liatlalin. Friday, Avril 21, lMT We are requested to stae that a meeting of the members of the Dem ocratic Central Executive Committee, resident in Jackson, will be held at the office of Gen. Freeman at 5 o'clock this evening. The prescriptive features of the "Constitution," framed by the Mongrels in Virginia, is giving trouble to the Radical leaders in Washington. It suits the purpose of the convict birds and negroes who framed it as an instrument for keeping decent white rjeoole from office in that State, but it is a load -rhich the falling Radical organization outside of it, cannot sup port.

A despatch from Washington says that Gen. Schofield is there conferring with Gen. Grant on the sub ject, and urging him to use his influence in the proper quarters to obtain a modification of the harsh provisions of the instrument. The Now York Herald and other Northern journals are holding up to the indignant gaze of the people that section, our expose of the infamous ordinance of the Mississippi Convention, which its authors passed in order to give to the negroes and carpet bag mercenaries, entire control of the legislative department of the State government. We would sa- to our eotempoaries that our exposition WM wholly inadequate to the enormity of the measure.

And few examples of its outrageous features only were presented, to show the general character of the scheme. We will recur to it hereafter. Meantime let us add that is hideous measure, compared to some of the other ordinances continued by the Mongrels, is really a thing of beauty. A Washington special to the St. Louis Democrat (Radical) says that it is 'feared l.y many persons that the in the Virginia Constitution, "framed under the reconstruction laws, "relating to the elective franchise, is so rigorous and restrictive in character, extending murk further than "that ly Congress, will cause the rejection of the Constitution" (by Congress.) The scheme was adopted with the sole aim Of placing Virginia under African rule, and denying to all persons except negroes and their carpetbag associates, the privilege of holding office bat it has awakened some apprehension in the minds of the leaders outside, that the experiment has been pushed too far.

The handwriting is on the wall. II in li rt I I In- 'on Ulioil. The following response of Governor Humphreys to a communication addressed him in January last, has never, we believe, been published in t'ue official journal of the Convention. Why withheld, we are at a loss to conjecture. AVe will add, that this -'true copy" of the document has been furnished us by a gentleman unconnected in any way with either the Convention or the Executive Department: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, IaTK ok Missi ippi, Jackson, Jan.

25, 186-. Yonr note, enclosing the resolution of the assembly now in Convention by virtue of the Military Bill, empowering raa Committee "to inquire into the disposition of all funds received by the State Treasurer, or other State officers, as donations from various cities, towns, and private individuals in the Northern Stab s. fr the relief of the destitute of and asking me 'to furundi us (the committee) a detailed statement of the receipts aud disbursements of said fund during your term of office," was handed tome late yesterday evening by one of ur pages. fco tumls haTs been received by me from cilis, towns or individuals in the Northern States. Those who have entrusted me as their private agent, with the distribution of their charities, have neglected to instruct me to account to your body, and your committee have failed to furnish me with any evidence, that the donors have delegated to that body any authority to make the i quiry proposed.

As those donors may regard their charities as their own private matters, disconnected wjth the affairs of government, civil or military, Federal or State, and may be unwilling to subject the beneficiaries to the mortification of a public exhibition of their want and destitution, tbey may regard any effort, however laudable, to give publicity to their charities, as euperserviceable. I must, then, refer you to them. Their wishes and instruct ions on this Bubject will be cheerfully complied with, and proper vouchers wilt be exhibited. Respectfully, BENJAMIN G. HUMPHREYS, i.

Governor of Mississippi. To Fjsi Pahsons, Chr. Finance Com. Ktortto OrdlaMUsee of tfce The yicksbnrg. Times exposes a high handed usurpation by the Mongrel Convention in its election ordi nance.

The law of Congress, section 4th, passed March 23rd 1867, provides, that when the Convention shall "have drained a Constitution in pursuance "of this act, and the act to which it is tipplemenlal, and when the same shall have been so framed, Batd Con "stitution shall be submitted by the 'Convention ratification to the I ersons registered under the provi-' sions of this act at an election to be "conducted by the officers or persons appointed or to be appointed by the "comm anding general as hereinbefore "provided, fec" It is thus expressly required that the election shall l.e conducted by officers appointed by the Commanding General. But in violation of the law, the Mongrels have taken upon them selves the appointment of these officers The 8th section of their pretended election ordinance provides that a committee of five appointed by the Convention to exercise supervisory authority over affairs generally (for which there is warrant whatever in the law of Congress) "shall appoint "three Commissioners of Flection for "each county, whose duty it shall he to ''superintend the election for the ratfea-tfon or rejertion of the Constitution, shall aso, at the same time and "plac, tu er intend the election for all "officers and representatives herein Returns, ii duplicate, sworn "to by the said Commissioners superintending said election, and forwarded within three days thereafter to "the Chairman of said Committee of "five, who shall, within five days after "the last return has been received, "make proclamation of -the result of said election." The usurpation palpable. These fellows, some of whom are unlettered negroes, and others composing a majority though perhaps not so illiterate, are no less ignorant of the business of legislation, because they did not presume to aspire to such a calling in the country which for its own good they have left, in their hovel condition, imagine nothing comparable to the extent of their powers. They have not pretended to restrict themselves to the duties marked out in the acts by which the- have been thrown to the surface as constitution makers. Their med ling hands are thrust into matters wholly foreign to the business prescribed for them and in the present instance, they have usurped important prerogatives with which the Commanding General is expressly invested.

Some of them have declared in the Convention that, "all is not right at Vicksburg by which we suppose it is meant, that the Commanding General is not to be trusted in the waj of making provision for the wholesale frauds, ballot-stuffing, double-voting, fcc, by which they expect to establish their iniquitous rule over the people of Mississippi. It remains to be seen whether that officer will permit his powers thus to be arrogantly usurped by these (pre. tended) 3Iongrcl oligarchs. The defeat of the Radicals in the arreat North-western citv. Chicago, is certainly an unlooked for result.

In the contest between Lincoln and Mc- Clellan, in 18G4, the former carried it by 1,831 majority; and subsequent elections have approximated the same result There, as elsewhere, the Kadi calson Tuesday themselves of Gen. Grant's military popularity The day before the election, the Tost, (Radical) organ, placed the issue di rectly upon the ground that the defeat of their candidate, would be a popular verdict against Grant. It said I he welcome given by Chicago to Smith the soldier, will be the welcome given b3" Chicago to Grant the soldier 1 he same art which arrays Chirago ayainst Smith arrays it atains Grant, who will be nominated for President in Chicago in thirty days from to-mor row! Shall the wires tell Grant to morrow night that a majority of the citizens of Chicago are against him. and prefer Pendleton for President? That depends on the Republicans of Chicago. And yet the Democrats have carried the citj-, by 500 majority.

The Radicals are losing ground everywhere in the North. Their policy of establishing Negro supremac3-aud equality in the South, together with their profligate management of the finances of the country, is bringing them to grief! Their reconstruction policy which has been changed so repeatedly to suit the varying exigencies of their failing fortunes, even if successful, will lose them more votes in the North, than it will gain them in the South. The Mexican Press law is much more liberal than that of France. All trials for offences are to be by juries composed of men who can read and write, and who hold no office. The printing department is wholly free.

Court continued. Jfoutwell concluded. Recess. N. lson, of Tennessee, spoke extempore he alluded to the magnitude of the occasion and expressed a fear of his lack of ability to properly treat the subject.

The managers charged the President with evil natuic and wickedness, characterized him as a ble character, accused him of everything from a great political criminal to a common scold. Nelson gave the President's biog phy in refutation of these charges. Those who, like Nelson, knew the President best sustained him. Nelson felt that he was not addressing as politicians, but as judges who would rise above prejudice of party; he was confident that outside pies-sure would be indignantly repelled. If he believed conviction a foregone conclusion, humble as he was.

ho would scorn to address them. Nelson cited resolutions otlered by Johnson, and adopted by Congress, imme iateiy after the Ball Ran disaster, declaring the purposes of the war, which resolutions are still unrepealed. To these resolutions Johnson was faithful. Lincoln's policy after Lee's surrender as based on those resolution-, which Johnson faithfully carried out. Congress claimed powers in tlie reconstruction acts bf implication.

The President's powers more plainly implied that the President had a right io his opinion, and the hon-esty and integrity of his motive must be pie- -mii'Mi in Mien a case.

AChtMiDream or a Star. BY CHARLBS DICKENS. There was once a child, and he strolled about a good deal, and thought of a number of things. He had a sister, who was a child too, and his constant companion. These two used to wonder all day long.

They wondered at the height and blueness of the sky they wondered at the depth of the bright water; they wondered at the goodness and power of God who made the lovely world. Ibey need to say to one another, sometimes, Supposing all the children upon earth were to die, would the flowers and water, and the sky be sorry Y' They believed they would be sorry, ror, said they, the buds are the children of the flowers, and the little playful streams that gambol down the hillsides, are the children ot the water; and the smallest bright specks, playing at hide and seek in the sky all night) must surely bo the children of the stars: and they would all be grieved to see their playmates, the children of men, more. There was one clear shining star that used to come out in the sky before the rest, near the church spire, above the graves. It was larger and more beautiful, they thought, than all the others, and every nirht thev watched for it, standing, hand in baud, at a window. Whoever saw it first, cried out, "I see the And often they cried out both together, knowing so well when it would rise, and where, bo they grew to be such friends with it that, before lying down in their beds, they always looked once again, to bid it good night; and when they were turning round to sleep, they used to say, '-God bless the star!" But while she was still very young, oh very, very voting, the sister hopped, a m1 came to be so weak that she could no longer stand in the window at night: and then the child looked sadly at the star, turned round and said to the patient pale face on the bed, "I see the and then a smile would come upon the face, and a little weak voice used to sav, "God bless my brother and the star And so the time came, all too soon when the child looked out alone, and when there was no face on the bed and when there was a little irrave among the graves, not there before; and when the star made long rays down toward him, as he saw it through his Xow, these rays were so bright, and they seemed to make such a shining way from earth to heaven, that when the child went to his solitary bed, he dreamed about the star; and dreamed that, lying where he was, he saw a train of people taken up that sparkling road by angels.

And the star, opening, show him a great world of light, where many more such angels waited to receive them. All these angels who were waiting turned their beaming eyes upon the people who were carried up into the star; and some came out from the long rows in which they stood, and fell upon the people's necks, and kissed them tenderly, and went away with them down avenues of and were so happy in their company that, laying in his bed, he wept for joy. But there were many angels who did not go with them, and anions; them one he knew. The patient face that once had lain upon the bed was glorified and radiant, but his heart found out his sister among all the host. His sister's angel lingered near tlie entrance of the star, and said to the leader among those who had brought the people thither "Is ni' brother come And he said She was turning hopefully away, when the child stretched out his arms, and cried, sister I am here Take me!" and then she turned her beaming eyes upon him, and it was night and the star was shining into the room making long rays down towards him as he saw it through his tears.

From that hour forth the child looked out upon the star as on the home he was to go to. when his time should come; and he thought that he did not belong to the earth alone, but to the star, too, because of his sister's angel gone before. There was a baby born to be a brother to the child and while he was so little that he never yet had spoken a word, he stretched his tiny form out on his bed, and died. Again the child dreamed of the opened star, and of the company of angels, and the train of people, and the rows of angels with their beaming eyes all turned upon those people's faces. Sa'd his sister's angel to the leader "Is my brother come And he said, "Not that one but another." As the child beheld his brother's angel in her arms, he cried, sister, I am here! Take me And she turned and smiled upon him, and the star was shining.

He grew to be a 3'oung man, and was busy at his books, when an old servant came to him and said "Thy mother is no more. I bring her blessing on her darling son." Again at night he saw the star, and all that former company. Said his sister's angel to the leader "Is my brother come An he said, "Thy mother." A mighty cry of joy went through all the stars because the mother was reunited to her two children. And he stretched out his arms and cried, mother, sister and brother. 1 am here Take me!" And they answered him, "not yet," and the star was shining.

He grew to be a man whose hair was turning grey, and he was sitting his chair by the fireside, heavy with grief, and with his eyes bedewed with ters, when the star opened once again. Said his sister's angel to the leader, "Is my brother come And he said "Nay but his maiden daughter." And the man who bad been a child saw his daughter, newly lost to him, a Plfistial creature among those three, and he said: "My daughters head is on ror sister's bosom, and her arm is round my mother's neck, and at her feet there is the baby of old time, and I can bear the parting from her, God be praised And the star was shining. Thus the child came to be an old man, and his once smooth face was wrinkled, and his steps was bent. And. one night, as he lay upon his bed, his children standing round, he cried, as he had cried so long ago "I see the Utai They mapered to one another.

He is dying." And he said, I am. Mj age is falling from me like a garment, and 1 move towards the star as a child. And my Father, now I thank thee that it has so often opened, to receive those dear ones who await me And the star was shining; and it shines upon his grave. Hrin noefa The twenty sixth of April has been designated l3' the common consent off Southern people as sacred to the memory of the Confederate dead. This year the twenty-sixth falls on Sunday, "and the twenty-fifth will be observed in it stead.

The brave men who fought for their country, and sealed their devotion with their blood, should never be forgotten, or suffered to lie in neglected graves. Thev sleep, many of them, far from their homes, but still in the bosom of the soil they claimed as their country. Their true nobility is not affected by the cause they espoused, and no generous gentleman, whatever his opinion of those who originally begat intestine dissensions, would deny these touching testimonials of respect' and reverence to thf gallant dead. If Radicalism had not intervened to excite unworthy passions, there is not a Southern grave in which repose the remains of a Federal soldier, that would not be decorated, on this anniversary, with Moral tributes to soldierly worth. Southern people are too poor to build mausoleums, and this custom, universally observed and perpetuated, is more honorable to the living than monumental marble, that neither feels nor speaks.

Tears shall fall through unnumbered years to bedew bright flowers strewn by fair nands over the last resting places of the noblest sons of the desolate South. Paducah Ken-tuckian.

In several of the country parishes where the number of colored registered voters, exceeded the number of white registered voters, majorities are reported against the carpet-bag Con stitution. These results can onlrbe accounted for by supposing a coiisi'l erabie portion of the colored regis tered voters to have gone with the great conservative interests of the State, and in opposition to the atrocious and pestilent schemes of the outlandish and interloping park of radical conspirators and plunderers. This was done directly, by voting or it was done indirectly, by resolutely staying away from the polls in defiance of the truculent whippers-in of carhaggery. X. O.
