The Legislature is composed lsrpel,
of colored men. If they will reject the

be retaliated by rigorous measures of re-

Further inquiry has satisfied US that
the election of Judge Hurst in the 3rd
District, notwithstanding the personal
popularity OF his opponent, was sacrificed
to questions purely local and personal
a courthouse question is the bane of har-
monlous action. He lost heavily at Mag
nolla also for the insufficient reason that
as counsel for L. L. Traube in the muir
der case, he was efficient in procuring bail
Tor his client. IT our friends do not learn
to subordinate minor considerations to tho
public welfare they may make up their
minds never to get their faces from tho
grindstone.

The Vicksburger is able to announce
| that the officers and directors of the Mem
phis and Vicksburg Railroad have made
arrangements for the building of this road,
at least from that city to Rolling Fork.
The contractors are Messrs. Duclos,
Wells y Co., heavy capitalists of New
York. They guarantee to build ten miles
of the road within six months, and thirty
one miles from the north bank of the
4azoo river, about Cardiff Landing to
Rolling Fork, in twelve months, the
work to commence at once. soon as
this portion of the road is finished, they
will build the road hence to the Yazoo,
some twelve miles and cross the stream
with bridge.

RumOred DeGBlca GiOn and Flight
of w. Card 20.

There have been for the last few day,
rumors that L. w. Cardozo, Superinten
dent Of Public Education has fled the
State. 1t lis known that he left here OF
Saturday night last. and it is said that lie
told his friends that he was going to New
Orleans to be out of the reach of the
Vicksburg Tax Leaguers as the Govern
Or was powerless to protect him.
On Monday last Mr.. Osborn, Superin-
tendent of the Tugaloo University, came
here to interview Cardozo about the funds
OF that institution.
The circumstances are as follows The
Legislature at its last session appropria-
ted six thousand dollars to the Tugaloo
School and Cardozo was elected by The
Trustees, Treasurer of the fund On
Thursday last the Superintendent applied
for two thousand dollars and received
promise from Cardozo that he would paw
the money on Monday, the 18th inst
Mr.. Osborn came on Monday and found
Cardozo non est. He also found that the
warrants had been drawn from the Au.
ditor, endorsed by Cardozo as Treasurer
and sold by him to the Capital State
Bank. The circumstances have occa-
stoned the report above announced. We
suppose the Governor has taken steps TO |

claim for trial the absconding official who
is under Indictment in Warren county
md to recover the public money he is
exported to have used.

| 'i'sse 1IsesV.'s'iRS: .:lnsI. Isis. R,fsrS:,te
! Secretary.

Rumor gives several different reasons
for the removal, or resignation of DR..
| Fred. Barrett, the Private Secretary nj
Gov. Ames. One report is that DIR. Bar.
rett as Treasurer Of the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum had deposited Il box said to can.
tain the funds of the ASYLUM, in Messrs.
Greens Bank, and had upon the faith OF
that deposit drawn a considerable sum of
money, and when called upon to settle,
on failing to DO so, an examination of the
box was had and no funds were found
therein; and also that he has failed to
make report Of the financial condition
of the Asylum, to the Trustees.
Another report IS that he resigned be-
cause he did not approve the Governors
course in the Vicksburg affair. And still
another report is that the disagreement
related to business Of private nature
disconnected from politics.
We suppose the true state of the
Ease will be reveled ere long.
