the cry of Washington county for
more Justices of the peace, by giving
them one of these gorgeous creatures in
District number four at Burdette.
The bill to encourage the loaning OF
foreign money was indefinitely post

have been effectual, and helped the
foieign loans to flow pretty freely, we
should have been uncompromisingly
in favor of its passage. Adjourned.

an Act to facilitate the construction of
the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad-to
transfer the lease of the cOnvicts to the

the State of all expense incident to
guarding and careing for them.

regulate the freight and passenger rate
of railroads, and an amendment pro-
viding that the next railroad commits
siOners shall be elected by the Legisla-
ture and thereafter every four years by

The special order for the day was the
agricultural lien law. The committee
reported substitute repeating section
1859, and making it unlawful for any
one to give ~ mortgage on growing
crop. Amendments and substitutes ct
cetera were being piled on when they
adjourned until 7:3Op.m.

IC STATESMEN.
At 100 D. m the earnest and indus
trious statesmen, who in their eager
ness to serve their country had deter
mined to hold night sessions, and burn
the midnight OIL met together for this
great work.
Men of Mississippi, you shall appre-
ciate the grand work which this indus
trious and patriotic Legislature is doing
for you. Think of the pleasure which
by these toilsome night sessions they
are foregoing for yonr sake--the pleas
ure at various places which we will not
mention, on account of our desire to
carry favor with this august body.
But, no mater, they sacrifised it all

pages
"Penned by poets aud by sages,
Should go sounding down through ages

stayed four minutes and a half, and
then reconsider the resolution to have
night session and called it and adjourn
