At length Congress has taken the ina

and although Congress has granted thos.
institutions liberal day Of grace, they
will not long remain to wage . losing

tors, but will commence closing out at
once. and will not stand upon the order
of their going.
The withdrawal Of their paper frem
circulation will have . tendency to re.
duce, in some degree, the volume of our
currency, but the National Banks will
supply the vacuum to ~ great IN extent
as the welfare Of the county demands,
and prevent any sudden crash. This
movement has decided bearing With
Others nov in progress to bring down the
price Of gold, aud to bring about more
healthy financial condition.
The currency provided by the NAtioual
Banks cannot fail to be more generally
satisfactory than the mixed circulation
which has prevailed for years past. It
will be currency of uniform value
throughout the country. and will every

A LAND DEcIsloN.-We publish this
morning a long opinion, rendered by
Judge Field in a land case, in which ro-
nance and law are mixed up. Thos
Hardy, q native Of Canada, who had a
couple Of children, one of them born in
New York, left his family, and in lS43
arrived in California, where he obtained q
grant for six leagues of land in what is
now Yolo County. Four or five years
later he wrote home, and then nothing
more was heard Of him by his relatives.
In l84S he died, and two years later his
ranch was sold for $500 by order of the
Probate Court Of Solano County. The
holders under that sale presented the title
to the Land Commission, and q patent
was issued to them. They sold to indus
trious men who purchased in good faith
and improved the land. For twelve or
thirteen years the title was undisputed,
when suddenly Alexander Hardy and
Ellen Botham, his sister, come into Court.
claim to be the children and heirs Of Thos.
Hardy, and the owners Of this ranch.
They allege that the sale under order Of
the Probate Court was fraudulent, and
that it was made without authority, the
Court having no jurisdiction over the es.
tates Of men who died before the probate
act of the State was passed. They there
fore pray the Court to order the present
possessors to convey the legal title to them.

Judge Field is on demurrer and not final,
but It considers the main points of the
case, and seems to imply that so far the
plaintiffs have q good cause Of action
