From the state House. before he had been

MISSOURI.
Gov. Woodson's statement of the
financial condition of Missouri places
the State debt at ST, 1876, 900; amount
of maturing bonds paid during the
year, 81, 412,000. He refers to the
prevalence of crime in the State, and
quotes the English common law, max
ing the people of townships and coun-
ties responsible for damages when
officers or citizens fail to arrest crimi-
nails, as something worthy the consid-
Grafton of members. and says, unless
the people of the State arouse them
selves to higher perception of duty in
respect to the enforcement of law,
arrest of criminals, and prevention of
mobs, the State will be seriously in
jursd, and its progress and development
greatly retarded.
ILLINOIS.
Gov. Beveridge, in his biennial
communication to the Legislature,
states that the receipts Including bal
ance) of the Treasury from Dec 1, 1872,
to Dec. l, 1874, were $l3, 1856, 600, the
expenditures, $11, 759, 37,-leaving
balance Of 50, 1876, $50. The total in
debtedness of the State Dec. l, 1874,
was S1,730,972, of which S250,009
was paid Jan. 5, 1875. The Gov
ornor estimates that the semi
annual receipts from the Illinois
Central Railroad Company will be suf-
ficient to meet the interest on all the
State Indebtedness and to pay the prin-
cipal thereof as fast as it falls due, and
that on Jan. /, 1880, with all outstand-
ing obligations paid in full, there will
be surplus of the Illinois Central fund
of over half million of dollars.
Therefore, no tax will be needed from
this time forward to pay either princi-
pal or interest OF the State debt. The
organized militia of the State consists
of one battalion and fifteen detached
companies, aggregating Lip officers
and men, of whom 974 are uniformed.
The Governor recommends that en-
enlargement be gwen to fish culture;
that provision be made for taking the
State census of 1865 and that the
State should be represented IN the
Philadelphia Centennial. He states
that the levy for revenue for 1873
should be $4,000, 600. and for 1876,
81, 800, 900, with 81 600, 900 each year
for schools. The Penitentiary is self
sustaining and needs no appropria-
tions.

MAINE.

Gov. Dingley's message furnishes a
gratifying exhibit of the financial COZ
dition of the Pine Tree State. The
war left her with debt of about IS, 500,-
600. This debt the people of Maine,
with steady determination, early took
measures to reduce. In this they have
succeeded so well that they have al
ready been able to pay off So. 900, 900 of
the principal, besides meeting $4,000
900 of interest. At the present rate the
entire debt would be extinguished in
about fourteen years more.

TEXAS.

TEXAS.
Gov. Throckmorton, of Texas, in his
message to the Legislature, copgratu-
lates that body upon the great prosper
ity of the State, the marked reduction
of the public debt during tho year, and
the protection of thousands of miles of
border by the Texas Rangers. Under
the system of finance now adopted,
State bonds are sold almost at par,
restoring credit at home and abroad.
THE manufacturers of firearms in this
country are reported to be very busy.
Large orders from foreign governments
are now being executed. Turkey is
having 600, 900 of the Peabody Martini
rifles made, Prussia lots of needle
guns, Russia 100, 900 of Smith & Wes-
sons pistols, while Spain calls for all
that can be made of the Winchester
and other breech-loaders.

In THE REGISTER of the 4th in

In The REGISTER of the 4th inst.
we published a letter from the State
Board of centennial managers, stating
that the exhibition made by our State
at the centennial exposition at Philadel.
phia next year would be by counties,
and giving list of the articles it was
desirable each county should furnish.
We believe it is possible for Allen coun-
ty to take the premium on many of the
farm products, if our farmers will hunt
up their best specimens. Persons hav-
ing samples of corn or other grain,
grasses, or anything called for in the
published list can leave it with Geo. A.
Bowlus and it will be taken care of and
the best specimens will be properly Ia
beled and forwarded to the State Board
of Centennial Managers. Never again
will our people have such an opportun-
ity for advertising as the one that is now
offered them by the exhibition of the
wonderful products of our soil at the
centennial.
