Clearing Hopse b cInclrnnrI.

The Cincinnati Gazette of Monday says:
The branches of the State Bank of Ohio have
made decided progress toward the establish
ment of Clearing House in this city, upon the
plan recently proposed BY the convention Of the
Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio bankers, held in
this city, the movements Of which were sud-
denly terminated by the discovery Of legal
difficulty in the way Of locating an agency Of a
foreign bank in this State The Indiana banks,
and portion of the Kentucky banks, will
doubtless cooperate with the Ohio banks in
this undertaking, so as to make it IN fact a
clearing house, for the leading institutions
whose circulation centres at this place. The
capital has been fixed at half million, portion
Of which Is left to be subscribed In this city
So much of it as has been apportioned to
the country banks, being much tho largest
Of the whole, has been subscribed, and on Fri-
day last, the following gentlemen were chosen
TO represent this interest directors, viz: Noah
L. Wilson, v Winters Of Dayton, and A. Stone,
jr., of Cleveland Two Directors are to be
elected from this city. One Of these, we are
pleased to learn, is to be W. W. Scarborough,
who is also to be President Of the institution,
provided he can be prevailed upon TO accept the
position. 1t is 10 be hoped he viii consent to
serve. There are few men more competent to
hll the place.
The business men of Cincinnati will receive
with pleasure this information, with reference
to the establishment of an institution the effect
Of which, must Re, if successful, TO reduce the

that merchants have been compelled to sustain
in the shape of excessive rates Of premium on

Printing Jobs--Lobbying-

The Legislative juggiery Praot;ced upon the
Post Office Appropriation bill by the third Com

merely of the amendments made by the Senate,
to which the House objected, but Of the amend
ments to which the House had agreed. Among
the amendments thus slaughtered was one
which passed the Senate and House by large
msjorities, requiring the Post Office Depart
ment to give the printing of blanks, &c, to the
lowest bidder. This of course was obnoxious to
the party Administration managers, as it re-
stricted patronage. Thoy got it out BY the jug

about letters addressed to fictitious persons or
firms, the Postmaster General did not mean 10

every letter to a person under an assumed
name The instructions, be says, were special,

Great FiOod on the Lever mississippi

The accounts from the river below Memphis
are sad indeed. The damage is immense. A
river correspondent of the ST. Louis Republican
gives an account of the last rise, from which
we quote few paragraphs:
The town of Grand Gulf is covered, and the
occupants busily engaged in moving to the sec
Ond floor The plantations of Colonel Galley,
Hamilton and PlersOn were being oveThOwed
by the breaks IN the levee on Saturday
At New Carthage and Warrenton, there is no
dry land visible. Fruit trees all dying from the
effects of the water. The great erevasse, six
miles below Yicksbursh, is pouring out a river
Of water $4,000 gunnies filled with dirt have
been used with little or no effect New recruits
were continually arriving by the boats from be-
low, whilst many have abandoned the work and
teTs, which IN ITS Wild course carries away trees
and every thing before it.
The streets in ia Poleon are navigable for the
great Eclipse. ATEa..- rising slowly, but had
been falling for some days On the 9Th inst, at
Prentice Landing, just above Napoleon. the
levee yielded to the pressure of the great Father
Of Waters, and was carried, together with trees,
fences, houses, and in fact every thing in its
way, of towards Silver Lake, in BOlivay coun-
ty. This is one of the most destructive breaks
in the Mississippi river. Some Of the finest and
largest plantations in the whole State are com
pletely overdOwed, and made useless for the
present Above and below Napoleon, for many
miles, the entire country is flooded ON both sides
Of the river. SeaffOlds have been built, on which
stock Of every kind is her1ed in a perishable
condition. Hundreds Of cattle, horses, &c, can
be seen punched on some spot under water, but
little more elevated than the surrounding land, in
the me ST pitiable condition, the stronger ones
forcing the weaker into the wide waste Of wa
ters Which is fast gathering about them, and
which will ere the mighty food subides give them
as food for the fishes Houses are ready to float
from their moorings, while their occupants are
preparing with floats and wood boats, TO COM
menee journey. God only knows WHERE
COncordia and Laconia are sharing the fate of
Napoleon. Helena is one-fOurih of an inch
above the water. Gen. Pillows plantation Is
watered all over from break in the lcyee in
front of him. From Memphis to Cairo the nv
er is arched in the center, and pouring out on
both sides several feet water. Madrid Bend,
Tennessee. and small portion of Cairo, and
around Madrid, No. the only visible spot worth
mentioning from Memphis up. Water higher
at Memphis than ever known before, and rising
two inches in tweuty-four hours. Most Of the
dwellings along the river are from two to six

c.nnrr Sui rrrensuris..

The time for the rel noval of the deposits is
near at hand-the first proNimo being the day
6xed by the enactment Of last winter for the re-
moval Of the public funds from the various (pre-
seutl repositories throughout the State, to the
vaults Of the State and county treasures. The
amount that viii be subj ject to that legal and
entirely unnecessary disturbances and transport
alton at the time appointed, will, we apprehend,
proye the reverse Of troublesome; and It's safe
~ during the exposure will depend In very
siiuht degree upon the efficiency Of the army
and nayv of the State. Fortunately for the
character and success Of the enterprise, at least
so far as the State treasury is concernedi there
is the same high authority for borrowing the
money that there is for its removal. for without
a loan there would be no money for removal
and to disappoint the benevolent gentleman the
author of the bill, in view OF the consequences,
would be considered a calamity, and perhaps an
ofFense, we would avoid fPOssible. With many
of The county treasurers, however, the case IS
different, but none the less difficult many of
them have funds, and for their security are
riously exercised. The demand for safes both
fire and burglar proof is active aud it Is fOuld
that, not only is there new responsibility rest
ing upon the tTeasurers but the character Of the
board of commissioners 10 involved in the Gus
tOdy Of the cOunty's fund.
1t has been suggested that the cost of Prcpar-
ing vaults for the safe keeping Of the moneys,
will in some instances exhaust the capital on
hand and in that way the officers will have So
cured the vault, and be eptirely relieved Of all
apprehension Of robbery,
The law not only declares that the money
shall be kept in the county treasurers' Offices
but it also requires that by proclamation the
amount subject to draft at stated times shall be
made known; a general notice, in which many
are presumed to have a personal interest and
by which information, the present robust incli-
nation to rishes is frequently strengthened to a
degree dangerous to private character and to
public morals. Gentlemen, look to your safes.

Chenp KniIroad Fares.

The spirited competition between the New
York Central and the New York and Enc Rail
roads, has put down prices TO comfortable trav-
cling rates. The n. Y Times of the 18th states
that the N Y Central has now reduced fare, on
through passengers, to s2,4O from Buffalo 10
New York, which is considerably less than one
cent per mile The regular fare by the BufiAlo,
New YORK and Erie Railroad from Buffalo to
New York is $500; but the advertisement If
the Road in the Buffalo papers Of the 10th says
Pare as low as by any other Route"
So far all attempts to arrange the matters OF
difference between the two competing Com
panies in reference to the passenger traffic, have
failed The sharp competition has already pro-
dueed an injurious cfieeti on the stock OF the
Central Road-the n Y. and Erie was long ago
mast much injury. 1t had dropped too low in
the Wall street quotations, and the n 7. Times
saws las things are now going on, the Road will
be in the hands of its bond-holders within
year"
On the other hand the Buffalo Express states
that the n Y. & Erie has no intention of alter
inc the present arrangement; that the road Is
carrying seven 20 one through passengers as
comnared with its former business, and that so
far the Company are perfectly satisfied with the
way it works
With line of two good opposition to Rail
road monopoly Steamers between Cleveland
and Buffalo, the Lake route would be ineom'
parably the pleasantest and cheapest for the
Summer months between the South, the South

fashionable resorts of Niagara, Saratoga, Whit
Mountains, etc. The Detroit steamer line pay

We learn by the Richmond Enquirer that there
is settlement Of between two and three hun
dred free negroes on the old Cumberland estate
of Richard Randolph, which was, until 1910,
the residence of John Randolph of Roanoke.
On the death Of Richard, who mauumitted bis

transferable from their respective families The
Enquirer represents the negroes as a miserable

Proqre.. Of Emancipation in Russia

ter from st Peters5urgh, May 55rd, states IIai
the mobiles are every day learning the advanta-
ges of setting the peasants free upon the land,
and six more Governments have obtained per-
mission to form Committees for this purpose
The peasants rely implicitly upon the word of
the Gar, and calmly await the accomplishment
Of his promise to break the chains Of seridom
in the Empire.
The condition of the jews in Russia, hitherto
very painful and humiliating, is also being
ameliorated by Alexander They had not for
merly any civil rights whatever, not heing
permitted to even choose their places of abode
They could only reside in certain districts, and
there only in certain towns. Their labor was
subjected to many restrictions, and they were
burdened with taxes. The Emperor has ap-
pointed a special COMMITTEES to revise all the
laws respecting Jews; and during the present
reign they have been freed from exceptional
taxation, their Schools has been increased, and
the list Of their studies enlarged.
Formerly Jews were forbidden to reside in
Russia, except within 100 leagues of the eastern
frontier. They could not abide nor leave
places of business in any city of the Empire
proper If business called them there, they
could not remain longer than six weeks A re-
cent ukase gives them permission to erect
houses in KomD and JiltOmar without distine-
ton of locality, and 20 inhabit them in the en-
joyment Of all rights common to other prOPrie-
tors
The Gar is an indefatigabIe worker, and
happily his labOrs are in part directed 10 the
elevation and improvement Of the condition Of
the long oppressed among his subjects. His
reforms are practical and are wisely planned
and surely brought about.
