BY J. (. KCRSETT, DEP. AUDITOR OF STATE.

The General Acsenibly of the State ol Indiana, at its session commencing on the lirst Monday of December, JX35, passed ail act entitled "An act ti provide for a General System of Internal Improvements." The improvements contemplated were, the extension of the Wabash and Erie Canal the construction of the Central Canal the White Water Canal the Madison and Indianapolis and Lafayette Kailroad a McAdami/.ed road from New Albany to Yincennes a Turnpike from Jeflersonville to Crawfordsville the removal of obstructions (o navigation in the Wabash river, and works of minor importance.

For the prosecution ol these works an appropriation of

ten milium*

Out of this act, and others relating to the Wabash and Erie Canal, and the State Hank, and the peculiar deviations and irregularities of Democratic otiicials, sjrew the State debt of Indiana.

For the benefit of the holders ol the bonds of the State, the interest coupons 011 some were made payable in London, England, and 011 others in Jersey City and New York and there is evidence that the interest was paid each half year until January, 1841, when, as one of the results of the great financial disaster of 1M7, the credit ofthe State was prostrated, and the interest falling due at that and subsequent dates remained unpaid.

I11 lS4(i the importunities of bondholders, and the efforts of prominent citizens, in official and private life, directed serious attention to the lact that the State was in debt over twelve millions ol dollars that unpaid interest was accumulating at a fearful rate that the prosperity of the State was cheeked by the burJen of a great debt that immigration, »nd the assistance of men of capital, bad almost ceased and that citizens were outspoken in their determination to abandon their property and seek homes in other States.

At thesession ofthe Legislature, begun in the winter of lS-lti, an act entitled "A11 act to provide for the Funded Debt of the State of Indiana," «S c., well known as the "Butler Hill"—having been drawn up or dictated by Charles Kutler, the agent and repiysentative of the holders of the Internal Improvement l'onds—was placed upon the statute-book, and in 1^-L amended and completed by a supplemental act. liv virtue of the provisions of these acts" the State agreed to issue certilicates of stocV, principal and interest payable bv taxation, for one-halt ol the principal anil one half ol theonpaitl interest ol the Internal Improvement Bonds, and to surrender the canal, and large donations of land from the General Govemmen: to aid in its construction, for the other half of principal and interest.

To accomplish this, certificates ol stock were issued as follows Five per ceni. certilicates of State slock for one-half ol the principal of the bonds surrendered, and two and one-hall per cent, certilicates ol 67ii/e stock for one-halt of the unpaid interest.

For the payment of the principal and interest of the State stock, the faith of the State was irrevocably pledged, and for the pavinent of the principal and interest ol the Canal stock, the holders were to look 10 the revenues and profits of the Canal, the State, by stipulated agreement, fully concurred in by the holders ol the original bonds, being entirely relieved from all obligations in relation to that portion of the principal and interest.

The one-half of the debt represented bv certilicates of State stock, as shown by Douglass Maguire. Auditor ol State, in iiis report for the liscal year ending October "1, 1S47, [Doc. Journal, 1S47. patje 4 1. was as follows: line-half of the principal due

of almost uninterrupted Democratic government, daring which time the population and wealth of the State had increased very rapidly, and all the facilities for the successful management of financial affairs were at the command of ihe dominant party, the debt of the State had not heen increased. On the contrary, it had grown, as shown by the report of John W. Dodd, Auditor of State, [Auditor's Keport, 1860, p. 20,] to an atnounl exceeding

was a term of classic derivation to which they did not deem it necessary to give attention. When they wanted money to pay the interest on the State debt, they "went through" the Sinking Fund and by assiduous attention to all important matters excepting official duty and the welfare of the people, they managed to get the General Fund of the Treasury indebted to Funds set apart for specific purposes, to the extent of S989,18S.9o.

Jn October, I860, the Republican party was successful, and in January, 1SG1, a Republican General assembly convened at Indianapolis, and Republican officials took possession of their respective offices.

Soon after, at the breaking out of the war, Governor Morton called a special session of the Legislature, and that body found it necessary, in the exigencies of the situation, to authorize the issue of War Bonds to the amount of two millions of dollars, thus necessarily adding a large amount to the great debt, and increasing the responsibilities and perplexing duties of the new party in powVr.

As a means of paying the War Bonds at the earliest practicable moment, the act authorizing the bonds, provided a specific tax, and, also, that payments made by the General Government for monev expended by the State authorities in equipping troops and providing materials of war, should be applied to the immediate redemption of the bonds. The matter and tables following will showthat these requirements were strictly complied with.

During the years 18GU, 1804, the Democratic partv was again in power. They made their brief return famous by refusing to pay the interest 011 the State debt when there was a million of dollars in the Treasury, thereby embarassing the State at a critical period, and by their course generally, giving aid and comfort to the rebels in arms.

In the election of 1804 the Democracy were permitted to retire—were peremptorily dismissed by a majority of 20,000 and in January, 1SG5, the Republican party resumed its labors.

In December, 1865, the Legislature, in special session, passed the "State Debt Bill," providing a tax for the specific purpose of paying the State debt, and describing the manner in which redemption should be made. In June, 1800, before ttie tax authorized could he levied and collected, with the funds they had at their dispolas, the

I11 .March, 1S07, the Legislature passed an act entitled an "act to consolidate certain honds, stocks, and accounts ol the School Fund into one non-negotiable bond,'' ite., in pursuance of which act the live per cent, certificates and two and one-half per cent, certificates of State stocks purchased by the Commissioners ofthe Sinking Fund were surrendered bv the Auditor nl State, and the non-ne-otiable bond given.

Total 510,179,267 09 This will appear all the more painful when .it is remembered that in 1849, and continuously forward, a tax was levied and collected for the special purpose of extinguishing the funded debt, and that if the tax thus provided had been faith fully applied, and reasonable economy observed in State expenditures, the entire debt might have been paid in ISfJOI In the brief schedule of duties imposed upon Democratic officials, however, the word

with means sufficient to pay off the entire indebtedness, met at the office of the Agent of State, to take such action in paying the debt and closing the long«existing agency as should be deemed necessary. Holders of the stock,however, did not manifest a desire to give up their certificates for payment, and the Board at once gave notice that interest would cease on the first day of September, and that the stock should be presented for payment on or before that date.

Thus, a few years of judicious management of financial affairs has placed the good name and credit of the State in the front rank, so that her obligations are regarded as the best security, and holders of stocks are compelled, by the notice that interest will be stopped, to surrender their claims for payment.

In addition to the millions of dollars of the State debt that have been paid by Republican administrations, fifty thousand dollars have been paid each year, since 1861, for apportionment by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, to cancel a claim of the

School Fund against

the General Fund of the Treasury: the direct tax levied by the General Government upon the State during the war, amounting to §904,875 33, was paid without recourse to additional taxation the indebtedness of the Northern Prison has been paid, and the Prison completed ^tlie Soldiers' Home, atKnightstown, the Normal School building, at Terre Haute, the building for the Supreme Court and State Offices, and Female Reformatory, at Indianapolis, the House of llefuge, at Plainfield. have been erectcd and paid for, and the Insane Hospital and Deaf and Dumb Asylum have been materially enlarged and improved, besides the ordinary expenditures of State government, making in the aggregate a sum exceeding two and a half millions of dollars.

Thus it will be seen, seventeen years of Democratic management left the Stjite with a debt exceeding ten millions, which was soon after increased, by the necessities of the country in time of war, to more than thirteen millions!

Republican administrations since January, 1S61, with the years 1863 and 1864 more than lost by the incumbency of Democratic State officers, have wiped out the debt and placed Indiana, in all that constitutes political and financial greatness, foremost among the States of the Union.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The I.ifc Sustaining Principle. The vital and the muscular systems are entirely distinct from each other. Am-. have the brawn of a Hercules, but if he is deficient in vital energy he will not wear as well, orlifst as long or be as healthy and happy while he does last, as the man of ordinary, even slender build, who possesses a larger share of this animating principle. One ofthe greatqst recommendations of that pure vegetable invigorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is that it increases the vital force ofthe ys.tem, Xo medicine can double the volume of a man's muscle, or thicken and vulcanize his thews and sinews but Hostetter's Bitters has an effect much more important. Its use promotes constitutional vigor, It reinforces the life-powe ofwhiehbone and sinew and muscle are merely the instruments, holding the same relation to it that machinery does to steam. Let the slight and apparently fragile take heart, they may have more stamina, though far less physical strengh, than the broad shouldered athletes they regard with envy. To restore, to sustain, to increase this staminal principle which, when full supply, is the source of health and the best guarantee of longevity, is a special property of the famous restorative, It is not only a specific for dyspepsia, billiousness, intermittent fevers, consumption, tc., and a preventive of all diseased of malarious character, but the best of all medicines for strengthening the constitution and awakening the powers of nature from whatever eause they may have become lethargic. 1
