In order TO set an example of economy,
Gen. Lowry introduced bill in the House
TO reduce the pay of members of the Leg
islature to 81 per day The bill was refer
red to the Judiciary Committee, and in be-
half of the Radical majority of that Com
mittee, w J. Willing, non-representative
of Copiah, made report setting forth that
the bill proposed to perform service for
the people which the constitution actual
Nv prohibits, that its trainers had clinched
the nail by affirming that Legislature
could not reduce the pay of its members.
Gen. Lowry's minority report, it will
have been seen, affirmed the contra
nv, and showed the absurdity of the
Wreckers logic He ordered the ar
gument in a nutshell, by saying that it
was clear that ''no constitutional rule in
''tended to secure a peeuniary right to
''any citizen is violated by taking away
that right by the consent of the party
lin whom it is vested" The c. BIS.
however, did not see it that way, and
they voted TO sustain the majority report,
and against the position of the minority
that they could not reduce their pay, if
they so desired! And thus the case
stands ON the record.

CurtaiIIng Expenses.

The following is the bill introduced
by Mr.. Sessions, of Franklin, to reduce
the expenses incurred on account of the
Judiciary. These expenses, it is well
known, have increased from an average
of one hundred thousand dollars per an
mum under Citizens rule to upwards of
three hundred thousand dollars under
Carpet-Bag misrule; and the honest peo-
pie are loudly demanding a correction of
the abuse. The bill of Mr.. Sessions is
good as far as it goes, but we would re-
spectfully suggest that many of the best
lawyers in the State think that So, 900
would be ample compensation for the
Chancellors; and this reduction of pay
coupled with decrease of the number
of Districts from twenty to twelve, would
effect the reform needed in the expendi-
lures on account of that branch of the
Judiciary department. The reform con-
templated in section 2, could be practi-
cally accomplished at once if the Legis-
lature would also reduce at its present
session the number of Circuit Court Dis
tricts. There is no constitutional obsta-
Gle to measure of that kind:
AN ACT To reduce the Salaries OF Circuit
Judges, ChancellOrs and District At
torneys.
SECTION /. BE it enacted by the Legis-
lature of the State of Mississippi. That here
after the salary of the Chancellors of the
State shall be Twenty-Five Hundred Dol
lars per annum, and the salary of District
Attorneys shall be Fifteen Hundred Dol
lars per annum.
SEC. 2. Be it further enacted, That here
after the Circuit Judges OF this State shall
receive a salary of TWENTY-FIVE Hundred
Dollars per annum, proUided, however, that
the present Circuit Judges shall receive the
salary now fixed by law until the expira-
tion of their respective terms of office.
SEC. 3. Be it further enacted, That this
act take effect and be in force from and
after its passage.

Messrs. Armistead and Streeter, members
of the House about whose course and
position speculation was INDUCED before
the assembling of the Legislature, has
voted generally with the Conservative
members, and has therefore voted right.
We trust their course will be such as to
unite the good people of their county so
that at the next election there will be no
occasion for any division among them
whatever. We shall observe their course
and report the result with the utmost
candor and impartiality-''having no

j. =. MORRIS,
Attorney General

The AAIENDE.-In our article repre-
bending the action of the School Board in
the matter of the importation of Savage TO
put at the head of the white school OF the
city, we incidentally introduced the name
of Miss Morton, the assistant under the
impression that she also had been brought
hither 10 be patronized in like manner 70
the exclusion of other ladies who are to
the manor born and would have accepted
the place. This is the only intimation that
we designed to convey; and it was the
practice OF importing strangers from a
distance to place them in charge Of institu-
tions supported by the charity of our people
which we proposed TO censure and not the
persons. We have since been Informed
by disinterested parties that we were in
error in regard to this lady. That she has
always resided In the South, and for years
past, in an adjoining county. As we will
not willingly do any person injnstice, we
desire that all we have said in connection
with her appointment may be considered
Withdrawn.

The n. o. Picayune says that many OF
the good citizens of Louisiana, propose to
take refuge in the establishments of mill
tary ruleGith Its attendant evils of mar
tial law, which is no law at all except the
viii of military ruler-from the curse
of the Carpet-bag Radical maladminis-
tration which has brought hell OF chaos
and disorder upon the unfortunate people
Of Louisiana. The Picayune, which Is
extremely moderate in its general tone
towards the existing administration, says
the people are driven to this desperate
recourse .'by wanton misrule, by system
''atic peculation, by stupenduOus extrav-
''agance, by multiform acts of oppression
''by trading in offices, by the sale of votes
ss'in the Legislature, by ruinous monopo-
Giles. BY brrdensome taxes, by ancient
''civie franchises trodden on, by the sys-

By FELICIA.

You ask to hear the Tyre again,
That once gave forth so sweet q tone,
But an the giant hand of Time,
Has crushed the harp; the song MAS flown.
Methinks to mend its broken chord.
Is more than mortal art can do,
But yet. I'll try the tremb bling syringe.
And sing another song for you.
When hrst the silv'ry harp was dfeck'd
In all the beauty fancy weaves-
Lies pathway seem'd n bed OF fiow'rs.
With not a thorn among their leaves.
And should one bud be with'ring there.
Some gentle moonlight spirit came.
And wept a tear-drop on each leaf.
That wooed to life the dying flame.
Lies cup with pleasures running DER.
Would sparkle like the beaded wine.
Twas then the joyous heart could sing,
And soul, and music inteTtwine.
But Time las walked among the flowers
And pluck'd the fairest buds away:
To blight the hopes their beauty gave.
And shrowed them all In dull decay.
Though Fancy-s brilliant eye has dimm'd
And all the gems she brought have fed.
The Tyre still trembles forth the song,
Gods brightest blessings on THY head.
