After a marriage ceremony had been Srformed in one of the churches in Adrian,* ichigan, the bride, when receiving the congratulations of her friends, shed tears, according to the usual custom, at the sight of which the groom followed Bait, and copiously.

It is estimated that the whole amount of money derived from the income tax this year will not exceed $10,000,000, aud that to collect this amount will cost $9,300,000, the same as last year. This will leave only . about $700,000 for the Treasury. The balance will go to support an army of officeholders. ; These estimates are based on figures fipmished by such loyal men as Commissioner Rollins and Congressman Schenck, and are not very far, probably, from the truth. ' I A traveler in the East writes that the site of the Garden of Eden is, according to tradition, located at the junction of the Euphrates and the Tigris, at an Arab village called Korneh. Scattered along the bank are about two hundred houses, made of reed and thatch, while on the extreme point, where the rivers meet, a shanty has been built for a telegraph station! It is (says The Cfrurchnum) somewhat curious to think of telegraphic despatches being sent to the Garden of Eden; and it removes a certain halo with which our imagination has surrounded the spot. But modern progress has penetrated those countries of the Past which have been long in decay, and they are doubtless destined to undergo a wonderful resurrection. In order to show how much the American people lose by not saving the pieces, it may be interesting to know that under the rules of the United States Treasury all mutilated bank notes are redeemed according to the degree of mutilation. A note with a certain portion of its superficial surface torn off is never redeemed at its full value, but in proportion to the quantity of superficial surface presented for redemption. Since greenbacks came into fashion the redemption division of the Treasury has been constantly engaged in redeeming this mutilated currency, and an account of the discount has been kept, which shows an aggregate up to the present date of >186,893,82 which the Government has made off the torn currency, all of which has, of course, come out of the pockets of the holders. r A Washington correspondent says that "the administration is not well pleased with Mr. Washburne's recent conduct in Paris, and the manner in which he announced his gratification at the formation of a French Republic.. Mr. Fish, it is said, has officially informed him that his conduct is considered very undiplomatic. The dispatches sent to oar ministers in relation to the war were very 1 riront ond Secretary G(|UlVOCm? x ****** ^ Fish both want to have better assurances of the stability of the French Republic before they accord it an absolute recognition. They were willing to recognize the de facto government for the time being, and to deal with it whenever necessary, but they recognize the fact that the war is not yet over, and that King William may yet change the whole as pe6U)Lpolitical affairs. Indeed, as matters fook now,lie pfepo8e$ to treat with Napoleon as tbe proper ruler of France an3 to utterly ignore the new government. A New York letter, of the 9th in. stant, says: "Though the European war is un\ doubtedfy exercising an unfavorable influence \on the fall trade, yet there are indications of i busy time among the merchants during the remainder of the month. The leading dry snoods houses have their employees at work till midnight, many of them executing orders for the South and "West. The New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston and Virginia steamships are receiving as much freight as they can find room for, while all the railroads leading in the same direction have their carrying capacity fully tested, even at the advanced rates which go into operation to-day. This activity is not confined to dry goods. The hardware, boot and shoe dealers, and the grocers largely participate. The produce and provision trade, perhaps, feel the effects of the war most directly. The orders from the French Government, which came in at the outset, have all been filled, with no present probability of a renewed demand, even at the ruling low prices." ?br fforMle inquirer. wS YORKVIL.L.E, S.C.: THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 22,1870.

We publish this week an account of the Republican mass-meeting held in Yorkville ou last Saturday, and give a summary of the. speeches?publishing them as fully as our; columns will admit without excluding other matters necessary for this issue,. We do this that our readers may see for themselves the arguments upon which the leaders of that party claim the support of the people. We believe that those of our citizens who were present will admit that we have given a fair report of the speeches. ,j As our readers will see,there was much of the usual "buncombe" customary on such occasions, but with the exception of one speaker, we were glad , to see so much less than usual of those appeals to the passions and, prejedices of the colored race, which have heretofore characterised the pddressos of the Republican orators. In giving these speeches to the public, we would warn our readers to take the facts and figures of Mr. Tomlinson with a considerable grain of allowance, for though we expressly disclaim to charge that gentleman with any - ' -?j- ?i falsification 01 tne recorus, yew we uu luiua his comparison of the expenses of the State under Democratic and Republican administrations most unfair. We have not the data at hand upon which to give exact figures, but our readers will see that from the vast sum total of Republican expenditures, Mr. T-omlinson makes many and large deductions, while from Democratic expenditures he makes no deductions at all. We see no reason why the interest paid on the public debt in 1859 or 1860 should not be deducted from the expenditures of those years. If the Legislatures before the war, by means of the State Bank, or in any other way, relieved the people of present ^r prospective not be allowed the credit ofjit. We only wish that our present Legislature would follow their example. Again, why should not the expenses incurred in 1838 and 1860 in building the State House ao&ibr other extraordinary purposes, be deducted from the governmental expenses of those years, as well as these same expenses from the sum total of debt incurred by the administration of 1868 | and 1869? If this was done, we think a comparison of State expenditures since and before the war would be as startling to the public as they were when set forth in their gross amounts by Gen. Kershaw and others of the Reform party. I We will not refer particularly to the other j speeches. They are before our readers, and will be accepted for what they are worth. FROM EUROPE. | The siege of Paris is virtually begun, as the | Prussians were within eight miles of the city 1 ? ooet of l?isf. A/wMints. The UU (/11C 9UUU1 dUU VMWV) W V republican government declare a determinal tion to defend the city to the last extremity. An army for the relief of Paris is being formed in Southern France. Bazaine still holds Metz against the Prussians, and Strasbourg also. In Italy, the army of Victor Emanuel has besieged Rome, and the surrender of the city was hourly expected on the 19th. The i negotiations for a compromise between the i Pope and the Italians, before the occupation j of Rome by the latter, failed of success. WHITE COMPANIES. Dr. J. L. Neagle expressed great surprise last Saturday that the Enquirer recommends the formation of white companies. He thinks that, considering the good feeling between the races, the white people ought to feel perfectly secure with an armed guard of colored men to preserve law and order; and that, so far as he is concerned, he could sleep serenely with a colored guard around him. In reply, we say that while good feeling has existed between the races hitherto, the arijiing of one exclusively must create ill-will. The unarmed race cannot reasonably look upon the arming of the other as anything but an insult; for it must be construed either that the whites are not to be trusted with arms in the cause of law and order, or that the blacks require arms to preserve their rights. Either of these suppositious is an insult to the white people. It is expressly to appease this outraged sense of right, and to allay any rising spirit of jealousy on account of being put at a disadvantage, that we advocate the formation of white companies. Nor can we see any reasonable objection to this course. If, as Dr. Neagle says, the arming of colored men ought not to give offence to the whites, by all the rules of logic the arming of the whites ought not to offend the blacks. The argument of good feeling applies as well in one case as the other, and we see no reason why the Doctor should not be as willing to sleep in the care of a white as of a colored company. But there is another reason for the organization of white companies. Whether truly or not, the colored militia have been privately informed that the object of their organization is to scare and keep down the white people. Such a belief as this can only be cornbatted by a counter organization, which wil] satisfy the militia that the white people an not soared. We therefore repeat the advice to form white companies for service in the militia, if accepted, and for a measure of pre caution in any event, as the very best preventive of disorder. The issue presented to the whites is none of their seeking; but it is be fore them, and they must choose between the alternatives of blindly putting themselves at the mercy of an ignorant colored militia, or confronting threats with preparation. _ THE MILITIA QUESTION. The Yorkville Enquirer sayB, in Bubstance: "Let the whites arm themselves so as to be j prepared for making peace." It is as if a man should say: "I wUl make myself a set of burglar's toou? so as to prevent thieves from breaking into ihy house." People provide instruments for ifce purpose of using them.?1 Charleston Republican. The Republican interprets correctly the meaning of our article advocating the forma- j tion of white, militia companies, and we feel under obligations to that journal for expressing our idea so concisely. But its comparison is lame on one leg. The colored militia may perhaps be, as the Republican delicately intimates, a set of thieves; but the means we propose to keep them from "breaking into our houses" are not "Durgiar b ioois, out we?puuo of defence. Our cotemporary is also correct in supposing that when our people provide in! 8truments they intend to use them. They would have preferred to leave the protection of civil rights in the hands of the constituted civil authorities, where the law places it; but if it is decreed otherwise, they must take care of themselves the best way they can. !?LJ?? ? THE CHESTER. REPORTER. Maj. Edward O. McLure, announces in the Reporter of last week that he has disposed of his interest in, that paper to hikWpartlier, John A. Bradley, Esq., and abandoned the editorial chair. While we frilly recognize the fact that the Reporter is stHl in competent hands, we regret that Maj. McLdre has retired from a position for which he is so eminently qualified, and the duties of which he discharged so well. We predict for him a brilliant" career in any avocation to which he may devote his talent and energies; and ex-; tend to Mr. Bradley the hope that the Reporter may receive from the people the material support to which it is so conspicuously entitled. REFORM ITEMS. ? An election for town council was held in Spartanburg on the. 12th instant. No special interest was felt until a few days before the election, when a thorough.Radical ticket was nominated. , The Reform party thereupon improvised-a ticket, which was elected by a majority of forty-six. The same party anticipate a large majority for their State and county ticket at. tjie Oetober election. ; ? The Marion Orescent says the meeting - .1 ' -frv.1 _l 1 i-i?A in tnat place on tne jl^ui was migeuj ancuued by white and black. The speakers in attendance were Messrs. Carpenter and Butler, General Kennedy and Rev. Jonas Byrd. The weather was delightful. The meeting was held in the open air, in front of the court house, and lasted four or five hours. The speaking was off-hand and telling, and, for the first time since the close of the war, the colored population listened with apparent interest, and die Cresm^t thinks an impression was made. The. speakers were interrupted from time to time with questions from the Repnblicans present., These were answer?d with spirit, and the meeting was.qijit?lively. ? The Columbi&jPh&,nix says: "The report having been spread in the vicinity of Pomaria, Newberry, county, S. C., by the Radicals, that the Reform movement was inimical to the colored peopK.and that the conservative victory in North Carolina had resulted in putting throwback in, duasi slavery, two. colored 'one a Leaguer and the other a Reformer, were induced to visit Raleigh, N. C., to see for themselves, and bring back their reports. They went, and, we are informed by our Pomaria correspondent, have returned, fully satisfied of the base falsehoods that had been told them., They returned delighted with their treatment. At Raleigh, they saw Mr. Turner, and were liberally supplied with copies of the Conservative Committee's address to the people of North Carolina. At Charlotte, the colored delegates heard ex-Govern^ Vance speak, and were much pleased. It is thought that good must result from the visit ,of these colored men. The idea of sending them was sensible and practical." STATE*ITEMS. ? Col. C. W. Dudley, of Marlboro', has announced his acceptance of the nomination as a candidate for Congress from the first Con greseional District ? The Columbia papers announce the death in that city, a few days ago, of Mrs. Boggs, wife of Rev. G. W. Boggs, and mother of Rev. W. E. Boggs, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in' Columbia. ? According to the Charleston Courier [ the income of Trial Justices in that city is not to be sneezed at?one of them having recently sent iti his bill for four thousand dollars for one month. ? In consequence of the prevalence of cholera, small pox .and yellow fever at Havana Governor Scott has issued a proclamation directing thaf' vessels arriving at the ports oi i. this State from Cuba shall be quarantined, i ? The Courier says that a State official ar i rived in Charleston last Friday, for the pur! pose of examining the County Treasurer's af fairs, about which there have been some grave rumors. There is a strong probability of a i "rotation in office" in this case. ? Maj.' John Leland, President of the LaurenBville Female College, was robbed oi I $175 00 last week. Maj, Leland's clothes were extracted from the room in. which he slept by an open window, the pockets rifled) and the clothes returned to the chamber. In the book containing the money, were valuable . papers. ; . ? The Radicals of Charleston have made their nominations for County officers and members of the General Assembly. Out oi i the twenty-four candidates nominated, only j eight are white men. Bowen and DeLarge, candidates for Congress, are yet both in the ' field; but the adherents of each have agreed to support the County nominations. ? The Executive Committee of the Reform ! norti. Viaxra ftirented the assembling- of a Con r~v # o vention in Columbia, on Tuesday, the 27th . instant, for the purpose of nominating a canr didate for Congress from the third Congresi i sional District, which is composed of the : j counties of Orangeburg, Lexington, Richland, 11 Newberry, Edgefield, Abbeville and Ander ison. s j ? The Augusta CoiutUutionalvit, of the I 16th instant, says: "About a week or ten days ago, a white man named Williams, a ' contractor on the Port Royal Rail Road, sold a mule to Dr. C. Fawns, veterinary sur geon, in thirty, for $80. A few days aftei the sale of the mule, a colored man, Hen ry Black, from Silverton, appeared at the I stable of. Dr. Fawns and identified the mule j as his property, which he had hired to a j negro, Henry Hutchinson, whom he had sue5 ceeded in arresting by shooting him, on Fri day night, the 9th, and who is yet confined in the Freedman's Hospital from the wound rej ceived. Upon tjhe necessary identification Dr, Fawns surrendered the mule to the proper s owner, and started out a day or two after i i ' ward to recover the money which he bad paid i to Williams for the mule. Remote and us*" i certain as was the prospect of finding WO- ( liams, the Doctor, by dint of perseverance and < a long ride, succeeded in overtaking hiqt b6- ] low Beaufort, S. C., and secured $96 in cashf ] and an order upon the paymaster of the Port i Royal Rail Road for $75, in payment for eqp- I penses incurred by the necessary trip to saf?" i himself from loss, and returned to the city 1 Wednesday morning." ? The Columbia Phcenix says the tournament at-Glenn Springs on the 15th instant 1 was "a decided success." The following were | the successful knights : Dr. Wm. Smith-^ , "Lost Knight"?who crowned Miss KawRtt- ] son as Queen of Love and . Beauty. J. W. < Thompson?"Saladin"?who selected the First ( Maid of Honor. Jas. H.

The costume ball was a brilliant affair, and was largely attended. ? The Winnsboro News sayB: "Milly Jackson, a negro girl in the employ of a colored man, as nurse, on the plantation of Mr. John Cameron, about eight miles North of &ia|! place, having committed some misdemeanor, was chastised by the said colored man, her employer. Shortly after the employer left the house, the negro girl, through refregfcfc built a fire in the cradle containing a coUttj, ehijld and burnt it tp death, after jrhkhg^BM fire to the hone^ consuming it and <ne cSWP' The child waB only seven months old.

From the fact that they were both destroyed on, the same night, we judge that there was a conspiracy formed by certain parties for the purpose. - 'We understand that a thorough examination will be had, and that if necessary a detective wiH-fee employed to work up the case.

EDITORIAL INKLINGS. Election Hours-?Correction. In the extracts from the election law published last week, a part of section sixth was inadvertently omitted.

South Carolina Institute Fair. We have received from Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell, a copy of the Premium 1 List of the South Carolina Institute Fair, to be held in Charleston on Tuesday, the 1st of November next. It is a pamphlet of mote 1 than 100 pages containing, besides the pre1 mium list, an interesting sketch of Charleston, illustrated by numerous engravings. It 1 also contains a history of the discovery of the Charleston phosphates, and a description of the operations of the various companies "flow1 bringing this fertilizer into market. A Bold Offer. Gen. F. J. Moses' fidelity to the Republican party has hitherto been unquestioned; but he made one proposition last Saturday, ' which sounds as if he intended to quit his p present allies. He said that if it could be j proved that the Republican office-holders have VI . J il tl!. x _/ i. j ever roooea me puuaic treasury ui uue ueut, he would abandon the party. This we regard as downright treason, especially when uttered in the presence nf f>/Neagle, who openly rejoices in the possession 1 of a "money-making" office. , The State Fair. p "We have received from Col.

I Contempt of Court. In the Supreme Court at Columbia, last ! week, an order was issued requiring A. C. . Spain, Esq., of Sumter, to show cause, on the ! first day of the November term, why^ie should . not be attached for a contempt committed in . the presence of the Court. The contempt coni sists in Spain having, in a brief which he read before the Court, characterized the Chief-Jus* . tice as "one F. J. Moses, purporting to be the Chief-Justice of the State." If Spain gets ? justice done him he will be severely punished, ! for if it does not suit him to treat the Court r respectfully, he should not attempt to practice | before it. Carpenter's Decision?In Be Wimbush. Hon. Lucius "NVimbush, colored Senator from Chester, has made a good deal of fuss > about the injustice of Judge Carpenter's eel! ebrated Orangeburg decision, which was to k the effect that under the law of South Carolina, as it then stood, a colored woman could not prosecute for bastardy, l But, strange as it may seem, we learn from the Reporter that Wimbush took refuge under. this decision, when prosecuted in a trial jus1 tice's court on the charge of bastardy. His counsel pleaded that the offence, if committed, pas committed before the passage of the civil ( rights bill, which conferred the right of pros- < scution for bastardy on colored women. ' He jven went farther than Jndge Carpenter, j pleading that even now a colored woman may ( prosecute a white man, but not a colored man, j for bastardy. The argument was satisfactory i bo the trial justice, and the legislative Lotha- ] no was acquitted. Common gratitude ought to make him vote fbr Carpenter, rhe Cotton Crop In the South. , The Agricultural Bureau at Washing- < ton, on the 15th instant, issued the usual i monthly report, showing the condition of the ' crops throughout the country. The following * 1 i il_ ^ 11 telegrapnic synopsis m regara 10 me cuium crop in the Southern States is of interest to . our people at this time, furnishing, as it does, in condensed form, data upon which to esti- i mate the size of the incoming crop. The re- , port says: "The average of reports from North Carolina shows the condition of the crops five per cent, better than at the same date last year, ! but there are reports of injury by rust, and 1 the bolls falling off, caused by wet weather. South Carolina is five per cent, above, but i rust is prevalent and the yield diminished by the intensely hot and dry weather.

The worm has done much damage* and excessive rains have been disastrous in some localities. Arkansas promises ten per cent, better than at thus date last year, with few complaints of injury. Tennessee and Missouri are about an average, though several correspondents rate the crop considerably below Ia8tyear, hnle88 there should be a similarly favorablefall. There is little in the figures of our reporters to indicate a decreased yield of cotton, and favorable weather henceforth must-insure considerable increase. From the Columbia Phoenix, 18th instant. .

Enquirer.] ? WATCHING THE COUNT. . I With the design of guarding against frauds at the ballotrbox, the central executive committee of the Reform party have issued a circular to the chairmen of county executive committees, with the following direotions: I You are charged with naming the central i executive committee residing at the Court | House, and we suggest that you name some ! one of either color, if practicable, and not let j your committee be too large: 1. This committee must immediately ap-, j point a sub-committee for each township, beat, or some other practicable division. 2. Each sub-committee should proceed at once to organize its section into clubs or,societies. ' 3. Each club or society should appoint an active, intelligent man to make a list of every 1 voter in his township or section, with his political proclivities opposite his name. 4. These lists should be forwarded to the :entral committee at the Court House, and sonsolidated, each club keeping a copy. 6. Every man favorable to the Reform noyement mould be assigned the duty of in-, j luencing one or more votes, and take charge >f them on the day of election, and see that ^ :hey reach the polls, or remain away if unfavorable ; and when the voters have no trans[>ortation, see that it is provided. j 6. On the day of election, two or three lisoreet and intelligent men should be assigned by the central executive committee to go * to each election precinct, with a list of tne ] voters alphabetically made out, and keep an account of the voters and challenge illegal . voters.

ELECTION LAWS OY SOUTH CAROLINA. 1 The writer calls attention to the act of the < General Assembly of South Carolina, entitled "an act providing for the general elections, and the manner of conducting the same," ( Approved, March 1st, 1870. It will be found , published in the issue of the Yorkville En- | quieer dated September 15,1870. By the , provision of this act the Commissioners of ( elections deliver to the precinct managers the , ballot-boxes locked, the former retaining the ; kevs. "At the close of the election and within . ? t three daya after the day thereof," the managers return the boxes to the Commiseioners. On Tuesday following the election, the commissioners meet at the county seat to count the votes. Now these provisions are matters of great importance. It is'"surprising that (he' ; State journals and State Reform canvassers fiave taken so little notice of this Act, which clearly opens the door to fraud. It is to no purpose that voters deposit their ballots for reform, unless they have some guarantee that the votes shall be fairly counted. Heretofore it has been customary for the managers of elections to count the votes publicly at each precinct, immediately after the polls are closed. This Act permits the managers of elections to retain the boxes from Wednesday evening (the day of the election) until Saturday night; and it allows the Commissioners to have the boxes in their keeping from Saturday night until Tuesday following. What is the meaning of so much time being allowed to count the votes of one County ? It means fraud. Article 1st, Section 33 of the Constitution of South Carolina declares "the right of suffrage shall be protected by ,Iaw?,reg> s ulating elections." This act invites ftnd ^ i doe^. not seek to ward it off. It certainly dpes not protect the people against it n , Again, the Governor of, the- State bas.the power to appoint the commissioners. He can appoint partisan Commissioners. His partisan Commissioners can appoint partisan managers. Allow a week for the ballot-boxes to be in possession of these partisan officers, and what guarantee have the people against fraud? The Reform Convention which met in Yorkville on the 1st Monday in this month touched. missioners ,of York to apppytt. at.lypdr one manager from the-Reform'flirty at e?fch'precinct. This request is reasonable and feir, and w/s Jwp^wiijdje complied frith j JIM With the ballot-box in its clutches, and the bayonet &t? its* hadk, the a&nintetration seeks to win. Spe to It, fellow-ctfjzens, that it fails, as Holdendid, and liberty>fe your reward. Purity of the ballot-box is one of the blessings of freedom; let those beware who dare pollute it. SjENTINEL. ?, Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. , cort^nocii.y1-? / Union C. H., Sept 17,1870. Our Circuit Court adjourned on Thursday, after a session of nearly three weeks. Judge ^ " r r ' ^ * * Thomas arrived at Union on Saturday, 27th August, direct from Europe, where he had been spending the summer. He commenced his duties on the Monday following, and remained with; us as long as the lawyers gave him work to do. i.; .( if--.ii!.' * It is to be regretted that our newspaper, the Times, should have misapprehended the remarks of the presiding judge upon the subject of assault and battery. So far. from Saying that our people know nothing.about this misdemeanor, he said the very reverse. He charge^ that in the eye of the law, a man had no more'right to strike another than he had to take mouey^ut of that other's pocket. This proposition cannot be questioned. He further Bald that our. people were too prone to take the law into their own hands, and resent an insult with a blow. ? t. . The juries here, under the charge of the Judge, followed the example set them in the neighboring : counties, in sedlittg old debts. One jury gave one half :of principal and ininterest calculated to date; the other jury gave the face of the paper- without interest The Times, to-day, contains the declination of Capt. F. 6. Latham as a candidate for the House of Representatives, in consequence of his being ineligible. This is to be regretted. He would have been a strong man in the legislature. We have had a week of cold rain. The planters complain of rust in their cotton. The cotton market has scarcely opened yet. Our merchants are now in New York purchasing fall and winter goods. The Reform party will carry Unioti by about 500 majority. ECHO. The South Carolina Institute Fair. | The preparations which are being made for ' 1 ' - ? ? T M LV'ii aliAUT ill O f I ine approaumug luuutuw x nu ouun wiuu offieers of the Institute are resolved to make it a grand affair. The Washington Race Course hftft been-leased for a term often yeans and a substantial building is now in course of erection there. When completed it will measure three hundred feet in length by eighty feet in width, and forty feet in height to the top of the roof. This extensive builaing will be fitted up with special reference to the purposes of the fair. It will be well lighted and ventilated, having one hundred and fifty-four windows (of which eighteen are doable) and fourteen doors. The main entrances will be on either end. Four stairways will lead to a piazza ten feet broad, which will run the entire length of the building! It feces the race track, which will be placed in thorough order for racing and trotting matches. '> A steam engine, amply sufficient in point of power, will be placed in the north end of the building, and supplied with as much shafting as may be necessary to run all the machinery placed on exhibition. Refreshment stands will be erected, and will be sold at auction, with the special condition that no spirituous liquors whatever shall be. sold by those using them. The entire grounds will be surrounded with a close fence eight feet high. Large stables will be erected for horaes and stock which may be on exhibition, and ar! rangements have been made to supply abundant fodder on the grounds at city prices. The land in the neighborhood of the main building will be prepared for the purpose of testing the working capacity of agricultural implements. It will be recollected that the directors of the Institute at the last meeting of the City Council, petitioned for a loan or appropriation from the city of $15,000. As yet, Coun- J cil has taken no action, beyond referring the j matter to a committee. As the success of the fair is in a great measure dependent upon this amount of monCy being secured, it is to be hoped that the loan will be made at the meeting of Council to be held on Tuesday next.?

He admit ted, however, that the Republican p^rty is charge able with one-half this?the. interest not being atu until July?thus making the sum justly chargeabli to the present administration for expenditures ii 1868 to be $1,250,000. \ The speaker then insisted that tnis latter amount should still be farther reduced by thirty per cent, on account of the difference between correnoy now and the gold basis of expenditmesin 1859. mfckuu therefore a deduction of $257,000, and leaving i balance of $993,000, and that'cdnsequebtlv, th< difference between these two 'years is only pi 36,000. i : : fr>ll The speaker then compared the expenses of th< ' State government in 1860 and' *869, stating th< former to be $559,000, and the lawer $I',103;000, Mr. Tomlinson then claimed, on the ground, aswt understood him, that they were extraordinary expenses, and hot liable to be again incurred; thai there sbonld be deducted from the last-mentioned sum $20,000 for repairing State House; $48,000 for the census ordered by the Convention of 1868; $75,000 for the completion of the penitentiary; $4000 for quarantine buildings on Morris Island ; And $338,000 for payment of interest on the State debt?making a total deduction of $485,000 and leaving a balance of $617,000, which he said was opteprop^hi-cbaraeablp as earpeo?aM/fi*?te'?ojernment in 1869, against $549,000 in i860. He stated that this deduction of $339,000 far payment of interest is made from the fact that the nett profits of the Stale.
