A COMPLIMENT TO HON. A. II. STEPH-
ENs.-President Barnard, of Columbia
College, N. Y. has addressed a letter to
the Hon Alexander H. Stephens, in which
he says:
Il want to thank you with all my heart
for your very beautiful, judicious and pa
triotic address on the occasion OF the pre-
sentation and reception OF the ~arpenter
picture Of Lincoln. 1t is indeed mar
velous thing how, after her trials, the
South still continues to maintain her no.
BILE pre-eminence in craftsmanship and in
moral dignity j; and still more marvellous,
perhaps, that one who had been SO conspi-
cuous in the councils of the nation before
the war, and also during the progress of
that painful struggle had been identified
with equal prominence with the Southern
cause, should continue after all to COM
mand equally, N orth and South, a homage.
a respect and confidence which is aWar-
ded by the people to hardly any other. 1t
is a beautiful and q noble tribute to the
character always consistently distinguish
ed for unseltish devotion to principle and a
tone Of sentiment so far elevated above
the base and mean passions which disfig
ure so much Of our public life, as to be al
most without a parallel. The address
to which [ have referred is in per-
feet harmony with this character, and it
has been read with deep qualification by
millions OF your countrymen."

One may safely conclude that without a
miracle the present legislature will do no
thing with the State debt, and the longer
it STAYS in Richmond the more distracted
the members get. In the boiling OF the
not the Senate pops up now and then with
proposition to the creditors, which the
Adjusters speedily Stay, and the House has
occasionally man bold enough to offer a
proposition to the creditors, which is
quickly amended by the Adjusters, SO as
to be no better than the BARBOUR bill.
Some of the Adjusters want to adjourn on
the spot and let the machine run aground
as they think al hope. Some want the
question of having constitutional con-
yention voted on as early as May, hardly
giving the people time to think about the
matter. Some are willing to wait uLuil No
vember.
The conspirators were delighted to hear
from the Auditor Tuesday that he hadn't
money enough in the Treasury to run the
government an hour longer, and that
though there were million dollars taxes
due by the middle OF June there were
$sOO,OOO of coupons still out ready to eat
these taxes up. The fac is that this ISM
bit worse off than the Treasury has been
a half dozen times in the past year before
and since the legislature met. The banks
have refused to loan the State money! Ii
we are not mistaken a similar thing oc
CURED but few months ago. But the
number of coupons named can't eat up
a million dollars without leaving $500, 00C
in the Treasury and the license tax and
theregsteI will ill up the remaining gap.
An empty treasury is the best tonic that
{ the present legislature can take according
/ to our view of.it, and if the legislature
don't intend to do anything honest with
the debt, an empty capital is the best tonic
the State can take.
