Mr.. Corbin NJ. Reynolds, Treasurer OF the
Commonwealth, to Hon. X. NJ. r. Hunter,
late Treasurer, who was represented In that
behalf by Major Raleigh Colston, aud Mr..
Reynolds assumed full and actual posses

The committee again presented tC the at

curity and liability to depreciation OF the
valuable papers in the Treasury. Securities
representing large values to the Common.
! wealth are necessarily kept in insecure
wooden presses, the Legislature, after re-
peated notification, baving failed to provide
suitable safes or vaults for the purpose.
II is respectfully recommended, after con-
sultation with the Treasurer and his assist
ants, as a measure OF public safety, that a
large number Of the unislued bonds therein
be burned in the presence OF the proper Of
ficers, to be named by the General Assem-
bly,, and Of your committee; and the com.
mittee designate as those to be so DESTROYED
the classes and numbers Of bonds stated in
Exhibit "B," prepared by an expert in the
Treasurer's Office and filed herewith.
The deposits OF foreign insurance compa-
mics In the custody OF the Treasurer were
carefully scrutinized and found amply suf-
1cient to meet the requirements OF the law
In that regard. Two companies, however,
the Life Association OF America and the
Mutual Life-Insurance Company OF New
York-haye deposited with the Treasurer
individual bonds.
Your committee, for the better protection
OF the interests Of policy-holders in foreign
insurance companies, recommend that the
law be so amended as to require the deposit
OF public securities only.

is an intense feeling psrvading all classes
Of society. The recent threats and
movements OF the agitators have caused
many to consider whether It would not
DO best to invite the war at once and
have done with 1t. and the workipgmen.
fearing they have gone too far. are pre-.
pairing to resist the threatened attack.
The feeling among business people Is
that, IL this agitation Is kept up much
longer, it were better for all concerned
to see the end Of 1t, nc matter what the
cost.
A secret meeting OF citizens for the
purpose Of organizing a'vigilance com.
mittee was held night before last in the
Palace Hotel. The avowsd object OF the
organization is the suppression OF any
possible riot which might occur In con.
nection with the labor organization
movement.
Considerably inquiry among the gen.
tlemen supposed to be interested in the
reported Vigilance Committee movement
fails to draw out any direct information
on the subject. but there 10 good reason
to believe that the report Ia we'll founded
and that o thorough organization exists.
It is understood that Ksarnsy has gone

The San Francisco Trouble.

San Francisco. February &c. The
city is threatened with grave danger. A
riot may break out at any moment. EHi.
Gent means have been provided to deal
vigorously and mercilessly with the So
called sand.lottsrs. Four hundred po-
licemen. we'll drilled and thoroughly in
structed, are ready at a moments notice.
From 'hs National Guard companies
have been selected with great care. who
car be relied upon to obey orders. The
Citizens Committee Of Safety is q secret
but powerful organization, and il busily
Of work. The Federal forces In garrison
at the Preside and the forts are ready
to cooperate with the civil authorities.
II q conflict begins Il will result In the
speedy death OF Kearnsy and every other
prominent leader Of the sand-lotters. II
they can be found. Ksarney. Wellock,
Kalloch and Cannon are well aware Of
this. What Kearney said last Tuesday
night about the probabilities OF his death
is generally believed here to be based
upon tangible facts. Therefore these
leaders Of the nd.lotters will begin no
riot, and when the killing begins they
will probably be out OF the way. It Is
yet hoped that the danger may pass
away, but the best informed men do not
believe that bloodshsd can DO avertsd.
