Taxing the P<nnfIess TO Make

The recommendation of Gov. Ames, il
his annual message advising the Legis
Iature to make an appropriation of some
seven thousand dollars to repay the fed
eral government .or the supplies fur
nlshed Mississippi sufferers by the spring
Hoods, we think is untimely. The Pilot,
IN an earnest editorial, commends
the measure, and urges upon the Legis-
lature the proprieF of making such an
appropriation. We take issue with it.
We believe such action to be entirely un-
called for and unvise. Columbus Press,

Tine Proposed estate Police.

We have said that we do not believe
if a law was passed to saddle the tax-pay
ers with the expenseof a Estate Police,
Gov. Ames could organize force under
it. The white citizens, to man, would
contemn such a measure and feel them
selves disgraced to be enrolled in SER
vice so despicable; and the blacks would
have nothing to do with it. lie might
import roughs if the provand was sufh-
cient, but this would not compensate for
the disagreeabIe nature Of the service.
But suppose he should succeed IN
passing the measure and enlisting his
train-band, what would he accomplish
except the infamy it would bring on his
Administration and the discord it would
produce? Where is the necessity for 1t
He does not pretend to say that IN all
this State there is more than one commu-
nifty Warren County, in which there
has been a race trouble, if we except the
Tunica mob of negroes to punish white
man who had been released from prison
on bail by Republican Judge; and that
was promptly squelched.
The trouble in Vicksburg, therefore,
is the only exception to the prevalence
of peace and order throughout all the
State and that trouble has passed away.
The insurgents dispersed Immediately
after they had repealed Crosby's invaders
and secured protection to their tiresldes.
Everything is serene in the Hill City.
The negroes remembering the lesson OF
Crosby's fooIshness, and Ames' treach-
cry in not furnishing the 'backing"
after he had promised it, will not repeat
their experiment, and the white leaguers
are certain not to modest them. In fact,
after the storm, sunshine has come, and
a better feeling exists between the races
in Warren county than has existed for
years. They understand each other.
But if all this was not true, Ames knows
that peace has been amply secured by
the presence of federal troops in
Vicksburg only place in the State
where, by the utmost stretch OF his i'm
agination, he can suppose there is danger
of disturbance. Thus fortified, what
need has he for estate Police" Why
not let Uncle Sam, who has troops in the
field already equipped, keep the peace
without imposing all this expense on an
impoverished and over-taxed people,
to say nothing of the insult and menance
implied in such measure and its provo
cation to violence and bloodshed where
order and good feeling now prevail?
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1875-01-18

Gov. AMEs, (who wo uld not say tina
he did not make his Investment of a res
dencc in Natchez with reference to his
political prospects,) testified before the
Congressional Committee that he "pays
"more taxes than great many men who
care ho,oLing about high taxes" How
does he know? He could not tell precise
ly how much he pays, whether $40, $50,
or 800. But does not this fling at the
bowling taxpayers" come with bad
taste from man who enjoys in salary,
perquisites, and contingents not less than
SO, 900 of their money?

first two Republicans, and the last a

Congress triumphantly indicating the
Conservatives of Louisiana and placing
the blame of the troubles of that State on
the Kellogg usurpers. Their report
covers the whole ground, They refute
the charges of intimidation of voters
alleged against the Conservatives, and
condemn the action of the Returning
