further 1 will only add in this con-
nection that hope wholesome public
opinion will be- aroused, so powerful as
to deter even our Legislature, or any
succeeding Legislature, from porpetrat-
ing any further outrage either upon the
taxpayers OF the State or upon her
creditors.
You will observe that my faith in the
validity of the conversion bonds is stead
fast and immovable. I havo never en-
tertained any other opinion of them,
Donbts, however, were entertained by
some parties; therefore, tho Legislature,
in the winter of 1871 and 1872, quieted
and set at rest those doubts by the en-
actment of law known as the "Vali.
dating Act" It declares that tho issue
had been made in conformity to the
true intent Of the laws authorizing the
Governor to borrow money for the
State, and that the acts of the Governor,
the Treasurer and the Secrs.a.T of State
| (now the Treasurer of the State,) who
signed and sealed them, was proper and
valid; and it is worthy Of note here that
the majority of the members OF that Le-
gislatnre who voted for this ACT, were
members of tho preceding Legislature,
and voted for the several Acts which su-
thorized the Governor to borrow m oney.
And it is equally worthy OF note that
the majority Of the members of the pro-
sent Legislature who voted for this
Funding Act, including the conversion
bonds, were members of the last Legis-
lsture, and voted for this Validating Act.
That unfolds tale of legislative leger.
demain which think is without pa
rallel. II the holders Of the old bonds
of the State. or the now ones included
in the Funding Act. see fit, with the full
knowledge of tue facts relating thereto,
to fund them at fifty cents on the dol.

ORE OF TIE sEyENrY-NrNrH REGIMENT.
THE MUSEUM OF ART.
Reopening OF the Institution for the
Season.

Reopening OF the Institution for the
Season.
The fall opening OF the Metropolitan Museum
OF Art took place yesterday after the usual sum-
mer closure. The attendance yesterday was quite
numerous, and during the entire day there was q
constant stream OF ingoing and outgoing visitors.
The attractions OF the museum are greater than
ever, and considering all things, are really quite
respectable. To be sure, when the collections OF
art trophies in European museums are consid-
cred, our museum fades into something like inslg-
ni1cance; yet we can now boast OF some things
that no other city possesses and would very much
like to possess The Di Cesnola collection, which has
obtained such world wide fame Is certainly un-
eyes have been turned with envy to the beautiful
and priceless collection which our Consul brought
with him from Cyprus and 80 generously sold TO
the museum. In other respects, the collection IN
nation; but. after all, IT. Is IN tpe very matter OF
art that the collection Is weakest
The BEST PAINTINGS
belong to private individuals instead.
Since the closing Of the institution there has not
been much change either in the appearance OF the
museum or In the objects with which 1t Is crowded.
Ever since
THE pi CEsNOLA COLLECTION
has been there II has been the main object OF In
terest in the museum. Its value as an alnfot COM
testable and to the sdudnts It Ia invaluable The
many objects OF which 1t consistsi lave been we'll
arranged
1t is to be hoped that during the year the museum
will excite even more general interest tnan IN
years past for 1t well deserves attention. At pres
ent it Is only open In the daytime, but as winter
comes on 1t Is hoped that the example OF last year
will be followed in opening during the evenings.
