to the effect that after diligent search he

Nothing, it is said, but the timely re
ceipt of the telegram from President
johnson, saying that North Carolina
should at once and forever repudiate
every dollar Of the Indebtedness con
sracted to assist the rebellion, prevented
the staving Oft by the secession members
of q yote on the ordinance completely
ignoring that debt, as they had their
plans very adrOitly laid for the purpose.
But on the reading of the Presidents
dispatch the ordinance was immediate
" taken up and passed amid cheering and
great enthusiasm. there being but few
negative votes The amendment to sub
nit to the people was not adopted.

plomatic correspondence between Mr.
Adams, the American Minister, and Earl
Russell is published in the London Ga
zette of the lth instant.
The correspondence begins with'a let
ter from Minister Adams, dated the 9Th
of April last, in which he calls the al
tention of Earl Russell to the official re
ports respecting the ravages of the She
nandoah aud announces that the damage
caused by such cruisers his government
cannot avoid entailing the responsibility
upon Great Britain The reply of Earl
Russell is dated May 4th. He says the
duties of Great Britain toward the Uni.
ted States are not measured by the losses
which the commerce of the latter may
have sustained The question is simply
whether the Queens government have
faithfully and honestly performed the
duties which international laws and their
own municipal laws imposed upon them.
The reply of Mr.. Adams is dated May
9th He says that the insurgents be-
came belligerants on the ocean solely by
reason of the facilities furnished in her
Majesty's ports for them to do so. He
complains of the secret sympathy of her
Majesty's officers in the port of Liver.

Political and social Condition Of Wis j.
.issippi-NeSro Testimony in she


New YORK, Oct 23-The Herald's
Jackson, Miss. correspondent presents
an unpleasant picture of the political
aud social state OF affairs IN that State
The legislature, which met on last Mon
day, has some difficult work before it..
the worst OF which probably is the recon
structiOu OF the State finances, which are
in a shocking condition. The debt of
the commonwealth is large but though
many OF the people favor second resort
10 the expedieut Of repudiatiou, it IS
thought that Mississippi has lad enough
of this and will not again try, except so
TAR as regards that portion Of her indebt-
edness contracted by the rebellion, all OF
which it is believed will be ignored.
Another knotty question with which
the members will have TO deal is that IA
relation to admitting negro testimony IN
the courts. 4 majority of them are said
TO be in favor OF this concession, as indi-
Gated BY their election OF Gov. Sharkey,
who insists on it, to the position of Z ).
Senator, and by their choosing for State
printer gentleman who also favors 1t.
These are only two of the many difficult
ties with which this legislature will
have to wrestle, as industry generally
throughout the State has been paralyzed
by the war, and there is a great lack OF
the native energy necessary to resusci-
tate it. Some practical but cruel jokers
have headed the Mississippi negroes with
a story that on next Christmas Gay the
Government intends TO give each OF them
tract of land Many of them refuse to
enter into contracts with the planters fol
"a period extending beyond that time.
