From time TO time we have published
reports Of large numbers of Alabamian
emigrants going to Texas, composed
mainly Of the working classes. The fol-
lowing paragraph from the Eufaula
Times will explain how it has been
brought about
EMIGRATION AGENTs.-We learn that
agents are travelling through the aiacent
counties OF this State, in the interest OF
Texas getting up parties of emigrantS, to
whom they offer low rates of passage, and
special advantages of location in that State.
THIS accounts for the large nomber OF tam
lies who are oaily setting out for the
Lone Star State
We have often advised similar enter
prises in behalf Of Mississippi. We have
no doubt. that large aceessions to our pop
ulation could be obtained from North
and South Carolina if proper efforts
were made and liberal inducements held
out by persons who own large bodies of
land for the cultivation of which they
have not procured a sutficiency of labor
and on which they are paying excessive
taxes. VIII not enterprising citizens
move in the matter?

The Reform Bills.

The loss to the State by the failure of
the acting Governor 10 sign the bills re-
ducing salaries and curtailing expendi-
lures, is estimated to be 1921, 000.-
These bills, nevertheless, will become
laws after the meeting Of the Legislature
in January, if the acting Governor will
remain passive, under the clause Of the
Constitution which declares that ''if any
''bil shall not be returned by the Gov
e'ernor within five days after it has been
presented to him, it shall be law in
like manner as if he had signed it, I'M
less the Legislature by adjournmentp pre-
vented its return, in which case it shall
be a law unless sent back witbia three days

The jackson Clarion says that Mr.. Perez,
member OF Cong ress from the fifth district,
attempted 10 prevent the passage of the
bin To remove Col. Lamar'S disabilities
Mr.. Perez was not opposed to the removal
of Lamar's disabilities lie is in favor of
political disabilities being wiped out alto
gether, and amended the motion TO remove
Jamars. to include all. He voted against
the bill, hoping thereby To get in his amend
ment To include ali those now resting under
political disability from reason of partici-
pating in the rebellion, as he knew that
Congress was largely in favor of the re-
moval OF Lamar's and he sought to take adj
vantage OF that opportunity to pass gem
eral bill. viii the Clarion make the expla-
ton?
Certainly. We had not seen the facts
but are willing to give Mr.. Perez the
benefit of the Times statement, which is
good enough as far as it goes, but the
truth nevertheless remains that when he
failed to engraft his idea on the bill, he
opposed the main proposition to remove
Col. Lamar's disabilities ? That's what's
the matter

Gov, Walker of Virginia, in his late
message states that ION the 1st of May
last the Board of Education sold the land
scrip donated by act ofCongress to that
State at the price of ninety-6ve cents per
acre" which is considerably above the
price for which the Mississippi scrip was
sold. For the purpose of realizing the
benefit of the trust fund, an independent
Agricultural and Mechanical College has
been organized. In Mississippi a portion
of the fund at least, has been disposed
of in violation of the terms and conditions
prescribed in the grant. How much of
the proceeds of the scrip has been received
by the State and what has been done
with it, will probably be explained in
the annual message of the acting Gov
ernor.

Last Monday week was the time fixed
by Law for Boards of Supervisors TO hold
their special meetings to receive from
the collectors the lists of lands delin-
quent for taxes The law prescribes
that Boards shall issue citations 10 the
owners Of said lands, to appear before
them at a subsequent meeting, not longer
than sixty days nor less than thirty there
after, and either to pay the taxes and all
costs together with ten per cent DANA
ges, or show that said taxes have been
paid. In default of such payment, or
showing, the Board IS required to enter
Judgment for the sale of the lands, or so
much thereof as shall be sufficient to
satisfy taxes, costs and damages allow
ing not less than thirty nor more than
sixty days notice.
The officer who sells the property, is
required to execute a deed which shall
veot in the purchaser, his heirs and as
"signs, as absolute and iiedgeasible title
'1orerer, WITH NO SUBSEQUENT RIGHT OF
REDEMPTION.
We have no means of knowing whether
delinquencies are numerous or not. We
apprehend, in view of the universal bank
ruptcy which existed after the war, and
from which, owing to high prices, ex-
orbitant interest and disorganized labor,
the people have not recovered-that
many have been unable to pay the OPP
pressive taxes assessed on their property
by the treasury cormorants. In
this case, their little remnant will
be sacrificed under the grind
ing operations of the law. We
have said sacrificed, for the reason that
the right of redemption hitherto enjoyed
since the first organization of our State
govaxNment has been taken away from
the unfortunate taxpayers by the aliens
and renegades who have usurped the
State government We shall know more
about the effect of the barbarous law when
the process of citation, advertisement
and sale shall have been gone through
with.
In reference to the poll tax, the law
provides that it shall be 50 instead of 81
if not paid by the 1st Monday of Deem
ber And in order to secure its payment
the law directs the Board of Supervise RS
of each county to appoint Delinquent
Poll Tax Collector whose special business
shall be TO collect the tax; and for his
services he is to receive one-half of the
amount collected. The collection of this
tax Will depend entirely on the efficiency
of the person selected to perform the
service. No doubt, one-fourth Of the
Radical voters in this State, are delin-
quent on their poll tax and having but
little else to be taxed, they have escaped
altogether the burdens which in the
hands of the carpet-baggers, they have
been the instrument of imposing upon
others

During the Rev. G. b. Galloway's brief
residence among US, he has preached quite
number of times to the colOred people al

that Sabbath before last was his final day
among us, they requested that he preach

cheerfuliy accepted. After service, Of their
own accord and prompting, they made up a

lance of the same.

Since Swami, the bell-wether of the
Radical flock, has been, after series of
delays and miscarriages, gathered in the
fold, we may expect other accessions of
the faithful. The New Orleans papers
say that an adventurer calling himself
James McCurrie, hailing from the Buck
Eye State, has been arrested in that city
on a charge Of forging Mississippi War
rants. The forgery consists in altering
warrants which were genuine form small
sums to larger ones.

swami. the Warrant FOrSer
Again Heard From.

1t is stated in New York reports that
man calling himself w. L. Durham has
been arrested by detectives in that city
to await the requisition of the Governor
on a formal charge of altering warrant
on Mississippi 1t subsequently transplred
that he had made a confession duplicating
several government officials in New York
and New Orleans, and one or two other
persons, in an extensive conspiracy to
defraud the State of Mississippi The
statement was that he left New Orleans
about month ago, with warrants issued
by the Auditor, which had been altered
and raised" TO represent $50, 600. The
alterations he alleged were made by DIR.
Swami, the notorious Newton county
Radical leader and forger, who had
changed the original figures, which rep
resented small amounts, and made the
warrants out for fifty dollars and one
thousand dollars Rumor reports that he
was accompanied to New York by loose
oh aracter styling herself Mary Mcbride.
She subsequently returned South with
81 900 in warrants The remainder he
turned over, as he alleges, to two officers
in the government service, who sent
them To Texas to be negotiated. He at
tempted to sell one of the warrants for
$500 to Livy d Borg, brokers, Broad
street, and this led to his arrest and the
discovery of the plot. 1t is telegraphed
that the woman was captured in New
Orleans, with one half of the altered
warrants in her possession. 1t is further
reported that Swami himself, the ringlead
err of the robbers, has been arrested at
New iberia, Louisiana. These parties
will all be brought here for trial, if the
authorities perform their duty in the
matter, and the public will learn more
about their operations anon.
The following is the y. Y. Heralds
account of the arrest of Durham:
On the ID of December last man named
William Ddnham called at the office of Levi
& Burke of 20 Broad street. for the purpose
OF negotiating a warrant for $500 on the
Treasurer of the State of Mississippi, of

The Shieldsboro Republican, (Radical)

they were expensive, cumbrous, and in
