MISMANAGEMENT OF THE STATE TREASURY. Tan legislative Investigation into the manner in wbich the State Treasury has been man aged promises to be more complete than was at first anticipated. Mr. Mackey, the out going Treasurer, was on the witness stand yesterday, and his answers to various interro gatories were in themselves sufficient to de monstrate the demoralizing and unjust nature of the present systom, and to clearly indicate the necessity of sweeping reforms. One of the first questions asked was in regard to the amount of the present balanco, whioh he stated to be about $1,700,000; and as at least a million dollars of this sain might as well have been appropriated to the reduction of the indebtedness of the State, there is an evident annual loss to the tax payers of $G0,OOO in this one item alone. The subsequent answers prove that while the people lose a large amount of interest, this loss enures to the profit of such banks and bankers as are fortunate enough to win the favor of the Treasurer. The committee dis played no little anxiety to learn whether the selections of that official were influenced by personal peouniary considerations, but on this poiat Mr. Mackey was extremely retioont, as will be seen by the following extracts from the testimony: Q. Wbat was yonr balanco with J. K. Eulgw.iy on the flrst of August last? A. It was nev:r clianged from Mr. KWlgway from what I received It frm my predecessor, namely, one huudrcd thou sand dollars. O. That is since you came Into ofllce? A. Ye, sir. tj. Have you received any consideration for per mitting that money to remain there? a. can wit antnwr that question if I am to be arraigned for ! posed malfeasana in office. Q. I simply waut thu facts? A. If I ain to he ar raigned, I want to be arraigned according to law; I really want to give you the freest and fullest exhibi tion of the Treasury, as fur uh 1 am conoeruod, tint I do not wish to be placed in a faNe position. licmarks by Wallace I hnve no threats to make, sad no promises to make. It would bo absurd for us t make threats, and equally iilxur.l for in to promise there should ho n prostitution. Our duty la well delluod. We simply want to know what u the present and past condition of t:ie Treasury. A. While I am perfectly wiIIIiir to give you the exact position of the Treasury, if It Is to Involve mo in a question of prosecution, Jecliiie ti atmr-r tliie'question. And again: Q. Have you received any Interest or coinpenia tiou, direct or Indirect, at any time, for use of uuy moneys of the Commonwealth ? A. I thought tliu other queHtion covered that. Q. Any interest or compensation, direct or Indi rect, for moneys of tho Commonwealth ? A. Fur the same reason I dentin to aimwer. If I uintibj arraigned, I prefer it to be done in the right way. On the general question of the free use of the publio money for private benefit, Mr. Mackey was more communicative. For in- Htanoe, w'han. aitYced "whether tlio money in Ills bands was ready to be used at any time to meet the domands of the Government," he said; "Yes, sir: every dollar of it, except the, admiw made to members of the Legislature and other otllcers tor which I got no credit." And when Mr. Mackey was pressed more closely in regard to the readiness of the deposi taries to pay his drafts promptly, the following testimony was given: Q. Were these depositaries at all times able t sustain the drafts of your department ? A. I do not know that they were, without giving them 8nie trouble; I do not think that any bank would keep its money idle. Q. lias not the practical working of the system been to permit the banks to use it by lounlog ? A. Certainly. J. Could you not have drawn, for example, n draft upon the First National liuuk at HarrlHburg. of whatever balance was there, and have It honotvd promptly T A. suppoas it might liavt been honored but it might have given thetn a great deal of trouble. When questioned in regard to the uso of money to control eleotions, Mr. Mackey said that he had not used the funds of the Com monwealth for this purpose, but he acknow ledged that he had "spent a little of his own occasionally" for this laudable purpose. Independent of these statements it will be seen by the testimony that the money of the State is scattered over the Commonwealth in a deoidodly loose manner; that two of the depositaries are acknowledged to be insolvent; and that the balances handed over to Mr. Mackey by his predeoessor consisted of a miscellaneous assortment of "moneys in banks, sight checks, and some other things," which the witness was not prepared to de scribe in detail. This statement is by no means gratifying to taxpayers. It plainly proves that the Trea sury is managed in the interest of banks, bankers, and the Treasurer, rather than in the interest of the people; that balances are suffered to accumulate unnecessarily, as if for the express purpose of enriching officials and their favorites; and while some positive losses (exclusive of interest) have already occurred through this loose system, a com mercial revulsion might swell the aggregate of these deficiencies to a large sum. It will be easy for . the legislators, if they are earnestly devoted to reform, to devise a remedy for nearly all these evils, and we trust that the present investigation will result not merely in the exposure of a wrong, but in the prompt application of a remedy. A box has been introduced in the Legisla ture to grant the Thirteenth and Fifteenth Streets ltailway Company permission to lay a single traok on Locust street, so that a con nection can be made on the evenings when the Aoademy of Music and Horticultural Hall are occupied, for the benefit of the audienoes in attendance at those places. The passage of this bill has been requested by a large number of citizens, and the advantages of such a connection will be apparent at the first glanoe to all who have experienced the inconvenience of rush ing through the rain and mud to reach a car en a stormy opera night. 13y means of a track on Loonst street, between Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets, a numbor of oars can be in waiting at the doors of the Aoademy of Musio to reoeive passengors, to the very groat accommodation of the residents in the upper part of the city who visit that establishment. This proposition is entitled to the favorable consideration of the Legislature, and we hope that it will pass without opposition. ALMOST A REALITY. The Legislature of Georgia yesterday gave its assent to the proposed fifteenth amend ment to the Federal Constitution. It is grati fying to read that the majority in eaoh house was so overwhelming that, even if the mem bers recontly unseated had been in their places and voted solidly against the amend ment, it would still have received a large ma jority. ThiB favorable action of Georgia swells the list of States whioh have ratified the amendment to twenty-oight, the full number roquired to make it a part of the fundamental law of the land. But there are a few hitohes to be remedied before it can be proclaimed as such. Kansas, which was the first State to attempt the rati fication, did her work imperfectly, and was obliged to do it over again, after the lapse of nearly a year from the time of her first action. One branch of the Legislature has already remedied the defective ratification and it is possible that the other has done so, although we have not as yet been advised of the fact by telegraph. The action of Iowa is also in complete, each of the two houses having passed a resolution of ratification, and each demanding that the other shall abandon its initiatory action and concur in the resolutions of the other. This looks all very well from the standpoint of dignity, but if Iowa desires to maintain her reputation as one of the most liberal and progressive Commonwealths in the Union, she will patch up this difficulty without further delay, and put the amendment at rest, as far as it lies in her power to do so. Nebraska and Texas are yet to act upon the amendment, and there can be no possible doubt as to the aotion of each of them, tho Legislature of the former being largely Re publican, while that of the latter will unques tionably comply with the conditions of resto ration established by Congress. "When these two States shall have wheeled into line, and Kansas and Iowa shall have perfected their part of the groat work, the complement of twenty-eight States will be full without in cluding in tho list New York, which has attempted to withdraw her assent, or Indiana, which gave an affirmative vote under circum stances (hat have enabled tho Democracy to maintain that it was illegal and void. TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY. A good thing was scarcely looked for ont of Tennessee, but a good thing has come out of Tennessee, for all that. We have reoeived by mail an outline of the speech made by the Hon. A. O. F. Nicholson in the State Consti tutional Convention in favor of securing the elective franchise to the negro race by consti tutional enactment. Mr. Nicholson, at the outbreak of the war, was the colleague of An drew Jobnaon in the Senate, and strove ZOIll- oubly to avert the threatened conflict. His labor was in vain, and, like many another Southern leader from whom a wiser course might have been expected, espoused the cause of secession, when he found himself powerless to contend against it. But, since tho war, he has been an earnest advocate of peace and harmony, and bis address to the Constitutional Convention of Tennessee shows that he thoroughly understands and accepts the situation. He points out to the constitution makers of the State the faot that a great and powerful government has decreed thut tho negro shall possfisa the ballot, and asks them what they propose to do to prevent it. ' This is a sound argument, but it is not tho soundest that Mr. Nicholson brings to bear upon the point at issue. "What great principles," he asks his colleagues, "are at stake in giving to the negro the right to vote ? Have you not acknowledged that he is free in the bill of rights ? Would it bo just to tax the colored people and not allow them the ballot ? Have you not been told time aqd again that taxation without representation is tyranny '(" And these pertinent inquiries he rounds off with the declaration that this is not a white man's government. Mr. Niohol ;;t.n is still a Democrat, but his Democracy is not of the stripe which holds sway over the river in Jersey, and manifests its antediluvian instincts by rejecting the fifteenth amend ment. While such men as the Hon. A. O F. Nicholson are entrusted with the task of amending the State constitution by the De mocracy or the Conservatives, if you please of Tennessee, there is no immediate danger of that State going utterly to the dogs. In New Jorsey the case is vastly different. Innate modesty will crop out. Some men are so largely blessed with it that, although they fain would hide it under a bushel they cannot do otherwise than blazon it to the world. Here's Judge McKenzie, of Canada, for example, who drops down to Washington from his hyperborean haunts to collect a little bill of $40,000 for services rendored the Gov ernment of the United States in defending before the courts of the Dominion sundry Fenian raiders who came to grief. The Judge has succeeded in getting his modest fingers on $5000, and freely expresses the hope that he will be able to get hold of the balance. But to the tax-payer the notion will perhaps occur that $40,000 for defending Fenian raiders is rather steep, especially when the whole of it goes into the pockot of the estimable Judge. This hyperborean advocate had better pay his respects to the several Presidents of the Fenian brotherhood, through whose folly his olients were placed in jeopardy. If the Judge must have full $40,000, and can't possibly get along without it, and will persist forever after in abusing this "blarsted" country, and its "Worst ed" Gov eminent, and all that sort of thing, in case he doesn't get it, the Brotherhood had better make up the difference without noodles) delay. ChkkbfuTi Kw York t The Time of our neighbor city parades b of ore its readers tho murderous catalogue whioh the metropolitan villainy of January has follel up. Thirty deaths from violence are rooordod, and nine suioides by way of varying the monotony. A murder every day in the month savo ono, with the variation of a suicide every fourth day, and one to spare to make up for the day when there was no murder t In view of this cheor ful state of affairs, it is no wonder that the Times exclaims: "What is to be done for the protection of life and property in this city ? It is a farce to speak any longer of our gov ernment or our laws. Both are treated with contempt by the outlaws who live by robbery and violence." But New York should take courage, as becomes a metropolitan city. The Demooracy has possession of evory branch of the State Government, and is just getting ready to upset all the obnoxious com missions which Republican Legislatures have saddled upon the city. When these have gone by the board, and the rough and ready Democracy of New York once more enjoy the unaccustomed luxury of self-government, there may be a change for the better. It is possible, also, that there may be a change for the worse. The Kentucky House of Representatives, faithful to tho doctrines of the sage of Con federate X Roads, yesterday tabled, by a vote of 73 to 13, a resolution providing for the re peal of the statutes against negro testimony. Her people will perhaps disoover, soma time during the next century, that slavery has been abolished, and that all black laws must fall with it, but they are now too thoroughly Democratic to comprehend the spirit or tho necessities of the age. It is announced that Prince Arthur of England is about to pay a visit to King Cameron of Pennsylvania. Nothing would be more appropriate. The royal families should all be courteous to each other, and if the power of the ruler of this State, before whom governors and legislators kneol obse quiously, is not founded on claims as anti quated as those of Queen Victoria, it is at least based on tho most potent of modern divine rights. INCKEMHLK ATROCITY. A niollirr HliotMlih tier llu by at the IJrenxt. Hv a gentleman from up the Soabonrd road, sayu tho Rlcliinoud IHxpatch of Monday, we hnve just heard the details of n most horrible crime coinmittca oy some licna incarnate lu Mecklenburg- county, Va., near Gaston, N. C, on Friday nlj;ht litt. Tho mxpatch. continue: It appears tliat a Iuuy by tliu name ot Mrs. RoIHub, who lives in Unit," neighborhood, was Bitting in her houe with a baby at her breast mirelng, and two or three of ner small children playing round about her in tho room, when tbe murderer approached tho window and discharged a double-barrelled gun, loaded with buckshot and several large ulugs, into her right side, which pasted through her body and came out on her lof c side near the region of her heart, killing her instantly. The infant at her breast was not hurt, nor were any ot the other children. There were no grown persons in the room at the time. Mr. Rollins, tho husband of tho lady, was absent at the time, having been at court that day. Tbe gun was fired botween 8 and 9 o'clock at night, and he and several gentlemen w within hearing dletnnco of Its report. 1 hCY beard it, and one remarked to the other that the report seemed to be in Mr. Rollins' yard, but he thought it was nearer to them than that, and on arriving at homo and going into the house, horrible to relate, there they found the corpse of Mrs. Kollins as she had fallen from her chair, with the baby in her arms, and eying at the Bight of the blood pouring from her wounds.
