From the report OF the Conn

From the report Of the Comptroller
it appears that the total amount of
bonds heretofose issued by the state is
81. $50 ,s1G.66. The amosnt BOW
ouisAandipg is s20,Ie6 500. To this
asay Be added d Contingent liability Of
s7S5, bGo, on account of bonds iss1ed
which have never been presented for
registration Or renewal, and which are
supposed 70 have been lost or de-
-etreyed. If,Ife tots,l- interest le.g-sle,e
on the debt outstanding is s6,336, $50,
WHICH sum being added to the amount
Of outstanding bonds known, or be-
feyed 70 be in existence, makes 9
total liability Of s26,5f2, $50.
After giving revised history Of tie
creation Of the debt he Gays:
Now it must be remembered that
under this solemn pledge. made with
all the fornlalities Of law by the leg,
isIative authqrity-of the State, and ap.
proved BY the Governor, the holders
of past due bonds and coupons sur
rendered them and accepted our new
obligations, and nearly the entire
bonded debt Of the State was funded
upon the basis of this solemn declara-
ton, that to my mind there can be nc
well founded question as to the moral
and legal obligation Of the State for
the ultimate payment Of these bonds,
[ recognize the fact that the burden OF
! the payment IF this debt is an OnerUus
one; that car people arc still Iaboring
under the inipoyerishment brought on
| by the ravages of the war and tho
loss of property incident thereto, and
subsequent short crops; that they are
/ still suffering from the shEinkage d
values accompanying q return te
specie payments, and am fully per-
suaded that compromise or settle
ment of our Indebtedness upon JUS
and liberal principles will prove adj
vantageous both to the State and t.
the holders of the bonds.

WE give below the important points
of Gov. Hawkins Message.
From the late report Of the Comp
troller the amount of revenue from all
sources paid into the Treasury of the
State during that period was 81, III
1874, 50, being sS56,388,S2 less than
the receipts for the two preceding
years.
Various causes have continued to
produce this decrease, the principal one
of which, was the reduction in the rate
of taxation from 40 cents to 10 cents
on the $500 worth oftaxsble property
The burdens Of taxation should be
made to bear alike upon ali classes Of
property. A slipshod system of assess
ing property, which allows the design
ing owners of large property in person.
alities to escape taxation, throws an
unequal burden upon real estate to the
,nanifest injury of the agricultural in
terests of the country

bear, about, a year old, was brought
in, the floor cleared, and q grand

woman led off. Standing face to face

in token that his ribs could stand no

After the bear we had a jumping

the crowd. Then followed a target
shoot, i'll which every one beat me.
Then The bear and the dog had a bout,
and the dog was used up. In the eve

we got ready for bed the old woman
read seven or eight lines from a bat

voked by Mr.. Davis book will de-
velop something new. Upon the
name of the book, "The Rise and Fall
of the Confederate Government"
Mr.. Davis was decided, even against
the protest of friends, who objected
that it suggested the title of another
work. The sale of the book will be,
it is expected, something enormous,
and applications for agencies are hur-
rying forward, the fret editions be-
ing expected within a month or six
weeks. Mr.. Davis will take some
months of complete leisure, although
his health is much better than it was
when he began his work. The quiet
days at Beauvolr, the bracing air of
the Gulf aud the systematic work
have filled the old man with strength.
He says, however, that he will not
take part in the discussions thai will
follow the publication of his book,
except to furnish the proof for state
ments of important character that
are challenged by reputable critics.

HANNIBAL & ST. JOSEPH BONDS.

JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 22.-The
Hannibal s. St. Joseph Railroad Com
pany has again written the governor
and fund commissioners in relation to
the payment of the SIS, 900 900 in bonds,
not yet matured, which were issued to
that company by the state in 1855 and
renewed 1875, and for the payment
of which by the Hannibal company the
state holds a lien on the property of
the company. The proposition to pay
them was received by the governor to-
day. A meeting OF the fund commits
sioners was held this afternoon and the
attorney general Was instructed to give
his written opinion as to whether or not
the state should accept the money at
this tlme. By accepting the money the
state will have to pay the interest on
the bonds, which cannot be collected
until maturity. Half the amount falls
due IN 1886 and the balance in 1894.
The state has no use for the money at
present, there being only $1,000, 900 in
bonds that can be called in, and it is
thought the sinking fund will be ade-
quate to redeem these.
