ryoId, because the Bank had-charged ilegal
Interest 1t was alleged that the Bank had
no right TO exact any per centage for ex-
change in addition TO the legal interest, Of
per cent, allowed by The Banks charter.
Judge Hitchcock delivered the opinion Of
tie court DECIDING, that the contract was
n5t roid by The general La,r, but WAS so By
the special lar of the charter.
The contract was considered to be inad-
.uissable by The charter, and the plaintiffs
therefore lost their case. II is consequent
ly new the settled law of the land, that no
bank has right to demand and receive more
than six per cent interest, nor will bank be
allowed 10 blink or avoid the question bv
charging part as interest and past as CT.
change, where the aggregate amounts 70
more than six per centum per annum.
This is most important decision and
will seriously affect all the Banks in the
State.
The practice has been common in all the
Banks 10 charge per centage for exchange
in addition TO the interest.
The CUurt in delivering its opinion, took
occasion TO re.affirm former decisions, de.
Gliding that contracts between individuals,
where more than legal interest was specified
TO be paid, were good so far as the princi-
pal and legal interest were concerned, but
that the excess could not be recovered.

AMERICAN INGENUITY IN EvADINo THE
LAw.--The very first object of the Ameri-
cans, after law has been passed, is to find
out how they can evade it. This exerci-
ses their ingenuity; and it is very amusing
to observe how clearly they sometimes
manage it. At Baltimore in consequence
of the prevalence of hydrophobla, the civic
authorities passed law, that all dogs
should be muzzed, orrather the terms were
"tAat all dogs should wear a muzzle," or
the owner of a dog not wearing a muzzlc
should be brought up and fined; and the reg
ulation further stated, that any body con-
vcted ofhaving removed the muzzle from
of dog should also be severely fined -
A man, therefore, tied muzzle to his dog S
tail (the act not stating where the muzzle
was to be placed.) One of the city Off
GERS, perceiying this dog with the muzzle at
the wrong end, took possession of the dog
and brought II to the town-hall. Its mas
ter, being well known, was summoned and
appeared. He proved that he complied with
the act, in having fixed muzzle on the
dog, and farther, the city officer having ia
ken the muzzie of the dogs tail, he in
sisted that he should be fined five dollars
for SO doing.-Capt .Maryatfs Diary in

found, than these great inland oceans,
thrown as they are in district of territory
destined, bv the fertility of its soil, the free
dom of its government and the intelligence
of its inhabitants to become the greatest

Although Greut Britain may be Justly
proud Of that enterprise that has dotted the
world with her possessions, until, in the
words of one OF cur statesman, "her morn
ing drum-beat, following the sun and keep
ing company with the hours; encircles the

rather have the glory that arises ftom the

renown that can result from conquered
