BANK FRAUDS OPENLY CONFESSED ID
aoJgsaea BY A WHIG.
Governor Wood, in his inaugural, called
~ attention Of the Legislature and the
People to the extraordinary privileges con:
ferred by a whig Bank Legislature upon
the banking system of the State. The
whig organ Of this city, after breathing
few days, attacks at length the Inaugural
ofsGovernor Wood in relation to banks,
taxation and vested wrongs. As pretty
good offset to much the. Journal has said,
we quote the following from a letter from
'thisicity to the Coshocton Republican, a
whig paper. '4sis Il sh.a ~
a, The letter was written by Mr.. Medill,
4what a name, for a whig!) the editor Of
she Republican, who is, or was here, at
the opening ofthe session. We commend
this to the, Journal, and hope we shall
hear its explanation of the matter. ~
.ct II will be seen by this letter, that wings
as we'll as Governor Wood and the demo-
;crats, believe that the present banking sys-
tenn is something else than what it oughtto
be, and that corruption eyeris at the foun-
Jation fit We hope the Journal will not
pass this whig evidence by lightly:
sFrom the Coshocton Republican, (whig. }

70 the Cslabpose, demanded and got the
keys, opened the door and took out the
negro, tied the end Of q rope around his
neck, and drew him up to the limb of o
tree near the 'Calaboose. and held the other
end Of the rope until the negro was hung
dead. 1t was certainly one Of the most
awful sights ever witnessed Imagine,
for q moment, crowd Of gentlemen. (the
aristocracy of the city,) with one end of a
rope around the negro's neck, the rope
thrown over the limb of shade tree in the
city, alocust,) and holding on to the other
end until the negro would hang dead; the
negro's eyes pressed from their sockets,
and CLASSY; his tongue protruding from his
mouth; his features distorted in the ago
nies Of death, and you have some idea OF
the scene. The corpse Of the negro was
given to doctor. examined the body
after death. His neck was not broken.
The white man who was with him is
stranger in this place. He was also COM
mitted to the Calaboose. About 9 o'clock
last night, a mob gathered around the Cal
aboose, and demanded the white man.
The person in charge Of that concern in
formed them that the white man had been
removed to the county Jail at Rolla, some
IL or Is miles from this place, and the
mob dispersed. Had the white man fallen
Into the hands ofthe mob, there isno doubt
but he would have been hanged.
Mr.. Chester was very estimable man.
His death is much lamented. He left
wife and 7 or 8 children to mourn their
irreparable loss. The case was hard one
indeed. 10 witness the agonies OF the be-
reaved family-the widow in the most dis
tressed situation, and the Oldest son almost
a maniac must say, that when saw
the situation Of the bereaved family, |
thought the negro deserved his fate. But
Law and Order, thou art dear!
The white man was examined this day,
with strong force around the office-was
cleared, and guarded out of town, and
permitted to depart in peace. This unfor-
tunate occurrence mas caused great ex-
element in this city. give you the facts,
as nearly as ! can, without comment.

here up to this time. Markets forproduce
good. Pork and corn extremely scarce
