A good many pape s of the State are paying their respects very warm ly to the abuses under section 806 of the Code authorizing the hiring out of county prisoners. The law is wofully defective as it now stands, and some of the outrages perpetrated trader it by hearthss contractors upon the helpless prisoners in their charge, deserve the severest censure and punishment. At tho meeting of the General Assembly of the Southern Presby terians in Lexington, Ky., last week, &large amount of religious work was attended to.

The question has since- been very thor oughly discussed by the State press, and, as far as we have observed, every pape • which has discussed the subject at all, endorses the Exami ner's proposition. If the mere prin ciple of fair dealing c intended for were the main one involved, we doubt if there would be an obj, ctioa from any source. There are-a great many people in the anti-licens! counties, as well as elsewhere, who b -lieve | that it is wrong in principle a id de moral zing i 1 its effects to maintain public schools by lice isioxja known evil, and if the pr ^position were to abolish the system throughout th • entire State, they w mid most hearti ly concur; but as it does not propos • to do this, an 1 is besides subversive of the great und-rhi >g principle which should control iu public education by the State, we believe a large D im fei-v of the people of the State will demur. The present system is prescribed by our State Constitution, and, as hasalreidy been will remarked by some of our cotemporaries who advo cate the change, is beyond the do main of mere legislative enactment. Any change, therefore, will have to come in the form of a constitutional amendment, pending wh'di there will be ample time for free and full discussion before the people. In conjunction with the above sug gestions, the following f oni the pen of that, distinguished gentleman and clear-head d thinker, Dr. Chas. B Galloway, meets our hearty concur rence, and is altogether the most sen sible treatment of the Examiner’s proposition we have seen from any quarter whatsoever. Let us examine this proposition, and s -e whether or nor it will stand the test of sound political wisdom, laying aside for the while other and higher considerations. The under laying principle of public education must be ever kept in mind in deter mining all measures for its promo tion. Free schools are established and maintained by the State for the benefit of the illiterate poor. This illiteracy is considered dangerous to the peace and health of the body po litic, hence, to remove it, the entire property of the State is taxed for the maintenance of public schools Tut fund is distributed, therefore, not ac cording to tne social, moral or politi cal sentiment of a community, but the number of children needing an education. The proposition, then, to disburse this free school revenue only in the counties where collected is subversive of the foundation princi ples of public education. On that theory the State woul 1 have to close every school house in the land. It proposes to educate not as necessity requires, nut a cording to the num ber of saloons licensed a id maintain ed. By what logic such a doctrine is to be defended has not t'et trans pired. Again, it is manifestly ob noxious to the spirit of our g ivern ment iu exciting local prejudices and antagonisms. The revenues are appropriated where the general in terests demand,without regard to the immediate locality from whence de rived. Sufferers iu tlie overflowed districts have been relieved from the general treasurj\ According to the doctrine above, the hill counties might justly oomplain of such expen ditures. In a word, it is introducing class legislation that is subversive of republican governments. - ati - We acknowledge the receipt of a u at pamphlet c ontaining the pro ceedings of the National Convention, constitution, bj’-laws, addresses, of ficers, committees, etc., of “The Citi zens’ Law and Order League of the United States,’’ organized at Fre mont Temple, Boston, Mass., Feb 32, lSEl'l.

Wilson, editor of the N«w Mississippian, Secretary. Kight coont*es composed the Convention, with the following representation: Leflore, Sunflower, Quitman, Coalio mo, Tunics, 5 votes each; Yazoo, Tallahatchie, 4 votes each; Holmes 2 votes. From the the Jacks >n spec ial of the New 0 lean# Picayune we gather the following summary of the convention's work; Perkin's, of Tunica, who has good levee ideas, introduced a resolution which after discutem. The Convention called upon the Governor in a body and through their chairman, Gen. George, stated the result, and urged him to as semble the Legislature at an early day. The Governor replied that their request should have at his hands the most earnest consideration, hut that he was not now prepared to give them a definite answer. Recogniz ing them as a representative body of men, it was proper and frank for him to say that he looked upon a special session of the Legis'ature witli tnanv misgivings. So far as liis experience ex'euded it would be difficult tor the most thoughtful per son to point to a single extra session in this State that had .resulted bene ficially to the country. Our constitution is unlike that of Louisiana and of some other States, where the assembly could be assem bled for a special purpose and none other. Thus, being called together they could legislate upon any an 1 all questions; but lie felt the sore condition of affairs in the delta, and would give the question submitted his most earnest thought and Ins' judgm mt; but, he continued, “you must remember, while you speak for a small area of country, I am agent f>r the entire commonwealth, and must with all surrounding discharge conscientiously all obligati >ns de volving upon me.” The Convention repaired to the hall and passed a resolution a-king him to call a session to take no ac tion except upon levee matters. At the Baptist Bibb Convention, held at Saratoga, New York, lust week, resolutions were passed re commending that all Baptist Bible work in foreign lands be done through the Missionary Union of Boston, and all Bible work in this country through * ftlie’J Publication Society of Philadelphia; and also providing that the American and Foreign Bible Societies nominate three members of the board, and that the Publication Society band over its effects aud go out of exis tence. Of the wh >le convention only 30 voted against the resolutions, while 307 voted for them. It stated that tho managers and board of the society recognized the hand of God in the unanimity of the overwhelm ing vote and have acquiesced La the wish expre-sed.

Let Randall and Carlisle fight on the tariff and anti-tariff issue as much as they phase. I will take no part in it aud have no altercation with them.” He proposes to fight on a consistent Democratic record of a quarter of a century. He counts on the solid vote of the New York delegation and a strong backing in the South, -- The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that the $100,000 appropri ated for the prevention of the spread of epidemic diseases shall oe dis bursed by the Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital Service.

Rowell k, Mas# „April 24, 1883. H.C. carter, VldcWsir*. MIm: Dear Sik—You arc mistaken in supposing that I have any special knowledge of the condition of politi cal affairs in Mississippi, as I only see them at a distance strained through the medium of the different political papers: therefore- I cannot speak with particularity about Mis sissippi. Yoar also ask me what line of con duct I would advise the colored men of the South to pursue in political iff lira. To- that I answer frankly, look out for yourselves. That is to say, vote for the best men, whose life ond conduct you know well, and who have shown thereby their desire that equal justice and equal rights -hill come to all ra^n under the law. No matter what pr >mises are made by political orat »rs, or what induce ments are held out to obtain votes, look to what men have done and beer., and not to what they say they wiH do, or will bo. If- a candidate for office whom you can trust is in raver of the education oi your cnu dren, the equal taxation of }’our property and the protection of your persons by law, vote- for him what ever he may be called,, politically. It is a mistake for the colored Voters to vote for one |>arfey solidly, even in localities where they have the num erical majority; but it is equally their duty to vote for men who will best repr'sent the interest of all. You live in a community composed of both white aud colored men, and you want to have a peaceful, quiet life in that community. There are good men in both parties, and you will cbtain the respei t of every good man if you will pursue the course I have indicated. By so doing you .will lull the passions, and the hard feelings endangered by the war, aud the disapjiointments and regrets, if any, produced by the emancipation of the colored man, will die out. It is of more consequence to the colored man that he shall have peace and prosperity in the community where he lives, than who is President, or wlio is Senator or Representative to Congress. In a word; vote for all good, honest and true men who are now your friends, and vote against all men who, by their conduct, have not shown themselves your friends, however loud or persistent their promises may be. Remember that the Holy Scriptures say “by their fruits ye shall know them” lam very t ulv yours, BENM. F. BUTLER. A CJoimI Pint form.
