ia one and two years al per cen ..ter-
est,) came up FOR consideration, altefa long
debate, nwhich many members pt9tlclpa-
ted, the resolution was referred to new
committee on montion Of Mr.. Stewart Of
Kinds, with power to report bill. when
this bill was reported, Gen'. Brown, op,
posed it,with very sensible speech against
it's provisions, declaring his adherence 70
the post note system.-These remarks
were published in the Natchez Free Ira
der, some time during the month OF April.
After another animated debate on this bill,
the whole was stricken out, on motion OF
MIR. Hopes, except the enacting clause.
The next day the House again acted on
tho bill with only captivc"-many a.
mendments we're proposed, among them,
the following by Genl. Brown--"I'hat the
Union Bank may, at discretion, issue post
notes, bearing not less than sir per cent.
interest, and not having more than one
year to rum" Gen. B. stated that in Offer
ing this amendment, he wished TO take the
responsibility from the Legislature; that
if the Legislature authorised the bank to
issue post notes, and it turned out bad
policy, (which he believed it would) then
the managers of the bank would say to the
Legislature" you Authorised us do it, and
it is not our FAULT He stated further, that,
according to the construction of the post
note law, the managers Of the Union Bank
had right TO issue post notes already, and
he could see no reason why the Legislature
should re-enact a law, which gentlemen
contended had not been repealed. lie
would however, be willing to 60 as far as
his amendment specfied-because he did
not think it advisable to name the amount
Of post notes to be issued-let that respon'
sibilily rest with the managers Of The bank,
and not with the Legislature, he was
clearly Of opinion that rate of interest
less than sin per cent. would have ten.
dency to depreciate the post notes 20 per
cent. the moment they were in circulation.
The amendment of Gen. b. was noted
down: and he voted against the post note
bill of the House of Representatives ON its
passage. Gen. Brown therefore is no
"shin. plaster candidate" and DR.. Holscy,
we have no doubt, will vote for Gcnl. B.
because he is no "post note man." Is the
editor of the Wing satisfied that, "last
winter he (Gen. b. was (noD pos, note
man, now he denounces post notes and all
who support them"- Vicksbmg Sentinel.

The Mississippian Of July 18th, con-
tains an admirable article setting forth
most clearly, the course pursued by the
wing party in our state legislature, in re-
gard to the banks. 1t is there well esta'
blished, that every shin-plaster bank Gre
ated within the last three years, owes its
existence mainly to the federal party, as
is amply proved by reference to the jour
nails for those years, in every instance
when the "ayes and noes" were taken.
Mr.. Prentiss avowed himself at Vicks-
burg, as unalterably opposed to the sys-I
tenn, and had been uniformly so: yet, this
aforesaid Mr.. Prentiss did, whilst men,
Der Of the legislature, vote for every char
ter proposed; sustained and advocated the
passage Of each, with all his Eeal-so
much for Mr.. P's opposition.
Col. Bingaman, also, has universally
sustained every charter incorporating a
bank since 1890; he voted to take off the
damages on protested bank notes, enabling
those shaving machines to suspend at
pleasure, and even under suspension to
declare large dividends upon their pro-
ceeds stolen from the people. When
bank scheme was proposed, the champion
Of federalism, (Col. Bingaran,) spread
himself in aiding to carry It out; when
representing in the senate, the county Of
Adams, renowned for shaving, discounts
and financiers, no less than for its s,Uelled
heads, whose souls never scared higher
than to understand the geography Of a
dollar, or TO make an destinations display
Of their plate and furniture, and drinking
down Circean like, huge draughts Of
champaign, sc. To those who admire a
community who have grown fat and sleek
upon their discounts, exchanges, commits
sions, drayage, insurance, &C., one raised
in that circle may be acceptable. But ah /!
Ye anti-state bank men, you good cmren-
cy gentry, can you 60 the colonel, who
voted for all our petty banks? If SO,
gulp him down.

this week clothed in deep mourning. -
Death has been among us, and with unerr-
ing aim, has taken a shining mark. Col.
NATHAN LISTER, the publisher Of this
paper, is no more-he died in this city on

1t has never been our lot to chronicle
the death Of a more estimable and worthy
young man. He had but a few days pre-
vious to his illness become the publisher
Of the Mississippian newspaper, and had
issued only one number. He was in the
morning Of his life, with brilliant pros
poets, and broad theatre Of usefulness,
cut down and swept from existence, from
ambition and the busy scenes and occu-
pations Of men. What Lesson to those
who remain, teaching us what shadows

We have frequently asserted, that we
number amongst our warmest and best
friends, many gentlemen belonging to
what is now termed the Wing party; that
we regard them as an intelligent party
animated, perhaps, by the same spirit Of
patriotism which influences those who be-
long to the democratic. We were not
mistaken in saying that many, very many
of the wings are genuine clever fellows;
for in this, as we'll as Yazoo, Carroll, in
fact every county in the state, they openly
avow their support Of Gov. M'Nutt. This
support is based upon the fact that the
present executive has proved himself an
active, prompt and efficient chief magis-
