Banking HOuse of Longeneeker, Grubb 4 co.

We mentioned last week, says the Lancaster
Tribune, that an act Of the Legislature, passed
few weeks ago, prohibited banks or their off,
GERS from being concerned, either directly or in
directly, in the establishment or continuance Of
agencies for the circulation of their paper and
that in consequence Of this enactment, it would
become necessary to discontinue the agencies
recently established at Hollidaysburg and Lew
istown. Since then, the legislature has suspen-
aed The operation of the law so far as regards
the Office of LoScEsEcKER, GRuBB & Co, at
Lewisiown, and tEat Office will now be contin-
ucd as heretofore, To the citizens Of Lewis
town, who manifested deep interest in its con-
tinuance, this will be gratifying news

whlg and Locofoeo Legislation.

In 1917, says the Harrisburg Tele-
graph, the Wings had majority in both
branches of the Legislature. The session
ended on the 10th of March, all the busi-
ness being done.
In 1850 the Locofocos had a majority
in both branches of the Legislature. They
have already been in session two months
longer than the Wings were in 1917, and
have not yet done the business. The
Wing Legislature of ls47 saved to the
State more than TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS, compared with the expenses
of ordinary sessions while the present
Locofoco Legislature have already COST
the State ONE HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS more than that Of
1847. Let the TAXPAi ERS and those
who earn their money by the sweat
of their brow, REMEMBER THESE
FACTS, and treasure them up for the
second Tuesday OF October next.

FATHER MEEK.-This rampant representative
of Centre county, a sort Of local preacher we
believe, recently gave another exhibition Of his
political sanctity, which is thus described in the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin:
"Of course, you have often heard of Father
Meek, the representative from Centre This
gentleman takes considerable credit TO himself
as being the author of rule which opens the
House Of Representatives with morning PRAYER
Mr.. Meek is occasionally called upon to ofiiciate
IN the performance of this salutary practice
and yesterday introduced appeal TO Divine
Providence that the present session Of The Ltgsia-
tifre may be brought 10 speedy ciossn An hour or
two after, resolution was introduced by a whig
member Mr.. Killinger) fixing an early day for
adjournment, and Father Meek roted against Il -

MILITARY Bounty LANDs.-Several mem

passage of the bill reported, granting boun-

I'd Tuesday in June next. Itincludes not
only the soldiers of the late war with
Great Britain, but those of the campaigns

THE CABIHET.-It is semi-of1icially an
nounced in the National InteIligencer of
Tuesday, that the Cabinet will remain as
II now Is for the present. That paper
says" We now therefore, state, on the
authority of the President, that he lends
no countenance to any attempt, from what
ever quarter ii comes. to disturb or unsettle
his administration, as II is. All the state
ments or inferences TO the contrary are
utterly unfounded."

SENATOR CooPER.-Considerable spec
nlation exists among our contemporaries
relative TO the course Mr.. Cooper NAV
pursue on the compromise bills now be-
fore the United States Senate. Some al
lcge that he has purposely avoided voting
on the qucstIon-othcrs that he is pander-
ing TO the Southland third party assert
that he must differ with Mr.. Claws views
OF compromise or insult the wings of
Pennsylvania. We have heretofore diff
iered with Mr.. Cooper on some public
questions, and do so sull-but We must
confess We should have little fault to find
should he, as Senator, take that course
which would be most likely 10 allay the
excitement existing in regard TO slavery,
even II not consonant with his individual
ylews-and if in doing go, his name should
stand recorded by the side of those of
HENRY CLAY, DANIEL WEBSTER, and
others, whose integrity and patriotism are
unquestloned, we certainly would not think
him tar wrong. Senators cannot always
best subserve their country's interest bv
fachonsly adhering to preconceived opin-
IONS something is due to the spirit of our
institutions, whether north or south of
Mason 4 Dixon's line, and unless that
spiEit be Infused into our legislators, this
Union cannot long exist without civil tur-
mol. We say this much without know
ing what course Mr.. Cooper may see pro-
per TO take, and because we think the re-
marks of our cotemporaries are calculated
in some measure, TO place him before the
people in q false position.
