The Madison Courier alludes to a certain /" fair
business transaction between the Bank at the Deep
Diggings," and two distinguished members of the
Legislature, during the Internal Improvement Era,
and while Marshall in the House. We meant to
have Investigated this affair while giving the History
of the System in 1913 but the chapters suspen
ded after the August election of that year, and we have
never had favorable opportunity to renew them
The Courier says:


SIT is claimed that he (MarshalD was opposed to
internal improvements. We deny this, and call upon
the older citizens of Jefferson county to bear out in
the assertion, that he a warm advocate Of the
system = sometimes TO tears. If we recollect
arght Mr. Marshall was in the Legislature when the
"Survey Bill" passed, and of its supporters
The next year the Internal Improvement Bill passed
Mr.. Marshall, however, not there to vote for it,
having been defeated at the previous August election
The following year he again elected to his seat
and at that session Of the Legislature, and subse-
quently it has been charged that ttco influential
berS treacherOus their constituents in voting
favor Of what were then familary termed I" Deep
Diggins," and we have heard any other reason
assigned, except that each got accommodation at
our Bank for TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOL
LARS: the present Wing candidate for Gorernor
being kind enough to endorse their notes. By referring
to Mr.. Palmers Bank report it appears one has been
long under protest and neither paid SURELY
THERE Is SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DEN
MARK"


This unequvocal imputation published by the
Courier on the 18th of June. But up to this time
neither Mr.. Marshall his press here at Madison
has venured to call in question 1t is the best way
perhaps, for them all to get along with it. Some
times, least said Is soonest mended.
