Surplus Revenue. Tt is estimated, says the Columbia S. C. Times, that under the operations of the existing Tariff, in Juue, 1858, the surplus revenue will be no less than forty-three millions of dollars ! Attorney General. The "Narrcutou News says: W. A.

Delivered in the Senate, January 33, 1857.' Mr. Speaker: I participate fully in all 'the patriotic feel iugs expressed by heretofore levied for the Insane Asy the advocates of this measure. I yield lum. On turnpike tollgates, $15; on to no one in Stato pride, or in any pro- j other gates permitted t j be erected per means to advance the interest of the acro&s roads, 5; on public ferries a tax State. But I fear both are iroptrdifced -equal to seven times the largest toll dc- by the measure they are urging upon us. This bills asks from the State a loan of 5400,000, for the-Atlantic railroatr, with no other security than the doubt ful and precarious revenues of the road, already bouud for the heavy expenses contracted fur this road; and from a crippled and -empty treasury, unable to comply with tho large deraauds upon it. We have not got it to give, and 'tis doubtful if we can boirow it to loan, without making some provision iu the tax bill to sustain it. We havct alrea dy been under the necessity of largely increasing the tax bill to meet the pre sent . and pressing liabilities of the State. And yet in that bill the advo cates and friends of this railroad loan have ui.ide no- provision for this de mand. r If they want money from the Treasury it is not there. If they only ask the credit of the State they mu.t do something to sustain that credit. It is on the tax bill that thc battle of in ternal improvements must be fought. Thtre lies the responsibility, and there ,let4hcw. meet it; and if the friends of this large appropriation have avoided this issue, or failed to make provisions for it, th y cannot complain of opposi tion.wUcn that opposition is niaue to protect the Ktill higher consideration if State credit and State ehiracter. n 13ut independently, of this, objection there is an important defect in this bill, which I propose in part to remedy by an amendment which I have prepared, requiring from the railroad company a mortgage or trust on all its effects be fore the loan is received, I am aware that the State is ainady two-thirds ow- ner of the road and effects; but L would require a inorrgagu uu tuc "" v the road, to secure as far as possible the State's interest. I desire to put the State ahead of all otW creditors and mortgages which inevitably hang over these enterprises. 'lis true, trie security is not ample, but we should have all we can get. . 1 have stiil another objection which this amendment cannot remedy. Tho btato cannot raise the amount required to comply with the loan, and can only do it by transferring her bonds to the compauy, which they m;iy dispose of on such terms as may affect the general credit of the State, and interfere with the'sale at par of tier other bonds, ap propriated to prior and necessary eu gegeuieuts; and the depreciation of State credit must prove a serious inju ry to the necessary man;ement of our Treasury. My State-pride ana regard for State interest forbid mc, under these circumstances, to support this bill, But hoping at least to protect the State in part from harm, I offer the amendment requiring a niortgagebo fore the loan is received. Murder in New York. The inhabitants of this populous city have been greatly excited the past fort night, by the mysterious murder of Dr. Burdcll, an cmiueut dentist, in his office on the 30th ult. There were marks of strangulation about his neck, and fifteen stabs on his person. The Coroner's J u ry continued in session, examining wit nesses, &c,. until the 14th inst., when they returned a verdict, charging Mr. Eckel and Mrs. Cunningham as princi pals, and Mr. Snodgrass as accessary in the murder. Dr. Burdcll was a widower supposed to be worth 80,000. Mrs. Cuuninghamis a widow with tyo grown daughters and two small boys, and oc cupied the upper part of BurdcH's house. Eckel was the particular friend of Mrs. Cunningham, and Snodgrass was the admirer of one of the Misses Cunningham. The Doctor appears to have beeu on very intimate terms with Mrs. Cunuingham, but had determined on making her quit his house. She as serts she was privately married to him in October last, and of course claims his property. It is supposed that Eckel personified the Doctor iu the marriage. The parties resided in Bond street, and were classed among the fashionables iu that commercial, luxurious and vicious emporium. CAPTIONS OF LAWS Fassed by the General Assembly of N.
