are prob ably as usulI at the comm ence-
ment Of the sessions, consulting upon and
maturing measures and bills to be laid be.
fore their respective Houses; but as their
deliberations are not reported, we must
wait patiently to know their result. The
subject of British seizures and search Of
American vessels was before the Senate
on the 2@d ult., and after short discuss
ion, referred 10 the appropriate commit
tee. On the same day Mr.. Benton gave
notice that he should move to postpone
the bankrupt law until The lst of July
next. 10 the House of Repressntativ es,

often receivirg their prOfts on that; they
sent us NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of foreign

their profits. The boasted favors OF this
foreign capital have been to afford facili-
ties for keeping UP the balance OF trade
against us. It has favored us, BY draw.
ing from our State q large amount of
money every year, in the shape Of divi-
dends. 1t has exerted an influence over
our banks, and assisted in that Fuinous
practice Of gathering up the specie Of tho
Slate-the basis for our cUrrency-and
sending it to tho Atlantic cites, ard thus
made our institutions the mere tributa.

Again, the Bank Commissioner Law
provides the most effsctual mode Of for
cling resumption Of specie payments, o.
placing the banks which cannot resume
in state of liquidation. This is the rec
ommendation Of President Tyler, in hi'
recent message. He says, emphatically
that il is far better that every bank which
cannot resume Immediately, should follow
the example of the United States Banl
ofPennsyIvania, and go into a state o
liquidation, rather than, by remanin,
suspended, prevent sound banks from
resuming. This is the true doctrine
And the political friends ofPresidsnt Ty
lsr ought not to shrink from it. We cal
carry it out in Ohio, by the operation o
the Bank Commissioner Law. Let thos
who oppose the resolution be correctl
understood. They are opposing a re
sumption Of specie payments.

Mr.. Taylor offered for adoption the
following resolution:
ResolOed, That the committee on the

the expediency of establishing a new
court, to be called the Court OF Errors,

the expediency Of allowing writs of error
directly from the courts of Common
Pleas; repeating the law establishing
Court in Bank, and conGning the duties
of the Supreme Court to tho trial of ap-
peal cases only, from the courts of Com
mon Pleas.
Which resolution, on motion Of Dir,
Or DWELL, was laid on the table.

GEORGETOWN, JANUARY 4, 1912.
THE FISCAL AGENT

On the first page of this paper is pub
lished the bill laid before Congress by
the Secretary of the Treasury, TO incor-
porate a United States Bank, under the
new name OF "Board of Exchequer.,
the Secretary sent in with the bill long
report, in which he says
AIN preparing this bill, it has been his
intention 10 keep within, and to fill up,
tho general outline of the measure, as
proposed in the message Of the President
al the opening Of the session; but he
does not Aatter himself that it will be
found SO perfect in its details as not to
require notifications and careful revision
BY the two Houses of the Legislature.
"As !this measure has, necessarily,
been for some time under the considera-
tion of tue President and his constitution
al advisers, the undersigned is directed
by him TO accompany the bill with gen.
eral exposition of the views entertained
by him, and concurrsd in by them, re-
specting it,"
So it appears that the bill has under
gone the consideration and received the
appreciation of the President and his
Cabinet; and the report is an exposition
of his and their views oft. By the re-
port. the design of the bill 10 conciIiate
and drax to the support of the new ad-
mlnlstratlon strong parry of wings and
democrats, is more obvious than by the
bill itself But the bill never can be sup.
ported, without being greatly modified,
by any true democrat. 1t proposes to
convert the United States Treasury, the
only legitimate duty of which is TO re-
ceive, safely keep and disburse the pub
lie revenue, into great banking and
brokerage establishment, ior the benefit
Of merchants and stock -jobbers, who will
thereby be enabled to prey upon the pro.
ducng classes until this government loses
all the advantages sought to be secured
by the Constitution, end becomes more
unjust and Oppre Ssive, if possible, upon
the people than is that Of Great Britain.
1t would have been better for Presi.
dent Tyler's reputation of consistency, for
him TO have signed either of the bank
bills he lately vetoed, than to have rec
commended tho adoption Ofthis blue-Iight
federal, liamiltOnian plan of bank 10
break down the constitutional standard
Of value, to create great national debt,
and vastly increase The powers of the
general government.

Jealous support to some Of the distin.

To all Of them, am under many person
al and political obligations, and can as.
sure you that it would afford me much
more pleasure TO yield to any of them my
support, than TO enter the political arena
in the attitude Of candidate. My pri-
vate affairs require my undivided atisn.
ton, and nothing but the deep obligation
that feel myself under, to the demo.
cratic party for their past support. and the
respect which desire always to pay to
the wishes and judgment Of political
friends, in all matters relating to the in.
torres tof tho party, could induce me, at
this iime,to foregO my previous determin-
alton, in relation to beinga candidate
Having been nominated on two diferen.
occasions. by the democratic party, for
the distinguished station of Governor-

Just as our paper was going to press
this evening, we received tho following
correspondence, which will be gratifying TO
the friends of Governor Shannon through
out the State.
Columbus, Dec. 81, lS4l.
Hon. Wilson Shannon:
SIR-A desire to see the utmost har.
mony and unanimity, characterize all the
proceedings Of the democracy of Ohio,
in relation TO the next annual election,
has induced US to request you to forego
the determination TO Which you had
brought your own mind upon the sub.
ject, and to consent, once more, to be-
come our candidate for the Gubernator-
al chair.
We are sensible Of the sacrifice it must
cost you, but we think the urgency of
the crisis, a sufficient apology for exact
ing il at your hands. Ifyou permit US to
give your name to the public, We
doubt not you will receive unamim-
GUS nomination at the approaching Con.
VeItion.
We are very truly and sincerely

Extract from letter to the Editor, in answer
to an inquiry in reference to an "cX,ract from a
let'er, fiom tho New York Commercial," pub
lished In our paper a few weeks since, dated
CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, Nov. II, 1872
have read, with no little interest, the article
IRON the "New York COMMERCIAL" to which
you direct my attention, and have made every
inquiry on the subject to Which it ailudes, with
out being able to discover that the Conductors of
the Cars on the Rail Road between this place and
flagerstown, "hope been Concerned in aiding
SiaUes 10 escape" That some runaway Slaves
may have avaied themselves of the facility of the
Ka H. Dad to escape the pursuit of their owners
is altogether probable; for in State like ours.
where the free Negro has as good right as the
white man, to travel without being questioned or
Inolested, it is difficult prevent this evil felt
confident, when read the article under conside-
ration, that the Managers of the road would not
tolerate the conduct complained of should it ex-
ist: but to fully satisfy myself on the subject,
this morning called upon the President and seve-
raj Managers of the Road, and thew not only
confirmed my opinion, but assured me, that they
would give the conductors Of the Cars, ORDERS not
10 lake In future, any coiored man into the Cars,
between iagerstown and Chanbersburg, unless
he produced pass, or they knew him to belong 10

DIFFICULTIES WITH MOROCCO.

The Philadelphia North American mas received
letter from Gibraltar under date of September
10th, which states that our difficulties with Moroc-
co have not yet been adjusted. Your Government,
says the writer, will have to send out a large ma
val force, and coerce the Emperor into terms of
amity and respect. The Bashaw of Tangiers,
who was appointed by the Emperor to treat with
Com. Morgan, has refused to accede TO his de-
mands.
The matter has consequently been referred
back again to the Emperor, who SEEMS disposed
to sustain the Bashaw. The United Stites can
not recede with dignity and self-res wet. Our
Consul, Mr.. Mulloway, has been recognised by
the Emperor, and is waiting permission to return
home, He will be sent out again, trust, with
demands which the U. States will be prepared to
enforce.

MANURE.-A NEW DISCOVERY.

Messrs. GoULIARr and BucKEy, No. 90
Eulaw street, Baltimore, advertise in the Amer
ican OF that city, a new method of making ma
nure without cattle, III 25 or 80 days. The
process is represented to be very simple and
easy, and every farmer can co,In, upon certain
success. Brush, briars, weeds, straw, corn
stalks, corn-cobs, in fact every thing belonging
to tho vegetable kingdom, whether green or
dry, can DC converted into manure. The in
Sredicnis for decomposing the materials cost
only about "a for thousand cart loads
he certificates of n number of intelligent far
mers are given who have tested the value of
the dIscovery--so that it would seem to be
no hun5ug The advantages of this manure
are thus stated by the adver,isers.-If all that
is said OF it be true, 1t must be one of the most
important discoveries of the age
l. 1t is more nourishing, more exciting. more
equally and regularly purified than that which is
obtained 10y animals.
?. During the dry season, it sustains the mois-
ture of the soil.
5. This manure looscns the soil, keeps lonper
IN H. consumes slower, and is in fact more durable
man that which is produced in stables.
.. The great heat or fermentation which this
inanare undergoes in its preparation destroys eve
~ germ which the original materials might con-
tain, causing no weeds to spring up in the fields.
D. By means of the ley and the water which
enter into tie composition Of this manure, the
weight Of the dry material is quadrupled, the
weight OF the green material is doubled

MIR. Murdaugh was man of strong impulses
which sometimes led him into error but the
goodness OF his heart, the soundness Of his calm
er judgment, and the clearness Of his moral per-
ceptons, were manifest to all who knew him,
and never more so than in his last illness, when,
conscious of the approach Of death, he desired
that one or two individuals with whom he was
unhaPpily at variance. should be sent for that he
might tender them the hand Of Cancellation and
die in peace with all mankind. His intelligence
