y delegate to the cotton growers
convention ut Nicksburg wants to
Know IL the state is TO pay his ex-
penses. Others may fail into such an
error, because the appointment was

The governor is daily imporluned
personally and through correspond
ence to introduce subjects OF legislg-
tion TO the extra session outside of
those mentioned in his proclamation.
He authorizes the GAZETTE reporter to
say that the constitution, as construed
by him, prohibits such action. and
further that il others were considered
they would detract attention from the
important question which necessita-
teu the extra session and endanger the
possibilities Of effective legislation
thereupon. He suggests that il the
door was opened to new subjects, it
would invite continuous strain until
the end OF the session. The governor
Is not willing TO positively assert that
ne may not change his views, and vet
II ~ very improbable that he will.
