"a New EnIaaisY."

The Pilot of Wednesday last informs
its readers, in half column leader. of
"a Democratic swindIe" which has been
Perpetrated by the Kentucky Legislature
upon the voters of Lexington, IN that
State, by depriving them of the right to
elect the common council this year, but
requiring one only Of the council TO be
elected every year, after the year 1873.
This may be very wrong We care not
to discuss the point, and rather than do
so we will admit that it is "a most iniqui-
"tous plan" The Pilot so proDounces
it. 1t occurs to US, however, that it Is
no ''new7 plan, though the Pilot thinks
so, to deprive cities and towns Of thu
right to elect their Boards Of Council
men or Aldermen. We recall the fact
that the people.of every city, town and
village in Mississippi were deprived Of this
right from 1867 to 1872, with the excep-
ton of the voters of Natchez, who were
graciously permitted by special act of the
Legislature to hold an election in Janu-
airy, 1871; nor were the persons whom
they had elected permitted to remain in
oE. 2, but were unceremoniously kicked
on to give place to appointees. More
than this, during all these years, until
January, 1872 every municipal, beat,
county, and many of the State officers,
were appointed, and this too when we
were said to have had Republican form
of government, during the years of 1870
and II. " as not this "a new and most
ubiquitous plan" for Republic?
And, now, when quarter of the year
1872 has passed, there are still in this
State municipal corporations that have
not been permitted since 1867 to elect
their officers One Of these corporations,
a beautiful little city, is referred to in
the following communication, which we
take from the same issue of the Pilot
that contains the account of the Ken
lucky ''iniquity" A communication
from an appointed Clerk of an appointed
Board of Aldermen, to a Legislature
some of the members Of which have been
by the majority which controls
its action i not the "official journal of
Mississippi looking for the mote in its
brothers eye?
PoRT GIBSON. Miss, March 81, 1872
Ia the President and The Senate:
GENILEMEN--I am requested by the Board
of Aldermen 60 beg OF you To pass an act
amending the charter OF this town 50 that
they may hold an election tor town officers.

GrOans of an Organ.

A late Pilot intimates that if the full
measure Of reduction in the printing
rates advocated by the Democrats in the
House, succeeds, it will be the death of
that concern. So much the better. A
newspaper that can't subsist independent
Of the public treasury, don't deserve to
be supported by it. Events have shown
that these Radical organs can no more
live without public patronage than fish
can be kept alive out of water. The late
Leader, Notwithstanding it was fed on
treasury pap to the tune of something
like $50, 900 in Il few months, when de-
prived of it, went out like a snuffed
candle

Jefferson Davis and the Line of
IEe :B3 Parallel 10 the Pacific.

The Radicals are an exacting elan of
proscriptionists. They never cease ca
Illuminating Hon. Jefferson Davis; and
when he ventures to deny their SANDERS,
they assail him for not keeping silent
For instance, here is the Pilot upbraiding
him Tor conradicting a fabrication of
Congressman Kelly, of Pennsylvania,
that when Secretary of War he changed
''Gov. Stevens report Of the experiment
''tal surveys of the several Pacific routes,
$50 as to make the route from Duluth
''to Puget Sound, much the more ex-
''pensive." Mr.. Davis, of course, denies
the SANDER and takes occasion TO say
that Gen. Humphrey under his admins
tration of the War Department showed
that the Southern route of the SD paral-
lei was the shortest and cheapest, AND,
as shown by recent events, the most
practicable, as a route TO be kept open
for all the year round This is all his
tory and yet because it establishes the
far-reaching sagacity Of Mr.. Davis, the
of the truly loyal are shocked
by the mention Of it

In reply to various reports which have

the following statement of his position

to which he is committed as a Presi-
