LEGISLATURE OF MISSISSIPPI
IN THE SENATE.
Jackson, Wednesday, Jun. Of.


After the regular morning business, Mr..
Miller, from the Select Committee, who
had under consideration a bill, entitled an
act, for the beneiit Of the President, Di-
rectors and Company, Of the Real Estate
Banking Company Of Hinds county, re-
ported the bill 50 amended as TO secure to
the holders OF notes under fifty dollars, The
right to levy on personal estate by virtue
ofan execution issued upon judgment
obtained on said notes, right which was
not secured to such holders by the Lil in
its original form.
Mr.. Marshall, from the Select Commit
tee, TO whom was referred bill providing
for pay warrants of this State, reported a
substitute therefor. This substitute pros
vides that for the convenience of the
people, the large warrants now outstanding
may be redeemed with smaller ones Of the
denominations, five, ten nLd twenty dollars
which, however, are not to bear interest
MIR. Tucker made some remarks ia
opposition 10 the bill, and moved its in Jeff
mite postPonement. Judge Marshall said
that il was the wish Of the people that such
bill should pass, and that he hoped the
Senate would obey this wish. The ques.
lion being taken on the motion to posipon,
was decided in The negative.
A bill authorizing The Grand Gulf
Rail Road and Banking Company to
close lis afl,irs as bank, was read the
third time, and passed. This bill extends
to said Company the right 10 purchase &
dispose of real and personal estate without
Limitation, and is very similar TO a bill for
the benefi; Of the same company, which
has been before the House; except that the
House bill proposed giving said Company
the rig ht TO discount.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Green, do
mating TO the Commercial and Rail Road
Bank Of Vcksburg, sufficient quantity
of land TO establish depot at tho city Of
Jackson, passed its third reading and was
adopted,

Sour domestic exchanges are in n most depora-
BILE condition. "-.Ner- Yorker.
We knew that it had been the custom of certain
federal journals to exclam about the "deplorable
condition ofour domestic exchanges" but that was
during the reign of that Great Deranger of every
thing, the Undertook cabbage peddler." But
he is not mortuus est, he is dead, Presdcntially
speaking, and how any one can speak of derange-
ment in the days of Old Tip, the great Scaudina-
Wan, Asiatic, Helvctian Restorer, is a wonder
and marvel unto us, and shocks, beyond measure,
our ideas of the reverence that is due to the "Ro-
man Consul" The possibility Of aaythaog "beng
in deporable condition." even the digestive
organs of the human species, while him of the
cook skin and cider tap, shakes his ambrosial locks
in the Chair of State, passeth our comprehension.
What can it mean what can it mean!
