pa The independent anti-Lccompton
Democrats will hold the balance of power in
the next Congress. They will have, virtual
ly, the power to determine the character Of
Congressional Legislation, after the present
year, and may perhaps have the controlling
vote in the election of the President should
the choice devolve upon the House. Let
this District add an able, energetic, fearless
and true man to the band that will have 20
important an influence upon the future
policy and interests of the country. Spare
Us from the degradation of sending q sub

HS- The State Sentinel cites the follow
ing clause of the law authorizing the State
officers to make temporary loans to pay the
interest on the State bonds, rs full justifica-
ton for the use of the sinking fund to, meet
the July interest on the State debt. The
authority seems to be full warrant for the
oct. The law is as follows: sv-t -
The Governor, Auditor and Treasurer OF
the State are hereby authorized to procure
a temporary loan Of money, sufficient in
amount to meet the deficiency in the Treas
ury, should any such occur, to pay the semi
annual dividends of interest on the State
debt
Our remarks upon the present state OF
tho Treasury were upon statements from
what we supposed to be well informed
source at indianapolis. We did not write
any thing about "Trust Bonds manu-
script was Trust Funds We are glad to
hear from the Sentinel that the revenue
from the tax levied in 1856, and the delin-
ouencies of that and previous years has
been sufficient TO meet all the current ex-
penses of the State Government, and no
money has been raised in any other way
for these purposes by the State officers, and
no money has been borrowed, except to pay
the July interest. "And we are still more
grati6ed to hear that the State officers have
not only administered their duties faithfully,
but within the power conferred upon them
by the constitutional laws" for which we
are ready to award them due credit, and
take pleasure in making the amends for any
injustice we have done them. The judi
cious and able Administration of our State
affairs is matter of deep interest and
ought to be subject Of pride to every citi-
zen, whether political friends or opponents
have the administration of them -e

The Causes OF the Panic In 1857.

The Causes OF the Panic In 1907
The British Parliament appointed COM
.mittee sone months since tofnvostigate and
report the causes of the panic Of last year.
Their report is Published in = recent number
of the London Times. The Philadelphia
Press says: ---------------,
The array offacts it presents, furnish to
the historian abundant materials for the
financial history ofthe past year, and throw
great light upon the extent Of the business
operations Of Great Britain, and the manner
in which they are conducted. = JZnl
The increase of the foreign trade of Great
Britain, during the last ten years, has been
as marked Is our own. Previous to lS4S,
her exports had never exceeded $500, 5oO,-
600, while in 1857 they reached $4,000
o00 The net increase Of the European
stock Of bullion from 1851 to 1851, Is esti-
mated at about S403, 500, 900. The total
gold circulation of Great Britain is estima-
ted at $3.50, 0oo, 900, and OF paper money
Sl5S, OOO, 900.
As in the United States shortly before
the crisis, vast sums of money found their
way into the hands of bill-brokers for the
notes, sc. One broker is known to have
had $50, 900, 900 for this purpose; the COM
m,ttee believe another had $4,000, 900, and
another $50, 00o, 900; one had 10000, 900,
another 1880, 900, and another above
$40, 10000
Thus, three important circumstances dis
tinguish the financial history of the ten
years preceding 1857 l, An unprecedent-
ed extension of foreign trade. 2, A great
zHA ..lt lin
ton Of money IN the hands Of brokers and
bankers. .....-..... I'D.
The first impetus to the English difficult
ties was given by the tidings from America,
in September, 1857, the trade Of Great Brit
ain having been generally considered to he
in q healthy state up to that time. The
British produce exported to this country il
1856 was valued at Sl09, 500, 900, and the
amount of securities held by English CAPT
talists in America was estimated at $500,
O00,0 900, and the extensive business cOnnec
ton thus existing between the two countrie:
naturally created great alarm in England
House after house gave way. The Bank o
England began to be looked to as the only
safe refuge from the impending Storm, Tht
rate of interest was rapidly raised from 5.

The conclusion arrived at by the commit
tee is as follows:
"Your committee have stated the reason
by which it is established, To their satsfac
ton, that the recent commercial crisis il
this country, as well as in America and il
the north of Europe, was mainly owing 4
excessive speculation and abuse of credit
and also, that in the time of pressure III
houses which deserved assistance received j
from the Bank of England in manner il
which that establishment would not hav
been able 10 give it, except for the bullioi
retained in their Golfers.

a SPANISH BANDIT KILLED.-A letter

a SPASISu DASUiI hiLLLu.-A iSeeei
from Seville, in Spain, says:
"The famous Andalusian bandit, sknown
BY the nickname of Muselina Of whose ex-
PLOTS every traveller In the South of Spain
has heard, has just terminated his career in
q very characteristic manner. During the
last month the police and soldiers have
been upon his trail, but his wonderful power
of Disgusting himself and his numberies
hiding places, afforded him the means OF
eluding them and committing fresh crimes.
But his time had come. He was recently
traced to his birthplace, at Estepa, where
he had retired with the booty he collected
in the neighboring province of Cordova.
On the morning of the 7th of August, a de-
tachment of the civil guard, the gendarmerie
of Spain, searched the bandits and sew
eral other houses, in that village, bat with
out success.
A spy of his, who had been bought over
by the authorities, insisted, however, that
he must be in the place, and accordingly
the officer in command Of the guard, Don
Francisco Labena, sent away all his men
except four, and resolved to make new
search of the bandits house from garrett to
cellar. Leaving two of his guards at the
front door and two in the yard, the officer
entered, and finding female who resided
with Muselina, he requested her to show
him through the house, which she did with
a politeneas that BODIED no good.
On arriving at a low, windowless room
on the ground floor, he went in alone. The
door was Immediately shut from within,
and pistol discharged at him. Fortunate
ly, his face was merely singed, and he fired
in his turn, but without effect. A desper-
ate fight then took place in the dark, the Of
icer and his victim striking at each other
at random. In the meantime, the guards
made violent efforts 70 break down the door,
which they did very OPPORTUNITY, Don Fran
cisco having already been wounded. The
bandit then sprang upon one of the guard:
with his dagger, and severely wounded him
after which the brigand himself was killed
Tho news of the bandit death has occa
stoned no small JOY, as he has long been the
terror of the province of Cordova.
