Conants, some of my readers may possibly
be able to inform the public-I am unable to
do SO.
In the "Coal Bank" case two o. the
names are familiar to many of US, but who
is +. Cheek, who acknowledged the articles
by proxy, and verbal proxy at that, for all
that appears,
Will the public credit the statement, that
amongst these six men, who have under
manufacturing act started two moneyed in
;titutions in Evansville, the one with capt.
tai of S5o0,0O0, the other with $50 900,
there is not so much as one dollar of taxable
property upon the county tax books, and no,
even one taxable poll! 1t will not do to tell
me that these concerns have originated since
the taxes of the current year attached, fer
those CO neccted with them who are resi-
dent now, were resident last year.
1t is worthy of remark, that unsubstantial
as are the corporators composing these cor
porations, not one of them ventures to risk

that strangers to the records are made
"cashier-"-save the MARYLAND this leads
us to enquire as t. the office aud duties Of u
cashier ofsuch concerns: 1t will have been
seen that the manufa curing act under which
these organizations were got up, knows no
such otficer-has no place or use TOR him,
but does know presi .ent secretary and treas
urer. These concerns need only a "cash-
er." And | here charge that the duties OF
the cashier of these concerns are very
simple. They consist merely in putting the
bills issued, and handing those ills over to
the presiding genius, whose last name ap-
pears Gin prinD on the top OF the issues of
one concern, and who is the guiding and
lruing spirit of them both. say these CASH
iers have no other official duty to perform
Are they employed in the i0int Office of the
two concerns! Do they stand behind a
counter there or at desk, or do the agreea-
BILE to customers anywhere! No, certainly
not; but one edits paper, and the other fig
ures as assistant editor OF another paper
These facts are significant, and suggestive
of the idea of an attempt on the part o.
these corporations to brbe the press. The
attempt, if it was made, has not wholly sue
