made by Gen. Tom Ewing, at Lancas-

simply propose TO not pay our debts,
because we can't. We are an honest but
unfortunate city. With the disposition
to pay, we have III, inability to do so,
unless compelled to by the courts. We
! will be honest on compulsion.

can publish what people will read, they
may swear rs much n they please.
