NATIONAL BANHs.-The whole number of ua.
tional banks authorized To date is three hundred
and two with all aggregate capital of $40, 093, 200
During the las; week there were fifteen new
banks authorized, with an aggregate capital of
So $4,000. Although, in accordance with the
preferences expressed by the Secretary If the
Treasury the style OF banks authorized by the
National Banking act has thus far been first, Sec
ond, etc. national bank, still, should the State
corporations desiring to organize under that act
wish 10 retain their corporate names. there being
no provision in the law 10 the contrary, they
would probably be permitted 10 DO so. Many Of
the national banks already authorized are trans
ferS from State corporations already existing. In
the Eastern States, where there already exists Il
sufliciency Of banking capital for the require
ments Of business purposes, il is neither desired
nor desirable that the capital employed in the
business should be increased, but in the Western
States, where from the winding up of the State
cy of banking accommodation, the increase OF the
number Of banks under the National Banking
act will be public convenience. Hartford, Con
necticut, has now u greater banking capital than
the great State of Ohio, and the State of Massa-
chusetts more than all the States and Territories
west of the AlleghanieS. There seems to be a
growing disposition among the State corporations
to avail themselves Of the privileges and facilities
afforded by the new law sand, as the tax on the
circulation Of the State Banks will probably be
increased at the present session of Congress- it Is
believed that in q comparatively brief time the
bulk of the capital employed in the business, par.
ticularly of banks of circulation, will be regis
tered and operated under the provisions Of the
National Banking act and they will become ma
tional, instead of State institutions

THE DELEGATES.

The Territorial Union Convention, which

of Ormsby; Theodore Winters, of Washoe,
and J. P. Grecves, OF Lander. We do not
learn that the delegates were instructed as to
the choice Of I Presidential candidate but
as the Caion says that the delegates are Lin
coin men, We presume such Is the case.
John Church ought 10 be able to speak for
himself and his confrereS. There is no
doubt that Mr.. Lincoln is the choice OF the
Territory, and the delegation will not be like
