of the President and becomes a law.
1t will enlarge the electoral col.

of Dakota as a State would increase

Our jackson Letter.

u Olll " pIuliOII (H0
sale of vinous and spirituons liquors
in the town of Ealkner has become
a law.
The bill providing for the regu
lation Of the sale Of intoxicating
liquors, which passed the House
some time ago, has been killed in
the Senate.
The law in relation to the sale of
intoxicating liquors by the pint has
been repealed, The law remains
the same in regard to selling liquor
by the gallon. The mode of Ob-
tanning license to retail is unchang-
ed. The word "knowingly" In the
Code, in relation 20 selling liquors
to minors has been repealed.
The immigration bill, making an
appropriation Of il, 900, was chang
ed in the House, making an appro
priation of $4,000. The member
from your county opposed the bill.
Col. Inge, of Corinth, made n of
his ablest efforts in opposition to
the appropriation Of $4,000, and
insisted on an appropriation of only
$4,000 for immigration purposes,
and l am of opinion that without
his effort the House would have
passed the bill as it came from the
Senate; hence, | think that he saved
the State $4,000 by one speech.
The House yesterday passed a
bill providing that no sale shall be
had under deed of trust Of personal
property unless the property shall
at the sale bring two,thirds of its
value--tne value to be ascertained
before sale by three disinterested
men, n chosen by mortgagor,
one by mortgage, and the third
one chosen by the other two. If
the property shall fail to bring two.
thirds of its appraised value and the
mortgagor will make a bond with
good surety fol the delivery of the
property at the end ofsix months to
the trustee, then no sale shall be
had. The bill will doubtless be
defeated in the Senate, and will not
become a law.
, Two bills HAYS been introduced
in the House 6istrlctihg the State
into seven congressional districts.
Both bills puts your county in The
ID district. One otthe,bills makes
the I'd district up of Tippahi, Union.
Benton, Marshall, Lafayette, Ta'e,
DesOto, Y~allabusha, Tallahatchie.
and Suniowcr. The other bill
makes the district up If Tippah,
Union, POntotoc, Lafayette, Mar
shall, Benton, Tate, Desoto, Pamela
and YalIabusha. There will be a
big fight over the redistrlcting Of
the State, and l do not think that
either bill will pass without Consld
cradle amendments.
The governor has not yet made
his appointment of judges. He
seems very slow in making up his
mind.
A resolution submitting to the
vote of the people a constitutional
amendment providing FOR the cleo
tiOn Of judges and chancelIors by
the Legislature. has passed the
the House. Ny opinion is that the
change will be a bad QUE. If you
could witness the horde of lobby
lists that infesL the halls Of our leg
islature and could take a peep into
the MoDUS OPERANDi of their doings,
you would a! once agree with me
that tive would better hear the ills
we have than 10 fly TO others we
know not Of" A most ridiculous
scene would be presented when the
legislature should meet to elect
judges.
A very strong effort is being
made to have a constitutional con-
vention called to frame a new con-
,titution, but think it will fail.

Captain Joe, the local chief Of the
Washoe tribe, informs the APPEAL that
there is squaw nearly $50 years old
living on the outskirts of Carson. He
says she has not been on Carson street
for nearly 20 years; enjoys good health,
and eats and sleeps well. Her grandson,
at the age of 60 years, was one of Gen
eral Fremont's guides when he crossed
the plains forty Years ago. If Captain
Joe's not mistaken in the squaw's age,
she is certainly the oldest person alive
