Indiana state Debt.

The deb, of this State is now stated to bs
eleven millions four hundred thousand dol
lars. There must have been some myste-
rious increase Of the debt recently that the
people have not been aware Of. The debt
now seems to be nearly as large as it was
when the Butler bill arrangement was made,
by " hich one halt the debt was liquidated
When that arrangement was made, the debt
was reduced to something less than seven
millions, and it has been understood that
taxes have since been raised to pay the in
terest on the debt and meet the ordinary
expenses Of the Government. The present
Constitution prohibits the Legislature from
mourning any debt. excep. TO meet casual
