S6- When in 1887 reputation was
first preached in Mississippi the impulse
of almost every honorable mind was adj
verse to it. We had got the five millions,
and spent it among our own people-we
had the benefit of it. True, there might
be some informalities and illegalities,
but still it was enough, said the great
msjority, that we had used other mems
money, and we ought to pay it back to
them. But the reckless, talented and
influential Hogan took reputation up
with the powerful press, next Governor
McNutt gave in his adherence Though
we believe disputing the paternity,
others followed with subtle and inge-
Nous arguments, soon it became the
hobby Of the Democrat C party, then in
the ascendant in the State, and the final
result was its complete triumph and,

In the Northern States at this mo-
ment there are similar signs. The
cauldron is boiling and we shall see what
it will throw up. Arguments are begin
ming to be used, and in quarters, neither
few nor little influential, in favor Of re-
pudiating the national debt We don't
see Just now how TO say we do not owe IT,
or what reaoon to give why we should
not pay. But as times advance we may
get light. The New York Herald is
much exercised about it, and AYERS that
there is no alternative but to pay or re-
pudiate. Certainly not That is the
very way to do it-pay or don't pay,
though you may adopt the Mississippi
rule, promise fair if you never pay.
The argument begins now in favor Of
paying in greenbacks, which, if good
enough for our people, ought to be so
for foreign claimants, and which, the
Herald says. is fascinating the thought
less, and many who have no clearly de-
fined ideas Of that which is demanded by
national honor, are considering whether q
greenback payment Of the national debt
may not be a reasonable compromise
between open reputation and the hard
work of paying the debt honestly" Some

B6T- Our correspondent " Free Think
er /. welcome to say VIA: be thinks
Auli altsram parton. If the effect of
the action of the Democratic party
North is, like that of the Republican, to
destroy liberty, it seems necessity for
which they should not be blamed, since
the action of that party is professedly
and actively in support Of constitutional
principles against Radicalism. We may
agree that the body of the North does
not hate the South, though we are not
certainly advised as TO that matter. And
we may agree thatit does not fear the
South, though we think a people who
have shown the courage, endurance and
power of the South, it would be prudent
neither to despise nor to Cypress beyond
endurance. If sour deprivation Of
rights is essential TO the defeat Of the
Democratic party" it would seem to be
because that party maintains our rights,
and If we are to act at all, and 10 nave
any influence on our own future, We see
not why the object should not be accom-
plished by acting with such as choose to
be our friends Going back to old pro-
clivities we should elect Wings if we
could, perchance. When we were SOW
ereigns we boosted "this is free coun-
try" and we did as we pleased. But
now, before we can commit ourselves to
the support of General Grant, or any
one else, we should like to be assured
that our interests and liberties will be
promoted by it, and that active cooper
alton on our part will avail something

clearly that the nomination of Grant

suffer, or against any future danger.

s6y- The Herald, and other Northern
papers of that ilk, are deplering the ex-
ecution Of wirz, because, forsooth, IF
facts now in possession Of the Govern
meut had then been divulged, his SEN
teuce would have been commuted and
those hanged whom he obeyed. Wirz,
for some months, was in charge of polit-
ical and other prisoners at Tuscaloosa.
The acts Of Wirz may have been repre-
hensible to the last degree. Whether
this be true or false, Mr. Davis had no
means of determining. he relied, in
this matter, upon Gen. Winder. There
was never IN appeal made in vain to
Mr.. Davis clemency. For his liberal
exercise of the pardoning power he was
often censured. There may have been
merciless men about Mr.. Davis person,
but his bitterest enemies, and ho had
not few in the Confederacy, never
questioned his generosity to Southern
and Northern foemen. We wot of men
who we're almost starved to death OUT

A committee has been appointed by
Congress to investigate charges preferred
against the South touching this matter
Of cruelty to prisoners of war. We con-
graduate our countrymen. So persist
emily has it been alleged that Southern
ers we're cruel to prisoners that the world
begins to give credence to the falsehood.
Let Gen. Pillow be summoned before
this Congressional Committee. He can
tell story of hardships endured by our
own soldiers, while he sought to provide
for the wants of prisoners of war, which
will silence forever the voice of calumny.
Pillow is brave, trathful and generous.
If the Confederacy was starved out" it
must have been short of provisions for
prisoners, when it had not enough for
its own soldiers and people.
