Those among the English people who
are still suffering from Mississippi repu-

and regret the negotiation Cf = lean for a

IN his place in Congress, is the head But

Davis was an influential member Of the
Federal government, and regarded with
high favor by all the Northern population
by whom the remarks of the TINS on his
financial views were then declared to be
nothing but the outpourings Of British
rancOr"
The State of Mississippi had obtained
the money in London on the SOLEMN
pledge of the faith Of the State. and loaned
1t TO the citizens but the State had bro,
ken Its pledge, repudiated the debt. and
Nr. JEFF Davis eulogizcd the procecdinrl
The courts Of the State decrced in lS12
that the debt was valid. and the decision
was reatIrmed in Sj3. JEFF Davis was
then Secretary Of War. and THROUGH his
efforts and influence the State continued
TO repudiatc the claims Of the British
bondhclders. In 1868 Nixsissippi was
indebted to EngIshmen not ONLY for tie
principal, - 100000, hut for twcntv-fye
years of unpaid interest; vet, notwitb-
standing this, the Times, eating its words

" Should it turn out that there
has been a mistake, the announcement
will be hailed with warm qualification
1t was necessary, for the success of thc
loan. TO show that tho South was sure Of
Obtaining It's independence AM while tho
editor of the cjtv article was WHtewgsE-
ing JeT Davis, the editor in chief was
assuring the public that the Union was
forever broken up.
Thus wrote Mr. Delainc, tho editor in
chief on the lGCh .-

On the 9th another leader was given to
American affairs. Said the editor:

And again, on the 25th
There was room enough for two states

SURPRISED at the course they have taken.
