he makes no mention of adjourned sessions
not he. The session of 1889 was composed
of members OF the same political school with
himself--his political friends therefore II
was right and proper that there should be adj
liourned sessions-now, however the tables
are turned there is majority against him
and it is wrong-itis ueru wrong for the wings
to meet at an adjourned session. Thus in his
morbid anxiety to forestall public opinion and
fix unmerited odium IN adcance, upon Wing
Legislature, he gives his loco foco friends o
hard rap over the knuckles, by thus abruptly
referring to their adjourned sessions, and asser-
ting that an examination will show that spe-
+ cial sessions have been productive OF little
good and much mischief;" yet he seems will
ling TO sacrifice his quondam friends, SO he can
but include the Wings with them. Again he
says, "since your adjournment enc fifth the
Senators and one third of the Representatives
have vacated their seats''-"under such cir
cumstances improvident legislation may well
be apprehended."
How unfortunatel Really, its too bad
and all of this is to happen because "them
Wings" presumed to fill the vacant places in
the council of the Sachems. The Chief of
the nsagi does not seem to brook this unseason-
able interruption to his darling measures
We can readily fancy we see him standing on
the head of a barrel, inspired by the "-osy
God" with aquart bottle for his wand, exclaim-
ing to the intrusive Wings in the language of
the weird Pythoness of old, but with far more
solemnity and earnestness, "Procult O, pro-
cul este protanil' But enough of this for
the present. We have not room to continue
our review of this dignfed State paper this
week. In our next we will take up and con-
slider that portion of this Message, that alludes
to the Union Bank and the State Bonds.
We commend to the perusal of our readers,
the subjoined remarks of the Editors of the n
O. Bulletin. 1t is true that the document bear
ing the signature of A. c. McNutt, as his an
nual Message to the Legislature, is emphatic
ally demoralizng and infamous. With the
recklessness of a political partizan, and the
morbid bitterness of disappointed arpirant,
he has, in this same Message stabbed at the
reputation of the State over which he has the
honor to preside, and appealed to the worst
principles of our nature for the purpose of ele-
waiting himself and his peculiar party, upon
he rs'inr, 76 hair,-7cantrv's credit and public
faith. With Shakespeare we say, "Let n,

I.'SALE OF THE MISS. STATE BONDS
"The most thorough Loco-foco documen
which we have seen for some time, is the las
message of the Governor of Mississippi
Under the pretext of curtaiing State expen
Ises, the independence of the Judiciary is assail
ed, by recommending the reduction of the sal
aries of the Judges to mere pittance not com
petent to their maintenance. Under the same
disguise an attack is made on the credit and
public faith of the State. The Governor en-
tiers into long argument to show that the sale
of five million of Mississippi State Bonds, in
1888, was illegal, and that the State ough,
not to pay them. 1t is alleged that the actual
purchasers of the bonds was the Bank of the
United States, and that this institution is pro.
hibted from dealing in State stocks The fol-
lowing grounds are assigned as reasons why
the sale should have no obligatory force upon
the State;-lst. The bank is prohibited by its
charter from purchasing such stocks, ethe,
directly or indirectly. Cd. 1t was fraudulen,
on the part of that Bank, inasmuch as the
contract was made in the name of an indiyid.
