Our dispatches of last night bring US
the latest proclamation from Governor
Powers, of Mississippi, touching the
pending question of a general election
for State officers in Mississippi. This
last expression Of executive authority
suggests what we deem a very proper
solution Of the difficulty. Governor
Powers, in order to have the question
satisfactorily and forever settled, "
convenes by proclamation the legisla-
ture in extra session, at Jack
son, on Monday, the twenti-
eth day of the present
month "for the purpose of amending
the election laws, and transacting such
other business of paramount importance
as may be hereafter specially recon-
mended for consideration, or be de-
manded by public necessity" Now.
the question arises whether this ex-
traordiuary session of the legislature
will result in Tekindling the rather
waning fires Of the present campaign
in Mississippi, by settling the question
of an election this fall? We doubt this
very seriously. Mr.. Morris, the attor-
Dey-general of Mississippi, id his
published opinion denying the
constitutionality Of the act Of the
Legislature which provides for an cleo
ton in November next, suggests the
very steps which Governort Powers has
taken. Mr.. Morris says: "The legisla-
ture can, if necessary, be convened il
extraor dinsry session in November or
December, or even in October, to repeal
the present unconstitutional law; pass
a law for having general election neIt
fall, and thereafter once every two
years" etc. So that even this
extraordinary move Of his excellency
will not bring any comfort to our friends,
Alcorn and Ames, nor disturb the off,
cial repose Of Governor Powers, and
his host OF patriotic companions in Of
fee for twelve months to come. PTve Ia

The death of DR.. Bowman, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, will I'LL
every heart with deep regret. He had
been so assiduous and untiring in his
attendance upon the members Of his
congregation during the prevalence of
the diseases which have robbed US of so
many good and worthy citizens as to
earn the plaudits of those even who had
no social or religious connection with
him. His ministrations were those Of
the devoted servant Of God. He
practised the utmost self-denial,
and knew nothing but the cause
Of Christ, and him crucifed. Early
and late, in seed time and harvest, he
was always at bis post, doing his duty
earnestly, wisely and well. Death found
him at his work. While ministering at
the bedside Of his parishoners be was
caught with the infection Of yellow
fever, and Notwithstanding the efforts
Of a most skilful and attentive physi-
clan, breathed his last yesterday. His
remains will be buried to-day, and viii,
no doubt, be followed 20 the grave by a
numerous band Vi iaUurners whom he
often led in pray er to the throne
OF grace, where be has already
stood to receive the "Well done, good
and faithful servant enter thou into
the joy Of thy Lord"

THE DESOTo bank opened its doors
yesterday and resumed business TO the
extent expressed in the published card
which appeared In the APPEAL few
days since. To say that amid the gloom
which prevails, this was hailed as 3
good sign, one indicative of the strength
and vitality Of the moneyed and com
mercial classes Of Memphis, is but to say
what in many forms of hearty expires
sion fell from the lips of those Of
our best men yet in the stricken
city. We congratulate Mr.. Elder and
Mr.. Farnsworth upon the fact. We
happen to know how uprightly and with
what strict integrity they have always
conducted their business, and We know
them to be worthy the confidence Of this
community and those abroad with
whom, in the course Of years and an ex-
tended business, they have been brought
in contact. They are personally among
our best and purest citizens, and we hope
will hereafter enjoy career of undis
tu-bed prosperity.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE
JACKSON, MISS, october :.
WHEREAS, The constitution of the
State of Mississippi contemplates that
general elections shall occur only in
each alternate year, and
Whereas, Under section twenty-five
of article twelve of said constitution, a
general election for representation in
congress necessarily takes place in No
vember Of every even year of the cal
endar; while under chapter six Of the
revised code Of 1871 a general election
for members of the legislature and
other officers is required to take place
in every additional year Of the calendar,
the consequences Ofwhich constitution
81 and statutory provisions are to force
upon the people a general election ev-
cry year, contrary to the letter and spir-
it of the constitution, the intention OF
its trainers, and to the detriment Of the
public interest; and
Whereas, The election 817l pro-
vidsd for, in the chapter Of the
code herein referred to, is denomi-
mated a general election for all county
and district officers, while an act Of ihe
Legislature, approved April 81, 1873, de-
clares that said election shall be held
and taken, SO far as portion Of said Of
ficers are concerned, as a special, and
not a general election, the ef-
feet of which conflicting laws
is to place in doubt the Legislative
construction of the constitution in re-
gard to the whole elective system estab-
lished fer the State; a
Now, therefore, in order to have
satisfactorily and forever settled the
questions above referred to, in ac-
the fundamental law Of the State, and
cordance with the requirements Ol
in such manner as will best relieve the
people from unnecessary taxation and
too often recurring periods Of politi-
cal excitement, which in no way
eonduce to the public prosperity,
I, Ridgaly c. Powers, governor Of
the State of Mississippi, by virtue
Of the authority vested in me by the
constitution, do issue this my procla-
nation convening the senate and house
of representatives OF the State in extra
session at the capitol, in the city OF
Jackson, at twelve o'clock meridian, on
the twentieth day Of October, a. D.
1873, for the purpose of amending the
election Laws, and transacting such other
business of paramount Importance as
may be hereafter specially recommended
for consideration or be demanded by
public necessity.

THE supreme court Of Tennessee, now
in session at Jackson, will for the pres
eut week, as telegraphed by the clerk,
try those cases wherein the lawyers are
present and ready on both sides, and
will pass the cases of lawyers absent in
Memphis on account Of the sickness, for
the present, and try them during the
term when they can be present. II
seems TO US that this rule is favorable to
those present, and favorable to those
who are unnecessarily absent, and in
every way prudent and wise.

LET US gay once for all that the AP-

utterances Of correspondents whose

we do so editorislly. OF the short note
in regard to Chicago which appeared in
our issue of Saturday we are as hearty
in our condemnation as any one. Chi
cago and her people were among the
first to come to our relief, and did so in
a way and with a spirit that makes Us
feel that they and We are one indeed.

HEAKrFKLT rHANKs TO ALL.

The APPEAL again, In the name and
in behalf Of the citizens OF Memphis,
heartily thanks the kind friends in
every part Of the Union who con-
tinue to pour upon us, In unstint-
ed measure, a seasonsble aid and
comfort. At an early day, when
the intensity of present sorrow and
trouble has sbated, and our citizens
shall be able to realize the extent OF
this generosity, they will, no doubt,
do this formally and in becoming spirit
for themselves. For the present, let 1t
suffice that we all of US feel an over
whelming sense of obligation for
q munifcent and unstinted help,
ruuch of it coming from unlocked
for quarters. Louisville has especially
surpassed itself. All classes in that city
We'd with each other on Sunday in their
contributions for US and for our fellow
sufferers of Shreveport, for whom our
feeling of sympathy is only less than
for our own sick and destitute. Presi-
dent Grant, also, in the spirit OF
a gallant soldier, and with prompt
ness becoming one who presides over
the republic, has come to our assistance
with measure as full and hearty as our
needs and necessities. And 50 from
many hands a bounteous relief
reaches US, making US feel, in
deed, that we are well remembered
even in these times Iof unusual none
tary stIingeney, by.our brethren of the
north, the east, the west, as well as of
the south. Memphis will remember al
ways, and gratefully, the good friends Of
this. her time Of need.
