notedestitution. But with the proceeds OF his labor
he improved in spirits and appearance. and produced
a favorable impression upon his employer and ms
associates Within day or two past, however, he
had manifested the appearance OF one being more or
less under the influence of liquor, seemed rather
more depressed than usual, and talked about Killing
himself No one supposed he would commit such
an act, however. and no particular notice was taken
of his remark.
On Saturday he requested some money of his EN-
pOyer, which the latter withheld fearing 1t would
be expended for liquor. In the afternoon Owens
went to Starkwcathers gallery to have some like
nesses of himself taken, and while sitting manifested
50 mnch uneasneSS that the artist was compelled to
request him to quietly in order that correct pie,

Presently he went up stairs, and shortly afterwards
Mr.. Bruce heard the report of pistol, aud, on hur

Messnge of the Governor of New York.

ALBANY. Jan. 2.-The Legislature met to-day
when the Governor message was delivered. He con
graduates the Legislature on the return ol an hon
orable peace. and earnestly urges the claims of the
disabled soldiers of New FORK for permanent relic
from the general and state governments. The Comp
trOllers report shows deficiency OF 81 79OUO. The
receipts for the fiscal year. ending Sept. 80. amount
to Sl6213 600, and the payments TO S6 lS3OO Tia,
funded debt Of the state amounts to S6O5O91i, the
sum of S22S 900 having been redeemed during tn,
year.
The superintendent of the bank department report
100 banks conducting business under the State laws
and that 1913 have retired from the old system during
the year. nearly all oil which have been cGnverirt
into national banks. The amount Of outstanding
crculatOns is about ST 600 900. He speaks i.ivora
bly, of the national banking system.
The Governor says the state has made steady pro
gress in agriculture and manufactures. Colleges an,
academies of the State show a gratifying continu
ance of prosperity and usefulness and the schoO
system increases in efficiency and importance. The
Cove suggests further legislation in view of the
increased lawessnesS and crime, and suggests SAM
tary measures 10 meet the cholera, The receipts d
the canal department, for 1855, shows decrea5e o
$3.50 600 from the previous year; and the expense.
for repairs and maintenance of the canals exceeded
that of 1864 by 1892 600 The aggregate exceed.

be restored 1t is impossible to restore them
without money. We cannot have money with
out currency-and with these great necessi-
ties pressing upon us the Comptroller Of the
currency gives Us the pittance Of one million
three hundred thousand dollars, out Of a cur
rency Of s237 ,l55. He deals. with the
other Southern States, it is to be presumed, in
the same illiberll spirit.
This is wretched craftsmanship, il it is the
desire and expectation of the Treasury Depart
meut to profit by the industry and resources
Of the South, and to get its aid in reducing
the interest on the national debt. 1t is capital
management if it is the aim Of the Treasury
Department to stop the production Of Southern
cotton, tobacco, sugar, rice and other staples,
and TO deprive the Government Of the vast
revenues that accrue from them.
But while banking facilities are thus, to any
ADEQUATE extent, denied tothc southern States,
we find that the Comptroller of the currency,
in making up his table OF revenue estimates for
the next fiscal year, counts largely upon South
crn staples. lie estimates the cotton crop OF
next year at :, 500, 900 bales, and recommends
a tax ON cotton and tobacco, saying that as
thrcc-iourths Of the cotton and tobacco crops
20 abroad, that proportion OF the tax will be
paid by foreign countries. His table Of esti-
mate, proceeds upon the assumption OF Sl25,-
oOO, 600 from cotton, and Slj,OOO,OOO from to-
bacco. the next fiscal year. The enquiry here
suggests itself, if with the present meagre
financial facilities he has extended to us, he
expects such results, what great results might
ne not have expected had he exercised wiser
Gberality.
But two modes of raising money are LETT to
the people of the Southern States to enable
them to recommeuce with vigor and with the
hope Of success, their former industrial pur-
,uits-the sale of andS and individual loans.
They have already sold the remains OF the
crops they had on hand at the end Of the war,
and are now living uponthe proceeds. BY sell
ing portions of their lands, some farmers have
realized funds and have been enabled to re-
habiitatc themselves and To make arrange
ments for the resumption of their work. But
however much our landowners may desire to
sell portions of their estates in order to make
thc remainder available for tillaSe, they arc in
most instances inundated by the lowncSS of
prices consequent upon the glut Of lands and
the scarcity of money. The old method OF
raising money by procuring advances ON future
crop, is no longer a resource, owing to the
present prccariousnesS of Farming.
The method of raising money by individual
loans will be treated of in our next issue.

Serious Fire in Philadelphia ted Loss One

The loss is certainly not under one million dol

stories high, and were among the most ornamental

Last night was the fifteenth anniversary of an ina
mense fire ON the same spot on which occasion two
men were killed.
The building in which the fire originated had re-
Gently been purchased by the Evening Bulletin As

publishing house. Their loss is fully insured.
The parties losing by lire and water are Herbert,
Delcrie and Bancr, trimmings John ii. Simmons,
philosophical materials, Bird, billiard saloon, aud
Megarge Co.. paper dealers.
Some thirty persons in the vicinity were arrested
for robbing stores at the time of the fire. One in

the goods taken to the staOn-house is old pair Of

1t is supposed that the total loss will be a
million of dollars, but the amount of the insurance
is large and will probably nearly cover the loss.
The tremen worked mantully, and at one time
were pouring tityCight streams of water on the real

The site of the buildings was formerly occupied
by the old Chestnut street theatre.
