Wandering.

Special to Appeal
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, March 28.
There was considerable excitement
around the legislature today, over
the loss Of the civil rights bill. II
has never reached the Governor, and
cannot be found. Warren, the clerk OF
the house, in whose custody the bill
wss, is Ia a fearful lot Of trouble about
it, and has drawn a copy Of the bill
and signed it officially and viii ask
the secretary of the senate, Mr.. Lemly,
to sign it and present il as the orig
inal official copy. Lsmly says ne viii
not sign it.
FEARFUL.
The negroes are effervescent on the
subject. The secretary of State, the
awful Lynch-pin in the wheels of gov
ernment, says il was stolen by some
radical member, who was afraid to
meet the issue fairly.
THE DODGERS.
There are many Conservative MEM
bers absent, who should by all means
be at their posts.
MORE GERRYKANDERING.
But nine days remain for legislation,
and the RAIDS will work like beavers
to carry their pet schemes in that
time. The last two days have been
spent by the Democrats in f1Llibuster-
ing over the appointment bill. No
business was accomplished. Every
minute now thrown away in the leg
islature is that much actual gain to
Taxpayers.

MR.. GREELEY'S MOVEMENTS.

The philosopher was not at his rooms in the Astor
House yesterday nor the day before, and neither
General Palmer nor Captain Grant knew anything
OF his whereabouts. General Cochrane started out
during the day to unearth him, but had not returned
with any news OF success up to u late hour. Mr..
Greeley advertised to preside at the lecture OF
General Macadaras at Cooper Institute last even
ing, but was not present. 1t Is supposed that the
much photographed candidate has sought the deep
recesses OF some unfIequented forest to avoid the
artists. lie las left as cOnsoer in the absence of
his own benignant countenance two counterfeit
presentments-onc OF them, a profile by Shaw, un-
doubtedy the best picture that has yet been taken
Of him. They ornament the mantepece OF room
No. IA, where the Executive Committee meets.
General Palmer, who usually presides in room No.
IA, has been called away to Ripley, Chautauqua
county, his mother having died quite suddenly on
Monday night
The subcommittee OF fourteen on the mass meet
ing at Cooper Institute met in room 81 yesterday,
and received letters from Gratz Brown Senator
Upton, James Gallagher, Of Connecticut, Thomas
M. Waller, OF Connecticut and General fitzpatrick,
announcing their intention to be present and ad-
dress the meeting The choice OF presiding officer
has not yet been decided upon. Four stands Will
be erected outside the building on the Cooper Union
square, and fireworks will lend variety and bril-
liancy to the scene. The committee meet again to-
Qay.

MISCELLANEOUS POLITICAL NOTES.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin thinks the nomination
OF Henry Wilson as Vice President on the republican
ticket will secure beyond peradventure the New
England States for Grant,
Says the Chicago Times (straght-out democrat) :
'Mr. Greeley has utterly failed to unite the opposi
ton to Grant; he has succeeded only in rendering
the disunity more pronounced and irreconcable
As Presidential candidate for the opposition he is
already politically dead. His election is among the
things that are impossible.n
Major william NJ Robbins, OF Rowan, has been
nominated for Congress by the conservatives Of the
North Carolina Seventh district.
General J. M. Leach has been nominated for Con-
gress by the conservatives Of the North Carolina
Fifth district
correspondent sends us the following as q ready
made Cabinet Tor President Greeley :--Sccretary OF
State, Adams, of Massachusetts; Secretary OF the
Treasury, Palmer, OF Illinois; Secretary OF War,
Dix, OF New York; Secretary OF the Navy, Groes-
beck OF Ohio Secretary OF the Interior, Hendricks
OF Indiana; Attorney General, Wilson, OF Iowa;
Postmaster General, Curtin, OF Pennsylvania.
Ex-Governor b. Magoiin, OF Kentucky, has writ
ten letter in favor OF the Cincinnati nominees.
White hats with brown bands are the order Of the
day In Philadelphia.
The Cincinnati Times says John T. Wilson viii
be the republican candidate for Congress
from the new Seventh district, now democratic by
eighteen hundred.
