THE STATE TREASURY.
Report of the Joint Committee on
the Condition Of the State Treasury
and the Transactions of the Treas
urer During his Official Term.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives:
We, the undersigned joint committee of
the two houses, who were appointed to set
tie the accounts of the State Treasurer, have
discharged that duty, and ask to submit the
following report:
After examining the books and papers in
the Treasurers Office, and comparing them
with statement Of receipts and disburse-
ments furnished US by the Comptroller from
his Office, we End that John r. Henry,
Treasurer, received from s. W. Hatchett,
former Comptroller, the amount turned over
to him by L. l.. Stanford, former Treasurer,
to wit: two hundred and seventeen thou
sand eight hundred and fifty-four dollars
and twenty-One cents ($2I7, ,854 2I), of
which there was in the Tenth National
Bank of Memphis S34, OPS 81, and in uncur-
rent funds IN the treasury S3ll Ga We
also find that John r. Henry received into
the treasury on Comptrollers warrants,
from the lst of January, 1867, to the 3 lst of
October, 1868, 81, ,36l ,355 %, making whole
amount of receipts 81, ,579, ,2O9 43. We find
he has disbursed, from the 1st of January,
1867, to the 3lst of October, 1868, on Comp
trollers warrants, the sum of 81, ,424 2S2 O2,
which shows an actual balance in the treas
ury, on the 3lst of October, 1868, of the
sum OF Sl04, ,90I Al. 1t viii be seen that
the Comptroller, IN making his statement
includes the amount, Overdrawn in state
ment made October Let, 1866 Of S300I6 81,
and amount advanced to the Assembly of
81, ,932 "a, which added to the above, makes,
as Comptroller reports, $l86 $40 So; but
said amount Of $3l, ,949 Is, was settled in
the settlement made with r. l.. Stanford,
former Treasurer
Your committee also find that the Treas
urer has received from S. w Hatchett,
former Comptroller, on account of what is
known as the school fund, S298,O22 y, Of
which $4,000 is IN United States securities.
The balance of said fund, except,
S9r35z Il, was used in payment Of interest
on the State debt, and the amount so used Ia
IN coupons Of the bonds Of the State of
Tennessee, which your committee recon.
mend to be funded in six per cent bonds of
the State, and the interest thereof to be
d zrributed for the use Of common schools
our committee further state that IL is
impractieable to close the settlement fully
until the successor of the present Treasurer
has been elected and qualified. They have
therefore carried this settlement to the 3lst
Of October, 1868, and propose TO conclude
the same so soon as the present incumbents
successor is qualified to take charge Of the
Office.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
JOHN NOR5fAN,
Chairman Senate committee.

Chairman on part of the House

Too Much GovERNlRNT.-It is best that
children should not be too strongly governed.
1t is the same in families as in nations Too
much government defeats the object we wish
to accomplish. 1t is the duty of parents to
be what they desire their children to be. A
mothers example should be her daughter s
constant guide. 1t is unwise to obsere too
closely slight faults How few there are
that can bear rigid cross examination. There
is nothing mother should so much coyet
and SO much prize, as the unreserved conf
dence of her daughter. But to gain and re-
tain this confidence, we must live the life we
profess. Nothing does child more harm,
nothing can impart to a mother greater
grief, than the loss of this touching and
tender relation which brings the daughter to
the mother in confession of her error, or
which would prevent her return, even upon
a repetition of her fault with the hope of
counsel and forgiveness which encouraged
her first appeal. A child should never be
made to suffer the agony of a mothers final
condemnation. Reconciliation should never
be impossible
