.dahone ," They have found him safe
in the arms of Kellogg, Logan and
Conkling.
Malone, who was elected by Repfb-
licans, Independents and boiling Dem
ocrats, votes with the Republicans.
Kellogg, who was not elected by any
legal organization, retains seat. The
control of the Senate passes from the
Democrats to the Republicans there
to remain, we fear, for long time.
This is res adjudicata with vengence.
If bill should be introduced in the
next Congress to "retire," or pension
ex-Presidents, at, say one-haf or one
fourth of the Presidential salary $685.
900 or So, 800 per annum,) as We
believe there will be and if we
announce now that we shall oppose
the measure, because it would be un-
Democratic and without precedent, can
we hope to beexempted from the charge
of bouncing" some Congressman who
may choose to vote for it?
The Vicksburg Herald says, 1--WE car
''see no reason why the South should
Sin any acay antagonize the President. 4"
Would the Herald consider it antagon-
izing the President if some of his APP
pointments should be opposed because
of their unftness Thomas NJ Broad
waters for Collector of Customs at
Vicksburg, for instance By the way,
just between us, not to go any further,
what does the Herald think of Thomas
as a Collector anyhow-is not that
position one of those ''local affairs"
which is of more Importance than
national politics Or to speak of larger
things, what does our contemporary
think of the nomination of Stanley
Matthews to the Supreme Court Bench
There are $4,000 men at work con-
structing new railroads in Texas and
1 900 new settlers enter her borders
day every it is said. So Texas is fairly
humming with prosperity. When an
efficient immigration scheme is put on
foot for Mississippi, she will also hum.
The Chicago Journal in speaking of
the losses of the Union forces during
the war between the States, says
"More than half a million of them
"sleep in the premature graves that
''ridge every battlefield in the sunny
"South, and half million more will 90
"through life manned from the wounds
''they received because they loved their
Country" The Confederates never
had from the commencement to the end
of the war more than 500, 900 men, in
Guiding all ranks and classes of enlist
ment. If the Journals figures are
correct, each Confederate must have
gotten his man, with more than 200, 900
killed and wounded to spare Such
record as that was never before made
by any army.
The ex-Confederates need never be
ashamed of seeing "the facts and fig
ures" of the late war in print. The
Unionists had over 2,750,000 men in
service; of these 100000 were South
erners from the border States. The
Confederates had less than 100000
men. After a war of four years in
which they killed and wounded over
1000, 600 of their adversaries they sur
rendered no more to the 2,250,000
Northerners than to the 500, 900 South
erners who were in the Union army.
These figures Gin round numbers) are
from the records now in the archives
at Washington and will stand as a
monument to the prowess and endurance
of the Confederate soldiers, for all
time.
The Legislature of Mississippi at its last
session, appropriated twenty thousand dol |
lars for the purpose of encouraging emigra-
ton and for establishing emigrant agencies
in New Orleans, New York and several
European cities; also two travelling agents
at salary of fifteen hundred dollars per
annum, and expenses paid when not ex-
ceeding forty dollars per month. The
travelling agents are under the control of
the Commissioner of Emigration, who is in
turn appointed by the Governor.
The foregoing is going the rounds
credited to the Batesville Blade. We
have examined the acts and can find
no appropriation of the sort named, and
nothing about 200 travelling agents of
any kind. Maybe it means the Legis-
lature of Texas or Missouri or MINES
sofa or some other State that is filing
up rapidly with immigrants.
