HOUSE 2ND DAY.
AN IMPORTANT AND HEATED DISCUS
SION.
Col. Gordon, of Pontotoc, offered the
resolution that each member be furnish
ed with four dollars worth OF station
cry and one dollars worth of postage
stamps
Then our distinguished friend, the
great southern economist, Capt. Frank
Chickasaw, of Burkitt, arose in the
fulness of his patriotic indignation and
sternly rebuked such reckless extrava-
gance.@
In the name of the oppressed masses
of toiling taxpayers of Mississippi, he
loudly demanded that the enormous
sum of five dollars be reduced to two
and halls
Undsunted by the jeers and Taught
er of the wasteful and extravagant
Legislators, so thoughtless and recreant
to their sworn duty, this faithful pro-
tector of the people, like the Roman
Sentinel of old at his post, in ringing
tones opposed this reckless and bank
ruptingwaste of two dollars and half.
And in the long and heated discus
sion which followed, this illustrious
defender of ground hog-economy con-
tended earnestly and pathetioally
gainst the greed of the rapacious
spoilsmen, who sought to thrust hun.
CRY fingers into the State treasury and
pillage its wealth, and perpetrate an
other gigantic Credit Mobilier fraud.
But unheeding the voice of economy
this extravagant Legislature passed Q
resolution allowing each member four
dollars worth of stationery
Secretary of State transmitted to the
House the official vote cast for Gov
ernor, stating that the counties Of Gov
ington, Holmes, Issaquena, Sunfiowel
and Winston had not sent in the votes
as required by the codes
Mr.. Hoyle, then offered a resolution,
that the Speaker appoint postmaster
of the House, and that each member
be requested to pay fifty cents for hi;
salary.
We do not know whether the dis
tinguished economist of Chickasav
was so overwhelmed and troubled by
his defeat in attempting>to thwart the
spoilesmen in their stationery grab, Oh
whether he was out having an injunct.
ion sued out against the scheme; but
this extravaganza post office resolution
went through without opposition from
Chikasaw and the House adjourned un'
til the following day.

Secretary Manning.

There are indications that Secretary
Manning will not remain in the tr. asury
department. This is the belief Of thos
most intimate with him. Mr.. Manning's
return to the department has been regarded
as an experiment by himself, his ph. sicians
aud friends. The experiment has not
proved satisfactory one, or reassuring,
and Mr.. Manning has already wearied Of
the irksome duties Of his place. More than
that, he feels that il he shall continue tc
perform these duties he will expos. himself
to the very serious danger of recurrence
OF the attack which has once brought him
SO near the grave, and in view OF this fact
secretary Manning says that he considers
that he is performing an act of self martyr
dom to remain where he is. Unless treas
ury rumors are incorrect. MIR. Manning is
receiving very Important assis ance in the
preparations OF the formal portions of his
report from Assistant Secretary FaIrchild,
treasurer Jordan and Solicitor General
Jenks.

This distinguished son of Massachusetts,,
died at Boston, Sunday morning, Nov. 81.
Ten years ago there began decay Of his
mental forces, and for the last five years
nothing of the former man has been
apparent. He was born at Boston, Aug.
IL, 1907, and graduated ut Harvard at the
age Of eighteen. He is survived by his
wife, Miss Brooks, Of Me0fOrd, whom he
married ffty-eight years ago, with four Of
their seven children. An earlier genera
tiOn will recall Mr.. Adams profound SER
vices a. an anti-slavery and Free Soil
Advocate and his work ia Congress in that
cause. Mr. Lincoln appointed him to the
English mission, from which he returned
III 1865. His low studies he pursued in the
cffice Of Daniel Webster, but the wealth
brought to him by his marriage did not
demand of him devoted attention to that
profession, but like his father John Quincy
Adams, his vigor was devoted to political
and literary pursuits.
