FOR THE MADisoNIAH.
A BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.
VIII Congress charter Bank This is the all alb
sorbing question, and one upon which the People feel
more anxiety than any other. do not believe that
those who have the power dare adjourn without pass
ing bill Of some kind thus far, the whole dominant
party agree. The question then is, what kind OF
Bank do the People desire have heard it argued
again and again. that they have decided in favor of
the plan as reported by Mr.. Clay What evidence
can be adduced in favor Of this propositions Is il
not known that in the canvass which resulted in the
triumphant election of Gen Harrison we were afraid
10 ayow ourselves openly in favor Of Bank So far
any inference can be drawn from his election, II
must be that the party concurred with him in senti-
ment What was his avowed sentiment? That he
believed Bank unconstitutional, unless il was ne
cessary to enable the Government TO carry on its
fiscal operations y and that Congress the proper
tribunal to decide upon this necessity Those who
knew him intimately, aware that he believed
that period had arrived but at the same time they
knew that he was determined leave the expression
Of this opinion for Congress. This much was decid-
ed by the election Of Gen. HARRisoN, and nothing
more. As to the peculiar kind Of Bank necessary,
II was well known that he was decidedly opposed to
any increase of the power Of the General Govern
ment and in favor of reseryng to the States all that
belonged to them, by liberal construction of the
Constitution If he had digested, in his mind,
any plan of Bank, the public know nothing Of IT,
How, then, can we form opinion to the views
he entertained If they rere known, il must have
been TO the Cabinet whom he selected to aid him in
the discharge Of his duties. The appropriate mem
Der of this Cabinet has been called upon by Congress-
and has furnished PROJECT So far there was
any thing on this point, decided by the election of
Gen. HARRlsoN this must be considered as HE de-
cision. To those, then, who are DESTROYS of obeying
the decision of the People the only open question is
whether the plan submitted by Mr.. Ewing will enable
the Government to carry on its fiscal operations Now
as believe Mr.. Ewings bill does give to the Bank
the power of establishing agencies transact all other
banking business than that Of dscountng notes there
can be no doubt of its sutfciency And if the Bank
is limited to $50 900 900 capital believe is batter
she should be prohibited from dscountng notes. IT,
on the other hand, this power cannot be exercised
under his bill without the consent Of the States still
believe there would be no difficulty in obtaining
such consent; or, at least, that the decision of the
People would be more nearly complied with than by
the passage of the bill as reported by Mr. Clay.

BANKRUPT LAW.
PrBLlus

We call upon Congress to pass Uniform Bank
rupt Law, as one of the most important expcdtent
and just of relief that can be acted upon at
this session.
On this subject public opinion is nearly unanimous
scarcely person can be found who openly opposes
It outside the walls of the Capitol and We trust the
prayers Of the unfortunate will 20 up unheeded TO
the grand council Of the Nation.
We believe no petition has been forwarded from
this quarter at the present session. But this omission
is not from any dnnution in zeal for the passage of
the law nor from any apathy or indifference on the
subject. Al the two last regular sessions, petitions
individual within its limits. There is question on
which all parties here 81 completely united, MS on
the expedeney-yea the necessity of General Bank
rupt Law and, II the representatives from Alabama
should be found opposing the measure they will do a
violence to the feelings and wishes Of their conslitu
ents, which will not be forgotten when they return 10

ANIMAL MAGNETIsM-TuH vrrc

Doctor Preston, of New York, is lee
turing in st. Louis upon this Science
and at the close of one of them on the
18th, made sundry experiments upon such
as submitted themselves to them. The last
one was our friend CADY, Of the Bulletin,
and it is thus noticed on the day following
by the.edtor Of the Evening Gazette:
"The experiment on lady had been so sue.
cessful, and the phenomena exhibited so entirely
novel and curious to the spectators, that they had
now collected in dense crowd around the mag.
netser and expressed the strongest solicitude that
the manipulations should be continued. At this
moment lady, probably with mother Ewes Gu,
riosity-called out the name Of the editor Of the
Bulletn-who, according to newspaper authori-
ty, is favorite with the fair, and Mr.. Cady, find
ing it impossible to resist such an appeal, resign
ed himself to his fate. The act was done with
every disposition TO give the operator fair play,
and the effect was most complete. In ten min
utes after he had taken the chair, he was envel-
oped in the folds Of the magnetic sumber.' The
composure to rest was of the same trance-like
character, which we have remarked Of the lady
before mentioned Mr.. Cady sat, with the back
Of his head against the back Of his chair, and
seemed 10 be as mooness as the statue Of Mem
non, which emitS no sound, until played upon by
the first, fresh beams Of the rising sun.
The sun. beams in the case Of our neighbor and
friend were the magic words Of the magnetism,
who, to most OF the questions propounded by him,
received an audible and intelligent response. 70
other persons he appeared both deaf and dumb
A lady asked him if he did no. consider himself a
''great humbugger.' 1t was really rather a del
cate queston-but it was apparently not heard
or understood and certainly not answered.
The magnetism asks-"will you now correct
your proois?' With strong manifestations OF dis
taste and disgust, the answer was very audibly,
and mpatienty given; Another oues
ton was, "has Pres. Tyler signed the Bank Bill?
The answer was loud and emphatic;-, ."No"..
Will he sign it, Again the same prompt and
determined reply.'"No!"
To dgress for moment we must suggest that
these replies are Of fearful augury. The Bulletin
is Mr.. TyIer's organ.-and we are not sure that il
is not true in the present case, that "coming
events cast their shadows before" Perhaps, An
imal Magnetism will be considered as restoring
to the world that which was supposed to be lost

The money he says paid for those
bonds did not come into the State Treas
ury. The officers of the Government had
no control over its disbursement. The
bonds were disposed of in 1899, by colIu-
sion and fraud, in violation of the Cousli-
tuition and laws of this State. The Mssis-

United States, were parties to this unlaw-

Russia, Prussia, Spain. Portugal, are all
borrowing all the money they can lay their

Mexico and the South American States
