The STATE FuNDs.-For wonder, this great and
glorious, free and prosperous, aggregation of paro
ehlal communities, composing what is known and
designated on the maps and in the Biographies the
State OF Louisiana, has some money in her Treasury,
instead of being compelled as usual to call upon the
banks for loans, discounts and renewals ETC. Conse
quenty, the noodles of our wise legislators are
wouiy exercised about its place of deposit, about its
having interest, and about the Partially, enormity
and downright fayoritism of having it all deposited
in one Institution.
III the House of Representatives, Mr. Wright, of
this city, has introduced resolution for the appoint
ment of joint committee to inquire into matters
touching the deposit of State funds, ETC., which
amounts, if we correctly informed, to an offer to
loan the States money to the highest bank bidder so
that an income may be derived therefrom
NOW, We have q proposition worth two of this,
ana more sensible. 1t is: If the State has any money
70 spare nseadof loanins it at small interest, let
IL DC invested IN the purchase of State bonds which
pear higher interest than the banks can afford to
pay, ana winch can be purchased at from twelve to
hiteen per cent. discount. Here would be large
saving in principal and full saving in interest And
by TINS means another material advantage would be
obtained the fact that the State of Louisiana was in
the market paying up her own bonds out of her sur
plus revenue would cause her credit TO appreciate to
the highest point, and give her the proudest Mace in
the financial circles of the world
For these reasons we are against Mr.. Wrpbt-s
movement in toto. We see no necessity for any
change other than the one we have mentioned. Be-
sides, we have little faith that there will be an enor
nous surplus in the Treasury by the time the day of
adjournment arrives. If this Legislature does mt
pump the well pretty dry before it operations
then We are no judge of the value of eoonskins or
the texture of conseences

Camille gave the very highest satisfaction The other
characters IL ne play were hardly as well sustained
q when Mizs Heron played Camille, n owing to the
cast being changed. Thayer and Davis were by no
means as good in De parrilie and armand as they
were in Armand and Ds Tarpile, and the other
characters were not improved by the change The
excellence Of Mis- Davenports acting, however, as
compared with thatof her predecessors in the same
character and the difference in the play as she rem

GOVERNORS MANsIoN.-The Monroe (Ouachita)
Union favors a legislative appropriation to build
house for Executives of the State. 1t says:
Appropriations should be made to build Govern
ors Mansion. The idea Of the Governor boarding out
in private families is unbeceming the State of LOU
siana. He is the executive head of a great State,
and should be placed in corresponding position to
keep up the dignity Of q great people without the
contribution Of his private purse.
Allvery true. The duty of the Legislature in the
premises is plain and imperative.
The Richmond Madison parish) Journal has the
following on the same subject:
It is to be hoped the Legislature will at this session.
provide Mansion for the Executive at Baton Rouge
The people will very wllinglyprovde suitable resi-
dence for their Chief Magistrate and it is no fault o..
theirs that it has not been done before.
Certainly. And the people have never been in
favor of starvation salaries, and would never have
consented to the present reduction but for the wles
of artful and aspiring politicians.
And the taxpayers, we are fully persuaded, are in
favor Of an increase of the salaries OF District Judges
by at least fifty per cent. But whether any increase
will be authorized by the Legislature now in session,
we regard as exceedingly problematical.
