Mr.. FITZGERALD made the following ex-
,lanation of his vote on the silver resolu-
lion of yesterday:
Mr.. PREsIDENT-En explanation of nv
vote on the resolution requesting the mem
| hers of the Lower House and instructing
tbp Senators of Mississippi in Congress on
the subject, and the repeal of the remoneti-
y,ton OF silver and the repeal of the re-
ambition act, | have to say. that from
me reflection | have been able to give
those subjects, am inclined to the opinion
that the adoption by Congress of measures
d that end, would advance the material
interests Of the whole country; but am In
\ Ionbt that the measures now pending in
Congress touching those matters will &C
compish the desired result, and am decid-
slly of the opinion, for several reasons, that
The legislature should take no action at all
m the subject. Prominent among those
rpasons are these: Our members of Con-
/ yress have better facilities for determining
What should be done on those matters which
| nprtain especially to their office as Nation
y l.
heart the we'll being of their constituents
and the country at large as we have, and
n the manifestation Of anxiety on our part in
4 favor OF the measure, is much more apt to
II retard them than to promote favorable ac-
ton to us by the maj ority of the National
II Senate.
