Stone offered the following: To the Honorable Senate and House of Representat.vei of the Legislature of the State or Mississippi: The undersigned Committee represent ing the members of the Cotton Planters' Association from the State of Mississippi, and acting in this body, respectfully memoralize yonr humble bodies as follows: The World s Industrial and Uotton' Cen tennial Exposition to be held in New Or leans in 1884-'S5 will be the culmina tion of that sentiment awakened through out the South in recent years, which found expression in the Atlantic, Louis ville and similar Expositions and through which, if continued, prosperity and devel opments the New South is to be attained by the co-operated effort of our own peo ple and the exhibition to the world in at tractive form and under unfavorable aus pices the visible, tangible evidence of the fertility of our sou, the weaitn or our mines and the salubrity of our climate. The importance of this exhibition can hardly be over-estimated to those States which shall properly avail themselves of b opportunity offered by presenting to the view of all nations and all people tbor-; oujrhly prepared and carefully arranged exhibits of each and all of their resource and products. To such a shall dem onstrate their boumlle.-s wealth only i awaiting population and capital to be called into being, this Exposition will form beneficent creation. Such is the convic tion of your memorialists, and feeling thus we desiru to see Mississippi take that place in the World's Industrial and Cotton Cen tennial Exposition to which she is entitled by virtue of her rank among the cotton producing States, the variety and richness of the products, the euergy, intelligence and patriotism of her people. She can only do this by filling the place allotted to her in the Exposition with an exhibit of everything Within her borders, which now contributes to the comfort and wealth of man, or which by development can be made to do so, an exhibit so carefully and thoroughly prepared and placed before the world as to challenge the admiration of all and prove a source of pride and gratifica tion to our own people. To this end a lib eral and generous appropriation upon the part of the State is ueccessary. Your mf morialists therefore, respectfully ask, and nrge npon your honorable bodies that in the best interest of our common State, at an early day of your session you do appro priate the sum of $50,000 to be expended by such agents and under such limitations as you may see fit to designate, for the purpose theoin indicated. Respectfully, The Mississippi Delegation. Whereupon it was Hesolrrd, That the memorial of the Mis sissippi members of this Association to the Mississippi legislature be, and is hereby heartily endorsed and jointed iu by this Association, and that the Secretary of this Association is hereby instructed to forward to the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of the next Legislature of Mississippi a copy of said memorial and of this resolution.

A point in Cant Baker's speech on Mon day, on the Railroad Supervison question was not perhaps as strongly dwelt on in the synoptised report as it should have been. Mr. Baker is an advocate of Super vision, and always had been, but the man ner of Supervision as laid down in the bill, he objected to. In the report of Mr. Norrell's speech on Supervision published in Tuesday a paper, read in-expedient instead of expedient in the eleventh line from the bottom of the page.

KXFLY TO O. W. n., I I r ATSOND OAZITTB. Hinds county owes a debt of 1 100,000, duo in 1885. This debt uccumulittcd during the reconstruction period, any from 1805 to 1872, and was funded in 1X73 into 8 per cent bonds These bonds originally amounted to nearly $200,000, and tho war rants for which they Issued had been bought at an average price of about 1'5 cents on the dollar. G. W. II. can perhnps inform ns who some of tho fortunate purchasers were. But the county funded them at par without quibbling a'tout speculators; an honorable adjustment of tho debt forbade any other course. In 18a0, the county was asked to take stock to the amount of $200,000 in the N., J. i C. R. Kn which she did, and issued her 7 per cent iion-tiunble bonds, due one-half in ten and ona-balf in fifteen years, for same. The assumption of this debt was vigorously opposed by the larger tax-paying class, but they were lurgcly outvoted, and, if (i. W. U. and Geo. W . Harper are one and the same person, he of all men in the country is the most responsible for the assnmptiod of the debt. W'it'.iin the last ten years several thiues h"ve conspired to place yet another debt on tie cnnty. The school fund got behind, and, nnder thi decision Inst year of t ie 8 ipreme C on -', the school trfaclier'e certific ites isned f'r the yesrs I8H0,-'8I and 182, an 1 still unpaid, wers left without remedy. The fault can be traced to no tne person orc'ass. Mi l Last of all to the holders of the certificates They are held by teao'iers and by those whom G. W. H. is pleaded to call "speculators." This floating debt is about $70,000 or $75, 000. Thus much for the debt Now for G. W. H's tirade against speculators his ''thundering boom" against any more bonds and his "popular method of paying the debt The bill framed and in the binds of the Committee was notgotten up in the inter est of speculators but for the benefit of the holders of the certificates and pre-eminently for the benefit of teachers It was a proposition from a creditor to a debtor for compounding an indebtedness and pro Tiding for its payment So far from being the doings of speculators the . retiring Board of Supervisors bav memorialized the Legislature to have the dtibt funded; many of the teachers have duue likewise, but no purchaser of certificate "specula tor" if you please has signed such a docu ment. As to the tax-payers, many have To ths Mississippi Lejisl TB 111 Cll UNtflff ' Owing to the advanced season, vc arc now of fering our immense stock oi Winter Clotning9 Consisting of a full ME I, BOYS AND CHILDREN, Also OVERCOATS and TANTS St tin Our Gents WsliiDi I'niltrellas, Valisos, 1'tc, will be CAPITAL CLOTHING EMPORIUM. Stale Street, Jackson, Mississippi. WrOrdor by mail promptly attended to. been consulted and almost as a unit favor the bill. The "thundering boom" against ant more bonds bus not yet reached this part of the county. We aro in favor of an econom ical administration and n reduction of eipeuse, but any attempt at retrenchment by repudiating an honest debt will be met with the sturdy resistance that honor de mands. No one (piestions the justice of tho obligation. To whom was it made? l'o sons nnd daughters ? Yes, lnrgely to the daughters of Hinds, who, unfortunately, hy the too vigorous rules of our Koutherr society find tho school-room almost the only escape from dependence. It shnmei me that one of my countrymen should in timate that tho "tax payers" should dictate the terms of settlement with such a credi tor. The "terms" should come from tin holders of the certificates. They do no ask for tho cash, but for a seven per cem bond a bond worth not more than M) t Hti rents on the dollar. Is It asking to. much? Then they will l e far be tirpleasri with the cash, which is but their Jus. pne. But O. W. H. proposes to abolish tl.i publio schools until the indebtedness liquidated. No more debt until the ol one is paid! Stop the schools! Haiti Re trench! "Nay, and thou hnst come here to mouth I'll rant as well as thou." Stop thu poor house! Stop bridge building! Stop repairs on jails and oilier county buildings! Stop thu court and ex penses of the judiciary I Stop them I Stop them until the school debt in paid ; until the old bonds are paid; until the railroad bonds are paid ; until we don't owe a dol lar iu tl e world! Such talk is folly of course it is. Then let us leave it oil, and come like sober men and consider this proposition of our credi trr. It it is fair and good for the county let us accept it ; if it is not, let us provide for tho payment of the debt in cash. ' B. W. GuirriTii. AOKISI'M WANTED!
