From The Richmond Wig.

We have pretty distinct intlmation in
the Enquirer, through its Washington Cor.
respondent, that he Administration does
DOT intend 10 pass any law this session for
the collecting and safe keeping Of the pub
lie money. The game is, that under pre-
tence that the Administration party canno,
agree upon the details Of any measure, no
act will be passed. The effect Of this will
be, to leave the public money at Tho discre.
lion Of the Executive, where i, has been,
with the exception Of very brief interval,
since General Jackson wres;ed tt from the
custody Of the law 10 1888. The Admin
isiraiion not having such a majority in the

Stale K gh!s gentlemen from Georgia be.
ing IN the way Of such contamination
the Tories will 50 mapGuvre as TO defeat

The Correspondent ofthe Enquirer says:
"it IS somewhat doubtful whether a ma.
jorily Of Congress can be brought 10 agree
90 any specific form Of any bill which the
Administration party will introduce, for the
collection, safe keeping, aud disbursement
Of the public revenue"
"The Administration members will pro.
badly divide on the details Of the measure"
And again: Should Congress (Which
every patriot will deprecate) refuse to do
any thing on the great question Of the cur.
rency, the Erecutire Department, in the
exercise Of IT'S discretionary potsers, must
proride what safeguards it can for The safe.

TO the Public.

THE rights Of the editors and publish
n ers Of papers have been SO long neg
lected. Justice will never be done I'M
less themselves assert their rights and
enforce the most rigid rules, which in the
end will be found alike salutary to the pt-
lie and beneficial to those engaged in the
% ress. Publishers fpapers have been so
long imposed upon by the community at
lar ge, that they are considered to some
extent a degraded class Of beings, when
in IA ct there is no vocation in life so hon
orabLe, deserving of 50 high consideration,
productive Of so much good, a class that
exerts 50 powerful an influence. 1t is
known IL be progerbia for the debtors to
newspaper publishers to consider their de-
mands as the last to be paid--debts 20
which there is attached no moral oblga-
ton, and which they can refuse to pay
with Justice and honor; hence it is incum-
bent upon the conductors Of the press to
assert their own rights, and resolve, sew
orally and jointly, to bring all patrons 81
newspaperg under the same obligations
that attach TO other contracts, or always
remain in poverty and want, with thous-
ands due them from the most solvent men
in the country.
We call upon all editors and publishers
of papers who approve Of the following
rules, 10 endorse them by their Signatures
place them at the head Of their papers,
and strictly adhere 10 item.

on this subject:

MEANNESS.--Some newspapers are
eternally harping on that foolish theme
"Do, good patrons, pay us our money, and
permit us to eat. Dear, kind, honest,
good natured, benevolent, charitable pat
rons, pay your subscriptions; we cannot
get along without money; We know your
disposition to encourage the press; don't
forget your poor, slavish, beggarly print
err" &c. &c. Now, as the saving is, the
world owes every man living; to obtain
it he may work, beg, pick pockets, make
rhnplasters, according 10 the directions Of
his taste and talents. But one of these
branches of business is enough; if he cho-
SEES to work, let him work, and if he pre-
fers begging, let him beg; but it is curious
indeed, If man must work and beg, both.
The pitful tone Of suppication used by
certain papers, confesses a want of worth /;
they appeal to the wrong princlple--they
address themselves TO the con. passion of
their subscribers, when they have demands
on their Justice. Ifthey ask payment for
an equivalent rendered, let them speak
ont like men, and not whimper, whine and
sue like mendicants. If they ask for mo-
ney. when they have no claims founded
in law and Justice, they are beggars in
fact, and may act accordingly. OF this
we are certain, that any business which
needs must be eked out with beggary, Isl
not worth following; and five have a cor
rect view Of the subject, hoeing potatoes,
,leaning SINKS, or any other kind Of hon
sst employment, IS much more respecta-
lie thanthat ''pay rue for me sake u cha
