A national bank In 81. CInirsvIlI,,

- nAHA IN 81. ClnlEHVAlIes
We are glad to learn that the project for
starting National Bank at St Clairsyille
Is again agitated, and that the subsctiu-
ton paper is in the hands of one who is
likely to put it through. About $40 600
capital has been already subscribed-one
man tnkes $4,000. s.sas ir ~ -
There is no earthly doubt that Bank
OF this kind here will pay we'll. The
country surrounding ST. Clalrsville is i'm
mensely rich. Thousands of dollars are
seut oil to deposit with foreign banks
every year. II We have q Bank here of
course our people will deposit at home
Stockhol ers are sure of six per cent. from
the Government, Banking in a town like
ST. Clairsville, too, is attended with less
danger than in larger places, because the
Banks are not called on SO frequently to
loan to spectators.
1t is proposed to start on Il capital OF
$4,000. The subscription paper is in tue
hands OF Mr.. John Darrah, who is using
every effort to have it speedily filed up
We learn that the stock is being RAPIDLY
taken, and would advise any of our friends
who think of investing in II, toact at once.
One or Two days more ought TO bring the

YEETERDAY's dispatches ANNOUNCED that
less than eight millions of the great Five.
Twenty loan remained untaksn by the
people. We presume that not a dollar of
it will be left after to day, if it was not
all absorbed yesterday. The principal and
interest of this famous loan, which has had
such an unparalleled run, are payable in
gold, aud those who have secured an in
yestmeut in it will never have cause TO
regret it in our opinion. Despite all the
calamities of the times and the mysteries
of the unseen future-the people mot the
spscuIators) have each day consumed a
certain portion Of the loan. Its daily d.
minishing proportions, as noted each
morning in the dispatches. was a sublime
comment upon the iuaexibility of the pop
ular faith in the government, and an ear.
nest that all men might have read, that
no such thing as the destruction of the
American nationality was tolerated for a
moment in the intentions Of the masses.
The FiVe-Twenty loan is a strong chain
between the people aud the government.

does) the tens of thousands WIT are held by
it, saying nothing at all of patriotism. By
so much as man has thus been made a

such. The effect Of their issue is 90. to
increase, but to still further contract, the
volume of currency. They have been paid
out as loan, and not AS current fluids.
II ia to be hoped that Mr.. Chase will
still further pursue the loan policy, and
ignore all the pressure now brought to
bear upon him for further issue of green.
backs Nothing but such policy can
keep down further great mutations. The
Southern Contederacy has fully experience
ed the results of an indefinite issue Of
paper money, and although our condition
aud.credit are not to be compared to theirs,
even were we to resort to further heavy
issues, still the effect would be to stim
ulate speculation and run up prices on
these who do not make their living by
gambling 10 stocks and gold or even the
commodities of regular trade.

The VERY LATEST

/ WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-The Commit
! tee of Conference On the Whisky Bill haf
a meeting to day. 1t consisted of Sena
tors Fessenden, johnson and Howe, snl
Representatives Washburn of Illinois
Stevens and Fernando Wood As boil
Houses had agreed to strike out the pro
posed tax of spirits on hand, it was
deemed by the majorityof the commit.
tee not to be in contro ersy, and hence
it remains as it We
1t is understood that the sliding scale
has been ADOPTED, with notifications.
Navy spirits, distilled and sold for con-
sumption, or sold previous to the first OF
July next, of nrst proof, in addition to
the duties or licenses, duty of 90 cents
for Government, and upon all liquors
which may be distilled after the passage
OF that act, or sold, or removed for sale
or consumption, on or after the first day
of July next, or previous to the first of
January next, 65 cents per gallon; and
on all liquors which may be distilled af-
ter the passage of this act, and sold or
removed for consumption or sale, on or
after the first day of January next, 20
cents per gallon The notifications are
from 80 to s. cents and from 50 to 10
cents.
Another matter in controversy has
been settled, namely: on all distilled
spirits imported from foreign countries
previous to the first of July next, of irst
proof, 40 cents per gallon; and all such
spirits imported previous to the first day
of January next, so, instead of 60, cents
per gallon.
The report of the Committee of Con-
ference will probably be acted upon by
both Houses tomorrow.
