THE STATE FINANCES.

The fiscal year as established by law in the
Treasury Department closed Jon the 3Oth of
September, misunderstood that the receipts
or balance ia the Treasury this year, as COM
pared with thatof lastyeaf, will fall short a
bout 500, 0O0:~ There are several items COM
prising this deficiency pertaining both to a de-
cline in the tax arrearages and the non-pay-
ment of dues on the part of certain public works.
One reason of the falling off in receipts is the
refusal of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany to pay the proportion of the capitation tax
on the Washington branch road from the Relay
House to Baltimore city, which the company i'll
sists is not part properly of the Washington
road but that it is portion of the Ohio route
An effort was made in the last Legislature to
release this part of the road from its proportion
of the capitation tax, but it failed. The capita
ton tax, it will be remembered, is one-fifth Of
the passenger fare between Baltimore and Wasl-
ington and the proportion withheld and refused
payment by the company, both in January and
June, is about one-fourth of the State receipts
from the Washington road, which last year a.
mounted to about $4,000.
The Susquehanna and Tide water Canal Com
panies, under the energetic remonstrances of our
efficient Comptroller, have been induced this
year to pay small portion of their annual in
terest to the State amounting, it is said, to a.
pOuL %II ,UOO. 1uty have dlSO llldCe PROVISION
for further payment on account Of said interest,
which is about $67 900 per annum.
The direct taxes throughout the State have
never been paid SO promptly as during the past
year; but as the arrears Of direct tax are yearly
decreasing, the amount received from the latter
source is less than in former years.
The receipts from licenses in Baltimore city
have increased, notwithstanding there are from
six hundred to eight hundred suits for licenses
in litigation. In the counties, also, large
number of persons have refused to pay the in
creased rate of licenses, and awaiting the de-
cision of the suits instituted in Baltimore city.
There is a large surplus of cash in the State
Treasury; and the State Treasurer is authorized,
by law at his discretion, to invest at any time
such portion of it as he may think proper for
the benefit of the sinking fund of the State
The high price of the Maryland six per cent.
stock, being six per cent. above par, has deter
red him for some time past from purchasing at
the premium indicated. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the Treasurer, rather than permit SO
large an amount Of money longer to lie idle, has
concluded to make investments in Virginia State
stock to the amount of 5000, 900 or more for the
sinking fund. Virginia six per cent. bonds
were quoted yesterday in Now York at 9sE.-

EXPENDITURES OF THE U. S. IN THE DISTRICT
OF CoLUMBIA-In answer to resolution by
Senator Brown, which was passed during the
late session of Congress, calling upon the Secre-
tary of the Interior to furnish statement of the
expenditures of the Government in the District
of Columbia, since its foundation, the statement
has been made out, and amounts in round num-
bers, to $4,000, OOO.. This includes all ex-
penses for public buildings, repairs, bridges, gas,
and everything except the salaries of clerks
OF this amount, about 81 100000, which was
appropriated for the Smithsonian Institution,
should be deducted, as this was not the money
of the U. S. Government, but only held by them
in trust for the specific purpose of constructing
that Institution and laying off its grounds
