taxes with which they are now burdened.
invite your attention to the sul gesons Of The Treas
Of State, relating TO the description OF funds TO b'
received in payment OF the public dues The Law estab
fishing the Independent Treasury, while providing for
the gradual prohibition OF payments in paper
money by the state ana county Treasurers' ano
restricting The payments 10 gold and silver
after the fourth day OF july sd5, does not prescribe
does other lawprescrbe the kind OF funds to be
received by those officers This 10 manifesty defect in
the law, and s incol stent with Its frame work and pur
pose. The responsibility ought not to be imposed upon
the Treasurers, to prescribe The kind OF funds to be re
ceved in payment OF the public dues This should be
done by the General Assembly MY own opinion Is, that
the public interests would be promoted by restricting
such payments to specie and the notes Of the specie pay
ing Banks OF this state and respectfully recommend
that the law be amended accordingly
The subjects ofbanking aud currency, address them

the State Whatever theories may entertain on these
