LzJ Tri-Weekly Astorian ASTORIA, OREGON: I. C. IREfcAXD x Etlitor. THURSDAY Kov. G, 1873 JIISSISSIJPPI POLITICS. Most people it seems do not under stand what all the trouble is about in Mississippi. It appears to be a scheme amongst politicians to make money out of the State on account of her repudiated bonds. Away back in 1S37, that State borrowed, in Kew York and Europe, the sum of $7,000, 00Q, and gave her bonds as evidence of her indebtedness. This money was borrowed for the purpose of loaning it to the planters and busi ness men of the State. For this pur 2ose it was placed in the Union and the Planters' banks, and gradually loaned out in-sums of 1,000 and up ward. The plan looked like a good one. Here were business men and planters getting money at a low rate, and at the same time the State was deemed secure from loss. Money was plenty and everybody was hap py, and the wonder was why the con summate plan to make " easy times" had not been thought of before. But as the notes fell due they were not met promptly. Some were not met at all. Suits were brought, the lawrers had fat fees, hard times came, and the banks broke. The money was frittered and loaned and fooled awa The Legislature, to its ever lasting disgrace he it said, took ad vantage of some trifling technicalities and repudiated the whole debt. Since that time the specter of tlie re pudiated bonds have hung like the sword of Damocles over Mississippi. Tn eveiy campaign they came up, and in every market in the world Mississippi suffered. Her credit has been third-rate ever since. jSTo one has faith in her promises to pay. As n mere matter of economy it would have been better to have paid that debt when first due, for certainly the State has suffered two-fold in conse quence of the repudiation. The bonds have been hawked about ever since at from two to three cents on the dollar, according as the hopes of payment, always slim, rose and fell. The principal and interest now amount to nearly $30,000,000. And what a splendid opyportunity to make aforlu ic if the payment of those bonds can "be'forccd upon the people. The whole amount could be bought for r-song. The Legislature could be captured for a small per cent, of the grand total. The only difficulty then in the way would be the Governor. If he did not veto the arrangement, the holders of the bonds would succeed in their plans. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says: " These politicians know they cannot expect anything from Alcorn. They tried liim. short ly after he was elected to the Gov ernorship, four years ago, as he says himself. They first want to fix the Governor, and make sure of him- be fore they buy the Legislature. It is understood that B.eii Duller, holds a large quantity of the bondsj, -and is attorney for the rest of the holders. I do not know how true this is, but it is certain that he has recently written to Acting "Governor Powers, making inquiry as to the amount of the State debt. This is of .startling significance to the people of Missis sippi, and hence their keen anxiety to find somebody to beat Ames. For this reason they support Alcorn, and in fact would support anybody to floor Den Butler's son-in-law. Ames pro tests that he is not in favor of paying the .bonds; that his father-in-law is .aipta.holder of them; that he is as much opposed to paying as anybody, and that if the Legislature passes a law to fund them he will veto it. . " Dut the property-holdors distrust him, from the fact that he is not him self a property-holder, and does not live in the State. As Alcorn says, they cannot trust thirty millions of dollars to the word of a non-resident. " Ames has in any .disadvantages to contend with, and if it wasvnot for the united and unflinching support which the negroes give him hevbuld fare slim. His greatest disadvantage is the fact that he is old Den. Butler's son-in-law. There is no man in the United States so cordially hated here as Ben. Duller, or one in whom the people have so little confidence. He. is continually referred to as the Deast, and poor Ames as the son-in-law of the Deast. In addition to this Ames is surrounded by a bad set. Gibbs, on the ticket with him for Auditor, has been charged by Ames himself as being corrupt. In 1S69, Gibbs and Dugan tried to swindle the State out of $20,000 by fraudulent printing accounts. Ames, then Pro visional Governor, 'checkmated their game, and used this language: "I know that man Gibbs to be" corrupt. - z sQ party can live that upholds such a man." Dut now between Gibbs and Ames all seems to be love ly. O. C. French, the head of the party in Adams county, where Ames lives, is a defaulter to the Govern ment for $16,000. This appears on record, and is not a story trumped up for campaign use. The Pilot, Ames' State organ, is an injudicious and blatherskite sheet. It struck a serious blow at the cause of its mas ter by saying that if the Republican party remains in power, the repudi ated debt will be paid." Lucy Langdon Mowell was born in Alfred, July 4, 177G, on the day and very near the hour of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. "When eight years of age she united with Alfred Shakers, and has since lived with them. "When S4 vears of age she wove thirty-four yards of; cloth, and at 9G knit ten pairs of mit tens. She has never been in a rail road car, and is in excellent health. If she lives until 1S7G, a Pullman palace-car will be dispatched to her native town to transport her to Bos ton. Prom thence she will be carried direct to the Quaker City, where her presence will be one of the features of the grand centennial. Troy of Homeric notoriety can be considered a myth no longer. Mr. Schliem aim has been excavating for years. Latel he made some aston ishing discoveries, no other, in fact, than the finding of the palace of Priam with its treasures. Mrs. Fran cis, wife of th'e American minister to Greece, has seen these treasures and written of them. Five thousand million dollars have been expended in building dwelling houses in England and Wales, during the past century. This immense amount of money appears at first, as a very extravagant expen-. diture, but is comparatively a small amount when the length of time and the large .population to be sheltered are considered. Mexico. Congress has decreed tho following:' Tho Church and State are to be separate; Congress cannot make laws I establishing or prohibiting any religion; I m'atrimnnv is to ho. fi r ivil nnntrnnf. vnlirr I ious institutions cannot possess property; a simple promUe to speak the truth, com plying with obligations contracted, with penalties in case of violation, is substituted for the religious oath; nobody is obliged to give his or her services without just compensation; no contract is to be permit lcd.whiclimims at the sacrifice of man in the matter of work, education, and relig ious vows (the laws thus consequently do not recognise Monastic orders, nor permit then-establishment by any denomination or under any pretence), and no contiact will be allowed to.bo made among persons consenting to their own proscription or banishment. The priests of the Church of Saint Lorbtto and all parishes have ex communicated all persons recognizing the Constitution and the reforms inaugurated by the Government. Jesuits have been ordered to leave the country at the first opportunity. They are given tho choice of American, English, or French packets. The Government, it is thought, will soon use military force to suppress the trouble between the Congress of the State of Coa huila and the recently deposed Governor, General Zeneda.
