Tim ElPIRE OF LAW IN MIssSSIPPI -As law is but the expression of the put> lic will in its most tinimpassioned d sol emn fort, it is preposterous to think ofulp position to it in any other ilian a legal wuy. We disabuse the great body of the citizen., of Mississippi. of any wish tio trample upon or to overthrow the laws which have been framed by their united wisloin and expe rience. And , hile we admit that tnany outrageous individual acts of violence have been perpetrated in various parts or our state, we can account for them wnithout 'feeling a single rear for the stability of.law. and without any painful anxiety lest the eitements of misrule and anarchy should gain'the ascendtncy in our community. The causes of Irritation and pecuniary depression are most evident; first, the cred it system, and the extreme facility with . which planters. just opening their planta tions, could obtain advances fur the pur. chase of negroes from commission houses -which advances were obtained by those houses from the banks. Such sudden and easily obtained suins of money could not but engender habits of speculation, waste fuliess or improvidence ror the future. We are now seeing and feeling the 'begin ning of the end' of such a course. The inflictions will, in some cases, he bitter; pride will, be humbled ,s property chan ges hands-yet we feel confideuit that law and right will be sustained-thai the dis cordant elements ofpassion will be hush ed to rest by the general prevaleice of good feeling and the love of order inher -nt in the better portions ofour conmmtinity. GAMCLIvo EsTALIsuMET BROICKIN vP-Thew lessee of a house in Campsireet, who apparently commenced business here as commission merchant last winter, hav ing some time ago lelt the city under sus picious circumstances-ye1terday some workmen were employed to break open the premises, when they disctwered, instead of a store filled with goods, a complete gani. bling establishment, fitted up in a style the like of which is not so often to he met with. In' the centre of the room was a table, and directly above, in the ceilin, were cut several holes through which wires led down towardb the spot whcre the pro prietor is supposed to take his seat. Thete wires were so arranged that they could lie used to convey information as to the kinds of cards of his victim.
