ed at the Exchange AMI Mercantile Bank
in Bangor, and the Canton Bank. Th

dorsed Daniel Deshon 1t is stat
that these endorsements were made q
Janesville, last fall, by son of Mr. Dc
shon, who imprudently attached his faith
er's name to several notes drawn BY Nj
Norri, - Boston Daily Adrertiser.
The Traveller gives the following par
ticuars -
a day or two since, director of tn
Canton Bank, Of Chiva, Ne, appa4res
in this city with a considerable quanti'
of paper signed 4. X. Norris Janesvilla
Wisconsin, and endorsed by Daniel De
shon mot Daniel Deshon u Som. Thi
paper he attempted to dispose Of for til,
relief of the bank, which is in trouble
He stated that This paper had come int
the possession Of the bank through Mr..
Norris, as security for stock which he
/ Norris, had purchased, in order to oh
tain controllin-, influence in the bank
Since this purchase a considerable IA
mount Of the bills Of the bank have been
taken to the West for circulation.
! y few days ago one Of the notes for
$40, 900 was shown to Mr.. Daniel De
shon, VIII, at once stated that the ell
dorsement was not his signature. It
turned ont TO be the signature of young
man by the name of Daniel Dcsholi, Jr.

financially responsible, was ind ctd 20

interested parties, who s>:I.l used it for
the purposes above stated, 1t WIS doubt
less the intention OF those VIII, issued
this paper. as they assert, to take it W
at maturity. had not accident brought 1t
prematurcly to hs.t.
The amount Of this peculiar paper, as
connected with the Canton Bank Is about
10000. 1t is rumored that there is
an additional amount IN connection with
the Exchange Bank Of Bangor, IA con-
trolling influence in which has been par
chased by Western men.
To a practical mind it would seem as
if the way to break up the tyranny of
this hierarchy the Mormon polyyamy
would be to subject it to the disinte 5rat-
ing influences of an elective system.
i =: Let us have faith in Democracy
and above all, let us not wipe the PROM
isc of ''reli.ious toler4tion' from our
cscuteheon at the first provocatIon of
crror-error 81 at as is. yet homegrown
and the fruit of our social and icll ,iots
systems.-A'ins and Argus.
An error of our social system is
Forgery. We know OF no Religion
which calls for liberation of that crime.
The marrying of more than one woman
at time Is felony. The Mormon Dem
ocrats name it religion. The Atlas
Democrats dcvoutiy cover it with the
mantle OF religious toleration.' They
might as well extend their rag over horse
theft anG arson.
Faith in Democracy" the cure of
Polvgamy in Utah when a State! The
territory iyalrea,ly Democratic. Polyg-
amy is couched upon Atlas Democracy
undefled. Simpo remedy. Economl-
cal craftsmanship! The penal code
should be abolished, and faith in the
thing which makes Slavery Exttntion-
lists in the South and Doushiaces in the
North, be substituted for district attor-
nies, judges and prisons. - albany Jour.
