Total balances of all funds. s.--...-.-

The committee after full and careful ex-
animation, reported:
l. That they find IN the State Treasury
the full and exact amount of money and
funds sOhich the books Of the Treasurer's
office shows should be there, to Uh: $685.,
46l SO.
II. That the books of the Offices of
Treasurer of State, Comptroller of State,
and the auditor of State, eractly agree
NTH each other, and that no discrepancy
phateUer exists 6etOeen the balances as
shown By said several books.
They also reported that the rumors of
inaccuracy or mismanagement in the fnan-
cial affairs of the State were "wholly with
out foundation" that the books of the sew
eral offices were kept by "a system at once
simple and thorough that they were
"greatly pleased with the exact and bust
ness manner in which the Offices are con-
duc.ed," and that they 'feel justified in
saying that they believe the utmost integ-
rity and faithfulness characterize the pres
ent management of the States finances" "
All the members Of the Committee, except
Mr.. Par, signed the Report. If the
Statesman desires to make an issue with
such Democrats as Mr.. Holmes of the Sen
ate, and Mr.. Tanneyhil of the House, we
have no objection to its doing so. Will it
have the hardihood to attempt to impeach
their veracity9
1t is true, however, that the money 10
the Treasury on account Of General ReVe-
nue. fund was exhausted by the expenses in
Cured by the late session Of the Legisla-
ture, and that as the law prohibits the Off
GERS Of State from taking the money from
one fund to pay the debts Of another, no
claims on the General Revenue fund can be
paid How does it happen that the money
in the Treasury for General Revenue pur-
poses is exhaustedi A few words Of ex-
PLANTATION will make this clear. 1t must be
observed that the seven-tenths of a mill tax
applicable TO this fund for the year 1859 has
not yet been paid into the Treasury. One.
half Of it was collected in December last,
and the other half will not be collected till
June next This is one reason why there
is no money in the Treasury to pay claims
against that fund. There is another potent
reason 1t is we'll known that the last Leg
islafure was democratic, and allowed large
number Of old claims Of its partizan friends
against the State. Il appropriated S4,239.-

In addition to these there are number
Of other questions, tho answers to which
can be obtained now with little trouble. It
is hoped that every person who sees thisre-
quest will, before the LIST day Of June, make
out the answers, and in case Of absence,
leave it with the family ready for the officer
when he makes his appearance.
We have been requested to say that by
an act Of Congress providing for the taking
of the seventh and subsequent census of
the United States, and fix the number Of
the members of tho House of Representa-
tives, &c, approved May 23d, 1920, pro

transmit through the post-office any papers
or documents relating to the Census, by
writing thereon 'O6fcidl6usineSs- Census,

That no unnecessary delay may happen
to communications addressed to the United
States Marshal in reference to taking the
Census, the press will do service by pub
lication of these facts for the information
of post-masters throughout the State.

NIacauIay-Deeemb %, 1859.
A goodly ship gone down
Az she came vending 70 her land;
tn expectant peoples throng the strand,
The fame ellis Geld aud town.
Came laden with such store
Nor galleon nor argosy;
Great merchantmen, across the seA,
Such treasure never bore.
Wealth that was ever poured
Into conqueror's ships, the spoil
or Empires fall; the heaped toll
or state or monarch's hoard,
Or freight OF massive gold,
Gems, fabric Of Indian loom,
Spice, sunburnt fruit, or rich perfume
An that "Earth's lap" doth hold.
B1t rarer far she bore
Than all: ingots Of golden thought,
Dug IN dim mine and wrought
From LIES self primal ore;
Pearls from the sea Of time,
Treasures from buried towns Of lore,
Riches from learning's sacked shore,
Light webs Of wit and rhyme.
llsunk with herl Again
Can Divers art not bring them backl
The sea rolls DER the buried wreck
And mocks the grief Of men.

The FInances-ReckIessC Charges Against

The EInances-RecklessC Charges Against
tho Republican state Officers.
For several days past the Statesman has
been asserting that the State Treasury is
bankrupt-that the estate exchequer has
not got one dollar in its vaults" and that
"the Treasury has become bankrupt by rea-
son of the incompetency and extravaganza,
if not actual corruption, of tho Republican
officials" If it were the purpose of the
Statesman to destroy the State credit it
could not more persistently repeat its reck-
less charges. Are they true? Is it true
that "the State exchequer has not got a
dollar in its vaultsT We deny it, and in
proof produce the following, which even
the Statesman will not attempt to contro-
vert.
1t is well known that some days prior to
the adjournment of the Legislature, Mr..
Parr member of the House from Licking
county, introduced resolution for the APP
pointment of joint committee to examine
the State Treasury and see what money
was in it, and whether there was discrep-
ancy between the books of the Treasurer
of State, Comptroller of State, and Audi
bOT vi 0bhlSs ~ WIS daoSllIu ludb buSlC
was discrepancy of 100000 between
the books of the Auditor and Treasurer,
and the committee was asked for in conse,
quence of that rumor. The committee
was appointed-on the part of the House
Messrs. Parr, (dem.) Tanneybill (dem.)
and Robinson (repub.), and on the part Of
the Senate, Messrs. Cox (repub.) and
Holmes (dem.) The resolution was passed
on the 10th of March, but the committee
could do nothing in consequence of the alb
sence of Mr. Parr, the Chairman Of the
House committee, who declined meeting
with them. The remaining members Of
the committee met and adjourned from day
to day without entering upon the investi
cation assigned them, until March 16th
when finding that Mr.. Parr would not meet
with them they proceeded to make the in
vestigation. They examined the money
and funds actually in the Treasury at the
close of business transactions on the 18th
of March, and found them to be as follows

The seventy ninth day of the session was

passed, quite number killed, and others post

Of the two Houses:
Lieut.. Gov. Kirk, in the Senate, performs
his duties with admirable Judgment and tact
IrreprOaohable in private life, dignifed in his

urbane in his manners, well acquainted with
the rules governing legislative bodies, and
prompt in the discharge of his official duties,
the House under his administration of its af-
fairs, has proceeded in the work assigned it in
an orderly and decorous manner. The other
officers of the two Houses, by their prompt
attention to their duties, also merit commenda-
ton.

EDIroRs MORNING LEADER An editorial
of the Cleveland Herald, March 18th, seems
to convey the idea that the German RepubIi-
cans would support any man who might be
nominated at Chicago.
The 'aetiye" German Republican with whom
that idea originated, labOrs under a great mis-
take There will certainly be no fraction of
the Republican party more jealous in further
ing the triumph of the party, but on this con-
diti9n only, that true representative of Re-
publican principles is nominated.
If Bates, Banks or any other man of tn cir
stripe should De preferred by the Chicago Con-
vsntion, you may be assured that not one
hundreth part of the German Republican vote
will be east in his favor.
We think (and that feeling is universal
amongst us) that we have had compromises
enough, and that the time has arrived when
the Republican party has fearlessiy to carry its
principles into practice. We ought TO guard
agsiust a second edition of FillmOreism, and
the party in its present state is certainly not
compelled to cling to men TO whom it has no
affinity whatever.
10 De Deaten under the leadership OF Chase,
Seward, or any otheT true Republican, is less
injurious than q victory with party man of
to day. We can afford to be defeated with a
man representing our principles, but we cannot
win anything by surrendering them on ae-
count of a stranger, unless we wish to hasten
the dis0rganization Of the party.
The Platform Of Philadelphia stamps the Re
publican party as the progressive party of the
country such apaTty can never take single
step backwards, nor entrust its banner to
doubtful hands, without breaking to pieces. It
has to stand by its principles, and acknowledge
as leaders only those that have been tried and
found faithful If not willing to do that, it
must allow those adhering TO the principles, TO
withdraw and follow their own course.
