FROZEN TO DEATH.-A Mr.. Parker,
from Corinth, who is foolish and some
what crazy at times, although harmless,
wandered from the poor farm, which was
his home, and came by the Centre of
West Fairlee, on Wednesday night of
last week. Here he was permitted to
sleep in the barn of a Mr.. Wise, but in
the night he got up and took to the road.
He seemed to the people on the road,
who were awakened by his loud language,
as some one who drove cattle or sheep
he was seen to pass some houses, but
had no cattle in front of him, although
he ran from one side of the road to the
other continually, and used such Ian
guage as is common with drovers. He
passed down the road towards Post Mills,
about four miles, then turned across the
bridge at the mouth of Middle Brook,
taking the road toward the river. Search
was made for him, and on Saturday be
was found by Ira Melenda, few rods
from the road, in the bushes, frozen to
death.

Deficit In the state Revenue.

During the course Of the debate In
the Kentucky Legislature on the question
of appointing commissioners to revise
the revenue laws, Mr. Simmons stated
that the State, at the close of the present
session, would be half million dollars
in debt, without one dollar to pay it. He
stated that he was willing to vote tax
on the people to pay these debts, and it
was bad policy on the part of other
members TO say that they would vote
appropriations from the treasury, aud
then borrow the money to pay them.
Mr. Chrisman said thatit was lament
able fact that the Legislature was ma
king sundry appropriations without a
dollar in the treasury to Fay them. He
thought there had been peculations on
the treasury, and he had done all he
could to prevent it. In the proposition
to sell the turnpike stock of the State, it
had been agreed, at one fell swoop, to
sweep away two millions of the money
of the people. When it was just begin
ming to pay good revenue into the treas
ury, it was put upon the market 10. 90
into the hands of spectators and others
lie favored the sale Of the State bonds,
and the change of the basis of taxation
from gold to currency basis. This is
but levying a tax, indirectly instead OF
directly, for to increase the value OF
property is only to increase the taxes, as
the higher property is valued. the great
er the amount of taxes gathered from it
Mr. Spalding did not consider that any
repayment of the sum borrowed from the
sinking fund by the revenue fund $780,
000) was necessary, unless the former
was SO straitened that it needed it.

.arcons by the Governor.

Saws the Henderson Reporter, the con-
stitution of the State of New York re-
ouires the Governor to make an annual
report to the Legislature of the number
of pard ,ns, combinations and reprieves
he has given during the year, with the
date of each one, the name OF the con-
vict. and the crime for which he was SEN
fenced. Under this constitutional pro-
vision. Governor Hoffman recently re-
ported that he had considered more than
a thousand applications for pardon the
mast wear. out of which he had granted
eighty FIVE, and gave in each case the
grounds on which he was led to relieve
men who had been condemned to punish
ment under the law. We read the paper
with interest, and were struck with It's
business like manner, and the solidity OF
the reasons on which the Governor acted
and we think it a pity that we have not
a similar provision in our constitution,
that the people might see wherefore the
verdicts of juries, and sentences of the
law, are SC. often nullifed by the execu
tive power.

The Tennessee RAILROADS.

The great ChaDcery suits OF the State
against the delinquent roads Is attracting
a great deal of attention. The holders of
Tennessee securities in the East are
closely watching the progress of the liti-
cation, as the varying fortunes OF the
suit will have much to do on change with
the value of the State bonds, which are
so heavily dealt in there 1t is not likely
the case will be called up for initiatory
hearing under several days, as answers
are still being filed. The chief points
relied upon by the respondents are to
the effect that the State, By the internal
improvements act of 1852, provided two
remedies in case of failure on the part
of the roads receiving State aid to meet
the requiremets of the law. First, where
theinterest was promptly met, the appoint
ment of a Receiver to take the receipts
and rents of the road, and apply them
to the payment of interest. The other,
that when any road, at the maturity, OF
the bonds, shall fail to pay the principal,
such road shall be sold. 1t is claimed
that the law passed by the last Legisla
ture, providing for the sail of the roads
is unconstitutional, as it is after legisia-
tion. and none of the bonds have yet ma
tured. Another point made prominent
if alleged illegal issuance OF bonds, on
the part of the State officials.
The case of each road differs in some
particulars from all the others, so that
each respondent makes in some sort
special answer. The great questions In
volved, as we'll as the immense interests
at stake, combine to make this chancery
suit one of the most important and mem
orable ever heard in the South.
