BIBLE CoHvENr,oN.-We invite the attention OF
our readers to the address of the Executive Commit
tee of the Bible Convention which will be found
in our columns to-day. The Committee merit the
war1nest thanks, and most hearty cooperation OF
the Ghrlstan public, for the zeal with which they
are discharging the duty assigned them. They are
engaged in work, with respect to the benefits OF
which, there can be no difference of opinion; and
the necessity for its performance is as fully appar-
oat as must: be its beneficial influence.
Ii ought to be, and we think is, the most ardent
wish of every Christian, of whatever name, that
the Word Of God, ahould be placed in the hands OF
cyory individual; and sincerely hope the labour'
{ of those who have attempted this work in South
Carolina will be crowned with complete success,
and that too, pithin the year.
i We should most sincerely rejoice, if 1t the next
meeting of the Convention, every District in the
State shall be found to have completed tho work.

MISSISSIPPI BONDS.

e The Mississippian, of the 18th ult published at
Jaeksou. the sout Of Government Of tho State Of
Mississippi contains interesting correspondence
between Mcssrs. Hope & Co. of Amsterdam, Tru'-
,e.. for the holders of considerable amount Of the
Bonds of the State of Mississippi, and his Excel
iency A. G. ;McNurr, Governor of the State. The
Trustees state that the interest due on these bond'
ON the first of May last, had not been paid, and
urge that the government of the State Of MississP-
: ri should take Immediate measures for tho payment
of the interest now due and which will further sue.
cessiyely become due on those bonds.
sTHesc Bonds amount to five millions OF dollars
and we're issued in June 1888. His Excelency in 70
sply TO the letter of Messrs Hope & Go. commences
by stating that hose bonds were not sold IN accor-
dance with the constitution and laws of this State
ia then enters into history of the sale of the bonds,
ii which he proves conclusivsly from tho con'tltu'
ton, and from the enactments of the Legislature
together with the proceedings Of the agents who
were charged with tho sale, tho position which he
has'assumcd. -

Governor, in answer to Messrs. HorE & Co. will
giye some idea of the feeling on this subject i'll

little doubt. He says: "The money paid for these
bonds did not como into tho State Treasury. The
officers Of this government had no control over It's

with the most severe thunder and lightning we ever
recollect to have witnessed. On Monday, Tuesday

on the river, in consequence of the continued rains
Of freshot; but the river has, as yet, kept very
