We understand there Is oaiy one
Act making appropriations of which
no part has been expended" to which
this can refer; be this 50, or not. tie
blow is aimed at, and strikes, the Act
passed by tic late legislature, one year
ago, (approyed April 18Th a%ppropri.
ating the sum of $4,000 to the i'm
proyement of P~ascagoula harbor.
That Act contained the provision that
the citizens Of jackson county should
first subscribe and pay in, for the
purpose, the sun OF $4,000 and
this has cen done, and the money ex.
pended in the purchase of the Moves
canal Ia private canal at the mouth of
The river IN THE NAME OF THE STATE.
This was done by the citizens of Tas-
,agoula, who naturally and fully OK.
'ected the State to fulfill her part of
he compact, and to furnish the money
necessary to deepen and enlarge this
anal. Furthermore, the U. S. Engi- ,
Ieer, who surveyed, last summer, onr
Iarbor, recommended that the Gen
raj Government make a further ap.
reputation of $4,000 for this same ,
urpose, conditioned upon our citi.
ems and the State making the above .
preparations and the State securing =
he title to the Noyes canal; and it
as hoped that this Congressional =
preparation would be secured even :,
lis session. The action taken by the :,
late a year ago in this matter was .
} PARTY measure; the bill was sup.
'rted Ivy both parties, mainly by the j
epublicans; it was a popular meas. r,
e IN the legislature and was univer- 7
lily approved of by the press of the h.
ate, irrespective of party. 1t was
lied with pleasure throughout the G
ate as a step towards providing A

+ future prosperity demanded-a m

on the legislature tse importance in
developing our s~eacoast. 1t was
out to become the basis of an an G.
'priation by the General Govern. mi

crested in our harbor, and of n
1t would have had the Charge tn
