Things are getting into such condi-
ton in Mississippi that we may soon ex-
pect to see an advertisement in words
like the following posted on the blank
strayed-the Governor of Mississippi
He left jackson, the capital, about the
close of April. Amy information con-
corning him would be thankfully received
by the honest people of Mississippi be-
fore his substitute, the negro Lieutenant
Governor, pardons all the murderers and
burglars and effects general Jail deliv-
cry" A. K. Davis, the acting Govern
or Of Mississippi, is a negro. The color
of his skin would make no difference if
he were honest and wise. But he is
neither, and he is pursuing a course dur
ing his tenure of office which makes his
rule not only odious, but dangerous to So
ciety. 1t is time for Governor Ames to
take the reins in his own hands. He, at
least, has some character to lose.
The foregoing in from the New York
Herald, and shows what comes of elect
ing Massachusetts, man to the office of
Governor of Mississippi. 1t is unprece-
dented, IN this, or any other well regula-
ted States, to perform the duties OF
the Executive office by proxy. Be-
fore the carpet-bag regime, there was no
such officer in this State as 1t. Governor.
1t well understood that man who sought
the office and was elected, took upon him
self the obligation to remain in it and
perform its duties.
In this particular instance, as between
Ames and Davis, the opinion of the most
capable judges is that Davis is the better
better man of the two. 1t is believed that
Ames has purposely turned over the Office
to Davis at times that he might do
absurd and reprehensible acts from
the preparation of which he himself
would recoil, but which he does not OBJ
ject to witness the performance of by
another. This conclusion is unavoidable
from the frequency with which he has
turned over the office to Davis after re-
peated exam piles of his total unfitness for
it. and his habitual illustration of the
old adage, put a beggar on horseback
and he will ride the horse to death.
Touching the merits of the two men,
this may be said, that even if Davis is
guilty of the charges which have been
brought against him, they fall immeas-
alueably below the crimes Of Ames
against the peace and dignity of the
State. The attempt of Ames to corrupt
the Judiciary Department by the en-
ployment of Executive patronage, as in
the case of Judge Peyton when he was
rebuked into silence by the Chief JUS
tioe; and his plot to bring on war Of
races in Warren county, which resulted
in the killing of number of deluded
and vicious negroes-will be remembered
with loathing and disgust when the par
don of Barrentine, infamous as it was,
will have been forgotten.

Capt. w. #. Fitzgerald

Capt. w. F. Fitzgerald, the present
efficient District Attorney and RePubli-
can candidate for denomination, is repre-
sented to have made bitter speech
against the white people" at late meet
ing. We do not credit the rumor. he
may have been hard upon the noisy class
who have occupied themselves in keeping
alive the annimosities of the war since Its
close and thus played into the hands OF
the carpet baggers in stirring up strife;
but that he has denounced the entire
white people we are not prepared to he-
lieve He was born and raised In THIS
town. We have known him from his child
hood and we know him to be brave,
high-souled gentleman, who enlisted as
a Southern soldier when boy and fought
to the end of the war. At the beginning
of the reconstruction agitation he was a
Conservative, and has remained so. We
are sorry he cannot see his way clear to

political difference can induce us to de-

integrity, and his unquestioned capacity

MUNICIPAL ELECTIoNs.-The Demo-
Gratis carried their ticket in the town of
Okolona by handsome majority.
Per contrG--the Republicans carried
theirs i'll the recent Oxford election.
The Falcon thus accounts for this last
result:
Why were we beaten? For two
reasons: LIST, Because so many Of our
citizens were from home. there being at
least twenty absent from the 18th ward.
ed, Because good men-men who
are true Democrats-allowed their names
to be used on the Radical ticket, and thus
their influence was given in favor of the
Radicals.

HE Senate Resolution PrOVidinS
for Biennial Sessions of
the LeSislaIure--AiII
i'm the House.

This resolution was an amendment to
the Constitution, which had to be read
three several days in each house, and
passed at each reading by two-thirds
vote, before it could be submitted to the
people at the next general election for
ratification or rejection. The negro color
liners in the Legislature were determined
that the people should not have the priv
ilege of expressing their wishes upon it al
the ballot-box 1t passed the Senate
early in the session, and here is what
took place in the House on January Goth:
The Senate Joint Resolution providing
for biennial sessions of the Legislature
was taken up and lost on its first reading,
not having the constitutional two-thirds
majority; yeas 50, nays %. Among the
yeas were all the Conservatives and
Messrs. Avery, Bufkin, Chamberlin,
Cowart, Chandler, Feemster, Ford, Fox
worth, French, Gill, Handy, (col. Hicks,
(col. Haste, johnson, (col.) of DeSoto,
Mccain, (col. Mosely, (col. McNeese,
(col. Peal, (col.) Peyton, Rogers, (col. }
Vi hdIsHdll, hiCudTuS VI dAOO, onaJ'
tuck, Stephens, Spellman, (col.) Sullivan,
Tate, Williams, (col all the white
Republicans and ten colored. Those vot-
ing against the resolution, all colored, were
Brunt, Boyd of Oktibbeha, Boyd of va
zoo, Boyd of Warren, Caradine, Cessor,
Christmas, Cotton Clements, Chiles, Cha
Wis, Green, Gayles, Harris, Landers,
Monroe, Matthews, Patterson, Randolph,
Richards of Lowndes, Smith of Tunica,
Smothers, Sykes. Truehart, Thompson
of Lowndes, Wilbourne, White and
| Washington.
By this vote twenty-eight negroes, pro
badly not paying five hundred dollars
tax altogether, defeated a proposition
which would have lifted burthen of over
$500, 900 per annum from the shoulders
of the taxpayers. To the ten colored
men who withstood the color line pressure
credit is due and we cheerfully give it.
ANOTHER VOTE ON THE SAME REsoLU-
TIoN,
On the twenty fourth day of the session,
(Feb. 1st.)
Harris (col) moved to reconsider the
vote whereby the Senate biennial session
resolution failed TO pass (two-thirds vote
required.) All the white members and
Boyd of Warren, Handy, Harris, John
son of DeSoto, Jones, McNeese, Peal,
Smith of Tunica, and SpeIlman-nine
colored voted yea, but the resolution was
killed by the following named negroes
who stood BY the color hne-twenty-six
in number:

What Pease said 10 the COIOred
People.
greet you

From The Plaindealer, edited bv col
ored Republicans, and the recognized
organ of the Republican masses, states
that two Radical caucuses have been re-
Gently held at jackson, and astounds us
by saying that Pease boosted that he
was white" man, and gave the color
eds to understand that he intended to
claim ''white mans privilege in the
distribution of the spoils. This latter
fact We never doubted, but we did think
that it was the sorrow of his life that he
was not born a darkey. Here is what he
said
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-08-11
+" COUNT ME OUT. :"

Two very important caucuses of Re.
publicans were held in jackson. on
Thursday and Friday nights, and sug.
gestive speeches were made by many
persons. Mr.. Post Master Pease, of
this city, spoke at both meetings, and
took particular pains to tell every colored
man present that he was white; that he
was of the Caucasian race, and that he
was proud of it. We have never heard
colored person doubt the identity OF
the Post Master, though we believe we
have frequently heard Frantz, and few
other bad Democrats say they doubted
his full identity with the Caucasian.fam-
lily. In addition to the above, Mr.. Pease
distinctly told the colored men present
that his race had all the intelligence, and
the moment they attempt TO give a col
ored man the preference to white man,
that moment, said he, you may 8. COUNT
NE OUT"
Now this was plucky for Pease, all
things considered. The colored Repub-
licans' organ reminds him that but for
eolored votes he would have been nothing:
that they breathed political life into him:
and it seorches him wrathfully for his
turbulence. 1t is the old saying over
again of the axe boasting itself against
him who yields it, and of the saw exalt-
ing itself against him who shaketh it.
