COLUMBUS, Aug. 24.-The Republican de-
ries the telegraphic report that the Legisla-
ture proposes to repudiate the class of State
bonds and selze the assets of the State bank
which is pledged to pay them. Only the
profits of the bank are pledged to pay the
bonds, and the bank has no profits. The bonds
are secure with or without this law. The law
If possible strengthens them. The explana-
tion OF the matter is, that the Legislature of
1865 appropriated the assets OF the bank to
foreign bond holders, depriving the bill holders
of their prior claim. The present bill reverses
that action and protects the bill holders as
creditors Of the State.
