sn1ALL NOTEs.

There is no reason why the hanks should issue
small notes but that these notes will, to great
extent. supply the place of specie and thus aid
the banks in maintaining specie payments Al
present the notes of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company furnish all that's required in
the way of small bills They are issue ON a
pledge of stock and the holder can always con-
vert them into stock. Until they are funded,
the rail read and the city are relieved from the
payment Of interest These notes have passed
into the hands of contractors, laborers, farmers,
mechanics, merchants, indeed into the hands oil
all classes of our citizens, and any act that will
derreciate their value will be an injury to the
| holders.
! rs the hanks are authorized to issue small
notes, they will then refuse to receive the notes
of the baltimore s Ohis Rail Road Gothic con-
sequence will be, that these notes will be driven
in upon the Company, and the moment that they
depreciate, the stock now held for their redemp-
ton will be demanded, and the city compelled
to pay interest. The public will thus lose the
amount of the depreciation, and the company
and the city will lose the interest which they
will then have to pay on the stock The profit
will go to the banls-who will thus, by an act
of the Legislature, take the benefit Of the cir
circlaution which the Rail Road now has. And
what will the public gain by substituting the
credit of the banks for the credit of the Ran
Road Co. as to currency? If the banks are autho-
rized to receive and pay out the notes OF the
Rail Road Company, they will Immediately be-
come the circulation of the surrounding and
Western States, and tina issue may be extended
ts two or three millions-say two millions-the
saving of interest would be one hundred and
t,eenty thousand dollars per annum. In FIVE
years, upwards of six hundred thousand dollars.
AS we have said, there is no reason why the
banks should be permitted to issue small notes
but to aid them in the resumption of specie pay
nents-by supplying change for sums less than
five dollars. This can be done by the notes of
the Rail Road Company better than by the notes
IF tie banks, because these notes are Predicsted
o.. the city stock, and cannot depreciste below
the s.srket value of that stock. If the banks
fail. still the hslder of the Rail Road notes can
get stock for them.
These seems to US to be considerations IN the
case which we are corv:rced have not been pre-
scented to the mover of the bill now before the
Legislature. We cannot believe that he would
give preference to a measure so prejudicial to
the rail road and this city, with view TO favor
the banks, when the public end proposed to be
accomplished can be attained by adopting the
Rail Rod issue already in circulation.

EXTRA SEssIoN-The Globe begins early
an this subject. But it cannot gull its own
friends by assertion, or mislead ours by misstate
ment. 1t is well Tor us, however, to under
stand our posihon-and to say beforehand what
may and what may not be necessary.
First, then, we do not hesitate to declare that
no extra session Of Congress will be called u.-
u : Lie absolute aoants Of the country demand it.
Every effort will be made to avoid it. The
Wings in Congress now are united in action to
prevent it. II an extra session then, be neces-
sary, it will be because those who are now in
power make it so, and they cannot rid them
selves Of the responsibility.
Nor can they complain Of this. Due notice
has been given that new set of Books will be
opened with the new administration. The par
ty in power kaeW that they must balance up
the old set. Ifthey do nof do it, OF ifdoing it,
it is found that we cannot get along, OF that
the nation cannot meet or fulfil its engagements.
then no alternative will be left to the Wings.
We shall rejoice to learn that it may be avoid
ed. Buff it may not be, then let the respon-
sibility rest where it ought! We have only to
say further that it is somewhat suspicious that
the Globe begins to charge so early on this SUBJ
iect. Does it wish by this course to divert
public attention from the state of the treasury
Can it expect by so shallow device 10 cover
I'D any heavy delinquency of its friends in pow
er? We wait for further light. But meantime
we suspect all is not right, and we fear that
disclosures will be made which will shock good
men, and cause even the bitter partizan to
doubt.-Cin. Rep.

TIE ELECTORAL YoTE OF ALABAMA.-The
Florence (Alabama) Inquirer of Dec. 10, con-

tors for President and Vice President have thrown
away the vote of that State by an informally.
The Constitution of the United States provides
that the mode of voting in the Electoral Col
leges for President and Vice President shall be
by ballot, and that the tive shall be voted for by
distinct ballots, and that these facts shall appear
on the face ofthe certificate ofelection Instead of
this form, the Electors rose in their seats when

the exercise of her judicial power, the property
and lives of her citizens. You have very pro-
perly regarded the alleged absence OF Mr.. Nc
Leod from the scene Of the offence at the time
when it was committed, as not material TO the
decision of the present question. That it is a
matter to be decided by legal evidence; and the
sincere desire of the President is, that it may
be satisfactorily established Ifthe destruction
of the Caroline was public act of persons in
her Maesty's service, obeying the order oftheir
Superior authorities, this fact has not been be-
fore communicated to the Government of the
United States by person authorized to make
the admission; and it will be for the court which
has taken cogniZance of the offence with which
Mr.. Mcleod is charged, to decide upon its va
lidity when legally established before it.
The President deems this to be proper &C.
casion to remind the Government of her Bri-
fannie Majesty that the case of the "Caroline"
has been long since brought TO the attention
of her Majesty's principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, who up TO this day, has
no; communicated its decision thereupen. 1t
s hoped that the Government of her Majesty
will perceive the Importance Of no longer leav-
ing the Government fthe United States unin-
formed of its views a,.d intentions upon a sub
ject which has naturally produced much eAas-
peration, and which has led to such grave con-
sequences.

you the assurance of my distinguished consid-

MAP OF MARYLAND.-our highly intelligent
and enterprising fellow-citizen, Fielding Lucas,
Jr. Esq, has presented for our examination, a
manuscript Map Of Maryland, embracing also
adjacent parts OF Pennsylvania and Virginia, and
he whole Of Delaware. This man exhibits
great skill, neatness and accuracy, AID is con-
structed from the best authorities. To the peo-
pie of Maryland such map has long been des-
tdeYatunt, and the subject has been repeatedly
brought to the consideration of the legislature,
lbut without procuring the public aid requisite TO
Its construction. The map before Us has been
prepared for the engraver at great expense Of
time and labor, after consulting the best author
tiles and other sources of information; and we
anticipate that its publication will give entire
satisfaction. Care has been taken to follow ac-
tual surveys wherever they have been made, and
thus the inaccuracies Of former maps have been
corrected - CligPsT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18th, 1B4O.
"a y ssJohn M. CLAYTON
stands as fair for cabinet appointment any
other nam in the country. Among the more in
Auential Wings but two names are mentioned
for the Treasury, namely hIr. Clayton and Mr..
Sergeant, of Pennsylvania land Of these two
the odds are greatly in favor = The former. Mr..
Clayton, l am told. stands nigh with General
Harrison. The General was present in the Sc
nate Chamber in 1880, when MIR. Clayica made
his able speech on Foote's resolution, and in ami
madvertn.g on Jackson's system Of prescription,
made the happy allusion to General Harrison,
in which he antici; ated, with an almost prophet
ic spirit the reward he would ultimately receive
from the gratitude Of his countrymen. The Cen
eral, it is said, was exceedingly affected by the
passage, and I understand that in the West,
Clayton is regarded as having been the first, on
that occasion, to nominate Harrison for the Pre-
sidency. Indeed, am satisfied from all
learn, that there is no obstacle in the way, ex-
cept the single one, that Delaware IS under size
mot of sufficient weight in the Union to justify
so capital an appointment for one of her sons.
True, title Delaware has done her duty
| throughout the whole contest against jackson
| ism, when all were prctrasting themselves be-
| fore the throne of Loco Focoisn, she and Yer
mont were also steady and firm but this may
not avail much against the combinations of great
| states, which always claim the lions share of
every victory. Still it is thought that many
| signal advantages may flow from having a gen
| tleman at the head of the TreasurybD Department
who from his position will not be liable to the
influence of cliques, which too eften acquire
| great sway in our large cities and states. Be-
sides, this notion of having states represented in
the cabinet is altogether erroneous. 1t may be
necessary to strengthen weak President, but
Harrison's administration will require such
adventitious aid. His duty is to select the ablest
men of the nation-pe matter where they reside.
My word for it, a filter man fer the Treasury
department does not live in the country than
John M Clayton. Should he be called to it our
finances will be managed with an ability not
equalled since the station was occupied by Ham
ilton.n
