The Truce In, sEississipDf.

MEMPHIS, Oct. 19.--In the So
called treaty of peace between Gov.
Ames and the democratic state exc
cutive committee at jackson, Miss.
whereby the militia was disbanded,
the committee assured the governor
that there was no other desire among
the whites than that peace should be-
preserved, the laws enforced, and q
fair election had, and the leading
whites would do all in their powertO
this end. The governor responded
that in view OF this assurance he
would meet their views as far as pos
sible, and would order all the militia
companies to dispense and return to
their homes. 1t was agreed that the
arms of these companies should be
deposited in the depots in the neigh
horhood in which the companies were
raised and be guarded by the United
States troops, and be removed only
by order of the governor. The arms
would not be delivered to the militia
except in case of riot or insurrection
which could not be suppressed by the
civil authorities.

JOURNALISTIC

That was q serious and sever ar
raignment of the Bulletin and Call
brought out the other day by the
Chronicle. The facts are these: The
Chronicle alleged that the Bulletin and
Call had in 1870 formed a copartner-
ship with the manufacturer of u dan
gerous quack nostrum, known as
Choral Hydrate, and that for a half
interest in the profits arising from the
sale OF the poisonous drug had con-
tracted to do 5000 worth Of putting
and advertising in order to bring it
prominently before the public. The
Chronicle backed up its allegation with
. fac simiie Of the contract and Alto
gether made out . very complete case.
The Bulletin and Call, in reply, as
sumo to treat the matter lightly and
both seek to dodge the main issue in
piteous walls about Dolly Warden
purity, and the great danger Of the
whole municipal government being
swallowed up at the approaching cleo
ton by imaginary rings. This defense
may satisfy the average San Francis
can, but with people who breathe the
pure atmosphere Of the mountains it
will hardly 20 down. Whatever may
be the real merits Of the controversy,
however, w think that all must agree
that the Chroaicle has ct least succeed
