,.Some of the country papers,
with what authority or expec-
tation Of pay we cannot imag
inc, are still publishing the
laws Of the State as if "by
authority In looking over
alate number Of the st. John
Pioneer, we see one Of these
laws incorporating a "Work-
ingmen's Bank" at New Or
leans. The Bank was incorpo-
rated under the general laws
Of the State by an act before q
notary public. This was con-
atitntional, legal and sufficient
for al reasonable business
purposes. But it was not
enough for theia incorporators-
In order TO give their Bank a
pretty ~iextensive advertise
1fent, without regard to how
much it cost the State, they
took their charter, already
perfectly legal in form and
effect, to the Legislature, and
p'fbcured an act recognizing
ana approving the notarial
actl This is not the first case
Of the kind, but it serves ad-
mirably our present purpose
which is to show how reckless
" the public money is squan-
dessd for private purposes.
ThAact to which we allude
occupies nearly eleven col
Nmps in. the Pioneer, and
makes; we should judge, about
three hundred and fifteen
sauaresl This act cost much
time, stationary and printing
to pass through the Legisla-
. ture, and after passing the two
houses took some Of the time
ofkhe Governor in examining
the bill before approving it

the date Of PRONUNCIATION, was
