financial Resources of south caro-

lima.
A State or people who undertake to set up
for themselves in the entire business of main
tanning rank among nations, should have
adequate funds in hand, or a reasonable pros
ppct that they will grow out of future events.
When our colonies began business on their
own account they were poor, and expected
to suffer from poverty until the vast resOuF-
ces of the continent they had begun to &C.
cuEy could be developed. There was good
ground for hope OF the future with them, but
what ground for present satisfaction or for
prospective Improvement can any man see in
South Carolina? The debates in the Legis-
lature of that State, on the first two days of
its session subsequent to the adjournment of
the convention. furnish the following facts in
regard to the financial resources now at their
command. a member remarked that "the
Committee of Ways and Means, on starting
out. had to meet an appropriation of over
100000 originally appropriated" wbic b
we understand to be deficit of that sum
in payments for last year. Next it is said,
"last year S6I2.000 were appropriated for
roads, which sum il is also said is mostly
needed for the service of the year gone by.
Then 100000 has been appropriated for the
ordinance department. and S500.0O0 ior an
EARNED military force" having already been
voted, the member very properly asks where
.his million and a half of dollars already
voted is to come from, all of which twas
| either to be raised by taxation or on the cred
| it of the State"
Ali this yet provides nothing for the new
State-house, nothing for the coast police, nor
| for any postal, naval or commercial protec-
ticn expenses The items voted to be raised.
! and necessary for a service which has not a
dollar in hand. are the following:
| Deficiency from last year. 500, 900

Pursuant to a call, a meeting wal
held on Saturday evening last, in tht
Council Chamber, to take into consid'
Grafton the propriety of erecting
water works, in order that the town
might be better supplied with water,
in case of fire, &c.
The NEE ting was called to order by
Mr.. VIM. McCready. Mr. S. FL. Titr $
was appointed Chairman, and MI.
VIM. Gown Secretary.
The object of the meeting was sta
ted, and Mr.. L. ]. Titus moved that
Common Council be authorized to
construct four cisterns or re: ervoirs-
one at the Brewhonse, one at Coryell's
corner, one at Young S store, and one
at Ranyan's corner.
This motion gave rise to lengthy
debate, in which Messrs McCready,
A. C. Barber, L. j. Titus, Ingham
Coryell. j. A. Anderson, and others,
took part, all Of whom agreed that it
was necessary and proper that the
town should be better supplied with
water. Mr.. Titus said that he was
not entirely opposed to the erection
of water works, and made this motion
for the purpose of hearing what could
be said npon the subject.
The motion being put before the
meeting by the Chairman, it was lost.
Mr.. VIM. McCready then moved
that committee be appointed to as
certain the probable cost, and gather
information in regard to the matter,
and report at e subsequent meeting,
which was agreed to, and the follow
ing gentlemen were appointed said
committee

On motion, the meeting adjourned,
to meet at the call Of the committee.
We have full notes of tho proceed
ings of the meeting, which are too
lengthy for our columns this week.
We shall have something more to say
on the subject soon. 1t is to be
hoped that the water question viii
not be allowed to drag" as it is a
matter Of much Importance to our
citizens and the interest and advance
mant of the town.

The Doylestown mtelligeacer says
on Thursday of last week Mr. Yardly
called up the bill for the relief of Lewis
S. Coryell, Of New Hope. This bill
provides that the Auditor General,
State Treasurer and Attorney General
shall examine the claim Of Lewis S.
Coryell against the commonwealth,
and make an award of how much, if
anything, is due to him-which
amount, so awarded, shall be paid blythe
State Treasurer. Mr. Coryell's claim
is for rent of house and Office on the
Delaware Division Canal, at New
Hope. lie alleges in bis petition that
by an agreement between himself and
the Canal Commissioners, he built q
house and Office at the locks. in New
Hope, to be use1 by the Canal Com
missioner, for which he was to receive
the rent of $140. When Mr. Eli Sol
liday was appointed collector, he re-
fused to pay the rent of the house.
The first year it was not rented-the
subsequent years Mr.. Coryell rented
the house for fifty dollars. This claim
is $40 the first year, and ninety dol
liars per year for four years following
till 1858-the time of the sale to The
Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company
amounting in all to $500.

could not get it were it not for the

them to grow up in Ignorance and

long run than to make respectable
