THE MISSISSIPPI CONVENTION.

The SENTINEL copies the following
editorial article from that able
journal, the Memphis Araldncbe, of
May p, because we regard it as both
sensible and judicious, showing that
the editor has studied the situation
with calmness and fair mindedness:
A feeling Of uncertainty, not to say un-
easiness, is manifested by our Missis-
sippi exchanges, in view Of the near ap-
proach Of the Constitutional Conven-
tiOn.
The sentiment in favor of Il Conven-
tion was at one time overwhelming, but
having gotten it they are very much in
the same state of mind as the man to
whom white elephant was presented on
acertain occasion, is said to have been.
1t was argued at first that the consti-
tuition needed revision in great
many important particulars, but so far
nobody seems to have a very clear idea
what these particulars are, beyond the
question of suffrage.
When convention is called to
revise the Constitution of Il State it is
to be presumed that those in favor of it
have some definite idea what changes
the convention should make, and how
they should be effected. But, as we
have said, this is not the case with
reference to the Mississippi Consti
tutional Convention.
While it is generally agreed that
something should be done to restrict
the suffrage in order to put the reins of
government, lawfully and without
fiction, in the hands of the intelligent
classes, no plan has yet been advanced
which meets with popular approval.
Hundred Of able articles have been
written and few speeches made but
no two agree. The public appears to
have decided not to attempt the forma-
ton of any plan now but to get the
wisest and best meu of the State to-
gather, give them plenty Of time to
discuss the matter and reach a de-
cision as to the best thing to do. The
prospect is not very cheerful for an
agreement this summer unless the con-
vention is locked up on bread and
water diet.
Perhaps the wisest thing after all
would be tOremove the existing restric-
tion upon the Legislature, and leave it
with that body to make and amend cleo
tion laws from time as they see proper
to do so in the light of experience, and
as required by the peculiar needs of
the people of Mississippi.

During slavery q crazy negro was

Now, we learn, that our jails in many
parts of the State, are almost filed
with insane colored people. If there
was a time when negros should have
had their intellects unhinged to a loss
of reason it seems that it would have
been then, when they were thoroughly
degraded, and powerless, as members
of the human family, and so utterly
ignorant of their or any body else S
rights. 1t seems as if they follow the
white mans high civilization, as they
become infected with his weaknesses as
well as his strength to 60 crazy and
commit suicide, both of which seems
now almost epidemic all through the
land. Never in the history of all the
ages, have virtue and truth, had so
many eloquent tongues speaking, from
the battlements of heaven to the dark
confines of hell, crying aloud and
sparing not" Never in all the past
have 50 many earnest and almost
inspired pens been spreading the light

The Liver

When out of order, involves every organ of
the body. Remedies for some other derange-
ment are frequently taken without the least
effect because it is the liver which is the real
source of the trouble, and until that is set
right there can be no health, strength, or
comfort in any part of the system. Mercury,
in some form, is common specific for slug
gish liver; but far safer and more effective
medicine is
