sage to the North Carolina Legislature states the
aggregate bonded debt Of the State at %, s79 5es
The State has also floating debt of $50, rs aud

to discharge 1t. The Governor urges the creation
Of a sinking fund for the ultimate discharge Of
the State debt and the charter Of some institution
to take the place Of the State Bank, should II de-
eide to 90 into liquidation. He cautions the
Legislature, however, against the policy of build

thinks the same amount OF capital divided be.

in different sections Of the State, would be better
and safer, az each will act as a check upon the
other. change In the usury laws, and a reor-

KANSAS SEAT OF GovERxMISr-It will be
remembered that the Legislature of Kansas
Territory in 1855, designated Lecompton rs
the seat Of Government, pursuant to q re-
quirement of Congress. subsequently, Con-
gress made an appropriation for the erection
of public buildings at that point, and a por-
ton of the appropriation was expended. In
April last the Kansas Legislature passed a
law changing the location to Minneola, and
that, too, despite the veto of Governor Den
yer; and an attempt was made to divert the
unexpended portion Of the moneys appropri.
ated by Congress, to the erection of public
buildings at that point. Attorney General
Black has, however, decided that the latter
law of the Legislature involves violation of
the law of Congress, making the appropri
alton and that the diversion of the sppropri-
alton from Lecompton is q fraud upon the
General Government.

JOHN LErcHER.-We have frequently tax en-
occasion to explain, for the information Of those
at distance, that the vehement and furious
opposition of the Richmond Enquirer to the
proposed nomination of John Letcher for Gov
ernor of Virginia was having no effect what
ever injurious to Mr.. LIS prospects. This
opinion of ours was amply borne out by the
action Of the Richmond Democracy a few even
ings since, when choosing delegates to the
GubernatOrial Convention to come off on the
I'd proximo.-correctly explained, indeed, in
the following brief paragraph from the Rich
mond Examiner
/" 1t was gratifying commentary upon the as
saults Of the Enquirer on John Letcher to see
that here in Richmond, after all its labors In
cause which seems dear to it, the only speakers
against John Letcher, on Friday night, were tie
two junior editors Of the Enquirer. Have they
not convinced anybody besides themselves that
John Letcher Is unworthy OF the confidence of
the Virginia Democracy-and If they have, why
did they not produce their convert on Friday
night to the gaze Of the Democracy Of Richmond,
We will only say in conclusion that after max ing
allowances for our partiality for John Letchef,
II Is our deliberate opinion that the meeting on
Friday night could not fail to show to any un-
BIASED mind that John Letcher is beyond doubt
the choice Of an overwhelming majority Of the
gallant Democracy Of Richmond

7th. 1t is asserted that large increase of
taxation must result from the erection of a
new Court House and pondcrous rows of ciph-
ers, are held up to the startled gaze of the
taxpayers, with to the left of them. $780,
000, 90 say they, this building will cost and a
heavy increase of taxation. To this we only
7 have to say that within the next days con-
tract can be completed with competent work
man, with responsible sureties, to take the
old material, and erect and finish new Court
House 60 X 100, in as good style and of as du-
rable materials as the best one in any of the
adjoining counties, for SIS 900.
And further, that committee of gentlemen
of this Borough, of undoubted means, will
guarantee (from their knowledge of the finan-
ces of the county, that there shall be nioiin-
crease of taxation, and that if the means of
the county at the present rate Of taration, shall
be found inadequate, at once to meet the ex-
pense, that they will provide the funds, and
| look to the county for reimbursement, out OF
the usual rate of taxation.
The present inhabitants of Clearfield have
paid for their property at its value as enhanced
! by the location Of the county seat there, they
also pay their taxes upon the value of that
| property thus enhanced, and in reality they
have contributed largely towards all the coun-
| ty expenses and the hope that their fe How
cities will accord to them as community.
| those rights, that as individuals, the laws oil

sustain them until they undeceived.
