WHIG HONESTY

The following paragraph we clip from
the Albany Evening Journal:
1--WE did not go 10 Washington for any
such purpose as the Argus charges. Nor
when there did we urge or ask the Pres.
ident to sign the Fiscal Corporation
We were openly opposed to tho extra Hes-
sion Of Congress, and as openly opposed
to the movement in favor Of a Bank
The whig party has struggled for more
than ten years with = bank mill stone to
its neck. We have labored hard 10 cut
loose but it has stuck to lis like poison
ed shirt. For one we are resolved to
carry this load no farther. Those who
have Stomachs for fight, may 60 houn-
dering on till the sky tails, if they choose,
but "thiI ldIk is not to be caught again in
bank trap"
Friend Weed is evidently becoming IT,
red of the fight. "This lark is not to be
caught again in bank trap" Well,
what trap will you be caught under?
What cheat will be played of upon the
people to obtain power2 Why urge
this eternal bank question, after so sxpli.
cit an acknowledgement that the people
will never consent to its establishment! I!
You denied, during tho late Presidential
election, that bank was tho question
at all but after obtaining power under
these false pretences, the very first thing
that was done was to attempt to establish
one. After cheating the people this way
once, think you they will trust you again?
But ifyou withdraw your support from a
bank, what is to be done with "Harry of
the West" and what "honors'' are the re-
signation Of the late Cabinet to bring to
the whig party, the members of which re.
signed on this question also? II you
''cut loose" from bank, you must cut
loose also from Clay. 1.-THE bank ques.
tion has "stuck to you like poisoned
Clay has been the yam.
pire to knsw upon your very vitalS. You
have all then according to your own story,
deserved the fate you have brought upon
yourselves. Just be HONEST, is all we
ask. lfyOu are in favor OF bank +; ifnot,
cut it occe for all.-[New Era.

An alarming fraud was discovered
about the end Of last month in regard to
the issue OF Exchequer Bills. The fraud
appears to have been continued for sew
eral years, and so far as had appeared
amounted 10 about 100000. Government
had taken measures to have all the bills
returned into the Exchequer, examined
restamped and returned, and large part
of the fraudulent issue had been traced,
and found to be in very few hands
One individual in the Comptroller Gener-
ais Office, Mr.. Beaumont Smith, nephew.
ofthe late Sir Sidney Smith, had been
arrested. Itappears that the bills were
issued by this person, one Of three who
signed the Ezchequsr bills as deputies,
Although t is SAID that slrictly.none but
Lord Montegal himself and one deputy
should have been allowed to sign them.
He was in the habit of having them de.
posted specially, with an engagement that
The same bills should be returned. 1T
was not yet determined what would be
done in the case Of innocent holders of
spurious bills, aud considerable anxiety
was felt upon the subject.

THE SHERIFF.

The last Examiner contains a charge oI
official misconduct against the Sheriff as
unfounded in fact as it is malicious in it's
origin. 1t is charged that, for the pur.
pOso Of obtaining pal.ry extra fees, or
Otherwise for the accomplishment of pri.
vato ends, he has detained a criminal in
jail longer than was necessary. This is
the amount Of the charge, although it is
couched in less tangible words. The
statute requires that criminals sentenced
10 tho Peneteniary shall be conveyed
thiiher within thirty days after conviction.
This requirement has been fully compIi,
ed with in the case Of Johnston alluded
to by the Examiner. While complying
with the staintes defining his duty, no pub,
lie officer can reasonably be Censurcd.
Within the limits 81 prescribed, the law
has left him the sole judge Of what part
Ofhis various Iabors requires his immediate
attention, aud what part mny be deferred
with the lest detrimont 10 Tho parties con
cerned. Tho du ies 9th Sheriff orrhis
county have lately greatly increased, and
there is n mass Of business that requires
his attention Immediately after tho ad.

it would have consisted with lis duty to
have deferred this business to convey
convict 10 Columbus and save The county

hc is the only proper judge, and no one

for exercising his judgement in the mat.

THE FUND COMMISSIONERS.
Will the Journal solve this problem for
the peoplei The State borrowS from non.
specie paying bank 100000 dollars of pa
per deprecated 10 per cent, and gives
her bonds payable in New York in twelve
months, with interest semi-annually, also
payable in New York. To pay 5000
dollars interest at the end of six, and
l0S,0 900 principal and interest at the end
of twelve months, she must either sell
state stocks at 90 or buy exchange at
lO.-aow much porannum does
the state pay? Will the Journal ro.
wise our figures belowi If TO raise 90
dollars the State must sell 100 dollars of
stock how much must she sell to raise
5000! Ans. 1888 33 dollars at the
end OF six months. How much 10 pay
10000 dollars at the end OF twelve
months? Ans. ll4,44f A. dollars. To
this add the amount paid at the end of
six months 1888 33 dollars and interest
on this last SUN for six months 100 dol
lars and you havo ll7,577 II dollars
which the State within the year pays or
contracts to pay in specie for these
100000 Of Deprecated paper, and the S'uso
of twelve months.
Some there are who say that this is on.
Iy about l9 per cent, which bye the bye
is right stought rate. We say that it is
over twenty-eght and half. The debt
cannot be paid in the thing borrowed.
1t must DO paid in specie, and although
the State should receive this 100, 900 dol
lars back from the farmer in taxes, vet
she will be compelled to pay 10 per cent.
for exchange and of course must charge
10 per ceQt more next year for taxes
ln this point of view it makes no differ
ence whether the farmer pays it first or
last. lfhis taxes are fifty dollars and he
pays him in this paper and the State gets
it shaved 10 per cent for exchange, the
farmer will next year find his taxes 55
dollars, 5 added for this depreciation.
Cannot the Journal SEQ thai if the Safe
is shaved the farmer is shaved? But is
it the fault Of the Commissioners that
State stock is at 90? 1t is undoubtedly
attributed to the way that our finances
have been managed. New York and
Massachusetts State stocks, even S per
cent. are al par, or nearly so we believe,
and as our stocks principal, and interest,
are payable in New York there can be no
good reason for a depreciation so long as
confidence in the ability and promptness
of the State stands unshoken by the con.
duct of those who control her finances.
That confidence has been shaken and the
stocks have come to 30. Will The late
conduct of the Commissioners bring il up
to par or carry it down another 10 to 8Of
We have SAID, however, several times,
that we are not STRENUOUS about % and
a half per cent. Will the journal take
issue on lS?-l5?-l2? Can the Jour.
nal satisfy the people thatit is necessary
or proper for the State to pay even tsi
