DECISION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
BANK The Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania
on Thursday, affirmed two judgments of the
District Court in snits brought by the Common
wealth against U. S. Bank, to recover the &C.
tual bonus secured in the charter to the State,
Of 100000, due for nine years. The bank
resisted the claim on the ground that it had
ceased to exercise the functions and franchises
Of banking, and had assigned all its property in
trust for its creditors. The Commonwealth in
sisted that, as the stockholders annually elected
directors, and frequently held meetings, they
had not given Up the franchises granted by the
State aud that the bank was therefore, bonnd
to pay the animal bonus demanded The Su.
preme Court sustained this position, and the
State has, therefore, a settled claim against the
Bank for 81 300 900.

II Is NOW pretty evident, from movements in Con

soon make the printing partizan job. Heretofore,
millions have been wasted ppon party organs
Tens ofihousahds of sheets have been printed tha,
never we're sent out TO the people. The iehe paper
upon which documents printed costs eeren cents
pound, and these verydocumenis, in great alum
dance, go 10 the contectienersand grocers at three

its printing as it does its writing and benefits would
