The Congress Han Charlottesville
Northampton Courier explains the cause
of the accident as follows:
We understand that the Chandelier in
the Representatives Hall, at Washington,
was broken through the careossness of
one of the men employed to trim the lamps.
There were seyenty-eight lamps, holding
nearly twenty galIons of oil. Tho candle
icr was drawn down, aud while the lamps
were taken down for the purpose Of being
trimmed, man was stationed upon 1t in
order to make up for the deficiency of
weight thus occasioned. The man, how
ever, forgetting the importance Of keeping
at his post, jumped of, and in consequence,
the Chandelier few up to the ceiling with
prodieous velocity, and was, Of course,
By tho violence OF the conclusion dashed
10 pieces"

a STUBBORN FACT.

One Northumberland fact is sufficient
TO demo!ish whole columns of scphistry.--
Il is very fashionable among certain midi
ylduaIs, and with certain class Of polti.
clans, to denounee Banks as inncal to
the peoples interests, as swallowing up
their substance, &c. and these assertions
of the dcmagoguc mislead many ignorant
persons. One fact has come to our knowl-
about the matter who talk in this waptt.9M4
The State Of North Carolina, on her in
yestment in the Bark of the State, made
without the slightest risk, has received in
about five years, the enormous amount Of
TWO HUNDRED AND FoRTY-FIvE THOUSAND
DOLLARS Tho Dividends, and Tax on
individual Stock, have amounted to SlSi,-
900, and she is entitled, besides, to one
third Of the surplus Fund, which being
Sl80.000 makes the States share $780,
600. How would the current expenses Of
the State Government, even, have been
paid, without this resource And yet we
constantly hear the clamor-" Down with
the Banks -" the People against the
Banks" &c.--Ral. Reg.
