No more of the issues of this bank will be
paid out by any Of the branches; but every
dollar Of the circulation will be retired as soon
as possible. The winding up Of the branch
es will not interfere in any degree with their
going into the National system whenever
they choose.
The people of Iowa have good reason to
be proud Of the State Bank. AS a state af-
fair it was equal to the best. The principal
mistake that has been made by its mana
gers consists in its not adopting two years
ago the very course it has now been forced
to adopt by pressure Of circumstances Of a
National character. Neglecting to DO that
much wind has been taken from its sails
that it might otherwise have carried.

made in the Gas case, and herewith we pub.
lish it:

Dated at Davenport the Goth day Of Feb
ruary, 1865.
Though the city has to pay as usual, it
gets off very well indeed. The original claim
of the Gas Company on this breach of con-
tract was about $4,000 if we remember
aught; but finally it was narrowed down to
$50. 900, and on this the Arbitrators allow
trihe over five thousand dollars as the
measure of damages. The award gives gen
eral satisfaction We believe.
p. S. What the peop'c want to know is,
where that 81 cents came from. That salts
factorily explained the public pulse will
beat quietly.
PUBLIC MEErING.-The citizens Of Daven
port held public meeting at Metropolitan
