THE EXCHANGE BANK OF DAM
TEL BALL & co.

Our readers are generally aware, that
trial has just been concluded in the Cir
cult Court-of this County, in which the
/" People were the complainapts, and
Daniel Ball defendant. The ostensble OBJ
ject of the suit was TO test the legality
and soundness Of the bills of an Institu-
ton known as the michigan City and
South Bend Plank Road Company" said
bills being redeemable at the counter Of
the Exchange Bank of Daniel Ball g. Co.,
of this city-and we believe they have
never yet been dishonered by their ere
deeners." AS heretofore stated, when
the case had been argued and given to
the-Jury,, a NdHe Pros. was entered by
the Prosecuting Attorney, and the whole
matter dismissed.
1t appears that Mr.. Ball rested bis de-
fence chiefly on tho ground, that the
Michigan City and South Bend Plank
Road Company" is corporation having
special Charter from the Legislature of
Indiana, with ample and unquestioned
powers for issuing notes and bills for cir
culation--each Stakeholder being indi-
yidually liable for all bills and notes
which may be issued by The corporation.
This question of liability was ono in
which our business community have all
felt deep interest. 1t has been hereto
fore alleged, by some, that the issues Of
the Company in question were wholly ir-
responsible, and that neither Mr.. Ball,
nor any one else, was liable for their re-
dcmption. But Il 10 fact was disclosed,
on this trial, Of the existence of such n
corporation, and of the absolute Liability
Of each Stockholder-of whom Mr.. Dan
iel Ball was the largest--for the redemp-
ton of the bills. As the only question in
the minds Of the vast majority of our cit
liens was the solvency of this currency,
in this view of the subject the late trial
has not been without its fruits.
The public prosecutor, for his persever-
ance in bringing the validity of this cur
rency 10 a judicial test, is entitled TO the
thanks Of the public and that portion of
the community which had misgivings on
the subject, can now have the satisfaction
of knowing that the matter has been fair
", patiently and thoroughly sifted and
disposed of. y - = i

RETURN OF THE wANDERER.

The yacht Waaderer, which has ae-
quired so much notoriety on account Of
her connection with the slage-tfade, has
again been brought before the public no
tice, but this time in n mere favorable
way than heretofore Last Saturday she
returned 10 Boston, having been run oil
from Savannah on the 10Th day of Octo-
Der. IL seems that most Of the crew
werc impressed iuto the service, aud were
wholly ignorant OF her destination until.
after she was web out at sea- when they
wegc forced 10 Join in under penalty of
immediate death. The whole was cons
cocted and executed by viliainous per-
son, who, according TO his own statemeut,,
has been engaged in the trade for long
time, and has any number Of olidSes.--
His real name is said 10 be Patton. hail
ing from the State of Maine, and his i'm.
pudepce is only eqnaled by his vilainy.
10 the first place he stole the vessel out
night from herowner, Mr.. Lamar. After
impressing his crew into the SERVICE he
stopped at the port of Curaeoa in the
island of Flores, where he obtained large
quantity of provisions and then ran away
without paying for them. AT another
point he obtained quantity of water,
but, not having the quantity OF provisions
he desired for his cargo of seven hundred
negroes that he expected to bring back,
he chased every vessel up and down the
ocean that he fell in with, and forced them
TO contributions of whatever they had on
board that was eatable. Near the Ma
deiras he fell in with French bark bound
from Marseilles for South America, and
with four men boarded her to obtain pro-
visions. The mate and the rest of the
crew seized this opportunity to escape,
and set all sail for the United States, and
arrived at Boston as before stated. Pat
ten not only intended TO engage in the ne
farious traffic in negroes, but added real
piracy to bis crime by attacking vessels
upon The high seas. Heis a precious vii
lain, and will be eninenty worthy of the
halter should he ever be caught.
This escape of the Waaderer and her
Subsequent.retu together with the rev.
Citations made by her crew, will tend still
further to place the slayc-trade in the right
light before the public mind. None but
the most nefarous and vilainous in any
part Of the country uphold it or are will
ing to engage in il, and no party or even
faction ask for lis renewal

The Hera7ds Washington cortcspon-
dent SAYS: ans. Branch RETAINED from
sending message 10 Mr.. Grow until az
ter the Globe was issued, about o'clock,
evidently supposiug that Mr.. Grow might
suppress his language, The report was
truthful. There is a current story that,
shortly after the GioJe was distributed in
the House to-day, Mr.. Grow received a
challenge, and accepted it promptly
The parties were noticed during the after
noon to be Indifferent TO the proceedings
Of the House, and engaged in private
conversation with friends and in writing
letters. This strengthened the fumor--~
The police are on the alert tonight, and
efforts are being made to arrest The prin-
cipals. They have not been found at
their rooms. There is reason to believe
that there Is some truth in the reporrt.--
1t is further stated that Messrs. Keitt
and Pryor are the friends of Mr.. Branch,
and Mr." Giddings, Of Texas, and Mr..
Tenton, of N. Y, the friends of Mr.,
Grow" ~
The Times correspondent says: "There
was a challenge passed to-day from Mr..
Branch to Mr.. Grow, but the result is not
yet known. Mutual friends think the
case one of easy adjustment. Mr.. Branch
has but to say that he did not design, to
impugn Mr.. Grows conduct as a gentle
man, but politically as the leader of a
great party. This done, Mr.. Grow would
be compelled to retract bis offensive Ian
guage, and the matter would be adjust
ed. This will probably be the turn which
things will take; but up to q late hour
tonight the difficulty remains unsettled.
"There are rlmors of an intention on
the part of large number of contractors
to stop mail service after the first of Jan
nary, but they arc only designed to hast
en- the organization No such purpose is
entertained. Contracts are made for q
period of four years, at the discretion of
the government to terminate them, which
