/
Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, was in the
city Yesterday en- route from his home to

viewed him on a few OF the questions of the
hour, first asking him how ne regarded the
policy OF President Hayes, and, more
especially, his reported conversion to the

tions ascribed to the President, from which
an inference has been drawn of the kind to
which you ailude, | doubt if he has gone
any further than to express disappointment
and disapprobation OF certain exaggerated
reports Of proceedings in two Southern
States, which have been reported to him by
Republican officials and defeated aspirants

Gated any purpose to change his policy

The effect of county and town repGdia-
ton upon the prosperity OF the regulators,
is strikinglv illustrated by Il correspondent
of the New York Evening Post, writin Z
from Missouri. Excluding st Louis, there
are % millions OF county, city and town
ship debts. and interest j. paid on less than
one-tifth of this sum. The debts were con-
tracted chiefly in aid OF railroads which
have been built, TO the great benefit of cOun-
ties through which they pass. After the
money had been borrowed, the county and
municipal corporations pretended to dis
cover that the loans were illegal and
though both the State and United States
courts held them 10 b. valid, no effort was
made 20 pay interest upon them. The peo-
pie sim ply set at work TO secure jud res
more favorable to their scheme of repudia-
ton. This they have done, and now it is
not uncoum0n for justices Of interior
State courts TO override the decisions OF the
Supreme Court OF the United States. This
writer instances one county which has over
forty miles of railroad that were built
wholly with foreign capital, that has added
millions of dollars 20 the taxable property
of the county. and that pays heavy tax to
the county aud State. which refuses 10 pay

The charge of repudiating a debt
which has been contracted by the people
of Mississippi in accordance with the only
method by which obligations in their
name could be made binding, viz: that
prescribed in their organic law, though
often made, has never been truthfully
charged. IF the foregoing statements
are correct, some of her neighbors can
not say as much.

their liking, they sent them in every
