OnapteI ~ OF the toneral Statutes,
places upon board. composed OF the
Governor, Comptroller General and
the Treasurer. the duty of selecting
such banks for the deposit of State
funds as the board, or any two of
them, may judge. first, to be secure.
and. second, shall pay the highest rate
of interest. The Act now before me
designates two banks, without qualifl.
cation or requirement regarding their
:::esJ. good management or business
standing, and requires all State funds
to be deposited in these two banks.
The contrast between tho two sys.
TENS is too broad to escape attention
or required designation. In the former
system, the three highest officers OF
the State. aoting upon thsir official re.
sponnbiiity. and two of them under
very heavy b0nds for the faithful dis.
charge OF their duties, are required to
select. from time to time. such banks Of
deposit for State funds "a they shall
deem secure. Opportunity is here af.
iorded Tor the exercise Of reasonable
discretion in the selection OF the banks
Of deposit and the keeping 10 view Of
the strength and character. OF the
banks selected. Under the Aot before

with pen and pencil the salient phases
OF life in the Sunny South
zone of the most interesting fen.
lures OF the work OF collecting the ma.
terial for The Great South has been
the cordial cooperation offered the
publishers and their representatives,
by Southern gentlemen Of literary and
political reputation. Letters have
been received from all parts OF the
Southern States, communicating facts
and views which no Northern observer
or writer could readily obtain by his
unaided effort. These voluntary con.
tribntions have been Of great service.
especially as the Libraries and CON.
mercial organizations Of the section
were largely destroyed or broken ,up
by the rude march OF the war. The
best commercial authorities in all the
Southern centres OF trade have been
consulted, and have generously given
all the facts ct their disposition. II 10

more heroism.
NO such concession is made in regard
to the salvage Of cotton o. sugar. The
agency of the colored man and the mule
are alike ignored. The Picayune ascom-
panies this eulogy of the planters and the
showers With an article on the ability of
the white man to cultivate the earth. We
DO not doubt the fact but e'deny any
inference that the white man does cult
vate the earth 10 the same extent with the
negro. 1t would be a great error if the
people OF the Southern States should come
to undervalue the capacity of the cclored
race to perform the. services which coatri-
butte SO much 20 the prosperity Of the
South.
Would it not be better and more mag
unanimous to abandon this concealment?
Let the extent to which the colored people
contribute to the productive resources of
the South be made known. They not
only produce far the greater part Of the
cotton, sugar and rice in the State, but
they render services as domestic helps
which are almost beyond estimation. /
Come out, gentlemen, and let the world |
know who makes these crops. Give these |
anonymous laborers the premium and

states 1t would seem to us that the
surplus of labor, and the deficiency of mar
ket now in the country, will account for low
wages So far as Immigrants may seek
this country for food or freedom, we shall
expect costinued immigration; but when
population, having flowed from one coun-
try INTO another, has established an
equilibrium of prices and values and
wages in the two countries, we may ex-
pect people to prefer their own native
country to immigrating to or remaining
in another country where they can do no
better than at home.
1t seems to US, therefore, that this finan-
cial empiric attributes too much eonse-
quence to this alleged distribution of the
circulation, and that American statesmen
should strive rather to relieve this plethora
and congestion Of labor and capital by
finding new industries and new markets.
A foreign commerce or domestic demand
for The products Of our capital or indus
try, would soon enable US to import
specie or to stop its drain. 1t would then
be practicable to adopt any policy Of ex-
pansion or restriction deemed necessary;
'ut with the prices Of pxoduce low, and
