COUNTY & CITY ————— SUNDAY, JAN. 6, 1867. -— “THe State Dest.—According to a Statement made by the aber nee pm ae which bonds to, the sum of $377 74000. awe ' issued for the civil debt of the State, and $1,548,000 for the relief of and bounty to soldiers during. the rebellion. All these bonds bear 7 percent: ‘interest, and. the total annual interest on them i is $372,540.— The State has besides promised to pay} $105,000 annually on the bonds of the a Dake tral Pacific Railroad-Compary, until 1885; . so that the total yearly burden for interest jAs_$447,540, or nearly . . alive womanin Nuuanu Valley, lately ‘. arrived from’ Kona, says the Honolula Gaigite, who was born without hands or at the elbows and her léwer limbs at_the knees. She can thread aneedlé and sew garments, and make native matting with surprising skill. She finds no_diffic alty in‘feeding herself with poi and fish, using neither knife; fork or spoon, but it is all . . done with the elbows. She is rather shy of performing before strangers, but. is easily. persuaded . when offered ~meoney. Sheis about forty-five years old, and the ‘mother of five children, all diving. Two, with her husband, are there with her. STATE PopULaATion.—The California Teacher for January gives the number of thildren-in-the State, undér fifteen years of age, at 136,908, These figures are obtelnet ees the: census of the School Marhalf a mittion dollars. To pay this inter= of the bonds, says the Alta, the State lev: 4és a tax of 56} cents on each hundred dollars of taxable property, and the property i that pays taxds is about $180,000,000. The Controller's table gays the total valuation is-$200,000,000, but from this about $20,000,000 must be deducted for exemptions, double valuations, mortgages, and so forth, on_which no tax is paid. The yield of 563. cents on $180,000,000. is about $1,000,000, the remainder for redemption. At that rate ———the debt ought to be-paid offin-ten years. The debt decreases half-million and the taxable property increases ten millions an nually,so the prospect: before us is a_good one. The total State tax on the $100 of taxable property is $1.13, of which 56} cents are for the funded debt, 30% for general expenses, 10 for the capitol,-8 for schools, 5 for military purposes, and 3 for the Insafie Asylum.
