The list might be extended throughout
the entire range of salaried officers
with like startling exhibit of the pre-
vailing extravaganza under the carpet
bag regime. The statistics above quoted,
however, are sufficient for our purpose in
presenting them. They are offered as
guide for the Legislature in reforming
the abuses of the present management.
Salaries ought all to be reduced without
delay. The technical constitutional OBJ
jections which placemen are urging are
mere cobweb restrictions that ought not
to be permitted to stand moment in the
way of the Reforms which the people
are demanding at the hands of their
servants.

SsThe state of the State Govern
ment il Peace"

So said Gov. Powers in his regular
message as testimony of the law-abiding
and peaceable spirit of our people, not
withstanding very many of the most
orderly and well-disposed are being hun
ted and bounded by federal officials and
dragged from their homes for trial upon
er parte testimony before packed juries
on a charge of violating the vindictive
measures devised for their punishment
by a partisan Administration.
In further proof of the pacific conduct
of our citizens, we submit the following
extract from the report of Quartermaster
General Mead, dated January 1872:
The quota of Arms and Ordinance stores
due the State under the General ApprOpri-
alton Act for the years lS7I-2 have not been
called for the unusually quiet and orderly con-
dition of the State, in the Judgment Of the
Executive, having dictated the necessity ofpro-
curing the same.

Hon. VIZ. higgins Makes an Ex-
PLANTATION.

Hon. Mr.. Huggins, member from
Monroe county, delivered some remarks
in the House of Representatives, on
Wednesday, which were elected by par
agraph in THE CLARION, that in conse-
quence of his honorable and impartial
course rs Chairman of the Committee on
Elections, a caucus Of the Republicans
had formally read him out of their party
and had served notice on him to that
effect.
Mr.. Higgins remarks are represented
to have been exceedingly well-timed and
sensible He stated that he had at all
times been guided in his Office by a sense
of duty from which, under no circum-
stances, could he be induced to swerve.
In the course of his remarks he al
luded to the profligate administration of
the affairs of the Southern States under
the present rule, and spoke of their hav-
ing been brought to a condition Of bank
ruptcy, and thereby causing dissatisfac-
ton among the people thereof At the
conclusion of his speech Radical MEM
Der moved that two thousand copies be
printed for the use of a Democratic eau
Gus; and Democrat moved that the Dem
ocratic members extend to him the right
hand of fellowship. Mr.. Higgins bore
himself throughout, with moderation and
propriety.

Matters and Things.

EDITORS OF THE CLARION: Your recent
structures upon Mississipprs Governor,
though perhaps just, are rather impolitic,
from the fact that they are calculated to
bring his "Incidency" into notice, when he
would never have been heard of.
If you will just hands off and give him
plenty of rope, figuratively, he will soon SUBJ
side into insignificance. If you persist, you
will so puff up this dictator" that he will
soon become in his own estimation, another
Alexander, painting after new worlds to
conquer
Perhaps it has not forcibly occurred to
you, that Governors, nowadays, are small
potatoes, and won't improve by cultivation.
SO you had better ''run your coulter in an
other furrow." Then, too. there is very lit
tie dignity attached to the Office of Govern
or, as is illustrated by our own.
You hit the Governor some hard blows on
his Revised Code veto message, In which he
gently touches up the legal profession. But
remember, in charity, that he is no lawyer,
and his ''Incidency" is jealous of that pro-
fressiOn.
He wouldn't be lawyer, no, he wouldn't II
he could;
It's useless to endeavor, for he couldn't il
he would.
He'd rather be a Governor, without honor
and without fame,
So he can revel i'm the Mansion, though its
portals blush for shame,
And his filings at the profession. fall
harmless at the feet of even the most OBJ
scure cross-road pettifogger.
Don't, dear sirs, be so cruel as to accuse
Attorney General Morris of writing that
practical joke. and the Governor couldn't
see the point" But Morris "a fellow OF
infinite jest"
Don't say that Musgrove did It for he is
too stupid in modern literature. His fort Is
as financier. not however pro bono pub
ltco' as is fully illustrated by his contracts
with Magistrates for a division with him,
of Acknowledgements of State Deed fees.
Don't accuse Lynch of writing that mes
sage, for he has too much good sense, and
too much dignity to poke fun at other PEG
pies expense. So that message "cOmes
home to roost'' in the empty head
of the Governor.
Are not our people Messrs. Editors tired
of hOb-nobbling these carpet-bag officials,
in hopes as many of them say of making
towards the Southern people? Let them
abandon such delusions-let them be calm.
quiet and self possessed, and the day is not
tar distant when the whole tribe with a
few honorable exceptions) will repack their
soiled garments, and take their departure
with their i'll gotten gains.
Our colored population are fast becoming
acquainted with the designs of these TEL
lows, and will soon join us at the ballot box
in asserting our ability Of self government
without the aid OF aliens, except rs "hewerI
of wood and drawers OF water"

Grounds of the HmPeachment of
the Can Pet-Bag Governor of
Florida.

1t has been stated that Reed, of Flori-
da, another of the Carpet-Bag adventu-
rers who have been foisted into the
Executive Chairs of the Southern States
has been impeached. The causes are
thus set forth by a Committee of the
Legislature
"Your committee charge him (Reed) with
a violation of law, in the immense over
issue of bonds upon a railroad not construc-
ted.
"His violation of the law in issuing one
million of bonds for the purchase of Flor
ida, Atlantic and Gulf Central Railroad.
"His violation of law i'm cOnspiring in
fraud in the issue of bonds to the Jackson
Vile, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad Com
pany, with full notice Of the fraudulent
title of the road and of the lien existing
upon it.
~His violation of law in obtaining the
sum of $500 by corrupt influence, and at
mpting to obtain $223,0O0 of the proceeds
of the sale OF the bonds.
His violation of the law in attempting
to influence judicial officer of the State in
exercise of his judicial functions in con-
| nection with these railroads.
"His violation of law in receiving the
| sum of $4,000 to control his official conduct
in the matter of a contract for Internal
Improvement Lands.
A correspondent of the World says
of the proceedings against Reed:
There is but little doubt of conviction.
OF course the acts complained of can be
clearly proved and are sufficient to send
Reed TO the State Penitentiary, much less
oust him from the Governorship; but the
facts have little influence on question like
this, while money and politics have much

The IaudertIaIe Contested EIec-
ton Cases.

On yesterday the House of Represen-
tatives-so-called-by partisan vote
unseated Messrs. Smith and Kelly,
Democrats, the rightful representatives
of Lauderdale county and seated Grace
and McInnis, Radical contestants. Thus
we have another evidence of the willful
disregard of the Radical party for the
rights of the people to choose their own
representatives when party end is to be
gained, or Il partisan rewarded. After
the result of the Marshall county contes-
ted cases,SYe could expect nothing more,
particularly in the Lauderdale county
cases when it is known there rests
in the minds of the Radical
leaders malicious desire to
avenge the defeat of the Radical
party in that county in the last election.
To do this, they have disregarded the
testimony in the case; disregarded every
sense of honor, and even disregarded
their oaths of office and deprived the
chosen representatives of the people of
that county of their seats, and seated
men who were even not the choice of
their party, but we're forced upon it by
the Alcorn faction last year with the hope
of making converts from the Conserva-
tive party. They may prevent the De
mocracy Of Lauderdale from being heard
upon the floor of the present House, but
they cannot deprive it of its control in
that county, and this infamous proceed
ing will but renew the exertions of the
Democracy and Conservatives in the
next canvass TO retain control of Lau-
derdale.
