Jackson, March IS, 1876.

JachSbii, 10, lSbO.
GENTLEMEN: In regard to your
suggestion, l bag leave to say that,
in consequence of the election of
last November, | found myself con-
fronted with hostile Legislature,
and cmbrassed and bafficd in my en-
deavors to carry out my plans for
the welfare of the state and of my
party l had resolved, therefore,
TO resign my office as Governor Of
the state of Mississippi. But mean
while, proceedings of Impeachment
wore instituted against me, and, of
course. | could not and would not
retire from my position under the
lmputation of any charge affecting
my honor or integrity. For the
reasons indicated, | still desire to
escape burthens which are by no
possibility OF public usefulness and
il the articles of impeachment pre-
scented against me were not pend
ing and the proceedings were DIS
missed, ! should feel at liberty to
carry ont my desire and purpose of
esignatIcn.
| am very truly, yours,
ADELBERT AMES.

It Is proposed 10 sell the GOV.
errors Mansion. This is a good
idea, for the amount annually ex-
pended to keep it in repair is more
than sufficient to pay the salary Of
tho Executive and the rent of a
house. Sell the Mansion by all
means. 1t is an expensive institu-
ton, and there is no just reason why
our people should be taxed to keep
up > costly aim "a show, when the
masses live in poor or moderate

The Nashville Evening Nail asks:
How is it that the Republican pa
pers make no comment about the re-
cent convention of colored men
held in Washington, which repre-
scented nearly every State in the
Union, and which pledged itself
to the support of the Democratic
party? No wonder the colored peo-
pie are trim. Of party which has
always used them rs tools to its own
advancement and their correspond
ing injury.

A BULLDOG PREVENTS A WoMAN's
REsCUE.-A monstrous thing happened
in Raleigh, North Carolina, recently, in
which bulldog fought people who tried
to rescue an idiotic woman from q 6 lie
which was consuming the house in which
she had been placed for safe keeping.
Mary Ann Dolan was the daughter of
Pat. Dolan, proprietor Of the College
Hotel. She was an idiot, and was kept
in sort Of coop in an clubhouse used as
a kitchen. She was twenty five years of
age. The cook had gone out, leaving
the door fastened and the idiot in her
coop. In some way or other fire broke
out, but the woman might have been
saved had not big and ferocious bulldog
stationed himself before the door and
fought the fremen like fiend, as if
really possessed of the devil. 1t was in
vain that the men attempted to enter the
place it was impossible to do SO. The
dog would not bulge, except to snap and
fly at the fremel. The idiot woman
seemed exalted or frenzied by the fire,
and darced and sang "The Prettiest
Girl in the Country" at the top of her
voice, and as gaily as possible. Aftor
the flames were extinguished it was found
that both her legs were burned off, and
nothing remained Of her head save the
brains.

The QUACKERY BILL. - The bill to
regulate the practice Of medicine in this
State is thus epitomized in the Sonoma
Democrat 81. That no person shall
practice medicine in California who is
not licensed to do so by Board of Ex-
aminers. Each State Medical Society is
allowed to appoint its own Board Of Ex-
aminers-the Allopathists one Board, the
Homeopathists one, the Eclectics one,
and so on, and each of these Boards is au-
thorized to examine in its own school of
medicine.
2. Any person shall be regarded as
practicing medicine who shall profess
publicly to be a physician and prescribe
for the sick, or who shall append to his
name the letters IN. D." But nothing
in the Act shall be construed to prohibit
students from prescribing under the su-
pervision of preceptors, or to prohibit
gratutous services in cases of emergency.
3. Itinerant venders of drugs shall
pay q monthly license of 500.
A. Who so shall practice medicine OF
surgery in California without being au-
thorized by one of these Boards Of Ex-
aminers shall be punished by a fine OF
not less than $50 nor more than $500, or
by imprisonment in the county Jail not
less than thirty nor more than three hum
dred and sixty-fve days, or by both such
fine and imprisonment, for each and eve
ry offense. The penalties provided by
the Act shall not be enforced until after
December 81, 1876, so that the law can
not be enforced for eight months yet.

SEyERE.-Representative John Han.
cock, of Texas was, though Democrat
Union man, and served in the national
army during the civil war. He visited
New Hampshire recently, and stumped
that State in the interests of his party
While so engaged he was frequently
greeted with the sight of Republican
demonstrations. A common motto was
this: " New Hampshire respects the
John Hancock of 1716, not the John Han
cock of 1876, now making rebel speeches
in this State. This was bad enough, but,
returning to Washington, he finds that
the succession to his seat has been pre-
empted in advance of the vacancy and for
an ex-rebel soldier. He is coolly told he
must give way, and on the ground of his
rivals services to the Confederacy Han
cock helped to destroy. Like poor Dog
Tray, he is in bad company, and must
take the consequences. s.-Repubiic.

A BoNANZA.-The testimony before
the Chinese Commission is developing
some things which should make us blush
for our people. Chinese have some jus
tifcation for being nation of thieves if
they are robbed by every body with whom
they are brought in contact, and such
would appear to be the case in San
Francisco. The special police officers
for the Chinese quarter, who are paid by
the Chinese themselves, make from one
hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars
week and it is no longer matter of
wonderment that this position is eager
ly sought after-somewhat after the
fashion in which politicians sought the
office of sheriff in the balmy days of the
Foreign Miners License. No police of.
ticer could have such fat picking as that
unless he was conveniently blind to vice,
crime and immortality when it was prac-
ticed by those from whom he drew his
salary. 1t is time these bonanza situa
tions were done away with.

A LONG SENTENCE.-In San Fran
cisco Judge Dwinelle has sentenced
Louis Losse to the State Prison for the
period Of forty-fve years. Losse is the
German who beat and kicked his wife to
death in that city. Terrible as was his
crime, the punishment, if he lives to re-
ceivs it (Which we think doubtful as he
is now a man of middle age is surely
equal to the offence. We may say 1t is
imprisonment for life for there are but
few of the multitude who arrive at the
age Of manhood who can hope to add
forty-fve years to it. OF the generation
of middle-aged men who are living to-
day not one in twenty will live to see the
hour when this sentence expires. The
world has no use for wife-murderers, and
the walls of a prison are the safest place
for them.

A PLACER COUNTY MYsTERY.-Re.
Gently, in Placer county, some miners
sluiced away the ground in which many
years ago prospecting shaft had been
sunk. AT the bottom, covered with the
dirt which had caved down from the
sides were found the bones of a man with
the remains of what had been bundle
of blankets and pair of boots. Whose
remains these were could not be conJect-
tured. Perhaps the item mentioning this
d'seovery may meet in its travels the eye
of one who, weary with long waiting has
sought the aid of the press and sought
the Information Wanted" in one OF
those notices peculiar to the papers of
California. But to her it will be no in
teligence of the lost one for ''hope springs
eternal in the human breast" and the
belief will cling to her heart that though
Others may have passed over the dark
river he will yet return.

A PRESIDENTIAL VETO. - President
Grant has vetoed the bill reducing the
salary OF his successor in office to $25, 900
q year. The veto will meet with hearty
and general approval. The bill was got
up solely as piece of Democratic bum
combe, knowing we'll that Ms Grant had
signed the bill increasing the salary he
could not consistently put his name in
approval of one to reduce it again. Evi-
IDENTIFY whatever hope the Democrats may
at one time have entertained OF electing
their Presidential candidate has been in
continently "squelched," or they would
not have limited ut diminuton of his
pay, but the opportunity to make little
cheap political capital was too good to be
let slip. The idea Of great nation OF
forty millions of people paying its head
the pitiful allowance which was made
for one-twefth that number eighty years
ago is ridiculous, and we are surprised
that the bill passed the Senate.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

BURNING IN EFFIGY.-The people
of Tuolumne are incensed at Governor
Irwin for the reason that he "pocketed"
the bill 10 aid in the construction of a
branch railroad into that county. We
do not admire that course Of procedure
il savors too much of the mob spirit
And, after all, who are the parties to
blame? We say not Governor Irwin,
but the Legislature itself. 1t has fallen
into a practice which would be more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance, for the Legislature TO pass
scores of bills, some of which are not
read except by title in the closing days of
the session, and throw the responsibility
of bad laws upon the Executive. If the
Legislature had done its duty instead of
dallying along ".putting in time" all
needful laws could have been presented
TO the Governor for his signature in am
pie time for him to give them an exam
iDation when, if they proved objection
able he could bave made that fact known
to the Legislators. But when as in the
present case, an important measure is
kept back until almost the last minute
and then rushed through with scores OF
others, giving no time Tor the necessary
examination, if that bill is pocketed
those members interested have no one
but themselves to blame. Important To-
cal bills should be introduced early in
the session. then there is fair opportuni-
ty for fair scr rutiny by each branch of the
law-making power. We rather admire
the Governor for the act, though it it had
been presented TO him in season we should
have held it as his duty to sign the bill
And the method adopted by the Tuolum-
ne people to show their disapprobatior
does not help their case in our estimation

TEST 1T WITH HM.-Dr. j. M. Mo-
reno, San Francisco blood, being sepa-
rated from his wife who has instituted
proceedings to obtain divorce from
him, inveigled her into house and
beat her SO terribly that for while il
looked as though a more serious charge
than wife-beating would be brought
against him. Her condition has now
so much improved that she will be able
to go into court and give testimony in
regard to the matter. AS the constitu-
tionalty of the new law furnishing bat
terry has been questioned, it would prob
ably be as well to make this fellows
case test one.
