A MEMORIAL. +,

A MEMORIAL from the Legislature Of Mis-
sis ippi to the Congress of the United ates
OF America in reference to the cotton tax
monsy.
That the Congress of the United States Of
America be respectfully asked to enact such
legislation as may be necessary to refund and
distribute among the various cotton producing
stats OF the Union the proceeds Of the tax
levied on, and collected from the cotton made
by the people of said cotton producing States,
and kept in the treasury Of the Uni ed States.
That to each of said cotton producing States be
refunded the amount of said money collected
from the people thereof; the same, so far as
the state of Mississippi is concerned. to be
securely invested at interest, and the interest
devoted to the use and benefit Of the common
schools of the state.
Be it further Resolved, That we make this
request and urge this measure upon the atten-
ton Of the Congress Of the United States Of
America, because we g ieYe that the way
suggested is the best manner in which the
money can be used, ina ssmueh as it is imprac-
ticable, not to say impossible to repay the
money to the persons from whom the same was
collected. We have in our State large school
population-the children not only Of our
white people, but also the children Of the
c lored people, q ] Of whom We are desirous
Of seeing blessed With good common school
education. As It IS, trey enjoy equal but
necessarily limited educational advantages. IL
is essential thai those advantages be increased,
not SO much BY enlarging the course Of study,
as By extending the school term. The term or
session Ia the country districts can last but four
months, and often in many counties in this
State falls far short Of that. This occurs not
from any hostility on the part of our people
towards the public schools but from their ina
bility to bear greater taxation than is now inn
posed upou them Should this, our request
be granted, the interest on the money collected
from our people in the years immediately sue
enable as 10 extend our school term at least
two months In every year, and thereby work
lasting good 10 our people and TO the whole
country.
Be it further Resolved That copy Of this
memorial be sent BY the Secretary of State 70
each Of the Senators and r pFesentaiivcs in
Congr IS from the State Of Mississippi, to be by
them presented, and laid before the Congress Of
the Uni ed States Of America.

n. Y. TIMES: Ifthe star route conspira-
tors have "a club to break down the prose
cution,' as they have boasted, they will
need it very soon. The trial is expected to
begin promptly, and the attorneys for the
Government will oppose all attempts to
postpone it beyond the first of May at the
iurthest. The indictments make tolerably
strong case, although some of the Congress
men who have been eagerly protesting from
day to day that nothing would ever come Of
the trials will probably be dissatisfied now.
Perjury and conspiracy to defraud are at
the bottom Of the whole business of the star
route thieves.

SENATOR D. W. VooRHEEs, proposed
amendment to the Constitution reads
as follows: "All Postmasters, Revenue
Collectors, Judges, MarshaIs, and Uni
"ted States District Attorneys for the
Dis trict Courts of the United States,
"shall be elected by the people of the
Estates in which their duties are to be
performed; and they shall be elected
''in such manner as the Legislatures of
''the States shall provide brovide by
'law." To elect these officers by the
people would be great step in the
practical recognition Of the doctrine
that under our theory of govern
msnt they are the legitimate source
of power, and that it can be more
safely lodged with them than else
where. Besides, it would have a de-
centralizing tendency.
