When the carpet-baggers got control
of the State Government, in pursuance OF
their systematic game of robbery in all
matters that could be touched by legisla-
ton, they adopted the code of the ST.
Gillian bandit: they levied contributions
upon everybody that came in their way,
and upon all classes and every kind of
business indiscriminately. Especially
did they apply it to the Insurance COM
panies, some thirty odd of which were do
ing business in the State. These COM
panies had money and the wreckers
made them 'sshell out" The pretense
was that deposits were needed to secure
policy holders, but as the public had
been getting along without cause of
complaint under the former laws, it was
shallow falsehood. The real object of
the bandits was to obtain the use Of the
money of the Insurance companies for
themselves; and they were not slow in
putting it into their own pockets. On
this highway robbery plan, several hum
dred thousand dollars were seized and
expended.
In addition to this seizure, ex
tortionate rates of taxation were
imposed. These taxes operated OPP
pressively upon the unfortunate policy
holders by increasing the premium rates,
and have gradually driven the Insurance
companies out of the State. The num-
Der doing business here is not one-half
what it was before the confscating
scheme was put into operation and the
revenue derived from that source has
been reduced to a sum so insignificant
that it does not pay the interest on the
deposits that are in the Treasury to the
credit of the companies.
Why this Radical monstrosity has been
permitted to remain untouched as some
thing sacred like the ark of the covenant,
passeth our comprehension. 1t was a
robber scheme to begin with. 1t has
dried up the revenue from the Insurance
companies 1t has operated cruelty upon
the poor policy holders. Statesmen and
philanthropists hold that insurance, espec-
tally Life insurance, should be encour-
aged rather than diminished, and the
business ought to be subjected to as little
taxation as is consistent with an equal
division of the burdens of Government.
Life insurance is the method by which
frugal persons seek to make provisions
for their families after their death.
We do hope and pray that our Legis-
lature will not adjourn without giving
the subject serious attention; and taking
at least one step in a much needed re
form. Let the deposit system as to Life
companies, be abolished, and the priv
lege tax they are required to pay, be re-
duced to reasonable sum.

The Iowa House of Representatives
have passed resolutions instructing the
Senators and requesting the Represen-
tatives from that State to vote for sthe
silver bill. The following is an extract:
The silver dollar having been a legal
unit of value from the foundation of the
Federal Government until 1873, the laws
under which its coinage was suspended
should be repealed at the earliest possible
day and silver made, with gold, legal
tender for the payment of all debts both
public and private; that the present volume
of legal tender currency should be main
tanned until the wants OF trade and COM
merce demand its further contraction; and
that copy of these resolutions be forward
ed TO our Senators and Representatives.
The Democrats voted for the resolution
the Republicans against. These, and
other straws, show the way the wind is
setting in the great West.

General Furlong has appointed Hon.
r. n. Miller, the very worthy and
efficient Representative from Copiah
county, an Associate to collect funds
and receive contributions from the mem
bers of the House for the Lee Monument
Association. Mr.. Miller is one of
the most energetic and intelligent of the
members, and from the interest which
he has manifested in collecting for the
Lee Monument, we feel satisfied that the
members of the House will contribute as
much, if not more, than the members of
the Senate, whose contributions were
forwarded to Richmond two days ago.

SENATOR KELLOGG, of Louisiana, is
reported as saying: ",It is a curious
coincidence, that l should, on the very
day that Anderson was convicted, be
called upon to pay Chicago bank 500,
900, the money that made Hayes Presi-
dent of the United States" Now the
question arises, what was done with the
$4,000? What part did that sum
play in the Presidential game ? The
only reasonable inference is that it was
used to suborn witnesses and to alter the
election returns so as to change a Demo
cratic victory into Democratic defeat,
and to put into the Presidential chair,
by the vote of Louisiana, the candi-
date the people had rejected.

do what was done in 1873, and to place
