Mississippi has capped the climax of
the ridiculous by bill which he SUI.
mitted to congress day or two ago.
II provides that the government shall
appropriate two hundred millions for
the settlement of TIE pnblc lands and
the education of the people out of this
fund. Any landless citizen who de-
sires to settle on the public lands is
to be furnished free transportation
thereto and the following articles :
Fifty dollars worth of building mate
rial, one plow, one pick AK, one
shovel ane AK, one hatchct, one
hundred pounds of assorted cut nails,
four hundred pounds of -four, fifty
pounds of bacon, ten pounds Of coffee,
one hundred pounds of corn meal
same of salt, fifteen bushels of seed
potatoes, one dollars worth OF assorted
garden seed The fund for this APP
preparation, which is intended for the
'colored people of the south, is to be
derived from an equitable assessment
of the people of the Cnieed States,
but after a period Of five years the
land owners are to commece to pay
back ten per centum year on the
amount thus loaned. They are pro-
hibitsd from using intoxicating
liquors while occupying these lands. -
