General Y. NJ. B. Young, who was in
Congress two years ago, has been re-elected
from Georgia, and also took his seat few
days ago. He owes his place chiefly TO that
eccentric character Thad. Stevens. His dis
abilities had not been removed when at
Washington in 1863 to present his creden-
tials of election
He called on ssOld Thad,, and told him he
wanted his assistance in getting his dis
qualifications removed. The following col
lOquy ensued:
General Houng-Mr. Stevens, / am A
Representative elect from Georgia, but
was a general in the army and they won't
let me take my seat.
Old Thad-The hill they won't. A Rep
resentative, with the credentials of your
State and general in the army, and they
refuse you your seat?

General in the Confederate army,

Comments Of Northern Democrat
ic Papers Om Gov. AIcOrn's
Message.

From the Philadelphia Age.
No one will deny the fact that Missis-
sippi has been pretty thoroughly recon-
structed, according to the most approved
Radical plan. Military power reigned
supreme in that locality for years. Bull
lets, not ballots, controlled the elections.
White men were subordinated TO negroes
and the whole industrial system broken
up and rendered comparatively inopera-
tive. A negro was also chosen to the
Senate of the United States, and thus
the Radical plan carried out in all its
details This being the political status Of
Mississippi, the message Of Governor Al
corn, Radical and Senator elect, may
be taken as good evidence of the effects
of reconstruction in that State.
Here follows the statistics contained in
the message.
These facts are not culled from politi-
cal papers, and colored by partisan views.
They are reported to the Legislature, in
an official form by the Governor of the
State, who is a prominent and trusted
member of the dominant party. 1t is,
therefore, to be hoped they will receive
that notice and attention in the North,
which their importance demands. Ger
tainly system which produces such re-
suits is not the best suited for State or
people When both the moral and ma
terial interests of Commonwealth are
undermined, it is time for the people to
demand a change. Governor Acorn sho1cs
that such hare been the results Of the Recon-
struction policy an Mississippi. and thus
produces an transferable argument az ia
cor Of the dO,on all of tie RadicGlpGrty.

Forty thousand men were sacrificed by
France in her attempt to take and occuny
Hayti. This is the minor portion of the
Island of San Domingo. General Grant
now proposes to annex she larger portion
of the same Island, and, the question is
how many men will we have to sacrifice in
keeping the turbulent and ignorant people
there In subsection. -P Philadelphia Age.

The Governor and the eastern
From

Stafford and Ireland want their pay for
organizing the militia, and Gov. Alcorn
has made the matter the subject of special
message to the Legislature. When the Gov
ernor sent his militia officials out he appre-
hended 'organized defiance of the law in
the Eastern counties of the State The
Governor sees no way of paying Stafford
and Ireland except by special enactmbnt
and he therefore, asks for legislation to al
low the Auditor of Public Accounts to is
sue warrants on such acquisitions of Pay
master-General as shall have received the
Governors certificate. We would like to
know from whence came the information
that trouble was apprehended ION the east
ern border Of the State" The respectable
white citizens of the eastern border knew
nothing of the ~apprehened trouble. until
the news came from Jackson with threats
Of miIitia.-Meridian Gazette.

From the Prairie New

;, Ihereis yet just cause to fear for the flu
ae the bill, forcing the negro into the
ssOiels, railroad cars churches, concert halls
sil all other public places, should become
law. We are not advised as to who the
ehor of the bill is. but we would remind
M, I'm that no amount of legislative enact
ssIlts can control the laws OF nature. The
M attempt to engraft social equality into
tbe e Jaws of the State will only tend to sink
Dos negro, and the supporters of the bill are
on On. ignorant of the fact. There Is no power
emu e@ltn that can make the eagle and the
stSsw associate. and the Legislature cannot
hree men to do that which birds and
waists refuse to PERFORM
