Reading Qua she VagabOnd EI-
ememt.

The Hartford Post, the leading Re-
publican paper in New England, insists
that the National Committee of its party
shall be purified of the inOdorots Ell
ements that make it a disgrace to the
party" Dad for the African clement
And it adds that there are men on this
Committee at present, especially at the
South, standing as representatives OF the
party, who have proved themselves I'M
worthy of confidence or respect. Dad
for the vagabond element.) 1t says
moreover, IF any State delegation SO
far forgets its duty as to present for re-
election any one of the fellows whose
names stink in the nostrils of the people,
the Convention should exercise its pre-
rogative of sending the nomination back
for revision" Now, this is all well
said but might not the inodorous
African element and the disreputable
vagabond element whose names
emit delightful efhuvlum, retort by
pointing to the corruption which univer
sally prevails among the Northern ano
Western Radical leaders, as evidenced
by the New York Custom-house ano
the widespread whisky revenue robber
les which have been perPetrated by the
very Amounted of the Administration
Didn't the lightning strike within tive
feet of Grant himself when it took down
his man Babcock? Well may the vaga
bonds say, let the publication begin il
the sanctuaries of the Republican party
which are foul as whited sepulchre, be
fore you begin to turn up your eyes witt
holy horror at the Pearl River Naviga

The conviction of Mckee, of the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, and the certain
ty of his sentence to the penitentiary,
deplives the Radical party and the AID
ministration of their ablest and most in
fuential supporter in the West. The
suggestion has been made by the N. Y.
Tribune, that the Administration party
will be without an organ in St. Louis,
unless it is willing to have its principal
journal edited from the penitentiary.

We are informed that the recent dis
patch from Washington City, TO the eff
feet that " the Levee Committee have
unanimously agreed to report favor
ably g ON the So, 900, OOO," appropriation
is an entire mistake. That bill is
Moneys, Of Louisiana. Mr.. Money,
of this State, a member of the
Committee, has declined to commit
himself to the proposition without
obtaining data from Mississippi which he
deems essential to proper action upon
the measure. The bill itself is unfair in
its apportionment TO Mississippi.
1t is to be regretted that the feeling
wrought by the untimely amnesty debate
renders the present a very unfavorabie
moment for urging the passage of levee
bill, or any measure which is understood
to be mainly for the benefit of the South.

ImPeachment---W the People
Say.

Never have the people of this State,
who won the victory by thirty-one thou
sand majority over fraud and mal-ad-
ministration, been so thoroughly united
in sentiment as they are for impeachlng
and removing the State officials who
have trampled upon the Constitution and
laws A correspondent from Livingston,
Madison county, writes: Every Demo-
&c ocrat,c- Conservative voter in my
q neighborhood is strongly in favor of
q the impeachment of Ames, Davis and
" Cardozo, for high crimes and INSIDE
ss ,,,oo,,ors x X ;. ;, X
q The people are not to be trifed with.
'sThey understand the situation thor
" oughly, and see the danger ahead if
Impeachment fails" Another cores
pondent, from Rankin county, who is not
given to extravagant utterances, writes !:
" A failure to impeach and remove
" Ames. destroys the future of our
g State"
The truth is, the people will feel that
they have been cheated Of their hard
earned victory, if the culprits are not
removed from the offices they have for
feited.
