There is some apprehension that
trouble is brewing in the National Bank
Note circulation. The New York city
banks heldssa meeting on Tuesday to
perfect plan to restrict the use of Ma
tional Bank currency, by sorting coun-
try notes and running the issuing banks
for greenbacls. 1t is stated that one of
of the city banks is selling national
currency at thirty cents per one thous-
and dollars discount. The operation is
more spiteful than necessary. One of
the great advantages originally sought
in IA national currency, is uniformity of
value in all parts of the country, and
this was believed to be secured by the
same responsibility of the Government
for its ultimate redemption, and the re-
ceivability of all alike in all parts of
the country for all payments TO the
Government, except customs. If the
banks themselves make Il distinction
as is proposed ut New York, IA war
among the banks is inaugurated mt
once; with what result cannot be fore
told. That the city banks require some
little concession on the part of the coun-
try banks, whose circulation so largely
tends to the commercial centres, cannot
be denied, but whatever is right and
tluilIple SlOulu DC adjusted between
the city and country banks without
coming before the public. The move
meut at New York is understood to in
clude all the banks of the three cities,
New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
in the Clearing House arrangement OF
their respective cities. We see it stated
that of the one thousand five hundred
and forty-eight banks established un-
der the National system, one thousand
and twenty-nine have selected New
York, Boston and Philadelphia. as
places of redemption for their notes,
while two hundred and seven have Sc
lected Cincinnati, Chicago, Pittsburg
and other provincial points. This leaves
three hundred and twelve banks which
have made no selection whatever. tits
believed by not a few that if this sys-
TEN is adopted it will be blow struck
at the National banking system; that
it will have the effect of localizing the
National bank circulation, whereas it
ought to be general. The country
banks, it is needless to say, are opposed
to this system of redemption, which
would compel them to constantly keep
balances at one of the financial centers
named,

An election was held in Kanawha
county last Saturday to see whether
the county would subscribe for stock
in the West Virginia Central Railroad.
No returns are given except from
Charleston township, where the vote
stood twenty-three for and forty-three
against subscription. This looks rs
though the road would not receive
much encouragement from Kanawhn,
We had supposed the people of Charles
ton would feel a peculiar interest in it,

IT was not stated by any of the speak

is fact well known that he stood
opposed TO all the proScriptive and par
san measures adopted by a majority OF

We are good deal in doubt as TO
what is meant by ..the live issues OF

forth in the platform adopted at the
meeting. If so, no doubt the denunci-
alton employed in one of the resolu-
tons adopted, as to the intent, scope
and effect of the proposed constitutions

AIr. Lamb with the democracy there:
We submit to the gentleman whether
he and his are in accord with the fol.
lowing extracts from a speech made by
Mr.. Lamb in reference to the very sub.
Ject matter of their denunciations.
When the oath law, passed on tht
25th of February last, was under con.
sideration, Mr.. Lamb made speech or
the subject, i'll the course of which he
took occasion to remark as follows:
Mr.. Speaker Il have always con-
templnted that it would be necessary
for US here in West Virginia, as soon as
we could see certainly the end of these
troubles, TO hold Constitutional Con
vcntion for the purpose of amending
many provisions of our constitution
and have always contemplated thai

This is the course which have long
contemplated in reference 10 this sub,

had been urging the argument of self
preservation, Mr.. Lamb said:

Brooke County.

The editor of the welisburg Herald
was recently here in attendance at the
session of the U. S. District Court. He
discOurses In his paper of yesterday in
relation to the deliberations in the grand
jury room as follows:
United States Court, Judge Jackson
presiding, was in session for several
days recently, adjourning on Wednes-
day morning of this week, until Tues
day, November l4th, next, for the COM
Sideratiou of business connected prin-
cipally with the collection of the u. s.
License and Income Tax. The impress
sion is very general, and investigation
only confirms il, that there is great
deal OF deception, to call il by no worse
name, practiced in this regard: and the
court seems determined that the gov
ernment shall have all to which it is
entitled. Our county of Brooke APP
peared To very poor advantage on II
general review, and the probable in
comes of her citizens We're submitted
4 to- quite n searching investigation, that
will inevitably result in numerous in
dictmentS mt the adjourned session of
the jury, unless in the meantime their
| returns be amended or the officers be
satisfied of their present correctness.
| To this end, Mr.. Collector Orr will give
notice, by advertisement and otherwise,
that all parties in the district will have
an opportunity, at certain times and
places hereafter TO be stated, to appear
before the respective assessors and cor
rect whatever may be defective or erro-
neous in their returns, otherwise, their
cases to come before the jury for inves-
LEGATION.
The following items we also take from
the Herald:
RECoNsTRUCTISG,-Ex-Judge G. w.
Thompson was admitted, on aPplica-
ton, to practice in the United States
Court, at its recent session. DIR. NJ. II,
Houston, John Knote, William Martin,
Thomas Raymond and others made
their appearance, took advantage of the
amnesty, and We're restored such por-
tons of their estates as had not been
disposed of under the confiscation law.
Ed. H. Eitzhugh made similar appli-
cation, which no doubt will be granted.
Thus gradually is the process of recon-
struction going on, but we doubt if ever
these beneticiaries of the Government
leniency have as comfor table feelings
nS'liu, as they enjoyed previous to their
reasonable escapades.
