HE Louisiana Census and its
Lesson.

By the census of 1870, the colored
population in Louisiana was 364, 210 F.;
and the white population 362, 065-the
colored majority being only 2, 145, which
represented voting negro majority of
only five hundred.
Now mark what follows. By the CEN
sus of 1873, just taken. the colored popu-
lation is 400, 029, and the white popula-
ton is 4l4, 361-showing that the colored
majority aggregates IS, 668-represer t.
ing voting majority Of eight or niue
thousand in the State. The question
arises, how mas this been brought about
Not by the la8s of natural increase. The
N. o. Picayune explains it by saying
that for the past six years there has
"been steady influx of negroes from
" Virginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina, some planters importing as
g many as hundred at time"
The same causes have been operating
here in Mississippi, and men who are
clamorous about taxation, have been the
most active in importing colored people
from other States, who have served as
mere machines in the hands of carpet
bag manipulators for imposing the taxes
so loudly and so justly complained of.

address of the State Executive
Committee.

The address, which has been elected
from the Executive Committee of the
Democratic and Conservative party, by
the extraordinary condition of affairs,
precipitated upon the State by the Radical
rulers and their blind and misguided
dupes, will be found in another column.
No comment upon this important
document is required. A simple reference
is all that is required to secure for it the
earnest attention which its importance
demands

A FIrsG-Rate Notice

The Radical Convention of 1873.
pledged its party to elect men of integrity
to Office. And to show the sincerity OF
its pledge, the same Convention nomi-
mated T. w. Cardozo for the responsible
Office of Superintendent of Public In
struction. The Grenada Republican, q
Radical official organ, says that i" he. is
stepped in infamy and covered with
" indictments enough to send him to the
+" Penitentiary for lifetime"

animated by the one sentiment, that there
can be no higher duty to discharge than

Of our beloved State, unless, perhaps it

won, for the common and equal good OF
all her people and to the injury of none.

Taxation Without Representa-
ItOm.

In the counties where the Radicals
have control, the taxpayers are represent
ed neither in the State Legislature nor
the county governments. Even A r.
Morgan, that evil genius of the State,
realized the injustice of this rule, and in
the last Radical Convention introduced
resolution declaring its injustice and
proposing that in the Republican counties
where the colored element predominates,
the conservatives, comprising the bulk of
the taxpayers, should be allowed the
privilege of electing a portion of the
Board of Supervisors. The resolution
was referred to the Platform Committee,
and never saw the light. 1t was an ad.
mission of great wrong inflicted by the
Radical rulers on the taxpayers and was
designed to apply partial remedy
Taxation without representation is un-
mitigated tyranny, and this is but one of
the many wrongs from which the bulk of
our taxpayers are suffering. They are
practically denied representation in the
government whose expenses they are
required to bear.
The Raymond Gazette has gathered
the following items from the tax books of
Kinds county, showing the amount of
taxes paid by the several members of the
Board of Supervisors of the county for
the voor 1874.

HORACE" the Vicksburg (Republi-

Commercial, reports Gov. Ames as hav-
ing said, in fit of disgust at the refusal
of the Administration to put U. S. troops
at his disposal for executing his partisan
and revengeful schemes, that I" the State
might go to the devil" Nobody has done
as much as Addlepate in putting it on
the road IN that direction.

Mississippi College and Central Female
Institute open their sessions to-day, but
the attendance for few days will be
small in view of the apprehension that
has existed of further trouble, consequent
upon rumors that Gov. Ames intended
sending some of his colored militia to that
point. On yesterday, however, Presi-
dent Webb, of the College, and DR. Hill
man, of the Institute, waited upon Gov
ernor Ames to ascertain the mind of His
Excellency on the subject, so that, if the
rumors were well founded, they might
notify the patrons of the schools accord
ingly. The Governor repeatedly assured
them that the militia would not be sent
to Clinton or its vicinity, and we there
fore recommend to the patrons of those
excellent schools to at once send their
sons and daughters, so that the classes
may be formed and the work of the ses-
sion effectively begun.

BR1G. GEN. GREY, the fool-hardy dark

instrument of Ames' vengeance for the
slaughter of men, women and children
in the river district, has been notified in
the politest but irmest manner by the
citizens of Washington county, that he
will have to desist from such talk. or
vacate the premises. 1t is rumored that
he has adopted the former course.

EDS. CLARION Can you furnish me
with copy of the financial statistics,
prepared by Gen. B. F. Butler, of Mas
sachusetts, wherein the financial status
of each State in the Union is given ?
You doubtless remember you published
fac sinaiie letter from Gen. Butler to Gov.
Powers which gave rise to some discus.
sion, but the letter from Gen. Butler to
his son-in-law dispelled any idea that it
il any way alluded to repudiated bonds.
The work is doubtless a valuable one
and will bear greatly on the currency
question.
