the surgeon regarded as convalescent
but too weak to be removed with safety to
themselves. The anxiety of the prisoners
To be sent TO their homes had prevailed
over the objections of the surgeon. But
this is not all, for / have recently learned
from a priest, who was then at Annapolis
that the most wretched looking OF these
photographs were taken from man who
had never been prisoner OF war, but who
had been left on the sick list at Annapolis
when the command to which he was at
tached had passed that place on its south
ward march. Whatever may be said In ex-
tenuAtion of such imposture, because of the
eXigcnces of war, there can be no such eX-
euse now Tor the attempt OF Mr.. Blaine, by
gross Misrepresentation and slanderous ac-
cusation. To revive the worst passions OF the
war; and IL is TO be hoped that, much as the
event is TO be regretted. il will have the good
effect of awaking truthful statements in re-
gard To this little understood subject from
men who would have preferred to leave
their sorrowiul story untold il the subject
could have been allowed peacefully 10 sink
into oblivion. Mutual respect is need full
for common interests is essential to a
friendly feeling; but when SANDER comes
from high places. the public welfare de
mands that truth should strip talsehood of
its power for evil. / am, respectfully and
truly, your friend, JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Disclaiming willingness to forecast
the course. of Senator Alcorn in the
pending canvass from the statements OF
anonymous letter writers, We cannot close
our eyes TO the main fact set forth in the
correspondence of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, elsewhere copied. That Ames
''will be sent to the rear" there can be
no doubt He will be impeached and
removed by the Legislature, and will be
abhorred and Stunned as miserable
failure by the Republicans.
That the administration intends to
control Mississippi and Louisiana for the
Republican ticket, if in its power, there
is no doubt, though the motive of bring
ing his bayonets into action, will not be
altogether so strong with Gen. Grant
after he is disappointed in his third-term
aspirations, as it now is.
The readiness with which the call for
troops by the Revenue Collector upon
the unfounded and frivolous pretext
furnished by the case of Redmond the
low down cunning and zeal which have
been displayed in getting up Ku-Klux
prosecutions in order to prosecute, hunt
down, imprison and intimidate our people
who have asserted their rights at the
ballot-box and thrown off the yoke of
the alien plunderer and his vicious and
ignorant negro allies and the charge
along the whole line by Morton with the
bloody shirt futtering to the breeze,
armed with the SANDERS furnished to
his hand by the defeated vagabond
elemental foreshadow the plan Of
the campaign adopted for the resub-
jugation of Mississippi to carpet
baggery. But there is no occasion for
alarm, nor apprehension of serious con-
sequences. Let the men who won the
late victory over fraud and oppression in
this State, stand fast and be united.
Keep up yoaV organizations. Maintain
your pledges. Do Justice though the
heavens fall Leave the dead past to
bury It's dead and look resolutely to the
future. The nation is tired of agitation
over settled issues, and it is tired of sup
porting rotten administrations in the
South by the federal arm. The very
desperation of our political opponents
shows the hopelessness of their cause, and
is an encouraging Sign to the people
whom they are seeking TO devour.

Exemption Of Manufacture.

EDITORS CLARION: 1t looks like | am
about to get myself into scrape. and must
crave your indulgence when seeking relief
through your columns.
/ sent you a short letter the other day,
containing kind words in favor of the man
utacturing interests IN this state, especially
the manufacture Of cotton; not thinking.
State at this advanced age, with the exam
ple-the successful eXample-Of Georgia,
not thinking, ! say, that there was any one
capable OF writing for TUE CLARION, who
would advocate q policy that il detrimental
to that great interest; but to my great sur
prise, find published in the same column
with my letter, a communication from an
anonymous correspondent, calling himself
two stars. He Is not only anonymous as 70
bis name, but he l. so a TO tie purpose Tor
which he writes. The intent is evidently 70
give his iutiuence against the exemption OF
cotton machinery from taxation. Though
we may never know tAe name OF THIS
writer, we can easily .ee MS purpose which
is to nreYsnt, or at least to obstruct, the man
ufActuring interest of the State, by With
holding from ii the advantages which arc
granted it in other States. Z two stars was
a lawyer, he might take different view
/ from behind his constitutional DreastWOTk-
herewith send you the legal opinion OF

The proposed reduction all around is
no doubt very good and proper, but we
cannot understand why the pruning
knife was not applied to Liberia. We sus-
pect that it is because Triggers in the
wood pile"
In connection with these proposed re-
auctions we would venture the suggestion
that our national legislators are in dan
ger of emitting the "weightier matters of
the law" in their attention to minor con-
germs, Why do they not work up the
mines of corruption, official dishonesty
and rasca1ity which are as abundant
as leaves IN Vallambrosa? Why leave
all these fields unexplored to hunt
down the little consulships which
involve but a few thousand dollars al
most? Why not save six or eight or
may be ten or fifteen million dollars in
the army end navy departments The
postofflce department is sid to be per
feet well-spring Of extravaganza expendi-
lures but we hear no talk of correcting
the abuses that have crept into it. And
then it has been well suggested that if
smaller matters must be the order of the
day, ths Gopggesslm4ieen who were elected
on their reform pledges might l0ok to the
exorbitant abuses which, under the rule
of their profigate predecessors, have
crept into the very department with
which tLeg themselves are connected.
For example, the salaries Of congressman
and the superabundant contingents which
they receive in the shape of pen-knives
hair brushes, and inpumerable items
under the head Of stationery, ali coHstitu
ting colossal expenditure at the cost o.
the taxpayers. 1t is a great thing t.
save at the spigot provided you do the
same at the bung.

THE SITUATION.

Ii the Democrats in Congress had gone
to work in the same spirit of reform and
sIngleness of purpose to remedy the evils
which Radical misrule has brought on
the country, that have marked the con.
duct of the Democratic majority in the
Mississippi Legislature. the prospects of
the party in the Presidential election
would have been better. In our Legis-
lature no time has been thrown awav
wrangllng over dead issues. We have
had our party quarrels; but not
word has been said during the session
to recall the fact that they ever
| existed. We have differed about Hrecon-
struction," "disbandment," and other
matters of party expediency, and have had
our g Bourbons," and Softs and
lizards" and s'White-liners" and "Con-
servatives" and what not, but none of these
minor matters of the past have been per-
mitted to thrust themselves between the
Democratic majority in the Legislature
and the performance of the paramount
ends for which it was elected. 1t has
worked steadily, and with success for
the redemption of its pledges. There
has been nothing done, and there
has been nothing said, by the Democratic
majority which remotely savored of leg
islation unfriendly to the rights and priv
ileges of the colored people, notwith-
standing the prediction Of our opponents
to the contrary. So far as the legsla-
ton adopted or proposed by the domi-
nant party, is concerned, it would not be
known that there were two races in our
State to be affected by it,
Without consuming a moment of the
time set apart for regular business. the
investigating committees have pursued
their work vigorously and iRdustriously,
and with a prodigai Indulgence to the
accused officials, in the introduction of
partizan witnesses in their own behalf
SO that there could be no suspicion
of unfair treatment. When their reports
are made, the PUBLIC will see how thor
oughly they have explored the matters
they were charged 10 investigate.
On the whole, the people of Mississippi
may turn With positive delight frota the
lack of sound Judgment and the incapac-
ity displayed by the majority in Congress,
to the very opposites of these qualities
that have been exhibited by the Demo-
cratic party in their State Legislature /;
and they may be consoled by the rehec-
ton that if the shortsightedness of the
| one has somewhat clouded the prospects
| of victory jn the Presidential election,
the virtues of the other hage made sure
the triumph of the party of intelligence,
honesty apd fidelity to law and order in
| our future State elections.

triumphant vindicntlon.

The report of the House Committee
to investigate the charge that a U. >.
Revenue Collector had been resisted III
the performance of his official duties,
and his life endangered by citizens
Amite and Pike counties, will be found
in our record of Legislative proceed-f
ings. The Committee, after a full
and thorough examination, have reach
ed the conclusion that there was
no such resistance, and have re-
ported that the charge was absolutely
false. 1t waa upon this unfounded rep
resentation, derogatory to the good name
and law-abiding disposition of the people
of those counties. that Federal troops
were called for, and are now stationed
among them as standing menace. The
troops themselves are harmless, and then
presence would occasion no feeling, bul
for the unjust attributiOn of lawlessnes'
to thecitizens.

What Has Been Done SO ~ hat
Ought 90 DE Done.

The Legislature has reduced the sal
aries of State officers that's good. 1t
has abolished sinecures about the Capt.
toll and reduced the compensation OF
clerks and secretaries that's excellent.
It has brosght down to a reasonable ag-
ure the pay of county Superintendent
that's fine, It has agreed to submit a
constitutional amendment abolishing the
fifth-wheel-costIy- obstruction kaown as
the office of .Lieutenant-G Governor that's
GRAND It has abolished that extrava-
CANT iniquity known as the special reve-
nue. agency bill; that's first-rate. 1t
has fixed the pay of the public printer
so as to require a nice calculation
to determine whether his business will
be losing or paying investment
that's glorious. (No man has right to
more than mesgre compensation at the
expense of an impoverished people,
The House has inserted an amend
ment reducing the pay OF members
of the Legislature; that's just. And
now, having done so much that is praise
worthy, let both Houses agree to Tx the
salary of Circuit Judges at sum not
exceeding 81, 500; and of Supreme
Judges, not exceeding $500. These
figures are above tbs average rates paid
to Circuit and Supreme Judges in other
States with greater wealth and popnla-
ton. but our liberal and indulgent people
will not grumoie. ProOided, at'odys, the
appointment of competent and topest ?"
