Fhg sane &. IS. Eagisser upon
shoso Reports were based The very
liberal appropriations male Tor Gal-
weston aud B3y and for tie mouth Of
the Mississippi, recommended that an
appropriation of 100000 be made for
Mlsstssippi-for the Improvement Of
the month Of PascagouIa river and
Pascagoala barbor. II was tho duty
Of her every representative in Con
gress to sec that the appropriation
was made. Tie following are, ex-
tracts from Capt. lIowclis u 5. En-
gineers, Report aud IRON Gen.
Humphreys U. ), Engineers, report
to the Secretary Of War, endorsing
and forwarding Capt. HowelPs re-
port; and which reports were referred
to the Committee on Commerce on
January q, 1874.
From Captain Howelps Report,
IAN appropriation of $50 900 is re-
commented for this work, its expend'
iture being made contingent on the
State Of Mississippi securing from the
owners of Noyes canal a release OF all
claims the latter might have against
the United States, were the latter to
proceed with works Of improvement
without such release"
From Gen. Humphreys report endorsing
the above.
"As the state OF Mississippi has ap-
Dropriated $4,000 for this work, con-
ditioned on the citizens OF Pascagoula
adding $4,000, and advertisements for
contract having already been made,
the officer in charge Capt. Howell,
Ed. Starr suggests that should the
United States aid the work by an ap-
preparation, it sholld be upon condi-
ton that the state adopts the plan OF
Improvement decided upon by the
War department and obtained the
lease OF an exclusive charter which
has been granted to an individual
Mr.. NoyeS. Ed. Starr for making q
similar cut"
1t will be noticed, that both Capt
Howell and Gen. Humphreys base
their recommendations upon the State
securing the title to the Noyes Canal
This she has doue, or rather the citi'
zens of P~ascagoula have done it fol
her, they, purchasing the canal, will
money they raised, and having thu
title to it, made 10 the name of thu
State. And this is the only condi
ton which the Engineer officer
make in their recommendations. AnC
we respectfully call the attention o
our Congressman 10 the fact tina
this condition has been met aud com
piled with.
The state has nevertheless, acte'
with Punic faith towards the peopl
of Pascagoula. And having, by he
action induced the people of Pasca
goula to raise and spend $4,000 to
wards the improvement of Pascagoul
river, she had no right 10 go back
upon her plighted faith. The Gov
ernor recognizes this fact in the actiot
he has taken as President of tn
Board of Commissioners; and in hi
Message. We arc satisfied the legis
lature committed the act of Repea
and the Governor signed it, unknow
