The Little G,ant speculat,ng.


The Cleveland Leader states that CO.
partnership was formed last summer between
s. A. Douglas. of Illinois; Bird Chapman,
ex-mal agent; Forney, editor Of the Wash
ington Union and Clerk of the House OF Rep
resentatives; J. w. Gray, editor of the Plain
Dealer and Postmaster at Cleveland; VIM.
Green, of Elyra, O., and one other person
whose name is forgotten-that this company
bave secured $4,000 purchase of Indian
Reservation lands in Nebraska Territory
and that $4,000 has been paid down, to be
forfeited in case the company should fail to
pay the residue at the time stipulated.
This, if true, (and we are inclined to think
it is,) accounts for the "milk in the cocoa
nut" or in other words, for the pcrtinacity
with which the Arnold of politics pushed
through the Nebraska Bill. The Wanted
patriotism of Mr.. Douglas and the spotless
character of Mr. Forney, thus end in land
speculation.
The Leader affirms that the aforesaid com.
pany are exerting all their influence with the
President to have Cummings appointed per.
manent Governor of the Territory; and thai
if lhoy succeed in this, Cummings has agreed
to locate the seat Of Government at the vii
lage of Belleville, on the lands purchased BY
the company.
! We don't doubt it at all; the devil general
ly rewards his servants handsomely. and j
would not become the President or Cover
nor Cummings to do less by theirs.

State Bank OF indiana.

In the money article Of the New York
Evening post of late date we find the fol-
lowing:
In our remarks on Monday last we, per-
haps, did the State Bank Of Indiana some in
justice. From a source well informed ON the
subject and highly respectable, we learn
that TIE branches of the State Rank have,
with few exceptions, taken the notes Of the
free banks of that state in pay ment OF debts,
and have acted in a spirit OF liberality towards
them. The State Bank is rot seeking re-
charter, as We are told. 1t is thought by
many OF it's leading stockholders that, under
the constitution OF that state requiring the
personal liability clause to be inserted in
future charters, the legislature cannot grant
a charter That will be acceptable to them.
From the same source we learn that the
State Bank of Indiana is solvent and we'll
managed, fully able to meet its obligations
in coin with promptness, and that its stock
is greatly above par. This bank has been
one OF the principal sources of the prosper
ity of the state Of Indiana. In 1885, the
year following that in which the bank went
into operation, the taxables of the state were
only eighty million dollars, with population
Of 240.0 souls. Now the taxaoles are
near four hundred millions, and the popula-
ton over one and quarter million.
The branches, thirteen in number occupy
ing the principal commercial points in the
state, loaned their money to the citizens to
aid in the carrying TO market the products Of
the soil, and promoting state industry.
Until last year there were no other banks
in the state. Ii 10 owned and managed by
citizens of Indiana, identified with the inter.
ests and prosperity of the state. The surplus
fund of the bank is stated to be equal to
about sixty per cent. of its capital stock.
The bank 10 not popular with certain par
ties, as always having met her own oblga-
lions, she expects her debtors to do the same
as promptly. In this respect late events in
that state show lamen,able want of good
faith.
We are authorized TO say that the obliga-
tions of the State Bank will be promptly me,
under any and all circumstances. No bank
in the Union stands higher in the West
where it is best known.
Its circulation at the present time is one
million less than at the same time last year
On the 3lst of October it had Sl,l00, 900 in
specie, 100000 due to it from eastern bank.
ers and banks, and $4,000 from other
banks.

We copy the following important decis-
ion Of our Supreme Court from the Seati-
mel:
On the 25th December, 1853, Hon. John
p. Dunn, Auditor Of State, caused q suit to
be brought against John w. Hamilton, Au-
ditor oi Marion county. for failing To tax the
Peru and Indianapolis K. r. Co., to the
amount of its true valuation. and manda.
mus was moved to be directed to the County
Auditor, commanding him to tax said COM
pany, &c. The cause WAS submitted to the
Circuit Court, and perempiory mandamus
refused by Judge Major. The case was then
taken 10 the Supreme Court on appeal, upon
which decision was delivered yesterday by
Judge Perkins.
The Court decided that simply taxing the
stock Of the road 10 net sufficien under the
assessment law, bat the entire line Of the
road. its cost of construction, rolling stock
and buildings, are fair objects for taxation,
and that the Court below erred ia refusing
a peremptory mandamus. The judgment
was reversed with costs, aud the cause re.
manded for further proceeding in accordance
with The opinion of the Supreme Corrt.
We learn that all the railroads in this
State, with the exception of the Ind Ianapo-
lis o. Cincinnati, and the Northern Indiana
& Southern Michigan. are affected by this
decision. The aggregate amount of revenue
which will accrue to the State, as the effect
Of this. decision will be from S50, 1000 to 5 l0O,.
900.

T% AID. SANDERS, editor of the Evansville
Journal. Familiarity known as "little AID :"
spent Tuesday last in this place, seeing the
sights always visible in a large and thriving
city, and enjoying the company Of his friends
and acquaintances. He was lost in admira-
ton for the beauty Of Terre Haute, and it's
prospects. Before his visit, he supposed Ev-
ansville had no rival ia Indiana.
[Tsrre Haute Jour.
Terre Haute is more than q mere rival Of
Evansville in beauty-but we must continue
firm in the faith that there is very consider
ably more Of the business city about Evans
vile. Evansville is illuminated by gas at
night, and by the gas of three daily papers
in the day. Terre Haute fickers through
lite safer dark existence in the smoke Of
tallow candles and lard oil, and wakes up in
the morning to the refreshment of only one
brief daily. Ali right though. Terre Haute,
as we have said, is growing fast, and may
yet put on some Of the airs Of Evansville
We shall hope before our head grows grey
to see Daily Jouanal at the Prairie City
with cur very clever friend McLean's name
at the head. We owe Mac gratitude for his
kind attentions to us, and hope he will come
down here soon and give US a chance TO ex-
hibit our feelings.

RICHMOND, Dec. I

RICHMOND, Dec. l.
The Democratic State Convention met in
Staunton. Col. Geo. Bayler, Chairman,
Wm. +. Richie and Robt. w. Hughes, Sec.
retaries. A committee, one from each dis.
trict was appointed to nominate permanent
officers. They reported Oscar NJ. Crutch-
field, of Spcttsylvania, President, aud l3
Vice Presidents; the Secretaries as above.
Confusion ensued upon a motion TO 90 into
nomination for Governor. After a long de-
bate upon the rules as to the casting vote,
Mr.. ShOckleford moved that the Convention
would not make nominations for Governor or
Lieut.. Governor unless the candidates re-
ceive votes sufficient TO represent majority
OF the whole Democratic vote of the State
Mr.. Garnett offered a substitute that they
shall require a majority OF the votes cast to
nominate candidates for Governor, Lieut..
Governor. and Attorney General, which was
adopted. This is considered a triumph for
the Wise party, it being the strongest in the
convention. Exciting times expected. En-
forts will probably be made to further amend
by adopting the two-thrds rule. The Dem
ocratic vote in the convention 10 90, 400
The whole Democratic yote of the State is
