beyond tlio narrow bounds of their country
and rose into offices of trust and importance,
in all tho nations of the worldThere
were no societies for the diffusion of
useful knowledge in those days, llut
the Sabbath was kept holy; it wan a day
of which every dissipating frivolity was
excluded by a stem senso of duty. The
popular mind, with weight imparted to
it by the pulpit addresses of the day,
expatiated on matters of grave import, of

and strengthen, not scatter and wcekcn,the
faculties; and cog'tations of the weak
came to bear in consequence a Sabbath
day stamp of depth and solidity. The
one in the seven struck the tone for the
other six. Our modern apostles of popular
instruction rear up no such men
among tho masses as were developed
under tho Sabbatarian system in Scotland
Their aptest pupils prove but the loqua
cious gabblers of the respective worships
?shallow superficiality, that bear on the
surface of their tninds a thin diffusion of
ill-rcmetubered facts and crude theories
and scarcely, indeed, do we see them
rising in the scale of society; they become
Socialists by hundreds, and Chartists by
thousands, and get no higher. The disseminator
of more useful knowledge take?
aim at the popular iornorance! hut. hU in.
Apt and scientific gunnery does not include
in its calculations tlio parabolic course ol
man's spiritual nature; and so, aiming di.
rect at the mark, lie aims too low, and the
charge falls short.
Jt-rT Tlio" Committee of ways ami
Means, to whom was referred the Report
of the Comptroller General, together w itl
the accompanying vouchers, ask leave tc
REPORT.
That they have carefully examined the
same, and find all of the entries correctly
made, and the charges duly vouched, w ith
tho exception of an amount of $371,45
for vrhich your committeo have not yet received
the voucher, but which has been
sent for to the Treasury of the Lower Division.
The examination of theso documents is
very gratifying, as exhibiting a very flourishing
condition of the finances of this
State.
The total indebtedness of the State consists
of Five Loan Bonds,
amounting to 1(1,743,307,93
Tlio remains of tho
State, three, five and six
per cents 171,071,04
A small debt to the Catawba
Indians, of 24,710,71
and the surplus revenue 1,051,422,09
Making altogether ?2,980,577,77
But, if from this wc
deduct what we know
it will never bo required
of us to pay, viz.: the
surplus revenue 1,051,422,09
We shall have $1,929,153,08
The whole of the amount,
except the debt
to the Catawbas, of *24,910,71
is chargeable upon the
bank of the State, which
is required by the various
Acts authorizing thoss
debts, to pay the interests,
and redeem the principal
amounts, as they fall due.
So that, for the extinguishment
of au amount
of 1,904,438,97
of debt, wo have pledged
the profits and capital of
an institution, and active
means of which may be
put down at 3,611,005,92
And your committee
deem it unnecessary to
state, that the State has,
in auuiuon to thin, n
large amount of railway
shares, amounting,
at their par
value, to 1,342,350,00
Your committee farther
report, that on tho
first of October last,
there remained a balance
in the Treasury of 270,074,40
in favor of the State.
En. ag-.uflt this is
chargeable 230,351,45
being balances of
appropriations subject
to draft; so that tho
actual balance is 40,322,05
To which inny be added
39,570,00
the probable amount
for the current fiscal
year, of dividends on
shares, bekl by the State
in vail roads, and we
shall have an amount of 85,808,05
To which, if we add the
estimated yield of the
jnvjAJwm v] jruur
committee 313,345,00
we shall make up the sura
of 300,243,05
which jour committee regard
as amp!j sufficient
to meet the calk of the
urrent jear. And they
ako ask leave to submit
