The Discredited Banls-All taken Except the
stock Security Bank Of Danviile.


We have better news this morning relative
to the discredhed Illinois Banks. One or
two notes of all of them from their regular
customers, Saturday throughout, and before
the close Of banking hours Others followed the
example. The notes Of the Stock Security
Bank, we are informed, will not be received
hereafter. or at least not until some satisfac-
tory arrangement shall have been made with
reference to the California securities held by
the Auditor on account,of that bank. The
Marine Bank, II. X. Swift, Brother g. John
stone, HUFFMAN g. Gelpoke, T.. I. Tinkham
Il Co, the bank OF Commerce, and Officer &
Brother, receive the notes Of the Rushvilc
Bank, the Prairie State Bank and the Peoples
Bank, from their. regular customers. This
secures their reception at par in all business
transactions.
We are much gratiied TO state that the
furry in regard to the above banks, does not
seem to have impaired the public confidence
in the other stock.securcd banks Of the state.
IL is to be hopcdthnt the excitement will en-
tirely pass awayiu day or two. Meanwhile
we urge upon the Legislature of Illinois and
Wisconsin, both of which arc now in session,
the Importance Of making, without delay
such amendments to the banking laws Of their
retrospective States, ms arc necessary to pre-
vent irresponsible parties from doing business
under them. If this isldonc, all may yet be
we'll. Ifitie not, then We would sdvisc every
body to shorten sail and look out for breakers.

Judge Davies proceeded to charge the jury.
