Fred Grants fight with reporter calls
forth the following hits from the Chicago
Times paragraphist:
When Sitting Calf goes into the bull
doing business he shouldn't attack poor
little Journal reporter.
IL i Thanksgiving. and. il Ulysses, Fred
and the rest of the Grants have no objection
let u have peace.
Sheridan is not responsible for the action
of his aid. for he said at New Orleans that he
was not Fred.
Whether il will be necessary TO order a few
regiments 10 Chicago depends upon whether
the paltry judiciary of this state attempt 10
take cognizance of young Grants proceed
ings
1t was supposed that the terrible scion
was with his regiment, but he is found at
headquarters drawing loyal gore from the
noses of truly good Grant reporters.
II he had been a reporter Of the Times il
wouldn't have been 50 bad, but 10 strike the
emissary of the truly loyal Journal was base
ingratitude.

gentle unionisf, what fury will animate his

jured hair

Inquiring ones, list 10 His voice,
Exceeding glad be ye, rejoice.)

Jacobs Ladder.

Nine-tenths of the colored people pay
no tax on real estate, and one-halt DO
not pay even the poll-tax which is devoted
exclusively to the common schools at
which the children of that race are
taught. Therefore the point of the bill
introduced by Mr.. Jacobs, colored Re-
publican member of the House from
Adams county, will be seen. That
member essayed to ascend an eminence
of fame by scheme requiring parents
who pay no taxes on real estate to pay
twenty-five cents tax on each educable
child for the benefit of the school fund
whether the said child is an attendant at
school or not 1t would have operated
more especially upon the colored race
Crowded it could have been collected) !;
and if the mover had been Democrat,
the usual howl would have been raised
in the Radical camp. Mr.. Guthrie, of
LAFAYETTE, Chairman of the Committee
| on EuuCdllOu, IS poIlCO against II. w Aol
Mr.. Speaker Street was prompted by the
occasion to say is reported in the Oxford
Falcon as follows:
Speaker Street, who was then on the
floor, said that it had been charged by
the Democrats that the Republicans had
levied tax on everything in the State
except children, and now here was Re
publican, colored at that, who had the
audacity to propose to this Democratic
Legislature to tax them. He moved
that the words twenty-five cents on each
child be stricken out, and ten dollars on
each old bachelor be inserted. Upon this
motion the House for the first time los
its dignity, and INDUCED for about ter
minutes in entertaining and discussing
all kinds of absurd and ridiculous mo
tons. The bill was finally postponed.
Thereupon the Falcon grows facetious
and adds:
Speaker Streets head is level Jacobs
bill TO tax the children of the State woulC
tend to reduce the production of the ar
| ticle, while Streets amendment, taxing
old bachelors, would have the effect t
increase the supply. Bully for Street.

MOrfOn's Witnesses.

The following is from a late Washing
ton letter in the New York Herald.
When the great organs of public opinion
in the North are teeming with evidences
of the guilt of Ames and his accomplices,
and are familiarizing the mind of that
section with the enormity of their
misdeeds, it would be wonderful if
people here in Mississippi who know the
guilt of these conspirators and have
charged it home upon them, were hesita-
ting as to the propriety of arraigning
such of the malefactors as are now in
public office, on accusations of violating
their trusts--and removing them:
