comply with this requisition, be compelled
to wind up their affairs, for the benefit of
their creditors and stockholders.
The Legislature should retain by express
provision, the power of altering, amending
| or repeating bank charters at pleasure
This salutary check would compel the
banks to attend to the wants of the people,
and the representatives of the people
would never exercise the right, unless the
public good imperiously demanded theirin-
terposition. An examination of the char
ters of the various banks in the Union, will
show that the power of repeating charters
is expressly reserved in several of the
States, and never has been exercised, ex-
cept in cases where gross frauds and mis-
management in the affairs of the bank has
been conclusivelyshown.
If | am correct in the principle, that
bank charter is grant of privileges which
the corporation cannot transcend, without
incurringa forfeiture, it will be found prov
en-, on an inspection of the report of the
bank commissioners, that all the banks ex-
amined have exceeded their powers, by
engaging in the purchase and shipment of
CotCoH. IL C DuuhS uOt OAdIliUeu nave puT-
sued the same course. In point of fact,
the banks have taken the place of the
commission merchant; time alone can de-
termine whether this policy will result in
favor either of the banks or the planters:
should cotton advance, few complaints will
be heard, but should it remain at its pre-
sent price or recede in foreign markets,
the murmurs of the growers pcIuss.sRs-
SAINT, and'the whole system soon explode.
The only excuse on the part of the banks
for dealing in cotton, is the tyrant's plea
NECESSITY! 1t is used to Justify every
abuse of power and every assumption of
authority. The Legislature is the sole
Judge of the necessity; if they deem il
advisable, they can sanction the conduct
OF the banks. As a temporary expedien.
It may, perhaps answer; but it would b.
dangerous to continue the power long ie
the hands of corporations, of controllinn
and selling the great staple of the coung
try.
In conclusion, suggest to the Legisla-
ture, the propriety of taxing the stock of
all banks and other corporations in this
State; those excepted, which are compel
led to construct rail roads.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCES.

The following is an extract from letter
to gentleman in this city dated Louis
vile, Jan. 5, 1888, which has been polite
ly handed us for insertion.
81 have just returned from viewing an
awful scene, the most awful and revolving
that my eyes ever beheld. About 2 O'Clock
this day whilst standing in the door of
Hord and Gray's store, we heard the report
of fire arms, land upon hurrying to the spot
in company with DIR. Miller, ]. s. Cheno-
with and DIR. Heran, we found the Treas
urer of the Mechanics Savings Institution,
Mr.. Julian, coming out of the Bank covered
with blood. In an instant crowd had ga
thered at the place, and the general cry
was raied, robbers! robbersj We hurried in
to the bank and there found two ded men
weltering in their blood, Que Mr.. parker.
Clerk Of the Bank. the other the robber. a
Capt. Dix, formerly Clerk in the house
of Buchanan a. Gray, and lately steam
boat Captain. 1t seems from the state
ment of Mr.. Julian, who is badly wound
ed with the cancelling hammer, but will
probably recover, that when he returned
from dinner tho door was locked. He
knocked and was admitted by Capt. Dix.
who was OH terms of close intimacy with
Parker. Dix struck at him with the ham,
mer, scuffle ensued, Julian retreated be-
hind the counter, where he found Parker
dead. Alarmedgreatly, he struck Dixwith
a chair and effected his retreat into the
street much hurt.
Dix now finding that he would betaken
blew his own brains out with pistol he
held in his hand. Upon examination it
was found that Parker had been killed
with the cancelling hammer, and no noise
being made Dix undertook to rob the bank.
but finding the keys, which were in the
possession of Julian, he concluded to re-
main, kill Julian and then effect his pur-
pose. He failed to get money in conse-
quence Of Julian's escape to the street
before he had succeeded in completing his
bloody work No other news of impor-
tance." Vicksburg Register.

Tbo To,,;s..:n- -r~-'"af lmaglnes Mr.. hives
to be the author of a private letter from this
city, recently made public by the Richmond
Enquirer.
Whether Mr.. Rives was the author Of the
letter or not is matter of Indifference to u.s.
If he was, we saw nothing in it justifying the
severe and singularly unjust animadversions
of the editor Of the Louisville Journal. That
Senator was elevated to his seat by the free
election Of the people of Virginia. So long
as he retains it, he will discharge his duty
conscientiously, without fear, or hope of ia
vor. The few who have taken stand
against the general war upon state institutions,
and agains, the enlargement Of Executive pa
tronage, have hazarded much in party point
Of view, and expect only the approval Of their
own consciences.' Iftheir patriotic efforts are
to be opposed and defeated by both Wings
and Loco-focos, they, at least, will not share
the general fate Of Sodom and Gomorrah, nor
be answerable to posterity for the consequent
ces. The Louisville Journal is entirely
mistaken in its uncourteous suggestions.

PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION OF THE
TREASURY BONDING SYSTEM.

Tho late Mr.. Simpson, President of the
Commonwealth Bank Of Boston, was United
States pension agent. Those agents are re-
CURED to give bonds with penalties fixed by
the discretion of the Secretary Of the Treasu-
ry. Mr.. Simpsons bonds are. stated to have
been in the sum Of $4,000. We understand
that the pension fund in his possession, at
the time Of his death was 100000. The
papers have stated that his affairs were much
involved in the failure Of the Commonwealth
Bank and that his estate is indebted TO that
bank about 100000. As United States
claims have preference, it is possible that the
Government will ultimately lose nothing. But
ifthe statement we have made be true, land
the facts will appear in the report ofthe Sc
cretary of the Treasury, now nearly ready,)
it presents very forcible practical argument
against the policy Of employing individual
agents as keepers of the public money.

a QUESTION.

Il 10 well known, that many Of the present
advocates and supporters Of the Sub-ireasury
scheme in Congress, disapproved Of the mea-
sure and openly declared their hostility to the
plan, previous 10 lis having been recommend
ed in the message of the Executive Chief
Magistrate, at the late extra session. Soon
thereafter, some Of the same gentlemen were
seen in the foremost ranks Of its advocates
sustaining the measure by vehement appeals
TO the people, sent forth from the halls Of the
Capitol.
We should like TO know, in case the same
measure had originated with and been brought
forward by Mr. Calhoun, or even by Col.
Benton, whether it would have found as
many TO give it support, as there now are,
Ut being an Executive measure,) even at the
sacrifice and abandonment Of their own con-
sciencious opinions.
IL has ever been held that republican go
vernment, is one created and sustained solely
by opinion. That opinion we have always
been led to suppose, was understood to be
expressed by the People, and was to be an
undertaking guide to their rulers. But if the
expression Of the mere wishes of those rulers
can exert an influence, at any time, of such
commanding force as to induce those who re-
present the people, to abandon the opinions
formed on their own judgment, and become
passive instruments, in registering Executive
edlcts and recommendations, then we must
candidly admit, that we have yet to learn the
principles on which republican government is
founded
