Fire.

On Thursday last, about o'clock
?, NJ, Mr.. Jacob Waltz's house was
discovered to be on fire. The prompt
attendance Of citizens with buckets
and the earnest efforts which they
made to subdue the flames, already
envelOping the root, were of no avail.
The house, with most of its contents,
was burned to the ground. The wind
was high, at the time, and carried
burning shingles aud particles to a
great distance.
Asusual in such cases, most of our
citizens stood around with their hands
in their pockets for the want OF impIe-
ments with which to combat the
flames. Not a fire hook nor ladder is
in town! How long VIC shall remain
in this defencclesS condition, nobody
seems to know nor care, and we great
ly fear it will require a severe loss to
the town by the devouring element, to
arouse our people to the importance
Of being prepared for such emorgen,
cies.
The loss to Mr.. Waltz and his sons,
who had some valuable goods in the
second story of the house, is quite cx-
tonsive-probaby twelve Or fifteen
hundred dollars.

University and School lands, constitute
no part of the revenue of the State, but
that the Treasury is simply made the
agent for their receipt and disbursement.
The receipts into the Treasury for de-
linquent taxes upon nonresident lands,
have been largely increased over the last
year. This is TO be attributed mainly to
the able decision of the Supreme Court
which has rendered hopeless the efforts of
that class of property holders to avoid
their just proportion of the public expen-
ses. If this just decision had not been
made, or if the Court had arrived at n
different conclusion, the Treasury would
have been greatly embarrassed, and the
resident tax payers subjected TO an incon-
venient, if not insupportable burden.
The State Indebtedness, for which bonds
have been issued, is as follows:
Penitentiary bonds, due JAN
uary l, 1859, 5 10000 90
Penitentiary bonds due in
1860, 10000 90

$1,o24,S63 05

Total, $1,024,363 05
1t will be perceived that the aggregate
of receipts and expenditures is largely in
creased by including bonds to the amount
of 100000 90, which have been issued
in conformity to the law of January 80,
1853, all but $4,000 90 of which were
to redeem the outstanding bonds of the
State, which fell due on the 1st of July
last, and on the 1st Of January instant.
The conditions of the law, for the issue
Of these bonds, have been faithfully com
piled with, and bonds to the amount Of
100000 90 have been redeemed and
Cancelled, and provision made for the re-
demption of $4,000 90 which fell due
on the 1st Of January instant. II graf
flying also, to be able TO state that the
credit Of the State is in high condition (;
and that while the bonds Of the States Of
Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, and several
other States, were below par, we were
able TO negotiate these bonds at a premi-
uni.

Dec. l, 1854, was, $2S5,53G O6

The average amount of cash

years next preceding De-
cember l, 1858, was, 309,S5S %
The amount Of interest re-
ceived for the uso of the

No provision was ever made previous
to 1855, TO prevent the constant increase
of the public debt, by reason of the ac-
cumulated interest on the unadjusted por-
ton of the five million loan, and although
there was an average in the Treasury Of
$2S5,000, yet the interest upon that loan
unpaid was yearly increasing the princi-
pal Of our public debt, until it had reach
ed the sum of $965,65O s3.
The following is a statement of inter
est annually accruing on the "unrecog-
nized" (part paid) 100000 loan bonds,
by reason of the accumulation of interest
and its incorporation into the Adjusted
Bonds:
The amount issued May,
1888, known as "Unrec-
ognized Bonds, is $3,s13,-
600 90; on which the
State received only $685.

The Legislature of 1855, upon my rec
ommendation, passed an act requiring
these part paid bonds to be surrendered
for adjustment, OF that the interest should
stop. It will be perceived that most Of
them have been returned, and new bonds
at the adjusted rate have been issued in
their stead. AT that time the public
debt had reached It's maximum, and from
that period the surplus moneys on hand
in the Treasury, have been applied to its
reduction.
