New York, Oct 8. lS86.-All day yester-

were besieged by parties anxious to enter in
to the service of the Mexican republic. A
deputation of German and Hungarian officers
who had served in the late war against the
rebels waited upon Santa Anna yesterday and

Among the extraVaganees charged to
the account of the late session of the
Legislature BY the fault76nding De mos
cratic journals, are the APPROPRIATIONS
made to the State prisons. Such appro-
priat;ons are the last things of which
Democrats should complain, but as they
are so unreasonable as to do so, we think
q few words of explanation are due the
s a xEv " 81
The Northern prison at Michigan City
is Q legacy left by the Democratic Off
cials to their successors. The erection
OF the buildings was commenced during
Gov. Wizards administration, and have
progressed sinca-as rapidly as the appro-
pristions made for that purpose would
justify The convicts are hired by the
contractor, and their wages credited to
the construction account, al price. twice
as high as are paid for the labor of the
convicts in the Southern prison, whose.
labor was farmed ont for q series Of
years-not yet expired-by the late
Democratic Board Of Directors at price
which is inadequate to pay the cost of
their food Consequently, that. prison
which, under proper management, ought
to be self sustaining, is constant bur-
den to the treasury. The improyident
contracts made blythe Democratic on I
cials will soon begin toexpire, when The
convicts can be employed at wages that
will compensate FOX. their expenses. : 81
At the extra session an appropriation
was asked for of $18, 600 to make repairs
and improvements at the Southern pris-
on, and pay it's indebtedness. The ap-
preparation was earnestly pressed by the 4
Democratic representative from Clarke,
Mr.. Howard, and was opposed By many
Of the Union members, on the ground
that all the appropriations asked for 1865

The Bulletin, of Memphis, Tsnnes-
See, makes the following sensible re-
marks:
I Whatever may have been the advan-
tages to individuals of African slavery,
1t would be dificucult to discover its
benefactions to States and communities.
Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky and
North Carolina have contributed ten
citizens. 10 Northwestern States for each
one given to slaveholding comm unities.
The Northwest, aside from European
emigrants, is mainly populated with cit
-izens from the middle Southern States.
This was not because lands Of the Gulf
States were less productive, or the eli
mate less salubrious, but because negro
| industry came ia competition with that
of whisess Protested by law, the blacks
de6ed competition in their peculiar
fields OF employment The system of
servitude destroyed, white energy comes
in fair competition with that OF the ne
gro, and we shall soon see the result
The South will be richer than ever be-
fore, and no power less than that of
Deity, can prevent the gradual removal
of the blacks. Their ultimate destiny is
that of the red man ri @R
We do not believe that Southern ne
groes will share at once the fortunes OF
those, of the West Indies. Southern
blacks are more intelligent; they have
BEEN more intimately associated with
former masters; they are more intellec-
tual than blacks of Hayti and San Do
mingo; they have been instructed, ev-
erywhere in the South, in the simple te-
nets of Christian faith. Many of them,
for these reasons, may become useful
industrious, and valuable members OIL
society; but the great mass of negroes
are incapable of the taskof competition
now forced upon them, and their future
fate cannot be mistaken.

the late Democratic warden, Ms. MiIlera
had reported the indektedness. at that
time near 5000 less than it was, and
that when he was turned out of Office on
the lat of June last, he had expended
all the appropriation for 1855, except
81 1886. As it was impossible tojrun thel
prison for seven months with that
amount Of money, the directors were
compelled to 20 in debt 4 In addition to
this, the old officers had suffered the
buildings, drains, sewers, eisterns and
everything else about the prison to get
SO out of repair that an expenditure
of several thousand dollars for repairs
was absolutely necessary Under these
circumstances there was no help for it,
the appropriation had to be made, or the
/ prison could not be continued; and it

First. g Are the safe and other firni-
ture connected with the Banking Horse
of the First National Bank, at Green
castle, Indiana, subject to taxation by
State Authority7"
The property referred to isiocal in it's
character, owned add controlled by the,

private gain, aud 10 nos exempt from the
burdens common 10 other property,
and is subject to taxation for State,
County and Municipal purposes.
Second. I" Are stockholders of the
bank liable for taxes against them on
their shares or certificates Of stock in
said institution 2'I ~ 80
The corporation sand the individual
stockholdersain such corporation, are
distinct aud separate in their rights and
obligations. One artificial, the other
naturals each is capable of holding, con-,
trolling, and transmitting property inde-
pendent Of the other.
f The capital stock of the corporation.
consisting as it does of lGoveFnmenls
bonds, or the securities of the public
debt, is exempt from taxation. This
exemption is by direct provision of
statnte-the acts of Congress creating
the public debt--and the principle has
been maintained by the Federal Courts
FROM the formation of the Government. J
These bonds or securities are owned aud
controlled by the corporation, or Tank;
and when Deposited with the Secretary
of the Treasury, are held sacred to the
object for which they were deposited.
But certificates of stock in such insfitu-
ltions, are the private individual property
of the owner, evidences of private
wealth in the hands of the stockholder,
controlled by him, and disposed of as
other property. This class of property
is not exempt from taxation, but Is la
bile to be taxed a. other property in the
hands of the holder.
