WAsHINGToNAprill l6. Howe said, "a few
weeks ago he submitted some remarks
upon resolution calling upon the presi
dent for certain information in regard to
Judge Whitaker, of La, When he con-
cluded an executive session was ordered
and no action was taken. de hoped the
senate would now adopt it. He then made
an explanation of the resolution.
Davis of West Virginia submitted as
substitute for resolution of Howe, that
submitted by him March Goth, calling
upon secretary of treasury for information
relative to balances due from collectors of
internal revenue not in Office. and what
amount has been settled by compromise
Conkling said the two resolutions had
nothiug on earth to do with each other;
would it not be as we'll to adopt resolutions
separately. Adoption of substitute would
thwart resolution of Howe. He did not
want to stiAe enquiry, there had been some
scandal in regard to this New Orleans
Judge
Eustis inquired what was the scandal.
Corkling said twas not necessary for
him to go into that question, allegations
had been made that there was connection
between the Judge named and the enter
ing of noIle proseques in certain cases.
That was the allegation though he did not
believe it, as he had not seen evidence to
supports it After some further discussion
the resolution Of Howe was adopted kMr.
Davis resolution was also adopted as a
separate proposition.

DR.. w. Fl. Ruffner, Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, in his eighth annual re-
port, says:
In my annual report last year use the
following language: 1T is not important
to the school system, as / have frequently
said, that it should receive any large sum
from the State treasury, but it is Of the
highest Importance that its income should
be regular and sacred. The evils of irreg-
ularity have already been seriously felt, and
during the now current year | apprehend
SeriouS damage" This damage came in
various forms, but particularly in the in-
crease of Indebtedness to teachers, which
amounts to something like S250,000, and in
the loss of 127 schools, and also in dimi-
mutton Of school attendance amounting to
i2,730 pupils. Inasmuch as the shrinkage
has commenced, and will be continued in
proportion 10 the loss OF revenue, it may be
well to note the rate OF destruction as it
progresses. Hence the following table has
been prepared to give comparative state
ment OF 1877 and 1878, in respect to the
main items OF school statistics:

ATTORNEY. GENERALS REPORT. = Attor.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS REPORT. - Attor-
ney-General Field, in his annual report,
SAYS OF the ancient HauuStein case:
uaunstein Us. Lynham. Haunsteln hay
ing died in this State without known heirs,
his property was claimed For the State as
dcrelict. Suit was subsequently Instituted
by persons claiming to be the heirs OF Haun-.
stein. The Court Of Appeals OF Virginia
having decided against them. an appeal has
been taken to the Supreme Court. 1t will
be heard by that court when reached in the
regular calling OF its docket.
Hartman Us. Grcenhow, treasurer. In
this case Hartman purchased certain cou-
| pons taken from the bonds OF the State,
! and made receivable for taxes, and rendered
| them in payment Of his taxes without de-
Quoting from said coupons the tax assessed
against the bond from which the coupons
were taken. Grecnhow, treasurer, refused
| to receive the coupons, without deducting
said tax, An application was made by
Hartman to the Court OF Appeals for q
7nandamus TO compel Greenhow to receive
1.-THE coupons without deducting the tax.
The Court OF Appeals, By an equal division,
refused the mdndamus. From this judg-
ment OF refusal an appeal has been allowed
ITO the Supreme Court, upon the allegation
| that the refusal to receive the coupons With
out deducling the tax violates the contract
of the State.
The question here raised is a very impor-
tant one, involving about $4,000 OF the
annual revenue nf the State.
John Nj. Goddin Us. Charles P. Cross.
This is an action OF eiectment, brought for
the purpose OF recovering from the State Il
small piece Of land in the city OF Rich
mond, upon which the penitentiary spring
| is situated.
| The trial OF this case is fixed for the 22d
| dav OF November next. ....-
| Many other cases are referred to, and the
| Attorney. General says: .-.....
"The foregoing comprise all that the law
makes my duty to report upon. but l beg
leave TO state to your EXcellency that in al
most every county in the State there are
balances due which oughtto be looked after.
and in some OF the Circuit Courts important
questions, deeply affecting the interest OF
the State, arise when and where there is no
one especially authorized TO take care OF the
interest OF the State. Would 1t not be well
for the Legislature by law to authorize your
EyceIlency, or the Auditor, to employ coun-
sci in each county to look after such bal
ances and questions, making the compensa-
ton OF such. counsel payable out OF FUNDS
realized by bis labors? l will state that
have voluntarily attended two or more OF
the Circuit Courts in which such questions
have arisen"
