WHEELING BRIDGE CAsR.-Agan public
attention is attracted 10 the Wheeling Bridge.
The case is one Of much interest. Accord.
ing TO the decree Of The U. S. Supreme
Courl, the bridge must either be elevated or
removed by The 10Th Of This month. Since
that decree was pronounced. however, Con. |
gress has declared the Bridge post route
thus legalizing the structure, SO far as our
national legislature has power to legnize
what the Court has declared nuisance
Here arises u conflict between diffrren, de.
parimenls. Which will prevail, the egis.
a.ive or the judiciaryi The query mus,
soon be solved and the result is awaited with
anxiety. Parkersbwgh Gaz.
The ATHENS BANK.-The Athens Bank,
says the Messenger, has capital Of $780,.
600; but under the law of last winner, is
taxed on $287 900, or $l87 900 more than
the whole sum invested in The banki There

return and pay the tax required by The char.
ter. but the Legislature has imposed this
unjust tax in direc. violation Of The charter.
Judge Nash has enjoned tho Treasurer
from collecting this unconstitutional TAX

The question Of establishing a min, in
New York is again undergoing discussion in
Congress. There is no doubt that New
York, as the grea. commercial center OF The
Union, is the proper place for the ransac-
lion Of this business. But, as the mint is
we'll established at Philadelphia, and in its
presen, organization is capable Of doing all
tho business required, il seems like an un-
necessary expense to appropriate quarter
or q half million Of dollars 10 build up new
es,a ,ablishmen, in New York. We presume,
however, that they will sick 10 the subject
ill they succeed. There are, no doubt,
better reasons for il than for many appropri-
atoms that are made by Congress.-State
