The Reform demonstration at Hyde Park,

The Indebtedness of the State*.
The New York Timtt tints Bums up a long ar
ticle from the Financial OhrorUUc on this unto
ject
As to the Stato debts, tho Financial Chronicle
Of this city has taken pains to construct, from
reports of locnl officials, n.comparative statement
of tho amounts owing, respectively, in 1800 and
1800. Tho comparison embraces thirty-two
States, whose aggregate indebtedness bIiows an
Increase ol *00,304,881. In 1800 tiiey owed
*255,840,709; ft 1860 *853,154,500. The debt
ol tho State ot New York has grown from *84,-
182,075 to *51,753,082 Massachusetts presents
, , up:
a larger proportionate increase, having advanced
Co
from *7,175,078 to *25,555,747. Connecticut,
whiclt in 1800 owed a modest *50,000, now
taggers under *10,000|000; NeW Hampshire
vhicb six years ago thought *82,148 debt enough,
years ago tnougnt $w'd,i48 tteblcnougl
iisw submits patiently to *4,100,818; Rhode li
land and Vermont, whiclt formerly did not owo
a dollar, now have liabilities, respectively, of
*3,036,500 nnd *1,507,500.
In the West, Wisconsin has arisen from *100,-
000 to *2,289 101; Iowa frejm *822,200 to *623,-
200; Missouri from *33,028,000 to *37,145,028.
Of tho Border States, Tennessee is the most
heavily ewwinbered, its debt having swelled from
*16,043,606 to *25,277,347. The war debts of
the Southern Stales were wiped out with the
cause they espoused, and their increase ol debt
is, therefore, with one or two 'exceptions, for the
most part confined to the accumulation of over
due intoreat,. Tho debt of Alabama has risen
from *5,048,000 to *0,304,972; that of Florida
from *383,000 to *038,863; that of Louisiana
from *10,023,003 to *13,857,090 j that of North
Carolina from *9,120,505 to *11,433,000; that of
Virginia from *33,248,141 to *45,119,741; while
the debt ot Arkansas has grown but nominally,
and Texas, which was wolu to print a simple mV,
now confesses to *2,330,300.
Some ot tho States are enabled to boast of
diminished indebtedness. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Pennsylvania belong to this category. The
explanation Is, that in these instances the war
expenditures were met principally by the muni
cipalities, of. whose indebtedness we have no
account. That these debts are largo may bo in
ferred from the .honorable part which theso States
played in the conduct ot tho war,'and the lavish
expenditures with which their names are asso
ciated. Even in States whose indebtedness bus
"* * '
Increased, formidable liabilities have been sepa
rately incurred by their cities and towns. Thus,
while the Stale ot Now York lias enlarged its
debt to the extent of *17,570,107, the city of
New York lias also added ten millions to its
debt, and other municipalities in the Suite have
iii
experienced corresponding additions.
Registration of Colored Voter* In New
Orleans,
The New Orleans correspondent of the Louis
ville Courier gets oft the following :
The registering of voters under the military
bill is progressing rapidly, tho negroes registering
in great numbers, and far exceeding the whiles.
The scene of registering is rich and tunny. Two
ranks are formed outside of the Register’s office,
principally of darkies of every grade, interspers
ed litre aud there by n few white men. The
following is tho process ot making voters, or
cornering the franchise on the colored citizens of
African descent.

“Ilia Head la Lovol.”
While passing a stable yard yesterday, ia tbo

tracted, for a Ibw moments, to two old colored
men who were trying to hitch a mule to a Utile
le mule was very obstreperous—be

,u li
luiu Ilia dander up about something, and be put
lit a serious protest against the whole proceed

Ho reared and pitched, and threw his hind
fret about .remarkably active, damaging the
wagon nnd several times threatening to knock
olf the head ol one of the darkies, who was
lumiumg away at his mulcship with a long
hoop' pole. The two negroes labored hard, but
without avail. The animal bud not’bcen worked
Air some time, ami lie felt bis oats, and was not
to be trilled with. After three or four inellectu-
iii attempts wore made to get the mule between
tiie shafts, tho colored gentleman witli a hoop
pole Imd Ills passion aroused, nnd commenced
larruping tiie animal in good earnest. Tiie 1
mule accepted the issue marie, upset the colored
gentleman who was tickling him with the hoop,
aud taking French leave, If

down the street in great glee over what be lmtl

Tiie old darkey who got knocked down, with
