The Sen time n tai Cant About Wis
sissiPPi Reputation.
Port Gibson RepieLke.

Since the reputation of the unauthorized
bonds, referred to in THE CLARION's arti-
Gle, the State of Mississippi has never put
her bonds on the market, nor has she in any
way tested her credit, to ascertain its
strength. From the day of reputation to
this good hour, the merchants of this State
have enjoyed in the Northern and Eastern
cities, the highest character for sOlvency,
integrity and promptness. For years, i'm
mediately succeeding reputation, we were
in the Eastern cities purchasing goods. and
there we met the Liddells, the Carradines,
and hosts of merchants from all parts of the
State, and they were constantly button
holed and i'm portuned by mercantile drum
mers, offering goods, for any amount on
twelve months credit. 1t has been so from
that day to this. We believe it TO be true,
that the merchants of Mississippi are in
higher credit, in all the commercial cities Of
the Union, than those of any other State.
The State, as we have said, has made no
effort to borrow money, and If her mer-
chants enjoy such credit-if reputation has
not damaged commercial credit-and the
credit ofthe State has not been tested, how
are we to know "that the credit of the State
remains i'm mai red -

Scheme of a Railroad on the Bad
Parallel.
sspondent Montgomery (Ata.,) Sun

Correspondent Montgomery (AIa.) Sun.
One of the earliest advocates OF a Pacific
railroad on the thirtysecond parallel was
Jefferson Davis, who, as Secretary of War.
ordered the frst Government exploration
of this route, and in transmitting the engi
neers' ana explorers reports to Congress,
pointed out in AN able communication its
superior advantages aud the necessity of
connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific
States by a trans-continental railway. As
a member of Mr.. Pierce'S Cabinet, he sue
ceeded in procuring the negotiation of a
new treaty with Mexico, by which she ced
ed to the United States strip of territory
known as the Gadseu Purchase, for the ex
press purpose of securing a better route for
a Southern railway to the Pacific. This
route is the one that has been adopted for
the Texas and Pacific Railroad From that
day TO this Mr.. Davis continued an earnest
advocate of this great national work, and
was a delegate to the st. Louis Railroad
Convention in 1875, and advocated Govern
ment aid substantially as is proposed in the
bills that have been lately introduced into
Congress by Messrs. Stephens, of Georgia,
and Lamar of Mississippi.

men. Butler ON the Right Path.
HE SAYS NO SILVER MONEY NO APPRoPRIA-
TIONS.

HE SAYS NO SILVER MONE1 NJ AfEhOEhAA-
TIONS.
From Speech Before Resumption Caucus.
Mr. Butler said it was reported that the
President will veto the silver bill. | do not
know what authority there is for such a
statement, but it is safe to assume from his
surroundings that he will veto such a bill
as will be passed by Congress. l say that
it appears from the information in my pos
session that we may expect him to veto any
bill expressing the views of the majority OF
the me M bers of both houses. What then is
to be done? A two thirds vote cannot al
ways be relied upon, even in the midst of
popular demand and great national neces-
sity. What, then, remains to be done? II
the President of the United States should
deem it his duty in exercising the veto
power to prevent the enactment of a law
undoubtedly demanded by large majority
of the people of the country. it would be the
duty of the representatives, of the people to
resort to the power reposed in them, and
how can this be most clearly and iOrcibly
done? Plainly by refusing to vote one
dollar of supplies to the government, or,
rather, making the appropriations for car
rying on the government conditioned on
the passage of the silver bill or such
measures as are demanded by the people
In that crisis | shall favor lacking on to
every appropriation bill the vetoed measure
and stand bv the Withholding of money UNI
til it becomes a law.
