Gambler and COuNterfeiIer Arrested.
Attempt at Suicide

Hyfam Hobbs, under bail to appear at the next
term of Court fcr Harrison county, on q charge
ofsgambng, was arrested at the instance of his
bail, near Westchester, Tuscarawas county, on
"Wednesday night last It seems he has been
engaged in passing counterfeit notes on the N
(. Banks, ,--20s on the Bank of Utica we be.
lieve, and his bail getting wind of it, had him ar.
rested in anticipation of a warrant from the pro-
per authorities. The circumstances are these
Mr.. Mccormick, the new sheriff, though moi
sworn in yet, getting some clew to his wherea-
bouts, proceeded with three others abont three
quarters ofa mile on the road leading OUT from
Westchester, when they met Thomas Batton,w
was also concerned in the coenterfeitng busi
uess, and who made his escape from Sheriff
Barrett few weeks ago. but he was not recog-
rised until too late to arrest him; few rods far
ther on they fell in with Hobbs, and after an ami
mated little scuffle secured, bound and took hin
TO Westcheser, where they passed the night. Ir
the morning he wished to be shaved before be
ing conveyed to prison, and while they were ma
king the necessary preparations, he got hold o
the razor, and remarking that he would shave
himself, drew it across his throat twice before h
could be prevented, making two frightful Incl
sions, partly cutting the jngqler ven During
big struggles they unbound him, andhe ran thro
the house, his wound bleeding profuseIy. HI
was finally knocked down, and after considera

thought he cannot live. Himself and everythin!
about the house was covered with gore, present

the farmer in this country will probably keep
Ohio stock at psr, and may give it an upward
tendency. This will give the people confidence
in the stability Of the Ohio banks, and will great
ly facilitate their business; but this will only
make the ruin and devastation more general and
extended when il does come as come 1t must.
There is no law for the punishment of Bank
er's crimes, as bankes, aud in that day of gene
raj prostration and ruin the people will make a
law as quick in operation as it shall be summary
md Just. They will nave been goaded TO mad
ness by the many and off repeated injuries which
shall have been inflicted upon them, and the
swindIing bankers, STOCKHOLDERS and speculators
will be consumed in the fire they have so incon.
siderately kIndled.
These are no idle words, we have examined
the bank bill again and again, and the conclu
sion is inevitable, down they muSi go, and the
sooner the better, since they must go at last.
The present is full of perpexity, gloom ant
doubt, but through the darkness, confusion anC
general distress we see brighter day dawnlng
when healthy andjudicious arrangement of th'
currency will place the people in state of pros
Iperity, contentment and happiness. That will b.
a bright day for the Democracy.

A sensible view OF the Bank Law.


We request every man, who, al the late cleo
ton, voted to sustain and keep in existence the
present nquitous Banking Law, to read the fol-
lowing sensible paragraph which we clip from
the money article of the last New York News.
Facts and figures can't lie;
awe will suppose that there are five persons
who wish 10 form a company in Ohio in good
faith. They have a capital, say $4,000, and
may choose between the two plans. If hey
choose the State branch they are TO have no.
mnal capital of 100000, and are TO pay up
| $4,000. They may then deposit $1,000 with
the board of CONTROL and receive S60,OOO OF cir
culating notes, with which they can Immediately
90 on with their business. If they choose the
independent plan, they must have a nominal ca
pital of $4,000; they must pay $4,000 Of ca
pitaI, buy $4,000 of stock, 10 be deposited with
the Comptroller, and receive $4,000 of circu-
Ilating notes. The same capital under the free
plan will give them one-fourth the circulation
ithey may obtain under the State branch system.
Of course as the object is to circulate notes, the
latter will be the only plan avaed of Further
more, although The capital of branch is, by one
lsecton oft law, not to be less than 100000,
another section makes the payment of more Than
sixty per cent. of that amount optional ,Cith the
Stockholders, thus, in fact, making the minimum
capital 100000. Hence, five PERSONS, with a
icapi,al of $40 900 may issue $l20,000 of notes,
whereof $4,000 may be discounted to the stock
holders and used by them in paying up their in.
4 Istalments This is all that is required of honest
bankers by the strict letter of the law. 4he
$4,000 of original capital may, however, never
exist, except as kites on New York, because the
= 55th section makes New York credit specie
wherever that term is used in the law. Hence,
$4,000 to deposte with the board ofcontrol is all
that is necessary to start branch bank. The
free banks are required to produce actual stock
for the notes they circnlate and as the same OBJ
lect can be attained without that provision under
the other part of the law, il may easily be suppo-
sed that the stock will not be bought, The ppe.
ration of the law will probably be TO give Ohio
I$l6,000,000 of circulation under the branch
lnlan.

Another annual election has passed away, and
the Democracy of Ohio have beln beaten This
has been done by appealing TO The cupidlty of
the people, steadily conceaIng their true inter-
ess from them The whg promises ofgood banks
and plenty of money, though false 10 the sense,
were pleasant to the ear, and they have accord
ngy succeeded. 1t would be useless to pon:
out the vIlainous points of the Bank Law, as all
who cared any thing about it have examined il
long since, and those who have moi never will.
| 1t is with extreme regret we learn that several
persons who have heretofore acted with the De.
mocratic party have been so far deluded as to
vote for the whig candidate for Representative
Every good Democrat must set himself firmly in
opposition TO this gigantic scheme OF plunder,and
not tacitly approve the measure by remaining in
active. Those who approve this measure have
swung themselves far from the platform Of equa
rights, and will be as likely to drop into The
ranks Of Ghiggery as any where else. The banl
law has now gone into operation, and any effort
on the part of the Democrats, or any others
TO repeal or modify it would be breach of faitI
with the swindlers, and unconstitutional Th
The course of the Democracy is plain, neve
countenance the measure by word or deed, s
far as itcan possibly be helped, SO that when tn

Monument to General Jackson.

The readers attention is directed TO the pub
lcatiOn on the first page of this days paper, in
regard to monument proposed 10 be erected to
the memory of General ANDREW JACKSON. We
feel assured that the measure viii meet with tue
hearty, unanimous and spontaneous concurrence
Of The American people The name of AndIew
jackson stands foremost among the great and
good men of the present age. A pillar of stone
OF of marble will not add one cubit to his great
ness; but yet the American people owe it to
themselves and 10 their country, TO erect Ma
tonal Monument, WHICH will be permanent and
durable, and stand TO the remoest age, as proud
memorial of the gratitude and patriotism of the
citizens of this free and wide spread Republic
We believe that contributions towards the cree
tion of the jackson Monument will not be con
fined to the Democratic party. There are libe

posed to the policy and measures Of Gen. Jack
sons administration, yet they at all times admi

UNITED STATES DEBT.

TntaL.


Now, with an average of near $l0,000,O0O
on hand for a whole year, the government is
paying 1914, ,294 per annum interest for money
it does not want, WHY is this absurd and waste
full expenditure? Because the wise system OF
treasury notes adopted and persevered in during
the secretaryship of Levi Woodbury. was aban-
doned on the advent of the whig party. The
treasury notes always floated as medium Of eX-
change, and were taken up to an extent of some
$l0,O00,000 in the internal operations of trade
and they had the advantage of being receivable
for government dues, and payable at the close
of each year; by which means the department
never paid interest on loans, which money was
lying idle in the treasury. A system so econo-
micaI did not suit the bank fnanciers that came
into power. They funded the notes in stock
redeemable in twenty years The six per cent
stock redeemable in 1868 will cost, principal and
Interest, SlS,343,8S6; and the money is OF
hand, loaned out, free Of interest, to pet banks
The five per cent. stock will cost $40 100000
before it is redeemcd making $l3,500,O0(
of interest money absolutely squandered upol
brokers, in addition to the 100000 per annun
of interest on the money deposited with them
The interest on this deposte for ten years a
mounts TO $6,000,000, and added 10 that actu
ally paid by the government, makes $l9,5OO,O0C
of the peoples money absolutely given to bank
and brokers. without any equivalent whatever
merely through the substitution of the whig fund
ing system for the wise policy they found in oF
Grafton when they camo into power.

Whig Policy.

The Washington Union says: "Fhe following
article from tie N. Y. Morning News forOiby il
luspates the policy of the wings while they were
in the ascendency. Among the first act of the
wings on coming into power in lS4l, was 10 re;
peal the law establishing an independent treasu-
ry, without providing substitute. They then
contracted debts, and made long loans, having
ten and twenty years to run, with high interest to
pay hem, and without making provision for re-
demption at par when the treasury should possess
surplus; but, on the contrary, fastening interest
upon the people for these periods, unless the GO
vernment should submit to pay stockjobbers such
premium as they might ask to receive TO pay
in advance. Then they gave us the unequal
and unjust tariff, designed TO raise much more
revenue than is needed-more than an econc-
mica and prudent administration would wish to
to spend. This produces surplus which, foi
the want of treasury of its own, the govern.
lnent is compelled to leave in banks, when il is
loaned out at Iroht of sixp per cent paid in adj
vance, and is the means of aiding spectators to
indulge in schemes of extravaganza. This is
whig policy, whig fnancerng, and whig patr
otsm Can there be doubt but that this whole
scheme was deliberately contrived to produce
these extraordinary results? Debts, with high
interest are fastened upon us, which we are no
permitted to pay at par. The peoples inde
Ipendent treasury is repealed, so as to make banks
the keepers of the public money. Then ia
riff is created to produce surplus The banks
have the use Of it for nothing, while the people
are compelled to pay and six per cent for tel
and twenty years ON millions borrowed. This i
madness, which is calculated to make the ricl
richer and the poor poorer. .-

From Sept 23, lS44 to the 3Oth UT; compile
ted year; and in that time it will be observed,
the amount of money on hand has declined $3,-
805, 5,622-showing that the expenses Of the year
have exceeded the revenue 10 that extent 1t
must be taken into account, however, that ST.
537 ,9l7 of stock debt has been discharged on

This leaves balance of $3732,29l EXCESS OF
revenue from all sources, oyer current expenses

So that the customs revenue under the present
exorbitant tariff have been scarcely more than

BILE, that while this amount of money is lying
idle in bank, bone of contention among specu
lative brokers, the government is paying more
than million per annum interest on borrowed
money. The debt is now as follows;
