A compromise between the Bank of Kentucky
and the Schuylkill Bank is understood 20 be in pro-
gress, and will probably be concluded In day or
Two, which will put an end to the vexatous litlga-
ton that has been long existing, and enable the
Schuylkill Bank to resaae operations for the re-
malnder of the time for which the charter has to
run. The Kentucky Bank is to surrender some OF
the advantages acquired by the recent decision IN
It's favor. The officers OF the Schuylkll Bank, by
pllcing certain property agreed upon In the hands
of the victor, gracefully terminate the controversy
A bill is now pending before our Legislature, to
enable the Kentucky Bank to hold, in its corporate
capacity, the property that is so delivered up.
