The Governor's Messaga.
We publish below certain extracts
from the message of Governor Ames
to the Legislature, nov in sessiou at
Jackson, and regret that we have
not space to give it entire. As a
State paper of uo ordinary type,
the message is receiving the hearty
approval of the press throughout
the State. The extracts given be
low must recommend themselves to
oar readers as suggestion of ear
nest propriety lor immediate legis
lation:
Executive Offick,
State of Mississppi,
Jackson, January 5, l$lo.
To the Senate and House of Lepre
tentatives :
Gentlemen As representatives
of the people, you have assembled
iu conformity with the Constitution,
to discharge the duties imposed nj
ou yoc as the Legislative branch of
the government. The qm-stious for
your consideration aie of the high
est importance, not only affecting
the personal security of many of
our iellow-citizeus, but even tbeir
personal liberty.
Coming directly from the people,
you are fully informed as to their
necessities aud aspirations ; and the
State looks to you in confident be
lief that you will give, by judicious
legislation, peace aud good order j
promote its interests, and eulianco
its prosperity, so that the people
may rejoice in the greatest ad van
tages aud the least disadvantages
incident to human government.
It is my duly to give you such in
formation relative to the condition
and interest of the government aud
State, and to recommend, for sour
eousidratiou,8uch measures as may
be deemed expedient.
Detailed reports of the condition
of the several departments will be
furuubed you by their heads, to
which I respectfully refer you for
full accounts of their workings.
STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
Ibe woik accomplished by the
State Board of Equalization lias
been highly important. Atteutiou
is invited to its report. It will be
seen that personal property (no ac
tion was taken as to realty), of sub
stantially the same value in differ
ent ct untie, varied greatly, its as
sessed valuation uot being the same
in any two counties, and differing as
widely as fifty-seven per cent. With
such inequality goes a correspond
ing injustice. The law, as it now
stands, permits the equalization of
personalty but once iu four years.
Jt should be done yearly ; our law
is defective aud i-u;.erfect. I re
commend that it be modeled after
those of other Suites where the
system Las been brought to a high
stale of perfection.
We base no relative to the
asserismeot aud ' taxation of rail
roads. By au agreement between
some of the railroad corporations of
the State aud the State Board of
Equalization, they were assessed at
five thousand dollars per mile, and
agreed to pay accordingly. Legis
lation relative to this question is
imperative.
FAYXENT OF TAXES IN CUBBENCT.
The law passed last year, requir
ing taxes to be paid iu United
States currency, has proved emi
nently beneficial. It is believed
that sufficient money will be paid
into the treasury, upon a settlement
of Collectors with the State, to pay
every warrant outstanding for the
last fiscal year, aud had tue season
been iu any degree a favorable one,
there would have been a surplusage
to meet, iu part, the espouses of
this year. A repeal of this law,
and a return to the system recently
iu existence, I would deem a great
misfortune to the State and an in
jury to the tax-payei.
COXFUXSORT EDUCATION.
I renew my recommendation made
last year, iu favor of compulsory ed
ncatiou. It is the surest aud safest
aveuue of escape fiom eicbiruss
ineut of every kind which may sur
round us. Such laws have beeu iu
operation in other Ssates, with great
advantage, aud cau bo copied by
us with like results.
TEMPERANCE.
The laws relative to temperance,
passed at your last regular sesxion.
Lave failed W give ttose beneficial
resalts so much desired. Aprils
come from every quarter of the
State that the work so bravely eu
tered upon a year ago may be press
ed forward aud perfected. - I com
mend this subject to your careful
consideration.
OBAND JURIES.
Grand Juries are now selected by
the Board of Supervisor of coun
ties. These Boards of Supervisors
eontrol anil direct the finances of
counties. It is asserted that they
select their juries to save them
selves aud their friends from the
consequence of corrupt or illegal
acts, which they may be base enough
to commit. That all such criminal
deeds may be followed by the ee
verest penalties, it will bo necessary
for the Lw regulating the 8oictiofi
of jtirors to be modified. No man,
who is to tiied or wh'se official con
duct is to be inquired into, should
select the jury to do it. I recom
mend that the selection of such
juries be given to Jury Commission
erf, to be designated by the C'itctiii
I JaJ;e. Such Coiiimis -ioaeis ulioul.l

A Word of Cs'J''-".
For some reason, to us at present
nnkiii n, the oir ti.iiin. the p:ist
low t.ujs luis been ti licit wit'a !iis
jsered rumors which are well tu! u
lateJ to breed distrust if not di.s
turb.inee in lliu State. It may be
well enough to give one of these
canards, tlit tho whole people 'isiiy
kuo'.v wb.it is being e.tiil. It is this:
That li:e lreednieu iu tbi J act! :id

We ii.ive ivtr it-at-on to believe
that these reports, aud ail similar
rt-potti), me entirely uiitro and with
out a paitiilc of foundation iu fact
Ihey must have had their origin iu
au unduly excited iuiagiuatis i.
Uat, true or utttiue, they aie luten
ded to work much evil, aud should
at once be coiitrauio-cd and forever
set at rest. If any person has any
reiiabie infoimatiou. that any such
organization of toe colored people
is eveu contemplated, se wish that
they would come forail ami
proinply make known their in for
mama to the State authorities, or
to the Sheriff of Hind?, or of some
other conu'y, when earnest steps
will be taken to counteract auy mjcIi
alleged iii h.s cr pretended pui
pose. As oetoro :aie I, however,
we cannot, .or one moment believe
that ai f .i-o fiveduien have ever
conctiit.i eatli a monstrous idea.
Should tL.m a-.iy bad men, white
or colored, wlio are iueiting or en-
deavoriug to i.iuite this people to
any prepaiai.o.i for violence, or to
repel any expected violenee, they
should be poiuted out and tbeir bad
deeds made public And this ad
vice applied to whites as weil as
blacks, No man should be allowed
to urge on a difficulty, or to indulge
in acts or words in themselves cal
culated to inspire fear in any person,
under the present condition ot al
ia irs iu an adjoining State.
e desire sincerely to advise all
good Republicans, wherever found,
to obey the laics, aud ibnv !'
protection in the administrators of
the laws. .Excitements suouiti oe
be kept down. Each and every
man should attend to his own pecu
liar and private duties, quietly and
peaceably, and keep away from
those who may be even suspected
of a w ish to goad any oue on to
word, or act, leading to violence.
There is no occasion, for trouble iu
this State; there need be uo trouble;
should it come, let ns make sure
that it does not have its origin with
us or whli our irieuds. We most
decidedly discountenance the pur
chase or carrying of arms by Re
publican. Let others keep them
and bear them, if they ru-iy, but let
us put our faith in the Constitution
and the laws, wbicji are abundant
for our protection and for the en
forcement of our legal rights.
Let us have no excitements !
Let us have uo fuither disturb

Coffee houses are now established
in two places iu Philadelphia where
a pint of tea or coffee aud a roll ; a
a bowl of soup and a roll j or, u
plate of stewed meat and a roll, will
be sold for five cents. It is demon
strated that these things can be fur
nished, at the price named, without
loss, the fitting up ot the establish
ment being paid for by benevolent
persons. This charity helps most
deserving people who dislike to beg
and who are too much pinched iu
the pocket to pay ordinary restuar
aut prices. It will coiuuieud itself
to imitation elsewhere, X. 0. Bul
letin. We do uot wish to make rude re
marks about "the Nation's guest,'
as the petty ruler of the Sandwich
Islands is ca led, in the Northern
papers, but we are glad to hear that
he is about to go home again, when
we hope to fiud something in our
exchanges more exbilirating aud
instructive than circumstantial re
ports of the drives he has taken,
the operas and ballets he has visit
ed, and the quantity of lager beer
he has daily imbibed. Jnt then, to
be sure, a live King is a great curi
osity, even though his royalty is
somewhat of the piuch'oack order.

The laws of Paris are so framed

If a grocer is detected ee'ling adul

been fined for selling adulterated
