Messrs. Chalmers, Hooker Manning and
Muldrow. Against it, Mr. Money. Not
voting, Mr., Singleton. We congratulate
our members upon what has been Sc
cured for our State We have noticed
that the Mississippi Rivers system has
come in for a liberal share.
OF the Southern States, Texas, Ten
nessee, Louisiana, North Carolina and
Georgia are literally provided for For
example, $4,000 are appropriated TO
the improvement of the Cumberland
river, and $4,000 for the Tennessee,
in addition to the large sums appropria-
ted at the previous session. For Gal
weston Harbor, 100000. For New
Orleans, $50, 900. Memphis, $37, 900.
Mobile, 100000 Savannah Georgia.
100000. Alabama river $50, 900. This
bill was supported by the Northern De
mocracy. While there is a di-propor-
ton in the appropriations among the
Southern States, owing probably TO a
want Of agreement among their own
members, it affords no ground for APP
prehension that the Northern Democracy
are not willing to accord to the South
her proportional share of the disburse-
menis.

Lowndes county Democratic Executive

The people of Mississippi owe them a
lasting debt of gratitude. Captain Field

"THAT Mr.. TILDEN has been fully
indicated by recent investigation, that
he was cheated out of a fair election, and
that he ought to be placed in the field
for tbs race of 1880, is the purport of
numerous letters now being received by
Congressman at Washington from all
parts Of the country nor is there any
reason to believe that these letters are
manufactured for the occasion. They
evidently reflect a rapidly growing senti-
ment in Mr.. Tilden's favor, or at least a
general feeling on the part of the Dem
ocracy that the dignity and honor OF the
party demand his nomination" This is
the way as able and sagacious jour
al as the St. Louis Republican puts it.
We nave no very decided choice as to
the candidate. The question should be.
is he honest, is he true to principle, is he
available? 1t begins to look as if no
names would have more magical effect
in rallying the Demoeratic-Conse
masses than TILDEN AND HENDRICKs.

THE CLAIM OF IRREsPoNsIB1L1rY.

The fact that Senators are elected by
the State Legislatures for a given term
does not support the theory of irresponsi-
bility, and of one man power, advanced
by our correspondent. In framing the
Constitution the method of organizing the
federal Legislature was cause of seri-
Gus trouble, between the large and the
small States. The former were reluc-
tant to give up their power; and the lat
ter were tenacious of their rights as CO.
equal sovereignties under the pro posed
compact. The difference was settled on
the principle of representation accord
ing to numbers in the House of Repre-
sentative, and of equal representa-
ton In the Senate, so as to secure
to small State like Delaware for ex.
ample, equal representation with
New York. The Senate represents
the federative principle of the Union,
where each State is the equal of
the other without reference to pop-
uIation or extent of territory. But it
never entered the minds of the trainers
of the Constitution that the adoption of
this just rule contravened the fundamen. /
tai principle that government derives it's |
Just powers from the consent eff the |
governed or that the agent is superior
to bis principal.
