THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION,


The conviction that frauds were perpetra-
ted at the late election, gathers strength by
comparison ofthe returns with those OF pre-
ceding elections.-Gov. Ames' Message.
The figures with which Senator Morton
was supplied by Mississippi official
to prove his charge of fraud and violence
against the successful party in our cleo
ton, and to justify federal interference
in the affairs of the State without the au-
thority of the Constitution, when the
facts are properly understood, fail OF
their purpose entirely. The election
statistics, which he parades, are tabulated
as follows:

THE bill introduced in the House, on
the 18th inst, by Hon. 6. W. Harper, OF
Kinds, entitled can Act to restore in
dependent journalism in the State of
Mississippi" which was referred to the
Committee on Printing, provides for the
repeal of the act of April II, 1873, and
that of April 3, 1874, and one paragraph
of that of February 25th, 1875. The
acts referred to embrace the legislation
which was designed by the Repub-
licans to crush the Independent press
of the State, and to build up and
support a Radical press at the ex-
pense of the widows, orphans and
others having business in the courts.
! The legitimate papers of the State ask no
legislation in their favor. They ask only
that there shall be no legislation against
them, and hence desire the repeal of the
unjust and iniquitous laws enumerated.
The passage of Mr.. Harper's bill would
satisfy the editors and publishers of the
Democratic-C Conservative press without
exception, and we hope it will be tavora-
bly, acted upon, and at an early day.

COMMENTING upon the opinion of
Gen. Grant, as expressed in the note OF
his Secretary of State, that the abolition
of slavery in Cuba g is prime and in
" dispensable requisite for the paciica-
g ton and future happiness of that isl
" and" the Chicago Times suggests that
the sublime peace and matchless pros.
"perity which have followed emancipa.
GO ton in some Southern States of this
q" Union-the lovely scenes of Grant
parish, New Orleans, Coushatta and
4" Vicksburg-are supposed to. have fur.
" nished the irresistible arguments where
"with the President and his Secretary
Z" have been convinced Of this necessity. -
But the Times must remember that il
was not so much the abolition of slavery
in these States that has brought on the
trouble to which it refers, as the hell
that was organized by the carpet-bag
agents Of the Radical party, and its mis-.
management and intermeddling with
their affairs after that event
