The State Debt.

The Indianapolis News, in referring to our explanation of the State debt bill, and its effect on the two and a half per cent. State stocks, says: "The State did lose a good deal by the provisions of that bill. She had outstanding stocks of two kinds, one bearing five and the other two and a half per cent, interest. It was optional with her which was redeemed first. By the clever munipulatlon of a distinguished gentleman from Knox county the bill, which originally provided for the redemption of the five per cents, was altered so as to provide for the payment of the two and a half per cents first, and they were paid first. They could just as well have been paid last, and it was to the interest of the State and the taxpayers that they should be, for a large

would then have been saved in interest." Evidently the editor of the News knows what he is writing about, and we therefore feel doubly desirious to carefully consider what he has to say. The trouble with the State debt of Indiana is, that so many persons hazard opinions in relation to it, without having first fully examined all the circumstances connected with it. The editor of the Nevjs states the only possible case, where the "State Debt Bill" could have'been altered so that the State could have saved something, and that is, to have paid the two and and a half per cents last. A provision of that kind in the bill, would most certainly have saved a few dollars to the State. But would it have been houorable to have placed it there? Would it not have been disgraceful in the Legislature of the State, to have resorted to such Wall street financiering? After a little reflection, we think the editor of the News 'will come to the conclusion that it would. But suppose there had been no priority in payment given either to the two and a half or the five per cents., but both had remained in the bill on the same footing as to redemption, would the State have thus saved anything? Probably a little— possibly not a dollar. In this case the holders of the two and a half per cents, would have rushed to the agency and demanded the payment of their stocks, while those who held the five per cents, would not have been so eager, but would have desired to hold theirs as long as possible, from the fact that a stock, so well securod, and drawing five per centum per annum, was about as good an investment as could be made. The fact is, this very tiling did occur, and the Agent of State, before he could get in all the five cents, had to give notice that the interest on the same would stop from a certain date, and thus forced the owners to present them at the Agency for redemption.

Thus it will be readily seen, had the State determined to first pay her stocks drawing five per centum per annum, she might have saved some money, but would have shadowed her honor and integrity. But had she determined to make no difference as to the time of payment between these two classes of stocks, in all probability not one dollar would have been saved, and the State would have done a mean thing.

With this article we dismiss this subject, again asserting what we said in a former article, that if the people of this State ever lost one single farthing by reason of our connection with the State Debt Bill, and its passage by the Legislature, if some Iudianapolis arithmetician will calculate the sum, we will "fork over" the amouut "over-drawn."

Particulars of the Murders of the Students. NEWYOKK, December 4.—Havanalet tersof the 28th give the details of the troubles there, and the execution of the the eight students, showing that the ouly desecration to the grave of Castauon consisted in breaking the glass cases covering niche of the tomb, aud substituting wreaths of garlic instead of immortelles. At the court-martial the Chaplain stated it was a students' frolic, and did not deserve severe sentences, but the clamors ot the volunteers over-ruled everything else, and eight were condemned to death, eleven sentenced to six years in theehain gang, nineteen to four years in thesamegung, four to six months

imprisonment,

and two were liberated.

The sentences were immediately executed those murdered not being allowed an hour's respite to see their friends. The volunteers raided through the streets all day, shooting eight Cubans. Business was entirely suspendended, aud quiet only partially restored after the execution. The s-t idents were all quite young, mere boys, but met their death bravely iu the presence of an immense throng. Their parents offered large sums of money to save them: the father of one offering one million dollars, but all were in vain. The Captain General, Valmazeda, was absent at the time, but fully sanctioned the murders on his return. The authorities appear perfecly impoteut in the presence of the volunteers.

It is said that if a puff of air were to be blown into a vein of an animal, death would instantaneously follow, because circulation would be stopped. The blood makes the entire circuit of the human body every seven minutes, and whenever this circulation is impeded or any of its channels are clogged by impurities which ought to be carried off, disease follows-'-fever oi a disorder of liver or kidneys, or scrofula, or dyspepsia.

A CHALLENGE!

Our citizens are familiar with the claims put forth by certain of our competitors to being the ''Leading House," "The Great Headquarters,'' the "Chief Emporium," £c. Some go so far as to assert in so many words, that their sales are larger than any other Dry Goods house in the city.

WE PROPOSE TO TEST THE QUESTION!

We believe our sales, even in our store before it was enlarged, and when we were

badly crippled for room, far exceeded those of any single Dry Goods establishment in town. Now, owing to the splendid addition made to our store, which gives us, in our three floors and basement, much the largest Dry Goods and Carpet Establishment in

this section of the State, we have ample room for doing an immense trade, and for

the accommodation of all our customers. Our recent sales, we believe, are

Greater than tliose of Any Two Other Dry Goods Houses

We prepose to test the question by challenging any two of our competitors to com

We propose to show this community that in spite of the fact that every one of the Dry Goods merchants of this city are combined against us, and in most instances do

not scrapie to employ means, however unworthy, to injure our trade, we are still so

grandly supported in our warfare upon high prices by the people, that our sales have increased sa rapidly as now to be, we believe, Greater than the Sales of any Two of

our Competitors Combined Now, gentlemen, walk up and "toe the mark," or else admit you DARE NOT make the comparison of sales asked for. In the latter case do not let us hear anything more about your "Leading Emporiums" and "Great Headquarters."

Our Great Opening Sale Continued
