Of the trio passed into the Office after him,
while the third remained at the door. The two

G. & 0. R r. CREDrToRs.-A meeting of
gentlemen Of this city representing various
classes of Indebtedness by the &. 4 o. r. r.
Company, was held ut the Carrullton Hotel
last Monday, Mr. q. P. Huntington, of New
York, the president of the road, in the chair.
The proposition made by the company to the
boDdholders some time since Of funding the
floating debt, which Is now more than S., O0O,-
00O and portion of the interest on its mortgage
debt, in income bonds, to be paid out Of the
net earnings Of the road, was freely discussed.
The agreement generally accedcd to Was that
holders of the companys notes secured by six
per cent bonds take bonds held as coaterals
and fund their interest," aud that holders Of
notes secured by seven per cent bonds surren-
der the bouds and take Income boBds at eighty
FIVE to the amount OF their notes. The presi-
dent announced that about $l2, 900, 600 OF the
entire debt had come into this agreement, and
felt assured that could the agreement be made
universal the road which before the panic had
more business than its rolling stock allowed,
and had contracted for fifty four new ocumo-
tives the line being now completed from Hunt
iegton to Richmond, distance Of four hundred
aud twenty miles, would not only be placed on
a firm basis, but the work on the extension to
Louisville would be enabled to commence i'm
uEuldlely. llC lullllcl SldlCu llldl lC UluStll
as the largest creditor of the company felt coU-
confident that if relieved from immediate de-
mands in the mode proposed, the company
would be able to meet,a all OF its obligations. He
closed With the statement that of. 81 900, 900,
the amount necessary to complete the road bed
to Louisville. 81 100000, had been subscribed,
aud the eighty-slx miles ofiron could be paid
for out Of first mortgage bonds to be issued
thereafter Ball. San ser. ...
THE BARGE 10 front of the Arapiles has been
surveyed by divers. That is the turthest they
have gotten at present. The Spanish Captain
has written to Admiral Rowan, expressing his

the account given by ,Layard, We believe, of
the Arab work meu 10 raising au in beddcd statue
at Nineveh. First, it is uncovered; then the
workmen gathered around and discussed the
matter; then they sent for their friends and
held council; that concluded, they broke up
aud went to dinner. Next, they all came back
and demanded extra wages for the increased
exertion. Not getting them they became angry,
and went off and stayed day. When they
came back they took another survey, and so
they went on until they tuay managed to dig
the statue out. Thus alternating, they took
month to do what gang of lrlshmen would
do 10 TWO days. Thus, also, the coal barge will
be raised 10 time, after the Arab fashion. :

The FINANCIAL SITUATION "A Washington
dispatch says Both Senators and members
of the House continue to look upon the pre-
sent financial condition Of the government with
the greatest interest. This feeling on the part
of the majority is mixed with anxiety and APP
prehensiou, as it is generally conceded that the
future of the republican party is to great de-
gree bound up in the ultimate solution of the
financial difficulties which now distress both
government and people. 1t is feared by the
members of the dominant party that any con-
siderable increase OF taxation, no matter on what
pretext, will be the prcsagc Of disaster to them.
The desire to avoid laying on any more taxes
by resortng to temporary loans is growing
stronger, aud is the method to surmouut the
present difficulties Of the govcrnment favored
not only by most of the republican mcmbcrs OF
the ways and GIeaus committee, but also Ivy the
chairman and other members OF the finance
committee of the Senate. Mr.. Sumner, who.
it is now apparent, has elected to continue his
''independ, Mt attitude, has no notion Of ceas-
ing his cry Of down with the taxes, what
ever may be the straits in which his fellow clti-
zen, the Secretary OF the Treasury, may be
placed Right Oh the heels of Mr.. Richard
sons appeal for more taxes, Mr. Sumner steps
10 With proposition to abolish the whole 10.
teruuI revenue machinery. Any movement to
levy more taxes will be resisted by hun with
almost if not quite as much tenacity and v!sor
with which he urges the adoption OF his sup
Elementary civil rights. But. as remarked,
there seems to b. little disposition to put on the
taxes The minority will as unit resist 1t,
aud the majority will ouly consent to 1t after ali
other expcdients have failed

The Management ofthe Public Funds
ofWest Virginia. aat Y 2

Before this Legislature adjourns we
trust that 1t will be It's pleasure to appoint
4 committee ol experienced, capable and
honest men to examine into the manage.
uept Of the public funds. There has
been enough talk both at Charleston and
elsewhere 10 justify the appointment Of
such committee. A recently published
exhibit as to where the funds are kept
and the amount Of interest paid by each
dspository Is Of such character as oi
Itself to call for an explanation, saying
nothing whatever Of the talk alluded to.
nIss noticeable festure OF the exhibit
referred to that It shows that two small
banks Of this State, that pay less interest
than any ol the rest, hold nearly one
third Of It's funds on deposits, while more
responsible banks that offer to pay more
interest are put of with comparatively
small amounts. In other words, there are
two comparatively small banks at Charles
Ton ,ha. pay the State but 81 per cent in.
,erest that hold over $7o,O O00-between
them, while all the banks in Wheeling do
not hold over about $15,0 ,000-notwith-
standing one OF them pays per cent in
,erest TO tho State, and the rest Of them 8
per cent ~ 11'''3 - 4 ~. 81
Now what is. wanted Is q committee
that will explain this Circumstance fully
and satisfactorily to the people, because
II il peculiarlty that needs explanation.
We do not say that i could not be ex-
planned satisfactorily, but We respectfully
submit that il 1t Can, the fact should be
made manifest at once! .a,. .; = - Z !; NJ.
10 order that the Legislature may see
what we mean by this reference, and also
iully understand what we want to'get at,
we herewith subjoin the following table,
showing in what banks the money Of the
State Is deposited, or was few weeks
ago, and the amount Of interest that is
paid into the Treasury by each one Of
them. The list Is as follows:

is quite willing to be considered a
guardian Of the public interests. Let him
show whether he Is such q guardian or
not by seeing that the mystery surround
ing the management Of the State funds Is
fully cleared up and explained to the
people. ,' Il irs i.as 81.

special committee for this examination,
