We have known Mcdonnell for many

At the next State election voters will
be allowed to vote for two amendments
TO our State Constitution. One will be
for abolishing the Office of Lieutenant
Governor; the other to change the meet
ing Of the Legislature from once every
year to once every two years. The H"l-
Iy Springs SomM suggests a third
amendment. and tie people would
heartily approve it: Onr State cleo
tons occur in the odd years of the cal
endar, and the Federal elections in the
even years. A Constitutional amends
ment is required to make the State
elections correspond with those Of the
United States, so as to have no election
every other year. This periodical re
pose from political agitation, is a con-
summation greatly to be desired, and
there is no sufficient reason why it
should not be brought about.

THE last Legislature passed An act
which authorizes the Tax Collectors Of
the several counties Of this State to
bring ejectment snits for the recovery
Of real estate forfeited for taxes. Where
suits ore sustained, Collectors are re
CURED to eject parties occupying lands
held for taxes and rent out the same and
receive and pay over the rents. If your
lands are held by the State for taxes,
you had better go before the Chancery
Clerk and redeem them or you may 500

THE Mississippi Central Railroad is
to be sold on the Goth of this month,
and we presume it will be purchased by
the Illinois Central Railroad Company,
as the New Orleans, Jackson and Great
Northern Line has fallen into their

when it gets possession of the entire
line from Chicago to New Orleans we
may expect to see n of Che greatest

Two days ago Senator Lamar, being
unable to visit Mr.. Hayes, wrote him a
private letter in regard to the political
situation in the South, and deprecating
his recent course toward South Carroll
ma and Louisiana. 1t was couched in
dignifed but caustic language, and
seemed to make a deep impression on
the President for the moment, at least,
for he remarked to a friend that he
feared he had alienated Lamar from
him.-Ctactnndti Enquirer.
