sHINPI,AsTERS

After rather arduous struggle law was OBJ
tanned in this State requiring its country banks
to provide for the redemption of their bills in
the City at a moderate and reasonable rate of
discount. Its effect was to benefit the public,
and to diminish the profits of class of deal
ers in money whose business was to keep the
notes of distant banks at the highet possible
shave, andto make fat proftsby having them put
in circulation here at par in the form of wages
to laboring people, and then buying them in
again at this heavy shave. To this business
the law put an end.
An attempt is now made to restore it by get.
ting into circulation the notes of certain fancy
banks in Illinois and Indiana. An arrange
ment has been entered into with a bank Of the
City, whereby it receives on deposit the bills
of those banks at discount of three quarters
per cent, and then hands them ever to the
brokers at discount of fye-eights per cent.
The brokers then lend them out to master
wOrkmen and employers who pay them TO their
laborers at par, and thus this deprecated cur
rency is kept in movement and retained here
excluding from circulation about three mil
lions as it is estimated, Of the bills of our own
banks.
A petition TO arrest the operations of this
shaying-mill is about to be presented TO the
Legislature signed By many of the most sub
stantial and influential business men of the City.
All that is asked is that law should forbid our
banks to receive on deposit the bank notes of
other States at higher rate Of discount than
our own country notes. This will eTectually
protect the public and secure the end contem-
plated by previous legislation. We trust that
the petition viii be granted, and the commu.
nifty saved from the deprecated currency
sought to be forced upon it.

A WORD TO MICHIGAN.

The Legislature of Michigan has seen fit, by
a very decided vote, 10 pass Prohibitory
Liquor Law, after the pattern Of Maine, to
take effect speedily or very remotely as the
people by direct vote shall determine. In
passing this act, diverse influences and inter-
ests doubtless have co0perated. The earnest
and single minded advocates of Temperance
we're felt init Of course; but some of those ad
yersaries who regard the suppression of Tip.
pling-hOuses as the fanatic dreams of enthu-
sissts consented to the enactment, calculating
that the People would vote No, and so knock
Prohibition On the head, for some years st least.
And they will privately justify their vote TO
Rumsellers on this very ground.
Friends in Michigan this calculation is no,
so futile as you may be inclined to believe ID
There are great many every where, and of
course in your State, who dearly Ike Alcoholic

ii. Lasalle the proprietor of the Courier des

certain maleyoleDt assertions Of the Satanic Press
specting him, and at the same time suggests one or
two little points in the history of that voracious Journal
which are curious TO cay the least 1t according
to NJ Lasse that Paris correspondent of the Satanic

letters had the honor 10 receive from Louis Napoeons

n The Senate having killed the Pacific
Railroad bill, and having yesterday voted down
Mr. WALKERS excellent proposition to appro
pirate to the Road alternate sections Of land
along the line giving the other sections gratui-
tously in small quantities to actual settlers,
finally passed an appropriation for survey of
the different routes. This is something, though
much less than We hoped for If the survey
were to be made not by the Government, but
by an independent Company, it would be done
quite as well and great deal more rapidly,
and all the time that will now be required to
report and get Congress to act again on the
question, might be employed in actual work
on the building of the road. However, il is a
consolation to have even the assurance Of this
survey that the slow coaches of the Senate
are not entirely stubborn to the will Of the
country, The road must be had, and the
sooner il is efficiently begun the better. No
time ought to be lost but we must take what
we get without grumbing.
The same Senate decided in favor of a
wagon road to be made from the Mississippi
to California right off without preliminary sur
vey. Those Democratic Senators who thought
the Constitution would not allow of a railroad,
found no such iRsurmountable difficulty in the
way OF wagon road The nicely of the dis
tnction does credit to their logical acumen.
