The 1rtt ITEM Eating the amount Of money ON
hand the firh OF Sober 5o5, i, founded on th. re-
port of the treaursr and is certainly accurate Rela

Hue, Tor tha attempt 70 prove that this fun of 81
th7u'aHd dollars ihould be eSpunged from the Ell
mate, becaue IL conttutes part of the revenue of
year fublequent to that for which their calculations
were made Let me again obCerve hat the Ultimate
extends only from the M Of Oaober 1905, TO the
3otb Of Sept. 1906. Ii is known to every citizen ,s
the Cate that much the greater part of the taxes in-
deed aiie1cept that on Law proces, is payable into
the treafnry the It Of . 9obur in each year As
the ihtris have addition per cent. on the taxes
they COLES for the prompt pay nen of them INTO thu
Golfers OF the Rare, and they nearly all payable
on certain day, it will evidently follow that
particular period in each year, viz the / q Of O6fo-
ber, large portion Of thereyenue o one wear will be in
The treafury. The heriifs not being entitled TO the
additional premium, uplels the money they have 70
collect is paid the fra Of October and il bein. i'm,
Poiibs for ali Of them to pay their refpe6ive fums
~ one day, the Inlelueuce is that during the whole
n"nfh nj September, thefe payments are daily max
ing INTO the treaiury. Hence, il appeared that in
September 1905, 10 thoullad dollars were paid in
70 the trtslury, although they not payable ill
the 1rit OF October, and the Legislature fy durin,
