A word 10 the Republican Mem.
oers OF the next Leg isIature,
One important duty incumbent on the
Legislature this winter, will be to deter
mine precisely the States indebtness. From
ali the informstion We can gather from re-
ports of State officers and otherwise. this
is somewhat difficult matter. How much
does Indiana owe. is a question to which
we direct the special attention of the Re
publican members Of our Legislature. To
determine this, a thorough and complete
examination of the Agents of States office
and books in the city Of New York, is 10.
depensable necessary This office has been
iuthe hands Of the Democratic party al.
most since it was established under the
Butler bill, and it has been used mainly
to enrich the incumbent, or assist ONE
banking institution of this or some other
State. The real and direct interest of the
State has in many respects beer overlook
ed, and we understand that it is now ex-
ceediDgly difficult 10 tell what is the con
dition of cur affairs, so far as this agency
is concerned. We hope the Legislature
will devise some means by which the flo.
ures in this Office will be accurately added /,
and its exact condition ascertained. Be
fore it ever goes iEto the hands Of the Re.
publican party, this thorough examination
should be made. Aud We hope the Of
fees of Auditor, Secretary and Treasurer
of State, will undergo this careful and rig
i'd examination. Let the people know, to
a farthiDg, what is the financial condition
Of Indiana whe its management passes
into the hands Of the Republican party.
Let the books be mode up, the balance
sheet exhibited, and every thing squared.
As data to commence work on, we ask
the members of the Legislature to enquire,
why it is, that the interest on our public
debt in ls47. was SITS, 6O0-that in ls4s,
it was 5lS3, 74O-n ls49, sl68 ,344, and that
it increased rapidly up to 1854, when the
interest on our public debt was 1898 ,255-
56-in 1855, it was 5000, 500 l4-in 1856, it
was 1910, GA "a, and in 1857, it reached the
sum of s31s. 027 n cents-what it will be
in 1860 it is somewhat difficult to guess.
We ask the Legislature to enquire into
this matter.
How is it that the interest which we an
nually pay on our public debt, has increas-
ed so rapidly? The constitution express
ly declars that the State debt shall not be
increased except in cases of war. There
has been DO war in which Indiana has
been engaged that we know OF, except a
political war upon the class of men who
have brought these very things about.
Here, however, are few nuts for the
coming Legislature to crack, and We hope
| twill do it effectually.

GOVERNOR WRIGHT-From the Ber-
lin correspondence of the London
Daily Telegraph, we extract the fol-
lowing deserved compliment to Gov
ernor WRIGHT:
Among the daily visitors at Kroli's
there is one whose province, accor-
ding to European notions. would hard
ly seem to lie in the bucolic haunts of
men. Mr., Wright the Ambassador
of the United States, acting as the true
representative of a people, and leaving
the play of diplomatic intrigue to his
more arIstocratic bethren of the old
continent, seems to have devoted all
his leisure for the last fortnight TO the
inspection and security of plows, ma
nure, soils, corn, figs, apples, and all
the cereal members of Natures family.
The honorable Ambassador, who has
now passed three years in this capital.
has been always conspicuous for TAX
ing greater interests in the furrow of
the plow than in the finest stroke Of
diplomacy. Mr.: Wright, though, for
tunately for the people he represents,
not frequently mentioned in the des-
patches of Continental Ministers, is a
writer of eminence on AGRICULTURAL
topics in his own country, as well as
the disseminator of the American
mode of farming in land apparently
very unlike the virgin soil Of his "a.
tive home OF the reports of the
American Patent Office | hear that
there are hundreds distributed through
his rgency, and i doubt not but that
a benefcent effect will result from his
well iutentioned labors.

ILLINOIS BANK NorE REDEMPTION

ILLINOIS BANK NorE REDEMPTION
IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Supreme
Court of Illinois has decided that
banks are required to redeem their
notes, in whole packages as presented,
and that redeeming one note at time
is equivalent TO a refusal ; and that on
the failure to redeem a package and
protest, it is the duty of the Auditor
of State to wind up the bank and sell
the securities. This decision, it will
be perceived, makes it easier than
heretofore to deal with the Illinois
banks. The wildcats among them
will feel its effects; while those man
aged on correct principles, and located
where the business wants Of the
community demand them. will not be
affected.
