DISPATCH PROM GOV. ALCoRv,
of Mississippi, in which he says ~ am in
formed that dispatches have been forwarded to
Washington derOgatiDg from the power OF this
government to enforce the law. 1 desire to
ltnf mia .ea~s,
that it finds no justitc alton in fact. A riot oc-
CURED recently at Mer. dian, but was promptly
suppressed. The parties are now undergoing
legal Investigation. Some minor outrages
have been committed on other points of the AL
ALBANIA border, in the night, by parties in dis
gulse. My only difficulty in these cases is to
l confidently hope it viii be, this government
is abundantly powerful TO make them fear the
consequences OF their crimes. Save in these
cases, Mississippi presents an uubroken evil
ehce of civil obedience and order"
