report present the following -irrefrag-

Of their recommendations, to which
ask your earnest attention:
'The creation of so many new Banks
at the last session of the Legislature
in addition to those that existed
before, produce so much competi.
ton between them as will, in all pro
liability, reduce the business and prof.
its OF each to a point SO low as not to
justify the continuance of all of them;
and in the conflicts likely to arise
from such competition, an Institution
belonging to the State, organized as
the Bank ofthe State is at present,
is likely to be made the victim Of the
selfishness and cunning Of Others
more interested and more skillfnl in
their management haninexperienced
citizens can be; and as the Legisla-
ture cannot now recall the charters
granted to others, the Directors
have come to the conclusion, with
great unanimity, and from settled
conviction, that the best interests Of

Wilmot's Resignation.

AZ last we have the truth on this sub
iect, and Just as we expected, it contrad.
tets the statements made by the Black Re-
publican newspapers. They have asserted
that Wilmot resigned in order to challenge
GrN. PACKER for stumpiug tour, and
that the Democratic tate Committee were
stupid in not knowing that Wilmot had
resigned, when they rejected the stumping
project. A considerable quantity of slang
has been expended by them on this topic.
Now, to the fac's. Wilmot's letter to Gen.
Packer is dated July 14th--Gen Packers
to the Committee the 17th.-lho answer
Of the Committee the 25th-and finally
Gen. Packers reply to Wilmot the 9th
of July. Wilmot's resignation, Of his
judgeship is dated July 29th--" to take
effect upon the appointment of his slcces-
sor," which was made by the Governor on
9Th Of August. This is the official iuform-
alton as to dates from the Office of the Sec
retary Of the Commonwealth, aud it shows
that Wiimot was holding the Office of Judge
when his challenge was rejected and that
he resigned only upon receiving the letter
of the State Committee with Gen. Packer S
reply Of 9th Of July.

EXECUTION OF M'KIM.-On Thursday
last, M Kim, the murderer of Norcross, who
was executed yesterday, was brought down
into the Jail yard for the purpose of having
his photograph taken. He appeared
cheerful and light-hearted, as much SO as
any present and drew up the bottoms of his
pantaloons, and stated that he wanted the
irons about his legs to show in the picture.
He has ordered his coffin, aud shroud, being
anxious to look upon them. They arc
being made. The coffin will be good
one. After he is placed in it, his BODY
will be given iuto the charge of his friends
who will remove it to Marcus Hook, to be
buried according to his request. The
gallows is the same upon which Shirley was
executed, for the murder of his wife, in
1854. The rope to be used by Sheriff Port
was made in Philadelphia.

Fruits of Black Republicanism.

Every man who has the good of the
negroes at heart must deprecatc the course
pursued by the Black Republican party
toward them. The affected aud unnatural
sympathy with which their presses and
their orators have teemed, have aroused
and awakened in the breasts Of lhe blacks,
hopes never to be realized, desire for po-
sitions never to be attained. It has made
them dissatisfied with their present position,
without making it possible for them to
reach any other. 1t has made them impu.
dent and assuming, wi ,hout giving them
any claim to the social equality which they
demand. There is and always will be an
antagonism Of races, and oil the Black
Republicanism in the world cannot bring
about the change, for which their mos;
insane political course has induc,d the
African to look. No good ever has result
ed, nor ever can result, from this suicidal
attempt, end it is time the negroes know
the fact. We copy below q case in point.

From The Rochester Uaion, fugust 6l
ARRAY between a SOutherner aud a
Waiter, at Niagara Falls,

An affray occurred at Niagara Falls
yesterday morning, causing o considerable
excitement here. The particulars of the
cse are stated to us by different parties
substantially as follows "A gentleman
from the South-Kentucky or Missouri
with his wife and daughter, we're stopping
at the international Hotel. On Tuesday
they we're on the Canada side, and took a
ferry skiff to return A ter the ladies had
taken seats in the skiff al impudcnt color
ed man took scat between them The
gentleman who accompanied these ladies,
the husband of uno and father of the other,
requested the negro politely to leave the
seat that he might occupy it. The fellow
refused to change his seat, and gave abu.
sive language in return for politcncss. The
white man elected the black man by force
from the seat and choked him some.
Yesterday morning the man and his
wife came to tho break fast table of the
International later than usual, and otter
nearly all the guests had left the dining
room. After taking his seat at the tabo
beside his wife, the negro with whom ho
had the alteration in the sbiGr on the
previous day, came up to him and said,
You are the man who choked me yester
day" The reply was "Yes, and ought
to have thrown you into the rivor."
At this point the black fellow struck
the man on the head with heavy tumbler,
telling him sonselcss to the hocr, The
wife Of the gentleman thus assaulted rose,
and with commcndable hcroism dealt the
fellow blow which restrained him -
Without an Instant Of delay, she ran up
stairs to the room she occupied, and finding
the door locked, her husband having the
key, she burst the door open, seized re-
volvor, and ran to the dining room. BY
this time the III OK walters had passed their
companion out Of the house and out Of i'm.

NEGLECTED DEAD.

We noticed some time since in the NOT

Albemarle county. The estate has long
since passed away from his family, and
his remains now resi- III soil owned by
strangers. plain tombstone once mark

visit 10 his final resting place took away
a small portion as memenio, until II has
almost entirely disappeared. While Vir-
GINA is making appropriations TO have
statues Of the author of The Declaration OF
Independence cast in bronze 10 grace her
Washington Monument, and 10 be set up
as an ornament in her University, would
II not be well TO have lns grave enclosed
and protected from the depredaiions OF
those who make So frequent plgrimages

This neglect of the mighty dead in Vir-
sinia is not confined Ia the ease OF Jefier-
son. Patrick Henry lies buried in the
county Of Charlotte, not only without

1t is shame upon the State ef irgtn-
