The .StAtez Debt Of MissiSsipPi-
How IA was swollen Under
Radical Rule.

We have printed in another column
an important official document in the
form of a report to the Legislature by a
committee, of which Hon. j. A. Sykes,
of Monroe, was chairmln. Itpresents, in
a clear and compact manner, the present
indebtedness of the State, and is "A COM
mentary worth studying, upon Radical
profigacy, extravaganza and corruption.
The public debt, when the adventures
seized. the State government by the aid
of Federal bayonets. was only 1921, 522,
or there would have been only that sum
due, including Trust Funds, after ap-
plying the availableassets to its payment
At the time of their expulsion from
power the State debt over available as
sets had swollen to 81, 1851, 704, notwilh-
standing the most rigid system of taxa
tion-a system so grinding that it had
touched the point of confiscatiOn. In
other words, it was the habitual custom or
the adventures to appropriate annually
sum largely in excess of what they could
wiring from the taxpayers. Instead of a
debt, at the rate of taxation enforced, if the
State government had been economically
managed, there would have been a large
unexpended balance in the Treasury.
For this debt there is nothing to show
except the poverty aud distress of the
people. The monies which have been
coined out of their toll and sweat 'have
either enriched the adventures who
ruled the State, or have been squanderel
by them.
But even the debt which they have
left as legacy on the hands of the un-
fortunate people, was not the worst result
of their profigacy and dishonesty. The
property valuation of the State when
they seized its government amounted to
5000, 000, 900, while it is shown by this
report that when it was wrested from
them ia had been reduced to s119, 200, 900
"a loss of eighty-one millions in six
years. The State was going the down
ward road, and the political revolution
did not come an hsur too soon.

Radieal Rule In sEts-is-ippt.

The greatest crime which rulers can
commit against the people is to under
mine the independence of, and debauch
and corrupt, their Judieary-on whose
wisdom, stability and integrity their
rights af person and property depend.
When the Senatorial inIuisitioG get into

We are encouraged e the following
letter, received few Gays since, in re-
sponse to our campaigns prospectus, D
appeal to our friends who came 50 nobly
to the aid of The CLAkIps last summer
and fall, and assisted us In extending hs
circulation. and -eniargiug its influences
duringthe then pending canvass, to again
give US their aid.
We are about entering upon another
important canvass, which will determine,
in a measure, whether Mississippi shall
remain moored in the Democratic harbor
of honesty, retrenchment and reform. If
the Democracy carry the State this fall,
the Radicals, already disheartened, will
become utterly demoralized, and will
scarcely rally for the battle in 1877. To
that end THE CLARION will, to the best
of It's ability, furnish the facts and fig
ures" for our canvassers in the coming
contest, as it has done in the pact. 1t
will do its utmost to arouse the voters TO
prompt, energetic and combined action.
We know our friends can aid us in
extending its circulation. We remember
we'll that last fall our circulation, mostly
by their kind efforts, was increased more
than fifteen hundred in less than two
months.
Each subscriber, by little effort,
might add another, and thus double our
capacity for usefulness in the pending
struggle for constitutional freedom an d
integrity in government.

Here is an adventure of U, S. Juror,

prisoners from Amite county. Instead
Of sending them to northern pententi-
airy, it seems that he met with slight
accident, which resulted in his breaking
into the jail of an adjoining county:

!. 1t seems that Allen CASTOR, who had been
living in the town of Summit since the No
vember election aud whose change of citi-
zenship from Amite to Pike was abrupt and
sudden, has fallen victim to the clutches
of the law. Whilst extending the hospital
lilies of his house to his friend, Biewitt
Williams, citizen OF this county, while
returning from jackson, where he had
been in attendance, as juror, upon the L.
5. District Court, he managed in some way
best known to himself during the silence OF
the night, while his guest was calmly and
peacefully reposing beneath his hOspit able
roof, to take unlawful POSSESSION OF Blew
tits watch aud pocket-book. This is why
Allen has been arrested, and for this unlaw-
fal taking with which he has been charged.
