SAYS. The condition of the State is under
most of its aspects exceedingly gratifying.
The debt, etc, is comparatively small, and
may, with proper economy, in a few years,
be entirely paid. Colleges, Academies
and schools are flourishing. Charitable, in
stitutions in general are well managed.
The laws are enforced, criminals are
brought to speedy and exemplary punish
ment.
He gives history of the robbery in the
TreaSurer's office, and eXculpateS every one
from guilty intent except Phelps, but says
there is no doubt the defalcatiOn would
have been prevented if the Treasurer had
been at his post and given to his duties that
attention the State has a right to exact from
the custodian of its treasure. Legislation
is recommended for the regulation of trust,
loan and indemnity, guarantee and safe de-
post companies, that people may be pro
tected from loss through mismanagement
and fraud.
1t is also recommended that a general
law be passed defining the powers of Saw
ings banks and repeating all special priv
iliges, and a further recommendation is
made that no director or officer of a saw
fnCs bank shall be an officer or director of
any bank of discount in which its moneys
are deposited, and that banks be restricted
from certifying checks except for actual
deposits.
lie goes at length into the subject of
railroads and canals of the State, and
thinks there have been grave abuses in the
management of railroads, canals, and trans
pOrtatiOn.
He discusses the panic and the currency
duestion, andsexpresses himself emphatic

New ORLEANS, Jan. G.-The Times, of
Austin, Tex, says the Supreme Court after
several days discussion in test case, has
just decided that the law under which the
late general election was held is unconsti-
tutionai. The following is the section of
the new constitution which the Republic
cans claim was violated 10y the election act
of the last Legislature
''All elections for State, district and
county officers shall be held at the county
seats of the several counties, until other
wise provided by law, and the polls shall
be open for four days from o'clock in the
morning until o'clock in the evening of
each day.
The election act ordered the polls to be
kept open for one day only, land the Re
publicans claim that the words ''until other
wise provided by law" applys only to
what precedes it and not TO what follows,

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6-The Republican has
q special from Topeka, which says: The
case Of the State vs.. POmeroy, for the bri-
berry Of Senator York, was called in the
County Court here to-day. The defend
ant was moi present and his counsel asked
4 further continuance which was refused,
and POmerOy'S bail Of twenty thousand
dollars was ordered forfeited, with the I'M
Outstanding that il the defendant appears
for trial during this month, the order for
forfeiture will be reScinded. 1t is believ-
ed here that PonerOy will never be tried,
but as the case stands, it puts him in the
position of criminal at large, without bail
and liable to arrest at any time.

From the New York Tribune, Jan. 8.

AAViAi slic -NcW 4 OH IT'D ullc, JAN ).
During the year 1873 the public debt
Of the United States has been dimin-
ished nearly three million dollars. The
precise sum is 81, 5000. The increase
of the debt IN December was SS,453. 273.
In November the increase was Sc. OBS. 567.
making an increase Of ST., As, $50 In
two months. Under these circum-
stances it Is ridiculous to talk Of sink
ing funds, and accordingly, as we learn
from Washington. the sinking fund il
temporarily suspended" So also are
the official statements Of the decrease IN
the public debt since March 4, 1869.
During the year the outstanding le-
gal tender and fractional currency has
been increased twenty-eight million
dollars, after deducting in each case
the currency balances IN the Treasury.
And yet silver is not yet in general CIR
culatiOn. The funded de bt bearing IN
terest payable in gold has been de-
creased thirty four millions. In other
words, the result of a years fnancier-
ing has been the conversion Of about
thirty million dollars of funded debt,
bearing interest in gold, into thirty
millions Of ifTedeemable paper bearing
no interest at all It is superauous to
say that the resumption Of specie pay
ments Is likely to be delayed beyond
the term Of the present administra-
ton.
