such ii situation as would be likely not to
prove injurious to any. For that purpose
they would create proper offic es, define the
duties OF officers, declare upon what amount
OF capital the institution should lie based,
limits It's issues, say what denomination its
notes should be, &C. The terms establish

Lazu Case.-The suits instituted in
Autauga county against the owners of
the steam boat Mobile, for cotton burn
ed upon her IN March, 1881, have lust
been decided in favor of the plaintiffs
The defendants proved the boat to be
.,afe, new and we'll found; and that ev,
care and diligence had been used, and
offered to prove that the accident was
entirely beyond their oontronl and was
considered an txcusable peril within the
meaning of the exceptions contained in
the bill of lading.. But the court re.
jected all such testimony, unless it went
to show, that the loss was occasioned b,
the act of Gid or the Kings enemies
and instructed the jury most positively
that unless there was evidence to show
the fire was the sact Of Cod they must
find verdict for the plaintiffs, which
they did. The amount Of the judg.
ments renderedis between and $4,000.

these disasters, which must have an effect
on many secondary firms, the bankers in
the habit Of discounting commercial bills,
have very much circumscribed their dis

the end of the year. The panic is come
to such pitch. that several of the first

JOHN BELL, the Speaker elect, is an
Ami-Van Buren man, and elected as
such by the voes Of the Wings, combin-
ed with TINT oflhe Anti Van Buren jack
sonmen, and some few others, perhaps
Bell over aud over again to-day, said he
was opposed to Van Buren,. On the
first ballot the great body of the Wings
went for Wilde, but some Of them went
for Bell. Polk was the regular candi-
date, and not Sutherland, as wrote you
yesterday. The Kitchen Cabinet, all,
from Blair and Kendall down, were in
the House to-day, narrowly watching
the balloiiDgs, and all eager that Polk
should be elected. Polk was the Presi-
dents candidate. Sutherland was lun
chiefly by the Newly Yorkers on the first
ballot, on purpose to deceive him, and
10 keep him easy, attempting to make
him believe that he was the regular can-
'didatc. They deserted him at every
balIoting. Wayne would have been e.
1ected by the votes Of the Wings, if he
had not been Van-Buren man. Thus,
yon see, the Kitchen Cabinet has been
routed in the House of Representatives,
the Presidents candidate bcaten-and
the Wings have made Speaker in spite
of the regulars. need not add that
they are highly ela!ed with the victory,
and that they look upon it as an omen of
good promise. Three circumstances C.
lected Bell, all mportant-iirst, that the
Kitchen were against him--second, that
his adversary was the Presidents can
didate--third, sDs that he Is in faror cf
a" U. S. Bank, beliering IN It's consiiiu-
tionality, erpediency, and necessity. On
all this you may rely. How Bell will
preside, | cannot tell. 1t is well known
that he is Jackson man, but he does
not choose to be transferred to Van Bu-
ren. His Introductory speech was very
good, and he is said to be a man of la-
lents.

frivolous pretence of having contraband
