THE STATE LoAN.-We learn from
the Sentinel that the lawyers Of Eas-
tern capitalists have decided that the
loan cannot legally be taken under par,
and therefore substantially, that it can
not be taken at all, as the law stands,
and hence that another session Of the
Legislature may be necessary to cor,

THE STATE LoAN.-'rhe arrival of
| Treasurer Hastings at Madison, from
New York, confirms what we stated a
few days since, with reference to the
State Loan. The interests on the
bonds is By the la y limited to six per
cent, and the New 7 ork lawyers hold,
if the bonds should be purchased at less
than par, it would substantially In
crease the rate OF interest; and there
fore the transaction would be Illegal
This is q very nice discovery, but we
think with the State Journal that cit
| is just possible that the experience of
the New York capitalists in Western
municipal and railroad bonds and farm
mortgages has made them preternatur-
| ally smart" And We have the fur
Their opinion, that in view Of their ex-
perience Of the disposition of our pco-
| pie to abide by what is only S'nomina-
ted in the bond"--that is what can be
legally entorced-they are not any too
smart for their own interests. The
Journal further adds: at NAV be
that another extra session Of the Leg
isl allure will be required to obviate the
difficulty, but an effort will first be
made to ascertain if some Of our home
capitalists VIII afford the desired re-
lief" The prospect Of our home cap
ltalists investing in what is condemned
IN New York, is not very flattering in
our view. The extra session, we APP
prehend, will have to be restored to-
The New York capitalists and lawyers
can have the satisfaction Of causing us
some expense and trouble, at least, IN
less our own capitalists will come pat
riotically forward, and deprive them
