were introduced and referred.

LEGGED report.
Mr.. SPEAKER:
Your Committee appointed by resolution
OF the House of Representatives to take tes-
tlmony and investigate the contested cleo
ton case, arising in the county of Chicka-
saw. wherein Ambrose Henderson is CON
leave to report that in pursuance OF said res

Houston and Buena Vista; that from the

tain his seat in this House. All of which
testimony Is herewith submitted to this
honorable body, for its consideration.
Your Committee would further report
that in accordance with the provisions of
the resolution under which they were an
pointed, the Auditor of Public Accounts
issued to the chairman warrant on the
treasury for one thousand dollars. to nav
the expenses of said investigation: that said
warrant was sold to VIM A West, banker,
at Oxford. Mississippi, for six hundred dol
lars In currency, tyouf Committee being
unable to use SO large a warranty.
Tour Committee would further report that

opinion of the law officer Of the State was
valued at, that the Subsidy law was con-
stitutional and irrepealable as to the rail-
ways in process Of construction, they can
ascertain from the ''papers" published
elsewhere in this number. Considering
the service rendered in preventing a
repeal of the law and the amount (of
millions supposed to be actually involved
in its continuance, the inference will be
that the price $500 was rather cheap"
The report elsewhere published Of the
conduct of the u. s. military authorities
stationed here, shows that they have as
sumed the right by force of arms to over
ride our municipal regulations. A sol
der disturbs the peace at late hour Of
the night, and and an officer, in the per
Torrance of his duty, endeavors to arrest
him, after demonstrating, and submitting
to vile and abusive language, and is as
this violence, the policeman is driven to
the necessity Of using his firearms in or
der to make the arrest And thereupon
a company Of soldiers is marched into the
corporation limits, with the avowed in
tentIon to seize the policeman; and the
officer in charge INDUCES threats of a
most violent nature.
These officers are lily informed, if they
imagine that soldiers when they visit the
city are not subject to the same regula-
tons which are enforced against other
persons, and are not liable to be dealt
with IN the same manner and they eyre
giously mistake their privileges if they
suppose they have a right to supercede
our municipal ordinances with military
violence. The town is not under martial
law; and we are not mistaken in express
ing the opinion that our Mayor intends to
assert his prerogative to preserve the
peace with impartial hand, no matter
who may be its violators Our city au-
thorities were not responsible for the dis
turbance and the warlike display which
was made from the garrison The soldiers
were not in their places when they in
truded themselves upon the colored ball +;
nor when the bloody assault was made on
the policeman. If the officer of the gar
rison is not willing for his men to be
dealt with as other disturbers of the
peace, let him keep them out of the city
limits

The Memphis Appeal, in response to a
remark of THE CLARION, rises to ex-
plain its position on the Repudiated
Bond question:
The position of the Appeal is that the
time has not come for the people of Missis-
sippi to do themselves justice, aad deal fair
ly with their creditors, by redeeming their
Union and Planters Bank bonds But that
il will some day come, and be eheerfully
acknowledge, we are well persuaded by the
examples of those States whose credit rests
upon firm foundation, because they pay
promptly, and recognize even wrongful
debt rather than have their honor called in
question by pugnaciouS and indefensible
Reputation of it. Having the interest of
the people of Mississippi at heart, We have
urged upon their Legislature, and shall
continue 10 urge, postponement Of even a
consideration of this bill to a more convent
ent season.
Now, let us say to our good friend of
the Appeal, that the more convenient
season" will never come.
