Congress Resolution Of Adjourn
ment.

A resolution has passed the House Of
Representatives to adjourn on the 3lst
the Mississippi delegation very prop
crIy voting against it for the reason
that the public business has not been
attended to. Mr.. Tucker democrat Of
Virginia. said he had opposed the reso-
luton in committee and House, and he
meant no disrespect to his colleagues
when he said that to adjourn in the face
of a calendar Of / 200 or 800 bills, in
the face Of tariff bills reported to the
House, Congress would be wanting in
its true duty to the country if it should
adjourn in twelve business days. Gap
plause on the Democratic side.J Mr..
Hooker, Of Mississippi, contended that
Congress should not adjourn until it had
passed some law relative to the count
ing of the electoral vote; if it did 50 it
would run the risk Of unsettling all
business industries, which has been so
imperiIled when the election Of 1876
had agitated the country. Mr.. Mills
democrat Of Texas moved to commit
the resolution to the Ways and Means
Committee, with instructions not to re-
port resolution for adjournment until a
bill putting salt and paper on the free
list could be reported to the House.
This was voted down and the resolution
passed, to the burning shame Of the ma
iority who voted for it,

IT having been claimed (says the
Memphis Avalanche by some of his
friends that Mr.. Washburne invented
the idea of the Rock Island arsenal,
the Rock Islander gives a history
of the preliminary proceedings con-
nected with the establishment of this
great national work, and gives to JEFF
ferson Davis the credit of having first
suggested the idea of an armory at that
point. The Rock Islander says:
Washburnes letter to McMaster seems to
have been planned to give Washburne boost:
II is upon the subject of arsenals IN general
and Rock Island arsenal in particular, and
Mr. Washburne seeks to create an impression
that he was the author and inventor of the
surdlv incorrect Jefferson Davis long before
Washburne, suggested tins as a suitable place
for the greatest armory and arsenal in the
world, and said the time would come when
the United States would need it for that pur-
pose; and while he was secretary of war, dur
ing Gen. Pierce's admi nistration, he did more
than all others 10 preserve the island from
being stolen by squatters, or by railroad COM

S@s,ON our first page we have printed a
full report Of the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the case Of
John B. Stone, ct al, plaintiffs in error,
vs.. State of NIississippi-a suit brought
by the State for the purpose of suppress
ing the lottery company known rs THE
Mississippi Agricultural, Educational
and Manufacturing Aid Society" The
decision is in favor Of the State. The
Court holds that the act Of the
State Legislature, making it unlawful
to conduct lottery in the State Of Mis-
sissippi,, was constitutional and valid.
The decision was based on the ground
chiefly that although the lottery compa-
ny was duly chartered, the Legislature
had no authority to bargain away the
police power of the State, and that lot
teries being demoralizing in their effects,
affecting the public morals, the right to
stop them was governmental, and TO be
exercised by those in power at their dis
erection: that any one who accepts a lot
terry charter "gets, in legal effect, moth
ing more than a license to continue on
the terms named for a specified time,
unless sooner abrogated by the sovereign
power of the State

the guidance of his office-holders
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
Washington, June p, 1877.
SIR: | desire to call your attention to the
following paragraph in q letter addressed
by me to the Secretary of the Treasury, on
the conduct to be observed by the officers
of the general government in relation to the
elections:
"No officer shall be required or permitted to
take mart az the Haanagen3eRt Of political organ
cations, ca1ecuses, coarentioRs, or election cam
paiqns. The right to vote and to express
their views on public questions, either orally
or through the press, is not denied, provided
it does not interfere with the discharge of
their official duties. No assessments for
political purposes on officers or subordinates
should be allowed."s
This rule is applicable to every depart
ment of the civil service. 1t should be I'M
derstood by every officer of the general gov
eminent, that he IS expected to conform has
conduct to its requirements.
Very respectfully,
r. B. HAYES.
In open defiance of this order, nearly
every prominent Mississippi office-holder
under the Administration, was an active
participant in the late Republican Con-
vention. The leader of the forces on
one side of the Presidential contest was
James Hill, the Internal Revenue Col
lector. From every quarter of the
State, his subalterns came:
Like hounds they answered to the huntsman's
And where he led, the duteous pack would
follow.
But leading his pack in the Conven-
ton was not all. So well was it under
stood between himself and Sherman to
whom the President originally issued
the above order, that the pretended inhi-
bition Of federal officers taking part in
conventions, and the management of
political campaigns, was all CANNON,
that he signed the following letter to
the Secretary himself, recommending
that one of the henchmen be rewarded
for his services in the convention
JACKSON, Mss, May g. 1880.
