ocean to tc 4,324, $40, or about the same
as the state Of Pennsylvania. which in

FEW readers Of illustrated papers ap-
p;eciate the heavy expense attendant on

Gov. LOWRY, Of Mississippi, in recent
special message to the Legislature states
that the prospects at present for additional
railroads in that state is better than ever
before in its history, and that the several
lines of roads now projected will develop
sections of Mississippi that will in a few
years greatly increase the revenue, and
proportionately tighten the burdens of the
people. The governor very sensibly urges
a::union Of effort in the establishment of
cotton factories simultaneously with the
| building OF railroads.
THE New York delegation in Congress
is making strong effort 10 have the mint
removed to that city. The argument
chiefly relied upon is the argument of su
pcrior economy, but this can have no
great weight as against the proposition
that the mint buildings in Philadelphia
shall be enlarged and extended. Pennsyl-
vania representatives, therefore, ought to
support the demand for extension and op-
pose that for removal. If our congressman
show as much resolution and energy in the
matter as the New Workers show, there is
little probability that this last of the
many attempts to have the mint taken
away from Philadelphia will succeed.
