Financial Report.
The Commissioners of Emigration publish
financial report purporting to show the condi-
ton Of the large fund entrusted 70 their hands,
and the balance in their possession on The 3Oth
day Of October. According to the figures, this
balance is made to amount to one hundred
and sixty thousand dollars We republsh the
statement, which Ia as follows:-
Balance In bank January ], 1857. s2io72
Aggregate receipts 70 October rs. &3l
Received SINCE 70 October 80. for COM
mutation Of passsnysrs. &c......... ASoc
Total balance and receipts 1872 7os
Disbursements per previous accounts 70 ocso-
Der ~ lso5..... ......'......''.'s''''. e0a'o0'
a.,.ne. n b.,k ...............s Ioo, ISL
We ere disinclned to believe that this exhi-
bit is made to cover up any Official dishonesty;
but it certainly does not present the true con-
dition Of the finances Of the Commission, and is
calculated, II not designed, to mislead the pub
lie. Instead Of having on hand one hundred
and sixty thousand dollars, as this financial
statement would imply, the Commissioners are
in possession Of balance Of several hundred
thousand dollars, although, from the peculiar
manner in which their accounts are kept, It %
not easy to ascertain the exact sum.
In the report now made we are informed
that the balance in the hands of the Commits
sioners on January !, 1867, was twenty-four
thousand dollars. But upon referring back to
their annual report for 1866, to discover how
this balance is arrived at, we find an abstract
Of receipts and expenditures for that year, and
among the disbursements or expenses appears
in United States securities. In this abstract
we are told that the "balance January l.
1866" was twelve thousand dollars, and again
in the report for 1865, we find among the eek
penses," or disbursements, an item Of one
hundred and forty thousand dollars similarly
invested. Looking still further back we dis
cover In 1854 twenty-four thousand dollars,
and in 1868 one hundred and sixty live thou
sand dollars, and similar sums in former years,
all set down as "expended in United States
securities, among items Of salaries, repairs,
horse feed, interments, cartege, taxes and
other OUTLAWS.
BY what rule Of bookkeeping amounts in
vested in bonds Of the United States can be
classified as expenditures and wiped out OF
the balance or surplus fund remaining in the
hands Of the Commissioners, we leave experts
to determine. But we do know, as matter Of
common sense that when the Commissioners
OF Emigration make public statement, show
ing that they have only balance of one hum
dred and sixty thousand dollars in their pos
session, while they have in addition several
hundred thousands of United States bonds in
their hands, covered up by fictitious
balance" they either show an intention to
mislead the people as to their true financial
condition, or prove themselves to be unfit per-
sons to be entrusted with the management and
expenditure Of fund Of nearly one million
dollars year.

File GOyERNOR,s MESSAGE.

The Legislature completed its organi-
cation yesterday, but the message was
not delivered The correspondent of the
Louisville Courier has perused the docu-
ment, and furnishes that paper the fol-
lowing synopsis:
NASHVILLE, October 7.-Gov. Brown
lows message, which will be delivered to
the Legislature tomorrow, is q very long
document, but contains no advice or sug-
gestion of importance, while it embraces a
number of timely and sensible suggestions.
A portion of it is characterized by ex-
IRENE bitterness and uncharitableness
against his political opponents and the dis
franchised whites. After the usual prelimi-
nary congratulations, he proceeds to casti-
gate what he calls the enemies of the State
government, indulging in that harsh Ian
guage 30 characteristic of the man.
The Conservative press both in and out
of the State, and newspaper correspondents
who have not the fear of the Governor be-
fore their eyes, come in for full share of
gubernatorial wrath.
On this point the Governor remarks !:
The Rebels and the so>called Conservative
press of the country waged war upon the
State government; a large corps of news
paper correspondents traversed the land,
and studiously misrepresented every oc-
currence of the canvass, as well as the gen.
eral questions involved in the struggle.
While the Governor does not once offer
the slightest recommendation looking to
extending suffrage to the DISTINGUISHED
whites, he speaks of the odious 10th sec
ton, which disqualifes negroes from hold
ing Office and sitting on juries, and virtually
advises its repeal.
He recommends that the reward ofS5000
offered for the capture of Ex-Governor
Isham G. Harris, be withdrawn, as he con-
| siders some of the Conservative speakers
in the late canvass as worse than Harris,
and just as much deserving of punishment.
The Governor earnestly recommends the
payment of loyal men for losses sustained
during the war. This will involve an ex-
pense of several millions of dollars, but he
thinks that Congress will reimburse the
State for this outlay.
The State militia he warmly defends and
promises to disband them altogether, as
soon as the Rebels in West and Middle
Tennessee behave themselves properly.
The message recommends Legislation
| looking to the protection of negroes who
may have been thrown out of employment,
and compliments colored folks generally
for their unanimity in voting the Radical
| ticket.
1t is recommended that in future, repre-
sentatives to Congress be elected in Otto-
Der or November.
The Governor delivers homily on the
evils of liquor selling and intemperance,
and legislative action, looking to pro-
| hibitory law is recommended.
The appointment of commissioners to
make settlement with the different rail-
roads TO which State aid has been granted
is recommended. Other matters of minor
importance, is referred to, with appropri-
| ate suggestions.

House of REPRESENTATIVES,.

TUESDAY, October 8, 1S67.-The House
met pursuant to adjournment, Speaker
Richards in the chair.
The roll was called, and a quorum being
present, the House proceeded at once to the
unfinished business of yesterday. The first
business in order was the election of En-
crossing Clerk, the second ballot having
terminated at the adjournment Of yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. johnson said grave charges had been
made against Mr.. J. T. Hubbard, candi-
date whom he had nominated for Engross-
ing Clerk, and he desired that Mr.. Hub
bard be permitted to explain himself
Mr.. Taylor said many of the members
had consulted with the gentleman who
made the charges and it was stated that
Mr.. Hubbard had been commissioned
officer in Rebel regiment.
Mr.. Hubbard was not allowed to explain,
and on motion, the House proceeded with
the third ballot for Engrossing Clerk,
which resulted as follows: Hubbard, 0
Clinghan, 10; Snodderly, 10; Ross, 10
Louck, "a; Bokum, 2; Rust, o. Bratcher,
O.; Armstrong, 2; Harris, 5. No election.
On motion, Messrs. Brewer and Hacker,
members Of the House, just arrived, were
sworn in.
The names of Clinghan, Armstrong and
Shodderly were Withdrawn, and the fourth
ballot resulted in the election of Louck by
the following vote: Ross, %; Louck, 43
Harris, 3; Armstrong, l.
The next business in order was the elecN
ton of Principal Doorkeeper. No elee~
ton on the first, second, third and fourth

THE ELECTIoNM VIRGINIA

The following is so much of Gen. Scho-
fields order as relates to the separation
of white and negro voters:
The ballot-boxes will be opened in each
district or ward, in one of which will be
deposited the ballots of all white voters and
in the other the ballots of all colored voters,
and the names of white and colored voters
will be recorded on separate poll books. In
all wards or districts where there are more
than five hundred registered voters, polls
for white and colored voters will be opened
at different places, but these places SHOULD
be conveniently near each other, and, if
practicable, at different doors or windows
OF the same room.
Another paragraph provides that "any
person attempting, by force, fraud or in
timidation, to prevent any qualified
elector from voting freely, will be at once
arrested and subsequently tried by mill
tary commission"

THE JACOBIN PLAN.
A Desperate Revolutionary Pro
GrRmme

Desperate Revolutionary Pro
gramme.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post telegraphs that paper under
date of the End instant as follows:
The Radical leaders now here are boast
ing confidentially among their friends of
the completeness of their plans for the
future. They say General Butler has
already prepared joint resolution declar-
ing that any officers against whom articles
of impeachment shall be preferred, shall
be suspended from Office during trial upon
the charges preferred. Immediately fol-
lowing the passing of this resolution articles
of impeachment will be rushed through
the House under a call for the previous
question, and Mr.. Wade will be sworn into
Office as acting President of the United
States. Your correspondent inquired of one
of these gentlemen how they proposed
securing to Mr.. Wade the Presidential
chair after he had been sworn in at the
Capitol? On that point he said there was
some doubt, as General Grant had given
them no assurances as to which of the two
Presidents he would recognize, but in the
event of a refusal on his part to espouse
their cause, they had the militia of the
Northern States to fall back upon, as well
as their own powerful organization, the
Grand Army of the Republic, large por-
ton of which will be found in Washington.
l suggested that the success of the Conser-
vatives in the fall election would probably
cause change in their programme. He
replied, "No, it will only necessitate the
greater firmness and quicker action" He
also remarked that it was believed Mr..
Johnson would resist, but that the little
power of resistance which had been left him
by Congress would not be difficult to over
come. Such is the desperate programme
of the revolutionists, and have positive
assurance from those who know that it will
be strictly carried out.

Ex-Gov. SEYMOUR, of New York, in
assuming the chair as President of the
recent State Convention Of the New York
Democracy, thus refers to the evil prin-
ciple and precedent which gave origin to
the demoralized social condition under
which the country is suffering 1t is
terribly true lie said:
The public is startled with unusual vio-
lence and murder throughout our land.
Men, and women, too, kill those who have
done them no wrong, life and property have
become unsafe. Oar people learned 10 do
these things from those who should have
taught reverence for the laws. The seeds
which were sown when men were i'm
prisoned, mobbed and murdered because
they honestly differed from the party in
power, are now springing up in an abundant
harvest OF crime, which plaques and curses
those who were actors in violence or con-
senung witnesses to outrage upon their
nelghbors. IL, when an unworthy Secre-
tary OF State boosted to the representatives
Of kingly power that American liberty was
a sham, and that he could do what Brit
aims monarch dare not, imprison without
warrant and punish without trial veal,
and wicked vanity had been 6ttipglv
whipped by justice, the foodgates Of vio-
lence would not have been opened. But

Balloting for Doorkeeper was taken up,
and Richard Chandler was elected on the
eighth ballot.
The next business in order was the cleo
ton of Assistant Doorkeeper.
Seven candidates were placed in nomina-
ton. The contest was close between VIM.
Sumner, (colored) and Mr.. Thompson, but
resulted in the election of Sumner on the
fourth ballot, by vote of 40.
The Clerks were sworn in, and the House
being organized, the rules of the last session
were adopted. On motion it was ordered
that two hundred copies be printed for dis
tribution among the members.
A resolution was then adopted that the
Senate be informed that the House was or.
ganized and ready to proceed with business.
On motion, adjourned until tomorrow at

he was upheld and horde of robbers and
brutal men drunk, with unusual power,
were organized as spies and detectives, and
let loose upon the pablo. The spirit of
cowardly and criminal violence that was
sent out from the Department of State, in
time stalked back into the chamber of the
Secretary in the foul form of the assassin.
Murder, robbery and arson afflict the peo-
pie who did not care what wrongs were
done to their neighbors. If we would avert
Gods just judgment, let us all try to bring
back reverence for the laws which our
fathers left US az heritage and which we
have wasted. 1t was not courage, but
eowardice which made the Administration
trample upon laws, courts and home rights,
and made Judges trail their ermines in the
dust

MAYOR HOFFMAN, of New York, in his
speech a day or two since before the
Democratic State Convention, made n
capital reply to the speech of Radical
Senator Conkling The following was one
of his "palpable hits: :"
| shall not initiate the poetic license and
the fine frenzy of the distinguished Radi-
cal Senator who presided over the conven-
ton recently assembled in Syracuse.
[Laughter.l l shall not talk to you as he
did of the cred Eye Of Battle" which
glared furiously at Syracuse then, and
which words have become historic in con-
nection with that subject ever since. He
told those assembled there, and, through
them, the people of the State, that the
leaves had not fallen ten times since the
banner Of his party was unfurled but he
did not call attention TO the fact that Of
American lives there had fallen ten hun
pred thousand since he and his party had
placed the country under the despotic rule
Of the Puritan and the negro. Great APP
