STATE DEBT.

The Jefferson Inquirer, IN reply to an ar
ticle of the New York Herald" on the
subject of the Finances of Missouri" which
we published in our last, contradicts the
Herald at every turn, and corrects the mat
ter, as follows:
THE interest on our State debt is about ST.
600. The loan recently made by the Palmyra
and Jackson branches Of the Bank OF Missouri
has been applied 10 paying off the spring interest,
and in no case has either delay OF denial Of pay
ment been made 10 the holders OF interest cou
pons. The amount due in the next autumn will
be about $35, 500, which will be paid from the
collections Of State revenue, made in ST. Louis
and deposited monthly in the mother bank 10 the
credit OF The treasurer. 1t may be estimated
that the collection from that city and county
alone, between the present time and the autumn,
will, together with that now on doposite, be sufi
cient 10 cover the interest then due and payable.
Independent 0! these resources, the State reve
nue. for the year 1915 will be payable into the
treasury in the month Of next December, and If
there be any insufiiciency Of revenue to meet the
liabilities Of the State, it will not fall on the
holders Of the bonds OF tie State, but on our CT.
vii officers, who, at the utmost, may be compelled
only 10 wait month or two beyond quarter day
for their salaries, and even this result is barely
probable.
We apprebend there will be but little diff.
fculty in meeting the fall interest, as the
source TO which the Inquirer refers will
most probably meet it, But previous tc
the meeting Of the Legislature, another
years interest will fall due. The Governor
has no further authority, we believe, &c
borrow money, and the current expenses o.
the government including the Convention
which is to assemble next winter, in al
probability will absorb the State revenue
And if so, how is the interest for next yeal
TO be paid? 4 larger amount will be ncces
sary for next year than was requisite fol
this, and there being no further power tC
borrow, and fair presumption that the
current expenses of the government vii
absorb the State revenue, we must confess
there appears TO be some plausibity in tho
statements Of the Herald. We hope, how
ever, the State may be able TO maintain he
credit.
The Inquirer seems TO derive consolation
from the fact, that although Missouri is il
debt, and there is bare probability tina
she may not be able to meet, the interes
and current expenses, promptly, yet he
condition is good compared with some o
her sister States! This is quite consoling
indeed But even this consolation vanish
es, when we inquire into the circumstance
under which these debts were incurred
Our sister State, Illinois, for instance, is al
most hopelessly in debt, but that debt wa
incurred by efforts-badly planned, in
deed-to ameiorate the condition of he
citizens and advance her interests. Mis-
souri, has attempted nothing TO advance tn
interests of her citizens, yet she has in
Cured a debt which takes annually froT
10000 to $4,000 to keep the Intere
down. And, what makes il WORSE ST.
has TO borrow to pay The interest

but complaints on this score are fruitless,
unless the Government of the day will
consent to keep as many men in pay during
peace as the exigencies of the country
would require in war. The Government,
however, will be probably, induced, in con-
sequence of the strong representations
which are made at q critical time, to pro-
vide remedy for some Of the evils diated
upon.
From Wilmer and Smiths Times, Nay 90.
Hopes are entertained that the intima-
ton conveyed in one of the New York
papers, that special minister-probably
Mr.. Van Buren--had been selected to pro-
coed to the Court of st. James, for the
purpose, if possible, of satisfactorily ar
ranging the point in dispute, is correct.
We can only repeat what we have pre-
vious!y stated that on the part of the Brit
ish nation no desire exists TO measure lances
with the United States about the Oregon
territory; the umbrage is to be found in
the language of Mr. Polk; but all polti-
clans appear TO be agreed that the present
is the time-now or never--for bringing
the affair TO a conclusion.
TIE FundS.-As if by common consent,
the apprehensions of collision between
Great Britain and the United States re-
speeding the Oregon question, have all but
died away, and the natural effect upon the
public securities has been to enhance pri-
ces. As yet. however, the advance is COM
paratiyely limited-say from 35 TO l2
per cent.
1t will be seen by the American pro.
vision market, that that description of pro-
duce holds an encouraging position except
in the article of butter. With the excep.
ton of the great American staple, cotton
all other articles of commerce, speaking
generally, are going off favorably at remu
nerating prices.
Opinions Of the French PrcsS.-The
questions relative to Oregon and Texas
have naturally excited much attention Of
the press and the public of Paris. On the
first, the feeling is, upon the whole, against
Americas; that is, against the prete nsion'
put forth in the Presidents harangue, which
excited such striking demonstration in
the British Parliament

SLAVERY AND THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH:
The Commercial states that the Presbyte-
rian Convention now in session in Philadel.
phia has adopted the following propositions
relating to the subject of slavery:
/. That the institution of slavery, exist.
ing in these United States, is moi sinful on
the part Of civil society.
2. That slavery, as It exists in these Uni.
ted S,ates, is not a sinful offence.
8. That civil government is not bound
to abolish slavery in these United States.
d. That it is not agreeable to the word Of
God for any person Intentionally TO induce
those held in slavery to rebel against their
m9sIefs.

MAIL FAILURE.

The eastern mail due this place on
Thursday evening failed. We hear of no
cause for this failure, but attribute it 10
high water. The stage passed up as usual,
but brought no mail bag. The stage must
have failed beyond Fulton.

Su1cIDE.-Col. J. NJ. WooDsoN, of this
county, committed suicide by hanging him
self on the evening Of the 10Th Instant
He had at times evinced such depression
Of spirits as to occasion some anxiety and

On Thursday evening he left home, stating
that he was going 10 the residence of his
son 10 get some tobacco plants; not return
ing, search was made, and he was found
next morning suspended by the neck. He

The Great Fire at Quebec.-The total
loss by the late confagra,ion at Quebec is
variousIy estimated at from 100000 to
$3,0OO,OOO. One account says that be-
tween 1900 and 1000 houses were con-
sumed, and about 10000 persons-one
third of the population of the city--ren-
dered houseless and in want of the common
necessaries Of life. The hospital. to which
number Of sick persons were carried,
caught fire from the fakes Of fire waited
from the burning district, and was en-
tirely consumed, with some of its inmates.
Twelve bodies had been recovered, and it
was feared that many more were buried
beneath the ruins--perhaps sixty or eighty.
Every exerton was making in Montreal to
alleviate the distress of the unfortunate
sufferers. The Provincial Government
sent down $4,000 for their immediate ne
cessities; the Catholic Bishop Seminary
and Hotel Dieu each forwarded $500, and
Lord Metcalfe also sent donation of
$500.

Interesting Legal Decision. inter-
fore Hon. Judge Scott of the Supreme
Court, on Tuesday last A difference of
opinion has existed between the new Board
of Inspectors of the Penitentiary, and the
lessees, as 10 the meaning of the law con-
corning the Imprisonment of convicts. The
former contending that where a convict
escapes from the prison and is afterwards
retaken, the time during which he was at
large is part of his term of Imprisonment
and, consequently, that the convict annot
be detained beyond such term, although he
may have actually been confined within
the prison during short part Of such tern,
such escape.
The Lessees, on the other hand, contend.
ing that the convict must actually serve out
within the prison, the time for which he
was sentenced; and that, consequently, il
a convict makes his escape, and is after,
wards re-taken, the time during which he
was at large is not to be computed or con.
sidered as part of his term of imprison.
ment. In order to test the question, con.
vict by the name of Baker, who had es
capped, and afterwards had been re-taken
was brought before Judge Scott on a wri,
Of habeas corpus. The case was argued
by B. F. Stringfellow, Esq, on part Of the
prisoner, and S. M. Bay, ESQ.,, on part o
The Lessees. We understand that the opin
ion Of Judge Scott conceded with that o
the Lessees, and that the prisoner was re
manded.-JeferSon Enquirer.

News FROM SANTA FE.--Mr. Wethercd,
who has been engaged in the trade to New
Mexico for several years past, arrived in
this city yesterday. In company with
Gen. S. G.. Owens, he reached lndepend-
ence on the 10th inst, in advance of the
wagons and men, who were left at the
little Arkansas. They left chihuahua on
the 7lh of April, and Santa Fe on the 5th
May, and had remarkably pleasant and
quick trip. The proceeds of the years adj
venture consist of specie and gold dust
of which, we learn from another quarter,
Gen. Owens brought in about $4,000,
lie also has with him samples of wool,
obtained at Chihuahua, with the view Of
determining whether this species of trade
can be made profitable. The company
comprised thrty-six men and six wagons
Several Mexicans are in company.
OF political news, we have been able &c
gather only a few items. Gov. Armijo
who had made himself obnoxious to the
people, by forced and exorbitant loans OF
money, and the Imprisonment of the prln
cipal merchants of Santa Fe, was superCe
ded day or two before the company left
by the appointment of Chaves in his stead
The new Governor is young man, a
brother of the trader murdered by McDan
iel and his confederates, two years ago, on
the route from New Mexico to the Unitet
States. There was some excitement con
segment on this change, and because o
apprehended difficulties between the Gov
eminent of Mexico and the United States
and the suspension of trade from this quar-
ter. But their advices from the city o
Mexico were, of course, not so recent a!
those which have reached us by the wa.
of New Orleans.-RepuJlicdn.

England and America. The proceed
ings which took place in the House of
Commons, on Friday night, 10th of May,

ularly to the state of the navy, which the
professional members contended was in a
most inefficient state, badly manned, and
altogether disgraceful to the country and
to the service. The admission of this in,
efficiency was made by Sir Geo. Cockburn,
and the other representatives of the admi-
