The BANKs.-We have already stated
the acceptance Of the new Charter by the
Bank of Virginia and the Farmers Bank.
Both of these institutions have determined
10 apply for relief from some o. the oner-
GUS provisions ofthe act and we trust
the influence OF reason and common sense
will render their application successful.
The following is the resolution adopted
by the Stockholders of the Bank of Vir-
ginia -
ResOlred, That in the opinion of the
Stockholders, several of the restrictions Of
the amended charter Of the Bank of Viz
glnia, now accepted by them, are mani
testify injurious to the interests of the
Stockholders, and of the community gen.
orally, and that the Stockholders have
beer influenced to accept the said Char.
ter by a confident expectation entertained
by them that the General Assembly of
Virginia will consent to a material modi.
hcatlon of SAID restrictions and that
John Br%ockenbrough, J.. A. Chandler, J..
W. Pegram, Hugh Mercer and Chiswell
Dabney, be therefore appointed a Com
mlttee TO memorlalize the next General
Assembly IN behalf of the Stockholders,
Tor such an amendment OF their Charter as
may be dsemed expedient and proper; and
that the said Committee be authorized to
confer with the Committees of the Legis-
lature to whom this memorial may be re.
terred."
The Compiler says The Stockholders
OF the Farmers Bank of Virginia, at the
late General Meeting, accepted the pro.
visions OF the act extending the charter
ana increasing the capital but to express
their sense Of the evil tendency of the
new restrictions introduced into the char.
ter, they passed a resolution, direct
ing a memorial to be presented to the
General Assembly for relief. Their OBJ.
Ject will be to have the law so amended
as that the community at large may not
be deprived of the important facilities
heretofore derived from the Bank. and
that the Stockholders may be allowed a
tar profit on their capital. Every int.
rest IN the State, and the whole STATE, is
undoubtedly interested not only in con-
tinulng the Banking facilities hitherto en-
Joyed, but in charging them so that they
may be commensurate with the increased
n increasing activity ofour agriculture,
commerce and manufactures. And as

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania lately decided an
important case, in which the question was
raised, whether the goods of a boarder,
in a boarding house, are liable for the
tenants rent" The plaintiff had been q
lodger in a house, let as a boarding house,
in which he occupied two rooms furnish.
ed with his own furniture of the usual
amount and character, and in which he
took breakfast and tea dining elsewhere.
For these accommodations he paid a sta
ted sun per week. The tenant, his land.
lady, failing to pay her rent on the day
appointed, her landlord dlstralned the
plaintiffs furniture, to recover which,
this suit was brought.
In the court below the verdict had been
in favor of the landlord, and an appeal
taken to the Supreme Court. The Chief
Justice, in delivering the opinion of the
court, declared, that this case fell within
a principle already established, that for
the benefit of trade, a thing put upon rem
ted premises by a customer in the way
of a tenants business, is privileged from
distress; and after proving, in opposition
to the statements of some text-writers,
that the ground of this exemption was, in
all cases public convenience and policy,
he showed that there was no difference
in this respect between the present case
and any Of those in which the exemption
was admitted, nor more especially be-
tween the case Of an Inn, where confess.
eddy the goods Of a guest are not subject
to distress for the tenants rent. The
tone of the opinion, which was OF some
length, was restrictive Of the right Of dis
tress and the effect Of the decision will
be, 20 increase the security, with which
an individual may occupy premises rem
ted by another, by rendering him indie
pendent of the improyidence or Irregular
ity of the person under whose roof he
chances to be a boarder.

SAVE YOUR FIvE-DoLLAR NoTEs.--By
the acceptance ofthe new charter, the
two old Banks in this city are forbidden
to issue or reissue notes under the de-
nomination of Ten Dollars. All fve-dol.
lar bills, therefore, paid into the Bank from
which they originally issued, will be re-
tanned, and not again put in circulation.
This will produce serious Inconvenience
to the public, which, can only be obyiated
by payments being made in notes of other
Banks than the one to which the debt is
due. Let notes to the Virginia Bank, for
instance, be paid to-day in bills of the
Farmers Bank, and, on Thursday, let
payments to the latter be made in notes
o! the former-and thus the small bills
will be kept ahoat. This is the only
remedy at present for absurd legislation.

THURSDAY, JUNE 10. 1889.


We have this week been at some trouble to pre-
pare a tabular view Of the next General Assembly
and also a list Of the members elect to the Goth
Congress. BY our table, it will be perceived that
parties stand in the next Legislatare-Wligs II,
Conservatives II, Loco Focos rs.
The late contest is one of the most singular that
has ever been presented to our yiew-EAcH PAR
TY BEING SATISFIED With THE RESULT. The old
PontifeE Ndzimus Of the Locos-Hitchie-has
been figuring away Justify since the issue was ascer-
tanned and BY means Of some strange calculations,
has ascertained that Mr.. Riyes cannot be elected
to the u. s. Senate; and therefore, that has party
has come off victorious As if, forsooth, the con-
test turned wholly upon the question Of Mr.. Riyes's
election. If this be your claim to victory, we say
wear your laurels
The Wings, on the other hand, are satisfied with
the result, because it has been demonstrated, that
Mr.. Van Buren, is not the fayorite of Virginia, that
the Sub-Treasury is dead in this State, thai a Lo-
co Foco U. S. Senator cannot be chosen next win
ter, and that the unterrifed Old Dominion has ram
gcd herself with her associates of '76, to do battle
in the approaching Presidential contest-a contest
not less important than that of the Revolution in
as much as the perpetuity of our Republican insti-
tutions depends nor upon the success of the Wing
cause; as then, did their establishment

THE NEXT CoNGREss.-The election
IN Virginia being over, we can now form
a pretty fair estimate of the probable
complexion Of the next House of Repre-
sentatives. Members of the House have
been chosen in eighteen States, in which
have been elected ninety.one Wings and
ninety Loco Focos. In the last House,
there were from the same States seventy .
three Wings ond one hundred and six

We understand that MIR. FRANCIS THOMAS, re-
ceived the no %mination, for Congress, of the Van
Buren, Convention, which assembled on Friday last,
at Ilagerstown, Nd. The papers of that town
contain a card from Col. %FlTzHueH, announcing
himself as a candidate for Congress. The Colonel,
though a yanite. is less e~ceptionable than Mr..
Thomas; and if the Wings do not bring out a can
didate oftheir own-which, by ali means they ought
to do-he will, we presume, receive their support.

had been elected to fill that Office, but was forced
to resign, in consequence Of ilI-health. MIR. Betts's
talents are said to be of a high order in politics,
he is a decided Whig.

ISDIANA.-The election for members Of Con.
gress, will take place in this State in August next.
The Indiana delegation consists of seven members
and from the spirit manifested by the friends of or
der and the constitution throughout the State, we
anticipate a signal defeat to the Locos, in the CO.
ming contest. In the last Congress, the friends Of
the Administration could boast OF but one Repre-
sentative out of the seven the Wings, at this ap-
preaching election, expect to make a clean sweep.
The following gentlemen compose the Wing tick
et:-Geo II. Profit, John Ewing, VIM. Graham,
George H.. Dunn, james Rariden, Martin NJ. Ray,
William Herod, Thomas ]. Evans; in opposition
to whom. the Vanites have brought out John w.

rected to make, will add greatly 10 her
already great interest in the institution, it
cannot be supposed the Legislature will
hesitate to admit Of alterations demanded
alike by the general interest and the Just
claims Of the Stockholders, the State and
her citizens.
The following is a copy of the resolu-
ton:
Whereas the Stockholders entertain
many, and as they believe, well founded
objections to the laws whose provisions
they have this day accepted (; regarding
the same as likely unduly to diminish the
capacity Of the Bank to advance the pub
lie interest, and to deprive the Stockhold-
ers Of a reasonable profit on their capital,
yet confidIng in the paternal care Of the
General Assembly to modify the provis.
ions of any law, which injurously affects
them, and along with them the Common
wealth as their co-partner, to a large a.
mount, as well as the general interest,
they have accepted the said laws, relying
on the General Assembly to modify the
same in the several particulars IN which
their operation would be injurious--there.
fore,
ReSolred, That a Committee be appoint
ed TO present a memorial to the General
Assembly, in the behalf Of the Stockhold-
ers, soliciting relief in the premises, and
TO confer with any Committee that may
be appointed by the Legislature for the
~consideraiion of said memoriaI
The Committee will consist Of the Pre-
sident of the Bank and six Others"

HE CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL
CoMPANY.-The Stockholders Of this
Company assembled in general meeting
on Monday, when the President and Di-
rectors presented their eleventh Report,
after which, the following gentlemen
were elected President and Directors for
the ensuing year: Francis Thomas.

Phineas Janney, John j. Albert, James
Carroll, Jacob q. Davis, Joseph White.
This is a clear sweep with the excep-
ton of two) Of the old board of President
and Directors. The change was effect.
ed by the large vote of the State of Ma.
ryland.
We belive it but justice to Mr.. Wash
ington, late President of the Company,
to say, that he made a very valuable and
efficient othcer-and that he will be par
ted from with regret.
We wish the new President and Board
OF Directors every success in the prose-
cutlon of the work, and shall give them
our hearty support in all their efforts for
It's advancement and prosperity, and for
the advancement of the interest of the
stockholders. The new members Will
find in the two old members ofthe Board
who remain with them, gentlemen whose
experience will aid them in the com.
mencement and prosecution of their la.
bors, and we trust that every thing may
move on satisfactorily and tremendously.
