Governor Amos on the slInntion

JACKSON, Miss, December 1.-THE
Legislature assembled at noon and nearly
all the members were present. The Gov.
ernor sent in his message claiming that
the present condition OF affairs was
brought about by tho violent white men
for political purposes. lie says that at
this moment the State and County au.
thorities are successfully resisted, and the
tree action OF the officials is impossible.
Armed insurgents procure orders Tor
local elections with the intention that the
ballots will be cast in such q reign Of ter.
ror that the will of the majority may be
undOne by the minority The insurgents
have deliberately and knowingly entered
into a work Ol revolution and We must
face the facts ss they exist. II the insur-
rection is successful it must reduce the
msjority to the will Of the minority; and
that minority which means power by
force, must retain it by legislation as
harsh and cruel as itsfirst acts OF violence;
in which case one race will be deprived
OF their rights and rGmanded back to as
unfortunate condition as they have
ever known, or else be compelled
to wander, seeking freedom rather than
homes, as Is now the case with MANY OF
their race in other States. Ho makes no
recommendations to the Legislature, but
when 1t is remembered that the majority
OF the House are blacks and the Gov
ernor's whole message an appeal to the
prejudices OF that majority, It's general
tenor cannot be mistaken. He closes by
requesting the Legislature 10 take such
steps as will overthrow the insurrection
in Warren county and prevent similar
occurrences, and l venture to express the
hope that there arc but few of our citi-
zens who will not cheerlully respond TO
any demand made upon them. The Leg.
islature don't seem to know how 10 rrap-
pie with the problem presented 10 them.
Probably they will ask the United States
for troops for Vicksburg; probably they
will repeal the law authorizing special
elections, thinking to defeat tho special
election already ordered In Warren coun.
ty on the 3lGt OF December.

TAXATION IN THE SEVERAL STATES
The official figures for 1878 and 1874 give
some curious facts about the rate OF taxa.
tlon In the several States. The rates vary
all the way from 10 cents on the $lOO, in
Connecticut, to the startling sum of 50 10
on $l00, in Louisiana. After Connecticut,
which leads the list with 10 cents, comes
Indiana and Oregon with 10 cents, Mary.
land with II cents, Rhode Island with
90 cents, Michigan with 90 cents, Illinois
with "a cents, Georgia, Kansas, Ohio and
Tennessee with 40 cents, Missouri with
As cents, Alabama, Arkansas, California,
Maine, Minnesota, Texas and Virginia,
50 cents, West Virginia 20 cents, South
Carolina and Florida 70 cents, New York
72i cents, Nevada 81 1St, Louisiana
81 10. Making all due allowance for diI-
ference in the taxable valuations, there
still remains a variance which can only
be explained on the supposition that some
Of the States arc economically managed,
and others with ruinous extravaganza.

rho Moral Hazards OF Insurance.

The Charleston fire, by which over d
hundred thousand dollars worth Of prop,
erty was destroyed, and the Boston free
by which five times thatamount was like

diaries, as indeed are go many fires oI
late. Destruction by incendiary fires il

ing the excitement, 1t Is time TO be
aroused as TO the dangers that threaten
every community. There is no safety ex.

would have been triillDg as compared

hard to insure against the wide spread
depravity that is maniiesting itself In
these incendiary fires. And the prospect

will increase rather than diminish. The
number OF the unemployed is certainly
increasing, and this winter will be a try
