The State Bank.

About week since, a communication was
handed into this office, purporting to give an
exposure of recent transactions connected
with the Branch of the State Bank at this
place, but we declined publishing it for reasons
which we then gave to the author. We find
the same communication in the Davenport
Democrat of Tuesday, with some structures
by the writer on our course for neglecting
to publish all the rumors aAoat concern
ing this matter. Although the writer signs
himself "A friend to the true interests of
Muscatine," we must be permitted to express
our opinion that he is sailing under false
colors. While his article is calculated to do
but little harm, especially when published in
newspaper of a rival city, it can accomplish
no possible good. This was our objection to
tit could do no good. The public has
already been furnished, through our paper,
with all necessary information concerning the
trouble with our Bank The fact that a
defalcation has been discovered, and that the
late Cashier, charged with the crime, is now
under bonds for trial, has been already stated,
together with the more important fact to the
public, that all loss resulting from such defal-
cation or misapplication Of the funds will be
Inade good to the Bank by the bondsmen Of
the late Cashier of the Branch. To compare
the present condition Of the Bank with that
Of Cook & Sargent, two years ago, is an
absurdity. The Muscatine Branch has never
failed to redeem all its circulation, nor to pay
any and all liabilities, on demand; and its
present management, We can assure the pub
lie, will continue to do so. We cannot see
how any one is to be loser by the Bank con-
tinung in operation, while it is quite evident
that, if it is wound up and its accounts placed
in immediate liquidation, serious inconveni-
ence will result to many of our business men,
though certain disinterested friends Of the
city may reap benefits therefrom.
We can assure the public abroad that our
citizens have the fullest confidence in the
Auscatine Branch Bank, and in the ability Of
IS present managers to keep it clear of the
breakers in future.

The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORTHERN AND
SOUTHERN INvADERs.-Whenf fifteen hundred
Missourians crossed over into Kansas, and,
taking possession Of the polls, drove away the
settlers and legal voters from every precinct
in the Territory save one, and carried the
elections, electing Missouri Legislature for
Kansas, the President and the Democratic
party were appealed to in vain. The President
claimed he had no power, and he certainly
had no disposition to right the wrongs Of the
people PIE Of Kansas But old John Brown, with
twenty-five men, invades the State of Virginia.
This isa very different matter. The President
hears of it at once, and dispatches United
States Marines instanter. He had no trouble
in determining, between Wise and Brown,
who was the Governor of Virginia.

Gov. CHASE ON THE TARIFF. A letter
written by Gov. Chase, Of Ohio, last October,
has been published, in which he expresses his
views on the tariff. He says there should be
no disagreement on this question among Re-
publicans. He takes practical view of the
matter. We have always had a tariff, and
probably shall have for long time, if not as
long as the Union endures. This being so,
tariff laws should be made as good as possible,
and be in favor of ''such discrimination as will
best secure and promote the interests of labor
of our own labor--and the general we'll
being of our own people" mo man." he
adds, sin my Judgment deserves the name Of
an American statesman, who would not so
shape American legislation and administration
as to protect American industry, and guard
impartially all American rights and interests
