THE ANARCHY IN MISSISSIPPI.

The United States Senate appointed
a special committee to investigate
thoroughly the Mississippi election OF
last year, and report on the present
condition of the State. That commit
tee has completed its labors, and is a.
bout TO report. Its Secretary Mr.. j.
Redpath, one of the most intelligent
and reliable men in Washington, has
travelled largely in the south, and has
written an able series of letters to the
New York Times on the situation there.
Mr. Redpath heard all the testimony
given before the Senate Investigating
Committee, and personally conversed
with all the principle witnesses.
In a recent letter to the New York
Times, Mr.. Redpath summarizes as fol-
lows what the forthcoming report of
the Committee will show:
''It will show that the colored voters
i'm all the counties where they out
number the whites were overawed
by an organized sysytem of terrorism.
cit will prove that wholesale murd =
ers and midnight assassinations were
promtly resorted to whenever less vio-
lent methods failed to intimidate the
Republicans.
sit will establish the fact that
scores of the leaders of the colored
people mainly the negro presidents
of the Republican clubs-were driven
off or silenced or murdered.
1T will tell that white men were
subjected to the same terrors when
ever they scorned to succumb to the
social and political influences around
them.
'It will prove that the planters in
many parts of the State incorporated in
their leases intinidating proviso that if
the negro renter failed to vote with
the landowner, all his share of the
crops-all his profits of his year, labor
OH the farm-should be forfeited to the
proprietor by this independant politi-
cal action.
''lt will demonstrate, in one word,
that the larchrymose Lamar who wept
over Summers coffin lids, owed his e.
lection as United States Senator to the
overthrow Of every civil right, to Sc
cure which the great Northern states
men lived and died.

IF Hayes is a reformer why did he
not try to ferret out some of the frauds
that he knew were existing when he
was in Congress in 1869 Was he too
busy in looking after the increased
salary bill, which passed that year, by
which his salary was raised from So, 600
to S., ,0002-Platn Dealer.
To begin with, Hayes was not in
Congress in 1868. There was a bill
passed in the first session of the Con-
gress which organized in December,
1865, raising the salary from So, 600 to
$1,000. Gov. Hayes, then in the
House, voted against the bill every
time. Gov. Hendricks, now the Dem
ocratic candidate for Vice President,
but then in the Senate, voted for the
bill. Hendricks and every Democrat
in the Senate and House drew the i'll
creased pay and pocketed it. Nobody
found fault with the act then or since,
but if there was anything wrong about
it, how about Hendricks?-H Herald.

SENT TO THE LUsATIc ASYLUM,
A Remedy for the Presidential
.F HluddIe.

Sr. Louis, December 3.-Ex.Senator
Carl Schurz aud John B. Henderson, and
other prominent men Of this city, have
forwarded letter to the President ofthe
United States Senate, relative 10 the
counting Of the electoral vote, with the
request that be layit before the Senate.
They say that the present condition Of
the country calls for some action which
will settle the political disquitude. The
clause in the Constitution respecting the
canvassing OF the electoral Vote is
quoted and pronounced indefinite,
and liable to diverse the construc-
ton. The attempt TO canvass the
vote in joint session Of Congress is depre.
Gated as certain to raise partisan issues
and develop u strife, which may prove
disastrous to the country. The letter
then proposes as the remedy that the
whole matter shall be transferred to the
Supreme Court Of the United States. II
is urged that it is the only tribunal by
which fair and bipartisan decision, one
which will Salty the whole people, can
be obtained. To eject this the let.
ter proposes that the two Houses
shall improve the three weeks
preceding Christmas in framing and
agreeing on a Constitutional Amendment
placing in the Supreme Court the duty
Of canvassing the electoral vote. The
most Of the State Legislatures meet i'm.
mediately after the holidays, when the
amendment could be submitted, and the
letter holds to the opinion that the
amendment would be ratified without
delay, so it could be made part Of the
Constitution and apply to the point.
Both Of the Presidential candidates, 1t is
urged, would recognize the wisdom Of
this course, and both Republican and
Democratic Legislatures would ratify 1t.
The letter dwells at length on the wis.,
dom Of removing the important matter
from tribunal likely to be affected by
partisan strife.
