II. Gi?t, and .will tnke ?n early opportunity of presenting either, in whole or in part, to our rcade\ss' and in tlie meantime, will give a brief synopsis of its leading suggestions. It is a well written State Paper, presenting a clear anJ concise statement of the views of the Executive, upon the various subjects of State and Federal policy, and offering many valuable suggestions. The Governor announces certain cordi'Th] principles, which in his opinion should goverr. the action of the LegisUure, to wit?to collect no mora taxes than are neccssary for tho cconomica\administrfttion of the government, and to prdviue,ias soon as .possible for tho ox I tinguishinent of tho puolio debt so th.it tho ! people may be forced to Icnvo the State, to Avoid the burdens of taxation. Though our taxes are less than iu many of the new State*, :> .1 .11 i ? iv ihuuiu ue rt'ineniuercu. mat ilieir nOility to lnnko better crops enable them to sustain heavier taxation. The Banks are reported to bo in a Bound and healthy condition. As a remedy against the bus. pension of epecio-, payments, the Governor recommends, in that event, thai the best plan would be, to put tliein immediately into liquidation, and compel them to close business until new charters are obtained, open to nil who may -! - ? - * cnousc 10 Buuscriue, as when the Banks were first chartered. The work on the new State House is^rcprcsentcd, ns progressing with as much rapidity as practicable, and the beauty, elegance and durability of (he structure is commended. The disbursements of tho past year amount to $348,044.27 and an nppropriatiou of $100,000 is re" commcndcr for the present year. Iu reviewing the militia during the past summer the Governor found a great disinclination to"peiform militia duty,?so much so in some places that it was difficult to organize a Court Martial to try defaulters. As the whole eiih ject lias received the exam in at ion of a military Coinmission, 'who will report to the present ecKsion of the Legislature, the Gov ernor makes no recommendation ou.the subject. The Governorthinkslhat the existing laws of the State, are generally wise and salutiry and require fewalterations or amendments. lie suggests however that a breach of trust, should receive a heavy punishment?as great if not greater than larceny. The substitution of a small tax in the place of day's work on the road is recommended na a means of keeping the roads in better order* and as in all respects preferable to the present cystem. Some uniform rule for the treatment and management of prisoners is suggested. There should be a distinction made between imprisonment for crime and imprisonment for safe keeping. An alteration in the la\? is recommended, so fifk to require every one whoowus n farm, with any number of negroes, to reside thereon, the the whole yeor round, or to. keep some white person constantly on the place. The Gov$|*hor recotnracnds, some modification of the law in relation to the Normal School for the instruction of female teacliera He suggests that provision be made for the payment in twlinlo *>* 41- - 1 1 * ? w. .u |?itui me uuaru 01 a email number of girls from each District, to be selected bv the delegation or in some other satisfactory way.

On his recent visit to Harper's W '? ' ** * ret ry, it is said that Governor Wise gave the prisoners distinctly to understand that they need entertain no fallacious hopes of a respite, pardon, or cothmutation of punishment, for that the sentence of the Court, on the day appointed, would be executed according to th* O "" """ terms of it. 4 I ?

TAX COLLECTORS AND TREASURERS Of THE BOARDS OF COMMIB8IONER8, AND .THEIR COMMISSIONS (I'UBUHIIKU By HKQt'KST ) Jtr. Editor?9m : I discover la tlie laftt //anuer, the article* from Tax l'nyer, which appeared ia your paper tho Hit February Juki. I auppoie yon have ro>publi?lie<l it by r*qu??l. A? the author of tluit articlo, 1 hope you will permit jne to miiko tome explanation* ultif* further any^m lions, through the columns of tho Jiannrr. In that at tide I assumed the position that (or tin* last five year* it had coat ?t>ven per oriit. to receive and disburse tho Hriil^o Taim ill Abbeville District, ami five per cent. of tliut miiii \vu* jmui iu Uio Treasurer* of tho Caotiorul Hoard. This I regarded us veiy i xtruvagaut, aud thought the law which authorized it should ho amended. I have ascertained, since tluil was written, I horn is no such law which requires tho payment of five per cent, either to thoCenerul or Sub-Treastirera. But say some of your readers, why did not tho Judi;o or Solicitor so e.vphiiu tho law at our last Court, when the subject was no fairly presented in tho Report of tho Chairman of tho Central Board 1 Am to that, 1 am unublo to sny, but from tho authority of u Lawyer, a member of the Legislature, I am authorized to say that no such law exists, and that this matter of compensation is left to tho Bonn! of Commissioners. Tho law providcs.that the Committiotiers may allow their 'J'reaturera a reasonable compcnta non j asm us lo ttie compensation now allowed the Treasurers of tlie^fiJub-Boards, " $20 each umiuully, an average of perhaps 2 per ccnt." no one, I think, will complain. But when the Puhlio examines tho Reports of the Treasurers of the General Board for the last six years, they do and of right ought to complain. But some persons say it is not for the lubor so much as the responsibility of receiving und holding the funds until they havo an opportunity of paying it over to the Treasurertfof the Sub Boards, that they should receive such large compensation.? 'I'lint rflanAne!l.!i:iM ? ~r '* * - uvui-tci , it) ui meir own choice; if they wish to avoid it, they inay do so by drawing orders ou tbdtTax Collector iu favor of tho Sub-Treasurers, for the amount of their reBpcctive claims, leaving in ihe Tux Collector's hands, to druw at settlement, enough to pa} their own Commissions, and pay for publishing the annual ReiiorU of receipts and expenditures. This will, moreover, be mor?convenient for oil concerned, and save them of the great responsibility complained of; for the writer of this article served as a Commissioner of Roads three years, and during that time was the Treasurer of the General Board. From my experience, I consider the duly no more than others of the Treasurers of the Sub-Boards ; consequently tfieir compensation should be no more. Bv the fiva nor oont 1 ** ,? .wau ojoiciii, nowever, ine Treasurers of ihe General Boaid have received, in Ihe last six years, the sum of Twelve Hundred and Thirty-three Dollars as commissions.? The six yearp immediately preceding, the same office was filled, and the duties discharged, for the sum of sixty dollars, ?10 per annum. It is very natural for the question to arise?why has the Commissioners permitted such extravagant expenditure of the public funds, when the law A:A ~-i. ? ' ? uiu iiui> uuinoriae il l In just-.ce to tho Commissioners of Roads, it ia proper lor me (o state what some of them have recently informed me. They were misled as to what the law was. If I am correctly iuformed, the facts of the case are about this: Six yean ago tha Treasurer of tho General Board claimed that he was by law ejjjitlel to five per centCommissions ou the total amount of Bridge Tax .annaally ; some of the members of the Joard were of contrary opinion, and opposed ft?--'The matter was tlipn ?iiSmiM?ii ? ?1 - J iv ??-j uu^c, wuouecided in favor of the opinion entertained by tbe General Treasurer, and of oOurse the Board regarded tbai as the law. I think it time for the Legislature to amend the law in relation to the compensation allowed to the Secretaries and Treasurers of the different Boards of Commissioners iu the State. And I will venture to Bug. gest an amendment; that in future the Commissioners of Roads, Poor, and Public Buildings of the State may allow their Secretaries and Treasurers a compensation for their services, but in no C080 shall that ?nm w ?1 ? '* f] I'ci ccuv? uu me annual expenditures. In regard (o my suggealions in tbe original article on Ibe Commissions allowed Tax Collectors, I have nothing further to say. I liave no doubt that subject will be before the Legislate; I hope the members of the Upper Divieiro of the State will see that in the reduction of the Commissions to tbe Tax Collectors it be equalized. I saw a plan or scheme which was prepared for the last LSfeisla ture. Iu it the Tax Collectors of the Upper Division was more materially affected than the Lower Division. t * uavc uu uuuui, inr. Jtauor, ,hava been informed,) that some of yourfifclers'regard the whole article of Tax Payers as a small affair, a regular ten cent piece. Thereothers' however, who tbiuk the dimes belongiug to the Slate should be taken care of, because tea dimes make a dollar, and it is for the benefit of those I have writtflen. ^TAX PAYER THE MS CUE OF^H'OWir?TfflE BtJTY OF THE HOBTHEBH STATES.
