State Treasurer's Depart.
ment.

We are under obligations TO the State
Treasurer for copy of his Report for
ls61. The finances of the State are in a
hourishing condition, and he thinks the
State tax for 1868 can be reduced one mill
less than it was last year, making an az.
gregate lessening of the tax, of about
Sl60 10000. and reduction from the tax
of 1865 of $3.50, 10000.
The statistical portion Of this State pa
per is in the highest degree satisfactory,
bat the remarks are in the inflated style
"Banquo's Ghost" has no business in q
paper treating purely of dollars and cent?
Then the profound remark of last year. Sc
profound that it is quoted i'll this report

best days of Il State or nation, never fail to

one need to be informed that the finances
of the nation is the one great question OF

solved is, how can it best be done. A.
with states. so with individuals. None OF
US need to be told that the question OF
"how to pay our debts occupies the mos,
of our thoughts. But incidentally, the
Treasurer informes the Legislature how IN
part it may meet this question, for he says
Viewed from my standpoint, no consid-
cradle appropriations are necessary
This is good, very good. If the State
makes no appropriations, the Treasurer
wont have any bills to pay. We are told
that tue people believe in the old adage

to the reelection of Mr.. Pike, the present Con-

A New sen.a.ion in Eng:an,l.

The heat in England has been intense,
and their papers are full Of talk about
the weather. Among the phenomena
resulting from this exceptional state Of
atmospheric arrangements is the eoloni-
Zstion of party OF genuine mosquitoes,
which arrived 10 the rigging of y ship
from Bermuda, LANDED at oolwich
DOckyard, placed two marines hOrs du
combat with closed up eyes, and, by the
latest accounts, was advancing on Lon
dan.v The etomolcgists only are in ecs-
tacies at the new arrival. The mosquito
has been hitherto unknown in EDgiAnd.
Ole can imagine the discontinue Of the
cOckneys in their skirmishes with the
q bloody foys.n Nay, the imagination,
taking holder fight, like that of the
mOsqUito), may follow the demnitiOn
insects into kings houses, and view He-
Gracious Majesty striking madiy right
aud Left, as one thSt jghteth the air. Or
we may picture, by the same process of
mental photography, a scene in the
House Of Lords, where the eloquence of
some high old Duke of WindIestraW
is arrested in mid-volley by an unparlia-
msntary bite on his well-cut nose, while
his hearers, wrought into frenzy by the
double bore Of orator and insect, are slap
ping thighs and faces, and with open
hands charging wildly into space after
real or imaginary mosquitoes.
Well, the bold Britons can spare the
blood, and so we wish the mosquitoes q
lively time and many happy returns.
Let them waliz through that bright lit
tie, tight little, bloody" little island
these gay and festive, gore guzzling little
revellers-singiDg their thrilling songs,
and choosing their tap of Howard or
Pisntaganet according TO the turn Of their
loose fancies and the law Of their own
sweet wills.
There Is compensation 10 things gene
rally. 1t may comfort the pestered and
puDctured Britisher 20 know, as he rubs
the swollen cuticle and condemns the
insect that has wrought his disquiet, that
the colonization of the mosquito adds
another to tie permanent Institutions "
OF old Epgland-for where this enterprise
ing insect comes, he comes to stay. He
" sticks" better than Stanton. He will
never leave the land. And every slap
which John Bull aims at him should be
tempered to gentleness by the fact that
the mosquito henceforth becomes one
more important element In that "c0m-
muRity Of Institutions which-with
one or two unpleasant eXeeptions--has
made so much love between England
and America. Let us continue to love
harder-eaeh fighting his own flies and
biting and being bitten.
