Il viii be recollected, that two OF three
weeks since, We made mention Of . rumor
to the effect, that B. R. PEoaAx, Of this
city, had purchased the right Of B. T. Al
LEN, in and to tho above Bank. This rumor
was afterwards pronounced incorrect, al
though it was admitted that negotiations
were pending, having in view that object.
We now understand from parties whom We
consider good authority, that these negotia-
tions have been concluded, and that B. T.,
ALLEN has transferred his interest in the
above bank, to B. r. PEoRAx. From the
well-kno responsibility and business
standing of Mr.. PEoRAx, We have reason to
believe this arrangement will prove accspta-
BILE to the great mass Of thepeople inhabit-
ing the Missouri Valley. We have not =
word to say in extenuation Of the loose sys-
tenn Of Banking practiccd in Nebraska-ws
wish it were all done away Without, as
Banks exist, and are likely to exist there,
We are glad to see responsible men become
connected with them. The Bank of Nebras-
ka has heretofore stood the highest in the
estimation Of the people, Of all the banks in
the Territory, and We hope Mr.. PEeRAs will
preserve its former reputation, and if possi-
bic, add something to its reliability.
The License Question.
1--WE know not the result Of the license question.-
n our neghbor will turn to the Clarion Of October
2st he will there md the Official result Of the Election
in Pottawattamie County, including the vote for and
against icense published taken from the record In
the County Judges ONCE Our friend the way has
long been exercised about this vote which he has been
unable learn and has been obliged TO presume the
him and its correspondent the only perhaps the
County who are ignorant this subject, append
the vote the License Question published in the
Clarion, Oct 18th. &#
"For License. ....................... ....l29

ss (Clarion, Dec. slH.
Our neighbor of the Clarion, jumps at
conclusions in regular Kangaroo fashion
He is not ignorant Of the result of the cleo
ton in this county on the sslicense" ques-
ton! O, no, not he. lie sets out to en-
tighten us and our correspondent, ''thc only
two perhaps in the county, who are SO ig-
uorant on this subject" but fails to do so,
to our satisfaction. He cites US to the "6g-
ures" as published some time since, but
fails to tell US the result! We were well
aware Of the vote polied-knew that there
was large majority in favor of 'sliccuse''-
but did not, and do not no,c know whether
or not the license law is in force in this
County. We presumed it was, in conse-
quence of the action of the Council. Per-
haps the Clarion, in its exceeding great
wisdom, can remove our doubts on this
subject. And for the purpose of affording
it an opportunity to do 50, we ask solution
Of the following clause of the License Law
aforesaid: -.5sa

Anne Ration Of South Nebraska to Kansas.
A correspondent of the Nebraska City
Ne,rs, favors the annexation to Kansas Of
that portion of Nebraska Territory, lying
South of the Platte River, for various rea-
sons, among which, the following strikes
US MS pertinent and lucid:
s.Kansas is much better known than Nebraska; and
great many emigrants coming from the East start for
If part Of Kansas will get our portion Of
the Kansas emigration. Kansas 10 Hiso mscA cdrm.

son why sOe shosid be dsRered."
This reminds US Of the reputed saying Of
an old lady, who, in days "lang syne," lived
near the line separating Virginia from North
Carolina. For many years, it was uncer-
tain in which State she resided. At length.
the boundary line was ssrun out,' and the
old lady was found to be an inhabitant of
the "Old Dominion" Upon being inform
cd Of this fact, she expressed great sstisfac-
ton, declaring that she was glad she didn't
live in North Carolina, 40 it always was
siekly State! =.
