executions issuing from any court of this

three disinterested persons one chosen
by the plaintiff, one by the Sheriff and
one by the defendant and the Sheriff is
torbidden to sell unless he sets a bid lor
two-thirds of the appraised value thereof,

the Government of the Stale, at the
present, is a matter of absolute necessity
f be only discration., that can now b
rwnbvaL,,. .0 i.. a n
crimination as to the kind of p
used. .
The national bank bills in question are
by law receivable in payment of all dues
to the Government ol the United .Mates
except export duties, and interest on the
public debt. 1 he only ditterence between
the two classes of paper arising out of the
laws of the United b ates regulating the
use thereof, is found in the provisions o
the law making treasury no.es proper,
tender in law in the payment ot individ
ual debts. They are alike receivable in
payment of dues to the Government, as
well as good payment on all debts due by
the Government to individuals. Ihey
are now alike us-d as a currency by the
people ot Mississippi, as well as by th
treasury thereof, under our laws as they
now exist. To change the laws so as to
make one class receivabe in payment ot
the large amount of taxes, soon to be col
lected from the people of this State, to
the exclusion of the other, much the lar
ger class, of paper now in circulation,
would prove ruiuous to the tax payers in
the State. An instantaneous fictitious
change in the relative value ot the two
classes of bills (now used and regarded as
equal in value) would ne the result.
Those of our people controlling the great-
est amount ot moniea capital, ana pos
sessing the greatest amount ot financial
skill, would hoard up, contiol and effect
ually withdraw from circulation the mo
appreciated ; and the most depreciated
would at once constitute mainly the c.i-
culation in the State.
Under this state of case, the tax pay
era would be forced to enter the market,
controlled by brokers and money dealers,
and forced to buy tax fuuds at a h w. y
sacrifice to themselves. Your committee
are of opinion, tha the only system of
legislation by which these evils can now
be averted, is, by making both these olas-
ser ot paper alike receivable in payment
of all taxes and other dues to the State

A Sikovlax Mistake, At the recent
burial of a soldier and a young lody in a
town near Paris, the fuue-al authorities
made the singular mistake of confound
ing" the two. The lady was interred with
military honors, a dragoon regiment fol
lowing her to tiie grave, while the sol
diers corno was coverea wiid wnite ara
pery and flowers, aa the symbols ot virgin
purity, and was carried to the grave by
four ladies, a whole galaxy of fair dam,
sels escorting the trooper's remains and
chanting funeral hymns.

which have been for some time in pro

Krupp's establishment in Prussia, there
can be little doubt tbat in Austria, where
(k. n ii ui- L . tm m m, ift fctavi n vi ti for otc el
making can be obtained, a similar under
taking would be successful and very
profitable.
