The Auditor made his special report to
the House Of Delegates yesterday, show.
ing just what we have oil along affirmed,
vk-that the State has used Sl27,5ll Of tho
school money without paying interest on
it, lie shows that up to this time there Ia
an arrearage OF $97, ,7SG Al OF interest due
the School Fund.
Now compare this statement Of the Au.
diOr with the following piece OF bogus
glohlCation put out by the Wheeling
Register a few days ago:
Itisamatter Of great credit 10 the Dem.
oCratiC administrations OF the past ten
years that we have been able to meet the
expenses OF the Government with M in.
crease OF 100 per cent In some OF the
charges against the State treasury, Whae al
he sane iiWs GrOiding an inCreGSed tGrdit0n
That is to say, that the party after un.
ConstitulionslIy using $l27500 Of other
peoples money 10 cover over long stand.
Ink dehCenCiea, on which no interest has
been paid, takes credit Tor Its brilliant
fnsnciering, and actually boasts OF not
having added an increase Of taxation.
This is as II tho cashier OF one Of our
bsnEahere, after having used up the money
oitho stockholders, had supplied himself
from the money OF the depositors, and
then asked to have his salary raised for not
having made an assessment on tho stock.
Now II the balance OF the school fund
could only be ConGsCated in the same way,
we presume the financial glory Of the
party would be complete. Why not
recommend the passage OF Edmlston's
proposed raid Of $1,000 additional on the
fund for the Capitol at Charleston, and
then show in the next canvass, as in the
last one, how admirably the Democracy
have managed the finances Of the State.

Contrary TO what has been the general
expectation, what Is known as the fund.
ins bill passed the United States Senate
Yesterday with the per cent clause In.
tact, as 1t came from the House. This, too,
notwithstanding Senator BSyard from the
Senate FiRaucs Committee reported In
favor Of 81 per cent instead Of 8. The bill
also retains the clause that Compels the
National banks TO substitute these bonds
for the bonds which they now hold.
They are compelled to take three
per cent bond instead oil the Ave or
six per cent bonds coming due, and there
Is no abatement IN the taxes levied on
their circulation or deposits.
The financiers Of New York were thrown
into \ small scare yesterday when they
saw in what shape the bill had passed
They had been calculating on different
result in the Senate. They now profess
some alarm over Lhe possibility Of STAN.
pede on the part Of the banks 10 get out ol
the National system. The argument Is that
there Is nothing in three per cent bond
70 the banks, coupled with present taxa
ton. Hence they will discontinue the
system, and this movement will cause a
confusion and contraction Of the currency.
The National banks hold bonds In the
Treasury at Washington to secure their
calculation, to the extent oi SS5v, ,S02, ,2bO.
OF these bonds about s2l5, 100000 are in 8
aud per cent bonds that are payable In
May and June Of this year. The Conver.
siOn Of this amount Of bonds will Of
course create Of itselt a great demand iOr-
the new 3 per cents, provided the banks
conclude 10 10 on In the business. This
they may or may not do. Experienced
hnSnciers differ on this point. We cannot
see why they should not keep on under
the nationalsyOtem, seeing that even after
all deductions for tax on their circulation
they still have profit by the system.
10 SHOW how the operation works, we
will suppose q bank holding now 100000
in Oix per cent bonds, on which II receives
5000 ihterest peryear. II 1t exchanges
these bonds for 3 per cents lie interest is
Of course cut down 10 5000 per year.
But there Is 70 per cent Of
circulation issued to each National
bank having 100000 in bonds on deposit

issued to 1t the five per cent redemption
iund obliged to be kept on deposit at the
Treasury, and there remains Of losnable
funds, $S5,5OO. II this iS loaned at SAY q

$3.50. Deduct from this profit the one pei
