one Of the most eloquent Of our stump

a closely analytical mind. He was a firm
adherent Of the Union during the war
but he declined to go with the Republi.

differ with a majority Of his Union friend,
and associates, he retired from politics a

Last week will be memorable in the
life of a laxative Gold Hill miner who

to the questioning look, drew a six-shootsr

For ourselves, We propose to refer the

upon in the matter of organization, We
are prepared to sustain 1t Is foregone
conclusion that there viii be no division
in reference to the platform and that
differences of detail viii be lost eight OF
in the necessity of achieving the para
mount end of reforming the State Adj
ministration and wrestling the Iaw-Jna-
king department of the State from
the control Of ignorance and corrup-
ton.

crimes must be pressed home upon their
authors and they must be made to IN
derstand that taxation without represen-
tation is the worst description Of tyranny
The violation Of this doctrine is the pri-
mary cause of the evils that now beset

disbursed the taxes wrung from the peo-
pie, without a sense of responsibility to
them, and upon the idea that the State

the several counties. The people must take
the matter in hand in their own localitie:

cints, with a determination to leave moth
ing undone to elect Legislature which
will arrest the progress of the State down

Hon. l.. q. G. Lamar-The Sena-
tOr~hip.


This gentleman's name has been men-
toned in connection with the U. S. Sen
atorship, and some controversy has sprung
ND, involving not so much his aeknowl-
edged merits and eminent qualifications,
as the propriety of designating favorites
and inducing them to enter the lists as
candidates at this time. We can say
with perfect confidence that We do not
err in regard to his views, that Col.
Lamar holds that the first object of the
Democrats and Conservatives, and the
friends of reform in this State, no matter
by what name they may prefer to be
called. should be TO secure majority IN
the Legislature, and that when this Is
accomplished, they should determine in
| caucus who is the choice Of the majority,
and unite upon aud elect the candidate
thus chosen; and that it would be unwise
to throw obstacles in the way of this end
by personal scramble for the Office in
advance of the election OF members OF
the Legislature.
If we do not mistake the temper of the
people they are concerned more about
carrying the Legislature and correcting
the lawmaking power of the State from
the hands of ignorance and corruption
than anything else.
Col. Lamar is a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the House of Representatives.
He has so well improved his opportunities
for serving his people and country in
that position, that they will return him
by vote approximating unanimity. If
| Democratic and Conservative Conven-
| ton is held, of course his action will be
| subject to its decision. If the formality
| of such Convention should be dispensed
with in a case where the peoples choice
has been so emphatically and unmistaka-
bly, expressed through every other chan
mel, no alternative will be left him but to
accept the position assigned him.
We will add that the Senatorial cleo
ton will not take place until three months
after the members of the Legislature are
elected, and the return of Col. Lamar to
the House of Representatives will not be
an obstacle to his promotion to the Senate
if it should be the desire of that body
! Meantime if his services at the hastings
in the pending canvass are requested by
the State Committee, we have no doubt
they will be freely given. He be-
lieves that there ought to be a vigorous
Canvass charge along the whole line
for the rescue of the State from the
Vandals and the people may rest as
sured that his white plume like that of
Henry of Navarro will wave where the
encounter is fiercest.

The ALGERIA University Matters

A CORES pendent, Honesty" drives tc
the centre some home thrusts in connec-
ton with the Alcorn U University matter,
and the thing is beginning to look more
serious than ever He shows that the
| Injunction obtained to defeat the will of
the people, as expressed through the
Legislature, does not afford even a
shadow Of pretext for the late Treas
urer to withhold from the legal custodi-
an the $50, 900 Of public money which
he holds. The provisions of the law can
not be misunderstood. They are as
plain as daylight, requiring that the
money shall be transferred to other hands.
Our correspondent openly charges that
there are grounds for believing that the
money is not paid over for the reason
that the late Treasurer of the University,
Ireland, SIS defaulter." In any event
there is necessity for prompt action in
the case. Is there no one authorized to
represent theState, or the taxpayers who
contributed this large fund? Governor
Ames signed the law, why don't he see
that it is executed ? Has the Attorney
General no power to act in the premises
Is there nobody who will come to the res
cue; and shall the Press be left to fight
the battle alone, and unaided by those
who have the power toact with vigor and
effect?
Our correspondent makes another
charge which needs explanation; and |
which, if true, vitiates the Injunction. !
He says that the old Board of Trustees
did not institute the proceedings but on
ly part of the number, and he mentions
the names of those who unqualifedly
it. Verify there is something
rotten in Denmark.

The Mexican Policy of the Admin M
istratiOm.

1t is more than suspected that it Will be
the policy of the Administration to get
up war withMexico to divert attention
from its delinquencies and to restore its
popularity. 1t is even limited that when
Grant eonquers peace from Mexico,
in the way of indemnity for the past he
will secure and set apart large slice of
the acquired territory for the colonization
of.the negroes, and that by this means he
will win the favor ofthe Southern whites
for whose prescriptions and oppression
his power has been ruthlessly and cruelty
welded. This is plausible theory, but
whether the attempt will ever be made to
put it i'll practice, remains to be seen.
1t is certain that if the troops who have
been garrisoned in the Southern States for
partisan purposes had been kept on duty
on the frontier, there would have been
no pretext for war with Mexico.

Arcorn University and the Agri-
caTturaI College Land Scrip.


Atthe last session of Congress the
House Committee on Education and
Labor made a report on the condition
and management of the colleges which
had received the benefit of this fund.
We do not know whether Alcorn Uni
versity was included among the institu-
tions examined; but if it had been the
result must have been very unsatisfac-
tory, not only as to the mode of invest
ment but in the management of the fund.
In the case of that institution, the mu-
nifeent donation of Congress has been
grossly pplied-~almost literally squan-
dered
When the fund was employed for the
establishment Of the institution, We pro-
tested against it as violation of the act
Of Congress and warned its projectors
that they were forfeiting the right Of the
State to the fund, but our remoustran-
ces were unheeded. The result has YER
flied our worst predictions. The fund
has been squandered and according TO
the Report ofthe Legislative Committee,
the University has been converted into
den of vice and thievery, and nothing
short of the demolishing of the whole
concern and sowing the grounds with
salt will answer the purpose of purifca-
ton.
The Congressional Committee, at the
conclusion of their report, submitted for
adoption the following resolution;
Resolved, That the Acknowledgement
be requested to report to the House what
measures, if any, should be taken by the
United States to secure from any State
the fulfllment of its contract to preserve
undiminished the principal of the fund
derived from the grant of land made by
the United States for the support of col
leges of agriculture and mechan ical arts,
and whether in his judgment the provi-
sions of the existing law are sufficient to
afford remedy in the premises.
We do not know what was done with
this resolution, but we presume it was not
acted upon. At all events, full ven
tilation of the whole matter will devolve
upon the new Congress, and it is more
than likely that the Alcorn University
business will receive the attention it de-
serves. 1t will afford striking example
of the way in which fund contributed
by the federal government for useful and
benevolent purposes has been expended
and how shamelessly its confidence has
been abused in at least one of the carpet
bagged States.
