II has been known here by those en- rapport
with Governor Kemper that he Is preparing mes.
sage 10 the General Assembly on the financial con-
ditton OF the States subject Of great ntricacy and
the rock on which Governor Walker stranded. The
Governor Is understood to have most decided views
on the question OF the State debt and the hesrta.
ton In the delivery Of these views has resulted
rather rom prudential caution in the mode and
time OF presentation than from any want OF con-
ndence IN the integrity Of the plan to be pre-
sented. without entering up0n details, his gen.
eral proposition " understood to be to reduce all
the dierent classes Of debt into one and TO issue
in lieu thereof the bonds OF the state, either TO
bear six per cent on the market value OF the ex :
listing bonds, assuming that to be $50 per share,
or three per cent on the present par value.
The plan proposes that commissioners are to be
appointed by the Governor, charged with the DUTY
OF laying before the creditors OF the State her la
bilities ner assets the causes OF her inability to
meet her obligations and the depressed condition

OF equity and right. 1t Is fact that Virginia has
endeavored 70 give to her creditors not only the

concealed that her ability is not equal 10 her will
1t has already been demonstrated that sne cannot
meet four per cent on her debt and carry on the
government, and IL Is painfully felt that her peo-
pie bear no addition TO their present taxation
1t is also belle ved that the Governor will recon-
mend an application TO Congress for loan, which,
with the compromise hoped for with her creditors,
will bring that relief so greatly needed by this
people--an application which can hardly be re-
sisted, since her means to meet her Obligations
nave been destroyed ~ the war. The application
might rightly be made In Congress, 1t Is believed
to assume their obligation; but the Governor pro-
poses simply q loan OF the bonds OF the general
government, which are to be returned as soon as

clear that she cannot comply with this law, unless

The TIchborne Case-ItsH History Epitomized

After the Tichborne trials, people must over
haul and revise their ideas of the impossible.
Nothing has ever been attempted so absurd, so
insane, one may almost say, as the scheme of the
Australian butcher to make himselfa baronet and
millionaire by simply lying. lie had hardly a
single point to begin work upon. a young
gentleman had been drowned at sea, who
was heir to a title and a great estate. His
friends, convinced Of his death, gave his
heritage to the next of kin, and in despair,
advertised for the missing one. The adyer-
tisement coming to the eyes of butcher in Aus
tralia, he resolved to personate the lost son.
There was not one chance in a million that he
could succeed. There was no accidental resem-
blance of person, ofmanner, or ofcharacter. Mr..
Nasty tried to get a drink once, at Willard's
Hotel, by saying he was Charles Sumner. But
this attempt was no less ridiculous. The baronet
was a little, delicate Is scrubby' man. The claim
ant was a man-mountain, weighing 260 pounds.
The baronet spoke French moro readily than
English the claimant did not know one word of
the language. Sir Roger belonged to a wide
spread family connection, of which the claimant
had never seen a member. Yet he confidently
sailed for England, and for seven years fought the
desperate fight which has ended in his conviction
as a felon, with a varying success, which must
always remain a wonder to succeeding ages. His
trial has changed mems opinions as to the worth
of human evidence. Dozens OF witnesses, among
whom was Sir Rogers mother, testified that this
was the rightful heir. Several members of Par
lament espoused his cause. Popular subscrip-
tions assisted. lost by two things-by his own
statement in regard to Mrs. Radcliffe, which all
England cried out could not have been made by q
man born a gentleman, and by the evidence of
Lord Bellew, who said he had tattooed Sir Roger
in his boyhood. Remove these two comparative
" unimportant incidents from the case, and it is
not impossible that the craziest crime against rank
and property ever attempted might have succeed.

the suit was afterward dismissed as against
all but Messrs. Blue Keefe, Boyd, and Locke
The main point TO be established was, as to
whether the company was a corporation,
and If so organized under the laws of the
state. 1t was found that there was no such
company as the United States Live Stock
company, with its headquarters in New
York, as previously has been supposed and
no law authorizing such organization in In
diana. The principal points of the case are
presented as follows: "That the defendants
claim TO be the officers and stockholders of
PRETENDED CORPORATION
Called the United States Accidental Live
Stock insurance company, Indiana branch,
which they claim has been organized under
the laws of the state of Indiana. Plaintiff
says that the defendants have not Organized
a corporation of the assumed name under
the laws of the state of Indiana; and there is
no law authorizing such a corporation. The
object OF such pretended corporation is to
insure the owners of live stock against loss
by reason OF said stock. The defendants
have been claiming, and using the pretended
franchise of said pretended corporation
called the United States Accident Live
Insurance Company-Indiana branch. and
have for two years last past, been issuing
said pretended franchise of said pretended
corporation. They have elected board OF
directors, president, vice president, secre-
| tary, and are constantly issuing policies to
owners of stock in the name of said pre-
tended corporation. They have filed no
articles Of Incorporation in the secretary of
states office of the state of Indiana, In the
clerk or recorders office of Marion county.
Indiana, and if they had, there is no law au-
thorizjng such corporation for such pur-
pose in the state of Indiana. Said defend
ants are carrying on the said business of
said pretended corporation in the city of
Indianapolis" /" etc., etc. The case was given
to the jury about five o'clock, Judge How
land previously instructing them that if
| they found by the evidence given that the
company was corporation, existing as
such, ETC., they should find for the plaintiff;
| if not, for the defendant. After being out
for about half an hour the jury returned,
bringing in verdict for tire plaintiff The
case may go to the supreme court, though no
motion has yet been filed to that intent.

On the night of the 9th instant fire occur
red in Yeddo sweeping away the wooden
buildings from almost as large an area as
that devastated by the fire in April, 1872
and undoubtedly destroying a large amount
OF property, inssmuch as quarter of the
area attacked was occupied by shops and
residences of wealthy merchants. The exact
amount of loss has not been ascertained as
vet, but it has been estimated at nearly
100000. Much more has been saved,
in comparison, than at the pre-
vious confiagration, in consequences
of the multiplicity of the -fire-proof
store houses for the deposit of valuables.
Most of these, with their contents, remained
unharmed. 1t is rumored that many lives
were lost, but of this there is no confirma-
ton. The usual energy was shown by citi-
zens In enoeavoring to repair the ravages,
and several streets destroyed are already
rebuilt. The native newspapers published
in Yeddo and neighborhood contains hume err
Gus articles intended to throw discredit on
the foreign associations, especially with res
pect to the revision of treaties and cues
Jions arising therefrom. Mari, formerly
Japduese Minister 10 Washington, now holds
the position of under secretary uf iurelgn
affairs in Yeddo. Sugurra Kozofar, for
several years resident in America and
Europe. and formerly student at New
Brunswick, N. j., has been appointed chief
director of the government college at Yeddo.
