hundred Thousand dollars or moro of the Illinois
8tats bonda belonging Ia this bank, and depos-
tied with The Auditor, had been discovered 10
be eounterfsit We did not refer to these Re.
ports yesterday morning. for the reason that
private dispatches from Springfield assured us
the bank was good. and VIC preferred to wait till
all the facts were received, supposipg that par.
tial statement might unnecessarily a1arm tte
public. The following dispatch from Hon. Ii.

We learn ,hat the bonds unon which the cir.
culstion Of this Bsnk res.s, have present value
Of $764, 900 and upwards to secure about $685.
900 Of circulation. The amount Of tho bonds
issued upon the forged checks referred to, is
$1,000, This will leave deficit Of $4,000,
which is more than made good By the interest
on the bonds and other resources Of the Bank.
Tae whole matter AZ 10 how these forged bonds
or checks came to be in existence and to be
where they arc, IL under investigation by CON-
mittse Of the Senste. Tho matter is also re-
