Foreign N eWs.

The foreign news is important. 1t Is pain
full to know that so many gallant men from
France and England have been sacrificed to
the folly and arrogance of their respective
governments; but we feel great satisfaction at
the defeat of the allies. We wish them to
be soundly thrashed by Russia and driven in
ignominy from the Crimea. They have re-
fused fair and honorable terms of peace, and
have been for some time prosecuting a wal
Of aggression to humiliate Russia. We are
happy to observe a great change in the tone
of many of our exchanges in reference to this
subject
We regret that the success of the Russians
was not more decisive; it was only enough
to wound the pride of the allies, without
abating their arrogance, and may stimulate
them to renewed exertions, in order to wipe
out the disgrace. The blow which bring:
peace must be crushing blow.
Perhaps the death of Louis NAPOLEON
might have the effect of securing peace. Il
would certainly derange things in France, SC
as to paralyse the efforts of that power, and
England could do nothing alone by land
Heretofore the life of the Emperor has beer
regarded as a guaranty of European repose
Perhaps his death would be better.

Busin ess Prospects

There is no good reason to anticipate any
arrangement in the business affairs of the
country. The crops generally are abundant,
which will remove all fear of scarcity and
diminish prices. Notwithstanding the diff
culties of the last year, the country has come
out swimmingly: farmers lost half their crops,
but they showed no signs Of diminished pros
perity; and even the merchants, with broken
banks and want of money around them, have
proceeded onward as if they were acting on
cash basis. MIKE WALSH, speaking Of
Democracy, once said, ELASTIC Democracy
is hell-proof." The spirit of the remark is
applicable to the business affairs of our
country. We are beyond the reach of per-
manent disaster, such is the inherent STRENGTH
and resources of the people.
If the war in Europe is brought to a close
capital from all quarters will flow to the
United States for investment; and if it goes
on, our exports of every kind will be increased
and we shall have larger European market

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,


SRI have examined the claim presented
by you, under the joint resolution of the
Legislature of the State of Indiana, approved
March 5, 1856, for the payment of S106, 861,-
70 to the State of Indiana, being so much of
the per cent. fund, arising out of the sales
of the Public Lands in that State, under the
provision of the 9th section of the Act of
Congress, approved April 10, 1916, for the
admission of Indiana into the Union, and
which, under the joint resolution of Congress
approved March 3, 1916, has been retained
and carried into the treasury in payment of
interest on Indiana State bonds, held by the
United States in trust, for the Chickasaw In
dians, and have fully considered your able
aud ingenious argument upon the question,
the heads of which you furnished in writing
| have not arrived at the conclusion that
the per cent. fund on the amount of the
sale of the public lands in the State of Indi-
ana is strictly or even quasi trust funds. In
my opinion there is part of the act of the
18th April, 1916, for the admission of Indi-
ana into the Union, in the nature of pact or
agreement, created on the part of the United
States by said act, and the acceptance of the
terms thereof by Indiana. By this pact or
agreement, three-ffths $50 of the net pro-
ceeds of the sales of public lands in the State
of Indiana, after a certain day, were to be APP
piled by the Legislature of Indiana to the
and two-fifths (25) by Congress to the con-
struction of road or roads leading to said
State. This pact or agreement appears to
have been complied with by Congress paying
over to the State of Indiana, all she claimed
under it, until the passage of the joint reso-
luton of Congress, under date of March 3,
lS45. since which the Sl06,66l 70, now in
question, has accrued, and which, under the
joint resolution of Congress, has been retained
and carried into the treasury and applied to
the payment of the interest on certain Indi-
ana State bonds, held by the United States,
against which Indiana protests and contends
it must be paid over in order that the Legis-
lature may apply it to roads and canals in ac-
cordance with the stipulations of the act of
April 10, 1916.
If it were pact or agreement between in
dividuals or between independent nations,
might be withheld for sufficient
cause, and the obligation Of the United States
to Indiana, in this case, cannot be more obi |
yatory than would be similar pact or agree
ment between individuals, or between indie
pendent nations In this case the United |
States holds certain bonds of the State of In
diana in trust for the Chickasaw Indians. in
Weekly Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1853-1861, 1855-07-12

terest accruing scmi-annually, and which in
terest fails to be paid, and, in consequence
thereof, Congress passed the joint resolution
of March 3, 1845, and withholds the per
cent arising under said pact or agreement
and applies it towards the interest on her
bonds held by the United States.
1t seems to the undersigned that the obi
CATION of Indiana, under her broad seal, to
pay the interest on said bonds. is just as bind
ing as the obligation Of the United States to |
pay the 5 per cent. fund. Between indiyidu-
ais and independents nations, this would not
be deemed a wrong hut simply remedy for
right withheld; but with desire the bet
ter to comprehend the real merits Of this
question, and ascertain for what purpose In
diana Issued those bonds, the documents,
presented by you, were referred to the first
Comptroller of the treasury, copy of whose
report accompanies this-You will see that
he reports the proceeds of these bonds were
advanced by the State of Indiana, and APP
| piled to the construction of railroad from
Cincinnati to indianapolis, the Capitol of the
State, and for the proceeds so advanced, the
State of Indiana took certain bonds and mort
cages from the Railroad Company, which
she may still hold, and the interest of which
she is or may be receiving. If this is really
so, then the principal of these bonds was APP
piled to the construction of road within the
State of Indiana, the benefits of which the
people of the State are enjoying. and the APP
plication of the per cent fund to the pay
ment of interest on these bonds is substsn-
tally in accordance with the principles of
the pact or agreement and constitutes an adj
ditional justification Of the joint resolution Of
| Congress.
| have been led TO this view of the case in
order that your Legislature may see that
Congress did not pass the joint resolution
without just cause. The joint resolution was
carried out by my predecessors. and has been
carried out by the undersigned. The United
States, party to this pact or agreement, has,
ly solemn resolution, directed her officials to
withhold the furd and apply it to interest
which Indiana fails to pay. / deem that res
i olution binding on the secretary of the treas
ury, who cannot apply dollar that is in the
United States Treasury without the war
rant of an appropriation by Act of Congress
and must consider it my duty TO continue
to obey said resolution until Congress directs
the per cent. to be paid over to the State Of
Indiana. In other words. the power to CON-
ply with that pact or agreement is with the
United States by appropriate laws, and not
with the Secretary of the Treasury.
| have the honor to be,
Very respectfully.

Secretary Of the Treasury.

ernor OF Indiana.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, INDIANA,

INDIANAPOLIS, June 30th, 1856. (
Hon. JAMES GUTHRIE, Secretary Of the TSeas1r,.
SIR:-Yours Of the 10th inst, with your
opinion upon the subject of the three per
cent fund due the State of Indiana, and the
views Of the Hon. ELISHA WnTTLEsEY, the
first Comptroller of the Treasury, are before
me- They have been carefully examined
The Comptroller has entirely misconceived
the question arising upon the legislation of
the State. The whole series Of legislation
has been the same relative TO this fund, as
stated in my remarks, from the year 1918,
until the passage of the Act of 1852, referred
to- the law that is now in force upon this SUBJ
ject
1t is, to say the least of it, very singular
construction of the 9th section of the Act of
Congress of 1916, to state that the building Of
the Lawrenceburgh and indianapolis Rail
Road, is compliance with the spirit and
language of the agreement upon the part Of
the Government
That road was built by Company, is now
owned by Corporation, and the State has
no interest whatever, in that road, and never
loaned bond to the Company that built it.
Believing that it is not within the power of
Congress to divert this fund, and that the au-
thorities cited and relied upon, fully sustain
the view | have taken of this question,
most respectfully request that the whole case
with the papers, briefs, laws. and authorities
be presented to the President for examine
ination and decision.
The question is ole of importance to the
people of Indiana and think it is due to
them, that the subject should receive the
consideration Of the legal Officer, the Attor-
ney General of the United States, which il is
most likely it will when presented to the
President
/ have the honor to be.
Yours, most Respectfully,
i JOSEPH A. WRIGHT.

Rippine out a Plank.

The Richmond Enquirer gives a list of
few of the Northern papers which repudiate
the platform:
With scarcely an exception, the Wing and
Know Nothing press of Pennsylvania oppose
the 18th article of the Know Nothing plat
form, which was manufactured for the South

Reporter, Washington Commonwealth, Carlisle

ican, all come out fat-footed against the plat
form and its slavery plank. The following
from The Butler american, will give our
readers an idea of the manner in which the
platform is received by the Know Nothings
of Pennsylvania:
"We have heard but one expression among
all parties in relation to the adoption of the
platform IN the Convention a. PHILADELPHIA.

their integrity yet, not content again to bow
the knee Of Baal, and lick the hand so used
to smite. Only one State has descended, in
her representatives, to the slough, and the
voices of tens of thousands of her citizens
unite in derision and disgust at such base
ness. New York will never endorse her
Mallory, were he to shrek his contempt Of

"The attempt TO choke off the slavery
question failed ANONYMOUSLY, as it ought
Honorable men Of the South scoffed at the
idea of asking the North to endorse the dele
CATION of the Missouri Compromise line. and
denounced it as an outrage; while the poor
tools Of New York met only with unmeasured
contempt from those whom they had striven
to serve. as well as from the friends Of liberty
and Northern rights. The issue is now fairly
made. Milk and water will no longer do"
With mass Of such evidence as this daily
before them, the reckless Know Nothing
press have the hardihood to call the resolves
adopted by portion of the late Philadelphia
Convention the National platform of their
party. The mass of Know Nothings repudi-
ate and spit upon this platform.

MONDAY MORNING. JULY 9, 1855.
,ov. wrieht's visit to Washington.

Gov wright's Visit to Washington.
We present, our readers this morning, the
decision of the Secretary, of the Treasury,
upon the subject of the Three Per Cent
Fund due the State, together with the briefs
and argument of the Governor We are glad
that the Governor has asked the opinion of
the President upon this question. In this
wav we will doubtless obtain the opinion OF
the Attorney General of the United States.
The question is an important one to the
people of the State, and we agree with the
Secretary of the Treasury, that the argument
of Governor WRIGHT is able, and with all
due respect, not very easy to answer satisfac-
torily.
We learn from Gov WRIGHT, that, IN re-
lation TO the public arms, he has had forward
ed to the Quarter Master General at this place,
who is now receiving them, four six pound
bronze cannon, mounted complete; two hun
bred Rifles with appropriate accoutrements
two hundred sets of Cavalry accoutrements
and five hundred and forty Muskets with ac-
coutrements. The arms are in the very bes
order, and will be distributed by the Quarte
Master General in connection with those nov
on hand, and formerly sent to the counties. St
as to equalize the same to the different coun
ties according to population.
We are also advised by the Governor, tina
the final returns having been made to tn
Land Office, of the selections and saes g
Swamp Lands in the State, the general Lam
Office has settled the principle upon the Who'll
of the questions between the General Gov
eminent and the State, and so soon as tn
Department can finish the comparisons an
make the corrections, the State will receiv
the amount due her for moneys received b
the Government and Scrip to enter land
lieu of Military warrants for lands sold. TIL
amount of money coming to the State, will
about thirty thousand dollars, and Scrip
enter lands, about ten thousand acres.
