Speaker of the Indiana Reuse OF Rep
FeSentatiVes.

The Legislature of the State con-
venes on the 7th prox.,. aud its near
approach is attracting the attention
of the press and members as to its or
ganization. The most prominent gen
tleman spoken of for Speaker Of the
House of Representatives is Judge
GEORGE A. BUsKIRK, of Monroe.
and the prospect is that he will be
chosen without much opposition.
Judge BUsKIRK is well fitted for tie
position, being sound lawyer, a good
judge of the character and capacity
of men, correct aud prompt IN the
comprehension of subiects, and Of
good administrative ability. His Sc
lection will be an assurance of de-
termination to accomplish business
on the part of the House. 1t is highly
important that the work of the Leg
islature be not clogged by sluggish and
inefficient officers as has been the
case at some of the sessions of that
BODY.

many years this city has held a pre-
eminence in the matter of public

years ago. The city schools under
the superintendency of Prof. Cow, are
said to be in very fourishing condi-

SSH Larger Amounts Borrowed nj
22 Per cent. Interest!
A Large Hole for Taxpayers to FIJI!

Yesterday we gave the details of the
plan by which Mr.. Lowry succeed
ed in getting his city orders cashed,
and how the cisy raised the money
with which to do it. This morning
we call attention to one or two other
interesting financial items to be found
in Mr.. Walkers reports.
The success with which Mr..
LOWRY secured the payment of
his bonds opened the eyes of the
home creditors of the city. Some
of them held its bonds which be-
came due last July. They were not
bonds obtained IN exchange for city
orders, but ctsh bonds, pledged
for work done at prices which
contemplated their prompt payment
When they became due, the holders
were requested to keep them until the
taxes were paid. Tax paying time
came, and then the Mayor fatty in
formed the holders Of these bonds
that they could not be paid. He had
no fears of the city going to protest
in this instance Not only did the
Mayor decline to pay the bonds, but
he actually refused to receive them
for taxes.
The very prompt payment of Mr..
LowRY's bonds-only due several
months after those held by other par
ties in the city-very naturally oc-
casioned a sensation among the home
bondholders, the payment of whose
bonds had been refused. They very
properly commenced making a noise.
limitations were freely thrown out
that all the city bonds due had
better be sent through Cincinnati
Banks for collection. In short, Mr..
LowRY's success disclosed a new
way of compelling the city to meet its
paper as it became due. His Honor
the Mayor seems also to have com
pretended the situation, and, conse-
quently, in his report, which we pub
lished yesterday, recommended. or
rather announced that he had au-
thorized, the same steps to be taken
to provide for the payment of the
bonds held by LIANT & BROTHERS as
had secured the payment of DIR. Low
RVS bonds. That is, that the city
issue ten per cent. preferred bonds,
payable IN one year. and sell them or
exchange them for the bonds of 1867
at the rate OF NINETY cents on the dollar.
This funding or exchanging six
per cent. bond for a bond virtually
bearing t'0snty-t'0o and a halt per
cent. interest Is, we venture to say, q

THE New Albany Ledger smells

made by parties who have been buy

celebrated Butler Bill, to have a bill

Assembly, authorizing the payment of

The New Albany Ledger can't well
avoid smelling the mice, for he has
an existence, and is large enough to
very appropriately be called rat"

eral quarters. showing that the leaven
of corruption is already at work.

FINANCIAL GAMBLING. = Three

FINANCIAL GAMBLING. - Three
Card Monte is not regarded as very
reputable game Among the majority
Of people it is classed among such
crimes as embe2zlement, theft, high
way robbery, &c. Yet it requires 4
very discriminating mind to detect the
difference. in moral point of view,
between the shuffIer of the dingy
cards over a rickety table in the cabin
of small STERN wheel steamboat, and
the New York railroad gamblers who
shuttle the stock cares in that empo
rum Of dissipation and crime. Ii
difference there is, it is In degree. and
in favor of the monte dealer. For
weeks past the papers Of the country
have been filed with sensation items
concerning the operations Of GOULD
aud. FISK 10 Erie stocks, and VAN
DERBILT and DREW In New York
Central. Their operations are of a
character that ought to add to the
inmates of Sing Sing. Yet they
are all honorable menl We now
learn that these restless gamblers are
not content with their ill-gotten
gains during the past two
mouths gains amounting to five
or six million dollars for VAN
DERBILT, and several hundred
thousand, if not millions, for GOULD
and FISK. They have, it is believed,
already inaugurated another move
ment of yet greater magnitude, which
is TO be consummated by again lock
ing up large sums of currency. These
reckless disturbers of business and
credit will ultimately destroy all faith
in railroad enterprises, and the peo-
pie will not dare to invest their earn
ings in any kind of stocks unless il
be Government stocks.
Travellers in Europe tell US of the
immense sums of money which change
hands every night in the gambling
heils at the various German watering
places. But we are confident none Of
them can rival the operations or
Wall Street, either in the reckless.
ness of the gamblers or the immensity
Of the sums which change hands
America is in the ascendant in gam,
bling as in most other particulars.
The result of the operations of the
Wall Street gamblers was marked on
the 18th lust. The lockingu Of cur.
reucy necessitated the payment of the
highest rates ever known for loans
In numerous instances, half pei
cent. commission, ia addition to the
regular rate, was given for money for
a single day, aud after bank hours ia

pected until after the quarterly bank
statement is made. II was almost
impossible to get discounts, and fail
ures were hourly looked for The
feeling among the bankers and mer
chants is very unsettled. and com
mercial confidence is greatly deranged
Under such circumstances it is pot

EVANSVILLE, Dec. %, 1868.
TO the Comma" Council Of the city Of EUGns.
The undersigned, in obedience to
an order of the Council, adopted on
the 21st, renewed on the 22d inst,
for 80 days, at the First National
Bank, loan of $15, 848, and paid in
terest and expense thereon, amount
ing to 1896 %, with a cash order
drawn upon the City Treasurer.
Respectfully submitted.
VIM. I'll. WALKER, Mayor.
By Report No. 3 we see that Mr..
Lowry not only gets his city orders
paid in money, but also the interest
on the same is paid in cash.
BY Report No. 4 we learn that the
issuing Of over twenty thousand dol
lars of twenty-five per cent. bonds
does not relieve the city of its press
ing necessities. To have to go into
bank for nearly sixteen thousand dol
lars so soon after the collection of
taxes, and pay interest on that amount
at twelve per cent, compounded every
ninety days during the year, presents
a gloomy prospect for all who have
the prosperity of the city at heart.
This is only the amount in one bank.
How much of the city paper is being
carried by tho other banks, at the
same rates, we have no means of
knowing.
The preferred bonds that we have
been discussing are made receivable
for taxes and other city dues" They
are. to all intents and purposes. so
much cash advanced in payment Of
taxes on the next duplicate. They
will take the place of money in the
settlement of next years taxes. The
amount of these bonds, with the bank
accounts which must be provided for,
are almost sufficient of themselves
to consume the cash portion of the
revenue as ordinarily provided by the
collection of taxes.
Yet, so far does this alarming con-
dition of affairs fail to influence the
Mayor and Council, that they are ac-
tually increasing the expenses of the
city in almost every department. In
stead of inaugurating a system ofrigid
economy, and stopping all work of no
absolute and immediate necessity,
they are branching out in every diree-
ton, building sewers, multiplying the
city officials, and in every conceivable
way adding to the public expenses.
