Ex-Cashier, H. M. liuekcr.We heard n few business men who knew whereof they spoke, making an estimate of If. M. Rucker's indebtedness to parties in and around Paris. It footed up about $10,000, not including a debt of several thousand due Richard Buckner, of Lexington. Mr. Rucker was se vert-1 v censured for the abrupt manner in which lie left, and the way he treated many poor darkies who thought they were de-posHing their money in bank, when he really received their money and gave them his plain note of hand. One colored man holds his notes for $1,000, and others for smaller sums. The attachments issued on his property in Rucker-vilie, will not cover one fourth of his indebted ness here. II is clear gain in finances above his expenditures, while in Paris, is calculated to be about $85,000. No oue could spot mi instance where lie ever lost a dollar. Before leaving, he arranged for the board and future wellfare of a favorite dog (which is now hoarding in liuckerville,) and left Hie pitiful sum of $10 for an invalid sister, who had no clothes excepting those on her back, and no place on eartli to poke her head at night or to get a meal in the davtime. II is elm nu'ter as d iscussed on this occasion was one filled with more villi.inv and hypocracy than that of any man probably who ever left the State. The justly outraged citizens promise to make it extremely warm for him if ho ever returns here.
