the name of E. Barksdale is introduced
with offensive personalities, and in
which, assuming that we had regarded
him as i" a coward, he invited us to put
the matter TO test, probably will be
surprised to learn that he has declined
an invitation to 90 outside the State in
order to hold a further correspondence
on the subject, where it could be done
without violating the law or disturbing
the peace Of the community. For his
refusal he has various reasons chief
among them, that he is an officer Of the
peace. The natural inference would be
that if holding Office restraints him from
afording satisfaction for personal in
iuries, it ought to have restrained him
from offering them. No less ought his
pretended regard for the obligations OF
his office have restrained him from the mis-
demeanors for which he has been con
demned by the popular branch Of the
Legislature. 1t may be needless to say
that a man who is pitiful enough to take

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

/ Our taxes are increasing steadily every
| year, and in proportion the Indebtedness
or at any rate tile expenditures of the State
are also increasing. In 1871 we paid a.
State tax four mills on each dollars worth
of property; in 1872, with a consider cradle
increase of property, we were required to
pay eight and one half mills on the dollar
And although the tax was more than
double the preceding year. the disburse-
mentS exceeded the receipts $347 552 &c.
very nearly as much money as it cost to run
the entire State government under the old
Observation-Disclosures Messenger.
In the coming election for Governor. and
for leading State officers, there are three
points we shall insist on before giving our
adhesion to any candidate:
LIST. pledge to exert all his influence,
moral and POLITICAL for reduction of the
taxes, and retrenchment in all the depart
ments of government.

mise, or any arrangement or legislation

The Pascagonla Star has an earnest
article addressed to the Legislature. on
tile adyantages of Pascagouia as sea
port. 1t quotes from a communication
Of Gen. Braxton Bragg, that : Missis-
sippisllas no harb0T bat Pascagouia, and
that but small means only ere needed
''to make Pascagoula second only to
Pensacola as a Gulf port. The star
quotes from the report Of the state En-
pineer to the Governor that the necessary
depth TO utilize this magnificent port can
be attained BIZ the trifing expenditure Of
$40, 0O0 to so, 900. 1t says is lumber
trade Of the past year amounted to a NIL
lion dollars, and that not less than that
amount of capital is invested in mills.
Doubtless the parties Immediately con
cerned in this great interest will remem-
the advice Of Hercules 10 the WAGNER,
to put bis own shoulder to the wheel to
extricate 1t from the obstacles which inn
peded It's locomotion; and doubtless, as
enterprising men, they are willing 10 IL

President Grant not long ago issued a
loud proclamation against the system
which has grown into practice under the
Carpet-bag regime in the South, that of
combining a multitude of officers, Fed
eral and State, in Que person; and he
notified all officials coming within the
range of this proclamation who might
choose to retain their State offices to con-
slider themselves elected from their Fed
sral places. Here was dilemma but
hhe ingenuity of the spoilsmen whom it
concerned, and the tender consideration
of the Administration for its Amounted,
were equal to the occasion. Several Of
them were members of the Mississippi
Legislature-Price, Post Master at Gre
NADIA, and Gill, Post Master at Holly
Springs The difficulty was overcome
by their resigning the latter offices, in
favor of their wives, who have been APP
pointed to succeed them. So that through
the agency of their ,better-halves and the
connivance of the Administration, they
still enjoy the p wcrs and emoluments of
both places.

The NATCHEZ, JACKSON AND CoLUM-
BUS RAILROAD COMPANY.-Th pro-
gress of this Company and the healthy
state of its finances are topics of general
comment and of cOngratulation among
the friends of the important enterprise
which the Company has undertaken to
accomplish. The work is an object of
special interest to the people of Kinds,
lnasmuch as it penetrates the county
through its whole length, and our Capt.
tai is one of the objective points of the
road. From seven to ten miles of the
work has been put in running order, and
is being pushed forward rapidly, and ma
terials are constantly arriving for the
Use of the Company. Gen Martin, Its
able President, deserves much credit for
the success with which his efforts have
been attended.

sub-let the institution, or take in Il new
