The following letter from General Roger
A. Pryor to General B. F Butler, is going
the rounds of the press
New York, APRIL 3, 1875.
MY DEAR GENERAL; | had purpOsed to
come by Washington, but my engagements
in New York to-day were imperative and
indispensable. asen
Messrs, Durant and Clancy will give you
full report of our proceedings in Mississip-
pi. r
A thorough Reconnaissance of the enemv's
position left no doubt Ofour clients convic-
ton. The question then arose whether his
interest did require that he should if posi-
BILE avert that catastrophe. We all agreed
that if it could be done without loss of
honor we had better accept the alternative
ofresignation. H tt
Accordingly opened negotiations with
leading men against us, with manJ of whom
| had old and intimate associations, and af
ter strenuous struggle it was arranged
that they should dismiss the charges and
then the Governor should resign This plan
was carried out without any reflection on
the Governors character-indeed he stands
better to-day in the estimation Of his enc
mics in Mississippi than ever before. The
fact of his appointment as delegate to Gin
cinnati, shows that he has not lost caste with
his own party in the State. ,ets
The settlement finally effected is infinitely
more satisfactory than / conceived possible
on my arrival at jackson. His enemies
there consider that he retired unscathed and
with all the honors Of war. lH I'll.
May add my own brief intercourse with
GOV. Ames suf1ced to engage for him my
highest esteem and yarmest friendship?
Throughout the trying crisis he bore himself
as brave and honorable gentleman. =.
Whatever his political enemies may say
of him, they can never reproach him with
corruption or eoWardice. r
Very truly yours, b u,

> The amended Public School law, which
was printed in the last number of The
CLARION, and the admirable and we'll
timed circular of the Superintendent of
Public instruction, Mr.. Gathrght, tri-
umphantly refute the charge of political
opponents in the late canvass, that if the
Democrats and Conservatives obtained
power they would strike down the COM
mon schools. On the contrary, it was
promised by the latter that, under their
control, the system would be preserved
and its efficiency increased, by cut
ting off superfuous expenditures. re-
ducing salaries to a reasonable rate,
frightening the sessions and elevating
the standard of qualification for teachers.
The pledge will be rigidly carried out.
If complaint be made that the pay of
teachers-$40 per month for males-has
been reduced too low, we reply that it is
fully equal to the average compensation
in other States, where the people, not
having felt the blight of carpet-bag mis-
rule, are comparatively prosperous. For
example, the average monthly pay of
male teachers females receive less), in a
number of States from which we have
obtained statistics, is as follows:

Col Sam. NJ. Meek, of Columbus. has
agreed to represent the people OF the State
before the Senatorial Investigating Com
mittee, which, it is expected, will soon hold
its sessions within the State The chairmen
of the various Democratic Clubs, and other
persons who feel an interest in the matter,
are requested TO CORES pond with Col. Meek
and to give him such information rs may be
needed, and also TO furnish him tho names Of
witnesses to be called before the Commit
tee
1t is feared that the object Of those who
have promoted the raising of the Commit
tee. Is to secure grossly p9rtiznn and one
sided report, 50 Is to still further influence
the passions and preiudices Of the people Of
the North against us; but whether this fear
be well or il -founded, il is proper aud right
that our people take such steps a. may be
necessary to secure a fair investigation. Ii
Is therefore urged on our friends throughout
the State to cooperate fully with Col.
Meek and give him the aid required by the
gravity of the business entrusted to him.
