NJ We cannot imagine what the News hopes
TO make by such assertions as the above-we
only know that they are grossly untrue. What
we have stated with regard 10 the dissemination

wholly or in part, the interest on their State Debt.
is the very truth, and the incidents by which we
have proved it are also thoroughly authentic.
We were in constant correspondence, through
the ln,e session, with Members Of the Indiana Lee
oielature who had not particle of interest in
Stnte Bonds, except the interest which every man
has and every honest man feels, IN the perfect H.
teori,y and good faith Of the community OF which
he is n member They are most determined An
ii. Repudators, and their word Is better thansany
Reoudiator's oath--yes, that OF any apologies,
of Repudiation. What we have stated on their
authority, not only with regard 10 public acts bu,
TO the disposition of the Governor and majority
of the Legislature Of Indiana to rcpudiatc prac
tcally, by taking no steps that would facilitate
or look towards ultimate payment, we maintain
TO the last iota Ii is also true that the Governor
refused to recommend and the Legislature TO
adopt any measure signiiying assent TO propo
sition made on behalf of IL majority OF the Bond
holders in effect to forgive onehaf the debt til the
State would recognize and pay interest on the
other half The fact has since transprcd that
the agent OF the Bond-holders who made this
offer exceeded his instructions, and had no au-
thorty to propose terms OF compromise at all
But tins has not the least baering adverse 10 any

or were determined to pay the whole. (as the
News has once Intimately but because the Co.
vernon and Legislature were drerSe TO iecyins u
tar to pay epea hall the interest, on condition
that the other half should be torgiren. Now II
any one chooses to contradictus on these points,
he is welcome TO the reputation he will gain by 1t;
bur f he SAYS we have retreated from them, he
does us the grossest injustice and himself pal
pable injury.
II The SAFE, in which are deposited our Sub
scription and Mail Books, &c. has not yet been
dug out of the ruins of our former office. 1t
was reached Yesterday after much eXertion, and,
So tar as could be judged by appearances It's con-
tents are likely to come out uninjured. 1t will
doubtless be extricated from the rubbish this
morning.
P S. Since the foregoing was in type, the Safe
has been got out and opened. The contents,
though not without visible marks OF the severe
ordeal 10 which they had been exposed, were
found to be in good state of preservation. The
Mail Books will not even need ,ranscnbing. The
containing money, notes, &c. being
composed Of leather were thoroughly charred and
spoiled, but the cash between TWO aud three
hundred dollars in bills, and between twenty aed
thirty dollars in specie and the papers are as
cooa as new The Safe-a SAiAMANDgR-was
by Mr Herring. l39 Waier-street,
under whose vigorous and welldirected efforts II
was taken out OF the ruins. 1t was found sur
rounded by burning timbers, and had evidently
been exposed to the severest action OF the ire
The door was slightly sprung, but very little diff
fcul,y was found in opening it with a key We
do not see how any Safe could acquire better
certificate Of character
Our Mail Books we believe have all been pre-
served with a single exception The one in which
were entered the subscriptions Tor the Weekly
Tribune from the South, received pnor 10 ocio.
Der last, being in use after the Safe was locked
for the night. was DESTROYED by the tire.
REV. GEo B. CHEEvHH was at Charleston,
c. on the 18th ul,imo, having arrived there t'om
Cuba, TO which place he sailed from Harre three
months since. hoping TO meet there sick brother,
whose death, however, occurred before his ARRIVAL
A letter FROM Mr. Cheever, from which We gather
these facts, appears in the New-Iovk Evangelist OF
this week. Il contains most touching and beau
rfuliy-wri,len notice OF his late brothers character
and death.
