BLOATED BANKER. MAGNITUDE OF THEIR MAKING. MISCHIEF AN iySTITUTION THAT IS DOING MORE DAM AO K lO TUR COUNTRY THAN TWEED THIEVERY AND THE CROOKED WHISKY consriRACY. To the Editor of tbe Sentinel : Sir: If there Is any on diabolism in legislation recorded upon the historic pages ol tbis country tht txceeds another, it Is In that act ol congress which organized and protects the present national tanking system. It is Iraugtt with more oppression, outrage and plunder to the Ux payers of this country tban all of Twwd'n robberies ot public lucds in New Yc rk, and the "crjoked whisky" frauds oa the public ravenue combined tcgetbsr. It 1 a fully developed cancer on the body politic, eating out from year to year the vital strength of labor. It is as remorseless as Dante's Ditto and lowest limb?," and, like Solomon'd three things that are never satisfied, its gredy aipitite for the bard earnings of honest industry is never appeased. It is like the tanguieage, cr, horse-leech upoD tbe waters edge crying, ever, give I give! give! Let us here take brief survey of its operations, andsae if we are not justified in thus denouncing it. lathe first place A, or A, B, C, etc., desire to atatt a national bank. Urder and by virtue ot theprovisiors of said law, tLey take (tor illustration) their f 100,000 in government bond", drawing five per cent, per annum interest in gold, payable semi-annually, and deposit them in ihe national treasury. Then upon tbe basis of that capital thus deposited, the bank in authorized to issue $90,000, cr 90 per cert in national bank currency as a circulating medium. This "black back" currency is loaned out to tbe people ft one p?rcent. per month on papjr, ivnewable every thirty to ninety days. In ether words, the luterett at that rate is compounded on an average of six times a year on tbeir entire outttindicg issue. This interest alone amount to tbe considerable so m of over 11,000 profit on the bank's priva'e traasactlon, and, in addition to tb's the Kovernmei-t piys totbesame bank over 5,000 per annum in gold as INTEREST ON THE BONDS deposited with the recretary ot treasury as security for tbe bank's circulation. Now let us next examine and see how this aggregates over tbe hole country through tbe entire system of bank circulation. As shown ty tbe official ttatament cfthe comptroller of the currency tbe national bank note circulation outstanding on the latday of November, 1875, was 343,216,902, add to this 10 per cent, and you get the Tain of bonds on deposit with secretary ot treasury as security for this circulating issue which amounts to J 34 821.690 which makes the grand total of bonds on deposit 1383,038,592. This la-ge turn draws Interest on an average at the rae ol five per cent, per annum payable in gold and amounts to tbe enormous sum of $19,151,929 per year. Th's large sum Is every year changing through the channels ol taxation, lrom the 'earnings of the many Into tbe cofleis of tbe few "making the rich richer and tbe pxr poorer." Mow long at that rate would it take tbe national banks ol this country to absorb the entire taxable wealth, real and personal, (and I will tay right here, that the law requires tbe assessment of property to be made at its fair cash value) of the state of Indiana? By reference to the last report ot the auditor of ttate I find, exclusive of Marion county, that tbe entire taxable property, real and personal, of tols state, amounted to $803,816,009. Dividing that by ninety-one counties we get the average valuation per county at $3 833,143. It will thus be seen that tbe amount piid by the government as Interest on bonds, tbe security of national bank circulation would, in round numbers, exhaust tbe entire taxable wealth, real and persona, el two and one-lourtb average, counties each and every year, or, in about forty years, the average lifetime of one generation, would exhaust and ABSORB ALL THE TAXABLE WEALTH OF THE STATE ot Indiana, exclusive of Marion county. Now let us next see how long it would take to absorb Marion county. By the last report of the auditor of state it is hown that Marion county has $93,92 3,774 of taxable wealth. As heretofore shown the annual interest on bonds, the basis of national bank note circulation, is about twenty millions dollars. It would then take about four year and eight months tor the national banks of tbis country to literally swallow all tbe taxable wealth ol Marlon coutty, Indianapolis included. And yet tbe recent republican state convention had not one word to ntter in condemnation of tbis vile and iniquitious system of robbery. But let us kt this pjinttake another view of this question. By reference to the lsi repoit of tbe auditor of state it will be seen that the entire wheat crop of tbe state for tbe year 1874 amounted to 23,552,009 bushels. The Interest paid by tbe government that year to national banks wonld have paid for every bushel ot wheat raised by every farmer in tbe (tare a traction less than one ' dollar per bust el in gold. Or, as per tbe airne report, there were 82,780,997 bushels ofcern raised in tbe Btate. 1 he interest thus paid to tbe banks wculd have paid a fraction less thau twenty-five cents in gold for every bushel of corn. Or, aa per report above, tbere were 511,136 bones in tbe state. The kterett would have purctassd every one, old and young. Rood, bad and indifferent, at the rate of about - thirty-nine dollars par bead in gold. Or, there were 1,133,179 head of cat t tie, old and voung, tig and little, which tbe interest would baye purchased at the rate of a little less tban $20 per head in gold, or, there were 2,408,u7 r?eau ox nogs, big and little, old and young, which t ue aforesaid Inteittt would nave purchased at the rats of a fraction less than 9 per bead in cola. Thua it will be teen at a glance what this ikiquttous national Banking system is costing tbe people of year. But, do the the country every republican party at tbis seemlnelv leadars propose to stop overflowing measure of outrage and ol presiion? Not at all. They are proposing and rsp'.d'y securing tbeir plans, looking to the redemption and destruction of tbe entire green back or legal-tender tote circulation and replacing it with national bank

dim The comptroller of the currenev in lila official report abows that on tbe 1st diyof November, 1875, there were f 373,2iß,214 of legal-tender notes in circulation. With their destruction, even if the paper tnonev medium ol exchange was

maintained at its rresemvoiume oy national .bank note, tbe government would then, Instead of 20,000,000, be piylng $40,000,000 as interest out of the LarJ earnings of the toiling masses, wh'cb, it tbu 8pplifd, would purchase the entire salable wealti of th s state In 20 years and of Marlon county in a little over two years, or it would ra7 double tbe amount teretofore specmea lor inerarm proaucis heretofore enumerated. Tbere is no more reason or justification icr the government paving a subsidy to banking corporations tban tbere Is lor paying it to the iarmer, mechanic cr laborer. And Ifthelatt9r would organize together and vote tor their interest it would Boon cease in tbis country. AÜTI-HASK OUBtlUI. Brazil, Ind , Feb. 23, 1876. OLEAGINOUS ORTH IIIS KNOW-NOTHING RECORD. HIS EXPLANATION ( f it as reported BT A BROTHER REPCBUCAN OTHER ECCENTRICITIES. To the Editor of the Sentinel : Sib: Well, weli! and so our great man has got the republican nomination and is going to try to be governor, then maybe United States senator, then maybe We feel proud öl our great man, Godlove, we do. and -shall expect much of him in the way of talking down a record that would otherwise be apt to operata too much against him. A cataplasm be must have for tbe lacerated leellngs of the Ger mans and Irish of republican proclivities when told that they must now vote for the president ot the old state organization of know-nothings for governor. TniscstapUsm. I think, be bes get c'ready fixed up, to a certain extent, he says he has changed bis mind In regard to tbe princi pies of know-notbingism, especially since tbe enfranchisement of the nezroes. tie now is of opinion that a German or an Irishman is ZVbT AS GOOD AS A NEGRO, if he behaves himself, and is entitled to be placed upon an equality, politically atd otherwise, with that savory species f an American citfz?n. He says fur.her, understand, that knon-nothingism, so far from having been the objeetloraole bug bear that foreigners generally Burp.s, was, like the Sons of Malta, more a matter of tun and recreation than anytblog elte; that although be was president of the in stitution for a while, he was never reallv much In earnest In enforcing its rroecriptlve principle?, and finallv changed hi mind and drop pad the whole thing just as Boon as he discovered that it was getting unpopular generally, and especially so among the Irish anu Dutch. Any reasonable toreigner ought to be satisfied with tbis explanation, and if they era not all so satisfied it ia only evidence that there yet remains some disloyalty in the country. There is good deal of complaiLt 'that Mr. Orth, being in the la t con grass, voted for tbe resumption act, which the very conven tion that nominates him for governor now unanimously votes to repeal. think Mr. O. will contrive to make that all right when he comes in from Vienna and GOES BEFORE THE PEOPLE AND SPEAKS HIMSELF. I suppose Mr. Orth'd friends and ad mlrers will, of course, endeavor to make something out ol bis military history dur ing the war. They will tell us how be was commodore of tbe Ram Hornet, which fearful war vessel patrolled the Ohio river for 30 days, or thereabouts, tbe terror ol rebelliously inclined women and children by day, and tbe uncompromising avenger of every species ot disk y alt y to be found among tbe leathered tribes, the geese, turkeys, ducks and chick ens, upon Kentucky's neutral shoers, by night. It is amusing to see by the In dianapolis Journal that some enthusiactlc writer boasts that Orth has "tbe whole ot Tippecanoe county at his back," and al that sort ol ttaff. For tbe information ot this writer and those who may be disposed to swallow his nonsense, I will state that Mr. Orth was beaten lor circuit judge in this coucty about a dozen years ago, by poor old Andy Ingram, and that the last time he was elected to congress lrom this district, notwithstanding there was fair and square republican majority of at least thirty in tbe coucty, be was beaten about one hundred votes by John Purdue, and I predict that be will be beaten in this count next Otto ber by whoever runs against him, be it either Holman, Manaon or Landers That's the w-y he'll "have Tippecanoe county at his back" next tau. übet. BUTTERMILK AND BASENESS. THE WIDOW'S FRIEND AND THE MODE OF FRIENDLY M ANIFf STATION.

To the Fdltor of the Sentinel: 8ir The Journal of your city says there is nothing in the "Peter" case that should operate against the character of Mr. Orth as a lawyer and an honorable man. Perhaps in these days ot degeneracy, the thing wouldn't look near as bad a9 it did at the time it occur re 1. I think, however, it would look bad enough at anytime to those who understand the full hlstoryof the case before it went to the Supreme Court lor final adjudication. It should be k n -wn ibt tbe widow Peter was a Pennsylvania German woman, and employed Mr. Orth es her attorney, fcecaoss ne was tbe son ot a Pennsylvania German, and could talk Pennsylvania Dutch to ber. On this account she is said to have bad the most Implicit confidence in Mr. Orth. The story ia that after Orth and Wright had arranged the terms of the division of tbe spoils, they hired a buggy and started out to tbe Pet r farm together; that not wishing to be seen in company together by tbe old lady, for fear she migtt suspect that all was not right, Orth got out of the buggy before they got to the farm and walked across loti to tbe bouse. Mir. Peter testified that when he came In, it being quite a warm day, he was perspiring freely, as he 8AT HIMSELF DOWN UPON A CHAIR and wiped off his massive brow with a red bandanna, and asked for buttermilk. She filled a flowing bowl of this favorite Pennsylvania Dutch beverage and brought it to her trusted attorney, whom she was very t

glad to see and entertain at any time, but especially ao now, aa aha wai being so constantly harrasssd by Wright and his myr

midons with tbreatenings ci law suits that might dispossess her ol all the property ehe owned. She testified that Mr. Orth drank most beaitlly of tte butter milk, and, Bitting it down and smacking his lipe, he remarked, "Ab, Mrs. Peter, that is good, it is tbe same kind of butter milk my good old mc toer used to cnurn away down in old Pennsylvania." Just now Wright drove opto tbe door In the buggy, and tbe way fce and Ojtb were astonished at tbe singular coincidence of meeting each other thera at that particular time was quite entertaining to tbe widow Peter. But inasmuch as they bad thus accidentally met, they m'ght as well talk over tbe matter or Wright's propped nesotiatlons for Mr. Peter's farm. The matter was therefore fully discussed, resulting in the advice cl Mr. Orth to Mrs. Peter, as ber attorney, that to eave all danger ot lit'gation here after that might result in stripping her ol all her possessions, she bad best accep. the proportion cf Wright and make him a title to tbe land. SHE THEREFORE MADE THE DEED, which Orth had already prepared in h s pocke', was taken let) Clinton county to acknowledge it, and the grandswindle was completed, as they supposed. But it was a glorious thing that we bad a Supreme Court with intelligence and Integrity enough to put its ban of condemnation upon such a fraudulent and swindling transaction, and the whole thing was finally declared void on account ot fraud. me Indianapolis Journal thinks there la nothing aishonorable In a case like thi?. Ex-Supreme Court Judge R. C. Gregory didn't appear to thick bo, lor notwithstanding he bad received some money as a retaining fee on tte Orth and Wright's side, be p aid the money back and threw up tbe case in loathing and disgust, and would have nothing to do with it when he came to learn tbe whole circumstances. Nothing disreputable, hey? I would like to see tbe voung law yer of fair reputation and Intelligence who would consent to shoulder the amount of odium that such a transaction would entai', and to get hi price for carrying such a load through ail his after life. Übet. Lafayette, Feb. 26, 1876, , ft "HOLLOW HYPOCRISY." THAT'S WHAT A COLORED MAN SAYS OF THE RADICAL CLAIM OF FOSTERING THEIR RIGHTS. To the Editor of the Sentinel: Sir: Alter carefully scanning tbe names of the delegates and alternates to tbe Na tional Republican Convention, and tbe names of the electors and contingents, and the state ticket of the reputed to be friends of the negro, I do not see the name of a single negro. Ia all tbis cry hollow hy pocrisy ? Is all tbe boasted love and devc tion only to crush out the South? Is all tbecry about proscribing tbe negro in tbe South because he is black false? If it be false in tbe Siuth it must be true in Indiana. Whre are tbe illustrious Hinton, McCarv, Elbert, Poiter, Broyles, Russell, Revel and a host too numerous to mention, who proscribe every colored man unless he votes tbe republican ticket, even countenancing tbe mobbing of Maboney and ethers. Hin ton, tbe stats officer, or McCary, tbe gov ernment officer or federal officeholder. Answer as true men, or, if you ' will not, let tbe above mentioned others answer. P. 8.

From the Richmond Free Press. The Hon, Samuel E. Perklnp, at present judge ot the Sop?rior Court ot Marion county and formerly on the Supreme Bench of the stat i, is spoken of for judge of the Supreme Court lor tbe third (Indi anapolis) diatrict. Than .Judge Perkins no abler or purer man, it is generally con ceded, has ever wore tbe ermine in this state, and in Eastern Indiana, where he formerly lived, be is exceedingly popular From the Peru Sentinel. One of the most Important matters to be considered by the next democratic con vent ion la the nomination for supreme judge?. We have no judge to elect in this district, but elect In all four of tbe others, They are voted for over the entire ttate and we feel no hesitancy in met tionlng me names or proper candidates. The per sons nominated lor that position should be able to give strength to tbe ticket by their legal ability and integrity. We sug gest lor toe consideration of in conven tion Judge Samuel E. Perkins, of Indian apolis, as a man in every way calculated to atiengthen the ticket by his peculiar fitnest for tbe position. Judge Perkins is too well known to the people of tbe Btat? to render it neces:.ary to do more than sagtest his name.
