A HARD CAsE.-The Fund Commissioner Of
the State of Illinois. for the purpose Of paving
the interest on the debt of that State, borrowed
100000 Of the very respectable house of Me-
Alster g. Stebbens OF this city, giving as COL
lateral security the Stock Of the State at 40
on the dollar. Mr.. Whteside, the Fund Com
missioner, is now in the city, but cannot refund
the money, and to prevent McAllister e. Stcb-
bins from realizing what they can upon the Stock
in their hands, has procured an injunction from
the Chancellor whose business it seems to be, to
stop every thing. This very hard procedure has
caused the failure of the house this morning.

EDENEzER ELLIOTT, poor iron dealer of Shelf
field. Eng. is astonishing the world, by strains
worthy Of a Burns. Tho following comparison
OF the outward and visible glories OF creation,
with the prospects which are opening on society
from the light of knowledge, is extracted from one
of his recent productions:
God said ''let there be light!''
Grim darkness felt his might,
And fled away,
The startled seas and mountains cold,
'Shone forth all bright in blue and gold,
And cried, '''ris day, tits day."
"Hail holy hgh.!" exclaimed
The thunderous cloud that famed
Der daisies white;
And 10! the rose, i'm crimson dressed
Leaned sweetly DER the Iily's breast,
And blushing, murmured ''Lioht!"
Then was the sky-lark born,
Then rose the enlbattled corn
Then floods ofrraise
Flowed DER the sunny hills at noon,
And thea, in stillest night, the moon
Poured fourth her pensive lays;
l.o heavens bright bow is glad!
10! trees and flowers all are clad
In glory, bloom.
And shall the immortal sons of God
BE senseless as the trodden olod,
And darker than the tomb!
No, by the MIND of man!
by the stuart artizan!
In God, our sire!
Our souls have holy light within,
And every form Of grief and sin
Shall see and feel its fire.
BY earth, and hell, and heaven,
The shroud of souls is riven!
Mind, mind alone
liz light, and hope, and life, and power,
Earth's deepest night, from this blessed hour,
The night of mind, is gone!

Postmaster Generals Report.

The Intelligencer contains the Report Of Hon.
G.. A. Wickiiffe, Postmaster General. 1t is quite
brief, filling only two columns of that paper. In
excuse for lack Of details, the Postmaster Gene
raj urges the short time he has been in office.
The financial condition OF the Department is
not as prosperous as the demands upon it require.
The fluctuations Of business, the increased facil-
tiles for the transmission of letters by private con-
veyance, the great extension and abuse of the
ranking privilege, the recent establishment of
private expresses upon the mail roads, and the
frauds prac,ised upon the Department, are men
toned as the prominent causes Of the embarrass-
ments under which it labors. Its financial con-
dition is thus stated:
"l'he total gross revenue Of the Post Office for
the fiscal year commencing on the first of July,
1910, and terminating on the 30th June, 1871,
was S4,379,2l7 10; the total expenditure for the
same time was "a ,567 1898 80. In this year
the expenditures exceeded the revenue by the
sum OF SS7,920 81. A statement of the expendi-
lures, more in detail will in due time, as requir-
ed by law, be reported to Congress.
"lhe precise income and expenditure Of the
General Post Office cannot be known in any year,
until the close OF the fiscal year, and the settle
ments of all accounts have been completed.-
Consequently, any statement of expenditure and
income, for the present year. is liable to the fluc-
tuatlons and changes always incidentto the pecu-
liar character Of the service.
"I'he expenditures and income Of the Depart
ment for the current year may. upon estimate, be
stated in round numbers as follows:
Total amount ofrevenue derived from
hostages, fines, and other sources, Sf,390,000
Expenses ofmail transport
tation, S3,145,000
Commission TO Postmas-
tiers, if the rates of per

Incidental expenses, in

The Postmaster states that he has essayed the
most rigid economy, in the administration Of tHe
service, and yet he is satisfied the expenditure
cannot be reduced within the income. Under the
circumstances, he has thought it necessary to re-
adjust the commissions allowed TO Deputy Post
masters, by which about 100000 will be added
to the revenue Department. Should Congress

kept Of the amount Of bonds issued, the pur-
poses for Which issued, nor Of their mum

the information desired, was by examining
the reports which, from time TO time, hare
been made TO the Legislature.
We consider this to be one OF the most
extraordinary Developments Of official
neglect yet brought to light. What a
State with a known debt exceeding nine
teen millions OF dollars, to keep no account
of such issues, and be unable with accura-
CIV to render a statement of its financial
condition To issue bonds, from time 10
time, to meet the e%xigencies of the mo-
ment, and be unable to learn any thing as
to them, except from loose, incorrect re.
ports, made by interested agents Such
DEVELOPMENTS us to individuals would dis

prised that Illinois bonds sell in New York
