George G. Round esq, Is m Independent candi.
date for Congress In the first Congressional district
and. in communication in the Washington RE.
PUBLICAN, assigns as primary reason for his an.
nouncoment, To make tho robbery Of the public
school fund q test question. No other election
takes place before the Legislature meets and he
avails himself of this occasion 10 make that an
issue. Mr. Round Is an earnest, Intelligent aud
determined friend Of the schools. He opposed the
constitutional amendment which requires the
prepayment Of the poll tax US q necessary prcCc.
dent 10 the exercise of the elective franchise for
the reason as he stated to US, that that provision
would take from tho most needy bcncncinrcs Of the
schools the only weapon they hal to defend the pro-
vision by which alone their children could be Gdu.
Gated. He saw then, as we saw II, that that was
the first organized movement against the public
school system, and ifnOt defeated there would be
danger TO this great bcneiGCtion We see how Il Is
now. Not only have the funds dedicated by the
constitution To the schools bGen diverted 10 pur.
pose never intended, but many are deprived Of the
ballot with which to record their condemnation OF
this truaChcry. The public schools are In danger
This year oRe.half Of them will be suspended and
the other half be IN operation not more than hal
the time they should he, unless private C9Etribu-
tions are made 10 keep them in existence We
hope Mr.. Round will make q vigorous canvass and
expose the petty larceny by which the poor chill
drIn Of the state are robbed of this fund.

finances of the State are in excellent cons
dition. The period of time covered by
the report Is the fiscal year ending June

first day Of January, 1877, S54. 900 in bond-
of the State. issued under act of March 2.
1868, matured and were promptly paid on
presentation, thus reducing the bonded
debt Of the Stats that amount. A sur
plus of general revenue accumulated
during the past year and on the Goth day
of June last amounted to the sum of
s1i7. 827. 6S The Treasurer assigns as the
principal reason for this surplus of general
revenue to be tho fact that there was no
session of tho Legislature in 1873. The
tOIai amount of receipts from all sources
during the past wear amounted to
81. 5S4, S9l. 10 and the disbursements
