Gov. Ames of Mississippi
does not carry out the high
toned promises which he made
when elected to the executive
chair. He has appointed ig-
norant negroes to high Office,
aud has saved negro murderers
from the fate-which they de-
served. The result is that
Ames has been hanged in
efigy by the people of Scott
county. The effigy, after
swinging to the breeze for
several hours, was dutifully
taken down by an oficeholder.

Southern Credit.
From the st. Louis Republican,

0Uut0eIu UTeo1C.
From the st. Louis Republican,
In q recent article the Mo-
bile Register asserted the COM
plete ability of Alabama to
pay all her obligations, if only
the administration Of the state
government were given back
to her own people. What Is
here said of Alabama may with
equal truth be said Of other Of
the Southern states. Tax-rid~
den and burdened with enors
nous debts as they are, their
ability to pay cut is only .
question Of tune and an honest
administration Of the revenues.
It is a mistaken idea to sup.
pose that any of these states
wish to evade any legally in-
CURED liabilities. The fact is
notorious that large percent
age of Southern bonds are
tainted with fraud the markets
OF Europe have been flooded
with promises to pay, for
which the South received no
equivalent; the courts, if these
bonds we're subjected to judi
cial inspection, would pro-
nounce them invalid yet
even these obligations would
be eagerly assumed if the lia>
bility carried with it the right
to control their local affairs for
their own right and benefit.
Heavy as are these liabilities
and impoverished as are the
people. there is no question Of
their ability to work through
them, if only the opportunity
is given. This incubus will
not be lifted from the South in !
any other way. Those in pow
er now have demonstrated
their inability or unwillingness
to do it. Nor is it surprising,
in view Of the fact that they
are not identified by owners
ship with any Of the property
interests they control. Less
responsible than the agent
whose fiduciary trust repre-
SCENTS to him percentage on
the capital he invests, tie
carpet-bag rulers of the South,
have inaugurated a saturnalia.
of improvidence in which they.
recognize one only principle
that Of the Highland cateran /:
"Let him take who has the
power, and he must keep who
can" With these facts noto-
rious all over the world, It il
not strange that the credit Of
the South has sunk to its press
ent humiliating condition nor
should it occasion surprise that
her bonds are threatened with
exclusion from the markets Of
Europe.

The Louisiana Election Contest.

The Louisiana Eleetinn Contest.
Wash. Cor Cincinnati Enquirer, Still
The Louisiana election cons
test between Pinchback and
Sheridan came TIP in the House
to-day, and excited a degree Of
interest altogether unusual in
cases of this kind, which are
generally very dry and techni>
cal. The committee have re-
ported a resolution declaring
that neither Pinchback nor
Sheridan is entitled to a seat
upon the evidence furnished,
and allowing both parties to
take further testimony. Messrs.
Lamar, Grassland and Speer
report that Sheridan is entitled
to the seat. The debate OPEN
ed with a dull speech from
Boardman Smith, Chairman of
the Committee, in favor of the
majority report. Nobody lis
tened to him, though personals
" he is much respected. J..
Hale Sypher, the impqdent
carpet Dagger who was proven
to have stuffed the ballot-boxes
in his own election some years
since. spoke next in favor of
Pinchback, but gained no
audience. Mr.. Lamar, of Mis-
sissippi. was the next speaker.
His reputation in the House
for ability, eloquence and fair
ness secured him a hearing,
which, as he proceeded, soon
became general. He spoke
forcibly, to the law and the
facts involved in the case, puts
ting the claim of Sheridan in a
very strong light, and then
proceeded to discuss in a broad
and philosophic spirit and a
wien of singular eloquence the
relations of the Southern peo>
pie to the Government, and the
manner in which they had
been treated by the dominant
party since the war. The in
Justice and cruelty of this polls
cy, and the rapicity and extor~
ton of the Carpet-bag Govern
ments were stated with an
earnestness, force and convincs
ing power that went home to
the hearts and consciences Of
all listeners. This is the first
time since the war that the
case Of the South has been
adequately and fully presented
by one of her own sons, and il
was done to-day in a style te
which even Northern Republi.
cans could take no exception
| Mr.. Lamar's time was extended
by general consent until, aftel
speaking nearly two hours, ht
gave way from physical OK
haustion, having made whal
many deem the ablest ani
most statesmanlike speech O
the session. Nearly the Who'll,
house gathered around him tt
the close. It was a sad ending
to such plea by a Southern
statesman for justice to hi
people that the only choice TO
the representation as Congress
man at Large for the State o
Louisiana should be between
a mulatto and a carpet bagger
In neither case would the ma
tive white population of Lon,
isiana have a show. Sheridan

respects, successful in proving
. his legal title. and was anDland

Forthcoming Political Events.

Forthcoming Political Events
From the New York News1
The present month and the
next will be full of hustle for
the professional politicians, for
nc less than twenty State and
innumerable district and coun~
ty conventions will be held.
Then the elections follow.
Oregon has just led off with
the first Congressional election
of the year. Kentucky chooses
ten representatives in Congress
on August 8, and North Caro-
lima eight more on August g..
There will be a special election
to decide upon the acceptance
or rejection of the new consti>
tuition in Ohio, August Is. If
it is ratified, the annual cleo
ton for State officials will take
place November 3; but if it is
d I'll Fl
defeated, the election will come
off at the usual time in Octo>
Der. In September the Yer
mont and Maine elections for
State officers and Congressman
will occur. On the second
Tuesday in October, Indiana
will elect a Governor and
thirteen Congressman /; Nebras-
ka a Governor and a Crngress-
man, and iowa nine Congress-
men. Georgia follows the
next day with an election for
nine Congressman, and West
Virginia, October %, for q
Governor and three Congress
men. On the I'd of November
Louisiana will make another
effort to throw off the Kellogg
incubus, and on the Sd of Nos
vember the most important
election day of the year arrives,
when nineteen States includ-
ing New York, will choose
State officials, and no less than
one hundred and eighty-five
members Of Congress. It has
been customary for Pennsyl-
vania to hold her annual elec>
tons in October, but under the
new constitution the time is
changed to November, to be
uniform with that of New York
and New Jersey, so that we
shall hear no moro of "As
Pennsylvania goes, so goes
the Union" This year, then,
nearly all of the Representa-
tives Of the Forty-fourth Con-
