A correspondent on ''the Present Nation
al Banking system" says; >.
But to my mind the strongest reason IN
favor of the State banking system Is that IL
forms a system of checks and balances that
nreyepls ans possible danger from politi-
cal use of the money of the country.
If one State should use the banking pow
err to aid one political party, her neighbor
State may do the same thing to AID dlner-
ent party, and in that way one will balance
.he other, so that no concentrated political
action can possibly be agreed on.
Therefore say let us have back our old
State system again, when we can once more
see the gold and silver paid out at the
counters Of our banks. They are ready any
day to resume spacie payments, but the ma
tonal banks are not, and never Will De uh-
der the present system.
Another correspondent on "Mill Dams"
says: l.. 4, 49,,
with ali those shallow mill ponds we would
have one of the most healthy States in the
Union; aud men Of capital would come and
settle among US who are now afraid to come
near Us on account of the chIlls and levers
and bilious diseases we are subject to from
The causes above named. My plan would be
TO ret an act of the legislature passed au-
thorizing the condeming OF Objectionable
mill ponds, and the appointment oil COM
mission for each county to assess the dana
res TO the several owners oil mill streams
and make report of their assessment to tn
Levy Courts of the respective counties
which at their next meeting after such re
tnru should be by said act authorized t
issue 10 the several mill owners, who's
nroperty had been assessed and returned a
aforesaid, a bond of the county, drawing 81
por cent. interest and payable at the end
twenty years. for the amounts oil the respec
i've assessments; which bonds should ha'
ccupops attached, which should be receiva
bln Nv the tax collectors in payment
taxes or paid by the County Treasurer
Nh. ontion Of the holder. These bon'
would sell in the market, with the coun
euarantee) at par, and the holder cou
convert them into money and put in sea
mower TO drive his mill if he did not wish
discontinue its use; by which means 4
pnblic would be accommodated with III
HE wear round instead of only six or Gig
months Of it. BY this means the botto

for disloyalty, and there are indications
OF complication between England aud

The Convention.

There are intimations that some
merely local questions, in parts of the
State, or some contention between rival
aspirants for the permanent seat OF
government, may affect the action OF
the Legislature in calling a Constitll-
tional Convention at the earliest day
possible. We do not know how much
truth there may be in the grounds upon
which some of the most earnest friends
of reform base their apprehensions OF
disappointment. One thing is certain,
however; if, from any cause the will
and purpose Of the people are foiIed,
either by the antagonism of rival
schemes of communities, or the person
al plans or purposes Of any set OF men,
or the ambitious aims Of Individuals
the people will hold some one to a Sc,
we're reckoning. There can be no hon
est mistake on this subject. Victory,
last fall, meant reform; not partial,
halfway, and compromising-.but real,
earnest and thorough. A convention,
alone, can meet the popular demand
for change in the agencies by which
State and local government are to be
administered economically and benefi
cially. Let the legislature take care
that it act in full accord with the wish,
es and expectations Of the people,
They have suffered too much from their
worst enemies to be content with any
weak kneed service at the hands Of
their friends. We trust the warning Is
not needed-but woe to the political fu'
ture of any public man who goes back,
now, upon the popular voice so plainly
uttered in October.

The Message OF the Governor Of In
diana.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 6.-The Leg
islature met in joint committee this af-
ternoon TO hear the Governor message.
The message is very long and relates
principally to State matters. Referring
10 the State debt, the Governor says
that the financial condition Of the State
90 far as the liquidation Of our foreign
Indebtedness is concerned, is most sat
isfactory. Practically, an the foreign
debt of the State, except $l7S,00O of
war loan bonds issued under the Legis-
lature of 1861, had been redeemed. The
domestic debt OF the State, including
$3,55l,3l6 ID Of non-negotiable bonds
given to the school fund, is 1870
COL Is. There being no further need
Tor an agency at New York, or for the
Board. OF the State debt and sinking
fund the Commissioners recommended
that both be dispensed with. There will
be no injustice or unproprie@y in requir-
ing the holders Of the few remaining
certificates to receive their money at the
treasury ofthe Wabash and Erie canal.
The debt is then referred to at great
length and call the attention Of the leg
islature to the renewal Of the effort,
which is about to be made by the stock
holders of that stock to induce the Gen
eral Assembly to change the payment
thereupon to the treasury of the State,
and earnestly recommends the passage
Of a joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution so as
to declare that no act Of legislation
shall ever take effect or become law
OF this State whereby said canal stocks,
or any part thereof, shall be recognized
as debt Of the State or charged upon
the treasury thereof by way of re-
deeming said stock or otherwise, until
such act OF the Legislature shall have
been submitted to and ratified by the
qualified electors of this State, at q spe-
cial election to be held for that purpose.
1t calls attention to the glaring defects
Of the present laws for the assessment
and taxation Of railroads, through
which great injustice is done to the
State and to the owners of other kinds
OF property subject to taxation, and re-
peats the recommendation made to the
last General Assembly, that provision
be made for taxing shares OF stock in
State and other bonds for municipal
purposes, as other property is taxable.
