State Bank Notes.

1t seems very probable that before long the
notes of all State Banks viii go out Of circu-
lation. The act Of Congress, Of March 3, d.
rects that they shall be taxed ten per cent. if
in circulation after the l5t of July next. 1t
is, therefore, necessary they should be re-
deemed before that time, and the national
banks, which must suffer the tax if they hold
the notes at the date mentioned, are relieving
themselves OF their liability by throwing out
the State bank notes, or by receiving them at
small discount, sufficient to pay for the cost
of-sending them home for redemption. This
action win soon hurry them out Of sight, and
there will be no currency in circulation but
greenbacks and the notes of the National
banks

Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1866-04-24
[From the Mac. a-cheek Press, Radical.l
Frauds by Officers.

Two lengthy communications have ap-
peared in the Cincinnati Commercial over the
signature of William Burnett, containing
grave charges Of fraud and corruption
against Major General Dana and General
Brayman, and sundry other officers.
We do not find that any action looking to
an investigation has been taken by our
Government, and the equestion presses itself
painfully upon the people, why not? Are
these fellows shielded by those higher in
authority, that no such action is h j?
We know Judge Burnet, and all acquaint.
ed with him will bear us out in stating that
his high-Coned integrity of character gives
great weight to these charges. This is not
all. We know that the Hon. A. w. Coan,
member of the Ohio House Of Representa-
tives, from Clermont county, gentleman
of unimpeachable integrity, is conversant
with the same facts almost charged by
Judge Burnet, and is prepared to offer
proof whenever the Government shall sig
nty its wishes in that direction.
The Union men of Ohio, as, indeed, the
Union party of the country, demand that
these frauds should be exposed and the
criminals punished. The Administration
owes it to itself to hunt up, expose and
punish at once. To let Dana and Brayman
escape an investigation is to lay the Gov
ernment open to the charge of winking at
the rascality charged.
If one-half charged by Burnet is true
and we have no doubt-Dana and Brayman
ought to be hung, and their ill-gotten gains
seized on and contiscated.
1t is time for the Government to be look
ing into the frauds and peculations OF its
agents. during the late Sebelion. 1t can
not 90 amiss. Whenever an officer is found
to have accumulated fortune on the mea-
ger pay legally due to him, he should be
taken by the throat and made disgOrge.-
We can point out a goodly number, run
ming from brother-in-law to Senators down
to Second Lieutenants. We are now groan-
ing under taxation to pay an indebtedness
one-fourth of which was made up by the
stealings OF these creatures.
We mark this subject Ito be continued" ;"

ARooIx for the Million.

We have received, with the compliments
of the Author, neatly printed little vol
ume ofJover one hundred pages, entitled
''KEY TO INTEREST" by Hon. U. G. RUTTER,
of Lancaster, the genial and industrious
Representative from Fairfield county. 1t
claims to be "a new, easy and infallible
system OF computing interest, on all sums,
and at any rate per cent. per annum, and
for any length of time, from one day to six
years, by a single multiplication" and
from the examination that we have given
it, we know it to be all it processes to be.

RUrrER's Book to public favor.

of that popular troupe. This celebrated
troupe was organized more than score OF
years ago, and its reputation is well estab-
lshed. The last visit of the company to
our city, some half dozen years ago, was
honored by large and delighted audi
ences at each evenings entertainment. 1t

ODerH House.

Owing to the unfSvorable weather, the audience
at the Opera House last night not so large as it
doubtless would otherwise have been. The appear
ance of Miss Emile Melville in her favorite charac-
ter of Fanchon the Cricket was greeted with rap
turous applause. Never did Fhe appear to better
advantage, or speak and act with moro animation
Her singing as well as her dancing was excellent,
She has evidently improved in her enunciaton and
in other respects since her last visit here and prom
ises to prove brilliant star. yt z y
The beautiful play Of Fanchon was very hand
somey rendered last evening in all its characters
and incidents. Mothers Fadet and Barbeaud had
two fine Representatives in Miss L. j. Phillips a d
Mrs. Bradshaw. The twin brothers and father
Barbeaud were we'll represented by Mes srs. J. W..
Garter, NJ. II. Rowland and Tyler. ,.,. a..
The plays selected for this evening will afford scope
for the display of Miss Melville's powers as a com
medienne and vocalist. They are the charming
comedy of the Little Treasure, in which Miss Mel
vile will appear as Gertrude and Jenny Lind in
which she will also appear as Jenny LcatherluDgS
with operatic airs. farce by the company will
close the entertainment
