Sept.4. The committee bad asccrtalned that
the amount Of the bonds 10 circulation at
present was S2,4lS,000. Mr. Fleming
Queens Counsel, to whom the case had
been submitted, gave it as his opinion
that sooner or later either the United
States forming the Southern Confederacy

meeting adjourned to Jan Is next.
The English Government has given
its adhesion to the proposal of France that

A Profitable Establishment.

Among the wonders Of our country few
things are more remarkable than the
growth of the city of Chicago Within
the memory of persons not greatly advan
ced in years it was frontier town OF
comparatively little Importance but a
vivid idea Of the business OF 'this great
grain market" of the northwestern States.
at the present time. may be formed from
an inspection of the following statistics of
the operations of its post Office for quar-
ter of year:
The number of letters that passed
through the Chicago post Office during
the quarter ending September 30, as
shown by the books of the general post
Office, vas ,977, 1868. The receipts of the
Office from letters and newspaper postage
during the same period were $SS,79S 81.
sl2, ,l20 was paid for registered letters.
The expenses of the office were S27, 1856
O3, and the net balance paid over to the
government after the prepayment of all
expenses was S6S,84S OF.
Not many years ago it was matter Of
great doubt if "three-cent postage" could
be made to pay the expense Of conveying
letters; but Notwithstanding the great
increase in the cost of everything conse-
quent upon the changed condition Of the
country and the character of the curren
cy, it is found that considerable reve-
nue. may be derived from the post Office
establishment There are not many in
terror cities which yield SO great a profit
in this way as Chicago does, ard certain
ly none whose increase is in the same pro-
portion.

important Bank Decision.

The suit of the United States against the
Columbia Bank Of Pennsylvania, was tried
in the United STATES Court, before Judges
Grier and Cadwalader. and decided in favor
of the B@nk. This decision settles an i'm.
portant question for the State Banks subject
to tax on their circulation, for we learn that
the present Commissioner of Internal Reye-
nue. concurs in the decision made. Under
the Act of Congress of June 80, 1864. a
monthly duty or tax of one twelfth of one per
cent, was directed to be levied upon the av-
erage amount of circulation by any Bank,
and an additional duty 0fone-sxth of one per
cent, upon the average amount of circulation
beyond ninety per cent. Of capital, which
two taxes the Bank paid without scruple.
The former Commissioner, Mr.. Lewis insis-
ted, that instead of the tax Of one-twelfth of
one per cent. on the average, and one-sixth
of one per cent. on the excess beyond nine
ty per cent. of capital, the Bank should pay
one-twelfth of on per cent. and also one
sixth of one per cent. on the average circu1a-
tion issued by the Bank. in the case of tn.
Columbia, a difference of $3.50 81 against the
Benk. This was refused, and case stated
agreed to, upon which, after argument by
Mr. Gllpln for the United States, and Hon
Thad. Stevens, of Lancaster, for the Bank.
the Court directed judgment TO be entered
in favor of the Bank, which, of course, is an
end of the claim for the additional tax.

Laborers in the Oil Regions.

The Oh register says that the oil region
is well supplied with laborers al present and
that parties proposing to come there, who
have to depend upon their daily labor for a
subsistence, would DO well, probably tostay
where they are. The price of board there
is high, and all other articles in proportion.
Unless working man has steady employ
ment, he will find it difficult to get along.
