Interest on the State Debt.

A dispatch from Governor Morton at
New Y ork yesterday announces that he
has completed negotiations with " ms
low. Lanier l. Co for the payment of the
installment of interest on the State debt
falling due next July, SO that there will
be no failure or delay in meeting the OBJ
legations of the State. This third sue
cess of the Governor in thwarting the
Copperhead conspiracy to force the State
into Reputation, will. We think. settle
effectually the policy of honest dealing.
The Supreme Court may qulbble, and
the State officers stultify themselves, to
interpose laws, which they themselves
disregard every day, between the State
and her solemn obligations, but when
these obligations are met time and again,
in spite of them, they may learn that
swindling is not easy or dishonor prohta-
BILE, and acquiesce. If they don't it is
no matter The people will approve
what's right, and those who oppose will
only fall upon rock to their own undo
ing. The history of rascality has never
in any age recorded more hagiuous
case than this attempt of q parcel of par
tisans to force the State into repudia-
tion-The laws which they themselves
repeatedly approved and acted on, war
ranted the payment of interest on our
debt without any special appropriation.
The States contract with her creditors
was held to be a continuing appropria-
ton, of itself comforting ample authority
to make payments. Governor Willard
so held it, and the Supreme Judges APP
proved. He not only paid the interest
without an appropriation, but he borrow
ed money to do it. Now when the Treasu-
ry is bursting with money, these same
men declare that no payment can be
made without an appropriation, in other
words that the State can't keep her prom
ise without making it over twice a year.
That the pretense was insincere, fraudu-
lent, scandalous, is seen in the fact that
these men who refuse to pay the interest
on the debt without an appropriation are
constantly paying claims to partisans
without any appropriation, or any pre-
tense of it.-They won't take money to
pay what the State has bound herself to
pay, but they take it by thousands to pay
for printing which no law has authorized
and no money been appropriated for.
Not only that but they take immense sums
to redeem the very bonds which they de-
clare they are not allowed to pay inter
est upon. though they are not due, and
won't be for some years. If any con-
duct more shamefully inconsistent, more
boldly dishonest, than this can be found
since the days when the pimps Of Charles
the Second plundered his people, we
have not heard of it. And yet the organ
of this clique of repudiators denounces
Gov. Morton for preventing their vilIainy
from running our credit! Imagine a
thief abusing the policeman who had
caught him with his hand in somebody's
pocket and stopped the theft.-Lnaianap-
oils State journal.

A BIT OF RoMANCE.-1t might well be
supposed that in these latter days of in
sense activity in all departments of hu-
man industry, when the time, talents and
energies of nearly every one are devoted
to money getting, the romantic would
stand very poor show. But have a
case in point which goes to prove that
the davs of romance are not over. but that
the sentiment still exists, even among
our own practical, go ahead people. 1t

A .sBIG THING''-All the Chief Cities
of the North to be Burned by the Rebels.
The rebels are inclined to improve
upon the dastardly and murderous means
heretofore relied upon by them for carry
ing out their wicked intentions against
the Union. They have before threatened,
in case of disaster. to raise the black flag
and give no quarter, and now they have
hit upon another beautiful programme
Here it is from q late number of the
Richmond Whig.
wv may not, it is true, be able to
send raiding party to dash into Phila-
delphia or New York to do the work nor
have we artillery that will carry Greek
fire far enough to reach them-but we
have that which will go further than horse
men can ride, and will penetrate what the
mightiest artillery would make no inn
preston on-we have money 4 million
Of dollars ,oould lay IN ashes New York.
Boston, PHILADELPHIA, Chicago, Pias5urg,
Washington, and ell their cher cities, and
the men to do the business may be picked up
By the hundreds IN the streets Of those uery
cities. If it should be thought unsafe to
use them, there are daring men in Cana
da, of Morgan's and other commands,
who have escaped from Yankee dungeons,
and who would rejoice at an opportunity
of doing something that would make all
Yankeedom howl with anguish and con-
sternation.
That what we are saying may be given
a still more practical turn, and we will
add that we know and have talked with
mana well known officer in the army.
and every way competent and tit-who is
ready and anxious to proceed to Canada
on this business. He knows the risks he
will encounter, but he is sure of the re-
suits that will be achieved. We have
addressed ourselves to the authorities of
the Government, because we feel not
shadow of doubt that this mode of war
fare would. under the circumstances. be
justitiable, legitimate and right
But should they reject the plan, as we
suppose they would, then we wish to re-
mind the public that the scheme can as
well be executed by private enterprise
as by the direction or connivance of the
authorities Richmond, for whom such
fate was designed, Charleston every
day Witnessing the disposition of the
enemy in this regard, and hourly experi-
encing the hazards of having their rur-
poses achieved, could easily raise the
money needed for the accomplishment of
the design Money will supply the men.
and they. properly organized and direct
ed, would easily and certainly do the
work.

Abstract Of the Major Generals Report

As the length of a certain Major @ en-
erals report canno. fail to oprevent it from
being so extensively read as it deserves,
We give brief abstract of its spirit and
contents, original and documentary:
General Order; No. Let the army
and navy of the United States be placed
under nv exclusive command. Let there
be one General, and let me be that one.
The President of the United States, the
members of his Cabinet, the General in
Chief, and the Governors of the several
States not belonging to the Confederacy,
will report to me at once. All military
rivals and competitors will be crushed
with an iron hand.
BY order of :.
LITTLE Mac, Maj. Gen.
General Order, No. al, the General
Commanding, have the honor to announce
to the country that am not afraid of any
thing NY heart is insensible to fear
These headquarters will follow our brave
troops into every battle, and will go before
them to guide them in every retreat. l
must remind the country, however, that
I called for - Is 900, and the President has
furnished me but 274,375. Under these
circumstances. will fight with the sagac
ity Of Napoleon, the courage of Ney. and
the intrepidity of Murat. But let the
people prepare for defeat The Presi-
dent has done his best to ruin this army
by Withholding the Squsshville Cadets
and recalling the Bungtown Guards.
By order of the Maj. Gen.
General Order, No 3.-We are all
licked. It's just as / said. / warned
the President that with the Squashville
Cadets and the Bungtown Guards we
should greatly outnumber the enemy,
but without them the enemy had greatly
superior numbers. The President seems
to be entirely ignorant of the fact that a
sufficient number of installments of TO-
600 men each, coming in the nick of time,
would have whipped the enemy; and l
might have followed my army into Rich
mond instead of preceding them to Har
rison's Landing. I exhibited unexam-
pied bravery There were at sometimes
hardly fifty thousand men between me
and the part of the army were the fight
ing was actually going on. And yet there
are those base enough to suggest that /
should have risked my own safety still
further by sending into action over 50,-
600 of my personal body guard. To such
suggestions it is sufficient to say that they
were withheld.

to Scranton. But will have a book writ

Official Report and in it 1 shall prove
that had it not been for the wisdom of
the President, I should have utterly ami

friends will assume that it proves that

Ayers Sarsaparilla

is compounded from the most eftectual anil
dotes that medical science has discovered ior
this affecting distcmpcr, and for the cure oil me
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
WHO have given it II trial. That 1t docs com
binc virtues truly extraordinary in Their erect
upon this class Of complaints, is indisputabiy
proven by the great multitude OF publicly
known and remarkable cures 1t has madc OF
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery-
sipelas, Rose or St. Anthonys Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tll-
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood Minute reports OF individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC. which is furnished to the druggists
for rratutous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some ct
the remarkable cures which it has made when
nil other remedies had failed to afford relief
Those cases are purposely taken from all sec
tons of tke country, in order that every reader
NAV have access to some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject TO disease
and its fatal results than are healthy consttu-
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration OF human
life. The vast importance of these consldera-
tions has led us to spend years in pertecting
remedy which is adequate to its cure. lhls
VIC now offer to the public under the name of
Ayers SARsAPARILLA, although it is COM
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of .SlrSapariHd in Alternative power. BY
its aid YOU may protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger Of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and tester in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func-
tons, and thus expelS the distempers which
lurk within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of SarSoparala, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Ii, virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name it is n very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more cffectual than any other which has
ever been available to them.
