PUBLIC MONEY, EDITORIAL CoNTRo-
vERsY.-The Mississippian of the 2lst
inst. contained an editorial under the head
Of The Public Money and tho Banks, +" in
which the policy Of employing Banks in
the custody of the public money by the
General Government is strongly denounc-
ed The remarks of the Mississippian
were called forth by the report OF the
United States Treasurer, in which il ap-
pears that upwards of seven millions Of
dollars was on deposite with various bank
ing institutions and with individuals, not
officers of the Government. The South
ern Reformer of the Oath takes excep.
tions TO the course of the Mississippian,
and denounces with warmth the article al
luded TO. The Mississippian Of the 2Sth
reioins in an article Of considerable length,
in which the charges and differences Of
the Reformer are repealed with much feel
ing and Indignation, and refers 10 the
Treasurer's report itself for the truth Of
the charge. We have read the article in
the Mississippian, which originated the
controversy, the remarks Of the Reformer
in reply thereto, and the rejoinder of the
Mississippian, together with the Treasur-
er's report; and can only say that we are
inclined 10 think the Mississippian justi-
fable in thus early scrutinizing the acts
of the Administration in regard to the
selection Of banks as the depositaries of
the public money. "The divorce of Bank
and State was one Of the great issues oil
the last Presidential election, and the
wishes Of the majority of the American
people should be carried into effect in the
entire withdrawal Of all the peoples mo-
ney from the custody of these irrespons-
BILE institutions. The public money should
be kept in the hands of responsible agents
of the government, ready at all times to
be disbursed according TO the laws Of the
country. If the course should be pursued
by the Administration which the report Of
The Treasurer would seem to indicate, The
Pet Bank system would be re-eslablishcd
and an inflated and irredeemablc paper
currency in all PROBABILITY be the conse
quence. The United States, and parli
cularly Mississippi, have had enough o
this. We say, let there be no connection
with tho Government and Banks; ant
should the acts of our public servant.
need censure in this matter, which Il np
pc ars to us they do, we for one say, LAY

WoRK HOUSES FOR THE PooR.--There
arc many among US who feel anxious that
Cotton and other Factories should be es.
tablished in our town, 10 invest the CAPT.
Ia! Of tho rich and give employment, TO
the poor. This we have always opposed,
and shall continue to oppose, 60 long as
we have reason vouchsafed to us. Let
our wealthy men invest their capital in
ship building, in commerce, in any thing
that will give employment TO our ingenious
mechanics, and industrious laborers-but
let them keep factories from among US,
that will give our men no employment,
and make slaves of ouI smiling, happy
healthy, rosy-cheeked daughters. Parents,
do not permit such sacrifice 10 be made.

Only eight or nine winters had passed
over her head, and yet she was old--old

a victim.

her sorrowful reply TO the little qucstionor.
Stepping up to this little child Of sorrow
and want, we enquiredNhow many hours
she worked each day, and the wages she

stood in her eye, as she replied:

attained the ordinary ACKNOWLEDGMENT ex-

We have already presented TO our readers the
bright auspices under which this gallant young
champion Of Democracy has discharged the first
obligations OF Sovereign State, and selected, OF
her own free will, her constitutional authorities
Governor and Representative in Congress, BY a
handsome vote; majorities in both branches of The

Of 90.
Last Wednesday week the new Governor was
installed, with the solemniiy ola military and civic

the proceedings Of the two houses on the two first
days
1.-THE General Assembly OF the State of Flo.

o'clock. The occasion was one Of unusual in

was thronged with spectators. This structure
now presents an imposing appearance, and It's
spolless white within and Without is no unfit en-
blem of the yet unwriuen book Of our political
history, whose pages, perhaps, NAV be deiaced by
as many blots, as its representative is dehled BY
tobacco stains. We hope that both will be kept
as clean as possible.

departed patriots, were, perhaps, the most striking
portion of his admirable address. Every one left
the house, pleased with the successful efforts OF
the youthful orators-and we are much deceived,
if the world will not see them winning an honor
able fame by the proper exercise Of their acknow-
lodged talents.
The salute was then fired on the Capitol Square,
and the companies defled to their different places
Of dining. We hope to lay before our readers
some of the "good things" said around the seve-
raj fesive-boards
II is highly creditable to the good people Of this
city, that order and sobriety marked the whole
events Of this national anniversary. One of the
mos, interesting features Of the 4,h, was the long
procession of little boys and girls, forming a
"Cold Water Army" who marched through The
Streets and were addressed, with his usual enthu-
siasm, by the Rev. E. L. Magoon, at the First
Baptist Church.
