Jacksou.-Gov. Brewer denies that II

NississipPi many years before the Civil
War, a. proposed in a circular letter sent
to Legislators Of this state by the firm oi
II. B. Collins 4 Co., bankers, of Wall

The letter stated that the members
Of the firn had consulted with Gov.
Brewer, among others, regarding some
plan to redeem the ante-beiium boads,
which were repudiated by legislative en-
sctment before the war. The New York
firm appears to be seeking to have Mis.
sis-ippi issue a new bond on terms with
a long sinking fund which would take up
the old repudiated bonds. The latter rep.
resent something like ~ ,0oo. 900.
