THE MISSISSIPPI REPORTS.
Boutwell, Thinks this State Should
Again Be Reconstructed.
Unless We Allow 0urseiycS'to be Tram.
pied upon should be Denied
Representation.
A Contrary, Truthful Minority Report
Federal Interference i'm South
ern A fairs the Cause 0A All
The Troubles.

The committee appointed by the
Senate to investigate affairs in Missls-
sippi, have Mt last reported. As
was expected, two reports have been
submitted. The majority of the com
mittee, headed by that vIndictive and
s.anderous paltroon Boutwell,, who de-
lights in venting his spleen upon the
impoverished South, say i'll view of the
condition of affairs which they represent
exists in Mississippi, suggest, in con-
c~iusion, three remarks:
l. Laws may be passed by Congress
for the protection of the rights of citi-
zens in the respective States.
2. The States in anarchy, or wherein
tho offairs orc controlled by bodies of
armed men, should be denied represen-
tation in Congress.
). The constitutional guarantee of q
Republican form of government to every
State will require the United States, If
these disorders increase or even contin-
lie and all milder measures shall prove
Intellectual, to remand the State to q
territorial condition, and through a sys-
tenn OF public education and kindred
means Of Improvements, change the
ideas of the inhabitants and reconstruct
the government on a Republican basis.
MINORITY REPORT.
The minority report concludes:
Striking out the counties where fraud
or violence may be supposed to have
nullifed the elections in those special
and few localities, still enough lawful
ami peaceably elected members of both
houses remain unimpeached in any
quarter and by any witness to form
more than n quorum duly qualified to Or
ganize the bodies according to the Con-
stitution of the State of Mississippi.
Interference by Federal authority III
the State elections and internal affairs
has, since the close of the war, frequent
ly taken place, and ley without de-
plorable and disastrous results; and on
the other hand, the application of
minorities, defeated by popular vote, to
be nevertheless installed in Office, has
never been denied by the Federal au-
thorities without such denial being fol-
lowed by beneficent results, Such in
reference has always been followed,
and very naturally, by local discomfort
and disorder, as in the ease of louisa
ma and Ala bama; while Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas
and Arkansas are living proofs, in their
increased prosperity and tranquility, of
the wisdom of non-interference.

FORM.
The St. Louis platform denounce'
the failure for eleven years to make
good the promise of the legal tender
notes: it denounces the omission to ac-
cumulate any reserve for the redemp-
ton and it denounces the conduct
which during eleven years of peace has
made no advance towards resumption
no preparations for it-but instead of
that. has obstructed resumption by
wasting our and exhaustlne
all our surplus income.
While protesting to intend q speedy
return to specie payments, it has annu'
all enacted fresh hinderances thereto
and having first denounced the barren
ness of the promise of a day OF resump-
ton, it next denou noes that barren
promise as a hinderance to resumption
it then demands it's repeal, and also de-
mands the establishment of a judicious
system of preparation for resumption.
It cannot be dJuhted that the
substitution of a system of preparation
would be the gain of the substance OF
resumption in exchange for its shadow.
Nor is the denunciation unmerited,
if that Lmprovidence which in the elev.
en- years since the peace, has consumed
81, 500, 900, 900, and yet could not afford
to give the people a sound and stable
currency.
Two and a half per cent on the ex-
penditure of these eleven years, or even
less, would have provided all the adj
ditional coin needful to resumption.
RELIEF TO BUSINESS DISTRESS.
The distress now felt by the people
in all their business and industries,
though it has it's principal AUS in the
enormous waste of capital o~ccasioneo
by the false policies OF u government
has been greatly aggravated Oy 'ne
management of the currency.
Uncertainty is the prolific parent o.
mischiefs in all business. Never were
it's evils more felt than now; men az
nothing because they are unable t.
make any calculation on which they car

Educated in the belief that it is the
first duty of a citizen of the Republic to
take his fair allotment of care and
trouble in public affairs, | have for for
ty years, as a private citizen, fulfilled
that duty. Though occupied in an I'M
usual degree during all the period with
the concerns of government, 1 have
never acquired the habit Of official life.
When a year and a half ago l entered
upon my present trust, it was in order
to consumate reforms to which I had
already devoted several of the best
years of my life. Knowing as / do,
therefore, from fresh experience, how
great the difference between gliding
through an official routine and working
out a reform of systems and policies, it
is impossible for me to contemplate
what needs to be gone Ia the Federal
Administration without an anxious
sense of the difficulty of the undertake

acted sensibly indeed. All day long they we're
fixing up their house. The woman vowed she
wouldn't marry him till she seed everything
fxed.'' Hand in hand, they were as busy as
bees walking these streets, and buying provis-
ions and furniture for the house. And at last,
when all was done, the woman walked down
and peeped in, and said, Now, John. I'll marry
your and they went and were married, and
marched straight down into a snug little home.

Come back from over the sea,
Bringing the kisses that pure. sweet lips
Gave you in trust for me.
