Minister, increased its debt when he
held OF on paper 1000, 900

lated by some reports of a change to

ALCORN FOR HIS STATE.
Governor AlcOrn, of Mississippi,
telpsBphs Senator Ames and Repub-
ucans MOrphis, Harris and Pierce,
that the late Outrages in Meridian are
being legally Investigated. Some dis
turbsuces have since taken place
along the Alabama border, but there
is difficulty in discovering the guilty
parties, as they were disguised.
The power of the state Government Is
ample TO preserve peace. With the
above exceptions, order reigns
throughout the State Of Mississippi,
IMPORTANT DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
After some unimpOrtaut business
Ehe Senate took up Sherman's resOlu-
zion alleging the 5uDversiOn Of all
civil authority in the South by armed
men, disguised and laWle5s, mainly
soldiers from the late rebel armies;
that persons and property were uu-
safe, rights oi citizens denied, and
the courts pOWerless by organized
perjury. 90 punish crimes, and instruct
lug the Judiciary COmmitLee to report
remedy by legislation. Sherman
said every word contained in the rasO-
luton was strictly true, and that In
eleven Southern States the public con-
a ton was one Of unparalleled horror
and anarchy. Lewis said his State
was peacelui and orderly as any State
in the Onion. He denied any Ku klux
Organiza lions existing there. John
sons associate, Lewis, ,cOntradicted the
assertion that his colleague, Davis,
said there were disorders in Ken
tucky that ought TO be put down by
Ehe proper authority.
