THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 11, 1878-

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 1L It is f aid that one hundred and fifty failures, Dearly all due directly or indirectly to the stoppage of the City of Glasgow Bnk, have taken place recently in Scotland. Forty of these failures bhow liabilities amounting to one hundred and twenty-fire millions of dollars. It wilt be a long time before we are again entertained with long homilies In British newspapers on the recklessness of the American banking system. Who can tbis be? Bat no! A horrible suspicion crosses oar brain. Can It be oar John thus metamorphosed? A recent Washington dispatch has this U say: I saw, on yesterday, a member from the interior of Indiana, where he bad to depend largely for His support upoa the votes of plain, hoinespon farmer. Tbis member, who hau roughed it with "the boys "daring the campaign, was gotten up in Imitation of gorgeous swell. A shiny silk hat was cocked rer his greased look, his stout figure gasped In atightlyuttlng, closely-buttoned frock cost, while his fat great hand were swollen out of shape In a pair of yellow kid gloves. He also had his moustache carefully waxed, and rattied a light caue against his polished boots with an air of luxury, as he walked along in the cozy sun, wU be were now enjoying the prosperity that he deserved. An noourate photograph of this member as he walked up tne avenue, circulated In his district, would ruin him forever. But who would be so cruel T A sensation in judicial and legislative circles has been created in Virginia by the action of a United State judge, who decides that two negroes on trial there for murder can not "be legally conrioted by an all white jury. The decision is felt to be an unwarranted interference with the sovereignty of the state, and a precedent which, If followed up. will completely nullify state legislation and the action of state courts. The name of the judge who thus eetts to abrogate state sovereignty and centralize power in the United States court is Hives, and he de serves to be clasl with such infamous judges as Bond, D irell end Humphreys men who have frequently disgraced the judicial ermine in the interest of the radical party, and who have therefore gained for themselves a notoriety scarcely less infamous that that which attaches to the English judge Jeffries. We have already alluded to the fact that there was a formidable movement on foot to create a feeling among the radical party that Grant w&3 the only man by whom it was possible for that party to keep itself in power. A confidential communication hs recently been telegraphed to the Chicago Times, which throws more light on this matter. The letter is written from a national bank in New York, and we quote the following interesting items: Now, to be brief, we must give General Grant a series of brilliant reception on nis return from Kurope- Uoveroor Kloe thinks, and we here agree with hlrn, thai the first of thee should bo tendered him by the psoplenf Maatiachusett. The west can easily on led The east musA first be pledged to Grant. Governor Rice and others have arranged a plan for a niaguifloent opeulng of the campaign in Hon ton, and you now have an opportunity to Meoiiry yourself with this iuvement, which, if successful, as it must be, will inure to the benefit of yourself and friends. The letter concludes by tugesting plana to create a fund to carry oat the ideas advanced, and to secure tbe publication of extended die patches in all the newspapers of the country, giving full accounts of the demonstration. There is aleo a suggestion to keep the movement a tccret until just before Grant's return, when it will be given the appearance of a "spontaneous action of 'ibi uinsst s." We wonder what oar webtern radical frieu-Js think of one ehort sentence, which we have quoted in the forpgoiu extract, via, "X be west can easily bj led." . LAW AND TAXATION. The cae of Cotterell vs. the board of county commission? rs and others, is set for trial before Judge Elliott, of the superior court, on the 11th inst. This uue is one of great interest to the public, and the decision of Judge Elliott will be awai'.ed with anxiety. That our readers ma understand the question to be decided, we 'ill state it as briefly as we can: Over a y ar ago the board of county com mi.-M03irs ntracbi with Charles P. Fant t j ay him one-fourth of all the taxes that might b- aid into the county treasury on property which had been omitted from the tax lis', and which waa placed there through his agency. We shall hot discus the question ss to whether or not the commissioners bad the legal riglt to make such a contract, as it is one to be decided by the court, but we will take the liberty of raying that if such a mle is to be allowed, it will be well for the legislature to abolish the offices of aseepsor and auditor and have the assessing of the revenue and the preparation of the tax books let out by contract. These things can be done for a lets sum thau onefourth the revenuo derived from taxation. It Is the duty of the a&sebsor to assess the properly liable to taxation, make out lists of the same and return them to the county auditor; from these lists it is the duty of the auditor to mite out the tax duplicates and deliver them to the county treasurer. It is the duty of the treasurer to collect the taxes ch-ged on these duplicates, aud it is his further duty to asses any property liable to taxation which has been omitted from the duplicates through mistake or otherwise. For all these duties the law fixes certain fees which are supposed to be a sufficient equivalent for the work. Now, should the assefsjr fal to assess the property liable to taxation; should the auditor fail to put upon the tax duplicates the property returned to him by the ae9or, or should the treasurer neglect or rtfu e to assets that which corues 'o his knowledge ss having been improperly Uft off the tar bks, these officer? would be liable, on tbeir official toads, for the damage done by such failura. Then, why the necessity for employing a special agent to do the work that the law requires should be done by them? If sucb an agent be employed bis compensation should be paid, not by the public, but by the official who has bceu derelict in his duties. In the Hit prepared by Sir. Fant, and certified to b cornet by Treasurer Ilanway, Is charge for placing upon the tax duplicate the property of the Franklin Insurance Company, upon which that company has

paid 'he county $348 43, being two payments of $174.24 each. Mr. Fant asks the county to pay him fees in this case, and Mr. Hanway certifies- that Fant is entitled to the tees. Mow, let us see if be is. even under his extraordinary contract with the county commissioners. " - The Sentinel bas information from a source which it has no hesitation in saying is entirely reliable, that the facts in the case of the Franklin Insurance . Company t are as follows: - '..- t k The company made out at the proper time and delivered to . the assessor a list of its property subject to taxation. When its bookkeeper went to pay the taxes last spring he discovered that the' company was not listed with all the property it owned. He so stated to one of Mr. Hanway's deputies, and requested that the tax list which he bad himself prepared might be hunted up and the proper correction made. Mr. Charles Fant, who was present, and seemed to be acting for the treasurer, went to the auditor's office and got the list, and a description of the property, shown by it t bs missing from the tax book, was put upon the duplicate and the taxes upon It paid. For collecting this money Mr. Ilanway was paid the legal fee, and as it was his duty to make the assessment we can see no reason why Mr. Fant or any other prson should gobble one fourth of the money so paid into the county treasury. We have no knowledge that any other portion of the money which Mr. Fant charges fees upon was voluntarily paid into ths treasury, but it is reasonable to infer that a portion of It was. Other persons whom he charges with having been derelict in their duty to the state nay bave done as the Franklin Company did, and if so, and they will le the Sentinel know it. the information wiilgotatae public' And it may be well for Judge Elliott to Inquire if there be any such cases. If every county treasurer In the state is to keep a man Friday about his office to levy toll upon the taxes voluntarily paid by the people, we Lope the charges will be less thau are t bos j of Mr. Fant. Twenty-five percent is one quarter of the whole, and it does seen to us that the thing might be done for a fraction less. Don't you really think it could br, Mr. Fant? CLIPPING.

UrEBAKY MOfS. The North American Review Is one of the best of our exchanges, and a welcome visitor to the table of the literary editor. It is published by D. Appleton fc Co., of New York, and is furnished to subscribers for $5 per year. We have received from the author, James MUleson, M. D., a rare work entitled "The Embryonic System of Nature." We have not had the opportunity of reading the work, but propose, after eiving the subject proper attention to make an extended notice. The Sunday Afternoon, published at Springfiild, Mas?., has attained a front rank in the periodical literature of the day, and is a welcome visitor to our literary table. Its contents are always bright and readable, and choice extracts from the work are notun frequenily published In the Sentinel, as our readers probably know. It ou?ht to find a place at every cultured fireside. The Popular Science Monthly, published by D. Appleton & Co... of New York, is an instructive and valuable journal, and, as a consequence, is continually increasing in circulation. It contains inHruotive and in teresting articles and abstracts of article?, original, selected, atid illustrated, from the pens of the leading scientific men of different countries, and is sent to subscribers for $5 per annum, or fifty cents per number. Nothing can well exceed the taste and ele gmce displayed in some of the holiday books or the Feawn. "The little Chatterbox," published by IL Worthington, 750 Broadway, almost deserves to rank at a work of art. It is printed on thick, polished paper, in large handsome type. The letter press is on the left hand page, giving an explanation of the admirably executed wood cut on the opposite side. The pictures, the paper, the readug and the binding seem to have formed a conspiracy to make a book as beau lift! as it is entertaining, which every child will long for, and which all who get will be delighted with. The Tile Club at Work," is the title of a paper in the forthcoming (January) Scrib ner, descriptive of the origin and life of one of tbe New York outgrowths of decorative art. The society, which is composed largely of artists, has uo organization, is largely social in character, but does serious professional work. Among the illustrations are a tiled ruantfl piece, by K. A. Abbey, a tile in relief, by O'Donovan, the sculptor, and tiles or sketches, by W. M. Chase. Wimoridge, Reinhart, Homer, Hopkiuson Smith, Laflan, Weir, Quartley, and others. A secoud paper, "The Tile Cluo at Play," will appear in the February number, and will be illustrated In a similar manner. SL Nicholas, which hi j of late been ming ling with its lighter elements a good many realistic articles conveying wholesome teac'iiiK or practical information, will, in its Christmas it sue, aim at giving the young folk a full btore of tun ai d aaiueenieai nttod to tbe merry holiday lime. To this end, the editor has secured an unusual number of fairy stories. Mrs. Fanuie Ilixi-Ofj liarntU, author of "That Liss o' Lorte's," ni l contribute a long fairy tal. "Behind the White Brick," written : originally far some little friends of her, but never before printed. Julian Hawthorne, too. enters for the first time tbe field of children's literature, with the opening installment of a lon fairy story entitled "Ruiupty Durtgei'a Tower." In addition to these suiive shorter fairytales are announced for tbe number, aud several of the other contributions will toutain touches of the fairy elemsnt, as in Mrs. Djdge's story of "Wondering Tom." Tbe proprietors of Appleton's Journal announce that they will Leuccforth devote it exclusively to literature of a high order of excellence, by writers of acknowledged standing. It is tbe growing habit of the leading minds in ell countries to contribute tbeir best intellectual work to the magazines and reviews; and, iu order that Appleton's Journal may adtquately reflect the intellectual activity ot the time tuus expressed, its proprietors announce that they will admit to its pages a selection of the more noteworthy critical, speculative, and pro gressive papers that come from tbe pens of -hebe writers. Fiction will still occupy a place in the Journal, acd de.-criptive papers will appear; but large place will b given to articles bearing upon literary and art topics, t discussions of soc'al ai.d political progress, to papers addre std distinctly to the intellectual tastes of tbe public, or devoted to subjects in which the public welfare or public culture i concerned. Tne subscription price of the Journal is $3 per annum. TL. Worthington & Co., of New York, announce the publication of a volume of "Famous Stories," by well known and celebrated authors. Among them are: "The Avenger." by De Quincy; ' Peter Goldthwite's Treasure," by Hawthorne; "Love and Skates," by Theodore Wimbrop; "The Defaulters." by Thomas Hood; "Coldstream." by Herbert Vaughan; ' The Scotman's Tale," ty Harriet Lee; and other tile quite as excellent and entertaining. The volume is beautifully illustrated by Nast, Sol Eyiiuge, Lunilty, Perkins, W. L. oheppard aud other superior artists. Toeoe tales are the cameos of lite rary art, and are admirably suikd to the present growing ta&te for short stories of superior excellence. Tbe importance of gathering these exquisite literary treasures in a collection easily accessible and tastefully illustrated, will be fully appreciated by all lovers of the bet reading. "Madonna," by Henry Spicer, is a most pathetic and touching tale, aud ''Love and States," is enough to keep the memory of the lamented Wimbrop forever green. The frequent issue and well-filled pages of Llttell's Living Age enable it to present with a freshness and completeness nowhere eUe attempted, the ablest essays and reviews, the choicest aeiial and khort aioriep, tbe most interesting sketches of travel ai.d discovery, tbe bett poetry, and the tuo t valuable biographical, bUtorica', scientific and political information, from tbe entire body of foreign peilod cal literature, and from the p-ns of the foremr st writers. la short, tbe Living Ave is tbe only satisfactorily com plete cocptndinm of lbs best current liter Miure literature which is now richer tba-o ever before in the woik of tbe ablet writer noon 6ll topics of interest. It gives to American readeri, at small expense and in ouuveniebt form, what is ot Immediate Interest or permanent va'm in this literature, and is therefore invaluable to alt wbo would keep abreast with the newest discoveries, ot

science, tbe latest phases of thought, and the best literary work of the day. An extra offer, made by the publishers to all Dew subscribers for 1879, is worthy of note, viz., to send them gratis tbe six numbers of 1878, which contain, with other valuable matter, the first parts of "Sir Gibbie," a new aerial ttory of much interest, by George MacDonaid. Tbe subscription price of the magazine ($3 a year), is cheap, considering its weekly issue and its more than three and a quarter tnousand large paes of reading matter a year, an amount of reading unapproached by any other periodical; while the publishers make a still cheaper offer, viz., to send Tbe Living Age and either one 'of the American $1 monthlies or weeklies, a rear, both postpaid, for $10.50; thus furnishing to the subscriber at email cost the cream of both home and foreigu literature. The remarkable success of Tbe Living Age is well attested by the fact that on the 1st of January it begins its one hundred and fortieth volume. ' '

THE SILVER QUESTION, by George M. Weston. New York: I. ts. Homans, publisher, 1878. vo. pp. 800. In this volume the author discuises the nature ' of metalio standards, the effect of a single standard on the volume of money, and the views urged in favor of the absolute superiority of the gold standard. He considers and combats tbe theory that the adoption of a gold standard by Europe compels its adoption in the United S'.ates, and presents a history of the demonetization of silver in this country. Mr. Weston is a strenuous advocate of the 'free coinage of silver by the United States, and argues the importance of this measure to the producers of exportable agricultural staples. lift discusses, also, the European situation and the recent conference. There are appended a number ot papers which treat of the legal tender power of silver, the effects of its demnnetisatin, the disastrous results of diminishing money and filling prices, and of various other topics which bear opon the questions at issue and tbe arguments advanced. In his treatment of the silver question Mr. Weston avoids statistics, as well as dry historical references, which are to be studied in sucb works as that of Jacobs on tbe precious metals, as well as tbe later reports of the British and the United States Silver Commissions. As secretary of tbe latter, Mr. Weston has earned prominence for bis ability in research and investigation. In the present woik, he presents in a clear and vigorous manner the claims of tbe bi metallits of this country for the full restoration of silver as the peer and complement of gold as money. A RHORT niSTORY OF FRANCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. By Miss E. S. Kirkland. Chicago: Jansen, McCiurg & Co. Price, 1 50. This little work is unusually creditable, since it gives in a condensed form the promicent historical features of a great country and a marvelous people. The author has the rare faculty of never forgetting her audience in her theme. She makes enter aining the most uninteresting topics, and unravels acd makes comprehensible the most intricate portions of her story. Her descriptions are vivid, accurate, and in some places positively strong, so tbat tbe book is interesting to even the dullest reader. Miss Kirkland clones her history with the following observations: Now we have followed the haps and mtebaps during a thousand years of a great nation a loyal, brave, devoted, gen-rou people. Often we have Meen them obedient when they should have resisted. anl sometiraiH resisting wh n liiey should have obeyed.

THE MAN WHO TRAMPS A story of today. By Prot-jvsor Iye O. Harris. Dealing with the tramp question.. The story is made a vehicle to carry on an argu rueot upoa this interesting and important topic in our political and civil economy. The book is now in press, and will be- issued in about four weeks. It will be for sale at all book stores. Tbei urant Muveiuout . The fact that a roovemeut is on ' foot to give General Grant a series of brilliant receptions iu eaetern cities, on bia return from Europe, is juit ma le public, though it was intended to keep it from tbe public for a while loDger, until arrangements were more thoroughly perfected. He wil'. arrive by the Amr em line at Philadelphia and, if tbe present urog-amme is carried out, afteran in lormal we. come there, will come direct to Boston, to attend tbe first of tbe reries of re-, cepttons. Every effort is making to keep the political element in the background acd to give tbe reception an entirety noo-politl-, cal appearance. To this end efforts are making to interest leading and foremost citizens, without regard to party, in each city lu the movement. In Boston it is said that tbe committee of arrangements will include tbe beat citizens, some of them strong aoti Grant men, so far as the presidency is concerned. Among other features wiil be a grand ball. It is intended to invite the marqma-of Lome and tbe Princess L uise to be present, and it is believed they will .rue, as. the former is said to bave expressed a desire to meet the general in Lis own country. Following tbe Button reception will come tbe New York and Philadelphia reception.. Those who aplear u be informed in the matter, and who believe tbat there is more of politic behind the movement than is admitted, say that Btnn is chosen as the firs; place ofrecep lion because here Grant bai found some of bis sharpest critics, and tue third term no aid or comfort. It is argued tbat the effect of a fcuccevful recep'ion in that city the social event of the aeaion, under tbe management of the Brahmins would ba great throughout the country, and with others following in New York aud Philadelphia, eet Grant on the tract in good eijle. Whether or not the suspicion that politics. ia behind tae movement is well grounded, it in undoubtedly thj fact tbat sjme of the Uiitou gontlemen interesting themselves ia the movement are not acting to advance political ecbtines.
