Banks and Currency.

In another column in to-day's paper
will be found an article on this subject.
from citizen of distant township. sign
ed "A Native" in reply to some Of the
arguments advanced by "Ohio.'' Pub,
Fishing, as we DO. the only paper in the
county, we feel under some obligation to
publish articles that may differ with our
views of matters; but at the same time we
wish it understood that all discussions
must be carried on in proper manner
A descent TO vtupera!ion and abuse will
not be permitted.
We conceive that "a Native" has ad
vanced positions that are not hard to con-
trovert. lie says, ''better would it be for
the great State OF Ohio to furnish its own
banking facilities" That isno doubt true.
and that was the very claim set up in favor
Of the present banking law OF this State;
but how far short has il fallen from so do
ing. We venture to say that not more
than one-sixlh of our circulation is Ohio
currency. To illustrate. a hundred dol
lars was counted by US the other day,
which was on eighteen different banks,
and yet eighty dollars OF the hundred was
in notes OF five dollars and upwards
Thrty-three dollars of it was on bank
in Kentucky, and but ten dollars was Ohio
currency. Showing that Notwithstanding
the claim that the present banking law was
10 furnish currency for Ohio. it fails al
most entirely so to do.
Again. If the banks were compelled tc
redeem their small notes with si7rer only
) admitting that such law could be passed
t which we doubt, contrary to the constitu
tional pro, son that gold, as we'll as silver
is legal tender,) and that the bank
: should not pay out their small bills after
. certain period, we are Of opinion that tn
: same thing "Ohio" desires would be &C
complshed. to wit: To drive the sma
bills entirely out of existence. Comps
e the banks to adopt "a Natives" plan an
y you at once do away with bills Of les
IS denomination than five dollars. At til
: present time the banks would not issu
: small bills il they were compelled 10 r,
IS deem them in silver only, for the simp1
y reason that they could not do it.
,. But we leave "a Native'' in the hanc
D. of "Ohio, confident that "Olrio'' will full
r r answer any objections or arguments al
vanced by him.

Fearful Leap.

Yesterday morning. about 10 o'clock,
young lady appro ached the Suspension
Bridge from this side. and when asked for
her toll, inquired Of the gate keeper how
much it was, and when told the price 10
the Island, replied that she did not think
she was going that far. and said she ought
to go for half price as she was ouly going
to the middle of the bridge. lie took the
toll she offered. and she proceeded on her
way. When she reached the place where
the iron cables touch the railing, at nearly
the highest part Of the bridge, Mr.. Geo
Downey, the toll collector, observed her
climbing up the railing and removing her
bonnet and shawl lie ran to her only in
time 10 catch the mantilla which she wore.
when she broke from his grasp and leaped
to the stream below, distance, even al
the present high stage of wafer, OF not
less than sereniy-eigh feet! The current
was full Of floating ice and her destruction
seemed inevitable; she sank-then rose
then plunged wildly in the swollen torrent
Hoated onward amid the torrent of ice
with nothing but her head and one hand
occasionally visible. Several men in a
skiff put out from some boat lying at the
wharf, the Fort Pitt, we believe. followed
her, gave her up as lost several times, but
each time renewed the chase and finally
picked her up alive but insensible, alter she
had been in the water nearly half an hour!
Restoratives were speedily applied. and
she was removed to the house Of friends
where. we understand, she is gradually re-
fI covering from injuries sustained from the
ice and cold.
The leap was one of the desperate
and the escape from instant death the mos
! miraculous we have ever recorded or eve
seen recorded. Had ii been man, h,
would doubtless have gone down heat
foremost. struck the water with his heat
and never rose again. Her clothes M
9 doubt kept her head uppermost as she wa
/ falling, and buoyed her up when she 60
e in the stream.
The heroine of this adventure is a youn
unmarried lady whose name we omit a
the solicitation Of her friends. and who ha
e lived here for some five years, supportin
> herself by her work as seamstress.-
;, Those with whom she has resided give he
an irreproachable character. The CON

70 know nothing. A young man Of this cit

said to have Withdrawn his attentions lat
