RIOT IN MISSISSIPPI.

There has been most disgraceful riot
and massacre in Mississippi. The COM
mencement of the trouble was at Clinton
last Saturday, where the marshal, color.
ed, attempted to prevent a couple of
young men from drinking a bottle OF
whisky because the laws Of that place
prohibited the sale ofintoxicating liquors.
A fight ensued in which the negroes killed
two or three whites. At once dispatches
we're sent to Vicksburg for assistance,
and companies Ofa-med men Immediately
Joined those of Clinton. Since that
time the civil government in one or two
counties has been overthrow and the
officers have had to flee for their lives;
labor on the plantations was suspended,
the negroes flying to tie woods and
swamps for fear of being murdered. How
many murders have been committed Is
not known, dead negroes are reported as
being found around pr0miscuously.
Ill AL dEtlClc VII tHiS hoSS<sSAS s"S
Leayenworth Commercial of the 9th inst.
says:
One more of those terrible massacres
has occurred at Clinton, Mississippi, ct
which humanity revoits. Once more
have the passions of men made brutes OF
them. Fiom all the information we can
grther, it was entirely unprovoked, cold
blooded and brutal. Much of it Is due
to the weakness, yes, inbecility of Gov.
Ames. He lacks decision; he lack vim;
he lacks brains; he lacks every quality
Of manhood which fit Il man for his place.
He is one of the atoms of the debris lett
in the State of Mississippi by the tiooas
of the rebellion. He neither commands
the, respect nor exercises = power in that
State which wnuld make a Governor re-
spectacle anywhere. If he d:'i, men
would fear him enough 10 prevent suc:,
Outrages.

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.

The Republicans Of New York held
their State Convention at Saratoga on
the Sth inst. Gsorgc Willia:a Curtis
was appointed chairman and a platform
adopted when the following ticket was
nominated: For Secretary of State,
Fred w. Seward; Comptroller, Gen. +.
E. Spinner; Attorney General, e. l..
Danforth; S.sts Engineer, II. P. Cor
nell; Canal Commissioner, VIM. Z. Tins
ley; State Prison Inspector, Rev. Is. +.
Ives. The platform adopted makes the
following declarations:
"The national government should re-
main in the hands of those who sustain
the guarantees of the amended const'tu.
ton in pursuance of the past action of
the Republican party and good results,
the welfare of the country requires a
lust, generous and forbearing national
policy in the Southern States; affirms a
refusal to use military power, except for
purposes clearly defined in the constitu-
ton local enforcement Of the national
authority by those only who are in SYM
pathy with such policy and will hear
tily support it; demands honest economy
and efficiency in every branch of the
State and National administrations {;
prompt investigation into all charges OF
wrong doing and summary exposure of
wrong doors heartily cOmmends the ac-
ton Of officers, whether of the State or
national government, in their honest en-
deavols for the correction of public abus-
es, and pledges them consistent and
faithful support further imitation of the
currency under any pretense whatever
would be public calamity the interests
of honest industry and our common well
fare demand the speediest possible return
to specie payment the whole subject Of
taxation ought to be carefully and wise
ly reviewed to the end that its burdens
should bear equally on all recognizing
as conclusive, the Presidents public dec
laration that he is not a candidate for
re nomination, and with the sincerest
gratitude for his patriotic services, we
declare our unalterable opposition to the
election of any President for third
term. The public school is bulwark
of the American Republic We therefore
demand an unqualified maintenance of
the public school system, and its support
by equal taxation. We are opposed to
all sectarian appropriations, and we de-
nounce Us enemies against liberty and
Republican institutions, any project for
a sectarian division or provision of the
school fund of the State. The national
administration by its steadfast fidelity to
the principles of commercial honor, by
its opposition to unsound fnanancial
projects, by its calm avoidance of a col
lision with foreign powers, by its reliance
on justice and reason rather than force,
in settlements of disputes, by its firm
vindication of national dignity and au-
thority, by rigidly executing the laws,
correcting retrenchment without boastful
ostentatious pretentions, deserves the
gratitude of the American people. and
adds a lustre to the service in the war of
the distinguished soldier and patriot who
stands at its head"

IT is rumored, and We hope it may
prove true, that the President in his
next annual message to Congress will
recommend the abolition of the Indian
bureau and the transfer to the war de-
partwent oil matters relating to the In
dams. Even if it could be established
that the Indian bureau has been honest
in all its dealings with the Indians we
believe the change would be good one.
The military has to be employed all over
the Indian country to preserve peace,
and the officers of the army could do all
the work of the Indian bureau and save
the expense of its officers. Life and
property on the frontier would be made
more secure aad the Indians would re.
ceive equally as good treatment.

he is ignorant in regard to the matter,

great damage was done to the crops in

The devastated area is not large, but it is
more disheartening to farmers to have
their grain destroyed after the labor Of
harvesting had been completed than if it
bad been done earlier in the season.

New Orleans and Liverpool-A Proposed
Steamship Line.

The general managers of the Illinois Cen
trail and the New Orleans, St. Louis and
Chicago railroads are just now negotiating
with various parties for the purpose of e g.
tablishing steamship line between New
Orleans and Liverpool. Since the connec-
ton between the Mississippi Central and
the Illinois Central has been made at Cairo,
the business between this city and New
Orleans has largely increased, and it is be-
lleved that, with the proper arrangements,
the new line may successfully compete with
the Eastern lines for the European traffic.
The argument is that in handling
grain with proper arrangements ship
menss may be made by this reute
at great saving to the prod ucers in
the cost Of handling and transportation.
BY connecting the Jackson road with the
river at the elevator, rail cargoes can be
received and transferred in bulk to Liver
pool steamers, and thus save to shippers at
least three landings, to which expense
they are now subjected on the lake and on
canal routes to the East. During the winter
TINS line IS able to carry grain at much
it never suffers from the cold, as other
roads do, and at the same time brings back
Southern products Of all kinds for this
market.
Negotiations are also pending between
the managers of tire Illinois Central and
tno New orleans, st. Louis and Chicago
railroads. to have the passenger rates be-
tween this city and New Orleans lowered.
At present it costs $33 to go from
this city to New Orleans. while the
rate from here to New York is but

same OF course i: costs the road more
to carry passengers to New Orleans than
New York, because the traffic is not so
heavy. still it is believe that, by making

will largely increase, and thus make up for
the loss resulting from a reduction of fare.
