more advantageous to the public than
could have been secured from any other
institution or company of individuals;
while the Bank, by its salutary control,
and its universal extended credit has COM
PEELED the restoration of cash payment,
and furnished currency equivalent, IN
substantial value, to specie throughout
the Union. These have been the ad-
vantages Of the Bank to the nation, while
the individual stockholders have reali-
zed, upon their invested capitals, scarce
ly more than yearly interest Of six per
cent. even including the advance OF
stock at this time in the market. The
circumstance has afforded proof, nothing
short of demonstration, Of the rashness
and folly Of all those projects for the es-
tablishment of new Bank, which have
been presented to Congress, with a lure
of enormous premiums for the grant of a
charter. The subscriber has no doubt
that the destruction of such an establish
ment would be speedy and inevitable,
either by the absorption Of all its profits
to pay the premium, or, by forcing its di-
rection into wild and reckless extent of
business ruinous to the commerce of the
country, not less than to the Bank itself.
+ In considering the expediency Of re-
newing the charter, the subscriber dis
cards all consideration Of the interests or
Wishes-not only Of the President and
directors Of the bank, hut of all the in
dividual stockholders of the corporation.
In the question between chartering a
new corporation, and re-chartering the
old one, if the interests Of individual ad-
venturers are to be considered at all like
opposite quantities in algebra, they an
nul each other. 1t is the public interest
alone that can determine the question,
and in that view alone, the subscriber
would prefer the renewal Of this institu-
Ition to the establishment of another
The present establishment has the ad-
vantage of long experience, and of a
system matured by the acquired know.
ledge many years, and by the correc-
tion of its own errors. The knowledge
has been purchased at no inconsiderable
cost, and a set Of new undertakers would
most probably have to pass through a
similar noviciate. The result of his en-
animation has been an entire conviction,
that, with view to the public interest
alone, the charter Of the bank of the
United States ought forthwith to be re-
newed

NEWPORT.
THURSDAY, MAY 81, 1882.

A large portion Of this days paper is
occupied with extracts from mr.. Adams
very able report upon the United States
Bank. This document is one of mr. AS
best efforts. We wish on his account as
well as from other and higher considera-
tons that the labors Of his powerful mind
had been confined during the present
session of Congress, to the Bank Report
alone. The Report of mr.. Adams as
Chairman of the Committee on Manu-
features, is Of u widely different charac-
ter from that which he made upon the
Bank question. The first does him
great honor,-the other carries upon the
face Of it,marks Of a studied effort OIL the
part ofits author, to effect what it is not
in the power of man to accomplish, the
pacification of our Southern brethren,
without directly sacrificing the best and
dearest interests ofthe whole nation.
We state with much pleasure that our
friends in this part of the State, are in
no wise disheartened at the recent fail
ure to elect Gov. Arnold, and the Ma
tional Republican Senate. The blame
of this result belongs mainly to the anti
masons. We nevertheless hope and
believe that a great majority Of that
party has become sensible that the time
has now arrived when duty requires
them to cast about themselves and re-
view the course they have been running.
New COLLEGE. We learn by an ar
ticle in the Providence Journal Of Mon

embrace a chapel, library, Philosophical

flee is to be constructed of brick, three
stories high, beside the basement--86
feet long and 40 wide. 1t will be placed
in the front yard Of the College, on the
south line, and will, of course, front the
north. The architect is Mr.. Russell
Warren. Laborers are engaged and the
cdilice is 20 be commenced Immediately
A subscription has been commenced
for the purpose Of raising twenty five
thousand dollars--intended to constitute

annually appropriated to the purchase Of
books for the Library, and Of such philo-
sophical and chymical apparatus, as may
from time TO time be required. To this

lowing out the impulses of his noble zeal

MONDAY the most Stitable PAYDAY
MIR. SNowDEs: was much pleased with the

entitled "a Suggestion" Since the hrst Gay
E6f January last. l have made Monday my pay
Gay. inst Saturday, as heretofore ana nave

and sxmalest doubt but have bene-

by IN Z suitable arrangement.
Isbavt [heisure, a, this moment, to enume-
rate one. half OF the advantages connected with
thus change. but will advert 10 one or two OF the
mos, prominent. Whenever labOring men are
habitually prone to indulge freely on Saturday
night or Sunday morning, there is invariably
great reluctance to work on the ensuing Monday:
and have for many years past been persuaded,
that whenever hands could be induced to set IN
on Monday, there would be no difficulty in keep
inc them at work the rest OF the week.
This plan Of paying on Monday is powerful
inducement to every man to be IN his place; anu
IS no I" blue Monday" is kept, the consequence
IL, all are steadily at work the remainder OF the
week. Again: Working men are usually ex-
cessively inconsderate IN spending their money,
when idle; but having none, or very little, on Sa-
turday evening or Sunday, according 70 this
new arraugement,) the temptation TO extrava-
yance is ia measure removed. Thus, many
hard earned dollar is saved, and all the motives
to steadiness aud sohriety begin to act their 'eg
innate snfiuence. Nv men were somewhat dis
posed to murmur when first announced my ln-
teuton to make the Innovation; but Imagine not
more than one has now the smales; desire to alb
ro.ate the new rule.
In years that are past. bad some trouble from
another source, other than that OF keeping men
steadily at work; and that was in suppressng
riots and appeasing quarrels that would arise,
even while the men were busily employed. But

meh-that yillainous DESTROYER of the peace of
individuals and families, { mean ardent spiritsl

The man who first suggested the plan Of sub
stitutng Monday as Payday, deserves well Of
his country and of his fellow men every where:
and trust that many will be induced to adopt this
good plan. Only try it; and If it does not an

Fl Nes Turnpike Projeci.-In revolving thro'
our mind the various improvements likely to
grow out of. or follow. the grand schemes now
in progress towards Harpers Ferry, it has occur.
red TO US that Turnpike from Smokers Ferry
to Charlestown would be productive of great adj
vantage to the farmers residing in one of the
richest settlements in Virginia. This road
would pass througha very fertile wheat country;
and would enable the farmers to avail themselves
OF either the Alexandria or Baltimore market
In addition to this, let then. take into view the
Importance of opening an easy intercourse with
the Coal Market which will soon been established
at Harpers-Ferry. Wood is becoming scarce,
and the necessity Of substituting Coal is now so
apparent, that all argument on the subject would
be deemed utterly superauous.
The exact route Of this road would be regulated
BY the interest Of the stockholders and the public.
Kabletown and Wicklife might be named as
probable points; and the whole distance would
perhaps be IL miles. 1t would pass through re.
gion where the capital (about $40. OO0) might be
subscribed in ten days and we verify believe it
would prove to be one Of the most public roads
in Jefferson. -Cliariesto,rnd ree Press,

PUBLIC LANDS.


Read, and committed to Committee Of the Wide
House tomorrow. H.
Mr.. WIcKuFFE, from the Committee ON tie
Public Lands, to which the subject had been
referred, made the following
REPORT:
Under the order of the House, so much Of
the annual report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury as relates to the public lands, was
referred to the Committee on Public Lands.
The subject has received, by the Commit
fee. that consideration which its importance
deserves. w..
The recommendation Of the Secretary of
= the Treasury upon the subject Of the public
lands, is, that Congress now "decide upon the
propriety of dispesing of all the public lands,
in the aggregate, to those States within whose
territorial limits they lie, at fair price, to be
settled in such manner as might be satisfacto-
ry to all. The aggregate price of the whole
may then be apportioned among the several
States Of the Union according to such equita-
bic ratio as may be consistent with the objects
of the original ccssion, and the proportion Of
each may be paid or secured, directly, to the
others by the respective States purchasing the
land"
The committee are of opinion that any
such disposition, al this time, of the land, and
the distribution Of the proceeds, as recommen-
ded by the Secretary Of the Treasury, would
be inexpedient; that it would paralyze the
growth and prosperity Of the younger States,
If they could be seduced into the purchase at
any price which the older States would deem
reasonable.
The reasons urged by the Secretary of the
Treasury in favor of this disposition of the
public domain, are understood to be, LIST. That
the amount arising from the sales of the pub
lie lands is no longer required in aid of the
revenue for the payment Of the public debt,
and the support Of the Government.
2dly. That such disposition Of the public
lands is we'll calculated to remove all cause OF
difficulty with the General Government and
the States upon the subject of these lands.
The committee are aware that the period
has arrived when the public debt may be CON
Sidered as paid-when the Government will
no longer need an annual revenue derived
from taxation and the sale of the public lands
equal to the average annual amount collected
under the present revenue system.
II becomes the duty Of Congress to reduce
the receipts into the Treasury, from all sour
ces, to the reasonable demands Of the public
service, after the payment Of the nationa
debt. II is duty which ought to be perform
ed at the present session of Congress, and it
prompt discharge is demanded by the highes
Considerations Of patriotism. It ought not, i
cannot, be longer deferred, with justice to th'
country, OF safety to the Government.
