ga way to pay the State debt 10 few years
without taxing tbs citizens one cent. 1t the
State will establish grand lottery. say sell
200 600 tickets each mouth at S. each, re-
serving $500 600 for her share and give away
the other half million, and do this every thir-
ty days her lot cry tickets would soon be
sold ali over the world, and would be taken
up eagerly everywhere whea the people had
begun to have confidence in her Distribution
Of the prizes there would be an immense de-
mand everywhere for the tickets Let her
main prize be 500 600. Whenever prize
was drawn thousancs Of people would purcha :
it would require force OF not less than fifty
men to attend to the correspondence, &C.
Nov, unless she repudiates her debt in toto,
would not this be the best plan, and the only
one, whereby everybody would be- relieved Of
taxation? Let her try it and see how it will
work."

Bankruptcy.

Hon. c. r. Porter, member of the pres
ent congress, from the Petersburg District,
in Virginia, has introduced the following bill
relating to bankruptcy. It il similar to the
one before the Senate Judiciaty committee.
We noticed last week, that Mr.. Catcher, of
Virginia, had introduced a bill, fixing the
bankrupt exemption at $4,000. The bill of
Mr.. Porter is simply giving effect to the in-
tention of Congress in passing tho bill now
in operation. 1t reads:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House Of
Representatives of the United States of A.
merica i'll Congress assembled, that thu first
proyiso in section IA Of an act approved
March I'd, 1872, entitled ian act to establish
uniform system Of bankruptcy throughout
the United States" be amended by striking
out the following words "As is exempted
from levy and sale upon execution or other
process or order Of any court BY the laws of
the State in which the bankrupt has his dom
cle at the time Of the commandments of the
proceedings in bankruptcy, to an amount not
exceeding that allowed by such State exemp-
ton laws in force in the year 1861 and in
sorting in lieu thereof "of the value of two
thousand dollars" SO that the part, as amen
ded shall read as follows .sAnd such other
property not included in the foregoing excep-
sions of the value Of two thousand dollars"
Section g. That an act entitled ian act to
amend an act to establish uniform system Of

hereby, repealed.

The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1872-07-25

The Tribune has found what II
thinks 10 be q mares nest, and pro-
poses to incubate the contents into q
'fWhst is It." by the following:
"The simple truth in all this busi-
ness Is that the commissioners and
managers Of the party here knew that
Allen, from his past life, was not fit
to be trusted In Office, that for the
last few months he was negleeting his
business and that he was indulging
in periodical sprees. Further 1t is
true that an attempt was made to
smother the matter, and it was not
until the secrets leaked out that a con-
fession was made. What does the
Advertiser say?"
The ADVERTISER says that the fell
low who wrote the above, knows that
he lies, and knows that we know that
he lies. That is all.-AdUertiser.
AS an organ Of Greeley, the AdUer-
ttser should have simply said, "You
lie, you william, you lie" That was
the way Horace always had Of getting
over point he could not argue. In
due time we shall show that what we
asserted was true. We shall also
show that at least two of the commits
sIoners tried to saddle the matter of
the Allen trouble on Judge Lang.
Finding that would not do, they at
tempted to get the Judge to consent
to having the matter hushed up. To
the Judges credit, be it said, he told
them he would expose the whole af-
fair-thst they must take measures
for deposing Allen, and arrange it
that no such trouble should take place
in the future-that he-Judge Lang
did not purpose that any taint of
dishonesty should adhere to his gar
ments. After this 1t was that the
Watch dog Of the Treasury" assum-
ed such msntle Of honesty and sor-
row, and became so enraged at poor
Allen, whom the Advertiser called a
"scOundrel."
In the article we have copied 1t will
be noticed that no names are used,
and that it does not give an idea
what is referred to. The Advertiser
from its standpoint, acts wisely in
this, as the less said on its side OF the
Auditor trouble, the better, but for
us We shall not let it rest. There is
something rotten behind this Audit
