In noticing Dir. Ingle's reply to nv article

he reminds me very much of Shakespeare

the legal and mercantile talent of Venice
we to consign him to the unholy sacrifice
Of the selfish Jew.
1t is true have not refuteJ manv of the
false statements to be found in Mr.. Ingle's
articles, yet he may ind in my answers to
them, that he will experience the same feel.
ing that Shvlock did, when told to take his
bond by the righe ous Judgt. In order to al
lay this controversy in regard to the i!egaI
njtes OF these companies, which so deeply
trouble Mr.. l. and is friends, all out Of re-
gard for the dear people, / would state
that all the notes Of these institutions, as
DIR. l. calls them, that have been paid ou;
amount to but trivial sum, and that have
means OF knowing that all the notes paid
out by said companies, will be promptly re.
deemed by them. And / will further state
that have no doubt, that the parties inter.
ested will not pay out more of these notes.
until proven as clear as sunbeam that they
are DUNG a legal business, and will be pro-
tected in their business operations by the
constitution of the State of Indiana, Mr.. I.'s
opinion to the contrary notwithstanding
And now a word in regard to the Thame
Bank. have paid out at my counter
seine Of the Tha les Banks notes, which
are as responsible and as legal as the notes
OF any of the free banks, anu hold myself
bound to this community to make them So.
Some Of the Cine nnai brokers are discount

counting the notes of the free banks of this
city at from to 40 per cent. Anu Mr.. |.

notes. and holds up to the public that they
are fraudulent and worthless, at the same

Fie. fe. Mr.. rngle, such perfidy ill not

his true light. Will Mr. !. please answer
the following questions, with plain yes or NJ,
without comment.
Has company the right to pay out their
notes Tor a piece of coal land, or for shovels
or picks, to be used BY said company for
mining purposes! Or has a company the
right TO give their notes tor wool, cotton.

that Baes leads Grimes a half doz n votes !;
