CIV. LESLIE COMBS.

Inasmuch as the petition presented to Congress
by this gentleman early in this session presents
claim of some magnitude, and involves important
principles, we ought perhaps before now to have

THE STATE OF KENTUCKY.

The Legislature Of Kentucky commenced its
annual session at Frankfort on Thursday last. In
the Senate the Hon. ARCHIBALD DIXON, the Lieute-
nant Governor, took the chair as its President, and
the House of Representatives having proceeded to
election for Speaker of that body, the choice
fell on Gen. LESLIE Gowns by vote of 81 to 35.
The Annual Message of Governor OwsLEY was
communicated 10 the Assembly on the same day.
IL is commendable for lis brevity, as well for
the concise and plain manner iii which it treats of
the affairs Of the State We learn from it that the
States Indebtedness at the beginning of the fiscal
year which ended on the 10Th of October, 1916,
was Sf,659,456. Since then payments have been
made upon the principal Of the debt to the amount
Of ssl 400, and new liabilities created to the amount
OF $4,000, but resulting in further actual diminu-
ton of the debt s63,430; and the State is in the
possession OF stocks 10 the amount of 270 $780, by
which part OF the above debt may be discharged with
out burdening the people with taxation. This lat
ter sum being deducted, reduces the actual debt to
S3,325,526.
Thus, borrowing the language of the Frankfort
Commonwealth. "witha taxableproperty Of near two
hundred and fifty millions her citizens prosper
Gus and happy; her aggregate public Indebtedness
above her available resources but S3,325 ,526;
sinking fund not only ample for the prompt pay
