The Republicans Of Ohio have achieved
most brilli,nt and substantial victory, in the
election of a Legislature largely Republican in
both branches This makes more ellectual and
valuable their triumph in the election of a
full State ticket, the majority for which will
probably exceed fifteen thousand, and it may
r,ach twenty thou'and
The Legislative retnrns, as far as received,
are as follows;

OF these the Ross and Highland District is
very close having given Democratic majority
of 50 last year. The 7th district is also close.
1t gave lG6 Republican majority last year. The
sth district will undoubtedly elect a Republi
can Senator, having given Republican major
ity of lob last year. The l4th district,
Washington and Morgan, is also largely Re-
publican, the majority last year having been
742. 1t is safe, therefore, 10 calculate upon
carrying at least two, and probably three Of the
districts not yet heard from. This will give
tho Republicans twenty three or twenty-iour
Senators.

The NKw BANK.-Bis of the State Bank of
Michigan, the first Institution under the new law,
are in circulation. Each bill is divided into two
sections, one of which contains the note, and the
other the ornament. The sections vary in size
with each denomination. In the Ones, the note
takes up one-,hird of the paper in the Twos,
one-half; in the Threes two-thirds; il the
Elves, three fourths. IL il impossible to change
One into q Three, Two into II Five, and
keep up the appearance of the bills; every note
defines the space occupied by the notes of each
denomination.
This circulation is sound and safe, and holders
Of notes need have no fears. The present law is
complained of by parties wishing 10 bank, but no
Just complaint can be made by the bill-holders Of
imperfect securities--there can lac no failure of
securities, unless States fail.
Michigan has suffered so much in this part
through fraudulent and insecure banking, that
the last Legislature, when they framed the pres
ent law, were determined that whatever might
be its features in other respects it should ut least
be safe for the bill-holders. The time WAS not
made to extend back to individual cases OF heart
rending affection, and of sudden deprivation,
growing out of banking frauds. In some of
these cases, the change was from comfort and az
Hueuce, in a single day, to utter restitution, and
ultimately to despair, insanity and death OF
course such were extreme cases, but there were
Others, and their name was legion, where the
embarrassment, change and loss of business, and
arrangement of the affairs of life occurred in
minor degree, making up in all, All aggregate of
misfortune, which found its way into every coun-
ty and almost every township in Michigan, rep
resentins itself 10y the dead loss OF hundreds or
thousands of dollars, and in many cases OF the
latter, where the loss of the dollar was felt as
painfully as that Of the hundred. Rest assured,
all who may be called upon to handle the bills of
tho State Bank Of Michigan, that the vaults of
the State Treasury now hold State stocks, equal
to Michigan 6's for every dollar Of the Sa3, 30
now put in circulation, and that every future is
sue will be equally well secured. Whoever
knowns John Mckinney, knows that he will live
up to the letter of the law, banks or no banks
and whoever reads the law, will see that unless
by fraud Of the State Treasurer, no bill-holder
can suffer.
Here, then, laborers, farmers, mechanics and
business men, is the beginning of currency
that every man may sleep in safety upon, for
week, a month, or year-he can lay it away for |
accumulation, or he can use it in daily business,
or to supply the needs of life, with the fullest |
and most perfect assurance that it is money, and
nothing less. lie: US give this new circulation a
welcome reception. Every dollar of il is needed |
