The Democrats carried Mississippi last
fall by the help of Senator Revels and
other intelligent negroes, and al sooD as
congress met, Morton hung his bloody
shirt outside his pants and announced
that the rebellion had been re-inaugurated
10 Mississippi. He introduced resolutions
demanding Federal interference to mega
tive the result Of the election and com
menced speech abusive Of the south. in
tended for campaign document, which is
not finished yet.
Meantime the Democrats and decent
Republicans in the Mississippi legislature
entered upon the task Of hunting down
the Republican robbers who had distressed
the state so long. At the head of the
thieves was Ames, Ben Buffers son-in.
law, and the most internal scoundrel that
has disgraced American citizenship. For
four years governor Of the state, he had
sold every function Of his Office and every
official act was corruptly battered for a
bride. He was the wretch to be kept in
power by Morton's resolution. The legis-
lature FIRST impeached the negro superin-
tendent of instruction, CORDOBA, next the
negro lieutenant governor, Davis, and lastly
Ames, amongst whose crimes was the
selling Of pardon for $4,000, to q negro
sentenced TO the penitenitary for the
double crime Of rape and murder, white
woman being the victim. Ames turned
his eyes toward Washington and though
Morton and Conkling shouted back their
sympathy, and tears of coincidence flowed
in the White House, the Democratic
house stood square across the path of
Federal interference aud the rascal at last
agreed to resign and leave the state, if the
legislature would permit. and fearing that
so much corruption would demoralize even
their penitentiary, they let him resign and
20 home to Ben. Butler. This scamper
ing Of scoundrels is an answer to Morton
aud Conkling that they will not relish.

The proable action of the house in the
controverted election case of LeMoyne Us.
Farwell is indicated in the action of the
subcommittee of the committee on
elections, The Democratic majority of the
subcommittee, consisting of Messrs. Har-
ris and Black burn, are understood to have
agreed to report in favor of giving the seat
to LeMoyne, the Democratic contestant !:
and, as Harris and Blackburn are both
strong men in the house. the former
being chairman of the full committee on
elections.-it is thought probable that
their report will be concurred in by the
committee aud by the house. A minority
report will undoubtedly be submitted by
the Republican members of the comm ittee
but is expected that the Democratic
majority will GUST the Republican and seat
the Dem ocrat, as they ought to do.

The Aldine.

Americans have due reason to bt
proud OF their great representative Art
Journal-the Aldine. 1t supplies want
created by our recent and rapid
aesthetic development, and boldly ac-
complishes what no other publication
has dared to attempt. In 1T we may
truly say that perfection in engraving
and Typography is attained. so far as
the worlds ingenuity has,up to the pres
number is in itself a monument to the ca.
pabilities of the artists and artisans in
| America in those two kindred branches,
whose rare taste and skill are 80 strik-
| ingly embodied within it's pages.
| 1t is gratifying likewise to observe the
unlimited admiration and the fiattering
encouragement with which this praise
worthy enterprise has been greeted even
from its very inception. We thus have
abundant proof that the American peo-
pie have within themselves, aud without
extraneous aid, the means of highest
art productions; besides possessing all
that is required to appreciate and foster
love OF the beautiful, as expressed in
such objects as this journal SO happily
places within our reach.
1t may be appropriate to mention here
that the name ALDINE is derived from
| that OF MANUTIUs ALDUs, the great light
| of the Typographical art when that art
was yet in its infancy, ana which he i'm
proved in wonderful manner during
the thirty years that he practiced it at
| Venice, from about A. d. 1885 to 1915.
He invented the ltalic character, and
executed works that yet remain models
OF typographical purity and excellence.
He died in the year 1915.
We must coincide with the publisher
in the assertion that they have fully
evlnced their determination not to per-
NIT the Aldine to be diverted from the
purpose for which it was designed-the
| illustration of the true position of Amer
lea in the printing world-in the further
ance of which they have spared no labor
or expense.
The publishers announce a, new and
distinctive feature i'll the volume for the
Centennial year, each numberof which
will contain elegant illustrations of
leading events in American history.
The series entitled picturesque Eu-
rope" comprises illustrations OF the
grandest and most interesting scenery
OF various European countries.
The literary contents of the Aldine
are in keeping with the art embellish-
ments, and comprise original and select
stories, poetry, historical and biograph-
ical sketches, ETC., with reviews in each
number of Current Literature, Art,
Music, and the Drama.
1t is issued fortnightly, and to sub
scribers only, at the rate of 80 cents per
copy Tor the volume of "A numbers.
