The Executive Contingent Fund

The Legislature should take the mat
ter in hand, as to the manner of the ex-
penditure of the Executive Contingent
Fund. The frittering away of SO, 900
annually, in the manner shown in the fol-
lowing items, taken from the Governors
annual report, is getting too monotonous
and oppressive to be endured. The luxury
of-an Executive Mansion can better be
with than to allow the eontin-
uance of such an extravagant waste of
the money of the bowling tax payers:

REMEMBER that it is not the impeach
ment OF Ames that is to give offense tc
the Radical managers they care NOTHING
ABOUT INN. When in the Senate, he was
snuooed as an interloper, who came with q
c., certificate of election signed by himself.
Inc offense has already been given in
the overthrow of Radical misrule. That's

Acorn say, that, as member of tn
Legislature before the war, he himsel
voted to loan these funds to railroaC
companies? Why did he not say tina
I. the State had faithfully paid the inter
est upon them? Why did he not sa,
that, under his own RADICAL admin
istration, the land scrip donated by Con
gress to the State for educational pur
poses, since reconstruction, had beer
recklessly directed from the object of the
grant, and squandered upon that den o.
thieves and sink OF iniquity known a;
"Alcorn !" University? And when Nor
ton, in his presence, spoke of the purity OF
the Radical regime in Mississippi, why did
not Mr.. Alcorn refresh his memory with
some of the counts in the indictment
which he (Mr. Alcorn himself) drew UP
against it in 1873? Why did he not re-
mind the Indiana demagogue that of
the seven Republican State officials,
three of the number stand charged with
high crimes and misdemeanors that the
offenses of one (the GOVERNOR are so
numerous and monstrous, that they cry
aloud to Heaven; that another (the It,
Governor by connivance of the Cover
nor himself, is charged with bribery, and
that the other (the Superintendent of
Public Instruction. is under indictment
for divers forgeries committed as a
public officer? And when he speaks of
the beauties of carpet-bag fnanciering,
why was he not confronted with the fol-
lowing overwhelming testimony of its
corruptions and extravaganza set forth in
the Report of Hon. Henry Musgrove
(Republican), of January LIST, 1874:
1t will be seen on a perusal of the Audi
tors office for the last three years (Repub-
lican rule) and the present one now before
you, that in no single instance have the re-
ceipts proper reached the expenditures of
any year; but, or the contrary, the latter
nave Tar exceeded the former and hence q
debt Of considerable magnitude has been occ,,-
nautating gear after gear.
And then, why did not Mr.. AIcorn
confront him with the following figures

league, Mr. Musgrove, in the State ad-
miDistration:

THE MANSION

We would like to know what necessit,
there was for expanding two hundred
dollars for telegraphing; and we would
also like to know what the Adjutant-
Generals office had to do with the exec.
utive contingent fund, and by what au-
thorlty the Governor employed an addi-
tional clerk for the Secretary of State
when the Legislature expressly refused
to do so. If the Governor has author
lty to purchase ice at the expense of the
