Governor ScOtt's Letter in Reference to
the State Debt.

CHARLESTON, August S.-Comptrol-
ler-General Nagle publishes a letter to
Governor Scott, setting forth the fact
that the Legislature, at its last session,
ordered to be levied and collected tax
sufficient to pay the interest on the en-
tire public debt. Noaetion having been
taken in this matter, the Comptroller
demands that the Governor require the
State Auditor to assess and collect said
tax forthwith. The State authorities,
the amount of over a million by the fif-
teenth of September.
In letter to Henry Clews Il Co., of
New York, dated August 9Th, Governor
Scott says the interest on the State debt
was not paid because of the excessive
legislative expenses, which absorbed all
the money in the treasury, and that un-
less a special tax be levied and collected
Immediately, as urged, no interest can
be paid before January next, when the
regular tax, now being levied, will be
received. The Governor cOncurs in the
justice of complaints made against the
fee for the registration of State bonds as
charged by the Commercial Warehouse
Company, but says that the objects
of registratiOni to satisfy bond
holders that there are no fraudu-
lent bonds and that the debt is truly
less than sixteen million dollars. Gov
ernOr Scott declares that all money re-
ceived FROM hypothecation and sale of
bonds, excepting seven hundred thou
sand dollars, has been used in meeting
liabilities occurring before the year 1869,
and he claims that this is the most
economically managed government in
the nation. In conclusion he says in
the future tax will be levied to pay the
interest on the debt, and money so col
lected will be applied to that purpose

against the city for the destruction of

THE REVOLUTION.
The AttOrney-General Of the Twelfth
District Of Mississippi Declines
to Support Grant.
An ElectOr for the State at Large De-
elines to Serve on the Grant Ticket.

SARDIs, Miss, July Is, 1872.
To Hon. A. Warner, Chairman of the Repub-
ncan Executive Committee of Mississippi
1 hereby decline to accept, or, if my
silence has been considered an accept
ance, hereby resign the electorship OF
Mississippi, conferred upon me by the
recent State Convention. In expIana-
ton of this action, deem it sufficient to
state that upon careful examination of
the Philadelphia platform 1 have been
disappointed. The Republican motto of
Mississippi since A. ID. 1869 has been
"Universal amnesty = universal suf-
frage." / have faithfully indOrsed that
motto from its Inauguration, and now
cannot become satisfied to cast the vote
of this State in support of platform
that does not fully and unequivocaly
advocate the same.
The colored people of America are free.
l ask that every white citizen also shall
enjoy freedom; only this and nothing
more. Whilst the fifteenth section OF
the Philadelphia platform heartily ap-
proves the action of Congress in extend
ing amnesty to those lately in rebellion, +"
it only bows to the dictiOn of an uncon-
trollable law, without asserting any
principles or future policy for the Repub-
iican party of the nation. This meager
doctrine does not correspond with the
professions of Mississippi Republicans;
nor can they, with decency, subscribe it
whilst listening to thevoice of their own
platforms of the years 1859 and 1871. No
doubt Mr.. Grant will carry this State;
but as for myself, prefer, if needs be,
political obscurity to the promulgation
Of principles that cannot conscien-
tiously indorse. l am, with much re
spect, MARK c. BRADY.
