A CHILD LOST AND FoUND.-Ons of the
most exciting events Of the past week was the
loss and recovery of the infant son of Mr.. A. F.
Calvert, who lives in the neighborhood of the
Buzzard Roost, in Abbeville county. At five
o'clock on Monday evening, the 1st inst, the
little fellow, named Jesse Leonard and aged two
wears, left home as it afterwards appeared, in
pursuit of an older brother who had gone to
neighbors, and missing the road become lost
in the woods. He was soon missed, and tho
neighbors for miles around joined in pursuit.
Night came on and the rain fell in torrents, but
the search was kept up unremittingly in the
darkness until the day dawned, and yet without
success. About six o'clock the next morning
one of the party heard a cry in answer to his
call. and following up the sound found the lit
tie fellow sitting on rail in the woods, about
one and half miles from home, drenched to
the skin, and with few scratches, but other
wise sound in body and limb AS may be i'm
apined there was great rejoicing over the re-
covery of the little wanderer, and the enthusi-
asm of success was proportioned to the intense
anxiety which characterized the search. Be-
tween seventy-fve and one hundred persons
had Joined the searching party, and foremost
among these were both mother and father. We
extend our sincere congratulations to the tortu-
nate parents. Mr.. Calvert is one of our best
citizens, and deserves success IN whatever he
undertakes.-Pfess and Banner.

Convict Labor.

If the State penitontiary continues to add tc
ito numbers during the next six months at the
rate at which it has increased during the past
three, its population will be something over
three hundred. The appropriation is based
upon an average of only two hundred, and it is
almost certain that the institution will have
either to 30 in debt again, or there must be
found some means by which the labor of the
conyicts can be made profitable, or at least con-
tribute to the support of the institution.

RESPONSIBILITIES Of an Editor.

Very few of those who, from week to week or
day to day, read the newspapers have any idea
of the labor and responsibility attached to the
position of an editor. They take up a newspa-
per and expect to find in it such mental pabu-
lum as suits themselves, without rejecting, fox
a moment, that there are other tastes in the
world besides their own to be consulted. Some
men take upthe idea that for the amount of their
subscription they acquire the right to criticise,
and even condemn the paper they have favored
with their august patronage. Such men would
have the editor, before he inserts any
article carry his proofs around, and ask
to have it appear. And not even content With
this, they would have the editor publish only.

One man would have his paper filled with
leaders on the political statue Of the country

journals of the land. On the weak stomachs of
some, anything that smacks of sensation can
not be tolerated his sensitive nerves cannot
bear the rude shock that would follow the re-
hearsal of such thing as the Beecher-Tilton

such stuff would be the very essence of perfec-
ton.
To publish something suited to the masses,
whom it is his duty, and we might say priv.

irreconcilable elements, to have matter in his

The Ticksburg Troubles.

The minority report of the Mississippi Inves-
tigating Committee contains the most striking
revelations yet made of the corrupt and de, as
tating rule of the Radical party. The conclu-
sions reached by the minority expose the utter
ruin of business interests and the oppressive
nature of military rule at Vicksburg, where
their Investigations were chiefly confined. We
will give few facts, which are culled from this
straightforward review of the testimony, to
show the magnitude of the evils under which
the whites suffered, until forbearance ceased to
be virtue, and they were compelled to. take
up arms in defence of their homes and fami-
lies:
|, The white citizens of Vicksburg pay ninety
nine per cent. of the taxes, and the negroes
chiefly assess, collect and disbnrse the enor-
nous levies.
In 1869, the debt of the city was $4,000;
under reckless and improvident officials, it has
grown to 81, 400 900, so far as can be ascertaned
and is a grievous burden upon population OF
eleven thousand people, not one-half OF whom
are whites.
An infamous ring of negro officials, by forge
ries, peculation and systematic frauds on the
revenues have injured the public credit, impov-
erished the people and augmented taxation to
an extent of practical confscation.
The conflict Of Dec. 9TH, resulting In the Kill
ling of two whites and twenty -four blacks, was
solely caused by an attempted invasion Of
Vicksburg by armed negroes, who were advised,
encouraged and promised aid by Governor
Ames The city w.s defended under the May
ors direction, and the sitizens were justified BY

in defence of their families and homes. A

SINKING FUND.

This fund consists OF the excess OF specifi,
taxes, after the payment OF the interest ON
the public debt and trust funds in accordance
with section /, article XIV, OF the Constitu-
ton, which is as follows: "Au specific State
taxes, except those received from the mining
companies OF the upper peninsula. shall be
applied in paving the interest and principal
of the State debt, in the order herein rected,
until the extinguishment OF the State debt
other than the amounts due to educational
funds, when such specific taxes shall be added
to and constitute part OF the primary school
interest fund" And also tho proc seds OF
tho sales of Primary school, Normal school,
and University lands, under the provisions OF
section 4l3, OF the Compiled Laws. In addi-
ton to the receipts from these sources, there
has been placed to the credit of this fund,
1866 S2S.40 received from the general govern
ment for reimbursements OF war expenses. and
the further sum of 5000, 900 transferred from
the general fund by authority of joint reso-
luton OF the Legislature in 1869. While the
propriety Of the action of the Legislature, or
Of the heads of departments in placing these
two amounts in this fund at the time need
not be questioned, the presen. condition Of
the fund, owing to the large increase in re-
ceipts from specific taxes. and the rapid
diminution of the public debt, shows very
clearly that there is no necessity for longer
retaining them there. However large the
amount may be in the sinking fund, so long
as ii is derived from sources provided by the
Constitution not penny Of ii can be di-
verted for any other purpose; but the right
and power of the Legislature by proper en-
actment TO transfer these two items from this
fund to the general fund cannot be doubted.
SO believing, 1 recommend such legislation.
The present balance in the sinking fund is
1868, 1888. Should the transfer be made,
the balance remaining as of Sept. 30, 1874
would be S97 .0S7.93. The following table of
estimated receipts and expenditures OF this
fund show that after such transfer, by the
year 1882, the whole bonded debt will have
been provided for. These estimates are
made upon the basis of the receipts and ex-
penditures of the past two years. In this
table it will be observed, that no estimate is
made of any receipts from the sale of lands,
and the results attained show very conclu-
sively that there is no further necessity for
these receipts being placed in this fund, and
1 therefore recommend that the law bo
amended, placing the receipts from the sale
of lands in the general fund.

In addition to the above, 40 239 acres have
been selected to fill q deficiency in the
Primary School grant, but the patents have
not been received from the general govern
ment. Selections Of swamp lands amounting
to 9, 1868 acres have been approved, but are
not yet patented. Owing to the low price of
swamp land warrants but few contracts for
building swamp land roads and bitches have
been let; still, the swamp lands are being
slowly swallowed up in this work. During
the past two years 297a miles OF swamp land
reads and bitches have been constructed at a
cost Of 54l4.304. SO, payable in swamp lands,
of which 1873 miles were in the Lower and
10 miles in the Upper Peninsula.
There remains under contract 6S miles.
Since the construction and supervision OF
these roads by the Board Of Control, and q @
Swamp Land Commissioners acting under
them, their character has greatly improved
and they have been economically constructed
The construction of State roads has decreased
to such an extent that there is no longer a
necessity for the three Commissioners, and /
recommend that the law be changed, reducing
tho number to two or perhaps one. The ac-
ton OF the Legislature OF 1878, increasing
the cash payments on school lands, and re-
curing stringent sflldavits az to timber, has
effectually cut of any frauds in this direction
for the future. The large list of forfeited
lands above given, show to how great an ex-
tent the State has been defrauded in the
past.
Trespassers seem TO mark these part-paid
lands, and lands bid in by the State for taxes,
as their own. The Commissioner has given
especial attention TO trespassors during the
past year, the agent appointed by him having
collected and paid into the Treasury IN cash
