The GRAVEYARD.

More than once we have called at
tention to the condition of our grave
yard. II is so full that it is almost
impossible for families to be buried to-
gether. We are pleased to announce
that there is a fair prospect of remedy
ing the evil. We learn that the As
signees of Mr.. Tyner, have offered the
lot Immediately north of the old grave
yard to the town trustees at 81 OOO.-
This is most eligible lot, and the
Trustees have determsned to buy it, if
the citizens will authorize them to do
so. Already very many citizens have
signed the petition, and we hope none
will refuse. 1t is at Gallons store.
Though the lot may cost thousand
dollars it need be but little, if any, out
of the town treasury. 1t is capable
of making 300 lots, one rod by two.
with suitable walks between, aud yet
leave a surplus for those who do not
wish to buy family lots. One hundred
Of these could be sold within month
of being laid off, at SIS each, thus re-
turning Immediately, nearly, or quite,
half of the cost of the whole. This
would leave still 200 lots which would
be taken from time to time. When
laid off and fitted up, the corporation
authorities should charge reasonable
sum for burying in the yard by those
who do not live in town. We would
not be in favor of charging for its use
by any citizen, unless he bought a fam
lily lot, but it is unjust to tax the peo-
pie of town to buy a burying-ground
and keep it fenced, for the entire COM
munity for several miles around.

PRoHIBIToRY LIQUoR LAVA new
prohibitory liquor bill has been re-
ported in the New York Legislature.
1t is a modification of the bill vetoed
by Gov. Seymour, in that it does not
authorize the searching of a house for
liquors, unless the occupant has been
previously convicted under the act
1t does not permit the wife or nearest
relative of an Incorporate person to sue
for consequential damages. In some
minor respects, also, the proposed bill
differs from the vetoed one. The
minority of the committee, it is un-
derstood, will also make areport rather
however, in the form of an argument
than by bill. They will maintain that
the present excise laws are sufficient
to guard against intemperance ifprop-
erly enforced.

THE RIGHT SPrRIT.-A whole-soul-
ed Irishman, living in this county,
hearing that the Broolxville College
might have to be suspended on account
of debt, promptly said it must not be,
and proved his sincerity by pledging
500, and promising another hundred,
lift should be needed. This man is
an Owe Nothing. and holds in just
adherence the Do Nothings Of the
land. If all of our men of means
would initiate this noble example, the
world would be the better for their
having lived.

CAPITOL, Jan: IA, 1855.


Mr.. GooDwIN:-A measure has
been proposed, for the acceptance of
all Indiana Free Bank paper at its face,
by the Treasures of the several Coun-
ties, for taxes due the State. 1t is
warmly advocated. Its friends say
that the plan, if adopted, will secure
the hypothecation of the interest due
from the State in July next-they pro-
pose taking these notes and depositing
them with the Auditor of State, and
redeem ing the bonds on deposit with
him, after which they propose throw
ing these bonds in market and from the
avails to liquidate the July claim of
interest. The opponents of the meas
ure on the other hand contend that the
public at large will be little benefited,
that the large amount of notes issued
by the non specie banks have passed
into the hands of bankers and brokers.
That the said banks cannot be reusci-
tated by the plan proposed, that it
may give them momentary life and vi
tality, but as soon as the taxes have
been paid, they will sink into the same
state of insignifcance which they now
hold.
They object also to placing Corners
vile and other banks of like stamp
on par with paper of specie-paying
banks, which would be the result of a
bill passed embodying the sentiments
expressed in the resolution which was
referred to the Finance Committee,
for a report of which see Daily Ind,
Journal.
The measure is advocated by the
first men in the State, but unfortun-
ately, the advocates of,the measure are
directly FOR remotely connectedi with
these banking institutions, and expect
to reap rich harvest by its passage,
but predict that the day of its pass.

There was harmony in

fectly agree. There was harmony in
the large committee Of 81. The House
of course will go for it-of that there
is no question. 1t is now equally clear
that the measure has a majority in the
Senate. Old Liners consider them
selves instructed and bound by popu-
lar sovereignty to bow TO the wishes
of the people. The Governor aciH not

our Supreme Court, which has thus
far seemed TO have a sort of barberous
pleasure in striking down all humani-
tartan schemes. Perhaps it will pro-
nounce the bill unconstitutional. 1t
has long been suspected that some Of
that bench consider Temperance quite
unconstitutional, so FAR as they are
personally concerned.
The disposition is to enact some
stringent provision in regard to bank
ing. One, is that of infnting severe
civil and criminal penalties on any
banker who shall, directly or indirect
ly, shave his own paper. They must
give full equivalent for their 'promi-
