Kennedy, honest gentleman that ha is, might reasonably say, he could not spend money for the good of the Colony, and then show it triumphantly by way of a "surplus." It will be seon, we think, from the figures given below, that Governor Hennessy has kept his pie, and has not eaten it, while he bas been careful not to permit his honorable friend Mr Price to eat it either. He has it still; and a good share of the endeavours to inform the public, at the Council meeting yesterday, was put forth in order to convines the community that he was a successful financier who had thrice shown a "surplus," as againat the "deficit" of his predecessor. Let us see how the "surplus" was achieved for the years 1878 and 1879. The fi- gures are taken (dropping the cents) from the Colonial Treasurer's official returns. In the years 1870 and 1876 we find the following items of expendi
