The Sixth District.

By the corresp ondence in another col
umn, il will be seen that the counsel for
Lynch, the defeated candidate for Con
gress in the Sixth District, modestly asks
Gen. Chalmers, the successful candidate,
to waive the advantage resulting to him
from the failure of Lynch to serve notice
of contest within the time prescribed
by law This is asking that politeness
be stretched beyond reasonable limits.
Gen. Chalmers begs to be excused. He
has been elected by majority of several
thousand; and would be very much to
blame if having power to prevent con
test of the kind, he fails to do so in order
to soothe the vanity or crafty the cupidity
of the disconsolate darkey. Ever since
the defeat of the Infamous constitution
framed by the carpet baggers in 1868, to
perpetually enslave and plumber the
people of the State, it has been the prac
tice of the Radical spoilsmen when de-
feated at the polls, to appeal to the feder-
al power to override their verdict. 1t is
time for this game to stop.

The Penf enfiary- "A Good Meas
urc. @s

1t is a wise maxim, prove all things,
and hold fast to those that are good.
The State has made an excellent arrange
ment with the present lessees of the Pen
itentiary for four years. 1t has been
proposed to extend it ten years, on the
conditions embraced in bills introduced
by Mr.. Catchings in the Senate, and by
Mr.. Bell of Kemper in the House.
The average cost of the institution to
the State under Radical rule was annual
ly S75, 900. 1t is now seif-sustalhlng,
and by means Of the pending measure,
the Penitentiary can be rebuilt and fur
nisbed with machinery for manufacturing
purposes from the hire of the convicts
without burdening the taxpayers with a
dime of expense.
This plan is not an experiment. 1t
has been put in force by the reform party
in Alabama, Georgia and North Caro-
lima and has been attended with most
satisfactory results.
In 1872 the Republican Legislature
passed an act leasing the Penitentiary to
Mr.. E. Richardson for fifteen years giving
him bonus of SIS, 900 year to relieve
the State of the burden The bill failed
to become law by the refusal of the
Governor to sign it. From that time
until the present lease, the convict labor
has been in the hands of parties who paid
nothing to the State and besides the ex-
pense of the delivery Of convicts at the
prison was thrown upon the public Treas
ury. Under this bill the State will not
only be relieved from this last expense
| but it will receive substantial benefits
in buildings and valuable machinery fol
manufacturing of various descriptions,
including cotton bagging, wagons, agri
cultural implements, etc. The institu
ton is now in the hands of Messrs
Hamilton & Hebron, gentlemen of ap
proved capacity and efficiency, who
while treating the prisoners humanely anC
with proper discipline, are dischargins
their obligations faithfully to the State
We are convinced that the wisest thins
the Legislature can do, will be to pas
the Senate Cor the House, bill with the
least possible delay.

s,on.t GoToo Fast, Gentlemen

Holly Springs SOUTH
The session of the Legislature should
not be needlessly protracted but II VIII
he false economy to shorten 1t at the eA-
pense of necessary legislation.-.,
With more District Attorneys IN the
nav of the State than judicial DISTRICTS
there are terms of the Circuit Courts at
which no District Attorney can be pres
emf. This is too the unavoidable result
of the present state of the law. Eacn
District Attorney has assigned to HIM all
the courts of the District for which ne
was elected in 1878, and these Districts
having been change by the law OF last
winter, and the counties composing them
frequently assigned to as many as two or
three different Judges, the result is IN
many cases, conflict between the times
of the holding of the courts, which re-
ouires the same District Attorney to be
| in two or three different places at the
same time. To illustrate: the counties
of Carroll, Grenada and Yalobushaa;
were all in Judge Davis District; no"
Carroll is in the 9th District, Grenada IN
the 3rd, and Yalobusha in the End and
in each of these counties on the 4th
Monday in May Circuit Court will be
in session, and the only District Attor-
nev whose duty it is to attend them, is
Capt. FAINT of this place. A term OF
Circuit Court without the presence of
regular District Attorney is generally
somewhat of jubilee for offenders.

Proposed A nm en Id menT to the Law
Exempting the Property of
Mauu acturers from
Taxation.

Mr.. Miller, of Copiah, has introduced
the following bill
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Legis-
lature Of the State of Mississippi, That
an Act entitled an Act to encourage
the introduction and the establishment Of
factories in the State of Mississippi, APP
proved April LIST, 1872, and all Acts
amendatory thereor, or Act extending
the provisions thereof, be, and the same
is hereby so amended as not to exempt
from taXation-State, county or munici-
pal-any property of any mandatory or
manufacturing company, other than the
paid in capital stock of said companies,
their machinery for manufacturing pur-
poses, their manufactured goods, and
the buildings in which their machinery is
located, and the ground upon which such
buildings are situated, or which may be
within the necessary enclosure around
such buildings, nor shall any tax to
which any manufacturing company is or
shall be subject on account of any other
than the aforesaid description of property,
be appropriated or set apart for the ben
chit of said companies or any of them.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That
the tax collectors of the several counties
in which such manufacturing companies
are situated, or may own property, shall,
before giving to any such company
receipt for taxes as provided in the said
act of April 1st, 1872, to which this is
amendatory, collect from such company
or mandatory claiming the benefits of
said Acts or either of them, an amount
equal to the commissions of the assessor
for assessing and of the collector for col
lecting the tax on the property named in
such tax receipt.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That
such tax collectors shall pay over to the
County Treasurer of their counties, the
amount of the assessors commissions so
collected and shall retain the tax asses
sors' commissions SO collected by him as
if the tax had been collected as other
taxes are paid into the State and County
Treasures.

EXTRACT FROM SENATORIAL DEBATES.

EXTRACT FROM SENATORIAL DEBATES.
l will say this with regard to Mississippi,
thatI have not read the report entirely Il
haye looked over it more than once: but
believe with regard to Mississippi as [ be-
lieve with regard to Louisiana, that nine
tenths of the testimony taken by the gen
tleman who went there as mem Der of the
committee (not that connect HIM with any
fraud or anything of the kind) is greatly
exaggerated, and resting generally on
bare color OF truth. The worst men in the
community and in the different counties,
and in the different localities, were brought
in as witnesses, and were instigated to tell
the most hOrrid stories Dy the villains who
surrounded and controlled them. Nineteen
times in twenty they are founded in false
hood, and in every case they are exaggera-
ted.
Mr. Boutwell, have to say of Mississip-
pi, that none except Democrats were proved
to have been engaged in the commission OF
these crimes, and no party except the Dem
cratic party received any advantage from
their perpetratiOn.
Mr.. Bogy-Mr. President, it will be one
of the marYels of history, to use an ex-
preston of the Senator from Massachusetts
that in after ages, when the page of histor,
we are now making, is read, TOR the reader
TO understand and realize fully the effort
now being made by party in this country
and for party purposes to blacken and dis
grace one-haf the people of the Confed-
eracy. Sir, these crimes said to have been
committed in Mississippi by Democrats
were not committed by them. The Demo-
Gratis IN Mississippi as elsewhere, are the
peers of the Republicans all over the Uni
ted States, for morality, for honesty and
for integrity, and they yield nothing 10 the
gentleman from Massachusetts in this re-
spect.
MIR. Boutwell--I ask nothing on that
score.
Mr.. Bogy-They have been compelled to
resort 70 these measures as means of protec-
ton against the horrid and infamous gov
ernments that were sent there by the GEN
tleman and his friends to rule over them
and also to rob them. The government of
Governor Ames was disgrace to the age
not only to the State of Mississippi. but
disgrace to the nation--and those men. in
the spirit of right and in the majesty of
their manhood as Americans combined TO-
gether to vindicate their rights and to pro-
tect their property and their lives against
this infamous gOvernm ent which had been
forced upon them; and to-day, men NAV
say what they please on the floor of the
Senats, there is peace and prosperity, nav
more, there is freedom in the State of
mississippi, and the black man in that State
who is worthy Of being respected--and
there are many such--is as well respected
there, and think more so, than he would
De In massachusetts. [Applause in the gal
leries.l

Senator EsOgy, of Missouri.

The people of our State are under
lasting obligations to Senator Bogy for
his timely defense. Mississippi is voice
less in the Senate of the United States.
She was reproached in an official com
munication by no less person than the
President, with the charge that she is
governed by officials chosen by methods
that would bring "discredit on savages,
"much less civilized people," and yet
there was no one in the Senate to resent
the insult and expose the calumny.
Predicated upon false charges, an inves-
tigation of the election of the present
honest and capable administration of
Mississippi was ordered and while the
subject was undergoing discussion in the
Senate there was no voice raised in her
behalf by any person authorized to speak
in behalf of her wronged people.
Boutwell,, it will be seen, obtruded
upon the Senate while Mr.. Bogy was
speaking the other day, the remark that
" none except Democrats were proven to
" have been engaged in the commission
"of crimes" pending the election of
1875; and yet there were numerous
cases in which the responsibility for
their commission was fixed upon the
Radical leaders and their blind dupes by
witnesses whose testimony could not be
impugned. Prominent among these in
stances was the Clinton riot in which a
premeditated assault was made by a saw
age mob, and deeds of violence were
committed upon the small number of de
fenceless Democrats present, that would
have blackened even the history of the
San Domingo slaughter. Sitting in the
presence of Mr.. Boutwell, when he made
this assertion, was Senator Alcorn, who
knew and might have contradicted him
with the fact, that in his own county of
Coahoma Radical mob under the lead
OF the negro sheriff undertook to brow
beat and to silence him, a Republi-
can Senator, an old citizen, and the larg-
est taxpayer in the county, for denoun-
cling In public speech the wrongs which
the people had suffered at the hands of
their county officials. Senator Alcorn
published in the New York Tribune, at
the time, full exposition of the lawless
conduct of the mob, and placed the re-
sponsibility of the disturbance upon the
shoulders of the Radical leaders where It
properly belonged. 1t is to be regretted
that Mr.. Boutwell, was not confronted
with such unanswerable facts as these
and the hope is felt that the time is not
far distant when the fair name of our
State when assailed in that body will be
vindicated by an accredited representa-
tive of her people.
