Return Of Gov. Carney.-State Finances.

Gov. Carney arrived home on Sunday
morning, from an extended visit to the
East, where he has been engaged in trans
acting business for the State. The Gov
ernor is looking finely, and his Office was
througed yesterday by old friends and
acquaintances, eager to welcome bis return.
From the Governor we learn that, not
withstanding the most virulent and persis-
tent opposition, he has been eminently
successful in the financial operations en-
trusted to him by the last Legislature. He
has succeeded iu disposing of all the bonds
issusd by authority of the act of March I'd,
1868 (S54, ,O00), Notwithstanding the col
emn asseverations of ten Senatorial "pro.
testants that it was impossible. He has
substituted for the $4,000 of ten per cent
+" War Bonds" held by the Interior De-
partment, and which mature in July ncxl,
an equal amount of fifteen year seven per
cent bonds, held by the same department
under the contract of 1861, but not paid
for, and has cancelled and brought with
him the War Bonds" being the entire
issue, with the exception of $4,000 held by
other parties. The rate of interest which
the State is paying has thus been reduced
from ten to secen per cent, and bonds which
must have been paid in July next, replaced
by those falling due fifteen years hence.
The entire amount realized to the treas
ury from the sale of the bonds, both those
of the new issue and those remaining un.
sold of the issue of 1861, is ninety .fve
and one fourth cents on the dollar, or ten
cents more than the Legislature ever con-
templated, or the people had right to
expect. After returning to the treasury
the cancelled "War Bonds" this sale will
give to the State cash fund of $50, 900,
which, together with the absorption Of scrip
in the payment of spring taxes, will redeem
every outstanding floating obligation, and
place the State securely upon cash basis.
We doubt whether any State in the Union
could, when at the age Of Kansas, present
fairer financial exhibit. Our bonded debt
is exactly 100000. Our floating liabili.
ties will speedily be redeemed. And now,
when all the commercial interests, and all
the varied branches of industry are being
prospered beyond all precedent, there is no
reason why taxpayers should not respond
promptly to the demands made upon them,
and our State thus be placed beyond the
contingency of future financial embarrass-
ment.
We cannot forbear to add word of com
mendation to the perseverance, financial
sagacity, and devotion to the interests Of
the State, which have characterized the
action of Gov. Carney. Beset by difficult
ties Of no ordinary magnitude-pursued BY
the very jackals who had plundered the
State for their own emolument, and who
seemed determined to still further impair
its credit-he has, Notwithstanding, met
with greater degree of success than the
most sanguine could have anticipated. We
congratulate the Governor and the people
of the State upon this haphy result, Of
which, and the methods by which it was
obtained, we shall, perhaps, say more here
