Governor OF Mississippi Is acting
strangely. A dispatch from Jackson,
dated the 30th ult., u as follows:
The Governor, acting under advice
Of the Attorney General, to-day issued
u proclamation attempting to postpone
the State election against the proyls-
ion OF the State constitution aud code,
and adverse to the opinions Of the best
legal talent la the State. The Cover
nor also says that he will convene the
Legislature In extra session as soon as
possible. and call OH the State and
county officers to prevent n legal cleo
ton In November, while canvas Is
well under way. The utmost indigna.
ton prevails. The Pilot, the State Or
gan, pronounces the Governors move
ment incendiary, aud tending toward
revolution and anarchy. 1t Is believed
that the registers will obey the Cover
nor's orders, but that the election will
be held. and after he has called the
Legislature together he will b. im-
peached.
1t Is not stated In whose Interest the
Governor Is thus attempting the role
OF dictator, but It Is safe to say there
lisa "job" somewhere. Elections are
not usually postponed % constitu-
tions violated, save In special emery
encles. And we will wager that Ben.
Buffers son-in-law has whispered
something In the ears, of the Governor
Of Mississippi.

ST. Paul Misrepresentcd by Hotel
Keepers.

We regret TO learn that the prOprietOrs of
two of the principal hotels in this city have a
second time refused to admit to their accom-
modatOns for the travelling public, Mr..
Frederick Douglass, Of Washington. 1t is
fairly presumable that their only objection to
receiving him is on account of his color, and
that the landlords do not reject him 50 much
on account of their own preiudices as on &C.
count of the supposed prejadices of their Or
binary guests. We may be permitted to re-
mark that in Mr. Douglass case the color is
rather thin, or was in his younger days. But,
seriously. we believe the landlords oyeresti-
mate the prejudices of their guests. Mr..
Douglass is a gentleman in his behavior, be-
ing quiet and unassuming, and is free from
vices and filthy habits, and clearly in his
person and dress. We cannot imagine that
any gentleman could seriously object TO
sleeping and eating under the same roof with
such man or against his having equal privi-
leges with themselves in the common COM
forts and conveniences of hotel. II there
arc such, it is quite susceptible Of proof that
their judgments are at: ault, since any lead
Ing hotel almost daily receives as its guests
men who are Extensively loud and dem0nstra-
tive, full of vices and filthy habits and I'M
clearly in person as in mnd-whose only
qualifications for admission anywhere in the
neighborhood of decency are good clothes
and white skin.
We can but regard il as discreditable to
our city that the barbaric pride OF race should
seem to remain in full force here, and enter
our protest against the false seeming.
OF course, Mr.. Douglass does not lack for
hospitality. He is the guest Of W. l.. VIII
son, who entertained him upon the occasion
of his last visit.-St. Paa! (Minn.) Utp1tet.

Letter from Texas.

CREswELL, Feb. 3, 1873.
To the Editors ofthe Neu National Era:
The whites are making sad havoc of the
public free schools in Houston county. On
the 9Th day Of January Sunday some white
boys mobbed some colored children that at
tend the Crcswell Colored Seminary, who
took refuge in the school-housc, when these
rascals stoned the schoOl-house.
On the night of the 9th of January some
of the chivalry took out the white teacher of
colored school, and, after confscatng his
clothes, as the Jews did the Saviour's, beat
him numerically.
On the night of the 3lst of January the
wealth and intelligence Of Ncyille's Prairie
burnt the books, states, and copy-books OF
the free school at Prairie Chapel. Nothing
of this sort was done last year, the county
officers and Legislature being Republican
but now the county officers and the Legis-
lature are Democrats, and the devils to pay.

He is, by profession, a Baptist preacher, and

he likes.
And now let me wind up my personnel OF
the Senators by closing upon
Hon. p. D. BARROW,
who, with Senator Mygatt, represents this
county. Mr.. Barrow is native ofthis State,
took an active part in the Republican party
from the date Of its organization, and has a
tact of beng always on the strongest side OF
all questions brought before the people. even
in the ranks Of the party. He was elected
to the House Of Representatives in 1869, and
in 1871 was elected for four wears to the
Senate. When he speaks he keeps his arms
in full play, with fists tightly clnchcd, re-
CARELESS of appropriateness to the points he
makes. But is always direct in his remarks,
regardless Of consequences. He has stern
countenance, prominent forehead, heavy
eyelids, thin nose, a good shaped mouth,
brown complexion, and few grains of hair
scattered on the side of his face and over his
top lip.

tors, but the Senate is considered a rather
dry place, with a sOmbre appearance. SO,
in my next, l will take YOU into the House,
where there is great deal more variety and
spice.

4 vERY interesting case has been lately
carried up to the Court of Appeals of Ken
lucky from the Logan Circuit Court, involv-
ing question in regard TO slavery, which has
furnished so many vexed questions of law for
our courts to decide. This is case wherein
one Thomas Medley, of Logan county, made
his last will and testament in the year 1853,
and in it provided that a certain family Of ne
groes, who were his slaves, were TO be euian-
cipated when they arrived at certain ages !;
and it was also provided in his will that his
executor should hire out the said slaves for
the purpose of creating 4 fund 10 transport
them to Liberia, which was 10 be done in the
year 1870. The testator died in the year
1854, and the executor under the will con-
tnued to hire out the negroes until the year
1865. when they were all made free by the
thirt zenith constitutional amendment. BY
this time the fund in the hands Of the execn-
tor amounted 10 several thousand dollars,
and, as the negroes elected TO go to Liberia
in 1870, the question arose as to who was en-
titled to the fund, the heirs or the former
slaves Of the testator. Richard Neeley, one
Of the servants mentioned in the will, Joined
with the others, and in ISL brought suit
against the executor and his sureiies 10 re-
cover the money that was TO have been used
in transporting them TO Liberia, but the Cir
cult Judge sustained the demurrer to theiI
petition, and dismissed the case. From thi:
decision the plaintiffs have appealed.

To the Editors Of the Ne,c National Era:
Respecting the annexation of Cuba, to
which some object on account of its inter-
ference with the "Iaw of Natons:''
The "Law of Nations" is to Republic
what the laws Of pugilists, gamblers, and

little regard, for the highest benefit they af-
ford is ';;t the regulation, not the removal, Of

mailing war upon each other. But Repub-
liz being a covenant, all having the same
interest, has no affinity or regard for dcspotic
regulations any further than the best mode Of
avoiding or overthrowing them.

The statement made By ex-senator Iar-
Ian, which is confirmed by letter from Du-
rant, pretty eiIectualiy disposes OF the scan
dial concerning the use Of money, in 1906, in

was not contributed by the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company. Mr. Harlan is out Of Office

in persisting in attacking him. His explana-
