BOW NIssIssIPPf IS yICTIMIzEn

how MISSISSIPPI Is yICTLMIZED.
According to the New York World,
it costs twenty-seyen per cent. Of the
whole receipts TO have the internal rev.
enue collected in Arkansas, by General
Grants friends, theearpetbaggers, while
in Illinois it only costs two per cent. In
Texas the cost is over twenty-tour per
cent, and in Massachusetts less than
three. In Mississippi it costs twenty
three per cent, and in New York less
than three. These ca~rpetbaggers are
very expensive, not only to the South
ern people, but to the United States. It
costs more to collect two hundred and
thirty-eight thousand dollars in Missis-
sippi than it did to collect six hundred
and twenty-seven thousand dollars in
West Virginia. OF course, these reve-
nue. collectors think they have the
best civil service system in the
world, and are all for Grant,
in order that it may be continued.
1T is stated, upon what authority VS.
are not advised, that Senator Aleorn
agreed TO stand aloOf in this Presidential
contest II Grant would agree, in the
event Of his election, to eject from office
the knaves now filling the Federal places
in Mississippi. Aleorn's wisdom con-
sists in this, that if Grant be reelected
Mississippi will be redeemed as per con-
tract-AIcorn, instead of Ames, there
after designating Federal placemen. If
Greeley be elected the knaves will be
certainly kicked out. titus h~appensthat
Mississippi is most fortunately situated.
1t signifies nothing to the unhappy
people of that State whether Greeley or
Grant win; they have a sure promise OF
thorough reform. Hereafter, in Missis-
sippi, the great struggle is between Al
corn and Ames, between a native Re
publican and a military adventurer and
carpetbagger. Strange as people may
think it, Ben Butler aspires to the Pres
idency, and his only fOothOld in the
South is that State of which Ames retains
the mastery. In reality, therefore, the
struggle in Mississippi, within the con-
fines Of the Radical party, is between
Alcorn and Ben Butler. Ames is the
emptiest possible little figurehead of the
Massachusetts, monster.

to do all 1 honorably can to promote
their election; but l do not propose to
turn the contemplated speech into an
electioneering discourse. Should it in
any way prove beneficial to the cause,

1T Is by no mean gratifying to the
GRANTEES, that despite their eIerions
and expenditures, the North Carolina
election shows a Conservative gain OF
twelve thousand votes as compared with
the last Presidential election. and Of
nine thousand Over that of one year ago.
A United States Senator is also gained.
Moreover, it is conclusively shown that
outrageous frauds were prscticed by the
election managers, and It is not doubted
that if the returns had been fairly count
ed a Democratic Governor would have
been inaugurated.

IT is commonly believed that not q
few c%uriOusly constructed people vainly
imagine that the Cincinnati movement
would be fatal rather to the Democratic
party than TO Grant. Because Democ-
rscy don't die it is very probable hat
a few OF these mAlcontents win become
sdherents Of Grant. In fact we have
yet to hear of "a convert to Grants party
that did not find Office and the nominal
ton Of Greeley the pretext for this &C
cessiOn to Radicalism.

A THOUGHTFUL, good citizen who
writes most sensibly, asks that the
whole School Board and all it's sdiuncts
resign. The schools will be abandoned
unless there be reform, and taxpayers
are weary Of burdens imposed simply to
feed idlers, as teachers must be without
pupils. The suggestion OF our CORE
spOndent, therefore, demands at least
grave consideration.
