the New York inward express train was passing
through Newton Corner near the depot n horse
aud chaise driven by lady approached at N rapid
rate, and notwithstanding the whistle of the loco

Great Excitement at Peoria, Illinois
Threats of M obbing Bank.

There was great excitement ut Peoria, Illinois.
on " Wednesday,, on account of the failure of the
banking house, and the private residences Of the
firm were threatened to be torn down by the mob,
and the military were notified to hold themselves
in readiness to check any such demonstrations
HE senior partner seems to be more blamed than
his nssaeintes and there was talk ofburning him
in c'hgy, The following is u statement from the
transcripts.
The failure of the Lanking house of n. Il. Cur
It's ~ Co, was announced yesterday (Monday)
morning, and created great excitement throughout
the city The same house failed about year
ago, and had succeeded in establishing itself in
business again, principally through the lenicncy
OF its creditors; who had confidence in the integi
ty of its managers. The present failure was Who'll
" unexpected, aud was brought about under cir
cumstanccs which led to the suspicion that it
was prcmelitatcd, and that the design is to de-
fraud the public. How much ground there is for
susp icion Of this character, we have no means of
knowing.
n. Is. Curtis & Co., are the owners of n wildcat
bank in Atlantis, Ga, called the "Chcrokee Insu-
rance and Banking Company At the time of
their first failure, large amount of this trash
was in the hands of the people of this section,
ny of whom submitted to heavy shavcs upon it,
while II few held on to what they had and what
they could buy Of il until Messrs Curtis q Co.,
had reesablishei themselves, when it was
deemed. During the six months in which they

r,l"c they could manage to- and redceming every
dollar oi it presented ut their counter, have sue
cccdcl in maintaining its credit.
The consequence is that n large amount of this
description of shinraser currency is in the hands
Of our farmers, mechanics, merchants and others,

loss upon tall hope Of rc-establishment of the

which we do not fully comprehend it is announc-
cd that it will be taken in payment fthe ou,stan-
ding debt Of Moss Harding { Co.
The precise amount Of Cherokee money now in
circulation are unable to ascertain, and it is
of course impossible to tell The prevalent opiu-
ion is that there is Sl50oO0 of it in tina hands of
the people Of this section. There may BE- dis

is confidence in the promise in some quarters but
it is not general.
We advise holders of Cherokee not to part with
it Immediately. Wait until the excitement sub

can be had.

Important Decision.

The Attorney General has, at Tie request of tho
Secretary of the Interior, given an opinion in ref.
G enec to tho proper construction Of the act of
June 3D.. 1858, which provides that the title to
land warrant issued after the death OLA person
who applied for il according to the prescribed
forms. 'shall rest in the widow, then in the heirs
and legatees of the claimants
Ii ia held by the Attorney General that the heirs

the Ter rel sus to take his Unbeatable real estate
at the time of his death. His legatees are these
to whom he has bequeathcd his personal property
by will Heirs sometimes means children. in
common parlance, and the word is to be so under.
stood in statute when the contest shows that in
tenton to have been in the mind of the Legisla-
ture. But am not aware that any reason exists
here for taking it in sense different from that in
which it is usually and properly accepted. This
act Of Congress, then, vests the land in the per-
sons to whom the claimant may have left it by
will; and il he died intestate, then it goes to his
heirs-that is to the persons who are entitled to
claim his real estate by the intestate laws.
Il do not see anything in the general policy of
the previous laws which would Justify us in giving
the act Of lS5Sa construction not warranted by
its plain words 1t is true that all the acts on the
same subject are to be construed together as in
pari mdtertd, bat where the words of later act
differ from those Of IN older one, the later act
must prevail. and give the rule in all cases to
which it applies"
The Attorney General, accordingly. draws the
following conclusions: LIST, that q warrant issued
after the death Of q claimant who left widow
and children, enures to the widows benefit alone.
ID; when the deceased claimant has widow. with
two sets of children, the warrant enures to the
benefit Of her heirs or egatees. 3d. heirs are those
who are SO declared by the law of the claimants

that city, who had entirely lost her mind some six
months ago. from severe and protracted spell Of
