SAVANNAH, January 10
The news from Florida continues cheering. APP
pcarances decidedly justify the expectation that
the enemy will ere long surrender. The task OF the
Commanding General is a delicate We shall
soon know how far he will uuit to existing manifesto
tons of friendly feeling the part of the enemy.
The presence Of the Semnoles from Arkansas in the
enemys camps may and probably will be productive oil
happy results.
Our last information is from Pilatka dated January
11lh Our correspondent says that the news from
the West continues To be gratifying, A letter had
been received there from Col LOOMS, dated at Fort
Clinch, stating that hrtyH,ree Indians had come IN

FINANCES OF MISSISSIPPI.

In his last message the Governor of Mississippi re-
presents the finances Of the State TO be in condition
quite deplorable From the report OF the State Urea
surer il appears that the receipts into the Treasury
ffom the LIST December 1889, to the date in 1910
were $l6I I6l TO- OF this sam, sxty-three thou
sand dollars were in Of the Mississippi Railroad
Company and remain in the treasury unavailable
Expenditures during the same period are shown from
the Auditors report TO the amount Of four hundred
and ninety lone thousand six hundred dollars From
statements which the message contai appears that
even the ordinary expenses OF the State Government
exceeded the receipts in the treasury the sum OF hy
four thousand seven hundred dollars and that the
Treasurer unable TO pay warrants of the Auditor
amounting 10 three hundred and ninety three thousand
dollars The amount Of unavailable funds IN the trea
sury upwards of three hundred thousand dollars
II seems that three ourths thc State debt is incurred
in conseq uence of the State Banks having failed to
redeem their notes taken in payment of the public
dues The low state of the public finances, the diff
Guilty Of collecting taxes, and the embarrassed condi-
ton of all classes of citizens argued by the
Governor for recommending economy and rstrench-
mcnt He suggests that all offices not absolutely ne
cessary should be abolished and that the salaries Of all
officers be reduced at least onehalf The Judges Of
the Circuit Court, and of the High Court OF Errors
and Appeals are particularly pointed out for this ys
TEN of reduction and retrenchment TO operate upon
| The avidty with which the offices are now sought
leads the Governor to suppose that good officers nay
be obtained on cheaper terms. We are not surprised
| to hear such a sentiment coming from Loco Foco
The humiliation of the Federal Judiciary has been
favorte with the party for several years. and
it may be expected that the principle may be act
ed upon under the State Governments There is
more Of good in another plan Of rctrenchment
suggesting that the Legislature should hereafter assem-
bic but once in two years, by which twenty five thou
sand dollars per annum would be saved The neces-
sty Of doing something diminish the current expen-
dtures sufficiently obvious from the facts, but the
prodigious of Mississippi give ample reason
to hope that the depression cannot be oong continu-
ance The annual product Of cotton is equal in value
TO onethird of the crop of the whole Union, and i
yields oneseventh of all the exports of the United
States Of domestic growth Besides, the recent in
in the growth of corn oats, wheat, and rye,
and the number of horses cattle and swine raised by
the planters has already made Mississippi independent
of other States for the necessarics Of life Ifa country
of such agricultural abundance and unparalleled re-
remains in state Of bankruptcy, it can only
be from bad legislation and worse management.-N.
