TIE STArE,s CREDET.

Howeyer much the credit Of Mississippi
NAV have suffered from her so-called repu-
diation in the past, we can safeiy say
that her credit is now completely re-
stored. Her bonds, to the amount Of
1876. 900 were authorized to be issued
by the Legislature, bearing interest
at tbe ratio of per cent, the interest
navable semi-annually. OF these bonds
Sl5o 600 were payable the LIST of Jan
nary 1879: S150,O0O ale due January l,
1880; S15O,OO0 January 1, 1881; $l25, 600,
January, 1882, and 100000, January l,
1888 The 1879 bonds are all paid and can
celed, except, perhaps, few thousands
which have not been presented to the State
T,eosurer. The balance have all been eager
" robbled up by our home capitalists, and
tbore ore no more bonds to be issued. There
remains outstanding against the State
$45O. 900 of the per cent, bonds, but
SEQ 600 of these will be paid and cancelled
next January, and so on every year. until
nil are paid. The State Treasury is abunN
dantly able to meet them as they mature,
and it pays the interest coupons promptly,
the LIST of July and January.
It is a notable fact that brokers have in
vested extensively in these bonds, and used
them as collaterals in New York, where they
were able to borrow money at per cent.
upon this security.
We mention these facts to show that the
financial credit of the State is good-as
good as any in the Union; and her financial
condition is far better than nine-tenths of
them

STATE GLEANINGS.

Circuit Court adjourned last Saturday.
Thirtysone cases were disposed of, the
most important one was that of two ne>
oroes from the Fifth district, Nose Taylor
and Mac Watson charged with an attempt
to commit rape upon white lady. They
made full confession and were sentenced
to term of ten years each in the peniten-
tiary, A motion by John Warren's coun-
sci to quash the special venire being
sustained, his case was continued until
the August term of the court, Friday the
23d of August being the day fixed for his
trial, Sheriff Anderson returned on the 2lst
ult., from his trip to Texas, whittier he had
gone provided with all the proper papers
necessary to bring Warren here legally.
The Deputy Sheriff of Nevada county,
however, actuated probably as much by the
hope of reward as by love of justice. took
time by the forelock and brought Warren
here on his own responsibility, arriving
here day OF two after Sheriff Anderson
left for Texas-New Albany Democrat.

the self-sustaining principle of bolstering
each other up instead of every man strik'
ing only for himself, they would soon see a
salutary change. Such course would
make them happier, more sociablo and far
more prosperous as community, and as
individuals. The policy which allows
a shillful and deserving home artizan to be
starved out at his trade is short sighted and
injurious to any community. We plead
for this class of laborers in every town the
consideration of their merits, and the sound
policy of sustaining them when they de-
serve it.

Two new papers have started in Jackson
during the present week, to-wit: The
Peoples Journal, by J. j. Spellman, Esq,
and the Daily Independent. by the hide
pendent Publishing Co. The first is a re-
Nival Of the old Peoples Journal and is, as
formerly, devoted mainly to the education
al and religious interest Of the oolored peo-
pie Of Mississippi. We think it is calculat-
ed to WELD a wholesome influence among
them, and to be Of decided service and fn>
terest TO leading members of the colored
Baptist Church throughout the State. The
Independent is a greenback paper, and
though we don't comprehend the wisdom
Of It's Inauguration or appreciate the vitali-
iy Of the so>called greenback party, yet it
would be gratifying TO us to SEQ the IndeN
pendent successful financially, and politi-
eally 80 far as its greonback principles 60.
1t would please us amazingly to see the
sreenback idea prevail, and the bloated
bondocrats robbed of their control Of the
Government.

Cant. Jones, Candidate for t1rc ult
Clerk.

The people of Montgomery county have
q chance now to pay debt of gratitude
which they ought to feel proud of. They
have chance to vote for our old friend
Capt B. F. Jones for Circuit Clerk, aud
| if they don't do it and elect him we don't
see the use of devoting lifetime to their
interests. Capt. Jones was on hand at the
birth of Montgomery-w the leading
doctor at her 0ccoucheaaent-an for twenty
five years he has stood out in that country
as a beacon light to the anxious and erring
They have looked upon him as their polltl-
cal headlight, and he has kept his light
blazing all the time. If work was to be
done Jones has always done it. If con
vention had to be gotten up, or if a man
needed an endorsement, or if the vote OF
the county was Necessary to turn the scale
of State nomination, Jones had to be
conciliated and prevailed upon to work up
the case. There is no telling the amount
of service Jones has done for the county,
and they owe it to him to vote for him for
whatever he wants.
The press of the whole State will take
deep interest in this election. The press
gang look upon d. f. as one of their
staunchest pillars. To man they are in
favor of his election, and appeal to Mont
gomery if she has any desire to appease the
nress of the State to vote for Jones. The
election of Jones will be regarded as grace
full and proper recognition of the power of
the press his defeat will be viewed in the
LIGHT of q snub, and no one can foresee the
disasters that may follow thing like that
1t is the first time that Jones has ever
asked an office from his constituents, and it
is the first time that the press of the State
was unit upon question of this kind
Citizens Of Montgomery, we do not pre-
sumo to NEEDLE in your county affairs, but
this is all extraordinary case. Jones must
be elected-he should be elected by accla-
mation-ev everybody ought to vote for him.
Do this,-do it cheerfully and readily; don't
hesitate about it, and thus reward faith
full sentinel and pay just tribute to the
press.
