number Of boarders, on the ground, not hay.
ing tents, was 1000. Many Of the tents were
elegantly carpeted and otherwise handsomely

stock can be taxed within the State
where the bank is located without re-

that shares Of stock in national banks
are personal property under the ma

the court is (: "They are a species OF

which creates them may separate them

A SENSIBLE SPEECH.

Ex-Governor Palmer made very
sensible speech to Springfield audi
ence, during the late canvass in that
city for municipal officers. If Mr.. Pal
mer were a small politician, willing to
conserve his own personal interests at
the expense Of the interests of the pub
lie, he would not have spoken at all in
the peculiar canvass that was brought
to conclusion on last Tuesday but
he is not small politician he is a
gentleman of great ability, who truck
les to nobody-speaks his mind on all
occasions and allows the consequences
to take care of themselves.
Springfield is democratic city. 1t
is very democratic, and party discipline
i. sternly enforced by the party lead
ers. The scratching Of democratic
ticket is an ofiense that creates great
outcry against the scratchcr, aud is be-
licved by most Of the members Of the
party to be an objectionable sin. Mr.
Palmer has been in sympathy with the
democrats for sometime past, and the
members Of the party in that city had
learned to believe he had imbibed their
prejudiccs and would swallow any nau.
seous dose democratic caucus nigh,
commend to his lips. They mistook
their man.
In the canvass there We're three tick
ets-the democratic, the republican and
the law and order ticket. Mr.. Palmer
espoused the cause Of the law and order
ticket, and in its interest made the
speech to which we have referred. lie
said that, in the last seven years, he had
participated in municipal canvasses in
Springfield, but had never heard that
the city had interests requiring care.
He had heard in times past that the
republican or the democratic party re-
quired the election Of it, ticket, but
had not heard the interests of Spring.

good IN their places, but they had, in

Mr.. ID. l.. DAVIS, of the Sun has

Of the republicans of this district for the

The only other gentleman who has

is no doubt he will have considerable
strength in a republican convention,
