RANK oE WEsr UNION.

The investigation Committee ap-
pointed by the Bank of West Union have
published statement, from which il
appears, that S67,745, of tho notes OF
the institution are now in circul alton
and the specie in the vaults amounts 10
$3.50. The capital stock paid in is $780,
900, and Notes aid Bills discounted
Sl36,2I7,93. The committee stake plea
sure in presenting tho statement to the
public" and assure the holders ofits notes
that the "assels are ample to meet the H..
abilities of the Bank" proclaiming at the
same time that 'meaSures are now being
taken 10 secure an early redemption of its
paper"
In This community, West Union Bank
Notes have always been in bad repuie,
from the fact that the the institution was
in the hands of few Brokers in Cincinna-
ii, who used it for the purpose Of carrying
on their shaving operations. The pub
lshed report Of its condition gave incOn-
testibe evidence that those who managed
the concern, were its best customers
Take the report of the Bank Commission
ers, who made personal inspection of
its affairs on the 2Sth May 1899. They
said the institution had discounted notes
to the amount of Sl3l,000, and had a
circulation Of $50 ,0O0,-of this amour,
thres Of the officers of the bank had bor-
rowed one hundred and thirty-lwo thou
sand dollars and in $40 four of the Off
GERS had borrowed one hundred and fifty
two thousand dollars and ninety eight
cenis. in addition, were scattered among
twenty one borrowers, in sums under
$4,000. 1t will then be seen that The
Bank did not aim TO accommodate The
publc,-officers mUnopolzed almost its
entire means.
The Bank in 1899, exhibited $G2,7S0
! IN specie TO the Commissioners, when
they paid il visit, and reported $4,000
as deposited in Cincinnati. making an ag-
gregale OF specie atiIs command Of S12,.
! 7sO, with circulation OF $l90,000.
In 1910, the Bank Commissioners re-
ported the specie an haud al S37 1884 IS
and the circulation Sl25,000.
Well the Bank fails III 1871, and the
committee appointed to examine its effect;
reports the specie on hand at nineteen
hundred and fifty dollars, only, and the
notes in circulation at SG7,745. VIVA
has bscome of the specie reported 10 be
in tho vaults of the Bank year ago?-
Willis other banks have been endeavor
ing to strengthen themselves and hold on
10 their specie, this institution has parted
with thir,y-fve thousand dollars in coin
at time Of general suspension, denying
those who presented hernoteS for redemp
ton at her own counter, beyond doubt
as our other state institutions have done.
Let the Committee furnish the public
with a detailed account of the assets of
the Bank, specifying the particular secu-
rites they hold, which will enable them
to "redee EN-" its paper at an ''early day
let them show how they have disposed
Of S35 ,OG0 in specie during the past year
When this is done the public will Judge
whether the combined "altacks Of broker"
have Frustrated the institution, or wheIh-
er the officers of the bank haye not been
the principle agents in swindling the pub,

The mighty deed is done at
last and the wings have put a tax of 20
per cent. upon Tea and Coffee, and left
railroad iron and many other things, such
as Rawhides and Flax seed, free of duty.
when the poor and the laborer were to be
benefited, the percentage was insisted
uponi but when the rich and the mighty
were 10 be benefited the duties were
withdrawn. Like the window and hearth
tax in England, it applies only to the log
cabins and cottages, and leaves the palaces
OF the aristocrdcy unburthened. They
call gold watches necessary, and Molas-
ses, Sugar and Salt, luxuries. Truly this
is relief with vengeance. The bill was
hurried through in manner shameful TO
the majority, and as bad as Profit is, as a
partisan, he could not stand it, and char
acterized the whole proceeding as indeli.

made in hot and improper haste.

INsuRRECTIos.--The New Orleans Bee of Fri day gives an account of the discovery oa plot among the siayes to produce general nsurrecton, through the entire country, from Baton Rouge to Natchez.- It says: aa tiE at ia .LH1na ftI3a 4e4
 ss From the information we have obtained, it ap- pears that Friday night last the oyerseer of the plantation of Robert J.. Barrow Esq, of West Feii- ciana, was taking his accustomed rounds among the negro quarters, when he heard conversation in one of the huls between number of negroes, the import of which immediately induced him to pause and lis ten. He overheard that the negroes on the estate
 in conjunction with those of the different plantations situated along the river far Natchez, had con spired together, and to rise m nsurrecton on the first of August, and that general massacre of the whites was to follow. The overseer withdrew, and the next morning laid his information before the authorities of Bayou Sara proper force was i'm medately despatched several plantations, and 30 or 40 slaves arrested, who supposed to be the rngleaders. We further understand that on the ap- preenson of the blacks several of them voluntarily confessed their guilt. At thetime ofthe departure of the Clipper, the greatest consternaton prevailed m Bayou Sara and the neighborhood, andthe inhab- itants were armed, and kept constant watch. The negroes were to be tried on Wednesday, and it was believed that short shrif and speedy doom would be awarded to the guilty" 4t}yY
 The Picayune says that the insurrection orga- nized on few plantations only; and that at the a- test accounts, the ringeaders apprehended, and the excitement was subsiding. 1 s.i .af

 SIR:--I hasten to make known to the government of the United States of America fact of a serious character, and highly interesting to the national dig nity of the country. NGAfllIg
 l. The Bishop of Detroit, Michigan, Mir. Reese, an American citizen, is confined in dungeon of Rome, without communication with any living person, and consequently without the knowledge of the American Minister resident there-a target for the backest calumnies and victim of the most atrocious perse- eution from his colleagues here in religious matters. He was summoned to Rome towards the end of 1858, if am not mistaken, and in lS3S, when made his acquaintance, he was confined in convent, uader an ecclesiastical prosecution On the process being completed, he was ordered to resign. This he refu- sed To do; and then he was thrown into dungeon, perhaps of the Inquistion, where three other Bish- ops were lying. There he is overwhelmed with sui ferngs and tortured, to ob1ige him to resign and all possible measures taken to prevent him from in- roking the protection of the diplomatic agents of his own country. A similar case had happened 10 the Bishop of Philadelphia, Mir. ConwelL But this pre- late while in the same situation Mir. Reese, was fortunate enough make his escape from Rome, and arrested in Paris by order of Charles K. set at liberty through the intervention of the American min ister. 3 ff3 3@fiH|8t4 s4 M " 3
 Thinking that the government of the United States are to look upon their citizens underno religious pect, but merely as free citizens ofths Union, could scarcely believe but that in consequence of this dis closure, ready and eicacious steps will be taken to cause the papal government to be called to account for such scandalous abuse of its spiritual power
