STATE EXPENSES.

AS our readers are aware, the
fund in the State Treasury devoted to
general purposes was exhausted several
weeks ago by reason Of the extraordi-
nary demand created by an unusually
protracted session OF the legislature
The exhaustion Of this fund is not an
unusual circumstance, bat, upon the
contrary, the books in the Auditor
Office show that for the six years pre-
ceding the 30th of September, 1872, the
General State Fund was exhausted
every year and more or less money was
borrowed from the School Funds to
meet the warrants drawn upon the
general treasury Of the State. Under
the new Constitution, however, the
Treasurer is prohibited from paying out
OF the School Fund orders drawn for
general purposes, and hence the au.
thorities are compelled to look else-
where for the money that is needed to
defray ordinary expenses.
A few weeks ago $4,000 was bor-
rowed by the Governor to meet current
expenses, the revenues OF the State not
being due at the Treasury until the
middle of January. This sum has now
been exhausted and it is found that
$1,000 more will be necessary to pay
the warrants that may become due
before any considerable sum is received
from taxation. Application was made
to the Wheeling banks last week for
the loan Of this amount and the money
has been sent to Charleston.
Under ordinary circumstances there
need never be any resort 10 temporary
loan of money for the use of the State.
The revenue derived from the present
rate of taxation is ample to deiray the
usual expenses and provide such apS
preparations to public institutions as
may be found necessary. But the fund
Tor general State purposes has been
subjected buriug the past two years to
heavy and unusual demands. In the
first place it has repaid to the school
fund over 10000 which had been Dor
rowed during the last year OF Reputli-
can administration. Then, about S40,-
600 expenses OF the Constitution.
al Convention were paid; and
then the expenses OF an
unusually protrac,ed session OF the
legislature, amounting to at least four
times as much as will be hereafter need
ed for legislative purposes, have been
provided tor; aud all without increas-
ing by single fraction OF a cent the
rate OF taxation. There can therefore
be no reasonable doubt that the Both Of
next September, the close OF the present
fiscal year. will find the present $50, 900
debt entirely paid of, and handsome
balance left in the fund for general
State purposes.

p. w. & X, RAILROAD.

There seems to be no end to the mis.
fortunes of our little P. w. q K. road.
IT'S fluctuations have been heretofore
noted in these columns and now we
learn that the County Court OF Brooke
county is dissatisfied with the recent
deed of assignment aud has ordered the
Prosecuting Attorney Of that comfy to
institute proceedings at once to have
the deed set aside as null and void, in
that it is prejudicial to the interests of
the stockholders.
A freshet last spring destroyed many
thousand dollars worth of work in en-
bankmeuts and fills on the line OF the
proposed road. and the present flood
will pretty nearly finish the roadbed
and restore things to statu quo. An
extension OF the road to the Kentucky
line has been talked Of, but we hardly
expected this to be done 80 soon or in
such O manner as is indicated by the
events of the past ;wenty-four
hours. The P. W. & K. road
bed is being extended in solution all
along the shores OF the Ohio river, and
it is not improbable that some attenu-
ated sections may swell the delta OF the
Mississippi. How many feet OF the
road yet remain as a nucleus for future
operations we can only tell when full
reports come to hard concerning the
effect OF the high water between this
city and the Steubenville bridge.

WE copy from the Sunday Nee's a
dispatch received last Saturday con-
corning proceedings in the legislature
on Friday. The vote in the House in
favor Of extending the session until the
cd seems 20 have been considered q
sort Of trial OF strength between the re"
movalists and the Charlestonians, and
70 have resulted in favor Of the friends
removal We have no doubt that
the present week will be full of excite
ments for the Charleston people and
for the State at large and the result o.
the struggle will be awaited with some
degree OF anxiety.

WE have received copy OF the first

first published last Saturday for the
especial benefit and behoof OF the cltl-

by Mr.. JOHN II. ZEvELY and presents q
very creditable appearance both editori'

OF our best wishes Tor its success. We
commend it to support by the people in
whose midst it is published and for

The Legislature has before it several
bills in relation to the Centennial Expo
sition or Worlds Fair, to be held at
Philadelphia in 1876. West Virginia
ought to be amply represented in the
exposition and a fair showing made oil
her mineral and manufacturing re-
source. We trust that no proper
means NAV be left unemployed to secure
for the State sucn an exhibition OF her
natural wealth as can be properly
made. The exposition will be attend
ed by many thousands of people from
all quarters Of the world and no better
advertisement of the advantages Of this
State can possibly be had than will be
thus afforded.

Justice Howard heard IL case Monday.
between the Mcfarland Safe Co. and
Geo. III. TiSdalc. 1t seems that last
winter TiSdale bought Il safe of the
plaintiff for $50. to he paid for i'm six
and nine months. He found difficulty
III locking and unlocking it, and sent
the lock to the manufacturers, who re-
turned it the first of April, stating that
If 1t did not work right then to ship the
door of the safe to them and they would
make il work right. No more CORES
pondcncc w;s had until into June, when
the safe folks wrote to Tis,lale asking if
the safe WAS all right. Tisdale replied
by offering them 800 for the safe.
stating that if it WAS worth more than
that to them they might have it back.
They declined t" make so large dis
count, re-asSerting that if the lock did
they would make it perfect. Tisdale
answered that if he sent them ANYTHING
he should send the entire safe Thus
matters rested until the 10th of October
W When the safe WAS returned to Boston
The safe company brought suit to re-
cover for their property. The main
question considered 10y the jury WAS.
whether 10y his silence after receiving
