/. LEGISLATIVE. "A bill is before The
Ohio Legislature TO punish FOR the adutera-
lon Of liquors. The Stale Journrl says:
This.is really OF some importance. In
years past, bad liquors have given some Of
the members deHriam tremens, and The thing
should be stopped! The bill will no doubt
pass by large majority
A'biil is also before the Senate TO prohibit
The circulation Of foreign bank bills Of less
denomination than ten dollars. The penal.
" for offending is $40, 10 be, recovered in
an action Of debt. by any one--one-half 10
go 10 the informer The offender is also
made liable TO redeem The bills in specie.
The Journal says, Of this measure:
The politicians in power. are fast ac-
complishingihe object. They have declared
war upon ali banks, and have sworn 10 re-
nit no effor, that shall lend 10 drive them
out of existence. They are taxed enorm-
ously. and kicked end cufiad on all proper
and improper occasions. The stockholders
in these banks soc and know these things
They see that the De1npcfa,c Sale Of ln,
diana has passed bank law which tends 10
invite, rather than repel capital, and they are
now fas. transferring their cash from OHIO lt
that Sla,e. |, is perhaps proper lor the bus
iness men. and the people Of all classes il
Ohio 10 look this subject square in The face
and 10 ask themselves the question whether
our policy is the proper one Tor our best in

If This bill passes, will it be enforced? ]
so, what are we 10 do for small bilIsl Cal
we get a supply of our own Banks? viii
all the help they have from abroad, they
cannot now supply the demand win lh'
gold and silver flow in 10 take It's place
That is The theory, but we are afraid it is al
lalacy. The measure would have mucl
more plausbilily. il our own banks were en-
couraged and there was chance Of gettin,
anything like supply from Them. The BIZ
we presume will pass, and then we shall se
what we shall see."
