the acts of 1854, 1858 and 1860, and
cannot in any sense be, considered acts
under which the bonds were authorized
to be issued. / therefore conclude that
it is your duty to tissue bonds for the !,
coupons past due on these classes u
Further, am of opinion, that the bonds
issued in pursuance of an ordinance of.
the Convention, ratified June 2sth, 1861, (
for the benefit of the Chatham Railroad
Company, are not embraced in the de-
scription of bonds intended by the act
of Assembly ratified March 10th, 1885,.
You ask, secondly, "what is the duty
of the Public Treasurer in deciding as
to the identity of the coupons?'' AS
no rule has been provided by which you
are to identify the coupons, and as they,
are similar in all respects to the cou-
pons of bonds issued under acts and or
dinance passed after goth May, 1861, I
thinh it will be safe for you to fund only
those that are taken from the bonds in
your presence.
Thirdly, you call my attention to an
= ordinance of the Convention declaring
what laws and ordinances are in force,
and for other purposes, and to the Act
of Assembly ratified March 18th, 1866,
establishing scale of depreciation, and
ask my opinion whether the coupons
ale to be scaled. 49,
Looking at the history of the bill,
which | think, is proper to be consid-
8 cred in giving construction to it, |
am of the opinion, that the coupons can
not be scaled. The bill ratified March
10th, 1866, was introduced, and passed
the House of Commons in December,
1865, and the preamble refers to the
I. report of the late Treasurer, Jonathan
Worth, in which he places the efour clas-
ses above spoken of upon the same foot
ing precisely as the old skies. 1t re.
cites the estimates of the late Treasu-
rer, including the four classes ofcoupons
and the coupons of the old skies, and
then makes provisions for the funding
of all, without any direction as to the
scaling of any. Z

AREA OF THE UNITED STATEs.-Hon.
Mr.. Harlan, Secretary of the Interior, in
recent letter to the Rev. j. G. Fletcher, replied
to a question concerning the territorial ex-
tent of this country, in order to afford the
latter certain data for comparing the area of
Brazil with that of the United States. The
following is the result first in acres:
Total area of the public lands of Acres.
the States and Territories. 1,400, ,549,033
Total area of those States where
there are no public lands, 476,546,560
Area of Indian Territory, "A, 154 ,240
Area of District of Columbia, 38, 400
Grand total of the area of the
United States in acres, 1921 ,28e, ,233
Or, three millions t,co thousand and thirteen
squere miles.
This does not include the area of the great
lakes just within and forming a portion of
our Northern boundary; neither does it in
clude the marine league on the coast.
Brazil, in 1s45, had an area of 3,004, ,450
square miles; but it is estimated that since
the settlement of her boundary lines with
several of the adjacent countries, her area has
increased to 100000 square miles. Euro
peau Russia has an area of 2,142,504 square
miles, and.all the other countries of Europe
have total Of 1857, ,626 square miles.

A recent London letter relates the follow
ing gossip concerning the Geological gardens
and their occupants, showing the danger to
which the least carelessness may expose
"Not long ago a young man too tipsey to
be cautious was poking up with stick the
cobra di cape1o in one of the cages in the ser
pent room at the Geological gardens; the ser
pent darted and touched the man, who died
in exactly ten minutes The wound was OF
the nose, and was such as might have been
with the touch of a needle. The snake was
killed-why knownot- and Mr.. Frank Buck
land, the naturalist, who had charge of the
gardens, was dissecting its body. While
doing so he felt strange sensation coming
over him and he went out of doors and talked
to workman near by, asking him to drag
him to a chemist shop, and beat him to death
rather than let him fall to sleep. They did
pummel him most mercilessly, and dragged
him to an apothecary shop, where he gasped
out sAmmonia!r They piled him with ann
monia and water and he recovered. He does
not know how the poison was communicated,
but thinks he might have cleaned finger
nail with a knife he had used in dissection.
It is curious problem for optimists to con-
slider why such a magazine of destruction as
the cobra exists. Is it a sewer to drain off the
poison Of a whole tribe of other animals, who
are thereby rendered harmless? It is the
fayorite snake with the eastern snakecharmers.
THE PRISONERS AT THE Dry ToRTUGAs.-
A letter received from the Dry Eortugas, on
the Florida coast dated the 25th of the last
month, states that Edward Spangler and
Arnold and OIaughin have been all that
could be desired as regards correct deport-
ment since their Incarceration Spangler has
earnestly and industriously labored in the
carpenter shop; has never been subject to
feprimand in any shape; and though once
or twice indisposed and under treatment in
the hospital, has in each instance returned to
duty before required by regular discharge
He is well, and manifests desire to serve
ont his sentence with patience They are all
well cared for, and are represented to be
more comfortable and enjoying better health,
probably, than if confined in an ordinary
penitentiary. Irons were put upon all the
| State prisoners. four in number, solely on &C.
count of the attempt made by Mudd to es-
! cape. The irons have now been removed,
and all liberty consistent with proper prison
! discipline is allowed them.
