The Chicago Tribune, Qiep.) in an
editorial of great weight and promi-
nencc, demands the recall of Minister
Schenck. Says the Tribune: Te-
"rhis final exposure of the Emma
Mine scandal leaves the President no
alternative but to recall Gen. Schenck
from England at least that is the view
the country will take OF it. The ru-
nors that have prevailed heretofore
were really sufficient to warrant this
course, but now that the facts are as
certaimed, Schenck's recall is impera-
tive. He has disgraced the American
Government and American people as
long as he should be permitted to do
50. The American Government can
not wipe out the personal and official
dieerace which Gen. Schen0s has
DrOuy Int upon himself and the hig h
position he holds, but it can free itself
and the American people from all re-
sponsibility for it by his immediate
dismissal. Gen. Schenck may or may
not have believed that the Emma Mine
was a reality, and would yield the
enormous profits promised; that does
not now enter into the question, He
nad no rlSnG Oh any tefHls, Wnlle ACT
ing as the American representative at
great Court, to permit the use of his
name to promote any speculative
scheme He had no right as an hon
orable man under any circumstances
to accept bribe for the use of his
name, nor to secretly acquire advan-
tages over other shareholders when he
led them to believe that he invested
mis- money OH equal terms. The facl
being admitted that Gen. Schenck re-
cciyed ElO,OOO in money to invest in
Emma Mine, which was given to him
by the projectors of the scheme for the
use of his name as a stakeholder and
Director, with a guarantee of Is per
cent. interest, we can conceive of ne
extenuating circumstance that will
warrant his continuance i'll Office"

The following which we take from
the Jackson Clarion, occurred in the
Lower House Of the Legislature last
Saturday, the 20th inst.
The Metropolitan Police Bill came
up rs unfinished business. The mo-
ton was made to put the bill on
its passage the yeas and nays were
called for; Mr.. TIson called for the
reading of the Til with amendments
before be concluded, the clerk be
gan to call the roll. The Speaker
decided that pending roll-ca!l moth
ing else was in order. Mr.. Street
made the point of or,lor that the
call for the reading was made be
fore the clerk had begun TO call the
roll. The Speaker ordered the
roll-call to continue. This created
great confusion, particularly among
the Democrats and Conservatives,
they insisting that they had made
the call for the reading in the prop
er time. The Speaker Informed Mr..
Tison that the amendments were
not in the House, but with the Jour
nal at the Pilot Office. Mr.. Tison
made the point that the bill was not
then before the House. The speak
CIR decided that the member knew
that the amendments were not here
when he made the call, and order
cd the calling of the roll continued
The Clerk proceeded, amid cries OF
#" Call the roll" "Cail the roll,
0Read tic BILL" "Read the bill' and
81 make the point, Sir" etc, during
which time Mr.. Street walked t,
the desk, took from the hand, OF
the Clerk the roll and tore it up
General uproar, everybody includ
ing pages and porters, on their feet
The Speaker ordered the Clerk
again 10 begin the roll-call. This
being done, general calls were maIe
for the Democrats and Conservatives
to leave the House, hich they did
except Mr. benson, who remained
and interrupted the roll call and in
sisted that the minority had right'
that should be respected. The
Speaker recons,dered his decision
The boiling members were invited
hack. The bill was ordered read
and passed in due form.

The Standing Army Bill.

This scheme has passed both
Houses. Its Object is To organize a
race war, to desperate the whites,
force them into conflict with the
blacks, and furnish Il prctsxt for
the interference OF federal troop ,
with the double motive of main-
tanning Rad cal ascendency in the
stare and manufacturing capital FOR
Radical use in the Presidential cleo
ton, ut a fearful cost to the rcace
and treasure of people already
worn down by long protractcd and
We iatious controversy aud intolcra-
bic tax lcvies. To execute tins sys-
TEN the reliance of its concoctors is
solely on the blacks. May we not
hope that taught by experience and
the danger of following false lights
they will refuse either to be dra
gooned, or enticed into this cxccra
BILE service?

Let rybody look out for w.
Ben Cunningham's charge to the
Grand Jury next Monday. OF course
no one will expect very scholarly
thing, because such 6 thing would
as i'll fit the Judge (D as to give
him credit for being fourth-rate
lawyer. But then Ben is going to
charge that grand jury to do things
that in his heart he knows it is not
g ling to do. That grand jury, with
tie inevitable, habitual Smith as
one ofits leading spirits and shining
lights, is not going to do anything
that will in the least injure one oil
the faithful.
w. Ben knows, too, that if it were
possible for that grand jury to get
it into its head that it is not a polit.
ical organization, and that it is an
institution organized for the pro-
lection of the whole people, to look
after their rights, and into all VIC
lations of law, peace and order, he
tho redoubtable Ben, would be
among the first violators of the law
indicted.

The Chicago Tribune (Admin;s-

article deprccating the introduction
of this measure by It's party leaders,
with the following sentence
The prevailing anxiety among
the Republicans of the country is
that. during the few remaining days
of the present session, Congress Will
rass.out of the control OF the cool
and temperate men, and IN lew
hours OF madness enact a series OF
unfortunate acts that will have the
effect of completing the discomti-
turc which overlook the Republic

ocraiic leaders the preparation OF
bills intended to destroy the Rcpub-
lican party and give the Democrats
all the political capital they need,
they could not have concociod mca-
surcs better adapted for that pur-
pose than those already presented
to Congress and urged is purely
Republican measures

THE METROPOLITAN POLICE
BILL.

This ne plus ultra outrage upon
the people of Mississippi, but more
especially of Warren county, passed

on Saturday last. 1t is the crown

Warren county and the city of
yicksburg and to tcrrify the people
of the whole state. 1t confcrs pow
ers upon the Governor to est b isl
his armed police in any county IN

blow at civil law, and undertakes
the enforcement by aid of military
force, of processes that belong alone
to civil government. 1t is burden
some to the taxpayers of that coun-
ty; humiliating TO their pride and
Obstructive to their commercial and
and material interests.
