ent presents an unpleasant picture of the po-
itical and social state of affairs in that State.
The legislature, which met on lats Monday,
has some difficult work before 1t, the worst OF
which, probably, is the restoration of the
States finances, which are in shocking con-
dtion
The debt of the commonwealth is large. but
though many Of the people favor a second re-
sort to the expedient of reputation, it is
thought that Mississippi has had enough of
this, and viii not again try it, except so far as
regards that portion of her Indebtedness con
tracted to assist the rebellion. all of which it
believed will be ignored
Another knoay question with which the
members will have to deal, is that in relation
to admitting negro testimony in the courts.
A majority of them are said to be in favor of
this concession, as indicated by their election
of Governor Sharkey, who insists on it to the
position of United State Senator, and by their
choosing for State printer gentleman who
also favors it. These are only two of the
many difficulties with which this legislature
will have to contend with, as industry, gen
orally, throughout the State, has been para
lized BY the war, and there is q great lack Of
the native energy necessary to resussitate it.
Some practical but cruel jokers have hoaxed
the Miss. negroes with story that on next
Christmas day, the Government intends ia
give each of them tract of land, ana hence
many of them refuse to enter into contracts
with the planters for period extending be-
yond that time
