Qainst his interests or enterprise

The address of Chief Justice George, at
Starkville,, on the occasion of laying the
Corner Stone of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College of Mississippi, appears
upon another page of The COMET toNday.
1t is instructive and full of practical and
valuable suggestions, as everything IS,
which eminates from the pen and brain OF
this sound thinker. And it gives hopeful
augury of success for the new College, in
whose establishment and prosperity the
whole people of Mississippi will take
sincere pride and lively interest. We make
no apology for the absence of miscellany
which the reproduction of this address caus-
es, for there could hardly be found reading
more interesting and valuable to our
patrons 1t is proper to say that the ad-
dress is copied from the Starkville papers,
and as it originally appeared in those pa
pers without revision, there may be error
in the arrangement and Typography OF the
document These, however, it is hoped
are not sufficiently serious to mar the pitt
and point of the address.

plies with equal force to convention. and to
The existing governmental authority. That
provision Of the Federal constitution which
guarantees to all the people OF this land q
republican form OF government Is binding
upon conventions as well as upon Iegisla-
lures. and preserves inviolate the inherent
and inallenable sovereignty OF the people
against any Infringement or divestiture. The
people repudiate the doctrine that, by the
amendments of 1874. they renowned or
abridged the sovereign right OF taxation, and
that the coming convention has any power 10
recognize or perpetuate any such divestiture.
On the contrary, the Democratic people Of
the State expect that theconventien will take
the position that q large portion OF this debt
is fraudulent and should be repudiated out
right, and that 1t has the right to slit 1t for
this purpose, end to insist upon an equitable
adjustment Of the whole of 1t, principal and
interest They also demand that the eonverl-
ton shall enunciate the true constitutional
doctrine that there ls no judicial power on
earth competent to enforce an obligation
against a State except by her special consent
and authority, or to regulate the manner In
which she shall exercise the sovereign power
oil collecting and disbursing her revenues.
These are sound principles OF constitutional
government which deeply involve the rights
and dignity Of the State, and the convention
ID expected to vindicate them against the az
gressions Of the Federal courts and the sophis-
tries Of the bOndhOldsrs.

The New York Tribune thinks that some of
the Republican Representatives from Iowa
will be unseated by Congress, on the ground
that the Congressional election held In that
State In October was illegal. A motion was
made In Congress the other day to refer the
Iowa election cases to the Committee on
Elections. The Republicans fought this
proposition bitterly, but were defeated. The
