Ia the trials before the Naval Courts at Wash

but that occasion, he had been seen in a
maudlin condition, crying and talking ncOherently.
This WIS, however, after a dinner party. where he
could get drunk without langering the interests
of the service, or damaging anybody but himself
This is no doubt an important distinction, and il
ia observed in the discipline Of common sailors
who if they become Oxicatcd while employed in

when allowed to go on shore to enjoy themselves

The DauyiIle Runks

The DanVille Republican is assailing the Banks Of
that place in a very direct manner. 1t charges
that they have owing to them large amount of
solvent debt the payment Of which is not enforced
and which has been renewed year after year--that
this debt amounts 10 one-third the capital of the
Banks-and that the favoritsm through tins
indulgence establishes an unjust monopoly Of
the funds Of the Banks, and prevents them
from furnishing aid to all interests and classes free
ly and eIuitably. The Republican states that the
trade OF the town is crippled by this state Of things
and it urges that the suspended debt be collected
In this it declares that most Of tho Bank officers
agree with its editors. large suspended Bank
debt is great evil. The Banks here are full
aware OF this. They long ago ripped mp the Old
fashioned accommodation and cross-checking bust
ness.
