United States Circuit Court by James

Banking Institutions of this State, in which

The Gazette adds, in explanation, thai
the defendants in these suits are endorsers
on paper discounted by them and forwarded
to E. Ludlow, Cashier of the Ohio Trus
Company in New York, and by him passed
to other parties. We understand the de
fendants will resist the suits on the grount
that these notes were sent to Mr.. Ludlow
for collection only, and not for negotiation
and that they are not therefore liable d.
endorsers.

PERsoNAL.-We see by the Washington
(Fayette) Register, whose informant re-
Gently returned from Kansas, that r. Nc
BRArNEY, who. for many years, edited the
Xenia 7orchlight, was publicly kicked out
Of the Office OF Gen. PoMERoY, at Atchison,
with whom Mr.. McB. was in partnership.
The paper did not state the causes. Some
year since Mob went to Kansas Territory,
and, in company with Gen. Pomeroy and
others, purchased the town of Atchison,
and made considerable sp urge generally.
Mr.. McB.'s views on the Slavery question,
we noticed, very suddenly and my sterious-
ly changed, and he was found .laboring
shoulder to shoulder with Atchison and
Stringfellow, although always possessing
strong free soil sentiments. We presume
the difficulty between him and his asso-
ciate had its origin in something of this
sort.

H1rrING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.-The
Ndtiona; Era very opportunely remarks
that "the Buchanan party have possession
of the Federal Administration, will control
the next Congress, and of course will be
responsible for the financial policy of the
country. If they choose to let the present
tariff alone, the Republican party, being
in the minority, will not be called upon to
disturb it. Should they initiate any meas
ures wisely calculated to promote gold and
silver currency, Republican members will
doubtless en- courage them; SO, if they are
not in earnest. but only propose -te win
some credit with the people by empty de-
clamation against paper money, endeavor-
ing to throw upon the Republican party
the onus Of advocating it, it will be just as
well for the Republicans to keep quiet
We do not think they will be caught in
any such trap"

ANOTHER Posi- OFFICE RoBBERY.-JouN
H. BsoUGH. of Hamilton, Ohio, was arres-
ted on Monday last, for forgery and robbing
the mail. 1t seems that some few days
since, Thos. Millikin, an attorney of that
place, had mailed to Acton & Woodruff,
OF Cincinnati, a draft on Groesbeck & Go !,
for $780, The draft was endorsed by
Thomas Millikin. 1t did not come to
Messrs. Acton d Woodruff, and they I'M
mediately ly sought to ferret out the matter
1t was finally traced to Brough, who had
scratched off the name of Thos. Millikin,
as endorsed, and substituted that of y.
W. Carey, wealthy farmer neal that place.
The draft was presented and paid to Mr.. A.
Dyes. a clerk of Mack & Worms, to whom
the draft had been sent for collection. He
supposed it was all right, and remitted the
money 10 Brough, as per order Of Il letter,
purportng to come for Mr.. Carey. -Brough
was committed in default of bail.

The RIVER, WEATHER, BOATS, &C.
The River has been in good boating order
during the Fall and Winter, thus far, and
is now unusually high for the season, with
a prospect for further rise. We expect
to see it at the top of the banks before the
close of the week, We hope it may rise
no higher. a.s
The weather for several days past has
been very cloudy and mild. and great
quantity of rain has faller. At present
{ Monday it is clear and pleasant, but how
long it will continue SO is uncertain, as
the signs indicate more'rain.
Our table of the Markets at this point
has been regularly changed every week,
and our figures, we think may be relied
on as correct. 1t will be seen that sugar
and molasses have declined considerably
Of late, and there is reason to hope for a
still further decline. Flour and wheat are
low--in fact, living is nearly one-half
cheaper than it was last winter Mt this time

A CLERICAL SHYLocK-The Chicago papers
lately unmasked "wolf in sleeps clothing"
named Rev. Enoch F. Burr. of Lyme, Conn,
who, it seems, held deed OF trust upon the
house and let of John Tear, Methodist, and
blacksmith, of that city. The amount due
was 50, 300, principal and interest--the inter-
est being at twenty per cent. per annum. Tear
could not pay, and asked an extension. Burr
expressed willingness to grant it provided
Tear would pay him one hundred per cent.
interest. This menstrous proposition was at
once rejected. After praying over It little
while, the Rev gentemsn's pious gzznrd in
duced him to modify his demand to &C pei ct.
After various efforts of friends to induce the
Reverend hyena 10 modify his demands, the
property was SoId--the Rev, Mr.. Burr bidding
it off at less than half it's value. Friends in
terpGSed once more, and as last effort at com
promise, the Rev. clergyman proposed to take
fifty per cent. interest, provided Tear would
agree to contradict the facts already made
public, and never say anything more about
the amount of interest he was paying. Tear,
however, preferred losing his property to per-
| juring his soul. So the pal rson kept the prop
erty, and ent back to preach to his flock.
| IL We see by the Perry county papers that
another effort will be made this winter, for
the removal of the county seat from Lexing-
ton to Somerset. We believe the only prac-
ticatle mode of settling that vexed question
is to divide the county, and thus make two
county seats; or else, hang every man who
mentions the subject. Unless something OF
the kind is done. nobody need ever expect to
go to heaven from Perry county.
