M. W. STEWART, City Treasurer.
From the above lucid statements from the Treasury office, it appears that there rn-
tnainB a balance on hand of $7049 89 ctB Both the receipts and disbursements of the
last financial year ending 10th inst. are greater than they will bo in future years. This
arises from the collection during that period, of taxes and ground rents, due for previ
ous years and from the payment tvithin the same lime of debts due by the city previous
ly. It is also probable that the receipts of the present year will somewhat exceed those
of future years from the amount of debts due and supposed to be collectable as per esti
mate of the city Treasurer. .
The last was the seventh year since the assessment of 25 per cent , upon taxes for the
purpose of paying off the Dry Culture loan. I om happy in being enabled to remark,
that from the surplus now in the Treasury, it will bo seen that more than tho amount of
that assessment remains from tho expenditures of the last year to be applied to the re
duction of the funded debt. That debt amounts as follows :
1st. Exchange Stock $13,200 at 8 per cent, interest, which became duo in 1822.
2nd. Dry Culture Stock $38,800 at 6 per cent, interest, payable semi-annually and
redeemable in 1828.
3rd. Poor House and Hospital Stock 7000 dolls, at 6 per cent, interest semi-annually
payable at pleasure of Council by July 1835.
4th. Stock issued to the Charleston Insurance Co. 20,000 dolls, at 7 per cent, interest,
payable in 1826.
5th. Accommodation notes to State and Planters' Bank 9,700 dollars, at 6 per cent,
interest.
6th. To Peter Sliick 3,800 dolls, at 8 per cent, iuterost, now due. Making an aggre
gate of 92,500 dolls, of which—
1st. 26,700 dolls, is now due and redeemable.
2d. 40,000 dolls, is due and redeemable in 1826.
3d. 30.800 dolls, is due and redeemable in 1828.
4th. 7,000 dolls, due and redeemable at the pleasure of Council in ten years.
From which aggregate of public debt may bo deducted the balance remaining in the
Treasury from the expenditures of the last year, say 7049 89 cents leaving a balance of
85.470 11 ots. of public funded debt.
It is believed that whilst nothing can occur to lesson the amount of annual revenue by
taxation to the city, there is a fair expectation of a gradual and regular increase from
the present sources of taxation at no remote period, to arise from the increase in value
of private property, upon which, an ad valorum duty is assessed. Such increase of rev
enue will enlarge the means for the extinguishment of the city debt, which if the present
policy is pursued may be confidently calculated upon in less than ten years.
Allot' which is respectfully submitted by your fellow citizen,
W. C. DANIELL, Mayor.
The Charleston Mercury referring to the
abuse which has been levelled at Georgia,
by some of the prints of other States, re
marks i—
All this may be “ right merry and con
ceited nor do wc feel disposed to inter
rupt the amusement which our northern
friends may derive from the peculiar situa
tion, tho numerical inferiority, the anticipa
ted obedience, or the excitements and ap
prehensions of the South. But we can tell
them, that as far as Georgia is concerned,
the shafts of thoir irony nave fallen harm
less to the ground. The people of that
Stato, bo far from rogarding their Governor
as a madman or fool, decidedly approve his
conduct, and will unquestionably re-elect
him to his present Btation. We can tell
I hem also, that, however, out of Georgia,
the vehemence and intemperance of the
Governor’s language may bo censured, there
is no doubt that upon the great general
principle of tho unconstitutionality of any
interference on the part of the general go
vernment with the rights and properties of
the States, there is the most perfect harmo
ny and union among all the people of
the South. This indeed, is the only true
point of view in which the matter should
be regarded. The language of Georgia,
however improperly conveyed, is still the
language of a sovereign state, and as such,
is entitled to the respectful '■onsideration of
thn others. It expresses also the universal
s- n imont ofall the Southern States, * ther
eby shows the dangerous ground upon which
Hie general government has ventured. The
only true question, therefore for the other
members of the confederacy to consider is,
not whether Gov. Troup is a madman, or
the people of Georgia factioue: hut, whe
ther there baa nofbeen something wrong in
the proceedings of the general government,
and justly calculated to excite suspicion and
apprehension ill the South ? And, conse
quently, no#that the Southern States have
taken a firmer and decided stand, and are
resolved to permit no further invasion of
their rights, whether it is the interest ofall
the other States to drop the topic and aban
don the attempt, or, by continual persever
ance in this dangerous course, to jeopar
dise the harmony and welfare of tlieuuion?
A Miss Hannah Fuller, lately obtained
in a northern state, a judgment of twenty-
five dollars against Mr. Van De Bogart,
for breaking a marriage promise with her.
The amount rendered is said to be insuffi
cient to pay the lawyer’s fee. The trade
in broken vows, so profitably cai ried on for
a time past, appears from this to bo on the
decliue—indeed, is below par.
