WASHINGTON.

Ia the last number Of the Edingburg ste
view there is n continuation, by Lore
Broughum, Of his political Characters''
After giving an analysis Of the character
of Napoleon, whom he pronounces the
most e&traodinary man of modern times,
he concludes with the following eulogy Oh
WASHINGTON:
How grateful the relief which the friend
OF mankind, the lover of virue, expert
ences, when turning from the contemplation
of such character, his eye rests upon the
greatest man of our own or OF any other
age; the only one upon whom an epithet
so ,houghlessly layished by men to foster
the crime, of their worst enemies may in
deed be nnocenily and justly bestowed
In Washington we truly behold marvel
Gus contrast 10 almost every one of the en-
dowments and the vices which we have
been contemplating, and which are SO well
fitted TO excite mingled admiration, aud
sorrow, and abhorrencc. With none OF
that brilliant genius which dazzles ordinary
minds; with not even any renal kable quick
ness of apprehension; with knowledge less
than almost all persons in the middle ranks
I and many well educated OF the humber
classes possess; this eminent person is pre-
scented to our observation clothed Il; attributes

lated To strike, or astonish, as if he had

region of private life, - But he had IL judy.

Treasurer has been able 10 obtain, lie es-
Inmates the amount which will be required
to ply the bouDty on wheat raised within
the Stare the pas, yea, at from $l25, 900
to $3.50, 900. The ordinary expenses Tor
the ensuing year are estimated at $3.50, e42-
Al, and the ordinary resources at $751;
1913 S2,--whicE leaves a balance to be pro-
vded for of s426, ll3 65. To this sum is
to be added The amonnt Of any extraordna-
ry appropriations which the Legislature
may make. The Treasurer lemarks-
"The State debt at the close OF the ensu-
ing year will he about $1,000O0O, = and
should the bounty Oh Wheat anG Corn be
continued, it will probably amount to 81, :
600,OO before any thing can be realized
from State tax, the interest on which
and The necessary expenditures Of Govern
ment will require Tax OF about $3.50 600
per aunun to prevent an increase OF the
debt"
The Treasurer closes his remarks with
some very good suggestions IN regard
TO loans, which we have not room 10 publish.
We have given above ii summary OF all
the material parts of The Report. and would
have been glad to have given The document
entire, were it not for crowding out other

The correspondent Of the Argus takes
great credit to the Van Buren, party in the
Legislature, for making SO much more ra-
pid progress this year than was made at The
last session. The credit for this, however,
really belongs 20 the wings. The Iocos,
last year refused to admit the election OF
Gov Kent. aud had their sheriffs and dep
uttes securing the State for two weeks IN
trying to hunt up flaws in the returns Of Sc
lectmen, SO that they could throw out whig
votes enough to prevent an election. The
wings this year have done nothing of the
kind. On the contrary, the annual reports
of the state officers have all been printed
aud LAID before the members the first day
Of the session, so that there is no pretence
Of idling away two or three weeks or even
single day before proceeding 10 business.
