The following facts, in regard to
the forgery practiced on the Bank OF
Madison, jackson, Tenn. will be read
with interest.
"On Friday, the twenty~6rst inst, a
man calling himself James B. Onstine
presented at the Bank of Madison, a
check for two thousand dollars on
Donnell, Lawson Il Co., of New York.
Onstine bore lette-s highly recommend
ed from prominent and responsible
citizen of Dyer Station, Tenn. On the
strength Of these letters the bank &C
cepted the check and advanced Ons-
slime FIVE hundred dollars, placing the
remainder of the check to his credit.
On presentation of the check to Don.
nell, Lawson d Co. it was protested;
and the Bank of Madison notified by
telegraph. Upon investigation it
was discovered that Onstine was a
fraud, and had forged the check.
Onstine is about fifty years old, has
dark hair and mustache tinged with
gray, is FIVE feet six or seven inches
high, weight about two hundred and
twenty-five or fifty pounds, has a
broad face, thick, short neck, heavy
jaws, and his general appearance is
that of Hebrew; he is a plausible
talker and q man of cool manners and
address. The Bank of Madison offers
a reward of two hundred and fifty
dollars for his arrest"
We have it by grape vine telegraph
that when Justine was introduced to
our friend White, the cashier, he was
addressed thusly: wisconsin old
poy, how you vas?" Onstine replied
in felicitous way, "Youst so goot as
dey make 'em."
We learn from Mr.. E. A. Collins;
the banker here, that Onstine, only
the day before his success at jackson.
attempted TO play the same game with
him. His suspicious were luckily
aroused in time to refuse Onstine the
favor solicited, while the evidence
at the same time, was not sufficient to
have the villain taken into custody.

The state and the Railroads.

The following sound and pungent
extract is taken from the able sPeach
delivered by Col. A. 5. Colyar at
Murfreesboro recently. The facts set
forth should have the attention of our
readers. -
"Many people say the railroads
ought tn pay the bonds which the
State gave because the State is not
profted by the railroads. The an
swers 20 this are:
l. The State promised to pay the
bonds to the bearer.
2. The State has collected in its
own paper the debts which the solvent
railroads owned and appropriated the
entire propety of the insolvent rail
roads.
8. 1t is wholly untrue that the
State got nothing. The State got
system of railroads which carries the
PEG ole's produce to market and enhan-
ces the value of lands: and besides,
now that all questions about the mode
of taxing the roads are settled and the
exemptions surrendered, the State
gets 500, 900 in the way of taxes and
the people Of the counties and towns
will get as much more, making $500,
600 of revenue annually, and which
comes directly from the aid the State
gave the railroads. And still it is
said We ought to pay no part of these
bonds or the interest on them, and
yet get 5000, 900 profit in cash every
year.
Can we afford to collect this 5000,
600 and pay no part of the interest, or,
if we could, would the courts allow us
| to do so, looking to the fact that the
money borrowed created the property
from which we get the revenue!
The people have been told so many
tales about what the tax on property
would be that I propose to relegate
the question to the school-masters and
abide their decision.
Comptroller Gaines, in carefully
prepared statement, published on the
9th of March last, showed that the
privilege taxes including collections
from all the clerks, insurance and ex'
press companies, will be 1851 600.
This does not include the railroad tax
OF 500, 900 and penitentiary lease of
s70,500. These added make $751;
500, which pays the interest on Sl2,>
000, 900 at 4 per cent. and leaves s4l,-
500 to be applied to current expenses,
which are s525, 900, from which take
SAL 800 and we have s4S3, 500 to be
provided for by direct tax on prop
erty, the taxable property being
1928, 100000 The only question re-
manning is the one now relegated to
all the school-masters in the State as
a means of settling dispute about
which no two men seem to be agreed.
The question is simply this: What
rate per cent. must be levied on $685.
Oo0, 600 to raise s4S3, 500, allowing
Is per cent for collections and delin-
quencies.
l insist that when the school
masters decide, the judgment shall be
final. This does not embrace large
sum collected every year on back
taxes, generally estimated at $40, 900
| to S35, 900.
