Stopping the Leaks.

Whatever the folly and extravagance OF
the majority Of the members OF the State
Legislature, it is cheering sign that there
should be n knot of lawmakers in each
house who, if words count for anything, are
bent on the stoppage of leaks, the pre-
ventlon of any increase OF the public debt,
and the arrangement of the existing DEBT
upon an economical basis.
A whole batch of financial bills, all look
ins to the improvement OF the State credit,
were reported in our issue OF Monday. In
the Senate resolution was adopted requir-
ing the committee of ways and means to see
what arrangements. were made Tor the sale
custody of the public property under the con-
troll OF the comptroller general A bill was In
troduced to amend the acts providing for the
keeping and disbursing OF money by public
officers. Notice was given of bill for the,
extinguishing OF the floating debt OF the
State, and of joint resolution directing the
manner in which the credit of the State shall
be loaned. Notice was given OF bill to
provide for the cancelment of the 81, 600, 600
of the Blue Ridge Railroad bonds guaran-
teed by the State; also OF a bill to create a
sinking fund for the redemption of the State
debt. A joint resolution was introduced
providing that the State credit shall not
hereafter be loaned unless by the consent OF
two-thirds of the qualified voters, and res
olution was also introduced requiring that
one Of the Trust Companies of New YORK oe
selected as the registry for State bonds. AT
the same time railroad charter was grant
ed, but with the express stipulation that
nothing contained in the charter should be
construed to bind the State to subscribe to
the stock of the road, or to give it any Imam :
cial help. In the House bill was intro
ducs to create Sterling Funded Debt Tor
the absorption Of the present debt, which
bill provides that no new debt or obligation
shall be created without the sanction OF a
two-thirds popular vote.
These were the financial propositions re-
ported by us on Monday last, and they all
indicate that there is o Sc tied purpose TO
improve the credit and standing OF the State.
Governor Scott, we are assured, is deter
mined that no new debt shall be put upon US,
and it is believed that enough members sup
port bis views to make any further jobblng
in State bonds practically impossible. In all
this there may be no higher motive than q
desire to run up the price OF Stale bonds to
80 or 90. But, in any event, it is to the in
terest OF the people to keep the debt where
it is, and to maintain the Executive and the
Legislature in whatever reasonable plan has
that one end in view. Half loaf is better
than none. II the Railroad Rings and bond
iobbers are killed this session, we may be
able next year to slice down the enormous
current expenses of the State.
