High Handed Proceeding.

The particulars of the high-handed
usurpation recorded below are copied Sec
ond hand from the Meridian Gazette
the Index containing them having been
misplaced. If the facts are as stated,
they involve the acting Governor in the
high crime of trampling under foot the
rights of a community and bidding def
ance to the laws of the State:
We see from the Columbus Index, that
Wallace, the defeated radical candidate for
Mayor, has been commissioned by the
Bully Boy" running the executive Office
at Jackson, as Mayor of that city.
The facts are these:
The election had proceeded without inter
ruption or disturbance. During the count.
an alarm OF fire was raised. The members
of the fire company, in whose room the
election had been held, hastened TO bring out
the engine. In the hurry and confusion.
the counting was Interrupted, and after
wards the judges refused 70 proceed with
the count. The democrats insisted that the
count should be proceeded with. This the
radicals refused, and the box was sealed up
and given in charge to the radical clerk OF
the circuit court. After consultation and
delay for weeks, the Board OF Aldermen,
unanimously radical, determined to finish
Tic tOuuC EOl TINS pun EOSS AIlNN dppoitlt-
ed three men of their own choosing, who
proceeded with the work assigned them.
The result was the election of Il democrat
c mayor and aldermen with democratic
majority And the result was so an
nounced.
Under what preteXt can the defeated par
ties claim to have been elected? When the
disturbance occurred, the ballot box was
taken charge of by one Henry Il. Whitfield,
than whom more accomplished radical
does not breathe. Afterwards the box was
never out of the keeping OF another radical
whose loyalty to his party cannot be ques-
toned, and finally the counting was fin
ished and the result announced by men APP
pointed by a unanimously radical board
and done in their presence and under their
supervision.
Are we in Mississippi to improve upon
maUters in Alabama and Louisiana? Are
officers elected by the people to be set aside
and others to be appointed at the demand
of mere partisan purposes:

Here is what colored Congressman,
Elliott, says about the bribery and cor
ruption which was practiced in the Leg
islature of South Carolina to elect Pat
terson, Carpet Bagger, to the United
States Senate:
can bear defeat. but the humiliation the
thing has brought upon our culOred race
that's what hurts me. Our race i now on
trial before the world as to its fitness to
govern What will be said after such Il
wholesale buying up a this The colored
men, as YOU know, are in large majority in
the Legislature, and then for them to DELHI
erately sell out by wholesale is a blow that
we can't get over for years. It Is a blow at
our integrity, our honesty, our manhood
The report has gone to the world that the
cOlored Legislators, making laws tor South
Carolina. have been bribed by Wholesale.
and the report is unfortunately true. " hat
will the world think of it?
1t may be added that Patterson has
been cleared before the Courts of the
charges brought against him. This was
expected. The Courts are as corrupt as
the Legislature. The purse that pro
cured his ticket to the Senate, saved him
from the Penitentiary.

Enumeration.

Il is stated by the President of the
North German Emigration Society, that
immense numbers of Germans will leave
for America in the spring. The commits
sions sent out by this Society to buy large
tracts flanl IN the Vest, has sailed for

the Radical rulers of this State have
done nothing whatever to put into opera

Old Simon Cameron, the inspiring ge-
Mus of the Radical devil-work in the o.
5. Senate, has been reelected to that
body from Pennsylvania. Col. Forney,
in his Philadelphia Press; said the ques-
ton as TO the United States Senator from
that State was in regard to the qualiti-
cations of the candidate, but solely
their purses. 1t is not a question of
brains but of dollars, said Forney. 1t
is not whether the next Senator is able to
speak, or 10 write, or to add to the honor
of his State. but whether he is able to
pay money for votes, 10 get offices for his
adherants, and to fulfill promises to the
local politicians.

The vicnnn Exposition.

It twill be seen that Col. Power, Of THE
CLARION and Capt. II 7. Fisher, have
been appointed by the Governor to rep
resent the interests Of Mississippi, in this
great exhibition. Their address to the
people of the State will he ionnd else
where. Il Is earnestly desired that the
industry and products of Mississippi
shall be displayed on that occasion, a. Il
means of attracting immigration; and 1t
Is hoped that their call for specimens
will be promptly forwarded. The ez-
position will be the grandest Of the
Kind ever known in the worlds history

From XickSbuFS,

Some thirty of the residents of Vicksburg
were brought TO this city on Wednesday and
taken before the United States Commission
er, Simon Jones, ESD charged with viola :
t ti OF. I'll internal revenue regulations, in
the sale of liquors. groceries. tob lcco. etc i.
without the usual United States licenses
They were all held in bail in various sums
for hearing before the United States
COurt.~Pilot.
And thereby hangs a tale which is told
by a correspondent of the Vicksburg
Herald, as follows:
Mr.. EDITOR There is an outrage on our
citizens being committed which we desire
you TO investigate. We understand that a
number of our citizens are charged with
some technical violation of the United
States law, in relation to the sale of tobacco,
some planters charged with its violation in
furnishing tobacco to their hands. This is
the act OF some dealer who gets half the fine
aSsessed--and if 300 men are fined 800 each
he gets one-halT, $4,000. But this is rot
the only outrage, but each one of these men
are summoned by j. j. Gainev, United
States Deputy Marshal. TO go to Jackson to
appear before Simon Jones, Commission
er, at Jackson, who charges them IS each to
give bond to appear at the next term of the
United States Court, making $1,000 more.
when the legal fee for taking bond is only
81 so; and the United States Marshal gets
SO much percentage mileage for taking
them ito Jacksonville trip costing Sc for
each, without hotel expenses at Jackson
making for the United States Commissioner
at Jackson, and railroad fare, about 1920
more.
Now. if the business men of Tazoo City.
NatcheZ Port Gibson, Woodville and other
places be required TO go TO jackson merely
To give bond, which might be done at home
before a United States Commissioner. il
will fleece our citizens of thousands of dol
lars to benefit the United States Marshal
and Commissioner at jackson. without
furthering the ends of justice. Is this
riChf? Is il legal? And must our citizens
submit, merely to enrich a few carpet-bag

referring to the recent election in
Natchez, in which ''all parties, white and

CUNNINeHAM will be seen that
Cunningham refuses to be interviewed
and moreover has declined to make his
promised revelations concerning the
parties involved in the Warrant villanies.
He assigns as his motive, the delay of citi-

suspected that his change of intention has
been wrought by Subsidying opera
ton.

Louisiana Matters.

The McEnery, or Citizens Legislature,
has been fully organized in both branches.
On Friday, the usurping Custom House
body was thrown into CONSERVATION by
the withd rawal Of seven Republican Sena-
tors who went over in body to the lawful
Legislature. On yesterday Gov. Mem
cry was inaugurated with imposing cere-
monies, in which the people of all races,
sexes and conditions, manifested deep
interest. Before the organization of the
Citizens administration, Pinchback. the
head fthe bogus establishment, issued a
proclamation forbidding such action and
threatening to dispense it, but finding the
Washington Administration unprepared
to sustain his pretensions, he quietly
backed down
The rival governments are now in full
blast; and the case is made up for the
decision of the Higher Political and Ju-
dicial tribunals of the country.
