burning of the Phoenix. Then 10.
Eakens, Esq, stepped upand sued both
parties for the destruction of his prop
erty (his interest in the hotel for 81, 400.
The suit can only be maintained by es-
tablished facts as charged in the indict-
ment for arson. Thus it may happen
hat the facts of burning the Phoenix
may be brought out first on a civil suit.

The COwar6's Cry.

In the Senate, on the 18th inst, Sen.
ator Spencer asked that a committee be
appointed to investigate the Alabama
election, but his request was not grant
ed. Every time the scoundrels are
beaten they cry murder" ''fraud,"
Intimidation" and ask for a commit
tee to be appointed to investigate mat~
tiers. Will the people remember that
each investigating committee costs over
$40, 900, and that they pay it? The
Radicals, who know nothing but ex-
t~ravagance, always call for the commit
tees. If every man will his do duty next
November, we will deprive the Radicals
of the power to appoint committees
to investigate elections, at the expense
of the people, for the benefit of their
and sinking party. If the Rad
icals have a majority in Alabama, Mis-
and Louisiana, as they claim.
why, in the name of all that is holy,
they protect themselves and vote
as they please? If they IRE cowardly,
children. they are incapable of
a State, and should be kicked out
Of power.

A Repablicau'S View.

A New York San reporter recently
interviewed u Mississippi Republican
in Washington, who spoke at length
upon the majority report of the recent
Investigating Committee. He saidthat
Boutwell, had made an ass of himself
in desiring to prove too much. He is
convinced that a much more telling re-
port might have been accomplished had
no attempt been made to make out the
Mississippi Legislature an Illegal body,
and so disqualify Lamar from entering
the Senate. He says that it is bound
to fail, for even Ames has had to admit
that a quorum of the State Legislature
was legally elected, and that being the
case, they were, under the Constitution,
as absolute judges of the remainder's
title to their seats as is Congress to de-
eide similar questions in regard to its
own organization. This, he says, is the
fatal spot in the report, and any talk
that Ames was illegally forced to resign
is sheer nonsense, not borne out by
facts. He says that Ames recognized
this Legislature by sending his mes
sage to it, and when articles Of i'm
parchment were preferred against him,
he sent to members of the Legislature
and told them If they would give him q
chance to retire honorably, he would dc
so, and that in case of their withdraw
ing articles of impeachment he would
resign. This was done. II there had
been a ghost of a show for Ames, and
he had had an idea that he was being
Illegally coerced, he would have started
for Washington by next train after Fed
eral aid. AS it was, he was only toe
glad to escape without being made to
pay the penalty Of his crimes.

Knight Erranary Re-Estnb.
isfset.

We had supposed that the days OF
Knight errantry were over, but such is
not true. There is a crazy old fellow
up North, Peter Cooper by name, that
would make the old Spaniard, Don
Ouixote, hang his head in shame. He
imagines that the country is filled with
giants, who hide in gold cellars, and
with his faithful body-guard, S. F.
Carey, he has started in search of them,
determined to free all held by them as
prisoners. After the 7th of November
the valiant knight will discover that he
has been laboring under a severe at
tack of monomania.

send HIS TayIOr.

Hons. d. G. Anderson and j. r.
Thompkins, Of Mobile, Ala, have con-
scented to aid in organizing the canvass
in This State this fall CANT our sister
State send over Col. Taylor, also? In
the canvass last year he did more to
blister the backs of the Radicals in
Mississippi than any speaker in The
field. If Col. Taylor will come over we
don't believe the Radicals would at
tempt to organize. Certain it is, that
none of their speakers would be around
when he spoke. They all hate i'm,
hut none would dare assail the great
lion. Send us Taylor.

Remember The Sabbath. etc.

Vicksburg and Meridian played a
game of base ball last Sunday week on
the island opposite Vicksburg. Such
conduct on Sunday is disgraceful and
calls for the ~severest punishment. AS
the island is now 1--WE presume it is, the
having changed it's channel,) the
property of Mississippi, the Sheriff Of
Warren county would have done a COM
act by arresting every person
engaged in that base game. Let the
grand jury look after them.
