Legislature, for tie most part, sold their
pay certificates last spring and summer,
at seventy-fve and. fifty cents on the dol

way. 1t is even said that one bill for
$4,000 was sold for $4,000 in cash. Do
the original holders ,of these certificates

cents on the dollar? Then there are the
State bonds, which were summarily sold
out in Ne~ York. They brought, per-
haps, twenty-five or thirty. Are the hol-

not willing to be taxed for the benefit of

The President, IN conversation to-day,
again declared that he intended to inaugu-

the South, az had been represented, unless
it was embodied in tho careial consldcra-
ton of applications for the pardon Of the

pardoned one, and should probably pardon
more, though he intended no general !ail
delivery. He thought that where the
Piled for pardon and represented the aver

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.-With deep pain
we record the death of most estimable
young lady, Miss Lizzie z. Sloan, which
occurred on Sunday last, while on her
way home from church, in the neighbor-
hood of Cannon's Creek, IN this County.
It appears that the horse she was driving
took fright, and running away, threw
her and Mrs. Sloan, widow sister-in-

same night. She was the daughter of
