Financial Condition OF the State.


In quiet and unpretentious way the state
of Mary land is growing in wealth and making
substantial Improvements, ranking her really
among the most prosperous OF tue Atlantic
STATES. Her fibancial affairs, we see by an ex'
hibit sent 10 us py prominent citizen Of that
State, are in notably healthy condition. By
this exhibit we fiud Lne exact debt of the State
to be Sll,7l2, 100 As, and as an offset to this
debt she holos stocks for the sinking fund
amounting 10 81 ,59l 500 II, and productive
stocks, on which she receives interest or
dividends amounting to S5 5i74 40. making
total of stocks held by the State 81 1877 99 H. aud
on which she receives interest aud dividends
amounting TO 1923 GA 90, equal to the intereSt
on S7,l43 9Ol so of her debt which, deducted
from her entire debt, will leave 81 595 2sS 05, on
which she has to provide interest. AS "a fur
ther offset TO this debt of $456S 2S6 95-on which
she has to provide the interest-sne holds uu-
productive stocks and balances due by account.
Ing officers amounting TO $50 COL 926 So which. If
put on the market, would realize lin round
numbers, at the lowest figures, $4,000 0o)
Therefore 1t can safely be said tnat the State
has no debt but, on the contrary, holds stocks
sufficient II put in the Market to not only pay
her entire debt, but leave in the treasury sur

Special Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph.
New YohK Dec. 5.-The gold market here
this morning is unusually excited and feverish.
The opening price was 1863. About IL O'Clock a
report reached the Cold Room that private tele-
grams from Paris had been received here dated
this morning, announcing that's riot had broken
out in Paris, in consequence of q collision be-
tween the French Government and the press. 1t
is difficult 10 ascertain whether this news is
true or not, but it has materially affected the
market and the price of gold has suddenly ad-
vanced to 1863. Henry Clews d Co., of Wall
street, this morning before the advance in gold
purchased all the Government gold offered for
sale by the Sub Treasurer; the amount was
100000, and the price paid 135'43. Another
rumor is current of the death of Napoleon, but
the statement is considered absurd, aud is pos
slbIy trick OF the gold clique 10 advance the
premium in Wall street.

held to bail in the sum of $1,000 to APP

seems, is the inventor of the main features
of the lock in use by the Postofice De-
partment. The Department, he claims,
has infringcd upon his rights by adding a
perfectly unnecessary feature to the lock.
He has for long time been seeking to
make case to bring the matter before the
courts, and recently, acting under advice,
he exposed some of the locks of his own
manufacture in his window for sale. The
bait took and he was arrested, and thus
get the case into the courts where he Is
confident of being able to show that the
government is infringing upon his patent,
and to recover damages.
