A Good Suggestion.

Many citizens have suggested the ex-
pediency and propriety Of the City Couu-
Gil issuing its orders on the Treasurer in
the sums Of five and ten dollars or even
Of lower Observation-Disclosures Of Civ
ing them for the sgtregats sdm to be
paid each individual. It would be rs &C.
ceptable to the creditors Of the city to
receive the sums due them in several
small orders-which would answer the
wants Of small tax payers-as to receive
it in ono order. The small orders would
pass into general circulation, and give US
. good local currency for domestic pur.
poses, while such . use Of them would
appreciate their current value. A friend
tells a that he finds county and town
ship orders the best currency to take to
market to secure his family supplies
The city orders ought to have equal
credit and currency, and il the City Clerk
and Mayor, with the sanction Of the
Council, will divide the city orders into
such sums, Is those who receive them,
may desire. We think they would have
An a6tive and general circulation among
our own citizens. They would pass more
freely than Illinois and Tennessee bank
notes.

- Mr.. Champion, the former British

try, vents his i'll feelings against America
upon Mr.. Dallas as its representative in En-

has avoided Mr.. Dallas, notwithstanding the

was walking the street in company with @

Auditors Report upon the Free
Banks

Banks.
The State Auditor has thought proper
to publish . special report upon the con-
dition Of the Free Banks, to remove any |
doubts the people may have of the secu-
rity Of their circulation. The amount Of
the securities is estimated at the market
price Of them ct the date of the Report.
Since then there has been an advance of
nearly 10 per cent on all the stocks,
making the amount of securities now
from 10 to 20 per cent more than the
bills in circulation. In these times our
Free Bank notes are the safest medium
We can have.
OFFICE or AUDITOR or STATE, INDiANA,l
Bank Department, indianapolis, Oct Is, ls57.S
EDITOR DAILY JouRNAL:-Since the publi-
cation Of the usual monthly statement Of the
condition of the Free Banks of this State, on
the LIST Of October, the depreciation Of State
stocks has been SO great that Banks have
been called upon for additional securities, to
which they have responded in prompt and
satisfactory manner. Below please find q
statement of the present circulation and value
Of securities this day, in which the different
State stocks are valued at prices they will
now command. 1t will be seen from this
statement that even at the present low prices
of stocks, the Banks have q margin Of from
to 10 per cent above thoir circulation, which
with accruing interest, it is believed will be
more than equal to any future depreciation.
The publication of this statement seems to
be demanded. In the present excited state
Of public feeling, but little confidence is felt
| in q paper dollar, unless there is something
behind its mere promise to pay which is real,
and which the public believe will be applied
to its redemption. Next to the ability to pay
specie OF demand, the possession of securities
which are readily convertible, is the best Sc
eurity.
The statement below shows tina. twenty
two of the Free Banks have responded to the
call from this Department. The securities OF
these Banks are lodged with the Treasurer OF
State, and the public need no assurance that
they will not be given up without surren-
der Of the notes for which they are pledged
These securities are safe from burglars and
borrowers, and cannot become inadequate to
the redemption Of the money without an ut
ter prostration Of State credit, and o general
failure to pay interest. The notes of these
Banks will be received for State dues. and
the State Treasurer will recommend that they
be received for all taxes.
A general knowledge Of the condition o.
these banks, which can be diffused through
out the State by the press, will protect oul
citizens from loss through idle rumors affect.

The RAILROAD CONVENTION 1t Cleve-
land last week was attended BY delegates
from nearly every Railroad West Of the
Mountains. Several measures were
adopted to suppress the ruinous compe-
tition::of rival lines. Western roads are
to be allowed to maintain one agency in
each of the Eastern cities, but the sole.
iting for freight and passengers is to be
confined strictly within the agents Office.
No company shall issue any bill or post
or, but such IS shall be put up perma.
nently in frame, and the bill or poster
shall contain nothing but the exact
truth in regard to the distan :es and time
of running, and shall make no invidious
references or misstatements in regard to
other lines. No passes to be issued to
any persons but to the principal officers
of Railroads and to Editors living in the
counties through which road may run
No commissions nor deductions shall be
allowed for procuring freight. 1t was
resolved that the rates Of freight shall be
raised; that the same shall not b less
than ~ cents per ton per mile, on the
lowest class of freights-that the elias.
s:6cation now in use be continued
These charges for freight will preclude
the transportation Of grain, -four and pork
from the interior Of Indiana to any oil
the Atlantic cities BY Railroad. These
articles and all the heavy products Of
the soil must seek water carriage.
