THE STATE DEBT—A DISSOLVING VIEW. It is a matter of some doubt whether ai subject involving figures, and statistical deductions, can be made attractive to the general readers of newspapers. Since the advent of that illustrious figure-head, Dolmar, at Washington, public debt statements aro regarded by many good people as the "well-laid plans" of public officers to show up splendidly to the masses, oP&s "pat qp" arguments for party purposes,

It may as well be Frankly acknowledges that the tables and statistics, and all the other results of hard work, in public documents, are of little practical value to the people. Why this is thus i: would be hard to ielL It seems to be necessary to publish vast numbers of Annual reports, at an enormous expense to the State, and for what?—for a few persons who lake the pains to get and examine the ihings, but mostly for people of the "grocer sort/ and for uses of the basest character.

It is provoking to know that this is so, and it is somewhat disagreeable to know that it is expensive.

As a truce to these irrelevant remarks, and lest someone gets as impatient as-the parrot in the convent, whp 8wdre "Ventre Saint Oris," "Parbleu" and "Sacre," !^Threeoaths, and cre yonea "whackerallow me to tear a page out of the Auditor of State's report for the fiscal year ending October 31,1869, and give herewith some of the figures in relation to the State Debt

The whole amount of the foreign debt October 31 of last year was three millions five hundred and forty thousand one' pred and eighty-four dollar and seventy nine cents ($3,540,184.79.) The whole amount October 31 of this year was one million eight hnndred and forty-five tliou sand six hundred and ninety-six dollars and forty-six cents ($1,845,696.46,) show ing a reduction during the year of one million six hundred and ninety-five thou sand five hundred and eighly-eight dol Iars and thirty-three cents, leaving the entire outstanding foreign debt of the State at the da.e given one million six hundred and thi ty-six thousand nine hundred and fifty-six dollars and thirty-three eents.

The redeemed certificates of stock, can celed by ihe Agent of State in New York and carefully compared with the regis ters he-e are held by the Auditor for ex aminaiion and final destruction by the finance committees of the General As sembly.

If the certificates and bonds now outstanding can be obtained, that is, if holders will surrender them for paVmeht, tfte whole indebtedness of the State will be extinguished during the ensuing two years, and Indiana will enjoy a sense of freedom she has not known for nearly third of a century.

HOW IT USED TO BK.

Du-ing the time the millions of dollars of State indebtedness was being redeemed it was never necessary to borrow money to pay interest, or meet Other expenses and it is in no partisan spirit that I say there is evidence on the books that the Democracy frequently resorted to that "little maneuver, and didn't redeem any State Btocks either.

In point of fac^, there are still many pathetic reminders of former times among the "valuable papers" of one of the State departments, in the shape of old promissory notes, antiquated bills of exchange,and divers collateral securities^ defunct corporation stocks, and deeds to swamp lands, that were turned over to their successors by Democ/aiic State officials who found it inconvenient, at the expiration of their brief authority, to fork over the money that belonged to the State.

SOME CURIOUS FACTS

could be brought io light if one were disposed to dig de6p enough into old' documentary journals, Governors' messages, and State papers that have the mold of a score and a half of years upon them. It would be found that the State owned at one time an oil factory in Brooklyn New York, a soap factory, and land and appurtenances thereunto belong ng, in Je.sey City, thirty or forty lots in New York City, and some in Buffalo, lands in Georgia and Florida, and various oilier evidences of irregularity in office, and financial distress.

The State was not prepared to go in'o the soap business, just at that time, and consequently the factory in Je.sey City was sold cheap so was the oil establishment in ooklyn,[and the lots in New York, and about five hundred shar9s of Appalachicola Land Company stock, represen'ing lands in Florida, consisting principally of alligator swamps, and light house sites.

It is too late noiv to grieve over the matter, but it is a fact that the lots in' New York City, and property in Brooklyn and Jersey City, once owned by the State and sold for a comparatively trifling consideration, are now worth more than two millions of dollars.

DEBTS OF OTHER STATES.

As our own Sta.e is p.actically out of debt, thanks to Providence and Republican admin'^' ations, it may be of some interest to see how it is with others. The little Stae of Connecticut owes ten millions Illinois six millions Michigan three millions Missouri sixteen millions Tennessee forty millions Virginia forty millions] Pennsylvania thirty millions New.TfWit,fifty millions, and so on.

THE GRAND ARMV RL'UXION. As everybody knows by this time, Ihe reunion of the Army of the Cumberland, was a grand success, just such as Nat. Kimball declared it should be. No one can know, however, but those who participated, just how thoroughly joyous an occasion it was. Old time camp-meetings used to' be great places for hand-shaking and shouting, and getting uproariously happy but there never was a c&mp-meet-ing happier than the reunion in this city of the soldiers of the war for the Union.

It was a great privilege to see such men as Rosecrans and Sheridan and Schofield and Granger and Weiael and Willich and a host of Ovhern, whose names shine brilliantly on the pages of history, talking their grub, and sipping wine and talking pleasantly of the tying times of the rebellion, 6f the terrible days that brought them— "Triumphant laurels and immortal famo."

It must be admired, however, that seeing distinguished men sometimes disturbs the poetic ideal that one has had before not that they are less worthy of renown, or the full measure of our admiration but because they appear somehow divested of the enchantment that surrounds the names of heroes we read about, and do •not see.

The Banquet Friday evening was a magnificent affair. Speaking, and singing, and cheering, were indulged in to the heartiest extent and some of the speeches m*de will be dovetailed into the yet incomplete history of the rebellion. Towards the little horns of the night there may hive been some "plaiif, and ornamental drunks," bot

IT MAY interest some of our readers to know what a gossippy exchange says of Mrs.'H. B. STOWE'S daughters: They "are very tall and not particularly handsome, but have a well-bred air and good features. They are independent as possible —don't care thespaprof the £ngers for rose-leaf conveiitiOnalities. The/ Lave •long and pretty hair, and wear it streaming down their backs, slighly crimped and very frizzy.

A of ad vancement and a b"igh!er fuiiKe in Mexico—the introduction of free schools, of which little has as yet been heard froin that quarter by the oater wo ld, but which are now reported to be attaining a gratifying success. An o,-derly Republican government is impossibly as the history of Mexico, abundantly ^prpves*^ without a basis of popular ^itel|gencar

With-

the'introduction of common schools into that country, it is to be hoped that the rising generation may al*o be trained in better moral and religious principles than such as are imparted by a lazy and licentious priesthood.

CAREER OF A DESPERADO/*

Frank Leonard, the Assassin, Bur glar, and Bounty Jumper.

From the Chicago Evening Journal.] In the middle of last July a burglafy was committed at Beloit, Wisconsin.—

Gale, and

alias

several other names, a

worthless character, who had been hanging round the town and could give no satisfactory account of himself. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Johnson, and Constable Hawlcy, but, on the way to the lock-siH, t^e tarneraxk£§ftf $1 the groht and Johnson in the shoulder blade, and escaped. On Monday last he was arrested in this city, by Detective Robert Kenny, and yesterday Mr. Kenny returned from Beloit, where he had taken the prisoner, and delivered him up to the proper authoiities.

The 'following accoiyii of this individ, uals career shows with' how much impunity some men commit crime 'About the yuer 1860 he was arrested near Ponliac and Deli oit and taken back to Pantiac, Mich., for robbing a commission warehouse in that place, in company with a man named Cody, of the sum of SI,600, which they hid on a railroad track.: They were ai rested between Pontiac, where they were locked up, but would fldt give up the "swag" without being discharged from custody, so they were let go. He next was arrested at Juneau, Wis. for burgla y, and was offered his dis charge'if he enlisted in the army. On being taken to the rendezvous for enlistment, he was recognized by a lawyer who was present, and in consequence was rejected. He was then started to Green Bay to be enlisted there, but he "jumped" the train at Oshkosh and got away. After that he went to Nashville, Tennessee, and robbed a bank of $10,000 in gold in two bags. He was arrested by the Provost Marshal, and was again turned loose on giving up the money. After that he commenced jumping bounties.

In 1864 he was arrested in Dubuque, Iowa, for EbrjfTsir*', and for shooting a doctor, and.woul4 have been lynched but for the interference of Sheriff Mahoney. While in jail there an effort was made to get him out of

(the

hands of Sher

iff Ma honey vv by! some Wisconsin officials, on a "put up" case of murder but, the Sheriff having found out th^it it was a

ruse

to get him

out of his hands, refused to give him up. He was then tried atPubuijuej convicted, and sent to. the Penitentiary for ten years, but, after having served tiiree years, lie was pardoned through the influence of certain officials of this State. His next exploit was at Beloit. jAfter that he again tinned up in "loVn, and was detected in the act of committing a burglary. A scuffle ensued, and two balls were lodged, in his leg, which disabled him, and he was captured and sent to jail. He broke jail again, and came to Chicago,

Jl lXiE HOAR.

From the St, Louis Democrat.] The nomination of attorney General Hoar to the vacant position the Supreme Court was not Unexpected, and gives general satisfaction. The country will gain as good, honest, and able a Judge as it can wish. But the Cabinet will lose one of its' most worthy members. It is probable that a Cabinet position is not to Judge Hoar's ta3te. He is anything but a politician, and has a violent distaste for the management which is often necessary for the success of any party. It is unnecessary, of course, to add, "that he has offended a great many mere partizans by refusing to do things for party reasons whieh seemed to him inconsistent with public duty. Such things he ought to refuse to do, and we sincerely hjbpe thatnlB successor, whoever he may be, will also refuse to do. But within the limit of public duty, there are also mftny opportunities to choose between measures more or less likely to aid the success of party, and that choice, we can easily understand, men of purely judicial habits of mind find distasteful. That Mr. Ho: has nevertheless been a most worthy member of the Cabinet we need not say, and the President will hardly find tman in all respects superior to him. But as a judge he will add another to the thoroughly upright and honorable members of the court, and will strengthen it in the public confidence. If were lifee hlin no member of die court woufil be in danger of a democratic nomination, and no bill would be pending to restrain thecourt within its proper constitutional jurisdiction.

Do Too Want to Bny a Dog!

From the Cincinnati Times.] Jones was very anxious to buy a black and &nrfbgi' He wanted a genuine "ratter,*' SOB wnorn there was no discount. He had gazed with feelings of envy upon numerous of his associates leading or carrying diminutive specimens of the canine race, of whom it was said they were "death on rats." He desired to have some of it himself. He pined for a little dog that was death on rats, one that he could put a little silver collar on bearing his name, and encase in a neatlv

-/ail if fajnfiJgfSfath an« ddfmAiJi mV'TO^rot TfiniinyT Afteriieolii&nMe inquiry he heard of such a dog, pure as to breed, and undaunted as to courage.

When he saw the dog he was entirely pleased with his appearance, which betokened a ratter of the most sanguinary and successful type.

But Jones was cautious. He was not a man to do anything rashly, not even in the purchase of a dog, so as he hadn't the

cant kri ment upon the beast. "Best way to test a ratter," said Smith, "is to turn him in among the rats"

So together went Jones and Smith with the ratter to a rat-pit in order to test his capacity in getting away with a rodent. The dog trembled greatly, it was observed when they put him into the pit, but Jone3 thought it was because he was so eager to have the rats dumped in, though he observed a leering smile on the intellectual face of the rat owner. "Ow many rats will you 'ave?" inquired the latter. "Throw 'em all in let him have all you've got," said Jones, eagerly "he'll fin ish 'em/' .Jt. ,s,

But Smith' suggested that they had bet ter try him on a single healthy rat first and see how he got along with him.The suggestion was acted upon. When ^ig rat was brought in A cage the ratter, tore around the pit, barking furiously— "Seems to me he wants to get out," said Smith. "Oh, no," said the rat man, "that's the way they lialways hacts. It shows 'is hea gerness. 'E's heager for the fray."

The cage was opened and the rat dump ed into the pit, when it immediately darted at the dog, who turned and run as if he had the hydrophobia, yelping for dear life. Round and round the pit they went, the rat gaining every round until finally he caught Mr. ratter by the jaws and held on like grim death.

Jones was a picture of .disappointment? and 'dismay. "What had I better 3b?1® rhfe said to Smith as he saw that the dog was getl.'ng the worst of it. "Do?" said Smith, "why you'd better let the dog go and buy the rat."

Jones didn't buy a rat-and- an then and he hasn't been looking any up since. He considers ihem a humbug.
