The Bank Law, as it is called, has finally passed
both Houses of the Ohio Legislature, and came to us
in one of the last numbers of the Ohio Statesman,
spreading over twelve long wide columns.
In the Senate on Monday afternoon. Mr.. Disney,
agreeably to notices asked leave to introduce bill to
repeal the act Incorporating the State Bank ct Ohio,
and other banking companies:
Mr. Kelley of Franklin called for the reading OF
the title of the bill and it read and found to be
a bill to repeal the act Incorporating the State Bank
of Ohio and other banking companies.
Mr.. Kelley of Franklin opposed the giving OF leave
and the question being granting leave, the yeas
and nays were demanded, and were, yeas 70, nays
essrs Hastings; Kelley Of Franklin, Osborne, Per-
kins, Quinby and Speaker voting against giving
leave.
So leave was granted-and the bill was introduced
and read the first time.
Mr. Kelley of Franklin then moved that the bill be
rejected.
MIR. Disney claimed that as leave was granted to
bring in the BILL the question was out OF order: The
question Just decided the same in substance as that
which is now before the Senate.
Messrs. Kelley, Of Franklin, Osborn, Perkins and

to be of the finest bays and safest harbOrs on the

Under the above caption, the editor of the Journal
of Commerce of the 22d inst. makes the following
remarks:
"These two forms of law, by acting upon each
other, sometimes produce very unexpected results
We have a reciprocal treaty with Belgium, by which
we agree that goods imported in Belgium ships from
Belgium shall be admitted upon the lowest duty at
which the same goods are admitted in American
vessels. Besides this have Tariff, which admits
coffee free when imported In American vessels from
the place of growth, but imposes duty upon 1t when
imported from other countries. Under the Treaty, it
will be remembered that Belgium claimed that Java
coffee should be admitted to the United States in Bel
gan vessels from Belgian ports free OF ddty; though
in American vessels it pays duty. This was most
surprising demand, and yet Mr. Secretary Bib found
that the Belgans right and gave orders accord
ingly.
ave hare very strange result of a similar state
of things in England. With England we have
cprocal treaty, as with Belgium Recently the Abo-
litionsts have brought about modification OF the
British Tariff in regard TO sugar and some other arti-
Giles imported from certain countries for the purpose
of favorng the production of those articles by free
labor Venezuela sugar was authorised to come IN at
34s per cwt duty. One of the first things which
greets John Bull after the arrangement for free labor
sugar. is the arrival of twelve hundred hogsheads of
Stare sugar from New Orleans, claiming admission
under the treaty. 1t would seem that the claim has
been admitted, and that the sugar is In fair way to
oay the exporters "a great house in New Oreans,)
good profit. This is important matter to the SUI
gar market, and Southern country generally !;
for if John Bull will take our sugar on this plan, we
shall send it to him instead of cotton, and from the
same plantations which now grow cotton. But he
will perhaps alter his legislation so as to save amal-
ca though he cannot alter the Treaty and our Con-
gress will do well make coffee free under all cir
cumstances, that our vessels may have fair chance
with those of Belgium.
"Since writing the above, we have met with the
following passage in the London Economist:
'sIt is longer concealed, that much of the late
talk about slavegrown sugar IS about to be thrown
overheard by the Ministry and that are at last re-
ally to have cheap sugar

INTERESTING TO WIDows.-In the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania decision of Importance has been
made. The application was on the part Of widow,
who had married again, to compel from the executor
of her late husband the payment of annuity of two
hundred dollars, left her until her should be of
age, provided however that she remained his widow
until that time otherwise the annuity to cease"
The Court ordered the payment of the annuity. not
withstanding the re-marriage. 1t was held that a
provision for the payment of an annuity so long as
the widow should continue unmarried would be good,
the provision operating only Inhalation, upon the
devise; but in the before the Court there
limitation already provided, to wit, the coming Of
age of the son, and the other clause, directing the
annuity to cease on the marriage of the widow, could
be regarded only condition subsequent, and re-
strction upon marriage, which the law disfavors
opposed to the first law of our nature and to the inter-
ests of society.

The third was brick dwelling on 9Th Street.-The
flames were soon subdued
The fourth was frame building, and entirely con-
sumed.
The fifth was carpenter shop.
The other two fires did not do much damage as the
flames were subdued without the aid of the engines.
Several accidents occurred One of the hreffen who
went over to Covington on the ferry-boat jumped
from the boat too soon and fell in the river and
drowned.
Another one had his leg broken-a third was run
over by an engine. 1t is supposed that nearly all
these fires were the work of incendiaries.

Clay i'm 1910 and Is44.

What difference is there in the language of Mr..
CLAY in these two periods of his history The fol-
lowing is extract from his speech in 1870 in de-
fence of the seizure and occupation of the Perdido
line by Mr.. Madison:
"The gentleman conceves it ungenerous (said Mr..
Clay on that occasion) that should at this mo-
ment, when Spain is encompassed on all sides by the
immense power of her enemy, occupy West Florida.

esting transactions of that country transactions

Place this noble outpouring of patriotism side by
side with Mr.. Clay's letters on Texas in 1874, and
we shall be unable to recognise the slightest identity
of language or feeling
