and among other important matters they are

cfnpa,atically against banks Of all kinds, and
they take .ac position that banks nrc rcpne.

ton, and such change will require some
three years delay. unless convention DO

pOrtant constitutional amendments wanted.
we incline to the opinion, that the coming
Legislature will take measures for calling .
convention At an carly period. Meantime the
proposed amendments involving great prin-
ciplcs Of State policy, should bc fully and inn
partially discussed, that wien We do net upon

MEssRs McCLuNo AND SsNaLeroS.--Thc fol-
lowing statement, relative to q difficulty be-
tween these gentlemen, who are candidates for
Congress IN Mississippi, is signed by ten gen
tlcincn, who were present:
Singleton Ind made the opening speech
McClung followed, and in the course of his
remarks, stated that Singleton had denied To
Congress the constitutional power to build n
railroad, rs a military work, from the Missis.
sppi to the Pacific ocean. At that time, Nc.
Chung was in the pulpit Of the church, which
was elevated above tho floor, and Singleton
sitting ON bench Immediately ut the foot Of
the steps, which led up into the pulpit When
McClung made the declaration above stated,
Singleton replied that he said no such thing.
McClung then, in an excited tone, reiterated
that Singleton had said SO, and that he should
not contradict him. Singleton replied that he
was not to be inundated by threats; and il
he would hold on and not got angry he would
explain his position. McCung then asserted
with emphasis that Singleton had said what
he charged, and that IL Singleton contradctcl
him again, he would silence him IN n way that
he would not repeat 1t. Singleton had risen
from his seat to explain, aud when McClung
made this last icnark, Singleton replied that

striking him on tho arm or side next to him.
Singleton sprang at him, grasped him by the
coat collar or shirt bosom with the leil hand,
and ut the same time made several blows ut
him with the right, which, from the elevation
OF McCung took very slight effect, il any
a monentary sculllc ensued, and tho crowd
rushed IN aud forced them apart---no ecrious
damage having occurred to either party.
SO soon as they were separated, McClung
drew "a knife from his pocket aud opened it,
Singleton then said 10 him. lay down your
knife, rs have no arms whatever, and walk
out Of doors. aud we will settle this thine r;.hl
away. McClnng with his knife drawn, made
an effort to get to Singleton, but was proven
tod by tho crowd when he used some Insult
ing language TO Singleton, saying God damn
you, will get you yet
I'm few minutes, the excitement was so
Tar allayed that McCmng proceeded with his
remarks. Singleton took his seat near tho
stand, and after McClung had lnisod rcioine,l
IN half an hours speech, in answer to which
MoClmng spoke iiltcen minutes So the allair
