A rustic citizen beins: asked his opinion of a dctor of diTinity, an eminently successful preacher, replied that he was a rifht smart man, but it was a pity he didn't have more edu cation, The preacher was flattered. A busines man and a baaker being asked what he thought of the message of Gov. Jarvis, replied that any schoolboy1 migkt hart written it, but that ' the newspapers would praise it all the same. Should the Governor feel himself flat tered? There will be a yariety ef opin ions on the subject ef the message, ac cording t the different standpoints from, which it is yiewed. If one should read as he doubtless will in the news papersthat it is "an admirable State paper," and expect on this account to discover fine-spun theories of govern ment, or an elaborate essay on its func tions, he will be disappointed. It is a a plain plaia even to prolixstate ment of public occurrences, a descrip tion ef the condition of public affairs in the State, with suggestions as to the policy to be pursued in legislation. There is an evident air of candor and a desire for the peace and prosperity ef the State whieh must commend it in spite of the cautious manner with which-Some of the more important mat ters are touched. It is net the prorince of the Governor te instruct a Legisla ture, bat he should not hesitate to avow what he believes to be to the best in terests of the State, especially on the more important matters where the ne cessity for a fixed and settled policy is urgent This much of the message as a whole : The administration of Gov. Jarvis, like that of his predecessor, has been marked by a disposition to bring about order in the State and harmony be tween the races. The surest, and, in deed the only way to do this effectually, was to give them equal educational and other advantages. The showing which he is able to make must be gratifying equally to the people of the State generally, and to himself, and no one will deny the statement that the col- ed people are already becoming more industrious, more thrifty and self-reli ant In the whole ceurse of the message there is no truer or more important saying than this : "Instead of degrading this very important office Superinten dent of Public Instruction into a meer clerkship, as has been the case, it should be dignified and elevated to a rank so high, that it will command at all times the best talent of the State.' He might have gone even runner: up on the efficiency and unrestrained ac tivity of this office depends in large measure the usefulness and success ef the public school system. The narrow policy by which the pay of this officer was cut down to a pittance, and not. a cent allowed to defray his expenses ' from one point to another, is one of the worst results of the demagogical cry of "Retrenchment" which blinded and deafened every impulse of common sense and sought only to degrade or level. There is no officer whose capa bilities of usefulness are so great; there is none which can be so utterly useless. So long as the State degrades it, it will continue to be the subject ef ridicule at home and abroad. If it can not command the best talent of the State, it were infinitely better that it be abolished, and the whole matter of edu cation be left to county boards. But, as the Governor maintains, the great lack of our present system of education is money oil with which to grease the machine, which, being clum sy, does not readily run without aid. And the means by which Ibis must be supplied is unquestionably taxation. The present Legislature will be called upon to take the matter in charge and do something. Many promises were - made during the recent campaign ; they must be fulfilled. There is a prospect of help in some shape eventually from the general government but this at best is uncertain, and can only be re lied upon to fill up the gaps ; the State must do it herself. The present Legis lature cannot say that it was not re minded of its duty in this respect, for on scarcely any point is Gov. Jarvis more emphatic: "Money is and must be the heart and life of every system. While I hope to see you make the sys tem as perfect as possible, I beg that you will not forget to provide the mon ey" It is very well to maintain the Uni versity by State aid, if necessary ; gen eral education, and, therefore, indirect ly the success of our public school sys tem is dependent in a measure upon it. But there is nothing to justify the ex tension of its charitable features. Al ready the rules allow one student from each county to be exempt from the tui tion. It is shown that 85 have taken advantage of the privilege, and yet the Governor would have the number in creased to double this. It may be a popular move, but it is not a wise one.' Let the money used for that purpose be turned towards the public schools, er towards enlarging the facilities of the University. " The appropriation recommended for the completion of the Western Insane Asylum at Morgan ton is a necessity. The penitentiary can be longer neg lected; other institutions can be re stricted more or less, but the cry for mercy which comes from the insane in almost every county jail in the State is one which must be heeded. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Legislature ; will not hesitate to grant the appro priation asked. In its present state the t property Is useless. It must pe com pleted, and at once. The department -of agriculture is eommeoded bj the Governor. It be longs to mac ciass oi omces. wmcu way t j or may not be of great benefit to the State, and demands the constant scru tiny of the Legislature. There can be no doubt of the correct ness ef the Governor's position with reference to the inbilityof the Su preme and Superior Courts to dispose of the business now brought before them. Nothing can excuse the tardy justice which is now meetedout to the people of the State. The results of the abolition of the attorney's fee in the Supreme Court have been made mani fest ; the court is overworked, and the remedy suggested will no doubt meet with approval. A system of criminal court circuits would perhaps meet the demands in this branch of the depart ment of justice, and the plan of the Governor will in all probability meet with the approval of all members of the Legislature who are sufficiently im pressed with the importance of reliev ing in some way the Superior Courts. The importance to the State of her railroads, and the widespread interest in their management demanded a more explicit statement of the policy of the Governor than he has furnished us. We are told what has been done in the past things with which the people of the State have been made generally familiar thro ugh the public press but this is all. No knottier question will be presented to the Legislature, and yet they are left to the uncertain guide of- hear say information. It can hardly be possible. that Gov. Jarvis does not know many things of importance to the people of the State, and especially to the law makers, which he has not seen fit to communicate. There are other matters which de serve attention ; they will be discussed from time to time as they come up. The present Legislature has an oppor tunity of distinguishing itself. The harmony which has appeared thus far is altogether favorable to successful work and to the co-operation with the Governor which, in the close of his message, he earnestly asks. The business of the State Legislature has commenced in dead earnest. Mr. Clarke, of Craven county, has introduc ed a bill "entitled an act to protect the diamond-back terrapin." Now if Mr. Clarke will get somebody to introduce a bill to "protect" him from Eugene Grissom's clutches, the country will be moderately safe, REGULATING RAILROADS. Public Right and Railroad Charge A Natioual Commltsion and the Rev gan Bill Rwommenitd Rf the New York Chamber ef Commerce. New York, Jan. 6. At a meeting of the Chamber of Cemmerce to-day the special committee en railroad transpor tation submitted a lonr report on the railroad problem, which was adopted. it sets fortn the importance of proper legislation" to regulate railroad charges : discusses the two railroad bills now be fore Congress, known as the' Reagan bill and the Henderson bill, and urges the necessity of encouraging competition and preventing the organization of pools and combinations. Itshows that an advance in freight ratespf live cents per hundred pounds upen the grain crop of the West is equivalent to an ex port tax of seventy-five million dollars. which comes out of the pockets of pro ducers, in conclusion, tne committee submit the following resolution : Resolved, That the public welfare ur gently demands that the commerce by railroads should be -controlled andrtz- ulated ; that Such regulation should take the 'form of: first, posi tive laws, denning public rights; ana, second a supervision by an executive power, to see tbat these laws are carried into effect; that with inter State commerce these laws and railroad provided by Con gress, and , for those railroads exclusively within the jurisdiction of a state, similar action should be taken by the legislature of that State. "Resolved, That if the measures now pending in Congress for the regulation of inter-State Commerce, the bill known as the Reagan bill, in the opinion of this Chamber, is the one best calculated to protect public interest, and that it shoud become a law without unnecessary de- Be it further resolved. That an addi tional and separate bill, not inconsistent with the Keagan bill, should be passed previdinz a National Board of Railroad Commissioners, to se that all laws of the United States relating to are rail- roaa auiyexecuted, ana generally to supervise the operation of inter-State railroads. A. WOHLa.IT HANGED With Her Criminal Paramour frem the Mam Gallows. Newark. N. J.. January 6. Mrs. Meierhoffer, convicted with Frank .Lammens. her paramour, of the" mur der of her husband, John Meierhoffer at West Orange, October 18, 1879, was hanged at the county court house at 10.30 o clock this morning. She was very pale and deeply affected, but walked to the gallows without assist ance, and met her fate without con fessing or uttering a word. She died in about 9 minutes, her neck being ap parently unbroken. About thirty per sons were present including the of ficers and jury selected by the court under a recent law, and all spectators were excluded. Lammens was hung from tne same gallows immediately at' ter wards, but made no confession. A Fatal Quarrel. Louisviixe, Jan. 8. A special to the Courier-Journal from Henderson, Ky., says: "A murder occurred in the ice fleet in the mouth of Green river early this morning. Among the fishing boats lying in there were two moored together. One wa3 occupied by John Davis alias Wright, a married man aged 35, the other by H. L. Palmer, an old man 60 years of age, a fisherman. The two had been coming down the river together in partnership, but had a quarrel last night about their board bill. Palmer Btates this morning that he was on Davis's boat,and Davis, dur ing the quarrel, seized a stick of wood and advanced on Palmer, who retreat ed to bis boat, and taking down his rifle, after warning Payis shot him through the right side. His wife who was the only other witness says Palmer assassinated him as he was sawing wood. Stock Market. New York, Jan. 8.

A Lengtbr Debate on the Funding: Bill 3 Per Cent. va.-3 12. . Washington, January 8, House. Briggs, of New Hampshire, presented the credentials of Ossiaa Ray, as mem- ' ber-elect from the third congressional district of New Hampshire, and that gentleman having appeared at the bar of the House, took the oath of office. The Speaker proceeded in the regular order to call the. committees for reportF. Money, of Mississippi, the chairman of the committee. on postoffices and post roads, reported back a bill regula ting the rates of postage on second class mail matter. Placed on the cal endar. Poehler, of Minnesota, from the com mittee on Indian- affairs, reported back a bill authorizing the secretary of the interior to fulfill certain treaties and stipulations with the Chippewa Indians of Lake Superior and Mississippi. The can oi tne committees havin? been concluded, on motion of F. Wood, of New York, who appeared in his seat this morning, the Souse, at 12:30, went into committee or the wnole, Oovert, of New York, in the chair, on the funding bill. . The formal reading of the bill having been dispensed with, it was read by sec tions for amendments. F. Wood offered, under the instruc tion of the committee on ways and means, an amendment fixing the rate of interest on bonds and notes, authorized to be issued by this act, at 3 per cent., it being 3 per cent, in the printed bill. Buckner, of Missouri, inquired if it was in order, at this time, to test the sense of the House as to whether the bonds should be long bonds or short bonds. The chair replied it was not. Claflin, of Massachusetts, opposed the amendment. He was opposed to fixing the interest at 3 per cent. Tucker, of Virginia: "Does the gen tleman want a larger rate."- Claflin: "I propose that the rate in the bill shall stand there." In opposing the amendment Claflin had read an amendment which ho proposed to offer, leaving the interest at 3 per cent., and providing that the bonds shall be re deemable after five years and payable in twenty years. No business man, he thought, believed it possible to float a bond at 3 per cent. It was the unani mous opinion of financiers that a Z per cent, bond might be floated, but that it would be dangerous to put a 3 per cent, bond on the market. The committee on appropriations adopted the report of the sub-committee this morning upon the Indian affairs bill, and instructed Representative Wells to report it to the House te-day. The bill appropriates $4,526,866.80. Among the principal items are $1,897, 300 f er several Sioux tribes, $922;000 for the removal, settlement and subsistence of Indians, $250,000 for the transporta tion of Indian supplies. The navy appropriation bill will be reported from the sub-committee to the full committee on Tuesday next. Mr. Kelley commented on the fact that in the purchase of over $108,000,000 bonds in the year ending October last, the secretary of the treasury had to pay over $112,000,000, or about 3 per cent, premium. Warner suggested that the rate of interest should be fixed at 2 ner ceDt. It was impossible to sever the rate of interest from the time. If this bill were to pass he should be in favor of the amendment of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Wood,) though he would oppose the bill. Wood suggested that for the sake of convenience, his amendment coming from the committee on ways and means, should be by unanimous con sent considered as agreed to. If it was seriously intended to act on this bill the House should not be wasting time in fruitless and unnecessary discussion. Claflin objected. Frye thought that the question might well te met now as between a 3 and 34 per cent. bond. A 3 per cent, bond must necessarily run lor twenty or thirty years. Voting for a 3 per cent, would be voting for a long bond. Mr. F. Wood thought that the gentle man was in error in that assumption. .He wished to tall the gentleman's at tention to the report of the secretary of the treasury in which he said that he believed that short time certificates, having less than ten years to ran, could be negotiated at 3 per cnt. He (Wood) thought chat a short-time 3 per cent, bond could be negotiated, particularly if accompanied by some attributes which would make it . acceptable and desirable. He heped that the gentle man from Maine (1 rye) would not fail to have the House to commit itself to a position which was untenable. Frye said he had voted in favor of a 3 per cent, bond before recess. During recess he had seen a large number of business men iii New York, Boston and New England, and he had come to the deliberate conclusion that it would be utterly impossible to float a 8 per cent, bond running less than thirty years. He believed it and he believed th?t the attempt to float a 3 per cent, bond would be a disaster. The government liad never sold 3 per cotit. bonds. No coun try on earth had ever placed a 3 per cent, bond on the market at par, and he was fully convinced that a 3 per cent. bond could not be placed, and if Con gress undertook to do it and failed, it would be a disaster. He believed in leaving to the secretary of the treasury the discretion up to per cent. Keif er, of Ohio, offered an amend ment to Wood's amendment, so as to fix the interest at a rate not exceeding 4 per cent. He believed that 4 per cent, was as low a rate of interest as the bonds could be floated at. In the West it would be impossible to sell the bonds at a lower rate and have them main tained at par. A vote was taken on the amendment and it was defeated, 12 to 149. Mills, of Texas, argued that it would be $100,000,000 cheaper to let the debt stand at 5 and 6 per cent, and pay it in five years than let it run for twenty years at 3 per cent. Wood denied the proposition. Felton, ef Georgia, said the bill was illustritive of the benefit of delay and cautious legislation in such matters, be cause, last session, the proposition was to refund the maturing debt in long 4 per cent bonds, while now it is admit ted it would be refunded in short 3 per cents. In this opinion it would be criminal to perpetuate the debt. He wanted to keep it always within the grasp of the government. He paid a high tribute to the financial abilities of Secretary Sherman, which had con tributed so much to the credit of the United States. Blount, of Georgia, argued that the Secretary of the Treasury should be al lowed some discretion, and opposed the rate of interest being arbitrarily fixed at 3 per cent. After further debate the committee arose to purpose, as stated hf Wood, of limiting the debate, but a motien to ad journ was interjected. Wells reported from the committee on Indian affairs, the Indian appropria tion bill. Printed and recommitted, At 4.30 the House adjourned. ' .-! P" CenditloK? of Royal Slatriieny. London, January .8.

The iteamer Gen eral .Lyttle was cut down this morning and sunk in seven feet of water at Cov ington landing, here. She is valued at $25,000, and may prove a total loss. The .Lldorado, at Portsmouth, is damaged to the extent of $30,000. There ia no insurance against such losses. At noon it was known that a large destruction of empty coal barges attended the breaking up of the ice in the Ohio riv er. The number lost is said to be 50. Their value is about $1,000 each, mak ing a total loss of $50,000. The owners of the barges had taken extraordinary care to secure them by cables, and their loss is unexpected. The want of such barges in case of a coal rise in Ohio is more than their worth. Casualties at Sea. Nkw York, Jan. 8. The schooner M. J.
