of a re-charter of the bank had been brought
forward at this time. The President and Di-
rectors of the Bank of the State, were. in his
opinion, corporation, and must proceed like
other corporations in their applications for
re.charter. They must give the usual notice of
their intention. The proposition was prema.
ture. The House had certainly been taken by
surprise.
Mr.. Darlington regarded the matter of the
bank as having been fairly put in issue at the
last election. The State, in his opinion, was
not bound to give the notice spoken Of He
was opposed to the charter of banking institu-
tons, and especially at this time, but would in
form members, if the bank of the State were
not to have fair play, he would vote against the
re.charter of any and all banks.
Mr.. Hammond said, this matter had been
much discussed some years ago in the House
His opinion was that the people should uphold
their own institutions. If it was not re-chart.
cred, he would not support the charter of any
other bank.
Mr.. Ashmore said he had told the people Of
his district, that this question of re.charter of
the bank of the State would not be mooted in
the Legislature before 1854 or 5. If the
measure were now forced upon the house, he
must 60 for it.
Mr. Leitner was in favor of the bank of the
State, but did not wish to see it re-chartered
now. If its existence depended, however, on
the present action ofthe Legislature, he should
feel compelled to advocate it.
Mr. Sullivan said, the bank of the State was
not a private corporation. Mr.. Memminger
insisted that it was. Col. Hunt said il was the
peoples bank, and that he should be ashamed
of the President and Directors if they were to
come here and apply for re.charter. The
State could take care Of her own interests and
did not require to give notice to any of its own
intentions.
Mr. Dargan was in favor Of the re-charter
of the bank of the State, but not at the present
session. He would not 60 for its re-charter at
the present session, nor for the permanent char
tersof any bank, although he might vote for
Iaeir temporary re.charter, ift were necessary.
He was not of opinion that the Legislature re-
auired notice of the intention ofth Bank Of
the State to apply for an extension Of its char
| ter.
Mr.. Preston said the subject before the
House was one of very grave interest, and he
hoped members would not be hurried into the
debate before they were prepared for it. For
his own part, he wished time to consider of
it.
Mr.. Ashmore moved that the Committee do
now rise report progress, and beg leave to sit
again tomorrow, at o'clock, which motion
prevailed.

Mr.. Memmnger said the charters of the
other banks applying for re-charter would expire
in December Of the next year. or in January
thereafter ensuing, so that their re charter at
this session was proper. But no petition, no
applicaton, no notice of re charter of this
bank had hitherto met the public eye. That

they were not prepared for it, and the course
was an unfair one.

piled only to individuals or companies making
application. 1t did not and could not apply to

Mr.. Hunt said the objection came with very
little grace from those who made it.

CALIFORNIA FoRTUSE.-The custom house
at San Francisco, which was destroyed by the
recent fire, was owned by Mr.. III. Davis, who
rented it to the government for $4,000 per
month. Davis, who is now, or was previous to
the fire, in the receipt Of over $4,000 per
month, went to California as a cabin boy five
years ago, and was induced to purchase, for 1913,
the lot of ground upon part of which the Gus
som honse stood, but thought 30 little of his

IMPORTANT ARREsr-LAReg RECOVERY OF
COUNTERFEIT CoIN.-The Philadelphia North
American says: "a very important arrest was
made in Baltimore, on Saturday, of man known
by the name of William Stctler, who, it is al
legged, has long been engaged in counterfeiting
tie gold and silver coin of the United States.
District Attorney John W. Ashmead, and U.
s. Marshal Roberts, started for Baltimore on
Saturday morning, and at four o'clock in the af.
ternoon, Stetler had hearing before u S. CON-
missioner in that city. Before they left for Bal
timore, they visited house in Thirteenth street.
near Poplar, Philadelphia, where Settler resided
and there found the implements of hi mint in
the cl aracter Of dies, press, &c. and receipt
book in which was receipt for rent showing
themoney had been paid to the landlord by Stetler
himself.
After a hearing had been had before the CON-
missioner the prisoner was delivered into the
custody of Marshal Roberts, to be taken TO
Philadelphia, where the crime of forgery had
been committed This man had long been looked
upon as the chief coiner of false coin in the
Union, and we understand that the IT, s. district
attorney has sufficient evidence in his hands to
convict him of the crime of forgery.-Some
100000 counterfeit coin is said to have been
found upon his premises in Thirteenth street
lie is to have hearing on Wednesday morning
next.
In addition to the above, we have the follow
ing particulars of this important arrest Some
weeks ago, John Alguar, after his conviction in
Baltimore for passing counterfeit coin, made a
voluntary disclosure to H. Collins Lee, esq.
U, s. dittrict attorney, which implicated several
parties here, in Philadelphia and New York /;
upon which Mr.. Lee at once acted, and through
the agency of Mr. Dorman, police officer, and
Others employed for the purpose in Baltimore,
VIM. Steiler was finally arrested, and in his
house at Philadelphia, all the machinery for
coming, with large quantity Of spurious coin,
were found.--fie is the leader of gang, many
of whom will be arrested through the dis.
closures made by Alguar. Stetler WAS ex-
amned before ]. Hanan, esq, u. s commits
sioner; 4. Collins Lee and L. w. Ashmead,
esqs., appearing for the United States, and c.
II. Phitts, esq, for prisoner, who was sent on TO
Philadelphia for trial. Marshal Roberts accom-.
panied Mr. Ashmead to Baltimore with the in
struments, dyes &c; together with the false
coin found in Stetlers house Mt Philadelphia
and both of these gentlemen have zealously CO.
operated with Mr. Lee in bringing about this
important arrest.
Mr.. Lee has, we understand, visited Phladel-
phia and New York, at the suggestion of the
government, and further arrests will doubtless
follow his prompt action in these cases, which
enttle him TO the thanks of the community and
the government.

Few subjects are more important, and less

THE QUAKERs-Fox, the founder of Quaker
ism, was in the habit of attending public wor-
shipat the established church. When the preacher
uttered sentiments of which he disapproved, he
would most solemnly put on his broad brimmed
hat and take it of again whenever more well
come strain Of doctrine occurred If he had
sat long with his hat on, and the il-sounding
propositions or fulminations continued, he would
rise slowly and silently walk out. Thus it op-
pears that it was for the purpose of babitua pro-
test that the Quakers first learned to sit in places
of worship with their hats on.
