dignfed demeanor exercised towards
all, "whether Of high or low degree
he has won for himself new laurels, il
that were possible, "from all sorts Of
people," The personal appearance,
conduct, and character Of the Vice
President, and the general estimation
in which he is held by oil classes ofcit-

following language, by Washington

OHIO BANK LAW.

[The following are the comments Of the financial
writer Of the New York News, on the new bank
law Of Ohio. We commend them to serious at
tenton.l
We yesterday made synopsis Of the new Ohio
bank law. AS that law provides for the first bank
creations in the United States since the great revul-
sion which overlook the commercial world n 1887,
it becomes matter Of some Importance, especially
in that the new law provides for scheme Of ggan-
tic expansion, greater than any which has hitherto
befsllen that State These new banks OF Ohio are
a matter Of grave consideration to all those mer-
chants who have dealings with Ohio. 1t is ever
the case, from the enterprise Of our merchants, that
goods are sold than are paid for, because the
competition for Business induces credits which do
not always turn out to be safe. The effect Of the
increase of banks in Ohio, should the new law be
the purchase df goods by that State, until the new
capital is absorbed IN debts for goods consumed.
failure will then take place. We will proceed
to analyze the law. One ection Of the law states
that the aggregate capital shall not exceed 80 $780,
600; that amount not, however. to include the
resume business according to the provisions of the
new law. The 6Sth and 69lh sections authorize
twelve old banks to do business under this law,
whose aggregate capitals are S3, 1897 PA; conse-
quenty the bank capital Of the State of Ohio is,
by 1he present law, fixed at SO, ,9l2 ,240, an amount
as large as ever before existed n that State Tho
number of new banks sixty Three. and Of old ones
twelve. making seventy-fve, double the number
that ever before existed in that State. The circu-
ation is restricted to double the first 100000 Of
capital; $50 per cent OF the second, l25 If the
third, 100 Of the fourth; over the fourth. rs per
cent. The effect of this is, that the smaller the
bank capital, the larger is the proportion Of circu-
lation. The following shows the whole capital and
circulation. with the number Of banks in each bank
district.

WAsHlNGroN, ed'sday forenoon
One of the most decidedly amusing
incidents that have occurred here lately.
connected with otfiee-holding and
oflire-ke ping, came to my knowledge
to-day.
1t seems that Thomas Lloyd, esq.
surveyor of the Port OF BALTIMORE, who
was an appointee of John Tyler, and
confirmed by the Senate very late in
the last session, has manifested the Ut
most anxiety to be retained in his sitn-
alton, ,by continued stream of petitions
to Mr.. Polk to that effect, ever since
the day OF bis Inauguration.
Finally, in order to secure the favor
Of the President, and at the same time
furnish him living, moving evidence OF
his regard, he sends him from Baltimore,
as present. tolerabIe looking nag
called horse by some and a steed by
others. Mr.. Polk forthwith directs that
the animal petition be rejected, return
ed again to the gentleman at Baltimore,
and that Mr.. Lloyd the Inspector be
futhwiM remov~d., 1t is understood
that the orders were carried into imme-

Apr opRIATIoN BiLL.-Every item
was examined with care, and we find
by comparison with former appropri-
alton bills that the hand Of reform has
been laid upon it in good earnest. The
appropriations for the expenses fgov-
ernment have been very materially re-
duced. The appropriation for the re-
pair Of the public works has been cut
do xn to $l5o,ooo, aud all the other
appropriations have been reduced as
low as possible. From this il is appa-
rent that it is the determination o the
legislature to make every effort to re-
deem the credit Of the, state, and raise

WARwIrH MEXICO Many of the coon papers
are predicting that war between this country and
Mexico is inevitable on account of the passage of
the Texas annexation resolutions. We do not an.
prehend that such will be the case. Mexico 10
undoubtedly aware that she is wholly unable to
cope with this country should war be declared
We have right and justice on our side, and we
need, therefore, fear no danger.
There is difference of opinion between the
knowing ones on this subject. Some of the New
York papers assert that the Mexican minister OPEN
ly avowed in that city that war between this
country and Mexico must ensue. The following
is an extract from the protest of the Mexican min
ister 10 the Department Of State: 49,
"The undersigned has the honor to address bin.
self to the Hon.. Secretary of State iD order to
manifest the deep concern with which he has seen
that the President of the United States has given
his signature to law admitting into this confede.
racy the Mexican province Of Texas
'He had fiattered himself that the sound couu-
sels Of the most distinguished citizens. &c. would
have led TO better result Unhappiy 1t has not
been so;and against his hopes and sincere vows ho
sees consummated on the part of this government
an act of aggression the most unjust that molerr
history Iecords-the spoliation Of friendly nation
Of considerable part of its territory.
"For these reasons, in obedience to his inslruc.
tions, he must protest, and does protest, in the
most solemn manner, in the Of his government
against the law, &c. te protests also that the act
in measure inyalidates the rights of Mexico to
recover her province, Of which she is so unjustly
dispossessed, and that she will maintain and give,
effect to those rights by all the means within her
power.
''He also begs that the secretary will let tho
President know that in view of all these facts his
mission near this government terminates from to-
day. He consequently begs that the Hon. Secre-
tary will forward to him his passports, because il 10
