Bill Giving South MISS.
More Representation Void

Jackson, Miss. March 16.-It was
discovered yesterday that the resolu.
ton which it was believed would give
South Mississippi three new senators
was imperfectly drawn and not worth
shucks. There will be weeping and
wailing and language all round over
that section when this sad truth is dis
closed. Some one had blundered."
There was a clerical oversight in
drawing the resolution. The matter
is largely technical, but in brief it is
held to be an attempt to amend the
constitution without first submitting
the matter to the people. The chief
justice of the supreme court and one
of the justices concurred in the opin.
Ion on the matter submitted informal.
