Mississippi.—The response of Mississip pi to the Congressional invitation for Re construction, is emphatic. The latest dis- pactli sajs that “returns from little more than half the State of Mississippi show that nine thousand more than a majoritj- of the i*ersons registered have voted on the < onvention question. It says the re- uuuuing counties will increase the majori ty. as in some counties tire opponents of the Convention voted; also that in the part of the State heard from the unreconstruct- «•! voters stayed away from the polls. Only one Conservative delegate is known to be elected. Among those who took the stump in favor of a Convention was Hon. A. G. Brown. cx-l'nitetl States Senator, and Gen. Alcorn. Senator elect.” Mr. Brown occu pied the responsible position of Governor ol the State at one time, and none of the statesmen in that State ranked higher in the esteem of the people than he did. Gen. Alcon. also, was a favorite with the people. The writer met both, frequently, during lire early years of the war, and speaks ad- viscdly as to the estimate placed upon them by the public. Where men of such The official vote of the State, at the late election was declared last evening. The result corresponded with what we have heretofore announced—a complete triumph of the friends of Reconstruction. The political character of the Convention elect has not been questioned. But some of the disunionists have t questioned the vote. Let this be analyzed by the grum blers: The Registered List numbered 188,647: the vote cast 106,410; majority of register ed voters that voted 12,086. “For a Conven tion,” 102,283. “Against a Convention,” 4,127; majority for Convention 98,156. Vote for Convention, 102,283; majority of vote “FOR A CONVENTION-” over half the Registered vote, 12,087. The Registration lists gave about 10,000 majority white voters. About 36,000 of these voted for Convention, and in favor of Reconstruction. Thus the people of Georgia have recorded their verdict. As I ! to their future decision there can be no ■ doubt. They will return to the Union. Personal. It is announced that Mr. Stephens, by invitation, has consented to address the citizens of New York on “ the condition of the South.” G. B. Crittenden, who commanded the Confederate forces at the battle in which Zollicofl'er was killed, but afterwards took no part in the war, has been pardoned. A notable correction of a malicious re-". cetl * , '£ weeks of the present term, have port was made by the telegraphic press re porter nt Savannah, yesterday. We quote the dispatch: “The report extensively circulated in this city and elsewhere, that a true bill had been presented by the grand jury in the United States District Court against Hon. Foster Blodgett, for perjury, in taking the official oath as Postmaster at Augusta, is found to be entirely false. District Attor ney Fitch stated this morning, in Court, that n*> case against Blodgett was before the Court. It is reported that action will be taken against the instigators for mali cious persecution. The Atlanta Opinion learns that “Gen Pope has directed Treasurer Jones to dis burse from the State Treasury, during the ensuing year, to the benevolent institu tions of the State, amounts equal to the ap propriation made last year by the legisla ture. This will enable the unfortunates to be provided for. The taxes now being col lected, with other incomes of the State will supply the means.” We would like for the astute editor of the Opinion t«> designate those clauses of the Reconstruction acts which authorize Gen. Pope to take control of the Treasury of the State, and its benevolent institutions. Columbus Ewjuirer If the editor of the Enquirer has not ye learned the comprehensive definition of the word “ Provisional Government,” we shall not, at his late day, undertake to in struct him. That he has not sympathy enough for the unfortunates of the State, to lead him to applaud the action of Gen. >tamlard worth espouse a just cause, the j Pope, we regret. The Provisional tax principles they advocate are sure to suc- 0 ecd. Probable Early Rei*eal ok the Cot ton Tax.—The Baltimore Sun's Washing ton sj>eeial of the 11th says: “From the members of Congress who have been here recently, and others now in the city, it ap- pears that there is strong probability that the tax on cotton will be repealed shortly after Congress convenes. The pressure in favor of this repeal in all directions of the North from influential citizens is almost irresistible.” Trout Superior Court.—The Novcm- l>er Term of this Court will begin on Mon day next. Judge Collier, we suppose, will preside. To this, the LaGrange Reporter adds: We are glad to learn’that our new Judge is winning favor wherever he has presided since his recent appointment to this (the Coweta) Circuit, «tce Judge War ner appointed to the Supreme Bench of the State. If General Pope should issue no ~ bull ” to the contrary, our young and payers contribute enough to our I’rovis ional Treasury to support our Benevolent Institutions. Why,in the name of the great est of the three virtues—Charity—should not these be taken care of, before wealthy Provisional oflicers are provided for? Will tire Enquirer and other grumblers an swer ? Gen. Pope's Order to the Treasurer. In commenting yesterday on a paragraph copied from the Atlanta Opinion, regard ing an order said to have been issued by General Pope to Treasurer Jones, remark’s were based upon an interpretation which we are convinced was incorrect. We supposed the order extended to a duplica tion of all the benevolent appropriations made by the last Legislature, and was not confined strictly to established State insti tutions that are obliged to be carried on, and for the support of which, from the Treasury, without appropriations by law, the absolute necessity of the case could be rightfully pleaded in justification— such as the Academy for the Blind, the Deaf and Dumb anu Lunatic Asylums, etc., etc. The above, from the Macon Telegraph indefatigable Solicitor General, Win.

M. A battalion of United States troops, under the command of Major Charles O. Wood, Ninth Infantry, was drawn up in front of the Governor's resi dence. By half-past 3 o’clock a large con course had assembled, comprising Ameri cans, Russians, Creoles and Indians. At the last named hour the Russian forts and fleet fired salutes in honor of the low erin'; of the Russian flag, but the flag would not come down. In lowering, it was torn its entire width close by the halyards, and floated from the cross-trees, forty feet from the ground. Three Rus sian sailors attempted to ascend the inch and a half guy-ropes, supporting the flag staff, but each failed.

Rousseau as follows : “General: As Commissioner of his Im perial Majesty', the Emperor of Russia, I now' transfer and deliver the territory of Russian America, ceded by liis Majesty to the United States. General Rousseau, in response, as the American flag ascended, said. “Captain : As Commissioner on behalf of the United States Government I receive and cccept the same accordingly.” The words were spoken in the tone of common conversation and were only heard by Governor Makestoaff, General Jeff. C. Davis, Captain Kuskal and a few others who formed the group. Several ladies witnessed the ceremonies, among them Princess Makestoaff, Mrs. Gen. Davisr’aml Mrs. Major Wood. The Princess wept audibly as the Russian flag went down. The transfer was conducted in a purely diplomatic and business-like manner. Tire entire transaction was concluded in a few hours, the Ossipee, with the Commissioner on board, steaming into the harbor at 11 o’clock in the forenoon, and at 4 o’clock in the afternoon a dozen American flags floated over the newly-born American city of Sitka. New Archangel, Nov. 3.—The Russian Commisioners have protested against the occupancy of the fur company build ings by the United States troops. By courtesy, the troops are now shel tered, and the supplies stored. The matter will he referred to Mr. Seward. Much ill- feeling has been exhibited since our occu pation of the city. Seven duels on paper occurred, hut were settled without blood shed. The parties are of high rank. The United States steamer Ossipee was nearly wrecked on the night on the 27th ultimo, when forty miles southeast of Archangel, in the most terrific hurricane ever witnessed on this coast during the past seventy years. She lost all her boats, and considerable sails and rig ging. Tire chronometer . is destroyed, and all fires, but four were put out. and those remaining kept alive by burning oil, tallow, grease, lard, candles and like substances. She shipped an im- sea, doing great injury to the powder in the magazine. Forty-six sailors were wounded, but, providentially, none were killed. Gen. Rousseau and his son George, and also, the General’s staff, were on board. The hurricane lasted eighteen hours, and the entire storm between thirty-six and forty hours. Lieutenant Commanded Cross man and the boatswain. William Green, saved the ship by heroic conduct in bat tening the hatchways when the strom raged with the greatest fury r . The engin eers and firemen all behaved nobly. The Ossipee put into Citka harbor on the evening of the 28th ultimo, having left here on the evening of the 26th, The United States store-ship Jamestown, and steamer Eesaca, are in port, all well. The yellow fever has been thoroughly killed out. The revenue cutter Lincoln has gone to Staker River, with the United States sur veying party in tow. The chartered ves sels, Milan and Buena Vista, with Govern ment stores for the garrison here, arrived safely. The hurricane swept over the harbor with terrific force. Fifteen vessels were at anchor in the harbor at the time. Three Russian vessels were driven ashore, and a Sandwhich Islands bark badly damaged. Several vessels dragged anchor, and bore down upon each other mercilessly, yet no serious damage was done. Tire steamship John L. Stevens was in their midst, but re ceived no damage. A number of houses were blown down, but no lives lost. ftilly cocupied and covered the ground Indeed, in the opinion of this jury, so little attention has been obtained, or action had, on the recommendations of our predeces sors that we deem recommendations and investigations almost useless. Time and again the prompt attention of our Courts and citizens has been called to the condi tion of affairs in the administration of the Sheriff’s office, in times gone by, namely: In the matter of fi. fas. it being a notorious fact that from laz administration, it is now impossible to know whether or not any levies exist on property. Many fi. fas. that have been satisfied have never been returned to the office, consequently there is no evidence on record of such satisfac tion. It is certainly the duty* of somebody to right this wrong. Whose duty is it? Many Grand Juries have called attention to this matter, and last spring a commis- , sion was appointed to examine into and i report on this and other matters. What is the result? No report. Why? The only reason we can hear of is, that the parties entrusted with the duty, applied to the In ferior Court to know if their services would be paid for by that Court, and were told that they would not, and that in conse quence they declined to act. The County Court lias been brought to our notice and grave charges made, suf ficiently attested, to warrant an investiga tion before the proper tribunals, and with them we leave the questions involved. This jury feels constrained to say that in their opinion it is impossible for them or any other jury, constantly interrupted by special jury cases, to give the various books and important accounts of the different offices a thorough and intelligent investi gation. and we therefore repeat the recom mendations of our predecessors that the Court appoint a commission and make suitable provision for their services, and that such persons appointed report in full, with tabular statement of the debt of the county, and what it was contracted for, and when. We would also renew the recommenda tion of a former Grand Jury that the City Hall building be enclosed by a neat and substantial fence. We believe that all jurors should be paid, and therefore recommend to the next Legislature the passage of an act providing for the payment of all Grand and Petit Jurors. We would do violence to our feelings were we to close these presentments without expressing our acknowledgments to his honor, Judge Collier, for his uniform courtesy to us, and our high admiration for his character Hind legal ability. To Col. Hulsey, wo found a vigilant and courteous ‘ “ c officer, ever watchful of the public i interests, faithful in the discharge of duty and prompt in his attentions to the wishes of this .Jury, We also return our thanks to our bailiff, Mr. McLin for his many attentions. Also, to Patrick Fitzgibbon for many services rendered. We respectfully request that these pro ceedings be published in such of our city papers as are willing to do the same as a matter of public interest. J. A. HAYDEN, Foreman. Coleman F.
