a had Outlook.

The Conservative members of the
Legislature and the Conservative press
of the State have given to Gov. Ames
most unstinted pledges of support in all
his promises of economy. The votes of
the former will show that these pledges
will be stoutly maintained. The Cover
nor has the power of redeeming them if
he will. The influence he is known to
have exercised in the Senatorial election,
shows that at this stage Of his Admins
tration he is all-powerful with his party.
If extravagant legislation is not arrested,
the blame will fall upon him. Things
look bad now. The Legislature has near
ly set out the time of ordinary sessions,
and nothing, literally nothing, has been
done, beyond spending several thousand
dollars daily

Il needed no assurance from this clear
headed and true-hearted patriOs, that his
affections are bound mp with the State.
which has often trusted her interests TO
his keeping, and never found him want
ing in fidelity to her cause. His letter,
advising impartial treatment of the new
Administration by the people opposed to
it, viii command the respectful attention
which is given BY his fellow-eitizens to all
his utteranees upon public affairs. We
may remark, that in Gov. Browns own
career may be found a conspicuous ex-
ample of the good effect resulting from
the course he now recommends. When
he was first elected Governor, the Quit
mans, Towards, Thos. III. Williams and
men of that sort were his most bitter OPP
posers. They all claimed to be Demo-
Gratis, and led the van against him on the
Bond Question. Then on the Wing side
we're Prentiss, Bingaman, Guion, Temp
kins, Chiffon, and others of that school.
When the election was over he was in
stalled and his confreres of the Demo
cratic opposition, and Prentis-, Tomp-
kins, Guion and others of the " ing side
came forward and offered him an honest
and impartial support, which he received.
He encountered no purely factions oppo-
sition, and the result was the most sue
cessful and prosperous Administration
which the Commonwealth, 10 her palm
lest days, ever enjoyed. Now ali LEI par
ties accord alike support to whatever is
meritorious liz the cause of the present
incumbent. If he is successful i'll doing
good, the Conservatives will have the
satisfaction of knowing that the State has
been benefited. If he fails to redeem his
pledges, the fault will not be theirs. To
Mississippians the good of the State ought
to be, and we are sure will be, paramount
to partizan considerations. What is
most wanted now is the Punishment of
strife between the races. An incorrupti-
bic and capable Judiciary. An honest and
economical government. A reduction of
taxes

The New Kansas Senator.

Gov. Booth, of California, the Rep
resentative of the Independent Reform
or Autobiography party, will have con-
federate in the United States Senate in
the person of Gov. Harvey, recently
elected from Kansas. In reply to ques-
ton whether he considered his election a
victory for the straight Republicans, or
for the Reformerr, he declared unquestion-
ably for the latter. He further stated
that he was among the first men in the
Reform movement over year ago. He
was elected by opposition votes, having
received their solid vote It will not be
long before Booth and Harvey win be re-
iniorced.

Alcorn, Powers, Mckee, Carter and
their late Coo lnspirators have now lost
al power for good or for evil, as Republi-

late acts; they have no inclination to do
it any particular good. They have made

chronic boilers and disorganizers, and
every time that they may put up their

Republican party, they will find the

Hannibal G. Carter.

There was no Conservative candidate
for public printer, and the honor Of a
complimentary vote was not sought. The
body of the Conservatives as a choice be-

SovEREIGNs OF INDUsTRY.-This is

the same form of organization as the Pa
irons of Husbandry. 1t declares itself
to be in league with the Patrons of Hus-
bandry. The circular says: 1.-The
Oranges have saved millions of dollars
to the farmers. But. since the Grange
admits only those who are interested in
agricultural pursuits, it has been found
necessary to institute a new Order that
shall welcome to its membership all class
es of laboring men and women. And
this Order will save to its members also.
millions of dollars. 1t is, and will con-
tinue to be, in thorough sympathy and
hearty cooperation with the Patrons of
Husbancry, both being parts of one great
whole, whose destiny is to work out bet
ter future for the industrial classes of
this country. The times are ripe for the
movement. You have but to combine,
