Clerk OF Superior Court Of Chicago
TIE STATE TREASURER.
The fees and emOluments Of the State Treas
urer, as shown from communication from
him received to-day, amount to not far from
s2,o00 per annum, certainly not a large sum
for man having SO much money in charge as
Dir. Butler.
CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
The following letter was also received from
the Treasurer, and explains itself:

statements marked and B..
There are no records in the office by which the
Treasurer can furnish the required Information in
formation should be sought in the auditors Office,
it would doubtless be furnished.
I hope it will not be deemed improper for me to
state that there has been fund get apart to pay
interest sinceFebrualast. Out Of Interest fund

| Before the means in the hands OF the Treasurer
eall be exhausted he deems it his duty by author
ity Of the. third section Of the act entitled IAN
payment of exorbitant and unnecessary taxcs'-
approved February 5th. 18G1-to set apart 60 much

! iLL1AN Butler. State Treasurer
t Statement A referred to above shows the bal
ance Of revenue in the treasury on hand to be,

Statement shows the balance of interest
fund On hand January !, 1852, to be 1870,
673.S0.
It must not be Inferred because the Treas.
+ urer in the above communication says there
| las been no money Eet apart for the interest
payable in July 1862, that at tint time tie in.
| terest will not be paid. He intends to say that
be will set apart Of the funds to be paid III be-
tween now and that time sum sufficient to
pay that interest.

c~l Col. Dement, Of Dixon, or more properly II
, | Hon. delegate from Lee, for the purpose
| putting gentlemen on the record on Nation
: af1nirs, offered the following resolution an
Z moved its adoption.

r. OF the Constitution.
Mr.. Wentworth moved it be referred
the Committee on Federal Relations.
Il BIZ. Dement, spoke at some length, Al
C. hoped the Convention would take vote
the resolutiOn and not dodge the issue no
presented. II Delegates could not vote &
:, the resolution, let them seHd in their amen
IL ulents and then we shall sec what the sen
