The publishing company of the Holly

The publishing company of the Holly
Springs Tribune Gan official journal
established under the late Printing Law
gave Col. Nabers' notice that his
Services as editor were no longer needed.
Col. Nabers did not see it, and filed a
bill in Chancery oPreyent the execution
of the notice. In this bill divers and
sundry documents we're embodied to prove
that he had paramount claim to the
place from which it was proposed to
eject him. The following are the facts
as stated in the Independent South
On the 9Th of April, three days after
the passage Of the Printing Bill, Col.
Nabers addressed letter to Gov. Amos,
from which we make this extract
eff the law requires Chancellors and
Circuit Judges to select one paper IN
which all the official printing OF their
district shall be inserted, ask your help
TO enable me to get it, All you would
have to do would be to write me thar you
would require your appointees to give me
their printing. propose to have paper
to support the Republican Administration
State and National.
Here was proposition to Gov. Ames
involving the requirement on his part OF a
promise from the Chancellor TO be ap-
pointed, humiliating to the man who
would give it, and therefore degrading to
the office he was To fill.
A Governor of correct principles would
have rejected such a proposition with
/ 4 IL
man." and in due course of mail received
from his Excellency this reply:
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, }
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
JACKSON, Miss, April 10, 1874. }
To d. b. Nabers, Esq:
DEAR SIR:-Your favorin reference
to the District Printing is received uuo
contents duly noted.
l will be glad to cooperate with you
in the enterprise Of which you peak.
Very Respectfully,
ADELBEEr AMEs,
Governor.
Which letter can be interpreted Fl,
nothing more norless than a positive prom
Use that Col Nabers request would bC
complied with.
In the bill Col. Nabers farther state,
that the Governor more than once in per
sonal intercourse, and before the appoint
ment of Chancellor, assured him that ht
should have the legal printing Of the Dis
trict.
The Printing Bill did not go into oper
alton until Aug, 1, and sometime ir
July, the then newly appointed Chanc.l
lor, Abbot, thus replied to Il note from
Col. Nabers:
DEAR SIR:-Your note is received
In reply have to say, tits understood a.
a matter Of course, that the Chancery
Court printing Of Marshall, Loiayett,
and Yalobusha counties will 60 into ths
Tribune, &c. rev.
This naturally caused Col. Nabers e
rest easy in the belief of the Governor
had complied with the promise made tC
him Individually.
The sum Of the whole story is that in
addition to legal proceedings, Col. Nal or:
was preparing to discharge a broads'de,
full into the TANKS of the ring, and that
to avoid unpleasant exposures, they reced-
ed from their position and rcinstated him
! in the editorial chair.

The Tnx-E'aycr-s State Convention
Card from Cot. NuEent.

JACKSON, Miss, Nov. %, 1874.
EDITOR MERIDIAN MERCURY Il
much regret your notice of the Tax League
State Convention proposed to be held
here on the Isl Monday in January, next.
When the meeting that suggested the
Convention was held, was not aware of
the fact that a Convention had been
called to assemble at Vicksburg on the
eighth of January, and hence had no
such purposes as your article imputes to
me. In fact the movement was purely
non-political and was intended to include
all the taxpayers of the State. The
people cannot now pay their taxes and
the rational remedy Is TO prefer a suitable
petition to the Legislature calling atten-
ton to the grievance and indicating the
mods. Of redress. 1t was our purpose to
accomplish this and nothing more; and
in view of the impending calamity, to
unite, as far as practical, the whole peo-
pie in the effort to secure relief. When
our house is on fire we can scarcely be
expected to discriminate against any one
who will help us put it out. The Tax
Payers Convention il no way conflicts
with the proposed political Convention,
and certainly we did not intend it.
You will oblige me, by publishing this
card.

a CALI. FOR A STATE con.
VENEKON OF TAXPAYERS.

10 the Tar Payers Of the State of Missis
sippi.
The Tax-Payers of the first district OF
Kinds county, looking with concern upon
the alarming condition of affairs resulting
from onerous taxation, and the license
given by law to the boards of Supervisors
IN the imposition of burdens upon an inn
poverished people, have organized them
selves into League, to secure retrench-
ment and reform. As no isolated move
ment Of the kind can result in any general
good, they have appointed a committee
to call upon the whole people, white and
colored, taxpayers in every county, TO
organize Leagues, and lend delegates to
a Convention to assemble at jackson, on
MONDAY, THE Arm DAY OF JANUARY
NEXT,
TO take counsel together in this matter of
supreme trial, and petition the Legisla-
ture in respect to the reform needed and
the mode and measure Of redress. They
desire a firm, patient, well organized,
distinct and fair movement, in which all
can participate, and which shall in its
inception and consummation carry a NOR
al power that be ignored. We urge ativ-
ity and cooperation on the part of our
fellow citizens, as unless prompt action be
taken we have nothing to expect but
coniiscation, impoverishment and ruin.

A good deal Of remark has been excited
by the fact that the Duchess OF Edin-

as she Vas Russian. and as the old CAL
entiar Is 81, used in Russia, the date in
question was really the 9th OF January
there being difference OF IA days be-
tween tho Russian and the Gregorian
calendars. l would be pleased II you
publish this explanation-as under

EsrELLE.
-FOUR correspondents right IN saying
there is difference OF Il days between
the two calendars. but the difference is
in the opposite direction from that sug-
gested by our fair correspondent. II the
Duchess Of Edinburg was married. ON
the 23d Of January. o. s.. the real date
OF her marriage would have been the 9th
OF February would not help the
matter. A similar degree OF enterprise
was shown by the Princess OF Wales,
and. as any physician will testify, 1t
does not justify the slightest imputation
upon the honor Of the ladies concerned. ]
