We transfer the following notice to our
columns from the Picayune. It is noth
ing more or less than a merited compli
ment to a most valuable citizen and esti
mable man. While in New Orleans, we
I were often iu the house of Converse & Co.,
who may be emphatically termed the
t “Pioneers” of the New Orleans and At-:
I lanta trade. Their store is most
conspicuously situated, and what is better
it is filled with a very large stock of!
Groceries. This house sells an enormous 1
. a moot of goods to our State, and the rea
son is obious, they advertise liberally and
;iu the Examiner. Let others adopt their

Complimentary Correspondence.— i
We publish elsewhere a correspondence I
between Messrs. Grayson and others, offi

laud Wm. P. Converse, Esq., the first

and regard- It is alike creditable to both
parties to this well conceived, gracefully
offered, and handsomely acknowledged
* compliment.
To Mr. Converse the public is indeb
ted, in an eminent degree, for the suc

banking system in this city, and for the
valuable services he has rendered towards
the accomplishment of the object, to J
which he has devoted bo much of his time,

FROM WASHINGTON.'
} [Special correspondence of the Daily Examiner.] 1
Washington, Jan. 4.
j L **■’ ■ ’ 1 ■ - j
Your readers will pardon any want of
punctuality the date* of my letters, during
the holiday’s may betray. Family reun-•
ions, friendly felicitations and Christian •'
sentiment have exclusively, (and from a ,
time so far back that “the memory of man .
runneth not to the contrary* 3 ) appropri-.'
atod this period to the neglect of all other
business engagements’. However, as we
are now well started upon ’55, and all of<
us have our respective duties to recall our
energies from pleasure to business, we i
shall first briefly glance at the political
phase which the National Metropolis exhi
: bits during th-' early portion of the first
week
We learn from that veritable and ver-!
acious sheet the New York Herald, (and '.
bad the past not been published iu that, •
print, no sane person in Washington
' would have bestowed a thought upon it)
j that the administration has an overwheim-
I ing majority in Congress. That paper
whines over the fact that already one
third of the present session lias passed,
aud Congress has not yet impeached ;
Franklin Pieroe, nor demolished his Cabi-:
uet. It growls at Governor Marcy be-
I cause, in the teeth of that Scotch Alien
organ of sedition and falsehood, our for
eign relations are. at this moment, placed 1
upon a more satisfactory and well-defined •
basis than they have occupied during the
past quarter of a Ct nturv. The same
sheet, further evinces its deep hatred of
the administration by an effort, to get up j
an enroute between the friends of our dis
tinguished Minister at the Court ofSt :
Jaint-s, and the numbers of the Presidents!
I Cabinet. All of the lormer whose senti
ments, on the Bennett advocacy of Mr..
Buchanan, I have had an opportunity' of 1
j ascertaining, regard the rccenr articles of!
! the Herald, on thatsubject, as a most un- .
mitigated libel upou the character of that
Statesman. Bennett hataa Mr. Buchan-!
an as cordially ns be dues Gov. Marcy,
but he hopes to excite palousies which can
never exist, or to force Cui. Forney into
■ some public notice of bis fatal advocacy
lof Mr. Buchanan's chances for the next
1 Presidency. All this gammon is perfectly
* understood nt Washington, and only add
to tee thorough disgust in which the Sa- (
| tunic organ is held by all resspeetable
' mon.
The different levies were well attended
on New Year’s day. Os course, the Ex- ’
ecutive Mansion was the chief point of ,
attraction ; but the private residences of
Governor Marcy, Judge Campl ell, Caleb
Cushing, and of the other members of the ,
{ Cabinet were th rouged during the day
I hive never known such an occasion to
pass off with more general satisfaction and
, national eclat.
I 1 regret to have occasion to advert to I
the New York Herald again; but it is im
possible to correct the many wounderful
and ingenious conceits, with which distant
1 papers are teeming, of late, wflhout aui

BEGGARS.
The streets of this city are much infes
ted by beggars of the worst class, not
those who are really objects of charity—
such as the lame, halt, and blind—but pro
fessional beggars, who practice various in
genious devices to excite a faulse commis
eration. Many of them feign sickness or
utter abandonment and destitution, with
the art of the most accomplished actors—
others, bear robust infant about with them
no doubt hired for the occasion. All of
them—save an affected expression of dis-
I tress —appear to be really in a comforta
ble condition. Their trade, too, is quite
a profitable one—much more so than the
ordinary avocations of laborers.
A few days ago, a citizen being solic
ited by a stout, heavy girl for a dime, to
“ buy bread for her mudder,” proposed to
her that if she would come to his house
• and nurse his child, he would give her
! five dollars a month. The sensible little
beggar contemptuously refused the invi
tation.
Thus it is that mendicancy is made more
i profitable than honest labor. This is
against the law. as well as against sound
policy. The police regulations of this city
forbid street-begging, and it is the duty of
the police to arrest prrties so engaged,
and commit them to the workhouse. Nay
; more, there is a law, which, like many
others of our police regulations, is but lit
tle regarded, requiring the captains and
, owneis of ships who bring beggars here,
to provide for their support, and prevent
their being a burden to the city. In the
, face of this law, the same regular old cus
tomary beggars are brought here every
year, and proceed regularly to station them
selves al certain localities, and levy con
tributions on passers-by, which, in the
aggregate, make quite respectable sums.—
! With these accumulations these mendi
cants return to the North every summer,
in order to escape the fever and ennui of
our dull season Now, the captains of ves
sels and steamboats who bring these beg
gars to our city are liable, under the law,
for their support or their removal from the
city. This obligation ought to be enforced.
It is an injustice to our laboring poor that
these street beggars should thus be able
to exact an amount which would, if be
stowed on the industrious, afford groat re
lief to a worthy and useful class. We
hope to see the law enforced. Wc would
invite particularly the attention of the po
lice to the gangs of these beggars that in
fest the entrance of the St. Charles Hotel,
and who hang about the doors of the stores
on Chartres street.
There are others, who doubtless arc ob- j
jects of charity, who are not proper ob
jects to be exhibited in our streets—such
as the deformed, the sightless and tho in
! valid—who are permitted to occupy cer
i tain localities and parade their misery, in
order to excite pity. There is one of these
a man whoso eyes were blown out by an ;
explosion, who stations himself at the cor-'
ner of St, Charles and Canal streets, and
by the revolting exhibition of his misfor
tune, excites no less disgust than pity.—
That man ought to be cared for by the au- .
thorities, and removed from the locality I
which he has appropriated. Our citizens
ought to be allowed to walk the streets 1
withotrt having to endure these and other
. annoyances, which the law and public pol-'
. icy forbid.—AT O. Delta
"WHO WILL BERTHESiIEXT GOVERNORT’
This question has thus early been start |
ed by some of the presses of this State,
■ but for what special purpose we hardly
know. In noticing the matter, the Atlan-
I ta Examiner, of the 29th, says “ the La-
■ Grange Reporter and the Southern Recor
der, seem to be troubled with reference to
; a solution of the question.” Notwitb
. standing the feigned anxiety of the Whigs i
and their allies, wc think the people—the I
I democracy of the State of Georgia—will
i have no trouble whatever in finding some
one to continue to fill the office accepta
bly The present incumbent having dis
charged his duties in a manner reflecting
honor upon the State, and being a well
tried and faithful Democrat, there is no;
special reason, it seems to us, for any one
to feel alarmed lest the office shall be left
vacant. Governor Johnson has always
been a man of the people, and has never
failed to cheerfully respond to their call
for his,services; and, what is more, always
. held himself responsible to the people for
bis acts. Being thoroughly imbued with
the principles, and well schooled in the j
practices, of good old fashioned deinocra-;
cy, untrammelled and untainted by false !
lor side issues, or any of the isms of the
day that too many are now grasping after,
he has proved himself a reliable party
standard bearer, and fully alive to the
honor, welfare aud glory of the Common
-1 wealth and its people The State nor the
Democratic party arc wanting in such
men, and so long as they have them no one
need fear for some suitable person to fill
the chair of Sfete.— Savannah Georgian.

THE NEW-YORK TIMES AND JOHN MITCHEL.
John Mitchel has written a letter to the
editor of the New-York Times in which he
says:
“ I cannot suffer that my last words ad
dressed to the readers of the Citizen should
be so violently misrepresented to your
readers as I find them to be in an editorial
paragraph of this morning’s Times.
“1 did not ‘confess grievous disappoint
ment,’ or any disappointment at all, in the
temper of the American People.
“ I did not find them ‘less disposed than
I had imagined to encourage the free ex
pression of opinion.’
“The direct contrary is the truth.
“ I have found the temper of the Amer
ican People, on the whole, tolerant, just
and liberal. I have found them disposed,
perhaps even in an excessive degree, to
encourage the free expression of opinion.”
In a farewell address to the leaders of
the Citizen, Mr. Mitchel gives as the
cause of his retiring, the failure of his eye
sight alone.
The New York Post of Saturday
evening says—“TWtereek closes upon an
improved money u|Hret. There is a de
cided relaxation extreme stringen
cy which has prevailed for so long a peri
od. Money rates have a downward ten
dency ; and though the quotations for the
day are the same as before, namely, 12 a
18 per cent, for good mercantile accep
tances.
Thl debt of Pennsylvania.—A Har
risburg correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce writes:
“The public debt of the Union and
States is always a theme which comniaudu
attention Official sources exhibit to us
the magnitude of ours, and the means at
band to wipe it out The debt was put
down on the first of December, 1853, at
$49,378,271 09-100, and the property of
the Commonwealth productive at $34,
166,650 76-100. The total debt same
date, 1854,840,064,516 69-100, and the
property at 835,060,667 50-100, exhibit
ing a flattering comparison in amounts
favorable to the community who are called
up in to bear it ’’
Araison, the young man, who was
tried and convicted in Cincinnati of caus
ing the death of Mr. and Mrs. Allison, by
means of an “infernal machine,” was a
few days ago sentenced to be hangod on
the 11th of May. If be be guilty, he de
serves his fate.
A Tennessee paper says Bishop
Soule of the .Methodist persuasion and now
in the 74th year of his age, lately declared,
at a religious meeting, that he was yet to
learn how whiskey tasted! He was never
a member of any Temperance organiza
tion.
ftgr’Some idea of the rapid strides that
oung America” is making may be
gathered from the fact that just fourteen
years ago but a single house, and that a
log cabin, stood upon what is now the site
of St. Paul, Minesota, a city that sup
ports four daily newspapers,* and where
upwards of forty-three thousand passengers
have been landed within a year.
D* H Ra *d that thirty thousand res
ignations and expulsions took place among
the Pennsylvania Know-Nothings within
a few weeks, and that four thousand in the
city of Philadelphia alone withdrew.
Music and Turtle Soup.—“Ah, you
don’t know what muthical enthuthiathm
ith I” said a music mad Miss to Tom Hood.
“Excuse me, Madam 4 ” replied the wit,
“but I do; musical enthusiasm is like tur
tle soup ; for every quart of real there are
ninety-nine gallons of mock and calves’
head in pioportion.”
Littlefield, the janitor, whose name
was rendered notorious a few years ago, in
consequence of his being the chief witness
against Prof. Webster, who murdered Dr.
Parkman in Boston, has become insane.
Os 13,532 votes recently given in
the city of Mexico, only seven were against
Santa Anna’s continuance in power. The
seven, it is said, were sent to prison.
The New York underwriters lately
paid four hundred and forty thousand dol
lars, on five missing ships.
