THE OFFICE OF TAXI oLLEcroR.-Whst
do the people of tho white counties think
of the bill to rob them Of tn right to Sc
lect their own Tax-collectors? The object
Ut the law is to create offices for Ames'
.HeDchmen. who would other wise be oui
Of employ ment. and to give them the
handling of the money bags. We would
suggest to the Taxpayers Leagues to STE
that they make good bonds, and in default
to combine as Q body. and refuse to pay
over the levies. In their dealings with
~rapacious bioodsuckers, whose only object
is to consume their earnings they are n
titled to all the protection which the law
will afford. -Clarion.
What do we think of il! Why, that
it is OILY q part Of The scheme which
tho carpet>baggers have long been
pursuing, 10 enrich themselves by rob-
bling and plundering the people Of the
State. This they have been doing in
a general way for a long time, but the
attack they make now is directly on
the individual. They operate on the
tenderest nerve he possessss-the
pocket nerve, and we imagine these
appointed tax-collectors will be re-
in the same light. that the
English tax -collector was, 10 old
times, by the poor. down-trodden Irish
peasantrv, and if 30, their paths will
not be wn with roses. A man
acceptable to the people of the county
be appointed, but this is not
probable, and we, in nj county, know
what appointments HAVE been made
there is no need Of mentioning names
and such y prospect is not pleasant
to contemplate.

Sensible Talk.
The Vicksbug Monitor says

The Vicksburg Monitor says:
The people Of this state, for the
next year or two, must work, politi-
cally, az they never did before. We
know there are some, most Of whom
are roofing around and nosing about
for the Radical acorn, who preach up
the ripe pear policy. They say, all
we have to do is to wait and he quiet,
and that the ripe pear of political sue.
coss will fall plump into q mouths.
They deceive themselves. Those who
succeed, work for success. The PEG
pie Of the North are doubtless very
anxious 10 overturn the Radical des,
potism and they are, therefore, very
anxious we should help them all we
possibly can. We should combine
and work as Den ought 10 work, who
are determined to force success. But
there is a greater reason still. The
Democrats Of the North cannot carry
a Mississippi election. Tho people Of
Mississippi have to perform that little
job. And they a do it if they will.
Tie question is will they do it?
There is m class that will not do
it, sure. That is the class that do not
make the attempt. They argue that
if Massachusetts only goes Democratic
a couple Of more times, it will alb,
squatula e Ames and Company. We
can't see it In those lamps. If I'VE are
ever to get rid of the Radicals, we
must roll more votes than they do,
and poll them right here in Mississip-
pi. What Massachusetts does, will
not help US unless we help ourselves.
What the North does. only gives us
the opportunity to force the RAIDS TO
step down and out. If a sufficient
number of Northern states 90 Demo-
cratic, to force the United States Gov.
eminent to give us fair play under the
reconstruction acts. ii is all we q
expect FROM that source. The balance
we must accomplis ourselves, and the
~ripc.pear theory won't win. Neither
will the compromise sugar-plu theory
accomplish any exaggerated results.

able Social Rights Bill. So much for

the annually decreasing fall OF snow
