Rehabilitation OF tue State OF Mlssis-
sippi-- Return OF our Delegation
from Washington.
Our distinguished Governor, VIM. L
Sharkey, accompanied by the other
members Of the Mississippi delegation
to Washington, Judge VIM Yerger and
Hon. Jones S. Hamilton, arrived here
early Sunday morning, on the steamer
Mollia Able
The Governor was in excellent health,
as were the other gentlemen Of the
delegation, and during the day received
the congratulations Of our people on
the suspicious results of their mission.
II WASHINGTON.
We learn that the delegation were
received simply as gentlemen from Mis-
sissippi, acquainted with the wants and
desires Of the people In fact no refer
ence wss made to any State commission
or appointment as they well knew the
views of the President precluded their
reception in such capacity. They we're
received cordially, however, and the
President expressed bis qualification
that Mississippi should be thus early
wheeling into line The President very
freely and fully expressed his views on
the reorganization Of the Southern
States, which are substantially contain
ed in his Amnesty Proclamation and
the proclamation appointing Governor
Sharkey He IS anxious TO see the
country once more in the enjoyment
Of that peace and neutrality-suspicious.
which no people can prosper. He holds
the doctrine that the people Of 9 State
have the right 10 regulate their own
affairs in their own wsy-that the peo-
pie who are TO live under State gov
eminent ought to have the right to reg
ulate their domestic affairs without for
eign interference
The name of Judge SharlIey had
been eanvsssed for the Office of Provis
ional Governor before the arrival ofour
commission in Washington. On his ar
rival, the position was rendered him BY
the President After taking the sub
ject under adyisement Judge Sharkey
accepted the post but not until ne had
fully defined his line Of policy and re-
ceiyed the appreciation of the Presi
dent
The following is the letter Of the Sec
rotary of State TO Judge Shsrkey, ap-
pointing him Governor Of the State;
