The whole debt of the State is reduced to a point admittedly within the power of the State to meet principal and interest at its maturity. During the whole term of forty years, ever which the new bonds run, the debt cannot be increased beyond tbo point to which it has thus been limited. The appalling load of contingent debt, orer $2,100, 000 in amount never actually incurred, but standing on the statute book, a constant source of danger and uncertainty, has be-m buried beyoad resurrection. The interest appropriation in the new debt is made perpetual, and until the extinguishment of the debt itself shall have been accomplished, both principal and interest are guaranteed by the constitution. Tho rate of taxation is limited. The legislature is restricted its expenditures to the revenues which that rate of taxation will yield and the revenues of each year are to be devoted exclusively to the expenses of that year. The Actual amount of the debt of the State will bo hereafter fixed quantity, whieh can at ny mo mentbo authentically stated and prov

In addition to these State reforms the city council of New Orleans have also been prohibited by a constitutional amendment from issuing further bonds any evidence of indebtedness,/except against cash actually in tho Treasury.- The bonded and floating debt of the Stato when he took charge was $2,409,840,729.

The Mosello Explosion. Nsw \obk,

Jan. 3.—Capt. Fi-anche,

of the steamship Solier, which arrived yesterday, was tho bearer of a letter to the German Consul, at New York, and had instructions to permit no one but the proper authorities to board or leave tho vessel until the Consul had road the letter. It was written by tbo Bremen Haven authorities during the intense excitement jtellowing the dynamite explosion, uader the impression that possiblv some traces that would lead to additional acts in regard to tho Gxplosion might be obtained on the Salier, Nothing however had been discovered. One passenger speaking of the explosion says: "I was leaning mastof ^o*«ieoj bn myl^d'jfe^iear thought the boiler of tho Hosel had exploded first, and then I imagined it must certainly bo the boiler of the steam tug alongside. Pieces of wood iron, glass and parts of human bodies were falling around upoh us. The scone was awful.

Charles F. Mueller, of Milwaukee, who was on tbo Hosel at tho time of tbe explosion, says ho was thrown down the stairway of tho cabia.andre covering he went forward and saw the dock eorered £ith dead bodies and

tools of blood. The bodies were moststripped of their clothing. Some wero perfectly baked. I covered up the nakedness of neveral of the dead boys, men and trcmen. I saw a Hebrow cn a trunk stripped of his clothicg, and apparently wounded. His head was falling back, and he appeared to bo suffocating. I teok some bed clothes out of the trunk lurst open by tbe explosion, and made a comfortable seat for him. Five minutes afterward he died. A sailor kindly brought him some water. I tken attended a young lady ecreaming fJr help, denuded of all her tlothing frosa h«r waist 1 covered her over wifi some sheeting. She was wounded in her back.

Guardian's Tendon correspondent write* as follows upon the suoject of Spain, Cuba and the United State*: I have bees furnished with what purports to be the stfWstanco -of America's Cuban hole.' I believe it is correct, though I do not pretend to give the exact language. It recite# that the general interests of humanity and commerce demand the cessation oi the struggle which has been waged in Cuba for s*6ven ycarsl Tho United States are great sufferer#, but they are unwilling to act without tho concurrence of other powers, including Spain. Tho continuation of tha attempt tor govern Cuba from Madrid will bo fatal to the hopes of ros&ration of peace. Nevertheless, Cuba belongs to Spain, and a great share of her population are opposed to a separation Under these circumstances a solution of tho subject might be found in establishing a confederation in tho West Indies resembling tho CanadaD. Cuba and Porto Itico might be constiluted a confederation with local right and a governor general, to bo appointed by Spain. The powers tire asked to join tho United States in proposing such a confederation and in helping Cuba to establish it, Tho abolition of slaverjr would, however, bo a necessary condition, and such pressure must bo brought as would mako tho insurgents cease their warfare* This would bo difficult, but it could bo accomplished. Secretary

Fish is emphatic in denying that tho United States desiro the acquisition of Cuba. They only wish peace restored, slavery abolished and commerce allowed to resume its courso. Tho powers are asked to express their opinion upon tho proposed means of accomplishing these ends.

Peas are considerably below tho average, haying suffered greatly in sizo antl quantity. Tho wheat crop has suftered most, only one-eighth reaching the average, while fivo-sixth* fink below it Whatever dullness sow prevails, and may for a period continue, our large deficiency will become more evident as the season advances.
