To appreciate this rein it kable error a few facts must be remembered On May 6. lMiil, the Legislature appropriate! one huudied thousand dollars for the (iovernor's Contingent Fund; on Mir 11 one million dollars a ia ted for military purposes, and an Auditing Committee appointed to examine and audit ail , '.m- against the Military Fund, and the payment of any claim ia expressly prohibited until it has been approved by the Auditing Committee The Governor, on June 1 . lr-bT , had drawn fr mi the tre,-ur over $1.TJ,IMM) He supposed it had leen paid from the nt'nent Fund, for that was the only Fund he could draw upon at p!eiure. and he very naturally concluded il was exhausted.

A flood of light is let in upon -the transaction by the fact that the State officers refused to pet mit the Auditing Committee to perform its duties, shut the doOfl f their offices in their faces, and only yielded lo the peremptory mandate of the CottTta, All this may be honest, but to plain people it has not an lione-1, straigbtfoi w ard look.

The -t itemeiit made by the New York Kxpress to the effect thit (ien.

of the Dapartaaaatl ol Ibe Rwat, instituted so

state of affairs, and cases come to us well authenticated where the Central Railroad had raited the freights after the stock was registered in the office of said Company as ready for ti anstiortation. Our people had no remedy in reach no choice hut to endure, except b the friendly . operation of the State from wdiich the companies derive ! heir ( barters

We therefore pray your honor tide body that! such legislation unv be had as will restrict the j railroads pesetas through the State to as low a ; rate of freight aa will be remunerative to them

we are not aware that there has been My mere i-c off tolls within the last two years, but we know : that, owing to the unusual amount of freight

oobred in the autamn of ltibl-s, that the cost of ti loapjaeeatioo was in -ome instances move than doubled This, of coarse, was lost to the pro ducer, or merchant who forwarded it, for the obvious reason that such advance- could cau.-e no corresponding change in the market of the world, which we are struggling lo reach. We therefore think that, lor the j re-ei:t at least, some restriction might be placed upon boats and transportation companies as to the amount ihey .-hould be allowed to teceive, so that

our ajsercbaaai and traders can tlx upon nine amount as approximating to the c sl nt getting their goods or piodmeto market; and it, upon an ! examination of the premises, you find that a re durtioti of tolls will not reduce ihe revenue; below an ano tut tobe expected even in tho most pros e on- times, and ou should make SOch reduction, tt a ffj certainly ever be remembeiel with ur titude by ihe people ol our State.

Mr Wolfe: Tint the Judiciary Committee be requested to report a bill abolishing the ofleco of Common Pleas Prosecuting Attorney, and tak ing from the Court crimin d jurid:clion. Mr. Wolle introduced the i es-du tion tu the im perative b-rm to get aa ex i l' the views of Senators. There was a MopQiiiliuii awffbrethe Judiciary Committee to idcdish the Court en tirely. He did iiot think a bill to thai effect could pass the Sena tax The objections to the Court were mainly on account of the fact of two officer-, one in the Common Pic is undone in the Circuit Court, whose duties were similar. Take Irom the Common Picas criminal jurisdiction and give it all to dm Circuit Cour', and all the fees going to one person would secuta belter talent by making the office lemuncrative He nrgued at length on the proposition, contending that relieving the Common Pleas Court of it mo-t objectionable feature would work well tor our .lud ri uy st stem. Mr Melfett wa- opposed to tibo'ishing the office off District Prosecutor. He did not know how ihe gentleman ai rived at his conclusion that the Common Plana could not be abolished He did not think sn. The renaoti, and the only one he knew why it could not he abolished, was the opposition of the Judges of that court. It had been shown that the abolition of the court would effect a rciorm be a gteat saving of expense and a great convenience to the people, and these arguments had n t been met. He w i- opposed to the ay St a at giving two courts concurrent jurisdicii n He n anted the question mc fa foil and -quarely. Let the Senate meet it If the reasons for its abolition are good, abolish it; iff they are not. letaiii it, but do n it waste lime hi tin keiing it up bv reli t ins . hfr. Browne, ol Randolph, was in favor of abolishing the office uf District Pr. -o utor for tl e reason that the emolument would not ami could mo secure any bat the most inferior talent. Lie w ent on to illustrate While the system was con tinned, this would always be the case. There weir grave objections lo this concurrent jurisdic ti in itijc ioilnal business. The Prosecuter cioovted hiinseil into .1 Oraad Jury and ioffioted an told wrongs upon the community. It w is an intol arable naisance, and it cried out for reform. He vvouid vole to abolish the C ninn-m Pleas Court all the time, but if that could not be obtained, abolish the office off Prosecotor it would be ttiat much gain. Mr. Wolfe moved to amend by adding the fol lowing addition il rawadnthm that it is inexpedient to abolisll the Common Pleas Court. Mr. Mellen added iu tiie proner nlace. "and

Mr. Kay contended that il was "o argument in favor of the present syntem that a better one w as not presented. The gentleman from Harrison. Mr. Wolfe, J an able and ingenious lawyer, as he is, could devise one. Give the probate bsine.-s to the Clerk, or giv e il to a local Surrogate. He opposed a circuit, a travelling Surrogate.
