Indictment of Mongrel Officials.
We learn from the Vicksburg Herald that the Grand Jury of Warren county has indicted all the members of the Board of Supervisors, and the Assessor of taxes, E. W. Folkes, for a misdemeanor and malfeasance in office! The Supervisors are Dr. Leitch, McGhee, and Alexander, white, and the negroes Henry Hunt, and Albert Johnson. Leitch and Folkes, have been arrested and held to bail, and the Herald presumes that the others will be. That journal demands of Sheriff Furlong, the prompt arrest of each one of the criminals, and especially of Albert Johnson, who to the honor of filling the office of Supervisor thrust upon him by Alcorn, joins that of Representative in the Legislature from Warren county.
