From present indications we fear
nothing can be secured in the way Of
appropriations from Congress, particu-
arly for this section Of country, but we
feel confident that our able Represent
ative, Hon. Walter NJ. Denny, will do
his very best for the interests of his
immediate section. The Republicans
contend that there is a deficit on ac-
count Of low tariff and Democratic
acknowledgement, and now that they
are in control of the legislative branch
of the government, they must econo-
mizc, and therefore refuse, as far as
possible, to make any appropriations,
at least, not until they restore the
country to a firm financial condition.

The session was concluded by tho
discussion of a resolution offered tt
have a committee appointed to exam
inc the Capitol building, which is bad
ly in need of repairs. Capt. W. II
Hardy, Of Meridian, introduced thu
resolution, and after considerable de
bate it was carried, vote to suspend thu
rules and allow the introduction o,
the resolution being 81 to s. The
minority took the position that
the resolution was a little pre-
mature, though the discussion
showed that there is a wcll-defne(
idea to the effect that the building
should be examined with a view tt
having a new one built.
The House elected Hon. James L
McCoOl, of Attala, Speaker.
Mr.. L. Pink Smith, of the Greenviilt
Democrat, was reelected clerk Of the
House by reclamation.
The Legislature has not got down t
work yet. As oon as the committed
reports on the condition Of the State
house all will be ready to go to wLrl
in earnest. We do hope that the ole
building will not succumb to TIT
heavy weight now, because we would
hate to see the assembled wisdom 0
the State crushed to powder. If on
FlOatcr should 90 down in the crasl
we know his likes could not be founl
in the bounds OF Jackson county
There is no more like him.
