State Treasury Nnfea.

nealuueQ In our last 10 Inc Violent anu un]uSll'
fable manner in which Mr. Treasurer Worth has
been assailed by the Raleigh Register, because he
refuses to discriminate between public creditors in
paying out money. The money in the Treasury at
this time is almost exclusively Confederate. The
small amount of Treasury notes. fundable rnmedi-
ey, which the Treasurer is authorized to re issue,
are eagerly sought for. because they bring premi
um of per cent in the market The Treasurer is
not now, and is not expected soon 70 be under the
necessity Of raising money by the sale Of State bonds,
or fundable Treasury notes and consequently, We
learn, no more bonds Treasury.notes fundable at
the pleasure of the holder will be issued until the
necessities Of the Treasury shall require it. The
limit fixed by law the issue and re issue of these
Treasury notes, fundable Immediately, has been
nearly reached. The amount of these, which may
be lawfully reissued, is not equal to One-half the
coupons State bonds now due
The Treasurer having 10 right to discriminate
between the merits of different claims, and not hay
ing enough of this currency to pay all of those hold
ing coupons, to pay one fourth of the amount due
20 soldiers for State bounty has very properly de-
termine6for the present to pay all in the same cur
rency, to wit, Confederate notes. When the Treas
ury notes of the denominations of s. and upwards,
authorized to be issued by the last General Assem-
bly,, shall be received from the printers and made
ready for ISSUE they will be paid out to all claimants
on the Treasury who may prefer them, as long as
they last; but the Treasurer, learn, does not
contemplate exchanging. them for other currency,
excepting with soldiers or their families within the
enemy'S lines. We learn that the Treasury notes
Of the denominations of So and under, intended for
change now daily looked for from the printers,
and as as received they will be sent to the
Banks all over the State, to be signed, numbered
and clipped, by Clerks appointed for the purpose
Persons wanting change will, therefore, apply to
the Banks, and not to the Treasury department.
We are requested to state, that to enable the
County Commissioners, appointed in pursuance Of
The act appropriating one million Of dollars for the
relief Of the wives and families of soldiers in the
army to know the amount due to each County,
and how to obtain it the Treasurer has transmitted
90 the postofice of each County seat draft similar
20 those issued by the Comptroller in favor Of the
Chairman of the Board of Superintendent of Com
mon Schools. These addressed in each case to
THE County Commissioner"
When Mr. Worth came into Office he found the
Treasury much depleted By energy and persever-
apce he has replenished it, and he has in hand
considerable amount consisting mainly of Confed-
crate notes. He receives these notes freely and
pays them out freely; and because he does this,
and thereby Sustdns Confederate credit and refuses
20 discriminate between State creditors he is de
nOunced and vilifed by paper in this City (the
Register which in the interest of at least one of
the Bsnks-and the Banks it is well known, have
been pursuing for time the very course adopt
ed by Mr.. Worth. But the fact that the Reg
aser assals Mr. Worth is one of the best evidences
that he is performing his duty. .
