NOUNCED.

The following resolution, intro
duced by Senator Burkitt, was
adopted by the Legislature:
Whereas. the joint committee
on executive contingent fund
through the testimony of Chancellor
Kincannon, of the University of
Mississippi, and Prof. D. L. Ross,
secretary of the university. and Mr..
John T. Harris. keeper of the Cap
itol. and Mr.. John Hamilton, night
watchman at the Capitol, elicited
the fact that G. j. Moore. so-called
expert accountant, pretending to
investigate the state officers and
institutions, was guilty of abstract
ing private negotiable notes from
the secretary's safe at the Univer-
sity of Mississippi. fomenting dis
cord in the student body. and
grossly misrepresenting the condi-
tion of affairs at the university on
the streets of Oxford, and that he
attempted to induce the janitor and
watchman to permit him to sur
|reptitiously enter certain Offices in
the capitol, and
Whereas your committee deems
such conduct reprehensible in the
extreme, 'unbecoming in an officer
and a gentleman, and exceedingly
discreditabIe to the power that ap-
pointed and retains such a charac-
ter in SO responsible position; /;
therefore.
Resolved, That it is the sense
of this committee that the said G..
j. Moore should be dismissed from
the service of the state to be effect
i've from and after high noon Tues

findings. / believe the citizens of
this state are willing to pay for
such investigation out of their
private pockets ii the Legislature
