GENT1EMGN-I have the great pleas
nre Of acknowledging the receipt OF
your letter of the 18th of February.
From the time when,i in the discharge of
what I considered al imperitive duty,
I voted against the silver bill, until the
adjournment of the Legislature of Mis-
sissippl, I have steadily forbore any
correspondence with its members. /
found myself unable to agree with a
majority of them upon a very grave
question Of public policy, and. having
done what | considered my duty, / felt
that it was only proper that | should
leave them to discharge theirs without
explanation or suggestion from me. 1t
is for them to decide what estimate they
should place on my action, free from
any personal depreciation on ny part.
As the Legislature has now adjourn
ed without any expression of opinion up
on the vote which [ cast feel myself at
liberty 10 return my thanks to those
who have recognized as you have done,
the spirit III which l acted.
] do not know what your individual
opinions are, as to to the merits of the
bill itself, and I feel, therefore, only
the more grateful for an approval of the
independence of judgement which J.
thought it my duty to exercise.
This confidence III my character and
approval of my construction of my Sen
,atorial duty are infinitely more valuable
to me than any popularity which n vote
cast either way on any particular meas
ure might achieve. They are worth
more, far more, than the personal bon
or they do me. They will serve IS an
encouragement to others. who, repres
enting you hereafter. may feel them
selves burdened with similar response
bilities, and they illustrate the intelli-
gence, the fidelity, the generosity OF
the State, of whom it will be, as it ever
has been, my highest ambition is to be
q trusted representative
am. gentlemen, very truly and sin
corely yours. L. @. G. LAMAR.

That Railroad ssiaI-

The East Mississippi papers have,
for several weeks, been filled with abuse
of Gov. Stone because he failed TO sign
the bill regulating Railroad freights Oh
cotton. We are informed .Chat Gov.
Stone was opposed to the bill, and
would have returned it with bis objec-
tons before the adJournmetlJ OF the
Legislature if there had been q quorum
Of members present. His reasons, as
we have heard them, for opposing the
bill were good. The billonly regulated
the tariff on cotton, and the Governor
believed if the Railroad wns restricted
in its charges on Il article it would in
crease the freight on others to make up
the amount lost, as it would have done.
The people should rather feel Indignant
at their representatives for not forming
a correct ard proper relief bill than at
the Governor for failing to approve the
bungling thing passed.

the Steuben County Poor House, which
burned on Saturday night, nearly all

building wal filed with binding smoke.
An inmate who had Ford in charge
opened Ford's door, and the flames
burst out and ran along the particians
and up the stove pipe hole into the
second story.
Ford had forced his head between
the bars of the window and was unable
TO pull back. The upper story was oc-
cupied by twenty-five women aud chill

a majority of whom were idiotic, Grip
