Jackson. Miss. May 26.-(Special9- Governor Noel Is very enthusiastic in his 1 ndorsement of the conference of govern CTS at Washington, from which he has just returned, and over the deliberations of which he was called to preside. He thinks the conference will result in last
 ing good to the country generally. The governors of the states needed the inter change of views, the data and the infor- nation that was given them by experts Oh natural resources. Every state and territory of the United States was repre- scented by the governor in person or by proxy. Ex-President Cleveland had prom ised to be present, but was prevented by Illness, and the concensus of opinion in that section is that Mr. Cleveland will never again be a well man.
 Governor Noel states that MT. Bryan, who Is certain to be the nominee of the democratic party for the presidency, was one of the helpful and interested partiei- pants in the deliberations of the confer enee, and was the author of the resolu- ton extending sympathy and good wishes to Mr. Cleveland and regretting his ab- senee.
 The meeting was most harmonious, says Governor Noel, except for differences of opinion as to estimate of time required for consumption of all our forests, coal, mineral and oil resources, and as to minor questions of policies. The deelara- ton of principles and purposes was unan- imously adopted.
 Governor Noel was at the capitol bright and early this morning and dived at once into the mass of letters that had accumu- lated during his absence, and which were of such a nature that Acting Governor Manshp did not feel called upon to act.
 The governor states that he has no comments to make on any of the official acts of Governor Manshlp. As to the Startling pardon, he says he had never considered the matter one way or the other-that the petition for pardon had never been presented to him.
 He has enjoyed his three weeks outing and returns to his work full of confidence in the future and feeling that his trip has done him good physically as well as in other ways
 Another Richmond has appeared in the field as an aspirant for congressional honors in the Seventh district, that now represented by Frank McLain, in the per son of J. B. Errington O. Copiah county He has not fully determined what he will do about running, but has the matter un- der consideration. according to his local paper. and reports that reach here. There are already four or five candidates in Natchez, Jesse B. Webb of Pike, Thomas M Shelton of Lincoln and MT. McLain. In the event that Copiah, one of the most populous counties of the district, puts out a candidate, the race will be lively one.
 Mr Errington has served his people as mayor of Hazlehurst, and his county in the legislature, so that he is fully armed and equipped for the congressional race.

 The late legislature increased the price or license to retail cartridges from s10 to $50 and for that reason great many merchants who have been handling them heretofore are declining to renew their H. eense, claiming they do not make enough in a year to pay for the license The privilege was increased so that the small country stores would quit handling them and the negroes quit buying, and seems to be accomplishing one object, at least stopping the sale by the small merchant
