DISTRICT or COLUMBIA BANKS,

lii addition TO the very interesting iniorma-
ton on the subject of the Banks OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia, we are now enabled to
state that the bill which Congress Was pleased
graciously 10 pass for enabling all the banks Of
this District to apind up, received the sigma
ture of the President of the. United States
on the, night of the Sd, by which means the
stockholders, &c, in the'banks were barely
saved from almost total and irremedable dcs.
truction of their property. Upon examining
the act of Congress of 1888 concerning the
Union Bank, (applied by the new act to all
ether banks,) We fnd the following among
! the provisions Of it, of which it is we'll that
Iall our readers within the District should be
fully apprized Nat Int.
"Sec. 4; ind be it further enacted That
the said Corporation shall not, after the first
day of July, 1888, 18th day of July, lS4O,
issue or II issue any bills, notes. or checks,
payable to bearer: nor shall it issue ccrtli-
Gates Of deposie payable to bearer nor shall
it receive any money or other property from

other than one Of its stockholders on depose,"

WHAT NEXT ?

We have been charged with Inconsistency,
because the Native American Association of
this city have heretofore held celebrations on
the Fourth, and because we opposed party
celebrations on that glorious day, just passed.
ANALoGy.-Pmty celebrations consists i'll
the congregating together of opposing fac
tions of the inhabitants of the United States,
miscaIled politicians the one to villify and
blackguard the other, because they hold
honest differences of opinion. The Native
Americans held celebrations, to which all the
sons ofttre soil were invited, without respect
to party or sect, to pay homage to the memory
of their departed srcs, and glorify the day that
made us separate and distinct people. No
Native was excluded, but foreigners were !;
and we think to call upon Englishmen, Hes
slams, Irishmen, and Welchlnen, to eat, drink,
and be glad, because, forsooth, we ,chipt them
all, would be the height of nonsense. .
REMARKs:-f people wish to make a
" mountain Of mole hill !" they should not
magnify at the expense Of their neighbors
and truth. Draw the line, gentlemen, be-
tween politics and party. We claim to be
politicians, but not partizans. Again, if to
celebrate the Fourth Of July by the children
cf the heroes who made that day worthy
the acclimations of her freeborn sons, be
classed as porty celebration, and the ming
ling the children of other governments to
shout because of their overthrow, be analo-
gous, then, we say, has the words taught us
in our boyhood, become as null and void as
would the halIowed privileges Of this ever
blessed day, were it left to the choice of for
eigners whether it should be celebrated or not

OUR EXPLORING EXPEDITION.

| Discovery OF New CoNTINENT.-We
are happy to be able to state that letters have
been received from the Exploring Expedition
of as late date as the 18th of March at which
time the two larger vessels of the Squadron
had returned to Sydney (South Wa4es( from
its cruise in the Southern Seas. 4 copy OF
the Sydney Herald of the 18th Of March has
reached our hands, from which we copy the
following highly interesting accoun: of the
results of this cruise Mat. Int.
From the Sydney Is. W. Hernd, March 49, 1s4o.
Discovery OF yuE ANTARCTIC; CONT
NENT.-Amongst the arrivals to be found In
our shpping-list of this day is that Of the
United States ship Vincennes, under the com
mand Of Charles Wilkes, Esq The VIZ
cenncs has been absent from this port almost
eighty days, most of which time has been
spent in southern explorations; and we are
happy TO have it in our power to announce,
on the highest authority that the researches
of the exploring squadron after a southern
continent hare been completely successful
The land was first seen Oh the morning of
the 18th of January in latitude "a degrees 20
minutes south, longitude 1874 degrees lo
minutes east.
The Peacock, (Which ship arrived in our
harbor on the 22d ult., lmnch disabled from
her contact with the ice,) we learn, obtained
soundings in high southern latitude, and es-
t,bshed beyond doubt the existence Of land
in that direction. But the Vincennes, more
fortunate in escaping injury, completed the
discovery, and ran down the coast from ! 54
degrees IS minutes to 81 degrees 45 minutes
east longitude, about 100 miles, within a
short distance Of the land, often SO near as to
get soundngs with q few fathoms Of line, du
ring which time she was constantly surround
ed by ice islands and. bergs, and experienced
many heavy gales of wind. exposing her con
stantly to shipwreck. We also understand
that she has brought several specimens Of rock
ard earth procured from the land; some OF
them weighing upwards of 100 pounds.
1t is questionable whether this discovery
can be of any essential benefit to commerce ;
but it cannot be otherwise than highly graft
tying to Captain Wilkes and the officers ell
gagged with him in this most Interesting exPe-
dition, to have brought to successful terml-
nation the high trust committed TO them by
their country: and it is hoped that SO noble a
commencement in the cause OF science and
discovery will induce the Government Of the
United states to follow up by other expedi-
tions that which is now on the point otterml-
nation.
We understand that the iTncennes will
sail on Sunday or Monday next for New Zea-
land, where the f'orpoise and Flying Fish
will rejoin her should they have been equally
fortunate with their two consorts III escaping
from the ice. The Peacock will follow as
soon as her repairs are completed: whence
thew will all proceed in turhcrance Of the
objects of the expedition.
We will only add, that we wish them God
speed
