This town belongs lo Austria, and ls situated on the Adlge, about seventy mlleB northwest Irom Venice. It ls In an Alpine valley, ls a well built town, has a Byzantine Cathedral dating irom 1212, and ls noted as the place where (In the red marble church of st. Marla Maegiore) the famous Council of Trent held its sessions. During the middle ages Trent was a free city, governed by Prince-Bishop0, like Tr?ves and Mayence. Its Latin name was Tridentum, and our .ives would be but spent In vain were we not aware that "lt was supposed to have been founded by the Bhotians ol Etruria." Trent has an odor of sanctity about lt, through the historical and ecclesiastical Importance of the great council which opened in 1645 and lasted till 1564. If Pius IX should leave Borne it vor.ld only be as a temporary expedient, for he firmly believes that in time the present Italian Government will be overthrown, and that the Pontiff, if driven into exile, will ulti? mately return la' triumph, as he did irom Avignon, in France, over Ave centuries ago. The Senators and The Rews. It would seem to be a necessary incident of each session of our precions Legislature that the generally amiable and always truth? ful gentleman who may happen, for the nonce, to be charged with the unsavory task of chronicling its deeds and misdeeds for this journal, should be visited with some signal mark of the displeasure of one or of both the Houses. This time it is the Senate that is in dudgeon, and it is the imputation of bribery that has done the mortal bart to its tender sensibilities. The Kornau augurs, we are told, contd never look each other in the face, lest a guilty smile should betray the systematic shams with which, under the cover of anstere countenances, they were wont to delude the populace. It is not hard to fancy the broad grins and the tell-tale disclosure of Senatorial ivories which the consideration of the resolution introduced yesterday to squelch the correspondent of THE CHARLESTON NEWS must inevitably pro. voke. We hope that no senator whose breeches pockets are still distended with the crisp reward of his vote for the Bine Ridge swindle will fail to gi\ ~s a sample of bis indignant eloquence daring the dis? cussion. We can promise them that THE NEWS, which is always for Fair Play, will do its utmost to give them the benefit of a fail hearing._ _ The Financial Condition of the State as Reported by Comptroller Neaglr. We have received at last a printed copy of the long delayed annual report of Comptrol? ler-General Neagle, and now lay before the public a summary of ils most interesting statements. An analysis of the snms due to, and owing by, the State shows that the amount of bonds and stocks outstanding on October 31, 1871, was $16,171,374, as compared with a total of $9,865,904 one year earlier. The different classes of bonds and stocks and the amount j ' of each class outstanding OD October 31, j 11870, and October 31, 1871, is shown in the ! following table : Oct. 81,1870.

Land Com? mission bond?, 1870... 500.000 500,000 Total.$9,865,904 $16,171,374 It will be noticed that there is an increase of $450,000 in the amount of the loan to provide means for the payment of interest on the public debt, and, according to the construction which the State officials put upon the law, they coald just as well issue ten millions a3 two; but the chief increase is in the bonds issued for the conversion of State securities, which are increased in amount from SI, 201,800 in 1870 to $7,191, 700 in 1871. As any one can see who will take the trouble to look at the Conversion act, no bond or certificate of stock may be i38ued except upon the surrender of a cer? tificate of stock ora bond of equal amount; yet nearly six millions of conversion bonds are issued without any diminution in the vol-1 unie of the remainder of the public debt Indeed, we have convincing evidence on this point from Mr. Treasurer Parker, who re I ports that during the year ending October 31, 1871, only $8,500 of State bonds have been converted into stock, and only $28,640 in stock bave been converted into Conver? sion bonds. " We find, also, on page 59, of ? Comptroller Neagle's report, a statement by Treasurer Parker, io which is attached anote explaining that $3,773,000 of the bonds issued under the Conversion act are held in New York "os collateral security for loans, "aggregating less than $1,000,000." This is conclusive proof that the Conversion bonds which, under the law, could only be issued in exchange for equal amounts of State stock or bonds, have been issued to the amount of many millions without any sun ender of equivalent securities, and are used, instead, as collateral security for loans procured by lb* State. The facta speak for themselves. The table of receipts and. expenditures for I X JXLi vniniiin ?. the year ending October 31,1871, shows that the receipts of the year were $1,887,011 46, and the payments $1,853,976 81. Among the receipts we find that taxes produced $1,248,663 14. This seems a Bmall amount in view of the enormous rate of taxation, bat it mast be borne in mind that this ac? count does not include the tax of 1871 amounting to $1,281,000-due before Jan? uary 15,1872. Nor have the huge tax levies met the expenses of the government; for we have the authority of the Colombia Union, as well as of the State officials, for the state? ment that the deficiency, in the current rev? enue of three years of Radical rule, is over two million dollars. The redemption of lands sold for taxes brought $326 47 into the Treasury, and the Marine and River Phos? phate Company paid the State $17,655. From the Financial Agent of the State $571, 558 were received, and from thc- conversion of State securities $5. Among the expendi? tures the Legislature figures for $280,361, salaries consume $159,243, the militia take $8,174, the free schools are charged with $136,504, the printing and advertising come to $133,651, and interest on the debt takes only $176,371. The State paid $19,155 for arms and ammunition, $3,600 in fees to coun? sel in railroad tax cases, $33,473 for sundry claims, and $520,700 to the Financial Agent Sut, already enough ! In the nominal value of the assets of the State, there is no change. The assets in? clude 13,100 shares in the Blue Ridge Rail? road Company which, Comptroller Neagle says, have been sold by the Sinking Fand Commissioners, although the fact had not been officially made known. If we are not mistaken Governor Scott, in his last annual message, informed the Legislature that the Blue Ridge stock had been sold at $1 a share, and that the purchasers undertook to liquidate the floating debt of the company. The State stock is a majority of the whole, and controls the road. It was sold for $13, 100, which amount may not yet be paid, and the Legislature gives the purchasers $1, 800,000 with which to cancel the very float? ing debt which they had agreed to pay. The sale of the stock at the ridiculously low price of one dollar a share was only excused by the plea that the purchasers had agreed to pay off all the debts of the road, and right npon the heels of this transaction, the Legislature passes the Blue Ridge bill, which bestows upon the Ring nearly two million dollars with which to pay off a debt of six or seven hundred thousand. Why are not the Ring held to their bargain ? The par chasers of the stock have failed to provide for the debt of the company, and the sale should be entirely void. The official statement of the paulie dent, already printed in these columns, makes the total State indebtedness $15,851,327; it be? ing asserted, however, that $3,773,000 of the bonds of the Ste tc are held in New York as collateral security for loans aggregating less than $1,000,000. Would it not have been cheaper to apply $1,000,000 to the ex? tinction of this debt and the release of the collateral?, than to give $1,800,000 to a swindling Ring in exchange for obligations of very doubtful validity? The accounts of the Financial Agent dis? close nothing more than the fact that dar? ing the year he received *520,700 and ex? pended $571,558, leaving a balance to bis credit of $50,858. This painfully simple account is certified to be correct by Treas? urer Parker. The contingent liabilities of the State, arising from the endorsement of railroad bonds, are set down at $8,787,608. Or this amount the $2,093,312. of South Carolina Railroad bonds have been exchanged for new bonds of the company without the State endorsement, and the $4,000,000 or Bine Ridge Railroad bonds aro expected to be cancelled upon the delivery to the company of $1,800,000 under the Blue Ridge bill. The estimate of supplies for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 1871, amounts lo $1,320,715, including $300,000 for free schools and $718,715 for interest on the debt It seems that the Legislature is in? clined to absorb for itB own purposes all the money that can 'ie raised, and allow the public creditor to shift for himself. This is Radical integrity and good faith. The accounts of the Financial Agency, in connection with the Land Scrip and the Arms business, will be considered upon another occasion. What Augusta Thinks of Air. WarUey's Card. [From the Augusta Chronicle.] Ia the letter of Mr. Wad ley there Is a care? ful avoidance of any allusion to the efforts of Moses Taylor and W. B. Johnston, both large shareholders and, we believe, Directors of the Central Boad, to buy up large quantities of the stock ot the South Carolina Bailroad. So far aa we have seen, the charge has been, not that the Central Boad in its corporate capacity was buying up the South Carolina Etock, but that two of Us leading and influential corporators was engaged in this project. The denial ot Mr. Wadley, therefore, amounts to nothing at all, BO far as the real facts about the matter are concerned. fiostetter's Bitters. pa- PERIODIC DISORDERS.-THE paroxysmal ma'adles which are characterized by heat and cold, prevail extensively at this season; and lt Is a curious fact that in many parts of the country where they are prevalent, other diseases, that bear no general resemblance to fever and ague, or remittent fever, a- sume a periodic type. Tims, In many sections Infested with chills and fever, rheumatism, neuralgia, hysteria, diarrhoea, Ac, sometimes become intermittent, thereby in? dicating that they have been engenden d by tbe same poisonous exhalations which produce the first named disease. In all these masked cases of ague-for such they ai e-as well as in the regular lnteimlitents, tte most safe and reliable remedy that can be ad? ministered U DOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Neither quinine nor arsenic are needed. Both are tn the highest degree dangerous, and are sure to leave fad traces of their poisonous action in the system, whether tbey arrest the paroxysms or not. In many instances all the so-called spec; tics of the "regular" materia medica utterly falito "break up" intermittent and remittent disorders. But the great vegetable tonic never falls. The spasms of the minute blood vessels which causes the chill ls the jesuit of nervous weakness, pro? duced by the debilitating operation of au un? wholesome atmosphere, and the tone and vigor given to the nervous sysu m by the Bitters enable lt to tbrow off the disease.
