I'VE commend the following article from tbau.
sssippian TO the attention Of our readers Thu
itor OF the Mississippian has been an eve wiln,,,
the labors of the Hon. Samuel Butler, durin, i
legislative career, aid wen knows in villa, es,;,,
ton he is held by the democracy of the state az nj
as the people of the county he represents
WORTHY EXAMPLE.
II is stated that, Mr.. Butler, one of lie REM.
sentatives Gom Lowndes, has resigned an oiS,s
which he held in one of the banks Of COLUMN,
and has also resigned his seat in the Legs,ah,.
for the purpose of running the contest over III.
public, and the members themselves are beon.
ming 10 see ,s2 compatibility Of The two stations
Again we call on all members who are bahss I.
rectors to resign the one place or The other, and
let US have legislature prepared to legisaie ia.
partially upon the first interests of the country.
Men ~ill mol act for the public interests in q,
matter, when their fortunes are involved in he
fate OF the banks. With sound legislation We can
have sound currency, and with sound curen.
cy Mississippi must be one Of the first States in
| the Union.
| We trust Mr. Butler will be re elected, and
have no doubt such will be the result. We should
regret extremely TO sec him left out. He sm
able, attentive and industrious representative, d.
ways watchlul of the rights and interests OILS
constituents. He is sound upon the subectd
the banks, and did every thing in his power attn
last session to prevent the multiplication o(n
sound banks, and to better the currency. IEl
his counsels, and those with whom he acted m
vailed, we should not now have beel afflicted VIII
such deprecated currency. The State wetb
now have had money which it could have used i
its purchases.
With such men as Mr.. Butler in the Lcrila
ture' the country has nothing to fear. The pco
pie will be relieved from continuation Of ra
ten moneytary system. -.nississippiaa.

of the public lands under the act OF Congcss Of
the nineteenth of June 1884"
abe il enacted &C., That all the purchases Of
the public lands permitted to be made hcrttclos
by the registers and receivers Of the various land
Offices Of the United States in the State Of Ms.
sissippi, under the act Of the Nineteenth Of June
Eighteen hundred and thirty-four, be, and tN
same are hereby confirmed and patents shall be
issued accordingly; Provided, nevertheless, that
no confirmation shall operate, or patent issucdD
any Of the above mentioned cases in Which ang
fraud IN the opinion Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, has been practised in making such purchase,
or case where there arc adverse claimants 70
the same"
i feel sure that there will be no serious obrt'
ton TO the passage Of the bill in the House o.
Representatives, and am much in hopes that our
Representatives will be as fortunate there as
have been in the Senate, in procuring The mne.
date action of the House upon it, For but ioI
the kindness and indulgence Of the Senate IN post
poning the previous orders Of the day to enable
me to take up this bill, it would moi have been
reached for several weeks, and thus all hope Of
passing il through the two houses during the pes
ent Session would have been eilectually cut OIL
In haste your friend and servi,
