A Restrospect Of Mississppi's
Historic Old Capitol
Building.

Much has been said of recent years,
and especially during the session of the
last Legislature, about the restoration of
the oIo Capitol building A bill was pass
ed at the last session carrying an appro-
priation of S125O00 to repair the old
building, and in speaking of this in an
article in the Clarion-Ledger of the 9th
instant, MIR. C. o. Jaad jr., gives his
Eorial sketch of some of the stirring
scenes and Incidents which have occur
led within it's walls to impress the mem
ory with a reverential appreciation of
the grand old building.
The following extract is taken from
this article from the pen of Mr.. @. 0.
Jaad, jr.:
'The Old Capitol is one of the most
historic buildings in the State and it's
architecture is considered among the
most handsome of any building in the
South.
1t stands on an eminence overlooking
tention from every arrival, being in
plain view of the union depot. 1t is
surrounded by handsome southoaks and
other forest specimens and just south of
it is park owned by the Daughters of
the Confedcracy and which contains the
monument to Jefferson Davis, one of
Mississippi's best beloved citizens and
President of the Confederacy.
X * x + X
The Old Capitol has entertained some
prominent visitors, among them Henry
Clay in 1874, Andrew jackson four years
earlier and Ko suth, the famous Hun
garian patriot.
1t has seen times of joy and times of
sorrow and its walls echoed and rever--
berated the cheers of strong, resolute
nation when after stormy session Mis-
sissippi adopted the ordinance of seces-
sion and became the second in the sister
hood of the Confederate States, which
aived only four years, but which in that
time established record to challenge
the admiration of all and built up tra--
ditions Of courage and chivalry that can
never die and which will be told SO long
as the hearts of men leap to the song of
the sword and the call Of conflict
When enc visits the Old Capitol and
stands within its halls one cannot help
but feel the inspiration Of the past if
he recalls the night of January Z, 1861,
when the convention adopted the ordi-'
nance of secession which severed the
bonds of union then existing between

streets after twilight.
1t was indeed a dark hour in Missis-
sippi history, but in the East there rose
star.
1T is related that on one dark night
torch was waved from the portico of the
Capitol. 1t was answered by wave
from State street and from far south
came another CLEAN.
In few moments band of horsemen
gathered in its shadows. They Wore the
white disguise and blood-red cross of
the Ku Klux Klan and from the old
Capitol commenced their campaign that
subdued the negro and resulted few
months later in the restorat ION of the
State to its rightful masters7the.h
glo Saxon peoples who had ca
from the wilderness.
And in 1876 came the crowning /,
of the Old Capitol-a Legislature -,
of which Col. H. Il. Street was a mem
Der, threw off misrule and instituted ar
ticles of impeachment against Adelbert
Ames who, though West Pointer, re-
signed under fire. Other negro officials
quit while others were allowed to serve
out their terms.
Thus through the panorama of the
years the Old Capitol watched the
growth of the people of this State. In 49,
80 it's walls echoed the words of J. z.
George as he directed the construction of
our present admirable constitution, con-
tanning as it does provisions guarantee
ing that always will this State be gov
erned by the Anglo Saxon peoples.
But the old building was decaying and
during the administration of the>late
Senator A. j. McLaurin, an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature was called for the
purpose of providing new State House
During the administration of Gov
ernor Longino the new Capitol was
built and the old building abandoned in
1903, Since that day it has stood the
haunt of owls and bats, of persons who
would seek privacy from the world and
in spite of its wonderful historical val
ue has suffered much from sore neglect.
"There is" said a speaker on the
floor of the Legislature, ''much about the
Old Capitol to forget" He was wrong
for every i'll inflicted on Mississippi
within it's walls, there have been tri-
umphs to recompense, Though from it
the heel of the invader was pressed on
the prostrate form of the Old South,
within it's walls the New South was born
and to the world was given the pronun-
ciamento, I'VE of Mississippi of the
Anglo-Saxon birth, of parentage to be
proud are of right self-governing peo-
pie and shall exercise that preerogative," +"
