VIRGINIA LEGISLATURES.

The Louisa contested election has been fl
nally disposed of by the House of Delegates
by directing writ for new election to be
issued. In the Madison case, Mr.. Booten
has been ousted from his seat, and Mr.. Banks
put in his place.
After a long and able debate in the Senate,
which lasted five or six days, on the resolu-
ton ofthe House of Delegates fixing day
for the election of U. S. Senator, the resolu
ton was finally amended, on motion of Mr..
Baptist, by striking out the 18th of Februa-
ry, and inserting the Sd Of March. Mr.. Bar
fist is an Administration man, and assigned
as reason for his course belief that the
Constitution required The election to be gone
into at this session. Mr.. Smith, of Culpep-
er, tau Ied him for the ssunenyiable posi-
ton he had assumed in thus separating from
his party-to which Mr.. B. made the fol-
lowing admirable reply :-''N1r. Speaker, /.
can assure the gentleman from Culpcpcr that
l shall always consider myself as occupying
an enriabie position, when battling under tho
Constitution ofmy country
The House has agreed to the amendment
OF the Senate, so that the election will most
probably be gone into on the Sd of March.
This will prevent members from attending
the Presidential inauguration--atl least it upht
to do so-and we hope none of them will
think of deserving their posts.

PHILADELPHIA.

A second meeting of citizens, without par
ty distinctions, was held in Philadelphia on
Thursday evening. ON the subject of the
Banks. Alderman Hay presided, and G.. e..
Child and Thomas Birch, jr. acted as Secre-
taries. Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the meeting had entire confidence in the
value and solidity of the deposites and circu-
laton of all the Banks i'm the city and county
of Philadelphia and to enable them to go
on in their business and relieve the trade a
repeal of those provisions, by which their
charters may be forfeited, is recommended.
That the Banks DO permitted to issue small
notes was also recommended by the meeting
together with permission TO declare divi-
dends. A committee of five citizens was APP
pointed TO repair to Harrisburg, and lay the
proceedings Of the meeting before the Leg
slature.

UNITED STATES BANK.

We understand that the Directors of the
Bank of the United States have prepared &
memorial to the Legislature, and sent it for
ward, setting forth the causes which have OPP
Grated 10 defeat their unparalleled exertions
to maintain specie payments, according to
the requisition of the act of February, 1910.
They have referred TO the unholy combina-
ton in New York to break down the banking
interests in Philadelphia, and have pointed
to the direct advantages which the common
wealth has derived from the funds of the u.
). Bank. The memorial is said to be writ
ten with remarkable vigor, and contains facts
which cannot fail to give force to the argu-
ments ofits author. The Bank asks for it,
self what is asked for the other banks, and
no more.-U. S. GAz.

The next morning the brig arrived, and the
morning after landed about sixty sailors and
all the officers. They were formed into three
divisions Ringgold and North had charge
of the first; Johnson aud Sinclair of the Sec
ond, and Maury and Ed Of the third. Capt.
Wilkes, with Lieuts. Alden and Emmons
were in the boats, SO that no canoes could
make their escape.
The expedition landed about O'Clock, and
marched Immediately towards the town where
the massacre had been perpetrated, which
was well secured from attack by means of a
wall, with bitches inside and out; but it did
not resist our tars, who burnt that and another
OF their towns, and it was reported that be-
tween the boats and the detachment on shore,
hfty-seven of the cowardly barbarians were
made to expiate with their lives their murder
of poor Underwood and Henry. We lost
not man, and had only four seamen wound
ed in the whole affair. The savages fought
desperately until their chief was killed, when
they dispersed. They pointed out Passed
Midshipman Sinclair as the man who shot
their chief.

PENNSYLVANIA.

1t is stated in a letter from HARRISBURG.
published in the National Intelligencer, On
what is represented to be good authority,
that Gov. Porter is opposed to legalizing
farther suspension of specie payments by tho
Banks of Pennsylvania. Clothed as he is
with the veto power, this announcement is of
fearful and formidable import, the more es-
pecially as it is said two-thirds Of each branch
OF the Legislature cannot be got to unite in
bill for the relief Of the Banks. We sincere
ly hope, however, that there is some mistake
about the matter-Gov. Porter can hardly
be prepared to assume so fearful a responsible
ity. Such measure would bankrupt the
credit Of the Commonwealth at once, and
leave the people without a currency for the
transaction of their ordinary business. More
over, 1t would SAVIOUR strongly of injustice.
1t is notorious that the State has been large
borrower from the Banks, and has been great
Iy dependent on them, for the last few years,
for the means of meeting its engagements.
The National Gazette says the State has bor-
rowed ftom the u. S. Bank alone, within
two years and half, eight million t,oo
hundred and .forty5fue thousand dollars, Of
which little more than half million has
been repaid

McLEoD.-The Niagara Courier publishes
long letter from the counsel of Mcleod, con-
firming in all essential particulars the state
ments already given of the outrage upon law
and order committed by the citizens of Lock
port, i'll connection with his admission to bail
They state moreover that they have no doubt
Mcleod is entirely innocent of the offence
with which he is charged and that in bailing
him no design existed for a moment of thus
avoiding trial.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser ofFri-
day evening states that very large number
OF witnesses were at Lockport in attendance
on the Grand Jury, before which the case of
Mcleod was laid. In addition to those who
went from Buffalo were others from Roches-
ter, Oswego, and CIeaveland. In his charge
Judge Bowen impressed upon the Jury the
necessity of an extended and free exanlina-
ton, and the propriety of committing tho
whole evidence TO paper. for future reference.
The progress of the investigation was slow
but all the proceedings were marked with
great order and decorum.

TIE SUSPENSION.

Upwards OF eleven millions of dollars were
paid out by the Philadelphia Banks during
their recent brief resumption Of specie pay
ments. No one can doubt that the run upon
them was the result of 4 vile combination
whether for local or political purposes, is yet
only matter of conjecture. 1t is easy to
perceive the interest which certain poll
ticians would have in the Illustration of
a resumption of specie payments. The
powerful influence it would exert in restoring
the country to its former prosperity, and the
eclat which might thus be impaired to tho
New Administration, would be reason enough
with the bold and reckless spirits who are
now smarting under their election from pow
eI, which they have been using, for years
past, only for their own aggrandizement.
Furthermore, the extent of the run would
seem to preclude the idea that it was the re-
suit of mere individual effort. Besides, we
have the fact, that some ofthe heaviest capt.
talists in New York have been great losers
by it. The loss of John Jacob Astor alone.
by the depreciation ofthe u. S. Bank stock,
is said to be near million of dollars.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
THE PRESIDENT ELECT.

Gen. HARRISON this morn!5,g visited the
two Houses of Congress. and was received
with marked attention in both. The Admin.
istraton members were foremost in their at
tention to the distinguished man so soon to
he at the head of the Nation. Even Mr..
Benton came forward with many others--but
not the Ohio Senators.
The Vice President received his old Com
mauder with great cordiaity, and the Presi-
dent elect remained some time in the private
room Of the Vice President.
General Harrison will leave the city on
Wednesday for Virginia via Baltimore. To-
m onow night he will attend the National
Ball.

PHILADELPHIA BANKS.-Thc Phil.

adelphia U. 5. Gazette of the 9th inst. refer
ring to the suspension of the Banks. says
The law Of last February, relative to future
suspensions, has operated most iniuriously
The Banks were not ready for that resump-
ton, and ALL should have openly and freely
stated their inability to meet the requirements
of the law. They did not; but anxious to
comply, and place themselves on par with
the Institutions of other States at the East,
they gathered around them, at sacrifices, the
means OF compliance. The Bank which
had supplied the currency, of course, made
the principal preparations, and on the 18th of
January, the work of resumption was only
commenced.
Then, for the first time, some of the small
banks discovered that the Eastern funds
which they held, were only placed in their
vaults in PAPER, to be drawn from thence in
specie; and the calm, which had been consi-
dered so favorable to their views, was but the
lulling of a breeze before CHANGE for a
tempest; and in less than 20 days, only three
out OF thirteen Banks Of Philadelphia had
paid out NINE MILLIONS of dollars in
SPECIE. How much the other Banks had dis
bursed in that time, we have no means OF
knowing.
No banking institution could have stood
this assault. lis not in the nature of their
business. The whole amount of specie in all
the Banks of the State Of New York, inclu-
ding city, as well as country Banks, is only
ten millions four hundred and twenty nine
thousand one hundred and twelve dollars.
And they have circulation of upwards of fif-
teen millions, and deposite in the aggre-
gate of seventeen millions.-Now, if an at
tack should be made upon the New York in
sttutions, equally vigorous and wrongly dis
posed with that upon the Philadelphia Banks,
whatwould these boosted Banks be in TWEEN
ty days!

Natmal Curiosity.-The Boston Society of
Natural History have received, through the
politeness of ID. 5. McCauley, u. S. Consul
at Tripoli, two rare varieties Of African sheep.
Three of these animals, eve and lamb, COW
cred with close, thick wool, are fine speci-
mems of the four-horned variety from Benxari,
in the Tripoli regency. They are also dis
tingushed by the great breadth of the tail,
which occasionally attains the length of seve-
raj inches on the dewlap. In the hair, as
well as the long and slender legs. the animal
nearly approaches the goat; while the pro-
jecting nose and recurved horn, eminently
distinguish this variety. In its native state
the animal inhabitS the inaccessible cliffs of
the Atlas range, whence single specimen
was recently procured, as great curiosity,
for the Geological Society of London.-Boston
