The following table shows the State COL

The treasurer says: The temporary loans
negotiated from time to time have been paid
with the exception Of 81 ,955.81, borrowed in

legislature for the purpose of meeting de-
mands of the soho 81 text book contractor.
Of the first ssries of six per cent. bonds,
issued March Is, 1873, 10000 have already
been redeemed, and it is to be hored that the
seed grain tax, levied in q number of coun-
ties, will be promptly paid, and the remain

The income from intarest on State de-
posits during the fiscal year amounted to
$6,712.49, an increase of $1,137.12 against
last year. OF this SUM $3O7.95 was used
tor paying interest on temporary loans, and
the balance of 6,4O4.5O was covered into

and against the county of Mcleod of $5,-

condition to which respectfully call your
attention. Thee amounts are due to
the educational fund of the State,
and remain unpaid in conse-
quence of the defalcations of former treas

In concluding his report, Col. Pfaender
says: During my administration of the

years, the finances of the State were almost

vexation and embarrassment, but I am

To the Editor of the Globe.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 20, l879.--DEAR SIN: In
regard to your editorial in this mornings
GLOBE you do this board gross injustice. In
the first place, there are now but about
1900 pamphlets of all sorts on hand, lin
stead Of 5000, and to have entirely filled
all the orders thus far received would have
taken more than all the German, Swede and
Norwegian editions, and the greater part of
the English, leaving none to fill the small
demands which are being constantly received
in increasing proportions. As 81 1000 have
been distributed in about seven months
time, it was fair to conclude that at least
1000 would be needed during the next
year. Hence, the order for an additional
$4,000.
Again, this pamphlet is not, as you state,
q review of the year 1873, or of any other
year. So far as it contains statistics, it
adopts those of 1877, because they were the
latest published at the time when it was pre-
pared. Those of 1873 are not yet printed,
and the statistics of 1879 will not be avail
able until next winter. The crop reports of
1879 will not be made to the State statisti-
clan until July next; what has so far been
published are but the estimates, and they
fall below the report of 1877 very consider
ably. You have been misled by reading the
titles of the statistician's reports instead of
their contents.
One word more, while the new edition of
the pamphlet will be mainly reprint of the
old, it will be altered so as to note the WON
derful development of the State dur
ing the past year, and in that re-
speot only is the record of the
State in 1879 especially attractive. am
sorry to know that the crop statistics will neo-
essarily be far less dattering than those of
1877. .--s~....
You will only do an act of justice by pub
fishing this, although it conflicts slightly
with "your waste paper" theory, which you
have accepted while laboring under several
serious miaapprehensions, and hope You
will do this. and eblige,
Yours truly,
II. II. YOU'VE, Secretary.

THE MAINE CASE BEFOEE THE
SUPREME COURT.

Hen. Lot M. Morrill, has sent to Gov. Gar
celon series of fourtssn propositions bear
ing with more or less directness upon the
pending conf: ct in Maine, which he wishes
to have submitted for adjudication to the
supreme judicial court. Thus far the gov
ernor has made no reply ave to state in
formally that for nearly all the acts commit
ted by himself and the council, and covered
by Mr.. Norrill's memoranda, they had de-
cisions of that tribunal that were clear and
explicit, and had followed those decisions to
the letter. AS to the remainder, they were
insignificant-not worthy of referenc, to the
supreme court or any other judicial tribunal.
This is regarded by some as tantamount to a
refusal of Gov. Garcelon to comply with the
request of Mr.. Morrill, and his coparceners,
yet by no means esttlss the question.
What, will be asked, is the purpose of the
Republicans in demanding that questions
already adjudicatsd be submitted to the 50.
preme judicial cor-t? Can they hope that
that Tribunal will reverse il own dc ,isiona?
Evidently that is their exr sotation. Al
ready, IN the hope that the que ;tions will be
submitted as proposed, they have begun to
bring pressure to bear upon the members
of the court, and are busy manufacturing
public sentiment in their favor. Indiena-
ton meetings ara being held all over the
State to protest against what they denomi-
nate ''the great crime,'' and they are conf
dent that the supreme court, partisan as it is,
will not be able to resist the pressure. 1t
will be spectacle for gods and men to
witness court, organized to administer JUS
tics impartially. going back upon its own
record ct the dictates of a partisan cabal.
But this is the hore Of the Republicans of
Maine. ..4.-
We trust that Gov. Garcelon will pursue
the even tenor Of bis way without fear or
favor. He has done right. He has admin
lstered the constitution and the laws, o. he
was sworn to do, as interpreted by the su-
preme court. If the laws are defective or
tolerate the commission of wrong, he is not
to blame, but those who made the laws are
deserving of censure. The very men who
enacted the laws with the purpose of COM
hitting fraud under them are the ones who
are now protesting SO loudly against their
enforcement. Thereare abundant means BY
whi,h the Republicans can have justice done
them. But they ask more than this, and
wish to have their case tried before partisan
court, and even 60 so far as to insist that the
court shall stultiey its own record for their
benefit. The facts have besn grossly mis-
represented by the partisan Associated
Press. When we have full and impa, sial
elucidation OF the case it will bs found that
the governor and council of Maine. will de-
serve the thanks of az hores. mon rather
than their condemnation.

first visited in the early summer of 1879

An Electric Spring.

The beautiful Buffalo Valley-the
mountaineer paradise, and one of the
most romantic spots in Tennessee-lies
along the eastern bank of that lovely
mountain stream, the Caney Fork.
Three or four miles from the mouth of
this valley stands an old water mill,
whose huge iron-bound wheel, it is
said, performed its last revolution
somewhere about the year 1918. The
mill in its day was no doubt a wonder
in that part of the country, for, judging
by its present appearance, it must have
been the most wonderfully constructed
building of its kind ever erected in that
vicinity. 1t is now the home of rats
and owls. and the ashes of the jolly old
miller, who long years ago was the
life and the light of the place, sleep
peacefully on a neighboring hill. IN
der this old mill is the most wonderful
spring of which the world has ever
heard. Among the inhabitants it is
known as the "Devi's Spring" No
one seems to know how or when it re-
ceived this unpleasing, importunate APP
pellation. Few people, other than

rarely visit it, from the fact that it is
believed to exert powerful and evil
influence over all who were rash enough
to venture sufficiently near its confines
to allow a single drop of the bubbling,
boiling fluid to fall ON them or their
garments. Besides, the old mill is said
to be haunted, and this alone would
keep those superstitious, though pious,
people from risking their lives by fire.

underneath it. Notwithstanding the

unhallowed spot, a gentleman recently
visited the mill and the spring, the lat

natural curiosity he had ever seen. The
