deemed by him, since his last settlement
with tins office. - , The amount of interest which will be duo
from t ie State on bonds outstanding, on the
1st fl.iv nf Janiiarv next, is as follows:

for four years, - ,iuuu Total. " $2,227,500 The annual interest on bonds oustanding is as follows : - On $100,000 at six per cent, $3,000 On $33,000 at seven per cent, 2,520 On $10,988,000 at five per cent, 539,300 Total, ' $557,820 To meet this large annual indebtedness, and preserve the plighted faith of the State,
no means can be obtained, except what may arise from a resort to direct taxation. After the domestic debt shall have ceased to embarrass the Treasury, it is supposed that an assessment of fiifty ceuts on polls, and sixty cents on the hundred dollars valuation of property, would be sufficient to insure the
annual payment ot tne interest account, and defray the ordjnary expenses of the government. Whether such a rate could be imposed at present, with any prospect of its being paid by the people, it will devolve upon their representatives to decide. Respectfully submitted, v' HORATIO J.HARRIS, Auditor of State.
