Judge Harker, Of the circuit court OF
Union county Of this state, has decided that
under the laws Of this state a woman can
not hold the Office of master in chanccry.
The Judge, in deciding the case, paid a
compliment 10 Mrs. Schurchardt, the lady
who held the office, and which the pro-
cecdings oustcd, by saying THAT while
am constrained TO sustain THO demurrer,
and hold that she cannot under the law,
retain this Office there is not one of the
masters in chancery in the tour counties
where preside who has been more faithful
or attentive in the discharge of their duties,
and none who has exhibited her quahfca-
tons to discharge his duties well. And it
is my sincere hope that at its next session
the legislature will make this Office occca.

The governor will shortly issue his
proclamation calling in for payment the
last Of the state debt, which is about $751;
900, including $4,000 of bonds called
previously, but which. not having been pre-
sented, is supposed to be lost. All the debt
will be wiped out if presented by January
/, and if not presented the interest on it
will cease from that date. On January /,
1857, when M Matteson, the last demo-
cratic governor, went out Of office, the state
debt was over $i4,000,000. With the state
debt fund now in the treasury, and the re-
ceipts Of the Illinois Central railroad fund
for the half year ending October /, there
will be considerable surplus, which will
be applied to the expenses Of the state gov
eminent, so that state taxes in future will
be lighter than ever before.
