D'Erlarige and Mr.. Beer, of lits , firm,
visited England, and arranged matters with
Mason, Spence, and with Frazer, trenholm,
& Cri., all of whom were acting as lagents
of the Confederacy. 1 A special agent had
been jaPpointed by the Rebel government
to take charge of th loan,---General C. J.
Mcßae, whd I was on his way frorn Rich
mond to 'Paris; but as the needs lof the
Confederacy were urgent, the loan was
opened before his arrival.
The support of the press was secured,—

On the nest day; the 20th, Mr. Spence
- '
"We' shall Very much exceed a 'million
here, I .think, by

political effect wi l'be'enormatis: ' 'lt is the
recognition lof the South by, the intelligence
of Europe."• .• • I
On the 21,si 'ccnCirefuTations were.re
ceived bf - D'Erianger from Slidell,' who
was in London. , • ".:
"Allow i , me to congratulate yon,"'s'aid he,

Notwithstanding the ' "intelligence of
Europe" Bad rushed:to secure !it,- bankers
of respectability `men who ' , prized honor
and integrity above pounda. and pence
stood aloOf, for they remembered that Mr.
Jefferson -Davis, President of the slaVeholcl
ing Confederacy, was a repudiator. No
allegation against him had beeri made
dirorigh he press ,'but the Times came to
the rescue before:are attack. On the 19th,
the day on which the loan•wat isined; Mr.
Sampson; editor otthe city article,
'Those among the English people who
are still Suffering from the Mississippi re
ptidiation will, perhaps,
_view with wonder
and regret the, negotiation of a loan'for
government of which Mr. Jefferson ',Davis,
by Whom that repudiation was defended in
his 'place in Congress, is the ) head. But
the Southern Confederacy includes
Virgin
ia; Georgia, and other 'henorable States,
and it is:by the prospect, of what the on
federacy ao as . a whole that people:will
make :their calculation'. The reasoning
that would exclude the South from, a loan
on account of Mississippi, . would !apply
equally to the North, since the North em
braces Michigan. • It wbuld- also have ap
plied to she United States loan§ negotiated
while Mississippi was a State'ofjthe Union,
and especially -while Mr. Jefferson Davis
was an influential member of the Federal
governmnnt, and regarded with high favoS
by all the Northern population,. by whoni
the -remarks of the Times on his financial
views were then declarad to be nothing but
theloutpeurings of British rancor'.".' -
The State of Mississippi' Bad obtained
thelmoney in London on the solemn pledge
of the faith of the State, and loaned it to
the citizens; 'but the State had broken its
pledge.repudiated the debt, and Mr: Jeff
Davis eulogized the 'proceeding! The
courts of the State decreed in 112 that
the debt was valid, and the deeisi n was
reaffirmed in 1853. Jeff Davis was then
Secretar l v of War, and-:through' his efforts
and influence the State Continued to repu
diate the claims of the British bondholders.
In 1803 Mississippi was indebted to Eng
lishmen not only for the principal, '*5,000,-
009, bat • for twenty-five years of unpaid
interest; yet,, notwithstanding this, the
TiMes, Cathyg ite words of other days, • came
before the English pople with a certificate
of character forr - the tepudiator, also, pub
lishing - Ono from-Slidell!`- "I rim inclined
to think," wrote Slidell, -"that the' people
in London, -confound; Mr:' Reuben. Davis,
whom Ilhave alWayS! understood to 'hovel
