Governor IS Message.

We condense from the full text, as
much of Governor Fairbanks Message to
the Legislature as our space will admit of
publishing, as follows:
FINANCES.
1t is matter for mutual cengratulation
that by wise legislation, and careful and
honest management, the finances of the
state are in most satisfactory and pros
porous condition. When we call to mind
that ten years ago, after having cheer
fully met the enormous taxation neces-
sary for the support of the war, the state
was found to lave funded debt of one
million six hundred and twenty-five
thousand FIVE hundred dollars, it is not
little remarkable, aud certainly very
gratifying, to lind that at the close of the
present financial year the Treasurer had
in hand assets, mostly in ready money, to
the amount of seventy-two thousand nine
hundred and seven dollars and eleven
cents, in excess of all existing liabilities.
Although portion of the state debt does
not fall due for several years, and it is
really due from the state to the state, and
a considerable portion of the money then
on hand will be needed to defray the eX-
penses which will accrue before another
state tax can be collected, we have the
proud satisfaction of having entered up
on the second century substantially free
from debt, and with no state financial
burdens for posterity to bear.
The Treasurer's report, to which you
are referred, will furnish clear, definite
and detailed statement of the financial
transactions of the state for the past two
years.
From the report it appears that during
the financial year, ending August lst
1875, besides meeting the current eX-
penses, the funded debt was diminished
fifty-nine thousand dollars, and there was
added to the sinking fund enc hundred
and thirty thousand dollars. At the close
of that year, Che financial condition o.
the state was as follows

The Profits Of the ROteschilds

1t seems the Messrs. RothsclGild's S
have made good thing out of the
purchase of the Suez canal shares by
,e English government. They ad-
vanced the $10, 900, 900 to pay for the
shares; for this they are 10 receive 21
per cent. commission, $500, 900, and
they are to have 5per cent. interest on
the $50, 100000 advanced by them un-
til the government repays it. The
Rothschilds paid $4,000 to the
order of the Khedive on December / =,
and the other $4,000, 900 has been
paid during December and January
1t will probably be the end of this
month before they are repaid; and if
so, their profits on this little transact.
ion, in which they ran no risk, and
out of which they may and probably
have made large Incidental gains, will
be about $3.50. geo; that is, $500, 600 for
commission and $3.50, 900 for three
months interest. Add to this the pro-
fits which the house may have made by
buying Egyptians when they were at
their lowest, and the certainty that the
transaction, of which they had the
secret, would send up the stock to a
high price, it would be very moderate
to estimate the gains of the Rothschilds
on this little transaction at a round
million Of dollars.

comparison has been instituted be-

Of brief and undeserved authority, at
stated meeting of eur City Council
held 18th met, when the question of
granting donation to our Centennial
fund was before that body by the
member from the Ninth ward, Martin
Farrell, and the member from the
Second ward, Ii. Mclntire. 1t is true
that the attack was by parties who
have but little influence in this COM
munity yet we feel their attack keenly
and the publishing committee were
instructed to prepare this communica-
tion and have the same published in
all the daily papers of cur city. 1t 10
a well known fact that the State Com
mission were accomplishing but little
aud their efforts were likely to prove
failure unless some active acquisition
should come to their aid. the tiremen
of this city seeing this, the question
at once arose with them: Is Delaware
like other States, to have building
, upon the Centennial grounds or notf
Viewing the matter as every true and
patriotic citizen should, we resolved
with the aid of the State Commission
and that Of her citizens that there
should be q building, and Delaware
one OF the old thirteen represented in
the Centennial Of American Indepen-
dence; this building to be known as
Delaware, the Diamond State House
to be for tho benefit OF theC Commission
, and the rest our people, and not for
! few leunging and ambitious fremen, as
the gentlemen alluded to want to have
this community believe. Our sole
object is for the reputation Of our
States and the benefit of our entire
people, nothing less. We have met
with such encouragement that we can

ance that the house will be built not

city donation, and we shall welcome
either Of you under its roof, and to
enjoy its convepiences if you visit
the Centennial. And we again assure
you that the building is intended for
the comfort and conveniences of the
people of this State, where her sons
and daughters can meet and exchange
greetings at the arrival Of her Centen-
nial year. In conclusion we would
say to our citizens of both city and
State, come forward each and do your
part to the extent you may feel able to
contribute, that a building may be
erected on the Centennial grounds, in
Philadelphia, that will be worthy Of
you as Delawareans, and save our
people from the modification that will

not keep house there as well as sister

A Bnrbarous Imitation of William
Tell
J. CRAWFORD.

Berlin newspapers give singular
account OF the performance of two
Americans in circus in that city. The
performers appeared under the name
of Mr.. and Madame Thomson. The
latter was dressed in the faded attire
of page. Having blindfolded her
with a white cloth, her husband placed
her against a target and fastened an
apple upon her head. Retiring some
distance, he took a crossb0w, aimed
at the apple, and let fly. The arrow
struck close by the poor woman's
right eye. She staggered, and seemed
on the point OF swooning; but her hus-
band braced her up, again set the ap-
pie Alright, stepped back and seemed
about to repeat his barbarOus fete in
archey. The audience, however, was
furious with indignation. and shouted
threatlngly, "Stop that" Thomson
en- 1eavered to make some sort Of aa
exclamation in unintelligible English.
The audience would not hear him, aud
he withdrew with his wife.

The Age of Steam.

In the recent General Passenger
Agents Convention at Louisville, one of
members, Mr.. w. B, Shattuc, of the
Atlantic and Great Western Road, drew
a graphic picture of the wonderful rail-
road growth of the country. Said he:
There is another aspect of this Centen.
NAL, which concerns all those engaged in
the great practical arts Of locomotien
and Of commerce, and of transmitting
intelligence. One hundred years ago
none of these practical arts in their pre-
sent form existed. Neither steamboat
nor telegraph were known or heard Of
If this great valley of the Mississippi
now teens with population; if this
Wilderness blooms with civilizations; if
the poor Immigrant finds a happy home
/ where all until lately was savage wild
= it is largely, it not altogether, due to
those practical arts which have made the
Transmission Of both persons and intelli-
gence cheap. These arts did not exist
until within this century, and it is in
| America that they have found their lar
gest and most worthy development. t.
Some OF themswere invented here, and
all have here their proper and best
home. Turn 1.-TWO or three leading
facts and you will see how intimately
this American Centennial is connected
Il
| United States to-day are rs, 900 miles Of
railroad. all of which has be n the work
of only ferty years, ,and it is the grandest
contribution to material prosperity
which was ever made in one age Of
mankind. Again, we find this vast power
of steam land-carriage contributing to
feed Europe and to make our great
cities possible, for unless the grain fields
of the Mississippi Valley hao been open
ed up how could Europe or our own ci-
ties have received their large supplies of
food. which now makes the greatest
element in their prosperity? Aud how
or when would those fields be cultivated
if they products could not be carried
quickly and cheaply to the market? We
see, then, that it is in America that
these great practical arts of locomot ion
and com merce have developed most lar
| saly and most beneficially. II This is, in
itseif.a demonstration that a republican
gov ernment is the best adapted to the
! development of the useful and the valu-
able In the practical affairs of human
society. 1t is this demonstration the
world sees in America. 1t is this grand
exhibition of human progress which the
| world is following.
