REDEEMED MISSISSIPPI.
Comments on the Northern Press ON the
Result OF the Election in Mississippi.

The redemption uf Mississippi from
the rule Of vice and ignorance i a cause
for great rejoicing by those who have
the prosperity Of the whole country At
heart. This great State, 80 rich in ma
tural resources. has been pillaged for
years by thieves of the most degraded
character. and it, best people have been
AT the absolute mercy of the most vicious
Of it, population. The Northern public
have not generally appreciated the ex-
tent of the stealing which has been 90
ing on there, for the reason that it, state
debt. about 100000, j. small com
pared with that of other States which
have been raided by the carpet-baggers
vet there i none Of the reconstructed
States in which the condition of the
whites has been more pitiable. A pro-
vision Of the Constitution prohibiting
any increase Of the State debt has re-
strained the hands of the robbers in
that direction; but they have amply
made up for this by the enormous eNac-
tons, extortions, and populations which
have been accomplished by county and
municipal officers. who have been com
posed almost entirely from the dregs Of
the worst class of vicious negroes and
their white confederates. We have 50
often published detailed accounts of the
rascalities of these fellows, and Of the
oyerpOwering wrongs inflictedupon the
taxpayers, that every regular reader Of
the Sun must be familiar with the
condition of Mississippi affairs. But
now, at last, the cheering news
has come that in a most quiet election
the Democrats have carried the State
by a sweeping majority, and that. too,
when the colOred vote Out-numberS the
white by about thirty thousand. There
is lesson 10 be learned 10y the people
Of South Carolina and Louisiana from
the recent Mississippi canvass. lts
splendid results are due 10 the judicious
course pursued by the great majority Of
the white property holders, and by the
most distinguished leaders Of the Dem
ocratic party. Wisely refusing 10 en-
ter into any degrading compromise.
either with corrupt negro politicians or
their still more corrupt white leaders,
the most influential citizens in every
part of the State sought out the best
class Of sober. Industrious colored men,
reasoned with them, convinced thcm
that all the tales about remanding them
TO slavery in case Of Democratic success
were false, showed them the villainy Of
the thieves who had controlled their
votes, and convinced them that there
was no possible reason for any animos-
itv between races whose interests in the
commonwealth were identical. The inn
mediate consequences were cessation
OF race disturbances and the appear
ance of hundreds OF the most reputable
culored voters in Democratic political
processionS-the ultimate result, the
freedom of the State from the rule Of
roguerS, and an enormous appreciation
in the value of every acre OF it, rich
lands. Mississippi gained a new lease
Of life through the wise policy which
eliminated in the vote Of Tuesday.
