With all these undenable facts and docu-

thought the honesty Of an individual, who,
in private transaction, should set Up a claim
for the payment asecond time of sum Of mo-
ney, under circumstances precisely similar 70

honorable in State We can scarcely be-
lieve that there viii be a difference Of opinion
on this subject; for the dishonesty Of the posi-
ton recommended by Governor Tucker to the
State Of Mississippi is too gross to be sustained
either in morals or politics. None but one,
whose perceptions Of right and wrong had be.
come radically impaired BY the demoralzing in
Aaence Of the doctrine Of Reputation, would
have had the unblushing hardlhood to have pro-
claimed such a sentiment from the most eleva-
ted ststion in the State Of Mississippi.
And can the people Of mississippi be 50 lost

Col. Richard S. Graves
Dean SIR l reached this place
yesterday having been on the road
from jackson nearly TWO weeks, hav-
ing had an attack oflever on the road,
besides Mrs. Tucker was taken sick
on the road, and has not reached here
yet.
Just on the eve Of my departure
Col. Fall applied to me to know
whether | was ofthe opinion that the
FIVE per cent Of the nett proceeds Of
the public laud lying in the STATE, aud
accruiDg TO this Stale, could be applied
to the ordinary liabilities Of the State.
/ have examined the subject so far as
my bad health would justify, and
think, 10 say the least Of it, that it is
doubtful whether it could be done OF
not. | think the design Of the act was
to limit the fund to objects Of internal
improvement, and that only it has mol
however, heretofore been the custom
to keep the fund separate from other
funds Of the State il appears to me
that it would be at least a breach o.
the trust and obligation that the State
is under, in application of the fund
The question however, is one which
does not directly fall under my con.
troll; it Is amatter almos: exclusively fol
your action and control, and know
you are fully competent to judge fol
yourself; you will find the law at page
al, Section S, Howard and HutchiiI-
sons revisal.
IwOuld say to you, however, that j
you can apply the money, mean tn,
fund referred TO, TO other purposes
than those contemplated by the law o
the United States above referred to
that you may apply it to any other pur'
pose whatever, and 70 is my opinion
that the claim OF Col. Fall IS as deserV
ing as any other, and perhaps Is one
that would be as useful to the STATE a,
any other.
