Scene IN Western BquE One OF our
Western correspondents tells the story OF
manWho had draft on ono of the banks. in
illinois for three thousand dollars, for
which he dcmnnGed specie. The bank of
licers invited the applicant to come behind
the counter, which invitation was accepted
when the door Of the bank safe was opened
and the officer addressed the following lam
guage to his visitor "Say, stranger, look
il, that -f.artlssr- corner ef-this safe and you
will see small pile Of gold. Now, that
pile is the least possible sum that the law
will allow us to keep on hand, a wasting,
while we are banking institution /; and
You think that am going to break one Of
our state laws to pay you in specie you
don't know who am. You never wornged
me, and have no i'll will against you, but
take care how You run on our bank, or
| will bring out orr revovers." The
stranger took bills for his draft.-Traas-

ion that liquor can be sold freely between
the lst Of May and the 4th of July, as the
present licenses expire on the first named

mean time there is no power to prohibit

rious Know .Nothing days, amid all tho IN.
tcligcnce Of the l9lh century,wc are about
to have established a grand Inquisloral or.
ganizalion which will lar eclipse the bloody
Inquisition Of old Spain. Now hat the
elections have passed, the Know Nothings
are making great preparations tor Il thor
ou.h investigation into the conduct of tie
faithful on tho occasions alluded to. We
have had n long interview with irother
the 9th Ward, and the grand Sanhedrm
fug!eman Of the Order in ths part of the
State, aud we are arranging ihc programme
OF proceedings tho investigation will be
very thorough and the gully must and shall

the First Ward, and go through with all
the Wards; they are well whipped in in thc
First, under the guidance and dictatorship

and especially in the bloody Fourth There

companions in their midnight Vaccinations.
After the Council of that Ward is purged,
and for long years TO come, :he old Distil-
lery will bc a haunted spot, and will be
pointed at with terror as the scene of the
great massacre, for political opinions sake,
after the Spring elections Of 1855. None

~ OSs of the most Singular. and pre-
posterous iniatuations in regard TO. Know
J Nolhingism, which has occurred, especially
in this vicinity, is the election of James w.
fCurtis as Alderman from the Fifth Ward
lover John G. Weaver. Many menin that
Ward, who were particularly anxious that
Mr.. Weaver should be candidate Tor the
Office, last year, voted for Mr.. Curtis this
year,--and gave as a reason therefor that
. they were afraid that MIR. Weaver would
be too extrayagant in the expenditure Of
money. Now let US enquire into this sim
gular reasoning little. BY the Tax Book
for last year. we find that Mr.. Weaver paid
taxes on sirty fre thousand dollars, in this
city, and that Mr., Curtis paid a tax on one
thousand dollars, personal property. Mr..
Weaver's tax amounted last year to hcO
hundred and torty.Scrcn dollars, and Mr.
Curtis tax amounted TO three doLlars and
eighty cents. Now we ask any reasonable
man who would be most likely to be &C on
omical in the expenditure of money, MIR.
Weaver or Dir. Curtis, when the former
pays about sixty times as much tax as the
latter The question is too plain to re-
quire an answer. Mr. Weaver is New
port man, and no one among us has the in
terests of the city more at heart, and no .
man has done so much for.the prosperity Of
the place, as John G. Wcaver,-lor is great
impetus as a fashionable watering place
was given by him. Mr.. Curtis is a very
worthy man, but he has only resided here
about three or four years, and has compar-
aliyely bat liule at stake, either in proper.
ty or feeling, when placed by the side Of
John G.. Weaver. This is one OF the in
fatuations Of Know Nothingism, and somo
of the fruit this ridiculous humbug. We
want the people TO have enough Of it, for,
as we have before remarked, the more ri
diculous the thing is made, tho more brief
will It's existence be.

the validity of the receipts says he had received
no equivalent, but was persuaded to give them.
