We publish this week the law squashing all tippling houses, and in doing so we give our full approbation to the law and think it will do more for moralizing the state of Mississippi, than any other law that has ever been passed in this state.-- It puts at once a quietus on all tippling and it well deserves the fostering hand of the community--that is, if any one should think fit to keep up a tippling house, for the people, the whole people-to put the law in force in every case. If we have a law of the kind, let it be enforced without discrimination.
Our readers will find on the first and fourth pages the list of acts, passed by our Legislature at its late session, and also we give you in to-day's paper the Governor's veto message on the Union Bank Post Note Bill.-Further we have nothing to say.
We have no news from Congress, only that it adjourns this day, sine die.
