The states Ability to Pay il.

The Radicals of Mississippi, like those
of other Southern States, created bond
ed debt. Fortunately it is comparatively
small. 1t would have been as large as
that of South Carolina or Louisiana but
for the fact that Mississippi had no credit
abroad. There was never any necessity
for a debt. The taxes collected under
Radical rule were at all times largely in ex-
cess of what would have been the cost of
the State government, il it had been prop
erly administered. Every cent which
could be wrung from the oyerburthened
taxpayers was expended, and to the ex-
tent tn It credit could be had, debt was
imposed on the people to fill the pockets
Of the Radical ring The debt the Dem
ocratic administration has inherited. 1t
must be paid. Its bonds outstanding
July 1st, 1877, were:

Bonds outstanding s138, 10000, the in
terest on which (due January 1st and
July LIST, 1879 will be SO, 052.00.
When this interest is paid, less the
amount July LIST, 1878, on the bonds due
January 1st, 1879, there will still be
sufficient amount to redeem the last
named bonds (series "C") thus saving
theinterest for one year. In which event
the bond tax can be reduced from two to
at least one-half, if not one fourth, of a
mill on the next year. The taxes for
general purposes need not be more than
q mills This reduction will be
due to the able, patriotic and honest
Legislature elected in 1873. If the
Democrats and Conservatives desire to
see the grand work of retrenchment and
reform 60 forward as it has commenced
they will stand solidly together. They
will discountenance any efforts to break |
the ranks. And they will see to it that
any candidates who seeks Office by the |
votes of the Radical party, whether he
calls himself Independent or not, shall
be defeated at the polls.

THERE is one point of agreement, if
no other, between the South and North
west, and that is the improvement of
the navigation of the Mississippi river
from its source to its mouth. The st.
Paul Chamber Of Commerce has Issued
a call for Convention OF representative
men of the Mississippi Valley, including
editors Of newspapers, to meet in that
city, October 18th, for the consideration
of the question. The following is the
concluding resolution of the series adopted
by the Chamber:
Resolved, That these wrongs must be
righted and can speedily be righted If the
Representatives in Congress of the MiSsls-
sippi Valley from New Orleans 10 st. Paul
will stand shoulder to shoulder and work
and vote as one man for this purpose; con-
senting to no other i'm prOvement AMI Vot-
ing no other until this improvement is rec
ognzed and provided for; and in order to
bring about this unity of purpose and con-
cert OF action we respectfully request the
editors and representative men OF the
Mississippi Valley, from the CUT 10
St. Paul, to meet in Convention at st. Paul,
on Thursday, the llth day Of October next.
TO devise and carry out such united action
as will emphasize our demands upol the
ensuing session of Congress and secure the
Just recognition of the rights of the MssiS
sippi Valley from St. Paul to New Orleans
Among other rights of the Mississippi
Valley" we would suggest general
levee system for the reclamation of waste
lands and the protection of those subject
to inundation. Seeing there is a COM
munity of interest, will not the upper and
lower Mississippi Representatives in Con-
gress unite in voting appropriations for
both these objects?
