. Your
shoddy fellow takes all nature will give
him; he buys the largest trees he can find
because they will bear fright away" and
he expects not merely specimen or so of
a kind, but pecks if not bushels from new
" planted trees. But as he comes among
the refined and educated in the pursuit, he
gradually learns that nature loves best the
patient waiter. He learns that good, lus
cious truit--fruit truly 5enjoyable-only
comes from healthy vigor, and that this
never follows tree which bears too much.
Even good gardeners often say that if u
tree is healthy, it may be permitted to bear
all it will but that kind of tree is very
rarely seen. Certainly halft treeswhich
bear fruit every year would be benefited
by having half the fruit taken off as soon
as it is well set; that is, after they COM
mence to swell little. The grape vine
especially suffers from overwhelming two
or three punches usually come out from
each fruit-bearing branch. We should al
ways cut away the one farthest removed
from the main stem; and in many cases
leave only one--the nearest one--to ma
ture. When this is decided on, cut away
these superfluous punches at once. Fin,
rich color is esteemed as one of the critic
rions whereby to judge of the excellence
of fruit. Sunlight is of first Importance
but it is not generally known that this is
injurious when in excess. In dry at
mosphere, where the evaporative process
goes on faster than the secretiye principle,
what should become a rich, rosy blush in
fruit, is changed to sickly yellow and
the rich jet black of a grape becomes a
foxy red. Some grape-groweTs of emin-
ence, in view of these facts, shade their
wineries during the coloring process; but
others, instead, keep the atmosphere as
close and moist as possible Gardeners

Look at those features and see the agony depict
ed in the face. 1t cannot be helped while the
trouble remains. The sufferings from piles is of a
very aggravated description. You cannot walk with
any comfort; you cannot ride in peace; you can
not sit with ease, and the suffering when attending
to nature is almost unbearable, and causes such IA
feeling of dread that it is put OFF at great sacrifice

the difficulty to an alarming extent. Use Dr. Briggs

little slow and prices barely sustained; within
the past few days. however, with an improved
demand and disminished receipts, the market
has ruled firmer and prices are up I0@I5 cts a
cwt. today with but comparatively few in the
pens unsold. We noted in our last report that
some we'll informed operators were impressed
with the feeling that the bottom had been
reached and the course of the market since
would indicate that they ore not far out of the
way. They contend that the rush for this sea-
son is over, that the arrivaismthts out will orr
not be SO large, and that, in consequence, prices
will go no lower, that when there Is change IL
will be the other way. 1t is also contended
that hogs Tor some weeks past have been lower
here, relatively. than in Cincinnati and Chica-
ment in prices here, will aturally cause a.
mfnishe arrivals, as shippers who have been
running their stock to this market, will ship
