Commonwealth vs.. United States Bank.

On Wednesday last, in the District
Court of Philadelphia, before Judge
Sharswood, the suit of the Commonwealth
against the Bank of the United States was
brought TO a conclusion, SO far as the de-
termination OF the facts is concerned, by
a verdict for the plaintiff for 5 Il ,2O3.75O 90.
10 the sagaclous, energetic action of tue
present accounting officers. Messrs. Blckel
and Purvlauce, The rescue of this immense
sum is 10 be attributed. 1t will be recol-
lected that by the charter wrung from the
Legislature by the clanorous solicitation
OF The moneyeI interests aided by the no
less cogent arguments OF the bank itself,
it was provided that IN lieu Of taxation,
and as price of the franchise sold by the
Stale, the bank should pay 10 the State
Treasurer for the use OF the common
schools, the sum of TWO millions OF dol
lars. in the annual instalmenIs of one
hundred thousand each. These instalments
were paid down 10 1871, when the bank
made series OF assignments for the os-
tenslble purpose Of winding up her affairs,
and diSbursIng the property assigned
among her creditors. Instead of doing
this however the property SO assigned.
with the exception ot few IghI dividends,
remained in The hands of tue trustees down

presented her claim; the trustees. who
were salarled officers. paying no taxes
therefor, and until required, III the last

the accounting department, making no

chase money, That the bank had since 4
ceased the exercise of banking privileges,
and had made the assignments III question,

department on The success with which It's

To Our Patrons.

With this number ceases our connection
with the MOUNTAIN SENTINEL. We have
disposed of the establishment 10 Mr.. A. J..
RHEy, of Ebensburg, by whom the paper
will be hereafter conducted. Mr.. Rhey.
who was born and raised within the limits
of Cambria county, is too well known to
her citizens 10 require an introduction al
our hands. HI is, however, young man
of very considerable abilities as writer,
sincere and devoted democrat, and enti-
tied 10 the confidence and patronage of the
party. II is a matter of qualification TO US
that we have been able TO consign the es-
iablishment into the hands Of man whom
we know possesses both the ability and
disposition 10 conduct the paper in man.
ner that will not only be creditable to him
self, but that will add to the strength and
harmony Of the Parts. We trust that the
same liberal patronage which has been
bestowed upon US, will be extended to him.
By this arrangement, Mr.. Rhey is emil
lied to all that i*aile on subscription since
the first of January last, and those who
have paid in advance. will be furnished
with the numbers to which they are en-.
lied.
II IS nearly seven years since we COM
menced the publication OF the Sentinel,
and the memory OF the many kind favors
which We have received al the hands of
the citizens Of Cambria, makes US surren-
der our post with feelings of regret. To
those friends who have sustained and en-.
couraged us during that time, we beg, IN
taking our leave, 10 tender our heartfelt
acknowledgements, and to assure them that
their kindness will occupy place in our
memory during life.

perceive the names of large number OF
leading citizens throughout the State.

JOHN G.. GIVEN.
To The Public.

We have the pleasure of announcing 10
our friends and to the patrons of the
"Mounialn Sentinel that we have become
the proprietor, and will in future conduct
the editorial columns Of this paper. In
assuming this position we are aware of the
disadvantages under which we labor, on
account of our inexperience in political
affairs, the consciousness of our inability
to conduct paper, as well as we would
desire 10 do. and owing to the state of po-
litcal feeling which has existed here for
years past, whereby sections of the demo-
cratic party have been estranged from each
other, and IN course of separate action
have brought defeat upon the members of
the party. To heal all such differences
shall be our object, and we wish to be un-
derstood that we have no connection with
either Of the factions of the democratic
party that have been battling against each
other for some time past. We are not the
exponent OF the views or measures of any
clique, or body of politicians. We have
been educated in the faith and correct
principles of the democratic party, to the
advancement and defence of those princi
Piles our paper shall be devoted, and shall
be supported to the best of our ability,
rather seeking 10 further the interests Of
the party by compromise and union, than
TO destroy the organization of the same by
IN opposite course. We shall respect and
advocate the will Of the majority. and
shall at all times be found willing to do
our utmost for The regularly nominated
candidates, supporting the doctrine of prin-
ciples. not men. We shall strongly op-
pose our whig friends on account Of their
doctrines and their party, and shall not
suffer the private character of any individ-
ual to be assailed. To the patrons and
supporters of the Sentinel, we would say
that we are desirous of their continuing
their subscriptions and patronage with us,
and we shall endeavor TO recompenso them
BY our paper as much as in our power.

lirabean's Funeral Grafton on the Death oil
franklin.

The recent celebration of the anniversa-
ry OF Frankln's birthday has brought Out
some interesting renIscences. Among The
rest is The funeral oralIon on his death
pronounced by the eloquent and gifted
Mirabeau. in the National Assembly of
France, on the Ith OF June, 1860. Mark
Anthony Grafton over Cesar's dead body
can scarcely surpass il III simple, soul
thrilling eloquence.
"FrankIin is dead A profound silence
reigned throughout the hall. The genius
" hich gave birth 10 America and scattered
torrents of light upon Europe, is returned
TO The bosom OF The Divinity!
"The sage, whom Two worlds claim, the
man disputed by the history of the scien-
ces and the history of empires, holds, un-
doubledly, an elevated rank among the
human species.
"Puliucal cabinets have but too long
commemorated the death of those who
were never great but in their funeral ora
Iions; the etiquette of court has too long
sanctioned hypocrItical grief. Nations
ought only 10 mourn for their benefactors;
the representatives OF freemen ought never
to recommend any other than the heroes
of humanity to their homage.
':The Congress has ordered a general
mourning for one month throughout the
fourteen confederate states, OH account OF
the death of Franklin; and America has
thus acquitted her tribute of admiration in
behalf of one of the fathers Of her consli-
tuition.
Nv ould it not be worthy of you, fellow
Legislators, To unite yourselves in this reIi-
gIous act TO participate in This homage
rendered in the face of the universe to the
rights of man, and 10 The philosopher who
has SO eminently propagaled the conquest
OF them throughout The world!
"Anuquity would have elevated altars

the human race, embracing both heaven

how to subdde thunder and tyranny.

owes its remembrance and lis regret 10

The cause of philosophy and of liberty.

To do more harm 10 the unfortunate labor

COnemangh County.
documents

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature. for the erection Of the new
county Of Conemaugh, ou: OF parts Of
Cambria, Indiana, Westmoreland, and
Somerset, and has been referred 10
select committee Of five, consisting of
MessTs. Linton, O'Neill, Fife, Ross, and
Patton. We have no. been able to Law
our hands on the proceedings in relation
TO this matter, but understand the above
to be the facts Of the case, and it has
been represented to US that the committee
are favorable to the erection of said
county. IL is we'll known fact that our
Representative, Mr.. Linton, was elected
on the grounds that he would oppose the
bill erecting said county out Of part of
Little Cambria, and we have confidence
in his declarations, although he probably
has had numerous petitions forwarded to
him in favor of this bill. We sincerely
hope that any effort TO dismember this
county will prove futile. Our county
now is one of the smallest in the State,
having population of only 1900, and
to lessen its present limits would be an
outrage tina, would be duly remembered.
We protest against this bill, and are fully
satisfied that nine-fenths of the inhabitants
and voters Of this county are firmly op-
posed to any reduction Of our present
limits. We hope the committee will re
por, against the bill for new county,
and if such should not be the case. we
look 10 the House for the defeat of the
same. Some action should be taken here
on this matter before it is TOO late. Re-
monstrances should be forwa rded to our
Representative.
