More superintendent Literature.

A peculiar people most certainly are
the County superintendents Of Public
Schools in the interior Of this "young and
growing Commonwealth" They write
as no School supelintendents ever wrote
before since the discovery Of the art oi
letters. We gave sample Of their unique
style as illustrated by communication In
tho Upshur county paper from the Super
intendent there, and now here Is another
sample from the pen Of the superintend'
ent in Preston county, as found in com.
municatlon In the Kirkwood journal on
the subject Of schools; Tsr. u
VI claim the growth and prosperity ol
our State, the intelligence OF our citizens
Is embodied In the success or downfall OF
our public schools, and the success o.
our public schools rests upon the IN
tranimelcd and unimpeded course In the
embodiment Of separate and hxed cor.
porations, and independent Of other cor
porated capacities"
Now II is bad enough for the superin-
tcndant to leave the public all IN doubt
as he does, whether ills in the success OIL
downfall OF tour public schools" that the
growth and prosperity Of the State Is te
consist without going on to say that theil
success RESTS upon the unrammeled Ant
unimpedcd course in the embodiment o.
a separate and axed corporations and In
dependent oIother corporated capacities
There is something in this occult sen
tence Of Importance no doubt It the word
could only be Strengthened out by somt
competent soothsayer or cSbalIst, or othel
penetrating sort Of q person, and put int
plain English. But these County Super
intendents have no use for plain English
Their ambition Is 10 stun the rural popu
lation with . display Of their vast erudl
tion.

Mr.. Camden Rises to an Explana-
tfon. 49, - -, z

BY the Charleston Courier of'the 14th
we see that the honorable Senator from
Harrison county rose to q question OF priv,
ilege on the 18th and sent to the Clerks
desk q copy Of the INTEIIldENcER oi the
sth, containing q dispatch rom theyigilant
"ToMAnAwK" in regard to Mr.. BENNETs
announcement Of the bankruptcy Of the
Treasury OF the State, and the request Of
CAMDEN and JOHNSON that he should
moditythe remark. The honorable Sen;
ator claims that the dispatch in question
and our remarks thereon did him ipjus-
tice, and proceeded, as the late Mr.. BEN.
TON once remarked, 10 "ipjecta q stump
speech into the body" of his explanation
by expatiating upon the condition Of the
Treasury and the heritage Of expenses
entailed upon It BY the ! Radicals, 7 The
gisto hiscxplanstion however, SO far as
1t co.rec.s the dispatch and editorial, Is
as follows:
Mr.. Camden resumed and said: Sena.
tors will recollect, that what occurred on
the occason referred to is'misrepresented,
both in the dispatch and the editorial. he
never "begged" the Senator from Lewis
to "retractn what he said, "as 1t would
be used against the Democratic party"
or used any remarks Of similar import
The Senator from Lewis had said that
the funds appropriated for the current ex.
penses Of the government were exhaust
ed, and that the Treasury was bankrupt.
In reply, he (Mr. Camden) said that the
Treasury was not bankrupt; that the
finances OF the State are as healthy and
satisfactory as usual at this time of the
year, and perhaps more so; that the State
was amply able, and could command at
any time funds to meet any demand that
might be made against 1t, and requested
the Senator from Lewis to modify his re.
marks, lest they might tend to mislead
and produce an unnecessary excitement
at this extreme crisis In monetory affairs.
The Senator from Lewis responded, that
he adhered to what he had said, that the
Treasury was bankrupt" .'tF2

And there remains liability OF, say. $ls,osa 81
This showing is only up to the let Of
this month. It Is estimated that further
liability to the extent OF several thousand
dollars has accrued against the company
up TO date. In all, It Is computed that
the company owes In round numbers
$4,000, or, deducting stock subscriptions
still unpaid and other solvent claims Of
say 100000, 1t will owe net liability Of
about $4,000 over and above Its means Of
payment.
There Is q contest in Brooke county be-
tween the company and some Of the pri.
vate subscribers 10 the stock who claim
that they are not liable for their subScrip.
tlons on the ground that 1t was understood
at the time Of subscribing that their SUBJ
scriptions would not be called for. In
other words, that they were not made in
good faith, but only for effect on the pub
lie. One case, involving perhaps all the
others, has already been disposed OF by
Judge MELVIN, who has decided against
the claim set up and in favor OF the COM
pauy, 1t Is fair to presume, therefore,
that all the stock subscribed will be col
ected so far as the subscribers are good
Tor the amounts affixed to their names.
The principal liabilities ofthe Company
are, Of course, to their contractors. Fol-
instance they owe 10 ALBERT YOUNG
& Co. over $4,000; to J. K. MILLER
&Co. some three thousand; to THOMAS
CuRRRN about $500; to CAvANNAdH 4
WILSON about $4,000; and to THos SEA
BROOK, JR., about $4,000. These arc the
principal claims against them. They owe
minor claims to the amount Of several
thousand dollars. In Wheeling we notice
that they owe to @. D. HUBBARD abou,
$500, and to THOMPSON & HBBERD
$40.
The future Of the Company and Of tht
road Is all matter oil conjecture at pres

some Company will sooner or later takt
hold Of the road and finish 1t. Too much
money has been spent and too much val

Panic.
For the last day or two there have
hapn rumors on the street that this Com
osnv was in trouble, and could not meet
iYlissilities. Upon inquiry yesterday al
,ernoon at the headquarters Of the Com
o.py, we found that there was uniortu-
nately TOO much truth in these rumors,
and that the Company had actually found
itself unable for the present to proceed
furtber In It's operations, and that 1t had
concluded to make what may be called an
assignment, for the benefit Of Its creditors
as the simplest and most effective solution
Of It's difficulties.
The Company is forced to this step for
the lack Of a sum not exceeding $4,000.
This amount would finish the work, ac-
cording to contract with the PisssbaFga'
Cincinnati & 81. Louis Railroad, and this
amount could have been obtained easily
enough from that company but for Its own
embarrassments growing out of the dis
ss,ers that have lately fallen upon the
Pennsylvania Company. But 1t seems
that these embarrassments are so serious
that Il could not advance even so small q
sum as $4,000 to connecting road which
# expected to equip and run ere long,
even although more than three hundred
and seyenty.five thousand dollars had
been already invested in tho road. in
the way oil stock, that would have
been liable for the loan. This fact shows
what a stringency has overtaken the
company under whose auspices the Pitts
burgh, Wheeling & Kentucky Railroad
was organized, and to what straits 1t must
bs reduced for means to meet It's own
liabilities. s. '
We are not able this morning to fur
nish our readers with an exact exhibit Of
the receipts and expenditures Of the Pitts
burgh, Wheeling & Kentucky Railroad,
but we are promised one within day or
two. The book.keeper OF the Company
Is now at work preparing such an exhibit
and has it nearly ready for inspection.
When prepared 1t will show, substan-
tally, the following facts: That Ohio
county has paid to the Company $780,
900, and Brooke county $l15,OO0, in the
way OF subscriptions, and that, in add.
ton, there are paid and unpaid pri-
vate subscriptions and other assets
on the books oi the Company, to
tho extent Of say $4,000, all Of which
foot up an aggregate in the way OF re-
sources OF atleast $375,000.
Of this $S75OoO some $36O.oOO have
actually been paid in and expended as
