HIGH TESTIMONY IN BInALF OF THE
SouTH.-The Richmond Wing quotes the
following passage from Lieut.. Gov. Cowper's
speech of thanks in response to compli-
mentary resolutions passed by the Virginia
Senate:
And believe solemnly that, of all the cit
iSrns of the United States, the people of the
Southern States are decidedly the most
thoroughly loyal to that constitution. And
these are the sentiments Of the Chief Magis-
trate Of the nation--nay, know it--and
they are the senlimedts Of the best part of
his Cabinet, who are now, to-day, standing,
supporting and encouraging the Executive in
she position he has taken.

And sixth, the junior Adams leads.
Then seventh, Andrew jackson came;

Georgia.

We have received the Message of Governor
JENKINS to the Legislature Of Georgia on the
occasion of its recent meeting. 1t is very
sensible document. 1t exhibits the State
Of Georgia making rs sincere and unaf-
fected an effort at reconstruction as could pos
sibly be expected from any Southern State.
The Governor opens his commu nication with
Il very we'll reasoned defe of President
JoHysoS's theory of the condition of the
Southern States, viz: that they never were
out of the Union, secession having been
illegal and having proved failure.
The Governor acknowledges the obligation
resting upon the State TO protect that class OF
he community lately in slavery, and TO aid
by all Just means, its advance in civilization !;
and he contends that, whilst insisting upon
occupying, in relation TO that class of persons,
the position of the governing class, this obi
cation should be faithfully discharged. He
recommends 10 the consideration Of the Legis-
Iature report of n commission appointed by
The late provisional government TO prepare Il
code of laws suited to the blacks in their new
condition.
On the subject of the penitentiary, finances,
education, etc, the recommendations OF Inc
message are generally wise.
The Financial condition OF the State Is
excellent The entire debt of Georgia, lnclu-
ding temporary loans to put the Government
in operation, falls short of three millions live
hundred thousand dollars. The Governor
thinks q loan of two million five hundred
thousand dollars sufficient 10 repair all
"reparable damages and meet present neces-
sites. This would make the State debt SIX
millions of dollars and eight hundred thou
sand dollars per annum would meet the interest
md current expenses of the Government.
This, compared with the debts of the other
States, would indicate that Georgia is as ''easy
as an old shoe
The Governors remarks on the Usury Law
we have noticed elsewhere. His message, in
short, looks very much like that of the chief
official paper of a reconstructed State.

The Mexican Question.


The doy. for the assembling of the french
Senate and Corps Legislatif was the ia
instant. Great interest is felt TO know what the
Emperor NAPOLEON has had to say on that
occasion to his Legislative Chambers upon the
Mexican subject In about ten days we snail
be able to crafty our curiosity. The French
opposition has decided to direct their Efforts
chiefly to the Mexican ques ton" It's believed
that the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the
United States House of Representatives Will
withhold any report or recommendation In
reference TO the Mexican controversy until they
shall have learned what the Emperor has had
to say to his Legislative Chambers.
Public opinion in France is clearly adverse
to the continued French occupation of Mexico,
and, whatever the form of government III
Europe, there are few rulers who do not consult
public opinion, and fewer still who persist III
openly opposing its requirements. LOUIS
NAPOLEON is not the man to set himself against
the will of the French people. de knows
when to retire peacefully, and when to advance
boldly. In the mean time, we perceive thar
the unfortunate gentleman, MANIMILIAN, is
being sharply berated by some of the French
journals for his incapacity and ingratltude 10
France His conduct, indeed, is said 10 excite
much "indignation." What his conduct or
misconduct is we do not know, but take it for
granted that he is 10 be the scapegoat TO bear
off the Emperor's transgressions. Uneasy sits
the head that wears (NleXican) crown.

Governor JENKINS considers, however 'h''
Il il hest in making notifications OF ola GUS
ION. and laws, to do so cautiously lie thcle-
fore advises that seven per cent DC maze tic
legal interest, where no rate Is agreed upon ;
ond that any rate of interest not exceeding Ten
ner cent may be established by, ana collected
under. a contract for the payment OF money.
The Governor considers that this advance VIII
be sufficient to test practically the proposed
change, and that ii will be easy TO recede or
10 advance further, as experience may dictate.
The ten per cent. limitation is concession
Of the Governor to the prejudices Of the day
We doubt not that, pursuing his own argu-
ment to its logical deductions, he would prefer
hat there should be no limit to the rate OF
interest under contract. We believe it would
be best to leave the rate, under contract, unre-
stricted The danger is that the limit will be
set up as the regular interest, whereas, II iet'
20 be governed entirely by the only true and
lust law of supply and demand, interest would
he seldom above ten per cent, and would be
generally much below it. In the case OF the
interest of the Bank of England we have
known it to be ut three and three and a hall
per cent. while it rises occasionally to ten pei
cent 1t is now eight per cent. 1t would be
infinitely the wisest policy to leave the lending
Of money just where the selling OF land, or
horses, or -four is-to be sold at whatever the
parties concerned agree upon as the price.
