It is instructive to look back upon the
events which are now matters of past history.
1t is the part of wisdom TO weigh in the bal
ance of experience the things which haze
been, that we may in some sort form an opin-
ion of that which shall be. Revolutions are
eras in the worlds history. A few years
may bring to pass events which strike us
with wonder, and which may not again trans
pire for ages. Such is the case with the
great revulson in the commerce and trade OF
the United States within the past four years;
particularly the trade of Banking. There
is matter enough in the history of those four
or FIVE years, TO enlighten the commercial
world for the next five hundred. Wonder
full indeed, has been the overthrow, the crash,
the ruin of hundreds of thousands How
much has been lost by the holders of Missis-
sippi bank notes and bank stocks alone! In
round numbers we will say land beIolO the
mark TWENTY-FIVE MILLIONS OF DoLLARs!-
How much in other States we cannot begin
TO estimate. We know of one great concern
alone which has caused loss of over thirty
millions to the owners of its stock;-a con
Germ which was, in the plenitude of it's pow
er, to restore the Southern Banks to cash pay
ments. On the 31st May, 1898, the pres-
dent wrote as follows:
"I see now, what until now have not
seen, the means Of restoring the currency.
''I rejoice, very sincerely, at the termina-
ton Of this unhappy controversy, repeal of
the Specie Circular) and shall cordially CO.
operate with the Government by promoting
what the banks are, am sure, anxious to
effect, an early resumption of specie pay
ments throughout the Union.
With great Respect,
N. BIDDLE.

At the date of this letter, the stock in the

We have learned that John d. Freemen
says that estate Bonds are Bills Of credit
and therefore unconstitutional" John
ought to publish this "decision" in law
book, and then The Supreme Court Of the
United States and Chancellor Kent. Il e on
ly Courts in this country except Johns
which have decided that question, would
be thrown entirely in the shade, and Chief
Justice Johns decision would of course

The FRAUD PRACTIcED UpoN THE People.
Il is fraud upon the people a d an i'm
position upon their credulily to b told by
the anti-bond orators that if theJ vote in
November against the payment Of E bonds
il will settle the question and no father LA
bility against the state can be held br man
tained' This we say is a gross imposition
upon the people. Suppose The beds are
repudiated by our LegisIatureR does that
take them up2 Does il satisfy tie lenders
of the money? Does it change he liabiI-
ty OF the State? Why the idea is prepos /.
ferrous. If the state is bound NOV she will
be bound after The election, 10 matter
how the people may vote. AM if she is
not bonnd now she cannot hdreafier be
bound without The consent of lie people.
What can be more plain than this
The anti-bond orators say the State is
not bound TO pay the debt. Then what is
all this fuss about. No body is 10 favor OF
placing any additional obligation upon the
State. No body is in favor of incurring
taxation. The anti-bond party Of thi,
county say the bonds ought to be paid we
think. so too. But Mr.. Freeman who is one
Of their candidates says sit would be i'm

bonds were not issued at all. This wpulc

we do hear.

our Candidates.

We this day place at the head of our
columns the names of CHARLES E. MOUNT,
Esq, and Mr.. BENJAMIN LEWIS, as the Whig
Bond paying candidates to represent this
county in the lower branch Of the next State
Legislaturer.
Chal's E. Mount was one ofour late Repre-
sentatives, and it is acknowledged by all,
that he faithfully and sedulously performed
the duties pertaining to that important station,
always warmly advocating that which he
deemed to be for the interest of his constitu-
ents. Mr.. Mount is an able orator, and has
heretofore received the undivided attention
Of the House, when speaking. Mr.. Lewis
is a man of sterling integrity and TALENT
being planter, his time unemployed in the
duties of his farm, has been too limited for
him to partake in the political discussions of
the State. He is a staunch Wing. With
two such men as our candidates, we hold
forth our ticket as the Wing banner, which
will inlNOvember next,again wave triumph
antly over another defeat of its enemies.

In Holmes county the people who re-
cognise the validity of contracts and the de-
gality of law, have nothing to fear The
honest yeOmanry are too strong for the com
bined influence of the Union Bank debtors
and the ant-bond payers. We understand
that DIR. KEARN, the Candidate for the Sen
ate and Messrs. LAND and BROOK, the can
didales for the House of Representatives,
are securing the county the right way. They
are exposing TO the people the shameless
hypocrisy of that class, by far the most
powerful and influential of the anti-bond
payers, who are the debtors of the Union
Bank, and are making the most strenuous
efforts to destroy the Union Bank Charter
in order that they cannot be compelled to
pay back the money they borrowed and
thus throw the burden upon the people,
And they are showing the people the utter
fallacy of the flmsey attempt 10 mvstify the
law which bears upon this question, in order
that it may not be understood by the people,
The bond candidates in Holmes have taken
bold, decisive and manly ground and they
are sure 10 maintain their positions. 1t is
in Holmes as it is in this county, a reaction,
powerful and permanent, is rapidly taking
place, and the Constitution, the Law and
the honor of the county will be maintained

The Climax of Impudence.

What a gross imposition is attempted TO
be palmed upon The people, by the anti-bond
payers, in telling them that nothing farther
is necessary in deciding the question of the
liability of the Stale 10 meet her bonds but a
vote of the people! No well informed man
can make such statement without the de-
liberate intention of leading the people into
gross and dangerous error. It is the law
Of this State, a law too which is specially
directed by the Constitution to be made, that
any person having claim against the State,
may sue the State in the Chancery Court,
and either in that Court or the High Court of
Errors and Appeals The claim must be finally
decided. If these Courts decide against the
State, the same law especially directs that
the money shall be paid out of the State Treas
ury. This law is found in Howard & Hutch
ison's Laws of Mississippi" page 524, Now,
how can an informed man, with the slight
est regard for truth, tell the people that they
can decide upon the validity of these claims
by their votes, without first altering the Con-
stitutiOn and repeating this law? The i'm
pudence and efFrontery Of those anti-bond
anti-honest advocates, is beyound all bounds.

blind to every thing like common sense, the rive
Millions RECEIVED, would have restored a sound
currency to Mississippi, and all this wrangling a.
bout the payment Of the bonds would never have
existed.
1t is common to hear people say that the Mis-
sissippi bonds were sold to the s'Ex.King Of Hol-
land''--"Engish fundmungers," &c, and that
they cheated the State ont of Million OF dollars
in the purchase The latter have, | think, de-
monstrated sufficiently to show which party was
cheated in the operation. / will now proceed to
show who the Stockholders in the United States
Bank were at the time of the purchase, taken
from authentic documents, short time previous
The Stock was owned as follows
The New England States $3,111,0OO
New York & New Jersey 100000
District Of Columbia 2,O27 900
Virginia & North Carolina 894 900
S. Carolina & Georgia 1901 900
Pennsylvania $4,000
The Government Stock in
the Old Bank purchased
by the New 6,273 600
Other States 80 900
Foreigners 9,168 900
The above is the manner in which the stock
was held. The Bank placed these bonds in the
hands OF the "tund-mungersi' and received Loan
upon the deposit, but is bound to redeem them.
Hence it follows that all the above mentioned
States have direct interest in the payment of
the Mississippi State Debt; that, in other words,
they loaned as the greater portion Of the sum sCich
ace nOa0 ucish TO refuse The payment Of What will
the people of those states think of Mississippi
should she take the stand assumed for her by the
anti-payers?
The pitiful plea that our Constitution was vo-
lated, will not save us from the infamy that will
rest upon the name of our once proud State of
Mississippi.
Give us back, they will say then, our Five Mil
lions OF Dollars if it was not lawful for you TO re-
ceive 1t. But we have made use oft. We have in
vested the amount in lands and negroes, paid off
executions and pressing debts; loaned it to men
who have gone to Texas; and otherwise squan-
dered the money which you ought not TO have
lent Us because it was in derogaton OF our Con-
stitution. Then if It was not loaned in accord
ance with the Constitution, why did not your pub
lie authorities inform US before the money was
expended? by did you receiveit?
Your Legislature met when there was only one
million yet paid, January, 1880 why were moi
those facts then declared, and steps taken to re.
strain the Bank from receiving the remainder Of
the loan, thereby enabling the bond-hoders to re.
turn the bonds and cancel the sale! Shame or
you Mississippians!
Will you suffer a transaction, stamped with all
the dignity ofpublic authority, to be denied upon
the hypOcrtical pretext that it would be unconstt
tutionat IN you to return the money you borrowed
in good faith, from the citizens of other Statesl
Is it uniactid to be honest in Mississippi! Then
| why deny the business of this claim! A. C.
