EHE BOUNTY JOB.

The severest structures that couid
be passed upon the Republican ma
jority N the Forty Third Congress,
says the New York World, or its rech-
less neglect of public business and its
close attention to political Legislation
during the greater part Of the last
month of its last session, are contained
III the brief history Of the Bounty bill
which, after being tossed about be-
tween the demagogues and trick5.ers
OF the two Houses, escaped enactment
into law by the nereet accident. b,
reference TO our money article this
morning it will be seen that this scau-
dalous bill, acc )rding to the estimates
Of competent experts, proposed to leg
islate out OF al almost bankrupt Treas
ury over $3.50, 100000 for the sub
stantial benefit of nobody under heaven
but of gushing statesmen like Wilson
aud Logan and of very business-like
ring of claim agents who are accu,
toned to use gushing and demagogut
statesmen for their own pecuniary
gain. The Republication" of soldiers
Oountles provided for in the bill had
neither patriotism, justice nor com
mon sense TO reccomend it. It was
merely a cheap fraud 10 commit the
government to the payment of bouu-
ties which it found unnecessary to pay
when soldiers were most urgently
wanted and which in most instances
| had been paid by the several STATE
governments. The measure was COL
cocted by the claim agents, who
Eouid have been enormously enriched
| by its enact nGut into law, while not
one soldier IN fse Of those f,I
whose pretended benefit It was de-
vsed and passed by both Houses ii
congress would have derived al V

| 5:uy the most denagogu@ry about !,
viHie loading It down with the most
obnoxious provisions which woui0
throw the "responsi ,ility" fer rejee t.
lng il on the other House. ADG,
suough neither House wanted TO as
,ume the responsibility Cor so heavy a
| raid upon the Treasury, neither House
was bold enough to reject the bill
The Senate was surprised to fiud that
he Honse could not be "bluffed'
| by its bold amendments, and at tie
last moment tabled the bill to get rid
Of it, though it came back from
the conference exactly in tie
shape wherein the Senate had passed
| It a snort while before. Then came Mr.
Logan and Mr.. Spencer, the Carpet
banging Senator from Alabama wine
owes his seat in the Senate to the At
50rney-GenerGps good Offices IN hell
'cg TO organize the Alabama Legis a
-ure two years ago, and with their

| md signed by the facile Wilson, and
| then hustled it off in hot haste for the
signature of Grant. But happily GRAFT
was III sour mood towards the party
| and the pestiferous man who is always
boring him about the party" The
results which would have come to the
public credit from the passage of the
bill into law may be inferred from tn.

Thursday followed she announcement
that the bill had become law.

The officials in Mississippi are gen
tIemen of a rather careless and
naughty temperament. They serve
the people of that commonwealth as
a mere matter of condescentlon, and
not because they deem the field al
forded for the exercise of their talents
a suitable one. His high mightiness
Adelbert Ames has declared that he
would not live IN Mississippi an hour
if his duties as Governor did not com
pei him to remain among the poor
creatures over whom he is set as sat
rap. The son-in-law of Ben. Butler
doubtless looks upon his position III
rebel State somewhat as an En-
gIish noble would regard the
governorship of some distant British
colony With colored population and
tropical climate. An Executive
whose heart is in his work to that eX-
tent, and no more, cannot expect to
make remarkably approprite selections
for subordinate positions. The hauSh-
~ Adeibert, therefore, CHOOSES gay
and fe-tive officials, who look upo
tA6.r Duties with the same lofty scOrn
as him5 II. He has recently made a
new Judge. He used & man named
Clarence Cul.cus for the purpose,
and Clarence, VINO is the new
charcelior Of tle CoGiutn distr CT, has,

riaIOK =. ID. POISSON.

It gives us pleasure to see that the
unanswerable point raised by Major
e.. D. Poisson in his able speech at
the Mass Meeting last week was the
one chiefly relied upon by our counsel
in the recent injunction case before
Judge Bond, and upon which he re
fused to interfere with the election.
We came away from the meeting much
impressed with the force of Maj
Poisson's Argument, and we are glad
to know his views, SO clearly demon
strated and SO forcibIy presented,
have received such effective endorse
ment.
And, too, if bis remarks upon the
necessity Of party discipline and &
strict adherence to principle could i'm
press themselves upon the minds and
control the action of our people it
would be much better for US. Now
that Judge Bond no longer SHAKES
s'the flag" threateningly at US we may
more calmly review the situation aud
act for our best interests without the
fear of outside influences.
We exceedingly rejoice in the pros
pect now held out to us of soon pass
ing under a government controlled by
nine men selected by the white people
of this city.

TIE .0UTa AND THE UNION.

We are uuder Obligations, says the

delivered by him in the United States
Senate on February 18th, on the pro-
position to admit Pinch back as a men =

We append hrief extract of his treat

hates the Union. We wish space
allowed of al ampier quotation. TIE

hardly fail OF effect upon those who

THE 1NJUNCEIoN- OUR CITY
ELECTION.

So Judge Bond did not grant the
prayer of Duncan Holmes and David
Gay, and the city election will be held
according to the act of the Legisla-
ture, on Thursday next. The POOR
negroes, and their miserable white
allies, depending upon the legal abili-
ties of Mr.. Russell, or the partizan-
ship of Judge Bond, not even
trouble themselves to register, and
have thus given the entire control OF
the election into the hands OF the sub
stantial white citizens. For this are
we obliged to Mr.. Russell and Mayor
Canaday, and the other whites whose
interests we're to defeat the election.
and WHO thought they knew Judge
Bond we'll enough to know how he

their own meetings announced with

to them.
Another thing, too, viii proba-

they called at o'clock for their pay, or
were not too late at II o'clock, when
they came as he had requested. We

Among the most gratifying refec.
