for its great merit, worth and value.
Your fine and unanswerable articles in
defense of Gov. Stone, against ''hue and
cry from many good and high sources, to
lay lawloss hand upon the State Treasury,
or to call Al extra Sc ssion Of the Legisla-
ture during the late yellow fever scourge,
are highly endorsed by me. The Governor
has, in my opinion, acted not only well
but nobly, in all this matter, and will long
be remembered with pride, pleasure and
approval, by the great body of the calm,
considerate and rejecting people of Missis-
slppi, and should not be despised by any
one. With the great clamor and demand
that he should open the door of the State
Treasury, which he could not legally do, or
call an extra session of the Legislature to
do 1t, when there was no necessity to do so,
and when all aids to an excess cere .ti0aott(g

him every honor and gratitude i'll his firm
and glorious stand Oh this subject. He has
stood US firm as a rock or "stone in all
these matters, against every assault and in~
portunity to do a wrong or commit an error.
