Has State right to secede,i is aquestion which
is Just now very ably discussed in some of the
Southern papers. The Virginia Resolutions of
1898 have been supposed to favor such doctrines,
but we are told that sit will appear from Mr. Mad
isons papers, now in the possession of the Gov
eminent, but as yet unpublished, that Mr.. Madison
himself did not SO consider Them" Among the
papers referred to, it is said several very able
essays in strong opposition to the notification and
secession principles that have prevailed in South
Caroina,-and which have been advocated to a
considerable extent in other States.

INDEPENDENT BANKS.

AS sample of the laws passedby the late
Legislature for the establishment of the ten new
banks. of which we gave list yesterday, we in
sert copy of the act authorizing the Bank of
the Old Dominion" at Alexandria, which, by
the way, the Gazette of that city states, will pro-
badly be put into operation at an early day.
These banks are more properly described as
Independent, than as Free banks. The phrase
.tFree Banking is derived from the legislation
of the State of New York. where, in the year
1888, general law was passed, authorizing every
individual or association, to engage IN the busl-
ness OF banking, upon depositing with the Comp
troNer stocks of the United States, or of any
State, which should be equivalent to five per
cent stock, or such stocks and bonds and mort
cages on real property worth double the amount
of the mortgage and bearing six per cent interest
As the law allowed every body to erect bank on
these conditions, the system was very properly
STYLED the Stree bank system" This general law
of New York has undergone various important
modif cations, which we shall endeavour at some
future time, to explain for the better understand
ing of the plan of banking sanctioned by our re-
cent legislation. For example, in 1914, law was
passed, requiring individuals to deposite securities
to the amount of $50, o00 and associations to the
amount of 100000. In l64S, the stocks deposi-
ted were required to be those of New York, and
equivalent TO six per cent stock, and the bonds
and mortgages to bear 7 per cent interest In
lS49, one half the stocks deposited were allowed
TO be stocks OF the United States being made equal
IL.
for gradually converting the ordinary banks (safe-
tv fund banks as they are called in New York;
into Independent Banks; and the liability of the
individual stockholder was defined to extend to an
additional amount equal to the stock held by him.
Banks of this character are called Independent
Banks, with special proprety in this State, be-
cause they are to be distinguished fomthe old banks
with numerous branches. Each one stands upon
its own footing; its credit is assured by the stocks
or guaranteed bonds deposited with the Treasurer
and it has no branch circulation 10 be accounta
Bile for The new system, if ]udlclously carried
out, and with a proper regard to the lights to bt
gained from the experience of New York, will
tend very much to break up the present inconve
nient system of branches, which makes necessar,
the practice adopted by all our present banks, o
cashing their notes only at the place of issue
concomitant with which is the invarable precau
ton of put ting the notes into circulation as far
possible from the counties where they are paya
Bile. and this is the reason why Virginia money is
in all the Northern markets, rated one cent below
par.
1t seems to be due to the impo rance of Rich
rnond as a commercial centre, that an lndepen
dent Bank" with adequate capital, should be es
tablished here.

A SECOND CONCERT OLE TEDESCO.


We have recently had such raj id succession Of
musical celebrities in r Richmond that the time is
y fortunate tor the presence of the far famed TEDEsco
amongst 1t useless tel connoisseurs that
as pima donna, Tedesco's reputation is not inferior
to that OF any artistic who sang in America. Her
performances ia the best operate roupes and particu
lary the great Italian opera of Havana have made her
name justly celebrated We had the good fortune
which regret that, by ofwesther, bad arrange
men;s, &C., many had not-ofbeng present at her con-
cert Wednesday evening. Notwithstanding all we had
heard in her pra Use, she exceeded our expectations
Her voice is Indeed wonderful, possessing far more
volume and greater range than ParodIs, though it is
perhaps not decately meodious. 1t scars with ease

yet is capable OF the soltes harmones Sgnor Macchi
Tedescos musical companlon is really we suppose as
the bills represent him, the best claronet player in
America. The instrument, in his hands, becomes al
most new creation, and its sounds are as gentle as
the sweet South, that breathes upon bed of voles,
stealing and giving odour." The Germana Band ex-
celled itself Wednesday evening, performing in the fin
est STYLE of noblest pieces of the best composers
A march from al Profeta,' Meyerbeer's famous new
opera, was played particularly well.
With such materials, the public needs not to be assured
that the second concert announced for night ought
to attract every lover of music, and every one who
pretends to appreciate it. The programme promises
rich treat, Tedesco singing three separate pieces in
appropriate costumes, viz: "La Faporita ,""Linda de

Renresenialion in MaruZand.


The State Convention of Maryland. now in ses-
sion at Annapolis, has, like that OF our own State
been, for some tme in travail with the question of
representation The principal issue has been, not
so much between the white and mixed basis, as
whether the city of Baltimore shall have repre-
sentation pari passu with other constituencies
Some of the city delegation have contended that
the city should have as many as twenty-four dele
gates. On Tuesday last, the Convention reach
ed a final vote, and adopted the following PROPOSE
ton offered by Mr. Grason as substitute to anoth-
er plan then under consideration
The Legislature at its session after each census
shall apportion the members OF the House OF Delegates
among the counties according TO population, always
giving Baltimore city three than the largest coun
ty; county TO have less than q aggregate never to
exceed 80, be less than sxty-ve and until the next
census, Baltimore city TO have .; Baltimore and trede
rick counties 6; Washington 5; Allegheny and Som
erset A. Montgomery, Charles, Howard, Calvert, St.
Mays Caroline Talbot, Queen Annes and Kent 2;
and the other counties each.
On motion of Mr. Thomas the substitute amen
ded to allow Baltimore city four instead OF three
than the largest county and 10 instead OF dele
gates until another apportlonnent.
The vote on adopting the substitute was ayes
AZ, noes 40; and the vote on inserting it in the
constitution was the same. 1t appears that most
of the Wing members voted against the prope-
sition.
