ministntion, in the last Independent, admits that

upon the old method of computing the monthly
statement of the public debt His Jore is statis-
ties, aud in getting at the actual condition OF our
national finances he affords great facility
The full statement for April has been publish

the announcement that the two millions Of sur
plus in the Treasury over expenditures ON the
last of March, was increased in April to six mil
lions. 1t further appears that nominally' or on
the plan Of exhibit followed by MeCulloch' the
reduction was between thirteen and fourteen mill
lion dollars but Mr. Boutwell, reckons, and cor

were maintained, the reduction would figure up

n The French journals take the rejection Of
the Alabama treaty and Mr. Summers speech
more coolly than their English neighbors they
conclude that " Matters between the United States
and England stand as they did before the mission

count remains to be closed, and time will come
when the settlement will be again demanded
but the hope Of seeing this settlement arranged in

Bloody Threat Fulfilled.

Some time since delegation of members Of the
Georgia Legislature visited Washington for The
purpose of urging upon the National government
vigorous steps for the reorganization Of the gov
ornment Of that State, The controversy in Gcor-
gia was intensely bitter. Threats Of assassination
were freely made. Brutality and violence were
the characteristics features Of the policy inaugu-
rated By the friends of the existing government.
By their Infamous course the indignation Of the
better class of citizens was aroused, and the con-
spirators Icing mrncd, hestatcd 10 dsscmble
their intentions, and resolved upon the utmost
secrecy The Atlanta Era, however, had given
publicity to the decree of the ruifany crew,
" let them perish by the wayside.'
Steathly that delegation has been. followed,
end inexomhly proceeds the work. DR.. Aver was
the first 10 receive the infection Of the sentence.
And now another falls by the waysde. Jo-
.eph Adkins, while proceeding home in his pri-
yate carriage, is met by an assassin, advancing
from forest shot and instantly killed OF
course, there are pretexts given for these cold
boodcd murders Aver was alleged to have paid
the penalty Of low affiliations and conduct " Ru-
NOR more cruel in its assassinations than steel
or ball-in,olye- Adkins in disrcputoble and
criminal affair." the details Of which have not beer

doubling, The first dispatch announcing the muir
der, lily conceas the sympathy of the sender with
the fearful deed. On the other hand, Il is STATED
that Mr.. Adkins was gentleman of spotles'
character, who stood high in the community
/ And this statement we are bound TO receive, unit
it shall be disproyed The facts are, that til,
members Of the delegation who visited Washing
ton were threatened with assassination.
Two of them have persisted by the wayside
The others are marked. All explanations, ex
cuses, or apologies are vain. They furnish NJ
justification, if true. They are quite likely to b.
false, for an assassin will not hesitate to ialsily
periure himself, IT, by 30 doing, he can avoid an,

RAILROAD CoNsouDA rioN. The Boston Irdr-
eiier, in speaking of the proposition before the
Massachusetts legislature to consolidate the diff
icrent lines of railway between Boston and Lake
Ontario, says Sc We learn that demonstration
will not cease at Ogdensburg, but that it contem-
plates the including Of the roads in Canada and
to points farther West The names of parties
who appear as corporutors in this scheme Will
prove a sufficient guarantee for the honesty of
purpose in the proposition. The committee al
ready look upon it layonby, and there is no
doubt Of full concurrence on the part of both
branches ofthe legislature.
The proposition means simply this, that an un-
broken line under one management can do more
for the interests of Boston than u multiplicity oil
lines, or rather the line divided and apportioned
between different corpomtions, can do
If this is the ''meaning Of the proposition "a
consolidate, it may be a good reason for securing
the favor Of the Massachusetts legislature, but
will it prove so conclusive with the managers ol
the different roads2 The greatest advantage
that occurs to US TO be gained by consolidation
would be the material reduction in the cost o
operating the roads under one, instead of numer
Gus, boards of management while on the othci
hand we have the dangerous power Of such q
gantic corporation, when even one Of the many
has been found almost irresistible But the leg
isatures Of the several States interested must al
so have their say about it.
