Our Legislature is TO cOnN enc
soon, and asa means of giving eX~
precision to public sentiment, we
deem it fit and proper to make some
Suggestions as 30 what course that
body should take OH some measures
of public interest, among which the
Agricultural Lien Law is as prDmi
nent as any other. OuC views on
that subject were given some weeks
since, and some of which we now
repeat: AS the commercial and az
ricultur1l interests OF the country
have accommodated themselves to
the provisions of that law, its repeal
or any important change III its pro-
visions would be likely to introduce
confusion apd be productive Of new
trouble, We admit that the law is
a bad one, and'enght never to have
been enacted, but its rereal would
Effect a great revolution in business.
The great remsdy for the farmer Is
ito place himself in such condition
that he will not bc forced to avail
himself of any of It's provisions ;
but this can not be done at once
The patient must have time to res
cover. Then, loo Iing to the strin
gency of the times and the gloomy
prospects for 1878; our deliberate
conviction is, that If the law should
be repealed it should not take effect
ill one year afterits passage. "Bet-
ter to bear the ills we have than fly
to others that we know not of"
{ Another suljs ct that we think is
legislated on too muuli is the rev.
enue Law. We are aware that the
question Of how the taxes on real
estate are to he collected by force,
or sale, so as TO secure what is due
the State, and at the same time dc
Justice to the owner of the land, is
one that has been difficult TO solve.
But, without going into di cus>
Sion of the question here, we say
that the purchaser at tax sales OF
real estate ought either to get Il
good title or no title at all. Our
present revenue law was framed
with a view to invest the purchaser
with a good title when the owner is
i'll default in. paying the taxes due
on the land, and it seems to us that
this is just and right. Our Supreme
Court has recently delivered an inns
poriant opinion on this law, making
certain that about which there was
before some doubt. We think the
effect of this decision will be to
cause the owners OF land to pay
their taxes more promptly, and this
is the object of the law. Now, the
danger is that the Legislature will
make some changes inits provisions
hy which the whole subject will be
left in doubt again. We now under
stand what the law means, and if we
fail to conform to its provisions the
fault is with u.s.. Let it stand as
it is.

A Letter from Gov. Brown.

To the Voters of Copiah County:
1t appears by the published re-
turns, that thousand and eighty
one of you voted for me for G, V rn-
or at the last election. For this
unsolicited manifestation of your
6dence, and good will, l am du>
ny grateful. In tkis Kinds county,
twelve hundred and seventy Z
electors cast their votes for me for
the State Senate. just as my CoM-
all friends east their votes for me
for Governor, Knowing that / was
not candidate, and having no as
Surance from me that 1 would even
consent to serve ii elected. 1t may
surprise some of you, and yet it is
true, that what you designed as a
personal compliment has been made
pretext for renewal of that sort
of vulgar newspaper abuse of which
l have been made the victim, peri
sodically for the last ten years. You
know that yOn cast your votes for
me without mg knowledge, or cou-
sent. My Kinds county friends
with the exception of my immedi-
ate neighbors, know the same thing.
A few of them. informed me that
they intended TO vote for me. They
will, one, and all bear me witness
that my invariabIe reply was, in
substance, ''if you want to oblige
me, vote for somebody else" Now
find, by the newspaper account OF
it, that l was an Independent can-
didate and got badly beaten. I
was no. more a candidate for the
Senate in Kinds, than L was a can
ditiate in Oopiah, and those in this
county who represent me otherwise,
know that they speak falsely.

working their gardens, selling mittens
and stockings of their own knitting,
and the voluntary contributions OF
travellers and others. The missionaries
have sometimes taken their families to
this monastery to spend the hottest
part of the summer
Some of the monks are quite enlight-
ened and enquired with good deal OF
interest what was going on in the outer
world. They are not by any means
shut up to their mountain home, how
ever. Some months ago one of them
went down to Merigleri, where there
are some PrOtestants and native pas
tor, and falling in with them he began
to study the Bible. The light began to
find its way into his mind, if not his
heart, and he expressed his determine
tiOn to leave the monastery and become
Il Protestant. He has not yet done it,
however, and l do not know whether
he ever will. The monks make a great
deal of reading the Bible, but it is in
the ancient Slavic language, and few OF
them understand it.
During the disturbances last summer
several of the monasteries of Bulgaria
were destroyed by the Bashi-bouzauks,
and this one was seriously threatened
but the Turkish residents of Muglish
who had alike with the Christians, shared
the kind and charitable deeds of the
monks, interfered and the monastery
was saved. 1t was, however, searched
by the Turkish soldiers fol arms which
were believed to be secreted there.
