The Mississippi LsgisIature-The
silver Question.

1t is to be hoped that our State Senate
will no longer delay an expression OF
the sentiment of the people of Mlssls-
sissippi in favor of the recoinage.of silver,
and its restoration to its status from the
foundation of the Government until 1873,
as legal tender for all debts, public
and private. The House, by unanl-
nous vote, passed resolutions to this
effect, and we have understood that the
resolutions hang fire in the Senate upon
mere question of verbiage. Some are
i'm favor of Construction" of ere
questing others of simple, point
ed declaration of the wish Of Mississippi
upon the question. In point of fact, the
form Of expression, so it is clear, IS I'M
material. What is wanted is declara-
ton from the representatives OF the
people of Mississippi in favor of restor-
ing one of the precious metals to Its
former status as legal tender, and
in condemnation of the stupendous
fraud of 1873, by which a great
crime was committed in the interest OF
the bondholding class AGAINST tho ahe-
..nu the industry of the country. Upon
this important question our State cannot
afford to occupy an uncertain position
The form of expression is subordinate
consideration. so that it is emphatic and
clear as to the sentiment of the people. Ii
they have not the right to make known
their will and to have it respected, upon
questions of public policy, they are not the
rulers of the country, and our represen-
tative government is failure and farce.

City Hospital of VicE6sbHrg.

We have observed that Mr.. Pegram,
of Warren, has introduced bill provid-
ing for an appropriation for this institu
ton, and that it has been referred to the
Committee on Benevolent Institutions.
An examination of the bill has induced
us to regard the measure as a meritori-
Gus one. The State before The war was
in the habit of contributing to the sup
port of the institution, in view of its be-
ing more than local charity. From
1866 to 1878, 10, 600 patients have been
treated in the hospital. Seven thousand
five hundred of the number were non
residents of Vicksburg, and of the 7 800
fifty per cent. came from other counties
in the State. These data show it to be a
State charity, and it is but just that the
State should aid Vicksburg in support
ing the hospital.

Boston, January 23.-In the House OF
Representatives, this afternoon, resolu-
ton was introduced approving the course
of the Massachusetts Senators in defending
the honor of the State against the attack OF
the Senator from Maine, in the National
Senate.
We have noticed that disparaging
allusion to Mississippiin connection with
the debt of the old Union Bank was re-
Gently made in the National House oil
Representatives, and the occasion would
have been appropriate for word in de-
Tense of the honor Of the State. Judg
ment by default in the court of public
opinion must not be permitted to be en-
tered against her upon false and cal
luminous charge.

Gen. Chas. E. Furlong, one of the
Senators from the historic and battle
Scared city of Vicksburg, who was re-
Gently honored by being made the Repre-
sentative of the Lee Monumental Asso-
citation, for the State of Mississippi, is,
we are glad to observe, bestirring himself
in the interest of that noble and patriotic
association. 1t was fitting and grace
full tribute from Southern association,
to oppoint Union soldier as It's repre-
sentative in Mississippi, and we feel
assured that Gen. Furlong will do credit
to the gentlemen who honored him with
their confidence 1t is the dearest wish
of every true Southern man and woman
to see an image of our great soldier and
patriot perpetuated in marble, and thus
handed down to the last syllable of re-
corded time, and we entertain no doubt
that all will contribute to so noble and
praiseworthy an object. But we did not
start out to preach a homily, but
| merely to commend the appointment by
Gen. Furlong, of our respected friend,
! Can't. Robt T. Henderson, the efficient
Sheriff of Lauderdale, as the representa-
tive of the Lee Monumental Association
in his county. We take pleasure in in
dorsing him as the right man in the right
place; he is power in Lauderdale, is
brave, honest, and intelligent, and, hav-
ing made a liberal contribution, he is
just the man to make splendid record,
and write Lauderdale down as the ban
ner county in a noble and patriotic work.
THE bill to encourage fruit growers and
manufacturers, introduced by Mr.. Henry,
of Rankin, provides that manufacturers
of spirituous liquors, from fruits, may
sell the same free from State tax OF
license. IF it becomes a law, those
counties upon the lines of shipment, can
find market for all fruits at home, at q
time when money is very scarce, and also
keep money at home which is now spent
abroad for liquors.

Captain w. w. HumDsaries.

a convention of the 18th Senatorial
District has nominated this gentleman as
the Democratic candidate for Senator to
fill the unexpired term of Lieutenant
Governor Sims. We learn that the vote
in favor of HUMPHREYS was nearly unan-
imous. The election takes place on the
10Th. There is but one course to be pur-
sued by the people of the district. 1t is
to support the nominee and elect him.
There are two essentials to true Dem
ocrat. One is to support the nominee
and the other is to abide by the usages
of the party, without adhering to which
its organization will be powerless for
good. In the nomination of Captain
HUMPHREYS the party choice has fallen
upon man who has the tact, ability and
courage to defend the right at all hazards.
Whatever is due to his constituents will
be claimed by Captain HUMPHREYS, and
where he fails, others may well despair
We need not allude to his services to his
party in its darkest and most trvino
hour. 1t is to such men as Humph-
ries that Mississippi is indebted for her
redemption from misrule.

The silver bill will be passed. The West
