The Supreme Ooort has long ego decided that she assets of; tha Bank of the State are to be held for the pay? ment of the debts of the bank, and it has furthermore prescribed the mode of payment., It has directed how those assets are to be distributed among the respective creditor, designating tbe order in which the several obligations shall be discharged. The theory of the receiver's functions is, that he is the officer of the oourt appointed to preserve the funds whioh are subject to its. order, and to be paid out by him aooording to its order. What it has been In praotioe is only known in part, and that is bad etonnalv There Lave been, we do not recollect how many, Receivers appointed, and the com mis? sions allowed to them and to the Clerk of the Court amount to $135,790. This process of appointing receivers has "gone oa until a largo part of the fund has thus been oonsnmed, not to mention the imprudent and dis? honest loans which they have au? thorized?loans secured by straw ?collaterals', and beyond reoovory. Now,' 'that' 31 r, XU O. .Poffar, whose slice amounts to $10,355, has been ? transferred from the financial sphere, ' where his suooees.has been bo marked in putting money in .his own pocket, ta^rdfprpmatio station ?brofd, the atopBVfln>ef taken; ber?rtr ?ls depar qaoaiion, equally pertinent, is, whe? ther a new Receiver is to bo appointed, the same latitude and the same hand? some perquisites?- 'Still another ques? tion mav ba pi V4?is jokj mf whether the St make good the debt*-of the bauk, will IpaJopojaod?sae4ke last dollar lequaa 4ere?Sa'd thiui inslWy re present'to -the tax-payers that.the moneys of the bank being gone, and the oreditors not ptg& it wll MMootJkly Uspe^iA to-iahpoael a ftftc ttposTTaeni ta raeire good' the defioit? These are grave matters, the consideration of whioh cannot any lopgefc* ba properly post? poned. There are two' interests to be protected?the one the interests of the ^ta^e,. already seriously., injured; the Otherthe interests ttftuo croJitors, nO* doubt badly, injured, aUaI The duty in the one aase devolves upon the Ad ministratfovi, ta the other npoh Judge Reed, the Judge, pf the circuit, and the solicitors of these parties. JaJ?W|'R^d7jb>8 already bfceu pp .pealed to oy another journal, the, N?ipa and Courier, to sot with boldness In the ease, aud- i'to refuse to*~ullew the ahrnuken assets of the bank to be fur? ther reduced-in amount." The sug? gestion is made to him to order a sale of the assets, and to distribute . tLe proceeds. If -Shis cannot be done, he is asked to see to it that the new Re? ceiver to be appointed shall have "a minimum oooapensation for what work he may actually do." Wo ask farther, why do not lawyers, or somo lawyer representing the oreditors, make a motion bofora tbe ooort, asking it to order the fund to be paid in without raf ther expense and delay? Motives fol protraoting this ease ought never to have existed ou one side, and should nan? be made to oease oo the other, the creditors ahouId demand a settle? ment, and tlie' State oogbt to second anJJMurther that demand. Other wine it wail droue .pn like Jarndyoo. and Jarodyoe, and the time will oome when no man except those who have had t$? pickings, will know what it msaoe.

Tlae^M* of fntitru Gareoge, ^ At tho evening session of the Hon;?? of Representatives, last evening, the obarges against the State Treasurer and his roply to them were disonssed to a late hour. Mr. Bray ton, of the Joint Special Committee, claimed for it that it had made a thorough and complete investigation, and disclaimed for it any intention to impugn the Ettoutivo or embarrass his administra? tion. They were not novioes, they were not packed, they were not moved by malicious motives, as the Treasurer had recklessly said. They had re? ceived scant courtesy from him^Trom the start but they bad acted toward** him, notwithstanding, with indul? gence, favor and impartiality. He then proceeded to discuss und explain the points made in the report, saying, amongst other things, that the Trea? surer had little reason to boast of hav? ing drawn the bill to reduce the vo? lume of the public debt, after baring admitted to fuuding under it bonds and coupons which were not valid claims against the State. Certain of the bonds funded were of those which wert/ involved in the Al?rtop, Bliss A Co. suit, 'in which it baa often been rnraerwd] With . what troth ho would not; undertake to Bay,'that the Trea? surer was himself concerned1. In re? ply to the figures and picas of the Trea? surer as to the interest, oonpons, he quoted from the reports made to the Gorle&I - 'Assembly- tfor ' the years of 1868, 'CO, 70 aud 71, that it was true, as said by Mr. Cardoso, .that ok)' j)noji/y ^[lt/isf\, ttlof e wga outstanding interest olaim9 to the amount of $535,000: Ou the con? trary, the reports show that tbe payment 1of: interest lot Sbreo years amounted to '3300,408?baing p. diffcr enoo of $47,023 2p betweou actual pay? ment* of interns* and the Treasurer's atiiteare'ots. Thfe Was either a wilfully false or grossly itnoourate ?statement. The reports show that .the' interest of those years bad all beau paid, and tho coupons could not he a valid claim. And yet, during this period, $420,000 of.such coupons had been funded,.and most be considered fraudulent. In conolosiou, the member for Aiken dwelt upon the foot that one man, and a Senator, had funded as much oa $266,000 of these coupons, was enough to raise suspicion. These J 'c?dpons must,-' in some way, have been ab? stracted from tho' treasury?ho w or by whom, it was not for him to say. He also treated the admissions of tho Treasurer as to the diversion of funds and .the tatter of Major, ilulton. urf a re Cognition by them both that the law hadt beeu violated, and that it v.na done at the ns?k aud upou the responsibility of the Treasurer. j, A motion of Hamilton, of Beaufort, that tbe report bo received aa informa? tion aud the committee be discharged, was indefinitely postponed. Greon, of Beaufort, sustained the report, skirmishing rather, and not touching, as ho said, "tho magnitude of the subject." He was for patting the Treasurer on trial. So was Keith, of Darlington. A member from Oruogeborg, and Bostun, of New berry, were understood to side with the Treasurer. Tbe House adjourned at 10.80. John T. Sloan, Jr., presided and kept the House ia good order. To day, a resolution, as we are in? formed, will be offered, to appoint a committee to frame an address to. the Governor, abking the removal of the Treasurer, according to Artiole 7, Sec? tion 4, of the Constitution of the State, This will require a vote of two thirds of eaoh house of the General Assembly. The cause for suoh rffmovul must bo stated at length in the address, und the officer intended to bo removed shall be duly notified and admitted to a hearing in his own defence, bofore the vote for suoh address is taken, and the vote mnst be taken by yeas and nays, and be entered on tho journuls. The Treniurtr'i Reply. The reply of Treasurer Cardozo is not to tbe allegations in tho report of i the Special Joint Committee, except in p.'irt, bat to its conclusions. It is a spirited paper, bat diffuse to a fault, ' and containing some matters personal to the author, bat of -little interest to i the public. We1 shall listen with inte? rest to the discassion which it will to? day give rise to in the Houee, bot do not osre to say more of it until the ieaues of not have boon settled. -?-?????_-. Loren to Thomss, who ess for a long time Adjuieui'Generai of tbe United States army, died at Washington, yes i terday. Th? BorTd Haaln.M. A hue and ory has been attempted against tbe investigation into tbe ope? rations of t?e fending bill, on the pre teUdecf soars that any ?oob |oweaUga tion will tend id disturb the settlement oiitha pnblio debt, aud will deter tbe holders of tho valid obligations of the State from aooeptiog the. proposed compromise. To any fair-thinking and unbiaaed niiud, the absurdity of Ibi.s is at oaoe, apparent. .It is some? what difficult to imagine how o careful and watobfu) scrutiny of tho opera tions of the funding bosiueea can work detriment to thoBe who propose to take advautage of the Act, and it m.-..-t be at once apparent that auy action of the Generul Assembly, which will give a strict ouiis'raotioa to the Act requiring the interest fund to be kopt separate ood apart, and whiob will prevuut the State Treasurer from again borrowing from it, is mani? festly a safe-guard to the bond-hold? ers. A strict and literal interpreta? tion of that portion of the Aut whioh provides that the interest money shall be kept separate and apart from all the other funds of the State, ia the only safe guard whioh the bond-holder has ander the fuuding j Act, and (hp inxiyjtigatujg committee of the General-ASeemblv have done well to bring' this matter Jo light. Mr. Cardozo's plBuoi-coiifee*>i>tt aud avoid? ance is a fine' piece^r^sftecial plead? ing, but it is absolutely Worth nothing iu law. His plain duty under the ape cial tax levy, ia to keep, the. epeotiie funds separate uud ayura. Dye* he mean ''to say that if ?Rich'siri' Roe be ? trustee for,A; apd ho $thi deposit the trust funds'belongiug to A. and F>. In one common fund, aud draw on that fund indibcrimiuatel.t? The propor? tion' is absurd. The plain doty of the trustee under sooh oiroumetancee u to keep hi8 trust funds depurate, apart and distinct, aod. Mr. Curdozj beiug nothing bat a trustee for tbe croditoia of tho State, under tho several appro? priation Aqts, iuoqld bo made to un? derstand his duty in the premises. And the quicker this is done, the bit? ter it will be for all parties oouoerned. Mr. Chadband. Tbe State Treasurer's reply reminds us forcibly of Mr. Chadband'a lecture to Joe. "No, my young friend: I will not let you alone. Aud why? Because I am a harvest laborer; because I am a toiler aud a moiler; because you are delivered over untoe me, aud are become as a precious instrument iu my hands. My j frieudH,,mt*yi I sov employ this instru? ment aa to use it toe your^adVaiitago, tue yoos pr^flt^tae yon strain. Aue your welfare, toa-yonr'euriebmwns." ' ? Like CUadbaiid,y.*ecture, tliis-is hue rhetoric; but 'not to pat. too fine a point oil it, it is mot to lue point at all Where are' the dteelosuree'that were promised? What about L. P. Obristo pher, J. B. Foreman ahd those other mythical: relatives of the 'mytbioal Mooney, Leggctt ?fc- Go.? It may be very interesting for the "large yellow man with a fat smile" to know that sis landing bill has been pronoauoed to be the perfection of legal lore; but we humbly submit, that it would interest the tax-payers of the State a good deul more to know what disposition has been made of the moneys wrung from them. We pause for a reply. Tun Last Dais op Congress.? The New York Ihrald, of the lat, says: "It is probable that Congress will adjourn, leaving a number of important ques Hons undecided. Among those whicb, aocording to our Washington corres? pondent, it is impossible for the Se? nate to dispose of in the short time remaining, is the Foroe Bill, over whioh no tears need be shed. The tax bill, it is thought, will also bo de? feated iu the 8unate. Arkansas and Louisiana are likely to receive little at? tention, aod Mr. Pioohbaek will not be admitted. No news in most of these cases may bo considered good news, and we hope both houses will oonteut themselves with absolutely ne? cessary logialation. It is rather late iu the session to attempt anything more." United States District Coobt?
