JAMES BUCHANAN.

The Londonderry Standard, an
Irish paper, says: the grandfather
of the President elect Of the United
States vas a farmer in the parish Of
Drumragh, in the county Of Tyrone,
in ireland. This fact, If it be a fact,
can neither add nor diminish any
thing with regard to the reputation
of James Buchanan. All our ances-
tors came from England, Ireland,
Germany, or some other place. Mr..
Buchanan has been chosen by the
American people as their next presi-
dent, and if his ancestors came from
old Ireland, he is none the worse for
that. The people will look, not to bis
lineage, but to bis principles and pol
icy, for the next four years.

BANKS.


Our latest advices from the Bank
of East Tennessee are that its notes
are selling at 1880 q cent. dis
They will probably not be worth any
more. A good many hereabouts en-
terrain tn opinion that there has been
swindliug in the management OF that
institution-and We are not disposed
to eontrovert their belief.
The Commercial Bank of Tennessee
at Memphis has circulation of S47,-
100. Its specie amounts to Sl2,3l2,
and notes of other banks S40,4oo.
Its circulation is also secured by a
deposit of $4,000 il Tennessee
State Stocks.
The Ocoee Bank, at Cleveland,
Tenn, has a circulation Of S27S,S75,
lue, Depositors SCI, 507, etc-total
immediate liabilities $349,949. Its
immediate means are, specie $685.
769, notes Of other banks 81 $40, due
from other banks So, eT5, etc.
total Sl44,104 to which. may be
added $4,000 Tennessee State
Bonds. Its discounted notes amount
to S331,21I. Its discounted notes
can't be relied upon to meet run
FOR coin.
The State Bank Of Tennessee and
Branches have total circulation o
Sl,565,S76, due to banks S252,50l,
sdue DgpositOrs $l,04o,66l. Theil
specie amounts to ST98, 936, note;
of other Banks sl57,27O, due from
other Banks S4l4,542, Domestic
Bills S2,O5l,46S, Discounted note
Sl,592,72S, State Bonds discounted
S5SS,223. Their condition appears
to be sound, safe and reliable.
The Bank of Chattanooga has
circulation of 1892, and it
specie is 33,427.
The Banks of North Carolina hav'
S4,49s,052 in exchange and specie
while their circulation and Opposite
amount to S7,O72,79S, and their dis
counted notes reach S., O0O,OOt
They exhibit a condition of grea

Price of Wool in New York.

The high, price which wool now
commands, deters consumers from
purchasing beyond their absolute
wants.
The transactions in fleece wool for
the week, reached only about $780,
900 los, in lots, at from 45 to SOC.
as to quality. Choice fleece sell in
a small way, at 60@621c, 6 mos.
Pulled wool is in meagre supply, and
prices are very firm. Sales, $4,000
lbs. at 39@40e. for super, and 45@
46, for extra country. In foreign
there is bat little doing, from the
fact of there being no stock of mod
crate here. Prices, therefore, rule
very firm.
American Saxony is worth from
90 to 60; foil blooded Merino, so TO

We hear of no sales in Cleveland.

JNo. L. T. SNEED,
Attorney General.

A PERPETUAL GovERNoR.-It
seems that owing to the laundering
of the last Legislature of Mississip-
pi, that State has a perpetual Gov
ernor. The Natchez Free Trader
says:
@In his late message to the Legis-
lature on this subject, which we
publish this morning, Governor Nc
Rae says that he is Governor for
life. We should have no objection
to bis being governor of Mississippi
for many years to come; but the Or
ganic law Of the State provides that
the Governor shall be elected every
two years. But it seems that the
botch work Of the Legislature OF
1854, in submitting changes to the
Constitution, have managed to make
the term Of Governorship perpetual;
and no one can tell when the official
term of the Judges and members
of the Legislature will expire
The whole affair is in mud, and for
ourselves we can't see who is to de-
eide the point in question"
