BouND AND ToNouE- T1ED.-The N.
York evening Mlrror, an ardent advocate
of Fillmore, and talented and racy
sheet wi.hal, has the following: nsa
Gen. Scott never, Us yet, wrote letter
on political question that did not essen>
rially weaken his position. He and his
advisers show wise sagacily in keeping 81,
lent But is not this silence constrained?
Was Gen. Scott ever knownof himself, 10
decline an epis,olarv tilt in politicsa In
factsdoes not his Itching lie especially in
that way? The General Is ready to
write; but Seward, Greeley, Mangum,
DC, know better than TO put dangerous
weapons into the old veterans hands. They
have bound and .ongue-.ied him.

Banks Going to Wind up.
The Fremont Democrat says.

The idea Of banks Of circulation wind
ing up because they are taxed as all other
property, is purely ridiculous-a stale elec.
tioneering warn. If they should do so; the
people would have cause for rejoicing. But
who is silly enough to suppose that any
such step will be taken unless compulsory
measures force them to it, so long as they
car make profits as follows!
Western Reserve, A 10 pr ct.
Commercial, Cincinnati 37,a 10
Akron Branch, 26,6 10
Commercial, Cleveland 24,9 41e
These it viii be remembers, are nst
profits above all expenses. Who except
banks realize any such income from capital
and who can better afford TO pay an
equal proportion oftaxes than bankers?

The Jnfy Interest.


The faetious organ Of whiggery, tho
breath of whose life is falseheod, has de-
voted its powers to the congsnial task Of
hunting mares nests. It found one and du-
ly proclaimed its feliciiious discovery. The
humbug that the last session Of the General
Assembly no provision was made for the
July interest, owns its origin to this source.
The Dayton Gazette having committed
the folly Of bruiting this statement upon
such VIGOROUSLY unreliable authority, Mr..
HoucK, member 6fths House from Mont
gomery county, replies to the, charge in the
following card:-Statesnan.
The Jalv Interest.
To the Edttorof the Gazette:
SIR: l observed in your paper Of Satur-
day morning, an extract from the STATE
Journal which declares that the Legislature
adjourned without making aAy provision
for the payment Of the July interest on the
State debt. 1t is TO correct this error that |
request you to publish the following sections
of the act TO define the duties of The Com.
missioners Of the Sinking Fund:
Sec. G.. The acting Commissioner Of
the Sinking Fund is hereby especially re-
CURED, authorised, and fully empoacered
under the advice and with The coneurrence

of the State, and redeem, according TO law
all the valid certificate. Of the publ c debt
which have been assigned or created on the
part of the State, and TO preserve, TO the
extent Of his power, the faith and credit of
the State; for which purpose he may, with
the concurrence Of said Board, execute and
deliver, in behalf of the State, all necessary
certificates Of the public debt and other in
strument of writing relating thereto. which
by law may be required to be issued.
Sec. 9. All money paid into the State
Treasury, belonging to.the Sinking Fund,
shah be disbursed by the Treasurer of State
to the agent, for the payment Of the prirci-
pal and interest Of the public debt, in the
investment ofthe Sinking Fund, or for other
purposes, as other moneys are disbursed up
pom the draft Of the Auditor Of State, to be
drawn upon the requisiton Of the Sinking
Fund Commissioners and signed by the ac.
ting Commissioner, and at least one other
mem Der of the Board. s
The act to which the foregoing sections
form part, was passed on the 10Th Of
March. H.
We have italicised the clause Of the above

CoMpLlMENRARy.-Th man who does
up the blackguardism for the Cleveland
Herald calls the members Of the late Con-

for adopting a provision requiring the Leg.
islature to provide for municipal corporations
by general laws, or in ether words, doing
away with the curse Of special legislation
which has occupied more than hall its time
and ccasioned SO much Of its expense here
tofore. He weuld probably, desire to ex-
tend his complement to the people, who by
a majority Of some q. .oe0 votes sanctioned
the work Of that aset OF blockheads" !"
Nothing more hurts the feelings of Wing
Editors and leaders than the adoption Of
the New Constitution, thought they dared
not openly attack IFS provisions, before its
adoption. and since then, they have endeav4
ored to argue that it vas not party
measure.

Majority In favor Of raising pay. 10
The Journal can thus see the predica-
ment in which it places its party friends.
First it advocated high salaries and then
it turns round, and charges such increase
as extravagance. ~
Under the new Constitution it requires
eighteen members in the Senate and fpfty-
nine members in the Hcute, to pass bill
into a law, and hence the bill increasing the
salaries of mem bers, as will be seen by the
above vote, could not have passed either
branch without wbig votes. In the Senate
every whig present voted for the increased
pay, while fourteen democrats stand re.
