The amendment to the constitution of Mis-
Governor has got fearfully mixed up, and it
Is very difficult to say even now how it has
resulted. The vote on the amendment was,
for the abolition Of the office Of Lieutenant
Governor 1880; against it 1898, or more
than three to one and majority of 33,O35 in
favor Of the amendment. This would seem suf-
ficient to make the amendment law. 1t is
not, however. The average vote for represen-
tatives throughout the State was 99,71S An
amendment to become law in Mississippi
must receive majority of all the votes cast,
and this majority is 49,76O. The amendment
therefore is apparently lost by 1880 too few
votes.
There is one county yet to hear from on the
amendment, Bolivar; while in Newton, Chick
asaw and Leake counties the vote was not
properly certified to. When these returns
are received and properly made out they
may change the result as to this amendment;
but should they not Judge Sims will be placed
in very nice and delicate position. He has
just been elected to the office of Lieutenant
Governor; at the same election a large ma
iority Of the people who voted on this amend
ment voted to abolish the office, and the
only thing that prevents this abolition is
the informality Of a few of these votes. Here
Is a Gordian knot for Judge Sims to unite
There is no doubt as to the other amend
ment, making the sessions of the Legislature
biennial. This obtained 55,796 votes in its
favor to 41O1 against

The figuring for President still nobly goes
on, and Northern and Western newspapers
display untold zeal in discovering supposed
Republican States. We notice that the Phila-
delphia Press follows the Cincinnati Gazette
in giving Louisiana to the Republicans; but
whereas, the Gazette gave us some Southern
company in this terrible misery to wit.

the "solid South" 1t is true it donates In

How much is a carpet-bagger worth, that
| is, how much will he sell out for? is becoming
most interesting question, in view of
the action of Conover and Patterson in the
Senate. The Charleston Ne,es and Courier,
which has been close observer of the trial
of the Radical thieves in South Carolina has
| some very interesting statistical tables of the
exact amount required to bride the various
members of the last Republican Legislature
of that State. This table shows the exact
sum paid by Patterson to each Senator and
Representative for Ibis vote. c. S. Minort,
Representative from Richland, is the highest
on the list, getting $500; Senator Maxwell,
Of Marlborough, got $500; Senator Aiken
and Representatives Simpkins and Barker,
$1,000 each. The average price paid, however,
was only $500; while one Representative.
Everidge Cain Of Abbeville, sold himself for
only $780, Four members very sensbly de-
clined money, and preferred making special
agreement with Patterson by which they
were TO get certain Federal offices for their
votes, avoiding thereby, as they thought, the
possibility of being brought up before court
of justice for bribery.
Altogether, Patterson bought his election
dearer than our Kellogg. Kellogg refused to
recognize any distinction, and paid $3.50 per
head for all legislators, whether Senators or
Representatives, black, white or mulatto
scalawag or carpet-bagger. Patterson, on
the other hand, recognized distinctions of
rank in the party, and bargained and paid

there Is no little excitement among the ne
Groeg of that State In consequence. Ohio. it
may be noted, has the largest colored popu-
Iation OF any Northern State 1t Is to the
COlored Ohio vote alone that the Republicans
owe their success in elections since 1868
The Republicans have generally been COM
peiled TO recognize the vote, but even while
recognizing it they have always shown a bit
Der prejudice and dislike to the negro, and
have been exceedingly reioiced whenever
they could throw him overheard. At the late
0aection, for instance, the negroes were given
une place on the Cuyahoga (Cleveland) county
ticket. The county was carried by the Re-
publicans by large majority, and every Re-
publican candidate elected but one, and that
one was, of course, the negro representative.
This naturally aroused some excitement
among the colored people of Cleveland, but
= later occurrence at the same place has
made them perfectly wild with rage. 1t has

United States steamer Huron of Kitty Hawk,
q few days since, he is directly responsible.
Such is the unanimous verdict of the North
ern press and people, Democratic and Repub-
lican alike. That the whole management Of
the department under Robson was corrupt,
that the money pretended to be spent in the
building and repairing OF vessels of war was
divided between the Secretary and his pals,
just as tn Tweed gang divided out the spoils
of New York, has never been denied even by
his party associates Indeed his successor.
Thompson, a Radical Republican. has just
reported to Congress that he found the ae-
counts of the department. when turned over
to him, In fearful disorder, and deficit Of at
least So, 000,0 900 unaccouDted for. OF the yes
sells built by Robson and his gang, large
majority were found unseaworthy on their
first trip. and ordered back to the docks to be
repaired. The late Huron was an unfortunate
exception; she was so much stronger than
any other of Rnhesnn's build and having
been built only three years ago. it was
thought that she could with safety make
short voyage off the coast of Virginia.
Thus she started; q storm came up, the
vessel was lost, and with it the lives of over
a hundred victims of Robeson's populations
A man-of-war, supposed to be the strongest
of vessels, able to weather the storms of mid
ocean, and to defy alike the elements and
shot and the shell Of the enemy, yielded to
q storm that did not sink a single coastwise
vessel.
Such is Robeson's latest thanksgiving gift
to the nation In this age, when the prose-
cutiOn of dsfaultjnp and thievinp officials is
called persecution, Robeson's populations
may probably escape punishment, but it is
doubtful, when they beget murder also,
whether the people will be quite so quiescent
and easy under them. The architect of the
Ashtabula bridge, the faulty building of
which brought death on a score of people,
was indicted for manslaughter. How much
grander a criminal, then, is the Secretary
of the Navy, who sends hundred brave
sailors to the bottom of the ocean because he
has stolen the money he should have spent
in making the Huron seaworthy.

New York is considerably excited over
= case OF cremation that has just taken
place In that city The child of one Kircher
oiled last week. An undertaken was engaged
~ take charge Of the funeral and all the ne
C1Hsary arrangements made for that cere-
mOny. At this iuncture, difficulty arose as
10 the place OF interment Of the child The
fAther and mother were of different religions,
UnA q Protestant the other Jewish. One of
them therefore wanted the child buried in the
Lutheran cemetery, the other in the Jewish
graveyard. The controversy got so hot that
Kircher resolved that there should be no
MINERAL at all, and the undertaken
who had been engaged for the occasion was
somewhat surprised to have his coffin re
&arned with the remark respectfully de-
0lined." This undertaken, one Kolb, became
suspicious at this conduct, and thinking that
some sneaking rival had underbid him,
resolved TO wait and watch. He waited and
watched In vain. No coffin ever came out of
That house. Kolb accordingly went around to
mo police station, told his tale and demanded
that the matter should be investigated. The
police were sent around to Kirchers house
and an investigation made. Kircher at
unce confessed. He was in the paint business,
had large furnace in his factory. When
Ills wife and he differed as to the burial of the
y{hiId. he had resolved to cremate it. had put
ia tin box and baked it to a powder in the
A1rnace.
when this became known there was con-
kderable excitement on the subject and not a
l1tt1e denunciation of Kircher among his
1nafuhbors. Kircher claimed that he had done
notaing wrong; that he had a right to Gre
mate his own child.
The matter was left to the police and Board

- legal in New York; that there was no
~ against it, none declaring the mode in
h1ch human remains should be disposed of.

1t was the South that voted the repeal of
the resumption act, the other day, not the
West. The West was almost equally divided
on the question, the resumptionists having q
