shoup and his Senatorial Expert

The absurd and preposterous claim OF
J. C. Shoup TO the seat in the State
Senate, which he had formally vacated
in order to accept the Office of District
Attorney, and which was subsequently
filed by Col Lyles, who now occupies 1t
will come up for decision in that body
on Wednesday. We understand that
Shoup bases his extraordinary pretension
on the ground that he did not resign the
Office of Senator, notwithstanding he did
accept the appointment of District Attor-
ney and performed, or pretended to per-
form, Its duties for several months, and
witnessed without dissent the election of
his Senatorial successor by virtue of an
Executive proclamation announcing va
cancy.
This non-resignation pretext of Shoup
is conclusively settled, however, by the
following official papers:
Executive OFFICE, Feby. 6, 1871.
SENATOR LYLES:
SIR In answer to your note of this date.
| send you copy. as below given. of the
resignation of c. Shoup as Senator for
| the 9th District. This resignation was
placed in my hands by Mr.. Shoup HIMSELF
and | now have il on file IN my office.
Very Respectfully,
j. l.. ALC0RN,
Governor.
JACKSON, July z, 1870.
To his Excellency j. l.. Alcorn, Governor:
have the honor to tender to your Excel
| Iency my resignation as Senator OF the State
OF Mississippi for the 9th District, compos-
| ed of the counties of Lafayette and POnto-
toe, the same to take effect at the date of
my commission TO the office of prosecuting
| Attorney for the 18th Judicial District.
| Your Obedient Servant
| j. G. SHoUP.
Really the claim of Shoup is so I'M
reasonably preposterous that we cannot
discuss it seriously nevertheless, it is
characteristic of carpet-bag effrontery.

The ssCOIOred Cad~G''-The Lesson
Of his Persecution.


The U. S. Military Academy is the
nursery of loyalty. 1t is well understood
that no one can enter its halls who is not
only truly loyal himself, but has imbibed
it from his mothers breast Strange,
then, it is, but nevertheless true, that
the admission of a single "colored cadet
has kept the institution in a perfect tenn
pest of passion. He himself has been
kicked and cuffed and gibed and jeered
by the students, and has been twice put on
trial for trifing causes by the authorities
in their eagerness to be rid of him.
Congress has been solicited by resolution
of one of its leading members to inquire
into his grievances, and the sensational
newspapers have been filled with the
story of his wrongs. The following is a
specimen:
To the Editor of The Tribune:
SIR: Ii is difficult for one who is inside
the West Point Academy to give to the
public outside a clear idea of the state of
feeling which has existed about the "Colored
indicate it. A man has to my knowledge been
practically ostracised for merely speaking
to Cadet Smith; others openly hoasting
that they cut the man for speaking to
the id niger" | know that one Cadet
can swear that he has seen Cadet Anderson
leave his 'set of fouIs," and run up into
the next set and try TO trip Cadet Smith.
think that another Cadet can swear that he
has seen Cadet Anderson, not at guard
mounting. but at other times-Such as when
marching to meals, ete--kiek Cadet Smith.
and step upon his toes. These facts have
come to my knowledge since the trial.
The story has its moral. 1t shows the
absurdity of undertaking as the Radical
fanatics are doing to repudiate the mex
orable DEGREES of God Almighty, who for
His own wise purposes have established
distinctions of race. The worst enemy
of the negro is the fanatic, or the dema-
gogue who refuses ''to look into his face
to determine the color of his skin," or
seeks TO put these distinctions aside
and to establish relations against which
nature herself revolts unless corrupted
by beastly lust, or blunted by low ambi-
ton

The condition of affairs in South Caro-
lima, according to the following dispatch is
not very cheerful:
WASHINGTON, March 7.-GovernOr Scott
has called upon the President for United
States troops to suppress Outrages IN the
counties of Union and York, South Caro-
lima, where he reports that men are muir
dered or driven from their homes nightly
because Of their political opinions. Gov
ernor Scott informs the President that
there is no sufficiently armed and equipped
militia to give the needed protection, and
that if he did have at his disposal cOnpe-
tent military force there are no funds in
the State treasury to transport and subslst
them. He says that nothing but perma-
nent garrisOns in the disafected sections
will give protection to the men who are
threatened with murder or exile, solely be-
cause of their fidelity to the principles of
free government.
As an evidence of the condition of affairs
in South Carolina facts are stated that on
Last Monday company of United States
troops that left Columbia for York had tue
railroad torn up in their front by body of
armed men, and were obliged to march by
road On Friday last the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature now sitting. paid
men to picket the roads leading from the
capital, because of we'll grounded fears Of
.Ku-kiux upon their body. "A committee of
three members of the Legislature of South
Carolina will arrive here in a day or two to
lay the condition of affairs in South Caro-
lima before the President. Warren Wilks
leading Conservative member of the
South Carolina Legislature, is one of the
committee.
