Ashe Political Relation Of IN.
COlOred Voters.

Inc following resolutions Introduce
INTO the Senate on the 14th inst. by Sen
ator Grey, (colored,) cannot have es
capped observation:
whereas Peace and harmony are two ot
me great supports To our political institu-
tipi@- ana caicdlR ed 10 carry out the great
principles OF nations prosperity and
ouiifl up successful system or Govern
meHt; therefore, be il
ne OWED, That "a colored Republicans OF
ms state, we do now pledge our CO. opera
noh WIN mat party l. the future, which
vii guarantee the honest supporr and fnii
enjoyment If all rights in common with
other citizens of the State, now eninyed nm
ger the Consul ution. Ind demand OF the
| present Legislature the enactment of lust
ana equitable laws. and that no infri1Ve
Iiehs ne attrmpfe ed TO- in any wise, abrdge
| our rights a. a class.
We cannot disguise our qualification at
this indication of independent thought
and action by the colored voters. To
our mind, nothing can benefit them more
than to do their own thinking, and to de-
termlne for themselves, without prejudice,
their own line Of conduct. They have
experienced the duplicity, the seIfishness,
the base ingratitude of their carpet bag
leaders, who have only lured them to
their destruction-used them as beasts
of burden-and have even sacrificed
the lives of colored men on the altar of
their unhsllowed ambition. 1t was
Ames who said that the blood of coTored
people would be good for the Republi-
can party, meaning self-seeking adventu-
rers like himself, and who straightway put
in motion the diabolical machinery for
carrying his atrocious theory into prac-
tice. The Democrats and Conservatives
would be glad to have rest from all this
turmoil and strife between the races,
which have been fomented by the Radi-
cal leaders, and in token of their deter
mination to comply with every declara-
tiOn they have made of equal laws and |
just dealing to all, without Partiality or
discrimination, they can point to their |
recorded acts since they have obtained |
control of the legislative department Of
the State government. 1t is for the
colored people themselves to determine |
where they will stand and what shall be |
the future political relations between the
races. rhe resolutions of Senator Gray
are a favorable augury Gf peace and
goodwill.

"OrfuI" Grant.

"Orful" is brother of the President,
and has been treated with fraternal con,
sideration by the latter, who seems to
have regarded the public offices and
the public moneys as perquisites of his
own, to be bestowed on the one hand,
and disbursed on the other, as he deemed
proper. When there was a change in the
Indian leadership, Orville was notified
that there was his chance for levying con-
trbutions, which he did without stint or
mercy on the poor Indians or soldiers, as
the case may have been. His influence
was eargerly sought and paid for, and,
as TIE New York Tribune puts it, he adj
dressed the traders to the following eff
feet Give me half your profits or my
" brother will turn YOU out" And they
" torked."

SENATOR CHALMERS opinion in the
Davis bribery case presents the facts and
the argument in nutshell. 1t is indis-
putable that the bribe-money Was paid in
consideration Of the pardon, and it does
not matter whether it was received by the
Lieutenant Governor for his own benefit,
or that of his next friend, Adjutant-Gen-
ersl Packer, who was self-contessed agent
of corruption, recipient Of the bribe-
money and "A perjurer.
Nevertheless, if the Senate in the ex-
arcise Of its discretion, should confine its
sentence simply to expulsion from office,
without placing the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
under the ban of disqualification hereaf
ter, the public, under the circumstances,
would approve its action and feel that the
demands of Justice in his case have been
satisfied.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1876-03-22
Too Late.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Davis (attempt
ted resignation is too late. He can
not take himself out of the jurls-
dlchon of the Senate, and deprive
It of its constitutional prerogative
TO pass sentence upon his acts. He has
been tried in obedience to the supreme
law, and having been found guilty, rests
under disability that deprives him of
me power of performing any official act,
Whether TO atfix his signature to bill
which might pass the Senate, or to pa
per rendering his resignation.
Nor can Governor Ames render the
resignation of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
VaI'd by accepting it while in this posi-
ton, tough he could render himself amen
able to the c.tqrge. and liable for the eonse-
q'ences, of conntr<ng at the Escape Of eut-
p'1t from the punishment prescribed 6y
NE Constitution after he had been pro-
bounced guilty by nearly unanimous
vote of the Senate, including majority
OF his own party.
loo late! The dodge won't win. As
IN duty bound, the Senate will pursue
the evenfenor of its way:
JACKSON, March 16, 1876.
10 the People of Mississippi
FOR reasons which are obvious, ] here
by resign the office of Iieutenant-G tower
nor OF the State. To the members of the
Republican party, and all others who
honored me with their votes in 1873,
return my sincere thanks, and can only
regret that I was unable, before Cour
OF Impeachment, to prove, as L was re
CURED to do, that was innocent of the
charges preferred against me. In de
1ault of this, avail myself of the powe
which the Constitution and laws give me
and return the office to your hands.
Very Respectfully,
A. K. DAVIS.

Proposed Constitutional Amend
gnemf.

There are strong reasons for support
ing the bill introduced into the House by
Hon. l.. P. Reynolds, of Alcorn, to
amend the Constitution defining the
limits Of a session of the Legislature and
the compensation of meGl bers. With the
uncertainty as times now are of the char
acter OF which future Legislatures may be
composed, it would be wise for the
peoples representatives to erect safe
guards while they are able, to protect
Them from Il renewal of the extortions
and abuses of power to which they were
subjected under the rule of the adven-
lnrers. The limit of compensation named
IN the bill, S. 90 per day, is not too
high under existing circumstances. but
there IS nothing in the bill to pre-
vent ;2wer rate at the discretion
.oi the Legislature. We have grave
doubts, inasmuch as the sessions are to
De biennial in future, of the propriety OF
limiting the term to sixty days. 1t might
De hEed at seyenty-fve. with condition
mat 1t shall be extended for the trial OF
impeachment cases, or the codifieation OF
t'e laws, which are in very confused
condition, Undoubtedly Mr.. Reynold' 5
proposition is step in the right direc-
ton.

Liverpool Cotton Report

The following IS an eztnct from tae

of Me-srs. w. G. Watts g. Co:
It may be taken for granted hat at

THE Radical Legislature of 1874, in
imposing the onerous conditions embraced
in the sixth section of the act of that
year, attempted repetition of the folly
of killing the goose that lays the golden
egg. The present Legislature will, no
doubt, come to the rescue. The taxpay-
srs are looking to it with eager gaze,
