DEAR SIN: A you are appraised
the first appropriation for the improve

port of the engineer in charge shows
that tho wsrk was begun at the mouth
of the stream, and the removal of Oh
strustious continued satisfactorily some
distance up the river, The practicable
ily of the Improvement, aud its value to
the commerce of the contiguous terri
tnry, were amply demonstrated, The en-
gneer states;

The Governors Message.

In his message 10 the Legislature,
Governor Lowry gises>a detailed nc.
count of the important transactions Of
hi. office during the past two years, and
makes many valuable recommendation.
No one can read this excellent paner
without heIrg satisfied that the Cover.
nor has given earnest thought TO the
needs Of the people Of the State, and
been actnalcd in his official conduct by
n desire to serve them faithfully.
Some Of his recommendations are OF
especial importance in view Of the pres
ent condition Of the States Treasury.
While we believe that wi-dom requires
that all Of our public institutions should
be amply provided for, We think that
ne showing he has made in favor OF q
reduction Ia the amount Of the annual
appropriations, suf iegt % warrant the

the examples he gives. The Constitu
tion declares that taxation tball be-
equal aud uniform, hut this can never
be unless land Of equal value shall be 81
ps.essed no matter in what county it
may be situated The figures given by
the Governor do not prove rs much ~
Mt first glance would appear, because the
average il based on the value Of unim.
proved ms well M improved lands, aud
the proportions between these ia not the
same in Nil the counties named.
Whether the Legislature shall adopt
the Governors suggestions concerning
the fees Of witnesses IN criminal cases,
it would go far towards correcting the
evil, to which he calls attentinn-the
enormous and constantly mere asing eX
tense to the counties il the Legislature
should provide by law that it shall be
discretionary with the courts to allow
the maximum fee or smaller sum. IN
this way the courts could discourage tn,
practice Of overwhelming the court'
with vast array Of witnesses, many oI
whom know nothing Of the facts undel
consultation and whose testimony nj
best is frequently cumulative. Could I
law of this kind he passed, it would no
take long for ltigauts to a'certain how
many, and what sort Of witnesses wOul,

Mr. CHAIRMtN AND GENTLEMEN OF

pronouncing n eulogy apon the character
and acts Of my friend, Gen. James a.
George, for no words Of mine could add
ANYTHING to hi4 fame, or the Confidence
and esteem in which he il held BY the p,o.
pie of the State of Mississippi. Nor
could they dim the lu-ter of his brilliant
intellect, or detract anything from thu
powers OF his mighty genius; for his daily
walk for the Last twentv.ei hit or thirty
years, speaks londer to the people of hi
native State, than the lofaiest panygerlc'-
eulogy have known this gentleman
long, intimately aud we'll. lIis walk.
both public and private, has been all that
any good citiz.n OF the Stare coul desire
His course as n representative, both in
and out OF the Federal Congress, has
borne the scrutiny of the most skep.
tical, and am satisfied th,t the pub.
lie interest, in his hands, will not suf
fer, and more especially do I say to the
gentlemen OF thiS ctucuS, that the agri-
cultural interest of the State If Mi+seis.
sippi will ever be zaalcu+ly guarded AMI
ably protected in the hands Of James q
George, and II i could add one jewel To
the chaplet that now encrcles hi, brow, by
making MIN Chief Justice of the United
States, would gla 'ly do so. Gentlemen
heartily second his nomination.
