Meridian, Miss, March %, 1886.

We give place 10 the foregoing letter
Of Mr. Scully; though be is as badly
mistaken about what we said OF the
Special Committees report, as he IS
about what his own measurements IN
cluded
The 'innuendo" referred to by Mr.
Scully was first priated in THE DAILY
CLARION of March Il, and is in the
following words;
As 10 the value of the work done, the
Committee Tof which Senator Thrasher
was chairman find on the testimony OF
two experts. one a resident of Holly
SPRINGS and the other of Natchez, that
! the oGorfgate overcharge which the ma
| iority found from the testimony OF L.
| SculIv is substantially correct; though
AZ to certain portions of the work there
are differences between Scully and the
Holly Springs and Natchez men which
run up into the thousands.
A comparison of this extract with
Mr.. Scully's letter will show that we
admitted all he claims as to the differ
ence in the aggregate, between his esti'
mates and those OF the experts examined
bv the Special Committee. We did moi
say that the difference from Mr.. Scully''
Estimates in total' ran up into the
thousands, as he seems TO think, no
anything that could be tortured int
such statement by the most ignoran
or the most designing.
We adhere literally to our statemen
that the differences between Scully an'
the Special Committees experts run u
into the thousands" For instance:
Scully valued the Blacksmith shop a
+ IS, 5O8.82 Majority Report, page i
Palm and Davis, the Special Commit
tees experts, valued the Blacksmith
shop at S7,6l212, difference, runnin
up into the thousands, of 81, 105.4O.
, In the item of roofing alone there
difference of $3.50 90, Scully estimatin
So and fraction squares Of Porter
patent roofing, at $500 per square, an
Palm and Davis estimating 100 square
at the same price.
Scully puts the Dining Room at y
4l4.O2, and Palm and Davis at So, 5000
There are other differences, but it
not necessary to notice them as the II
stances cited abundantly warrant th
so-called ''innuendo."
If we understand Mr.. Scully he easil
o accounts for the difference in the est
+ mates by saying that Messrs. Palm an
e Davis valued all the work under COZ
tract finished and unfinished (soma
which was finished after he made h
d measurements, while he valued onl
II the finished work. In this he Is mi
/ taken; for on page 16 of the Majorit

, brick laid in the Northeast Tower an

made his figures, amounting to $3.50

WEST PoINT, Miss, March 26, 1856.
EDITOR CLARIoN-The Legislature of
1886 is a thing of the past, and my devo-
ton to my sex causes me to sing the praise
of all of those who were generous, mag
unanimous, and chivalroas enough 10 re-
cognize that women are important fac
tors in the blessings OF our land; and il
educated, the blessings will be greater,
more extended and more fruitful Of gen.
unine. sweet happiness.
The friends OF the Industrial Female
College in the Legislature have placed a
jewel upon their brow far more brilliant
and dazzling than the most precious stone
lit is jewel of devotion to woman, wo-
mans rights, and woman's sphere and du-
ties; they have. recognized that woman
should be educated in the various indus
tries and sciences, that she may make an
honorable living for herself and those de-
pendent upon her; il has recognized that
education in woman is necessary adjunct
to her elevation and fitness for wife and
mother, more important item than all
others to be considered in the elevation of
morals, happiness of family and prosperity
of country. 1t has wisely recognized tn at
it owes as much to the daughters Of Mis-
sissippi as to its sons-and why not +?
Mississippi's daughters are as poor and
more dependent, physically, and by virtue
| of sex denied the ordinary avenues of
earning living. Education will fit them
| for positions IN life of modest bearing in
which they can earn livelihood and pro-
tect the finer sentiment and sensibilities SO
essential to the preservation of womanly
woman. In behalf of the daughters OF
Mississippi, thank the Legislature for its
| liberal appropriations TO the i. F. c., the
pride OF every woman in Mississippi.
Respectfully, Mrs +. S. w

In December, 1884, Jno. n. McGee,
guardian of Lucinda Nj. MCGEE, minor

exhibited his bill against G. S. Ellis,
and J. Q. Rollins, administrator of the
estate Of ]. B. Ellis, which set out in
substance that in 1857 J. B. Ellis was
appointed administrator of the estate of
one George Burton; that in 1874 a
decree was rendered against J. B. Ellis
as such administrator for S44S3.33 in
favor of the heirs of George Burton, and

traitor, the decree against ]. n. Ellis was
duly revived against his estate; that G.

verified to his own use large quantity
