the Governor had to say about
the finances, accustomed as we
have been to derive our informa-
talon upon that important subject
from the annual message of the
Governor of the State. Gov. War
moths message is nearly blank
upon this important matter, due,
as he says, to the absence OF re-
ports from the Auditor and Treas
urer who do not report until the
close of the fiscal year, which falls
upon the 31st of December. This
want of harmony in dates should
be corrected at once. The Gov
crnor says, however, that the f.
nancial condition of the State is
such as to embarrass his admins
tration. He attributes this en-
barrassment to two causes: LIST,
tothe legislation of the State and
end, to the mal-administration OF
tue Auditor, whose official acts
he strongly condemns, not only III
his annual message, but also in
special message wherein he pro

The public generally will be
;adly disappointed to hear that
,ba water is too high in the Ma
,on and Tensas swamps to admit Il
Of the completion Of the Railroad
BRIDGES over those streams before
next summer. We confess we
feel annoyed at the indifferent
progress made in the reconstruct
tion of this road. We are not in
the Company's secrets, and there
fore express no positive opinion
but it does appear to us that even
an ordinary degree OF foresight
and energy might have re-estaD-
lished railway communication
between Monroe and Vicksburg
long before this. The operations
of the Company have appeared
to us all along as incommensurate
with the great interests at stake.
Nearly four years time and prob
ably three hundred thousand dol
liars have been frittered away in
repairs on road IS miles IN
length, which was before the war
in good running order, and yet
the work is not complete. Mean
while, roads in other sections OF
the country have been projected
l surveyed and are fastening TO-
> ward completion.
The great mistake made by the
North Louisiana and Texas Com
T. panv was in not obtaining the
L services, at the outset, of some
< experienced railroad man to act
y as President and requiring him TIC

J oies to the business Of the road

Gov. Warmoth's Annual Message.

Gov. Warmoth's Annual Message.
We have carefully perused the
annual message of Gov. Warmoth' |
and, without being able to COM
mend it for any conspicuous dis
play of craftsmanship, we are
free to say it contains nothing
Objectionable. Its pos
tive merits, or attractions, are
few. whether it be regarded as a
literary production, or as the ON
cial exposition of Executive views
and wishes. Its negative value
considered as an emanation from
a Radical partisan who was ele-
waited to high office contrary to
the wishes of the intelligence and
virtue of the State, may be set
down at much higher figures than
the people generally, from mere
conjecture, would have fixed.
The opening portion OF the
message we are inclined to re-
gard as the most significant, being
the portion that refers to pollti-
ical subjects and to which we
must look for indications OF the
Governors future course toward
the people of the State. In MIN
have been reposed the powers OF
one branch of the State govern
ment, powers pregnant with good
or evil for the State. The same
law of destiny which thus raised
him above the common level,
compels us to regard him as the
Chief Executive of the State, and
places our interests in his keeping.
His declarations as Governor are,
therefore, matter of concern to us
all. In this light we have read
and now speak of his message.
It is with pleasure we observe
an absence of all partisan bitter
ness from the Governors message
Tt is free from Radical cant ane
does the people Justice. He re
eogEzes 'sthe good feeling tina
exists among the people Of boil
races with, a frankness and can
dor, which, considering the pei
sistent attempts of his part
friends to prove does not exist, con
pels us to say he has an indepene
enceo of spirit we had not expected
In another place, he speaks unr<
servedly of athe genial and no.
pitable character of our peopl
as an inducement to secure imm
grafton into the State; and nowhe7
is the message soiled by {
expression rejecting upon tt
GOOD character, morals and peac
able disposition of the people
the State. When a Radical Go
ernor, of the imported class, G.
thus divest himself Of prejudic
and partisan bias, we are rea
to own our surprise, whatev
may be his designs, and to &C
graduate him upon the victo
he has achieved. Taking the
declarations Of Gov. Warmoth
their face value, we shall exp
to see His Excellency conden
ing openly the scheme to org'
ize an uniformed militia in
State and other schemes OF sll
lar character, all of which la
for their object the disturbance
the public tranquility and
wasteful expenditure of the p
lie money.
We felt anxious to see W
the Governor had to say alb
the finances, accustomed as
have been to derive our lnforl
talon upon that important subj
from the annual message of
Governor of the State. Gov. w
moths message is nearly a bl;

A LECTURE SPOILED, AND 4 FINE TEAM LOST
EARLY on last Saturday morning. we were
standing on the street, crpatiating to friend
on the peculiarit.es- OF our Kansas climate.
We referred him to the fact that the streets
were then quite dusty, while at the same time
teams we're crossing the river on the ice, and
pointed out to him team drawing a wagon
heavily laden. which had left the opposite
shore, and had made about one third of the
distance across the river. While we we're
thus pointingsthe team. wagon, driver and all,
suddenly disappeared below the surface. We
could occasionally see the. head of strug
Cling horse, then all was slilf Even the dri
yer was nowhere to be seen, and we began to
fear that he had also go ne under. Finally he
csrns crawling out On the ice. bu; his team and
w,gon, vaiuea at about-6ye hundred dollars,
were gone. Even the oak fence posts with
which the wngon was loaded. went to the bot
tom and remained there The current was
very s~ift. sndthe water was fifteen or twenty
feet deep, There had been no freezing for
some Gays, and the swift current had worn the
Ice very thin from the under side, so that the
crossing bad been considered dangerous for
teams, for several days. The unlucky 10 ,er
was Mt W. H. NeWlipg, of this vicinity, and
he thus suddenly got rid Of one Of the best
teams in this country.
