We are gratified to have the opportu nity to publish the following letter, writ ten by Hon. Jefferson Davis in reply to inquiries designed to elicit his opinion upon a subject of vital importance; BEAuvom POST OFFICE, ????HISON Co., Miss., DEO. 14,1878. My Dear Sir: I this day received yours of tho 12th inst., asking for my opinion as to tho right of the Legishi . ture of a State to instruct her Senators iu Congress. Personally a disinterested observer, I staud upon the political river, earnestly watching whatovor it may bear, hut without any purpose over again to launch my bark upou it. My opinions, howev er, upon any subject which interest Miss issippi, are, os tue/ always will be, at the service of ray friends who may de sire tohuvo them. Thc government of the Unitvu Slates is ! essentially representative, the necessary c?.nsequence of tho admitted sovereignty of tho people, and the individuality ofthe representative to his constituency would bo to attack the foundation of our polit eal system. Tho two houses of Congress represent, tho ono the people the other tho States themselves. If the people of n Congressional district were to assemble iu mass, and instruct their representa tives upon any particular question, who will gainsay their right to do so, cr his duty ta obey? In tho compact of thc Union it was provided tba', tho representatives of tho States, their Senator*, should be chosen by their respective Legislatures. Those Legislatures :\o, in that connection, ex press tho voice of thc State, and tho Senator who accepts his election by tho Legislature, as such expression of tho Stato would ?eera to ho estopped from contending nt any futuro timo that tho Legislature was not tho proper chnnucl through which thc State should ?peak tu him. It has been the practice of tho Democ racy cither to obey instructions or to resign tho office held from tho people so that their constituents might,if they HO desired, Hclcct some one else who would moro truly represent them. Nor has this been entirely confined to tho Democ racy. Thc statesman who hus been called tho expounder of thc constitution, whoii tho wild waves of abolitionism wero beating against tho bulwarks of tho constitution, and threatening its sub version, in view of tho prospects of re ceiving instructions which ho could uot conscientiously obey, said lie hoped tho event might not arise, and clearly indi cated, though he did not express it, that in such a contingency ho would vncato u scat he could not consistently retain. . In tho democracy of Greece thc pco ?ilu assembled in mass to discuss and to egislatc. In tho republic of Borne thc government was ono of orders, the pntri ciuus aud the people having conflicting powers. In neither of these could rep resen tatious Buch as or-a have been thc foundation of government. Thercforo wo had to be a law unto ourselves. Whereas nil othor modoru republics wero based upon pro-existing feudal system ; we had no compromises to make with abuses aud with privilegod olassp?; but wero out red a clear sheet, on which tho charter of human liberty and tho su premacy oi' lav might be written. Thc people of each independent Stale, possessing sovereign power, organized each for itself a government of their own, and by tho compact of union, delegated to the gcuernl government such powers and fucntions as they ?>ero willing to confido to it. In the Slate governments as well as in that of tho Uuited States, power was attended by a correlativo responsibility of t lioso who from either received author ity acd trust. It was a wiso organism when H was adopted; more wiso, per imps, titan the builders kuew ; for our experience lina taught us that corruption, which works in darkness aud unseen, may undermine the fabric which could reBiat direct and external blows. Y.'o have been, by tho Divine Maker, taught tho danger of being led into temptation. lu tho growth or wealth and luxury, we have seen arise, aa tho consequence, increased extravagance, waitiug on tho necessities of which was nn army of lobbyists, tho agents of powerful corpor ations, Bpccial interests, and of thc moneyed power. Against tho influence of theso it were safor to trust thu body of tho pcoplo who were beyoud the reach of temptation, than the few who arc immediately exposed to it. l-l oppontiou to the right of tho con sthuency to instruct, I know of no nrgu ment which deserves notice, unless it bi that which doilies to the people the rc quisite amount of intelligence. If tba bo true, the corncr-stouo of our tempi is crushed, and it wero vain tc attemp to prop tho superstructure. But is "i ?truo * * h?P? not> * think not and repc fr tho assumption of any man that he hu moro wisdom than tho aggregate of hi neighbor.!. Bo, sir, I cud as I began with tho ea pression of the belief that tho coexist Hre'y, enco of liberty and power requiro th direct responsibility of tho represent* tivo to his constituency, This is th characteristic and especial merit of on political system, Stato and- Federal. In conclusion, ) t me express tho cot viction that unless this be mciutainet nud tho virtuo and intelligence of tl people keep pace with tho demand fr both in tho exercise of the high pow? thor possess, we must look forward I corruption among officials, and anarch to bo followed by despostUm.

A s'atesmun in the strictest scnso of that much-abused word, ho bai by bis broad and liberal views of nat ional policy been a tower of j strength to his pcoi !o during tho dang erous and eventful years which havo marked tho greatest political aud social upheaval through which auy natiou has ever passed, and tho biography of Sou ator Lamar will in the years to come be the history of tho character aud intelli gence of tho South in it? strugglo with a bold and unscrupulous political party, which has had for its watchword va victlt. In 1857 Senator Lamar made his first ap pearance iu the national halls of !. .:\ ?!;-. tiou ns a representative to tho Thirty fifth Congress, and was re-elected to tho Thirty-sixth Congress-taking from thc start n prominent position in tho delib erations o' that body. In full sympa thy with his people, and educated in tho strictest school of Slates' right?, he with drew in 18?0 to tako a ?cat in thc seces sion convention of his otate, and through out the struggle which ensued he bore a conspicuous part in tho field of action and forum of debate. Trained to the law, ho was in 1867 made Professor of Law in thc University of Mississippi, having previously filled tho chair of Po litical Economy in that institution. Hut his responsible and hazardous duties weroyet to come. In 1872 thc people whom ho had served so well again called him to a seat in tho councils of the na tion, as a member of tho Forty-third CongreiiH, and re-elected him in 1874 to the Fourly-fourth Congress. It was n dclicutu und responsible tusk to which be was assigned in stepping again into thc political orena to still the troubled ele ments, and to restore to the people of tho whole country that spirit of nn>'fy and concord HO essential lo their future happiness und prosperity. Suffering no taunt or jeer to fon o from his lins an in cautious or hasty word to feed thc dying ember? of sectional hate, hu maintained at all times a calm and dignified demean or, meeting the attacks of tho opposition in a broad lofty spirit of true statesman ship, which commanded their respect, and gu ve assurance to his friends that ho was tho man for thc occasion. The peo ple of Mississippi, no ver slow lo recog nize and reward ability in public men, elected him in lc7(> to thc Senate of the United Stales, of which budy he has been ono of thc most conspicuous and admit* tedly able members ; und now that thu minority of which ho hus ofttimes boon the "forlorn hopo" in many a holly-con tested fight, is about to spring into tho majority, ho will doubtless bo found among tho foremost of that majority in advocacy of such measures as will Lest tend tu promote tho truo interests of the fieople of tho entire country. Firm in ii? convictions of right und of duty, hu will yield to no pressure thnt may bc ex ercised to drive him from u position which ho has once taken. This was very forcibly demonstrated in his action on tho silver bill at the last session of Con gress. Tho Legislature of Mississippi instructed him to givo his support to that mcasuro; ami with thc people of thc en tire State it was very popular, but Sen ator Lamar boli^ved il to bu his duty to oppose thc bill, after a long strugglo bo tween respect and affection for bis peo ple mid a settled sense of duty, ho mudo a powerful argument in opposition to re monetization, and voled accordingly.

Till: FRENCH CRISIS. llncMiilion Ronlgnit mid 31. (ir o voy In Elec ted ^'resilient. PARIS, January 29. After tho conference between MncMu ion and Dufaure to day, a cabinet couti ..il wu J held at noon, and another this tftornoon, when the President of tho sonate and tho President of tho Cham ber of Deputies were present. Rumors ?f tho imminent resignation of the mur ihal and the assembling of tho chambers in congress obtained general credence. It is believed that thu chambers would sleet M. Grcvey or M. Dufaure President af tho Republic. LONDON, January 29. A dispatch to the Standard, dated at Paris at midnight, says that MacMahon has informed Duiuure that ho will com municate his decision to him at Ver sailles at ono o'clock Thursday evening. It is understood there will bo a message to both houses, A few persons fear that tho President may avail himself of his constitutional right to form an extra parliamentary ministry and prorogue tho chambers for two months, but this is very improbable. Everything indicates that MncMuhon will resign. It may bo considered that ho has already morally done HO. Tho ?robnblo course of events is as follows : 'o-day the government will formally an nounce tho situation of tho chambers, and report tho President's refusal to sign tho decrees res*.. cling tho great military commands. Tl i senate mid chamber of deputies will poss votes of .confidence in tho ministry, who will thus bo obliged to j press their demands on Mp.cMahou for 1 tho changes in tho staff of Generals. A joint congress of tho senate mid chamber of deputies will afterwards bo summoned to nominate a new President. It is pos sible that congress will not meet till Fri day. In tho intcrvul between blacMa hon's resignation and tho election of a now Presideut the couucil of ministers will be invested with executivo power in accordance with tho constitution. Much excitement provo's in Paris, but there has boon no disturbance. Some politi cians think MacMahou's resignation would be an excellent thine bncnijso tho President should not bo allowed to per petuate an ambiguous situation, and a crinia anyhow was invitable. Others prefer to see MacMahon romain till tho expiration of his legal term. Specula tion is rifo respecting his successor. Du faure is too old j lui!, o d'Aumuio and General Chuusey hay? lost chances they formerly possessed. Tho only candidates mentioned arc Admiral Pothah and M. Grovy, with chances-favoring tho latter. A Eeuter's Paris dispatch says it is pos sible tho explanation to tho chambers to morrow will toko the form of a Presiden tial message. M. Grovy'a chances for the Presidency have improved, Dufaure haviujr declined to bscoma ajcandldide. -? x.;?p?tC.. vO vue ? itrti?, noni i-'nris, states that tho police and military au thorities JiAvp taken somo formal pre cautions. The R?publique tlranoaitc, Gambetta'* organ, says : "Those who use the threat of President MacMahon's resignation as a scarecrow aro mistaken. France does not desire, but does fear, a chango in tho head of tho government, What Franco will not have is unconstitutional resist ance to the will of the nation." FASI9, January 80. " Marshal MacMahon has resigned the Presidency of t,he Republic. A congress bas been convoked fer 6 o'clock this evening. The election pf M. Grevy to tho Presidency appears to be certain, all the groups of the Left being in accord on thia point. VERSAILLES, Jan. 80--4 p. m. . MacMahon's letter of resignation says thnt hoing in disagreement with thc min istry, being h ope lcs% of forming .mother Cabluer and unwilling to assent to meas ures which he regards contrary to good army organization, his withdraws from , power. At a meeting of the bureaux, of | tho L<?-% Gambetta proposed-Qrevy for l'r?udent of tho Republic, which was unanimously approved. Marshal Mac mahon asked tho ministers to counter bis lottetvof refution, but they refused, declaring tho letter a merely, PABIB, Jan. 80-4 p. va. The present ministers will resign and a new Parliamentary Cabinet will be constituted. It is reported that Gam betta will take the premiership and the foreign portfolio. Tho concourse of the generul public at Versailles is not very great. Tho excitement docs not com pare with that of May 21, 1878, wheo Thiers resigned. There is no disturb ance anywhere. VEKHAII.LES, Jan. 30-4. p. m. Some groups of tho Right, including thc lionapartists, will support M. Grevy, whose election will bo nearlv unanimous. Tho Legitimists will probably abstain. M, Martel, President of the Senate, w ill I?reside over the congress. MM. Gani ?etta and Marocrc have been to congrat ulate M. Grevy. It is understood the ministry will mo vi that the Chambers, alter the election, adjourn for a week, to allow time to ?etti? pending questions. It is tho general opinion of toe Deputies of the Left that tho present Cabinet bliouhl remain in oflice. Gambetta ex pressed this opinion very decidedly to day, hut it is reported Dufaure an nounced his intel,lion of retiring to pri vate lifo. 4.30 p. m.-On tho assembly of the Chamber of Deputies, (Jrevy read a letter from MacMnbon announcing his resig nation, amidst profound silence. He then read the articles of tho constitution applicable to the situation, and an nounced that the two Chambers would meet in congress at 4..'JO p. m. The sit ting was then suspended.

KILI.SD uv A aluit/jH.-Oa Thursday night last. Leonidas Grover, who resides in tho vicinity of Newtown County, met his death lu a way that is probable without parellel in this or any other couutry. Mr. Grover was a widower, living on his farm with a married daugh ter aud her husband.

Next morning thc daughter arose, and having prepared breakfast went to the adjoining roora to call her father, and was horrified to (ind him lying upon lue shattered bed, a mutilated corpse. lier screams brought the husband quickly to the bedroom, and an inspection disclosed a ragged opening in the roof, directly over thc breast of tho unfortu nate man which was torn through as if by ii cannon shot, mid extending downward through the bedding and floor ; other holes showed the direction taken by tho deadly missile. Subsequent search revealed tho fact that tho awful calamity was caused by tho f'.l! of a nietheric stone and tho stone itself, pyr amidal in shape und weighing twenty pounds and a few ounces, avoirdupois, and stained with blood, was unearthed from a depth of nearly five feet, thus showing tho fearful impetus with which it struck thc dwelling.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edgf of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes thc pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side ; sometimes thc pain is felt under thc shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in thc arm. Thc stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a duli, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable los3 of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some- | thing which ought to have been done, j A slight, dry cough is sometimes an j attendant. Thc patient romplains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of rho skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged, AGUE AND FEVER. DR. C. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of ?the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine.

Its purpuse and method will bs isa same as in the patt: To pretest all the nowa Ia a readable Bhape, at>d to ('.il the truUi though tka heavens fall. Tm: SUN has been, is, and will continue to bi la dupendent of everybody and everything savo th? Truth and Its on n convictions of duty. That la the only policy which an honest newspaper need hive. That ls the policy which has won for this newspaper the confidence and friendship of a wider constituency than waa over enjoyed by ?ny other American journal. TUB BUM IP thi newspaper of tho people. lils not for the rich man against the poor man, or for thc poor man against thc rich mau, but lt seeks ss do cipjal justlco to all interesta in tho community. It is not tho organ of any person, class, seel, or party. There need DO no mystery about its lora? aod hates. It is for tho honest man against tho ; rogues every ti., .e. It is for tho honest Demoen.t as against the dishonest Republican, and for th? honest Republican KS against the dlMionest Pere ne rat. It does not take its cue from tho ut terang of any polltlclnn or political organization, lt gives Its. Klippert unreservedly when men ?r measures aro lu agreement with the Constitution and with the principle* upon which this rcpublis was founded for tho people. Wbcnetur the Cos stitutlon and constitutional principies ate violated -as in thc outrageous conspiracy of 1876, hy whish a man not elected was placed in the President's office, where ho still remains-It speaks out for th? right. That is Tim SUN'? ider. of indopondenee. ? In this respect thero will bo no ch" -<?o in Its pro gramme for 1670. THE SUN has ftilrly earned tho h arty haired ?I rascals, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less in the rear !S70 than in 1878,1877, or any year gono by. TH? SUN ls printed for tho men nod women of to-day, whoso concern is chiefiv with tho affairs or to-day. It hos both tho disposition and tho ability to afford Its reader? the promptest, fullest and most acenrato intelligence of whatevor in tho wido world is worth attention. To this end the resources belonging te well-established prosperity will bo liberally ata loyed. Tho present disjointed eondlUon of parties la this country, and tho uncertainty of futurs,' lend an cxtraoidlnary significance to ?renta of the cowine year.
