[ We make the following extract from
the Report of Treasurer juugier. It in
rather rough on Rufus, but no more
than he deserves.]
Besides the bonded indebtedness as
shown in Table C, a large amount oi
new State bonds have been issued,
greatly in excess of tbe honest de
mands against the State, and under
circumstances that lead to the beiiel
that these bonds have been used for
private purposes, and' to furthei the
ends of certain individuals.
Paragraph 10 of section 86 of the
Code makes it the duty of the Treasu
rer to “annually report to the Gover
nor the amount of State debt bearing
interest for each year, distinguishing
between the sterling bonds, if any,
and federal; the rate per cent, paid on
each kind of bonds, the amount upon
each rate paid; also the exchange, il
any, and the aggregate amount of in
terest paid in each year, and the
amount due and unpaid at each semi
annual payment, and the reason for
such non-payment.”
These bonds, so far as the coupons
are concerned, not being executed ac
cording to law, and not being regis
tered in tbe Treasurer’s office, as tbe
law requires, I have no data by which
I can arrive at the exact amount of
new bonds-issued.- I have made seve
ral attempts to learn the amount and
disposition made of the bonds, but
the financial agent, who has been in
charge in New York, has been instruct
ed by the Governor to withhold all in
formation concerning them. Enough,
however, has been learned to authorize
the statement that nearly five millions
have been issued and sent to New York.
This attempt at concealment leaves
ground for grave suspicion, and. it
would behoove an honest executive to
expose such fraud against the State.
[The Treasurer then gives the names
of the railroads to which State aid has
been granted.]
Making in all thirty-two railroads to
which tbe endorsement of tbe State is
pledged, covering a distance of over
two thousand miles, ana in amount
about thirty millions of dollars, which
the State prospectively guarantees.
This, added to the old bonded indebt
edness and new bonds issued, will
make something over forty millions of
dollars, being one-fifth of the tax re
turned value of all the property in the
State, exclusive of railsoads, banking,
express and insurance companies.
In my last- annual report, to January
1st, 1870, the estimate for the usual
and necessary disbursements for that
year, exclusive of the interest on the
public debt, was five hundred thousand
dollars. This was ample for all honest
and practical purposes, but reddens
and pillaging hands-hawe run them to
nearly twice that amount, namely, nine
hundred and seventy-five thousand dol
lars', besides a large debt incurred
against the State Road.
The same report estimated the an
nual net earnings rf the Western and
Atlantic Railroad (the property of the
State, of which the Governor was Pres
ident) at three hundred and sixty thous
and dollars. Only forty-five thousand
dollars were paid into the State Treas
ury, while the Road is reported to hove
accumulated a floating debj of over
seven hundred thousand iolhirs, part
due connecting roads, balance for sup
plies and monthly pay rolls; making a
difference against the State of one mil
lion and fifteen thousand dollars. This
is a subject that calls for thorough in
vestigation, as it is a matter of great
wonder that a main trunk road, be
sides a heavy way freight, receiving at
one end the stock, manufactures and
produce of the North and the great
West, poured in by river and rail con
nection, and at the other distributed
by three different railroads in immedi
ate connection, all of which are paying
1 ■" -7T~
fine dividends to the
people are amazed that this great re
ceiver and distributor, one hundred
and thirty-eight miles long, and fully
equipped, should be so badly managed
as not to pay expenses, but saddle a
large debt upon the State. The en
quiry is, “What has become of the
money?”
Said last report further shows, after
paying all the ordinary expenses in
cluding the matured interest, a surplus
of four hundred and seventy<>ne thou
sand four hundred and sixty-one dol
lars, to be used as a sinking fund, to
aid in curtailing the State’s bonded in
debtedness. With a wise and honest
administration, these estimates would
have been easily and folly realized;
but with an excessively prodigal, un
scrupulous Chief Executive in the use
of the public funds, throwing them
broadcast, with the hope of buying in
fluence, and usurping power for cor
rupt purposes, with a venal crowd to
respond to his mercenary, sordid ends,
over four and a half millions of new
State bonds have been issued, which
the Governor, in his anxiety to keep
the matter concealed from the Treas
ury Department, failed to have execu
t'd and registered as the law requires.
Under these circumstances the Treas
urer asks to be excused from venturing
on an estimate of the expenses for
1871. -
Our final hope is in a great improve
ment in the Legislative Department,
so as to correct the abuses of the Ex
ecutive.
Respectfully submitted,

recently married a third wife, a-wid
owed daughter of the late Mr. Petti
grew. It is said that in sewing circles,
at tea parties, in the loll of fashiona
ble receptions, wherein two or more ol
the fair sex come together, this man
of many ’.rives, C. C. Bowen, is the
topic of conversation. A Republican
writer says the Washington Indies are
anxious to know the appearance and
personnel of Bowen, whether he is dark
or fair, youthful or middle-aged, short
or tall, whether his eyes are black or
blue, or both, and one young lady ol
poetic sensibilities wishes to know
which of Lord Byron’s characters he'
mostly resembles. Bowen would cer
tainly make a gushing Representative
from Utah, should that land of muny
wives be admitted as a State. Bowen
has now three living wives and repre
sents South Carolina in Congress.—La-

TO OUR FARMERS.
A Correspondent asks ns what we
think of late plowing. Plowing should
not be continued later than ten or elev
en o’ clock at night. It gets the hor
ses in the habit of staying oat late,
and unduly exposes the plow. We
have known plows to acquire spring
halt and inflamatory rheumatism from
late plowing. Don’t do it.
To another correspondent, . who
wants ns to suggest a good drain on a
farm, we would say a heavy mortgage
at ten per cent, will drain it about os
rapidly as anything we know of.
When you make cider select noth

A pick-ax should never be nsed in
jacking apples. It has a tendency to

In sowing your winter apple-jack a

In cutting down hemlock trees for

The coming cold weather should
suggest to the humane farmer the
necessity for a good cow-shed. The
following is a receipt for making a
good cow shed: Pour a pail-ful of
boiling hot water on her back, and if
that don’t make a good cow-shed—her
hair—we are no prophets to anya
body.
Now is the time for planting
your winter hay. The pink-eyed
Southdown is probably the best
variety, as it don’t need poling and
begins to lay early.
Rev. Dr. Deems, in the course of his
remarks at the funeral of Alice Cory,
said: “Men loved Alice Cary, and
women lovedher. When a man loves
a woman, it is nature; when a woman
loves a woman,‘it is of grace—of the
grace that woman makes by her loveli
ness; and it is one of the finest thing;
that can be said of Alice Cary, .that she
had such troops of friends of her own

A Kansas City editor, who employs

Hear him: limy sent home with our
washing yesterday a tnhig that branch
es off iu two ways a little below the
cop, like a railway junction, and has
puckered trills edged with ‘totting’ on
each end of the divide. We don’t
know what it is, and we’re a poor,

and none but villains would seek to
injure that. ”
A citizen of Dubiin, Timothy Mon
ahan, recently ieit £20 in his will to
ward tha completion of the Milan
Cathedral. A> the Duorno was begun
600 years ago, h-is cost up to this time
about £1:10,000,000, won’t be iiuished
lor 125 years, and will stiff require
£±0,000,000 or £50,000,000, Mr.
Monahan’s bequest cannot materially
aid the enterprise. Possibly his £20
might do something toward making
port of a finger of one of the Cathe
dral’s 5,000 statues.
