Already the effect of tla Gian

BVKtem of credit and in the establish
ment of the Btriclly cash Kyutoin has
cft'ctcd a general reduction in prices
of 21) to 25 per cent. It is expected
that the period it not, far diVtant
when the cash syntem will supersede

Grunge agencies will so liuk agricuN

Th'i Christmas Trees at liiloxi for
tl e beuefi t of the Episcopal and Meth
odist Sabbath Schools was an uiiubUuI
Iv pleasant e veil t of the Christ mas sea
son. Notwithstanding the very iu
clement weather the Methodist charch
was crowded with the f iends and
relatives of (ho children to witness
their exhibition and disUibutfon of
gifts. ' '
- Dr. C. P. Angell, ll.e uemly elect
ed Superintendent, deserves much
credit lor the interest he manifested
in the entertuluiucut. ' The dilTereut
hjroos eung by the choir reflected
much credit upjn Miss Churph.
The opcniiii? address by Master
Dubcr was very timely and appro
priato and wuS delivered in excellent
style. The closing addieo was de
livered by lliss Henley, after, which
all present, more or les3. received
prcsQuts from off the heavily laden
Tree. "
Bro. Williams requests us to state
that the State Grango failed to make
tbe neces ary appropriation for print
ing tbe Proceedings, and brought the
matter before the Executive Commit
tee 00 tbe dlh insU, and the appro
priatioo was made, and the Proceed-,

i A copr will he sent to every

founded calumny on tlio . ijeuplo of
Warren coun ty.
Perfect peace and order reiti in
tint couiity now, and there have
been no violeueo or bloodshed there
except what was occasioned by a
manly defense by the people of Vicks
burg uainst armed bodies of ineu,
who, as we believe, were, by the con
nivance of the Governor of the State,
marching oil that city for tlie pnr-
postf of briujiu uboiit a conflict of
races.
Wl.en this altempt to invade the !
city was defeated, the citizens oi
Vitks iiirg laid dowu their armi, and
have since been quieily engage 1 in
their ordinary business and avoca
tions, an I there has not been bince,
and is not no.v, the shadow o.f a fcus
pieiou of violeueo in their midst.
The holding of the Courts, and tlie
regular- proc-'ss of law, have not been
aud arc not now, in anywise obstruct
ed in that county or elsewliero intlio
state. Tliwe is not even the slilu
est resistance to the collection of the
most opprcsive and ruoious taxation,
which is no being rlentle3-ly en
forced, aud which, when collected,
will ii) the iijiin ba disbursed for no
publ c good whatever.
W'o do not hesitate to odinn that
never in the'pist history ot the Slate,
hus there prevailed among its people
a stronger love of lavv nud order, a
more pitieut submission to wrong,
and a firmer dclertniuitlioii, under ull
oircuiusiuacc adtuitliug of legal re
dress, to seek lor it, only through
loal means
Too result of the recent elections
in the Northern section of the Union,
has held out to us (.tie hope of a
speedy return to the rule of an honest
and just local government, and a full
rodress, by legal means, -of all our
local grievances. And we bavo not
been unmindful that any irregular nt
tempt on our part to redress griev
ances', however great, and to resent
wrongs, howevor irritating, would he
represented by our euemies (aud Iroui
these we do not feel authorized to ex-
cludo many ol our present rulers) as
the lueuifesUtiou of a spirit of re
bellion and disloyality to. the Nation
al Government. And hence, though
we are now suffering from a misrule,
which is djy by day wasting our sub
aUuce, and paralyzing the hopes and
aspirations of our people, aud is
threatening anarchy by the banish
nieut of all public spirit and private
virtue from official lile, we have for
borne to seek redress, other than by
legal. means, when, such means were
atuiuable.
Inspired by the hope, furnished by
it !

they testified.
To show conclusively that this ac
tion ol the Governor, end of a major
ity of the Legislature, was conceived
and carried out purely from, party
considerations, we need but call al
ien ion to the lact that 1I10 Governor
himself, under the constitution aud
lutvs of the United States had amide
authority to call lor troops from the
U. S. 'government, when the Legis
lature was not in session and hence
that the calling of an extraordinary
session of thut body hud no use than
to make the action which was taken
a party measure, and to furnish to
tlio Governor a needed support tor
un unwarranted act by tho number of
names and olfie.iula committed to it. 4 .
Tho majority who sustained thia
action was eoiupoi-ed largely of col
ored meinberi, whose pactions had
been a'oused and .whoso prejudices
had been excited by inflammatory
and calumnious proclamation and
message of the Governor, . and in
part by white men, who were strang
ers to our people and alien 10 them
in sympathy, and interest, and in part
of honest though misguided men, who
hud not the public spiiit to disobey,
in the iiitercot .of truth uud justice,
the edicts of of a party caucus. '
The Qovernqr, who instigated this
action.is not even a citizen of the State,
and is an letter stranger, to our peos
pie and wholly ignorant and un
mindful of their interests. lie was
b y. S. army officer a'id military
Govcrjor r( the Slate at tho dale of
its reconstruction ; aud whilst occu
pying both these positions, be was
elected to the U. S. Senate. The
Judiciary Committee of that body,
composed ol Ida party friends, report
ed that he was ineligible to the Sen
ato, because he was. not a citizen of
the Slate, lie is here as a mere po
litical adventurer, with no other in
tercuts ihau such as re-ult from his
being an office bolder ; and we pre
suuie he would not deny that his pre.
