The Democratic majority in the
State House of Representatives on
Tuesday, in the spirit of factious o2posi-
ton and legislative imbecility which
has characterized its conduct since the
first day of the session, defeated the
only measure possible to save the credit
of the State during The year and to
enable it to meet its just obligations to
the charitable and reformatory insIitu-
tions which discharge its be5; functions,
The facts are stated very fully in our
Harrisburg dispatches, but their i'm
portance merits brief statement here.
First, as regards the condition of the
public treasury; On the first day Of
the present month it contained, accord.
ing to the statement for Februlry, the
sum of s59.04, applicable to all purpo-
ses other than the principal and iaterest
of the public debt.
Its emptiness is attributable to the
following facts: The Legislature o!
1874 passed an act providing that the
sinking fund should consist OF the pro-
coeds of the sale of the public works or
of any part thereof, or the sales OF any
stocks owned by the State, and of the
tax upon the capital stock of corpora
tions, all other revenues to 20 iuto the
general fund. It's other provisions re-
enacted the sections OF the constitution
declaring the sinking fund inviolate, ex-
cept in certain emergencies, and pro-
hibited the misapplication OF the re-
venues. SO far, SO good, but the act
while thus proyiing for aud protecting
the shaking fund, failed entirely to fur
njsh the means for raising revenue to
meet the ordinary expenses Of the State.
In fact, it destroyed the previous means
OF SO doing by diyerting them to another
purpose. And thus it is that The Com
monwoath, while it wiil find itself at
the end OF the year in a position to dis
charge at least 81 100000 of lis in
debtedness 10 enc class of creditors, will
be a defautor to another.
70 remedy this state Of affairs bill
was some time ago presented in the
douse, ameniatory of the aet of the
last session, aud assigning all State
taxes other than those received from
the capital stock Of railroad, canal, aud
transportation companies to the general
revenues, SO as to allow a margin which
would meet all extraordinary expenses
- P''oo ~ooo ,anr 1890. ::
the sinking fund in excess of the in-
terest obligations OF the State This
SGo0,000, by the way, is $3.50, 800 10
excess OF the amount which The con.
s''tntion requires 10 be annually placed
to the credit Of the sinking fund.
The bill! was avorably reported from
the Ways and Means Committee, and
passed both q first and second reading.
Tuesday, however, It was defeated by
the Democratic majority, notw,hsrand-
ing it had the support Of several Of the
ablcst members of that party. Unless

COMMUNICATES.
St. Mary's County, May %, 1875.

NJ. Editor One or two friends Of
mine have inquired of me whether I
would reply to the tissue of folly and
nonsense that you published in your
last issue over the signature of Oyster
man. / have declined for the same rea-
son that Prentice of the Louisville Jour-
mai. declined to spank the baby when
called upon by his wife to do so. He
said che could not find any place big
enough to spank" Sowhen my friends
ask me to spank your correspondent, l
reply he really is not old enough to spank.
He thinks that the Legislature of 1874
could have repealed the compact of
1885, under which the present Oyster
Law was set aside in the Potomac.
This would indicate that he is very
young, indeed. He also thinks that
the Legislature of 1874 is responsible
for the interpretations of that old COM
pact BY the Courts. This would seem
to argue that he is only ''just born"
He is evidently too young to be spanked.
If had recognized the extreme juve-
nifty of his intellect sooner, would
not have struck the baby at all.
/ remain yours, sir, with respect,
