MIR. DALLAS AND THE BANK

The Richmond Enquirer tries to get over
me TACT that MIR. DALLAS was supporter and
advocate of the late Bank of the United States
by saying he acted under Instructions. The
following extract from the Register of De-
bates in Congress, furnished by the Baltimore
American, shows very conclusively the film
siness of that plea:
1t appears from the Register of Debates
Vol. VIII. Part !. p. So that on the 9th OF
January, 1882, MIR. DALLAS presented the
memorial of the Bank of the United States.
& praying for recharler, and said he could moi
" but feel strongly impressed by the recollec-
:" ton that the Legislature of PENNSYLVANIA
" recenty and in effect unanimously had re-
" commended the recharier of the Bank. He
" came there WILLING as he was virtually
"an Instructed AGENT in promoting to the
" extent of his ability, an object which how
" ever dangerously timed its introduction
might seem, acds In itself entitled 10 euery
" consideration and fauor.'
On the 18th Of March of the same wear.
Mr. DALLAS. from the Select Committee. re-
poricda Bill to reneU The charter of The Rank
Of The United States He made speecb in
favour of the Bank as constitutional and OK.
pedlent the date of this speech is Nav %.
1882. ''
When the Bank bill had passed both Houses
oil Congress, Mr.. DALLAS voting for it, and
was returned with Gen. JAcKsoN's veto. j,
was again put upon its passage in the Senate
and 1t again received the vote of Mr.. Dali
LAS notwithstanding The veto
Again, we have this farther evidence Of Mr..
DALLAS friendliness to Bank
IN 1896, four years after the defeat of the
Bill to recharler the Bank of the United States.
(says the American) Mr.. DALLAS wrote n me-
morable letter, in which he said-"Of the con-
"sttutional power of the National Government

" entertain a doubt. OF the ability of Con-
"gress TO create such Bank as would be q

Thus it is made clear that the Anti-Bapk
men are running a Bank man for the Vice
Presidency! hat will you say now, Mr..

THE KENsINGToN RIOTS, &c.

The Grand Jury made their presentment to
The Count OF Quarter Sessions at Philadelphia on
Saturday morning, and were afterwards dscharg-
ed. They state that they have acted on upwards
Of two hundred bills Of Indictment, out of which
number they found one hundred and sixty-one
true bills. They refer at some length TO the late
disturbances, the whole Of which they attribute
to the lax manner in which the law has been
executed by the constituted authorities of the
city and county, and more especially those of
the district of keDsngton, and to The efforts of
party to exclude the Bible from the public schools
They state that they have presented various
individuals connected with these riots; and that
IT the officers connected with the city and coun-
", and specially the police magistrates of
kensington, and the Sheriff, had acted in an
energetic and efficient manner. many lives would
have been spared and large amount Of pro-
pery saved from destruction, and that the con.
duct Of these officers ought to undergo legal inves-
tigaiion. They allude 10 the imperf,c ct police
system Of the city and county, which imperiousy
demands reorganization.
Judge Parsons told the Grand Jury that the
Court had read the presentment with great sat
isiaction, and were much obliged 20 them for the
labor they had taken in preparing it /; that tbev
approved Of the report entirely .-GdzeHe

"Col. Thompson passed on yesterday with all

patches borne by him is that Mexico rejects the
proposition OF obtaining her consent to the an

nation of the treaty Of annexation will be regard

States"
The Mobile Register says
We learn from the officers OF the Poinsett that
1900 troops had assembled and were chartered
at Vera Cruz, and that large quantities of military
stores were arriving there. An English brio with
