FLOATING DEBT.


Under the act to provide for the set
Element and payment of certain claim.
sainst tho State" approved 1875, and
known as tho big bonanza, there was au.
jiied by commission certain claims
against the State, ageresating S3OS,
O3l.47, for which the Comptroller-G Gen
eral, as directed by the act, issued his
warrants in full settlements to,he amount
so cents on the dollar, Ofthis amount
one >quarter was provided for by the tax
levy of 1876, and there remains, there
fore, outstanding Of these warrants on
the Treasurer about sl15,5l1.79. In
der act approved 1873, No. 13, entitled
AN act {" provide for the payment of
certain indebtedness of the State, ="
"known as the Little Bonanza" there
was audited by the Comptroller General
certain other claims against the State,
and his warrants issu, d for the full
amounts. One-third Of this amount was
intended to be provided for by the tax
levy of 1876. The levy, however, was
not sufficient to meet it in full, and there
is now outstanding Of these warrants an
amount somewhat in excess OF S34l 600.
Under the terms of the two acts of
1873, besides certain specified claims,
was included "all claims which, by any
action prior to the present session, ( 1879
have been definitely, fixed in amounts
or ordered to be paid" 1t is, therefore
presumable that the aggregate OF the lit
tic and big bonanza warrants outstanding
unpaid approximates the valid floating
debtedncss Of the State prior to 1875
&c. There may, however, be valid
claims which were presented, but were
not presented under these acts. Since
the date Of these acts the floating indebt-
edness of the State has been increased
by claims incurred end at present unau-
dited. OF such claims there are no
dates in this office on which TO report.
There are for the year ending October
81, 1876, Deficiencies borne upon the

FOURTH OF july ENTERTAINMENTS
Not having the pleasure of attending the
Fourth of July entertainments at Dufields
and Kabletown, we copy the following men>
ton from the Free Press:
The Fourth " was celebrated with great
spirit by the people of Duffields. On the
evenings of the End, Sd and 4th a Festival,
under the management of Miss Maggie Scott
Miss Florence Glenn, Miss Wiltshire and
other ladies of the neighborhood, was grand
success. On the 4th, by special invitation,
Mr.. Charles Davies, of Harper's Ferry, de-
livered his lecture English Literature
Introducing it and interpreting throughout
by remarks appropriate to the occasion-to a
large audience. 1t was received in a manner
that ought to have been, and doubtless was,
gratifying to the speaker.
On the Fourth of July some of the Ladies'
of Kabletown and neighborhood, to procure
funds for necessary repairs to the Church
property there, gave feast of good things.
The tables were laden with delicacies, and
we trust their success in taking in the shin
ing dollars in some measure approximated
their deserts. The Committee of Arrange
ments comprised the following Mrs. Thos.
Woodward, President; Rev. A. NJ. Cackley,
Treasurer; Mrs. Samuel Campbell, Mrs.
George Ridgway. and Misses Julia Langdon,
Rosa Langdon, Fannie Lloyd, Fannie Myers,
Mamie Jackson, Mary Albin, Martha Lang
don and Lissie Hoffmaster.
