Young America wakes earnest and enthu-
siastic on this money prospect, and insists that
Congress ought to give General PIERCE just
as much money as he wants! To wit:
.'Our own condition authorizes US to give Mr.
Pierce the credit of many millions as he wants
till the next Congress We can afford to do it,"
Again, on this money question:
Let the money be placed in the hand that may
be forced to clutch the sword in defence of the
country; this will be fatal union Of the two for
private ambition, but the indispensable measure of
public safety. Twill indicate a generous conf

The New Cabinet.


The well-informed correspondent 'X'' Of
the Baltimore Sun thus discourses of the new
Cabinet:
"Ihe Cabinet of General Pierce is go far formed
that it ia certain that all sections and fractions OF
the Democratic party will be represented in it..
General Dix will be the member from New York.
and MIR. Medary the member from Ohio. General
Dix will take the Treasury, Gas have previously
announced, y and Mr., Medary will be the Postmas-
ter General. 5sa8
'The Secretaryship of State, since Senator Hun
ter has declined. will be filled either by Senator
Mason, of Virginia, Mr.. George M. Dallas, of
Pennsylvania, or Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts.
"Mr. Nicholson, OF Tennessee, will not accept

1T is believed that either jeff Davis or James
Thompson, of Mississippi, will be Secretary of
War. Having stated that paper, numerously

written to his friends as follows: Il am unwil-
ling that any thing shall be done by my friends in

We find in the JMississippian card from
Governor FoorE, indicating his right to ap-
point Senator in Congress after the 4th Of
March next, when the term of Mr.. RRooKE
will expire. Governor FoorE assumes the
position that State Executive has the right,
under the Constitution, to make temporary
appointments to the Senate to fill all vacancies
which occur during the recess of the Legisla
ture, and have not been provided for by the
Legislature ITSELF and that it makes no differ
ence whether the vacancies have arisen bv the
regular expiration Of a term Of service or have
been caused by resignation, death, or any un-
foreseen event. The only Limitation is that the
vacancy shall have occurred, in fact, before the
appointment is made. In support Of this view
which, we need hardly say, has been and will
be warmly controverted- Governor FoorE cites
five cases wherein Senators have been admit
ted to take their seats ON Executive appoint
ment, at the commencement of full term, the
Legislature having adjourned without electing.
They are those Of Cooke, of Tennessee. in
1887; Tracy, of Connecticut, 4th Of March,
1901; HlNDmAF, of Maryland, 5th of March,
1901; ANDERSON, of Tennessee; and SAMUEL
SMITH, of Maryland, March 4, 1900.

In his valedlctory message to the Legisla-
ture of Illinois, Governor FRENCH SAYS that
the State debt. with the interest due, amounts
to $l6,724,l77. He s'indulges the expecta
tiono that within five years the State will be
able to meet the entire interest upon the debt
as it becomes due without resort to increased
taxation. On the first of March next the sur
plus in the treasury, over and above all ex-
penses, will be over one hundred thousand dol
lars. This sum will be largely augmented
each year hereafter. in consequence of the
rapid increase in the value of property in the
State. 1t is recommended that the surplus be
applied by special law to the payment of the
interest on the State debt, and that the present
revenue tax be reduced from twenty to ten
cents on the 500.
In 1915 the taxable property Of the State,
real and personal, amounted to $S2,327, Jos;
in l649, $l05,432,752; in 1851, $137 ,Sl8, 679;
the last being an increase of $3l ,2OO, 600, or
thirty per cent. in two years.
Attention is directed to the need Of stringent
laws ''tO protect the people against mass Of
trash under the guise of paper currency
which floods the State now in greater quanti-
ties than at any other period. Applications
have been made for the establishment of thirty
nine banks, with an assumed capital of S.
100000. Seventeen Of this number have de-
posted securities to the nominal amount Of
81 ,t49.lOO, while the remaining twenty two
have deposited no securities at all.
In reference to the Illinois Central Railroad,
Governor FRENCH remarks that "there is no
ground of apprehension that the work sswill
not be prosecuted with vigor and success.n

Governor MCCLELLAND, in his message TO
the Legislature of Michigan, represents the
finances OF the State as in Furnishing condi-
ton, and he anticipates that economy and ju-
dicious government will in few years lqui-
date the public debt, and relieve the people
entirely from State taxation. He recommends
the prosecution of a ship canal around the Falls
of St. Mary, for which Congress made pro-
vision last August; and urges the Legislature
to pursue wise, judicious, and liberal policy
toward the citizens of that section.
The State has not yet been fully reimbursed
for the services of her volunteers in Mexico,
but the Governor thinks the claim of the State
will soon be adjusted. Congress has already
allowed $l9,425, of which $lO,5OO was re-
tanned by the General Government to liquidate
the interest on the bonds Of the State, held in
trust by it; and $8,925 was paid by draft.
There is still balance claimed of soms So, 400.
The construction of railroads is urged upon
the attention of the Legislature, to Keep pace
with the growing necessities and increasing
business of the State. A general banking law
is called for, as 1t has been already authorized
by the constitution, although not yet submitted
to the people. He charges that considerable
illegal banking is doing throughout the State.
and that the bill-holders have to depend en-
tirely on the honesty, probity, and ability of
the officers of these banks.
The Governor says grave question has
been recently started as to the power to amend
existing charters, which he proceeds to exam
Inc. and considers the power questionable.
The State officers are now all chosen by the
people; and the Governor calls upon the people
to make strict and rigid examination into the
affairs of these officials, as they are not subject
to the same close inspection as formerly, when
appointed by the Executive.

PREsrDxNr FlILMoas's LAST M.,..a..
favorable comment In England. "Cl..r .nd 80
did" are the terms applied to his exposition Of ~.
fisheries and the Lobos questions; but Command.
ton II less emphatic when that part of the me.sa
touching the Cuban question is treated Of. The
London Times says:
nation of lawless aggression can be taken as q
pledge OF forbearance, Mr.. Filmorc's observationa
are certainly assuring; but we cannot remar <
without regret that design which points to no
thing less than the territorial spoliaton of for
elgn State in time of peace should be argued ra
ther a. question of expediency than as matter
OF principle. In Mr.. Fitmore's estimate of the
results which would probably ensuc upon the an
nexation OF Cuba to the States of the Union we are
disposed to concur but from such discription of
the case, it naturally follows that those who b.
heve IN the consequences thus predicted may see
no further impeachment to their own conclusions
considering, too, the elaborate statement which
mas recently been issued ascribing the whole po-
slons OF foreign aggression upon Spanish rights it
seems difficult to understand how Mr. Fillmore
could have seen any thing .sunconstitutional, inn
ponnc, or unavailing" in proposal to set these
solemn compact on the part of the supected gov
ernments. France and England offered to ioin
the United States in formal and collective dis
ciaimer of all intentions TO obtain possession of
Cuba. and in virtual guarantee of the island to
Its rightful owners. This proposition the Ameri-.
can Government declined, but in 80 doing it un
doubleday furnished grounds for belief that the
suspicious it has itself proessed to entertain are
less reasonably founded than those which have
been expr essed elsewhere.'
The Times improves the occasion the mes age
affords to remark upon "the gradual but rresist-
BILE tendency of the American Government to those
peculiar measures of policy which have been sup
posed to characterize older and less Democratic
Institutions On the whole, however, the Times
concludes that while the contents of the message
should be satisfactory to the American people, sits
spirit is undoubtedly creditable to the Federal
Government; nor could the most conservative
'tatesman of conservative Europe have spoken
With greater discernment or holiness than Mr..
Fillmore, in assuring his countrymen that not only
the present necessities but the permanent safety
md interest of nation, are best consulted BY
tern sense of international justice' and that any
'propagandism' is more likely to re
