H.ls n. tho Tre..ur1.

Senator Hall made a statement yes
terday in the Senate which may throw
some light on the past financial his
tory Of this State. It appears that
when the money In the State Treasury
was last counted by the Committee for
that purpose, they found the amount
named In the Controllers report on
hand and all correct with the Treasu-
rer. After they had expressed their
satisfaction with the result of the ex-
animation, the Treasurer asked them
II they had any further demands on
him. They answered In the negative,
and were about to leave when the
Treasurer astonished them by asking
what he should do with $40,O 600 more
in his possession belonging to the State.
He produced this additional amount
from the safe, where 1t laid unknown
to any one but tho Treasurer. The
explanation Is this: Under various
statutes passed at different periods,
public moneys in the possession Of
county and other officials are required
to be paid into the State Treasury, but
no provision Is made for notifying the
accounting officers In the Controllers
department. These amounts, sitting
into the Treasury from several sources
since the Inauguration of the present
State officials, have already accumu-
lated into a fund of $40, 900. The Con-
t~roller, Of course, can only keep an
account Of deposits Of which he has
official information. The statutes pro-
viding for no notification, the Con-
t~roller's report consequently can make
no reference to the receipts from these
sources. II this Is a fair illustration Of
the character Of the legislation Of past
years, 1t Is a matter OF little surprise
that our State finances are not in the
most flourishing condition. Whether
this remarkable omission was the re-
suit Of carelessness or design, Is better
known to members of past L.egisla-
lures than to us. Whether 1t be one or
the other, matters little now. The re-
suit of this legislation is apparent. If
100000 can accumulate In the hands Of
q Treasurer In two months ofwhich no
one has any account, how much a
accumulate during the course of ten
years? Perhaps Nevada's State
T%reasursrs have all been as honest as
Is the present official. If they were, it
Is because they were above temptation.
Had Mr.. Schooling been disposed to
take advantage Of his position, he
might have left ut the end Of his term
with a ''stake" of pretty fair dimen-
sions, and no one have been the wiser.
What can be said In defense of these
Republican Legislatures which In years
past made these halls ring with loyal
denunclations, while they left the
doors to the peoples money open In
this style? Senator Hall yesterday
proposed a bill to block up this hole In
the bottom of the treasury, which
passed the Senate Immediately, and we
presume will speedily become a law

sourH PACIFIC RAILWAY.

On the 2lst Of February the House
of Representatives passed the Senate
bill. With some amendments changing
the name of the Texas Pacific Railroad
to South Pacific, Railway. The bill
from the Senate provided for six diff
ferent lines. The amendment provides
for a single trunk from a point on the
eastern boundary of the State of Texas
at or near; Marshall to the ship channel
in the Bay Of San Diego, California,
pursuing the route known as the thirty
second psRllsf'of north latitude. The
Senate ~biLprovided for a gauge of five
feet. This amendment proposes q uni
form gauge, and reduces the capital
stock from 800, 900, 900 to $5o,OOO,O 900.
1t requires the corporators to meet in
New York within ninety days from
the enactment Of the bill, open sub
scription books, and to organize n
company when $2,OOO,O 900 of the stock
is subscribed, and $2O,OO paid in. The
capinls of the company is limited to
&5o,0O0,OoO, unless Congress authorizes
an increase. The purchase and con-
solidation of any existing railroad
companies on the route, with all their
franchises and land grants, Is author
lied, though it is forbidden with any
competing line to the Pacific, and the
right to purchase or accept State or
individual grants of land for legitimate
purposes. The company is conceded a
right Of way four hundred feet wide
through public lands, forty acres Of
land wherever necessary for station
purposes, together with twenty alter
nate sections per mile Of public lands
through the Territories, and ten sec
tions per mile in California Is granted
to the company, with the provision
that the, land not sold within three
years from the completion Of the entire
road shall be subject to settlement and
presumption at not over s. so per acre.
The construction bonds are secured by
mortgage OH the road, rolling stock
and franchises, and the land bonds are
secured by mortgage on the land grants
authorized The construction Of the
road Is to be begun at both ends. Land
patents are to be issued on the compile
ton Of every twenty miles, and the
entire road Is to be finished in ten
years. Only iron or steel rails manu-
featured from American ore, except
that already purchased, are to be used.
The Government is to have the use Of
the road on the same terms as private
individuals, and to have precedence in
its service and Congress has the right
to fix the passenger and freight tariffs,
though they shall not exceed those Of
the Central and Union Pacific Rail-
roads. Full liberty is given other
companies to connect and intersect the
South Pacific, and the latter is for
hidden to discriminate in favor Of or
against any such companies. The Di-
rectors Of the company are forbidden
nll share or interest in the contracts for
the construction, equipment or run
ming Of the road, and any such existing
contracts are annulled. Among the
names Of the corporators we notice
those of Governor A. p. X. Stafford, of
Arizona, and W. n. Leet, Of Nevada.
