The day Is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings OF Night,
As a feather is waited downward
From an eagle in his fight.

The Pamela Star recalls its endorse
ment of the call for Convention on the
9Th of January and SAYS it is g free to
+" admit that the Arguments of the South
g are conclusive to our minds against the
propriety of holding any convention for
the purpose of adopting a platform at
this early day"
The Carthagenian regards the time
as inopportune"-and advises postpone
ment of a movement for a Cor vention
until the crops are in the ground"
1t is doubtful if the Convention is held
at all. 1t is certain that it will be at
tended by duly appointed delegates from
but few of the counties. The reasons
urged by the Democratic journals dis
senting from the movement at this time,
seems to have pervaded the masses gen.
orally. We will repeat our earnest wish
that if Convention is held, whether the
attendance be large or small, that every
thing will be done to heal and nothing to
open afresh, divisions among the opposers
of Radical misrule. Events are rapidly
maturing to bring them together and to
compel their cooperation and the subor-
dination of minor issues aud non-essen-
tials TO the public safety.

Where does the Responsibility Be.
10Rg?

Crosby says that the incendiary publ
cation which was sent out over his sigma
ture, but which he disclaims responsibility
for, inspired the negro rabble to leave
their business in the country and attempt
an armed invasion of Vicksburg TO brow
beat her citizens and convert their homes
into a scene of revelry and debanch.
Crosby and his guilty cOnfederates, no
doubt had hand ia the business, but the
bulk of the responsibility rests upon the
authors and signer of the Proclamation
issued by Gov Ames. These officials
will be fortunate if their bloody instruc-
tions do not return to plague them before
the game is up.
The Vicksburg Times, Republican
paper, says:
"Whosover instigated this movement,
and induced the more ignorant negroes
of the rural districts to suppose that they
could march into and take possession OF
the town. should be held to an account
for it, and we hope that sooner or later
the real offenders will be sifted out. One
fact is, that there was not single town
darkey in any one of the three divisions
which made attacks. Where it will end is
question which puzzles the mind Of the
oldest citizen"

Meeting Of lhe.LeEi-uarnre.

Gov. Ames has al opportunity to retrieve
his error and reclaim the ground be has
lost
We have reason TO believe that he has
re considered his original design Of Or
gaming a cutthToat militia ostenzibly TO
protect the peace, but VIGOROUSLY to over
awe the male citizens, insult their wives
and daughters, and depredate on their
property. a second thought must have
convinced him that this programme
would lead to the most fearful consequent
ces to the peace of the community, and
70 the authors and actors in plot so ne
farious and diabolical.
Scarcely less to be deprecated would be
call by partizan Legislature at his
dctation, on the u. ;. for troops on
pretence Of enforcing the laws. The call
would be confession of the failure and
impotency Of his own administration,
which, being true, would be well enough,
but It's criminality would consist in its
misrepresentation of the condition of af-
fairs in the State. With the exception
Of Warren county, there has been no
disorder any where, notgiths an2ing the
deep discomfort Of the Tax payers at the
wrongs they have suffered and in that
county, the overt acts have been brought

tizan officials in defiance of the patient
endurance and earnest protests of the
people But even there, no disturbance
now exists. The bondless Sheriff in
despair of further abusing the patience
u the people, has resigned, and an cleo
ton for his successor has been legally
ordered and viii De held peaceably, if
not interrupted By parties interested in
producing disorder.
Tie way for Gov. Ames to retrieve his
lost ground and improve his present OPP
portunity, is to recognize the existing
status in Warren county; to advise that
the election shall proceed with due order
as the only proper step under the circuni-
stauces-that the justice be dealt to in
dicted officials severer penalties be
prescribed for office holders who treat the
laws they are elected to administer with
or use them as cover for rob
bling the people. Let him also make
good his original pledge to reduce ex-
peuditures in all the departments of the
state observation-disclosures with the |
swarm of supernumc-ary office holders |
who are quartered on the public crib and |

expenditures can be cut down at least

THE WARREN COUNTY AT.
FAIR.
address OF the Tax-Payer-.

As the affair Of the Warren county
taxpayers and their plundering officials
and the blind and misguided dupes Of the
latter, is destined to cut an important fig
ure in the pending State and National
contests, we have given the address of the
committee Of taxpayers place in our ed
| itorial columns to the exclusion of other
matter designed for them. The address
is clear, calm, and full statement of the
| facts and complete vindicationofthe course
of the taxpayers. 1t refu:es the calumny
propagated by Gov. Ames in his procla-
nation that it was color line movement
against colored Office holders on account OF
their color; and shows that the proceed
ings of the taxpayers in the first place
was to uphold the laws and to protect
themselves against robbery; and in the
second place, that the fight was entirely
in seif-defense by the Taxpayers, and was
rendered absolutely necessary to defend
their homes from bloodshed and debauch
by vicious and Ignorant rabble who had
been enticed into their lawle-s conduct by
the proclamation of Gov. Ao;.<, and the
persuasion Of the thieves AMI embs zzIers
whose depredations had been the prime
cause of all the difficulties.
The address is signed by such we'll
known names as Elk. Gov. Humphreys, J.
w NJ. Harris, J. H. D. Bowman, Ere ie-
rio Speed, Warren Cowan, E. S. Butts,
Gordon Adam, A. NJ. Paxton, and others
whose statement, even if unsupported by
the powerful array of facts which testify
to the truth of the document, would be
accepted by the public as worthy Of full
belief. The taxpayers may be content to
rest their vindication upon it.

shed thus far, and for all the complica-

1t is evident that the precipitate action
OF Gov. Ames in calling the Legislature
together at<heavy expense to an over
burthened people, and the risk Of imper-
ling the public peace, does not meet
with favor even at the hands of his party
in Washington. The following is the
special telegram from chat city to tie

kilograms from reliable sources in
Mississippi state that quiet prevails there
now. Everybody finds fault with Gov.
Ames for calling an extrs. session of the
legislature, which action is believed to
be unnecessary, and out of which can
come come no material good results and fur
Their, that the State will be put to an ex-
ira expense of from $50, 900 to SIS, 600.
The probability is that among the first
things that will be done by the Lecisla-

censuring the Governor for the course he
has pursued iii this, if not in regard to
other matters.

SOushern OuaraEeS 40 be Thor
OmghIy Investigated.

Special Dispatch to the st. Louis Globe.I
Early in the coming session of Congress
steps will be taken to secure the PuOhca-
ton in an official form of the facts IN the
possession of the government, particularly
in the Treasury Department, regarding
the outrages committed in the South pre-
vious to the recent elections. Among
these documents will be found reports
from revenue officers of the United States,
marshals. United States Commissioners
and special agents to the several executive
departments who were on duty In the
South at the time, all of which will serve
to prove that stories of the condition OF
affairs, the intimidation of voters, the
murder of inoffensive citizens and the
reign of terror have not been exaggerated,
and that, in fact, the truth in this regard
has not been half told.
All the signs indicate that the Repub-
lican leaders intend to play strong game
in the outrage bushes to regain their lost
ground. They will exagerate actual oc-
currences F.; make mountains out of mole
hills, and manufacture sensational facts
where none exist Their object will be
to revive the war issues by which their
party increased its power and on which it
lived and fourished.
The several elements comprising the
Opposition to Radicalism-the Demo-
Gratis, Liberals, Conservatives and indie
pendents, all destined in 1876, to unite
under the same banner and to be desig-
mated by the same title-will, if they are
prudent, refuse to accept the gage of bat
tie upon any such issue. They will in
sist upon treating the war and the sec
tional and domestic questions originating
with it, as permanently and irrevocably
settled, and will move forward on the
line Of economy, honesty, competency and
fidelity to the Union and the constitution,
subordnating all other questions to these
paramount objects. BY the way, the old
Wing maxim, the Union, the Constitu-
ton and the Enforcement of the Laws
would be an admirable slogan for the
cohorts of Reform in the pending struggle |
for national supremacy

a New Scheme for Paying state
kfebes.

From the St. Louis Heuublican ! y
The foreign holders of the bonds O.
certain Southern States have come, at las
to the conclusion that these debts are bao
ones, and some compromise of their claims
will have to be submitted TO- They have
accordingly sent over Mr.. J Ohm Mackinnon
to this country with a proposition to be
offered to each Of the States in default
| The proposition Is not remarkable for its
lIberallty. lit is that, in each case, the
| present bonds bearing per cent. interest
shall be refunded in new ones, either
bearing per cent. and payable in ten
/ years, or bearing D per cent. and paya-
bic III twenty years. In consideration of
this concession Of one of two per cent. in
the interest rate, the state is to embody a
| bond tax IN its annual revenue levy, and
set aside the proceeds sacredly to the pay
ment or the interest and principal or It's
debt. The bonds, princi pal and interest,
are payable in London in gold. The bill
which Mr.. MackinnOn brings with him to
be enacted by the State legislatures, pr. =
vldes that in case the auditor refuses tn
levy the bond tax, any bond holder shall
have right to a writ Of mandamus from,
the state courts to compel HIM to do 40.
The governors of Virginia, South Carroll
ma, Mississippi and Arkansas have agreed
to submit the scheme to their legislatures,
some CT them with recommendation in
lis favor. Georgia has rejected it, ON the
ground that the Bullock bonds which il
has dlsowned were fraudulent, and il
does not intend to pay them. While the

How am Alien Governor Treats
fsae Citizens.

Il could hold no intercourse with the
''mob at Nicksburg," was the language
of Gov. Ames in reference to the citi-
zens of Warren county, who were insis-
ting on the administration of Justice and
repelliug an invasion Of their homes by
an armed and un.uly rabble. Ii the
Governor had been citizen of the
State instead of an alien, he would have
visited the scene of the trouhle-put
himself on personal communication with
the people-sympathized with them in
their misfortunes, and employed his
powers to remove the causes Of the dis
order A pledge from him that the in
dicted officials should be brought to JUS
tee and compelled to obey the law, or
suffer the penalties of its violation, and
of warning to the ignorant country ne
grOes to remain at their homes would
have quoted the trouble. On the con
trary, without .,ense or discretion, hs be-
come the partizin Of the wrong doing Of
ficials, issued his libelous proclamation,
calls the legislature together on a false
pretext, notified the citizens that they
are ga mob" with whom he will not
deign to "hold intercourse" and in every
possible method which malice anil icno-
rance Of the duties of his office could
suggest, has added fuel to the flame.
