THE sTATR OUT OF FUNDs--THE BANKS
REFUSE TO LEND--No MONEY FOR THE
LEGIsLATURE OR STATE INsrI TUrIoNs
RICHMOND, Va, March 5.-The audi
tor of public accounts 70 day reported to
the joint committee on finance CT the
General Assembly that the financial con-
|dition of the Commonwealth was truly
|deplorable. No money was being re-
ceived for taxes, all payments being
made In coupons, which were at thirty
per cent. discount. The auditor states
that there is but one hdndred and three
dollars in the treasury, that none could
be borrowed nor collected, and that he
can run the State government not an
hour longer. The asylums were behind
even ON support accounts. He had no
means Of paying the per diem of MEM
bers of the Legislature. There was Sl75,'
600 now due to banks, aud they refuse
further loans. He said deadlock might
be- avoided If the General Assembly
would provide that the license tax be paid
in money only. OF the one million
balance of taxes due for the last fiscal
year there was now ready nearly enough
coupons to absorb 1t, and on the first Of
July S600,000 more Of them would ma
ture.
The join committee meets against to-
night TO consider the situation.
In the House various propositions were
submitted looking to a solution of the
public debt question, one of which was
Tor the appointment of q commission
consisting Of the Governor and Other
officers, to meet the State creditors in
order to adjust the debt. No action has
yet been taken on any of the PROPOSE
uons.
1he joint committee on finance, at its
meeting this evening, adopted report
ton. recommending that the General
Assembly pass a law providing for the
collection of license taxes, including
revenue from the Motfett register, in
meney, to the exclusion of coupons.

edge OF tie German language cannot be
yer-estimated The number of Germans
in the United States is already very large
and Is rapidly increasing. In Philadelphia
about one-sixth of the Inhabitants speak
the German language. IL needs no argu-
ment to show that under these circumstan-
ces practical knowledge of that language
is not only social advantage, but busi-
ness necessity.
How. then, can the German language be
most thoroughly and quickly acquired? 1
mean so acquired as to be an easy and de-
lightful means OF communication, enabl-
| lag the student to enter into the spirit of any
| conversation. and TO appreciate the beau
| ties of the German Literature.
Itmay not be improper for me to state,
that a large experience In Universities both
IN Germany and America, as Scholar,
| Teacher and Visitor, enables me to speak
| on this subject with confidence. The method
OF teaching the language by means OF the
grammar alone, has failed the method OF
Teaching II by means of conversation alone,
has also failed. These failures have result
ed not only in a great waste OF valuable
time, but also in the production OF large
number of half taught pupils. The true
method is to familiarize the pupil with the
sound and meaning of the words, and with
the most important principles OF the gram
| mar-at the same time endeavorlng, by
easy conversation and practical exercises
to induce him to use the words and rules he
has learned. By this method the pu.
. Dill, in very short time, acquires a prac.
teal knowledge OF the language, and an
| ease In Its use which years of study by the
! old methods could not give him. An ordi-
narily intelligent person can, by my meth
cd, in from six to eight months, advance

sensiOn.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The repub-
lican leaders are manifesting considera-
BILE uneasiness regarding the political
outlook in New Hampshire, and their
private advices are not Of an encourag>
ing character. A leading republican
politician of that state expressed to-day
grave doubts as to the result Of the
election next Tuesday. According to
his information general apathy exists
among the republicans throughout the
State, and the discussion over the Presi-
dents policy is such as TO seriously inns
pair the republican strength, if not in
sure the election of the democratic ticket
A number of prominent republicans
were invited to go to New Hampshire
and take part in the campaign, but
every one refused. The only good
speakers who would go were from the
West, but the men who are directing the
the campaign were afraid to invite them
on account of their financial views. 1t
was feared the introduction of men with
strong silver convictions or with greens
back tendencies would not benefit the re-
publican cause in the Granite State, so
they were left severely alone.

is no guarantee that that gain would not
inure to the benefit of the Demo-
cratic instead of the Republican party.
The West and the South are fast
becoming affiliated, and the interests that con
Germ one will probable concern the other Sec
ton. Before the next census shall have
been completed and the apportionment I'M
der it arranged, the Democrats will not only
have full control of both Houses of Con-
gress, but every department Of the govern
naent, from the Presidency down, and if the
deputy rnarshals charged With the duty of
taking the census shall attempt to perpetrate
any fraud upon any section, they can be
promptly checkmated and brought to real
izing sense of the fact that they are the SER
wants, not the masters, of the people.
We are satisfied that no anxiety need be
felt of the success of this scheme. The
census will lot be begun until early in 1880.
1t is true that the deputy marshais appointed
for that purpose will owe their Offices to the
present administration, but they will hardly
dare. in view of the fact that their tenure of
office is limited, and that the approval of
their work and the payment therefor will de-
pend upon the pleasure OF Democratic
Congress, to commit acts that will not stand
the most rigid examination. But even if
they shall attempt to perpetrate fraud, it will
not be too late to rectify it. If the census
is properly taken we have no doubt but the
losses of the Southern and New England
States will be very nearly even. 1t will
therefore deyolye upon the Western
States to elect the number thus lost.
Illinois will probably gain one member,
Indiana one, Wisconsin one, Minnesota two,
Kansas one or two, and Iowa one, while
Missouri will probably gain one. The net
result will not radically vary the representa-
ton from what it is at present. The Repub-
licans will gain the representatives from
lows, Kansas, and one from Minnesota,
while the Democrats will probably elect the
remainder, although the result in Illinois
and Wisconsin may be considered in doubt.
We are therefore inclined to the opinion that
such conspiracy as seems to excite por-
ton Of the community will flash in the pan,
and no one need lie awake o'nights for fear
OF it's contamination.

Great Excitement in Cincinnati over a

| CINCINNATI, Dec. Reinstatement was created
IN financial circles late this afternoon by re-
port that the banking house Of C. F. Adae &

time certificates, and tie remainder due on
call; the assets are dated nominalIy at $500.
UUu. All demands were paid over the counter
up to 3:l5 this afternoon. and the firm had
about So,OOO to their credit at the clearing
house at the close of business to-day.
The following will appear tomorrow:
In consequence of the excitement which has
been prevalent in business circles for some
time, We find it necessary to suspend business
Tor the present, at least. During the past
twelve months We have met demands upon Ms
to the amount of $4,000, O0O, and We do not
feel that, in justice to ourselves and our bust
ness friends, we have the right to persist in Mt
tempting further to withstand the pressure
which ls threatening to come more Irresistible
from day to day. We have made an arrangement
for the benefit of our creditors OF all assets to

they can aggravate the Southern represe nta-

they can aggravate the Southern represe nta-
tlves to resentment.
On the Southern side there has been con-
splcuous absence from the debates of those
who bore arms in the war. These, although
largely represented in both houses of Con-
gress, have shown rare forbearance in debate.
those who have spoken have contented
themselves with a vigorous, manly protest
against attack, and sweeping denial of the
allegations set forth. Those who have
shown desire to engage in the acrimonies
OF sectional quarrel are not those who took
a part in the activities of the war.
They are men who have come into promi-
nence since that era. or men who kept
aloof from its stirring events, except, per-
haps, that they took part as politicians on
the other side. Davis, Toonlbs and Eustis,
who never fired q shot or brandished a
sword, are about the only irreconcilables
that remain, and these give the only war
rant for the attacks of the trio of knavish
Northern Senators who have political pur-
poses to serve by enkindling the animosities
= :. =
We can but conclude as we began by the
statement that the men who bore the heat
and burden of the day during the war
those who in reason might bs supposed to
cherish ill-will between the sections-have
no part in the present agitation. Those
who are responsible for it had no part in the
events of the war-were too selfish and too
cowardly to risk themselves at the front or
do aught for the country in her time of
need. They are for the most part pack
of despicable political tricksters whom to
know is to despise. They have never shown
patriotism patriotism that leads to self
sacrifce-for either the North or the South.
Their ambition has beguiled them into a
crusade that will prove their ruin, and that
ruin, be it ever so complete aud overwhelm-
ing, will be we'll deserved.
