It is probable that the nomination
of Packard to be Collector of the
Port of New Orleans will be sent to
the Senate soon after the reassem-
bling OF Congress. In case the ap
po.ntment is not made, it is authen-
tically said that the Republican
Senators will take Packard to their
indignant bosoms and make him
Sergeant-at.Arms of the Senate in
place of French, against whom con-
siderable dis satisfaction exists.

The Mississippi Legislature is to
assemble in regular session Monday.
Among the first acts of That body
we hope to see the repeal OF the
present unjust and unreasonable
statute fixing the rates for the pub
LEGATION of legal advertisements.
Let the Legislature repeal this act
aud place legal printing back on the
old and only proper basis, i. e., per-
hitting publishers to charge the
same per square for legal publica
tons as they do for any and all
other transient advertisements
No other agency was SO earnest, so
dislnterested and so potent for the
overthrow of the corrupt carpet
bag government of Mississippi, as
was the press. The only reward II
recei eed at the hands of the Legis
lature of '76 was the enactment of d
law fixing the rates of its compensa
ton for legal printing at figure
! which meant nothing short of star
walton. viii the Legislature of rs
correct this imposition :? We conf
IDENTIFY believe it will.

The Confederacy's Cash.

Few are aware, and many have
forgotten that the Confederate Gov
ernment, at the time of the surren~
der. had to its credit twelve millions
of dollars in the Bank of England.
The Louisville Courier Journal says !:
Hon. Richard L. Haley, of Bows
ling Green, Ky, has written the
following letter to Hon Judah I.
BENJAMIN, of London, England, with
the view of securing that distin-
ruished gentleman's Influence in
behalf of proper and equitable
distribution OF the balance now
living in the vaults of the Bank of
England to the credit of the Con-
federate Government. Mr.. Haley's
letter reads as follows:

Anew Years Greeting

In entering upon another year,
the CITIZEN desires to return thanks
to the kind friends who have so
steadfastly stood by US throughout
our connection with this Journal, as
well as TO the many new subscribers
whose names have been entered on
our books during the past twelve
months. We trust that our inter
course during the year before us
may be pleasant and profitable to
both parties, and that at its close
we may have occasion to congratu-
late each other on still improving
conditions and Frightening pros
poets. We regard it as fact highly
creditable to the people of the South
that III spite of the unproftableness
of their great industries and the
tightness of the times, they so gen.
orally take newspapers and keep
themselves informed of the current
events of the day. That this is the
case i'll the several counties of this
Immediate section our books abun-
dainty testify. We may say III no
tapirit of Boosting that there is hard
Iy neighborhOod in any OF these
counties in which subscribers of the
CITIZEN are not to be found.
We shall endeavor to make our
Journal worthy of the favor thus be-
slowed, and confidently hope that
1t will at the end of The new year
I fully retain the measure OF support
now extended to it.
We have what VT regard as good
reasOos for the hope that the year
1873 will be one of notable progress
in the South. 1t is evident that
there has been Improvement from
the operations of the closing year.
1t is shown in the reduction of debts,
in the more abundant supply OF
home raised home comforts, and
in the growth and activity of new
industries among us. But for the
unfortunate condition of the nation
al finances, this improvement would
be more manifest; but all must suf
fer from dearth of currency and a
general dlstrust of securities. Hap
PLY the South is not so much ln>
volved in the financial system as
other sections, and it is the grower
of products that must command
, cash at all times, for without them
many millions of capital throughout
the civilized world would be idle,
and industries employing many
millions of people would perish
Even, then, if the policy OF contrac~
ton is persisted in, the people oil
the South can evade many of its
hardships aud first recover from its
distress which it must produce. We
candidly believe that ours is to-day
the most solvent section of the Uion.
and that the time is not far distant
when this fact must be recognized
in our improving condition and
increasing prosperity.
1t shall be the earnest effort Of
tho CITIZEN to aid and sustain oul
people to the utmost of its ability
| and with this promise we wish them
} each and all happy and prosperous
} NEW YEAR.

Referring to the recent salt riot
at San Elizario Texas, full account
of which we published two weeks
since, the New York Sun says:
The three black crows have been
outdone at San EIizario. A few
DAYS since, Gov. Hubbard sent word
to Washington that among the rlot~
ers were "15O Mexicans from Mexi
co y 1t is announced from Sheri-
dams headquarters that only five
rioters have been identified as Mex
leans, and =" it is thought there were
not over ten from that sIde." With
communication easy as from Brook
lyn to New York, it is quite pro5a-
Die that five or ten Mexicans may
have been there when the riots
broke out. But Gov. Hubbard's
first story of "Mexican invasion"
has moderated to $50 MeXicans from
Mexico, and now has been ruthlessly
cut down to five; just as the moi
which was at first ] 800 strong has
dwindled to $50, and the "six ram
gers and some regulars" who had
fallen prior to the surrender become
according to the army dispatches
one man killed in the fighting.

RICHARD T. HALEY"
After an estrangement of twelve
years, Senators Conk!ing and Blame
have kissed and made friends,
This, we presume, was necessltated
by the fact that the one needed the
other, and that unless they united
their forces and pnlled together, the
Democrats would get the upper mama
of them, It is kind of sickening to
read the account of how affecting IL
all was /; what COnkling said ana
what Blaine said, and then how they
sat down afterwards and had an
"animated" conversation. Wonder
If the correspondents suppose that
this sort of stuff is of any interest to
the country -? What is either Blaine
or Copklipg, outside of their own
little petty ambitions and prejudlces.
Neither one is a great man, ana
neither will ever be President. Ihls
Office is what both are after, but II
is one that will recede further and
further the more they reach -out TO
grasp it.
The reconciliation of Blaine and
Conkling is one of the curious re-
suits brought about by the meagre'
ness of the Republican majority IN
the Senate. Had that been so large
that the former would not have
needed the latter, nor the latter the
former. there would have been NJ
making up. and the hatred of years
would still continue to be indulgeC
in, But Conkling found that h'
could not accomplish his purposes
against the administration withou
Blaine, nor Blaine without COnkllng
aud so they concluded it would b'
wisdom to make up and see if boil
could not do what each singly wa
unable to accomplish. Aud this il
all there is or was of tho ''recOncili
ation." There was a selfish motive
at the bottom Of it on either side
and we have thus far failed to per
ceive where the affecting part CONES
in.

Vicksburg Herald, Jan. 1: This
morning, about 3 O'Clock, fire was
discovered i'll Ries's stable, on China
street. The stable burned very fast,
and the flames were soon eommuni-
Gated to a stable in the rear of it
that fronts on Walnut street. Ray-
nolds' marble shop and a One>stOry
brick building of ]. @. Arnold on
China street, also took fire. Mrs.
DeKnight's frame residence on
Walnut street, was in flames, but
the firemen succeeded in saving 1t,
and stopping the progress of the
fire in that direction. Everything
combustibie about the stable was
burned, and only the walls left
standing. The marble shop was
badly damaged, and Arnold's build
ing consumed and here the fire was
checked on China street. Several
horses and mules were burned to
death. The stables belonged to the
Walker estate, and we're insured Tor
$1,000. The efficiency of the Fire
Department has again been proved,
for they put out the fire very quick
lIy, and but for their eXertiOns the
whole block would have been burns
ed.
