Indian Contested Election Case.

A custom has grown up in Maine of rec
ognizing Representatives. from the two Indian
Tribes before the Committee Of the Legisla.
ture on Indian Affairs. At the present ses
sion of the Legislature the right Of the Rep.
rcscntativc from the Passamaquoddy Tribe
was contested on the ground Of illegality
and resulted in drawn game, one receiving
thirty and the other fifty dollars for travel
and pay, making up the sum annually al
lowed as the pay Of the Representatives.
The whole question was settled in, committee
without occupying the time Of the Legisla'
turc. 00.
Tho modes OF conducting elections in this
tribe is somewhat peculiar. The voters in
tho tribe on election day assemble outside

Tho National Banking Bill.
We copy the following abstract Of this
bill from New York Tribune:

We copy the following abstract Of 'n''
bill from New York Tribune:
"This highly important bill has now pass
ed both Houses. and only lacks the PRESIDENT
signature TO be law. Ii was introduced IN
the Senate some weeks ago by MIR. Sherman
of Ohio, and provides for Bureau in the
Treasury Department under the title Of the
Controller of the Currency, nominated by the
Secretary of the Treasury and appointed by
the President and Senate, salary, $4,000
bonds, 800. 900; to hold Office Tor five years
to have deputy clerks, &C., none of whom
shall be interested in any banking under the
act. The Controller is to provide seals,
forms, &c. Associations for banking may be
formed by any number of persons, not less
than FIVE, who shall make certificates specify
ing the name Of their association, its location
amount Of capital. which shall not be less
than $50, 900 (and in cities Of over 10000
population, not less than 500 ,00O); names,
residence aud number Of shares Of stockhold-
ers, and time of beginning business this GER
tifcate to be legally acknowledged. Thirty
per cent. Of capital stock to be paid in at
commencing, and the remaining capital at
10 per cent. every two months until paid up.
IL any one fails to pay, his stock to be sold
ut auction, after three weeks advertising. II
not bid in so as to cover assessments and
costs, il is forfeited to the association.
When the Controller is satisfied that these
conditions are complied with, he shall give
the association a certificate authorizing them
to commence business, which fact shall be
advertised for GO days. All these associa-
tions are authorized to do business in the
usual form, sue and be sued, and to perform
all the ordinary functions Of banking. Their
shares are transferable, personal property
carving their liabilities with them. Capital
may be increased from time to time as may
be deemed expedient. They may hold real
estate necessary for their business, such as
may be mortgaged as security for loans, such
as may be conveyed for debts and such as
they may purchase under their mortgages,
but no other. Preliminary to commencing
they deliver to the United States Treasurer in
terest-bearing bonds of tho Government to the
Spelled amount, and receive currency-circula-
ting notes in blank, registered and counter
signed. equal to 90 per cent OF the current
value OF the bonds deposited, but not exceed.
ing the par value, and ut no time shall such
notes exceed the capital stock paid in. The
entire amount shall not exceed $500, 900 900
to associations in States and Territories, ac-
cording to representative population the
other $50, 900 900 to be distributed with re-
gard to existing bank capital and business.

Tho American War in the British
Parliament.

The last arrivals from England bring vi
intelligence Of the first meeting Of the Eng
lish Parliament, since the President issued
the Proclamation OF Freedom.
The debate which followed the reading o.
the Queens speech goes to show that recog
milton Of the Southern Confederacy by Eng
land, is an event not likely to take place
The Earl Of Derby said. al can't bring my
mind to the conclusion that il was wise oil
polite to recognize the South" In speak
ing Of this debate the New York Tribune
remarks there was no violent denunciation oil
the Emancipation Proclamation and Of the
apprehended civil instruction, which SC
many journals in this country and few in
England have painted in the blacklist colors.
We have. on the contrary, the important
admission by the member Of the House who
moved the address in reply to the Queens
Speech, that last year thoughts Of media
ton might have been entertained, but that
after the Emancipation Proclamation Of Jan
uary LIST. no European Government would
venture to interfere in the war. This speak
or showed himself, in every other respect,
the most ardent admirer Of the South. He
expressed his utmost contempt for the Fede-
raj government, utadmitted, amid the cheers
of Parliament, that the AntiSlavery char
actcr Of the war ought to, and would prevent
foreign interference in behalf of the South.
The same speaker pointed to the important
fact that, il slavery should now go down in
the United States, the whole world would
soon be FREQ from it; for the only two other
States in which Slavery is still living pow
er-Brazil and Spain-would ere long be
compelled to follow the example Of the Uni.
ted States. Such testimony may surely be
regarded as conclusive, rs to the effect Of
the Emancipation Proclamation abroad.
1t is also significant, that the statesmen Of
England never pronounced more decidedly
and more unanimously in favor Of non.inter-
ference. Even the leaders Of the Tories,
Earl Derby and Mr.. Disraeli, fully Endorsed
the determination Of the Government not to
interfere. and even approved the non'rccog-
milton of the Southern States. Lord Rus
sell stated that no one in England thought Of
an armed interference. Both the Ministers
and Tories still express their firm belief in
the permanent separation of the Union. but
they also clearly show that the South has
much less reason now to expect aid FROM
England than before the LIST Of January.

~ General Hovey of Indiana and four In.

81 General Hovey ofIndiana and four In.
diana colonies, now at Helena, Arkansas,
have published an appeal "to the Democracy
of Indiana" in which they come to the point
as follows:-"Wesee with deep solicitude and
regret, that there is an undercurrent in In
diana, tending toward coalition Of the
Northwest with the South, against the
Eastern States. BE not deceived. Pause.
for the love you bear to your country, and
reflect. This movement is only rebel
scheme in disguise, that would involve you,
alike with themselves, in the crime Of rebell-
ion, and bring to your own hearthstones the
desolation of French revolution. Separa-
ton on either side, with peace in the future,
is impossible, and we arc compelled by sell.
interest, by every principle of honor. and
every impulse Of manhood, to bring this I'M
holy contest to successful termination.
Indianas proud and loyal legions number at
least seventy thousand effective men in the
field, and as with one great heart, we know
they would repudiatc oil unholy combina-
tions, tending to the dismembermcnt of our
Government. "ln this dark hour of our
country's trial-therc is but one road to sue.
cess and peace, and that is, to be as firmly
united for our Government, rs the rebels arc
against it. Small differences Of opinion
amount to nothing in this grand struggle for
a nations existence. Do not place even one
straw in tho way, and remember that every
word you speak to encourage the South
nerves the arm and strikes the blow, which
is aimed at the hearts blood Of our brothers
and kindred"

The same paper says: ave have serious

eager to meet their expected assailants, and
test the value of the defenses which have

"Copperhead."

This, according to that treasonous pro-
slavery sheet, the New Hampshire Patriot,
is "the new-hnglcd slang name which the
abolition press are applying TO the Democ-
racy."
The Tribune thus describes the aptuess Of
the name to designate the entire Democratic
pro-slavcry party. 1t says:-"Tho copper

true, in letter and in spirit; the nttlesnake

The PRICE PRINCES RoYAL.-The cargo Of
the prize steamer Princes Royal, now at
Philadelphia, has been all taken out except
some machinery. As the cases have not yet
been opened, it is not known what number
of small arms she had on board. But two
heavy pices Of ordnance were found, said to
be 70 Founders. A large quantity of steal
pointed conical shot, such as Beaurcgard used
upon our iron. clads from Charleston harbor,
has also been found. There were some hun
dreds Of cylindrical bars of the same kind Of
metal, ready for casting into shot. The
machinery and everything is of the best de-
scription. The drugs include large lots Of
quinino, and expensive articles, whose price
in the market has now nearly or more than
doubled, in some cases qundruplcd. The
estimated value Of the cargo isl million Of
dollars. The early discharge of the cargo is
to facilitate the delivery of the vessel to the
Navy Department at her appraised value
As she is represented to be very fast, it is
believed that she can be at once made available
as one of the blockading fleet.
