The only relaxation in the opposition by the
leading Banks of New-York TO the scheme for
"running the interior Banks on their circulation,
is comprised in the fact that the question will be
discussed again at the clearinghouse next week.
After the enemies Of the National system have had
another convention to discredit the National cur
rency tits be hoped that the question will again be
tabled beyond al hope of resurrection. The people
are satisfied with National Bank notes, and they
are only docried and doubted by the small clique OF
hank officials of "the three cities" which, during
the Rebellion, embarrassed the Treasury Depart
mcnt. This currency is good enough for the Gov
eminent and the people at large, and will be used
through or over the Directing banks in New

Lndies, skating oostumre.s.


AS the skating season is upon us, ladies
will naturally feel an interest in knowing
what are the prevailing costumes. 1t is
said the styles of last year will almost uni
versally prevail. The dress will consist of
full Turkish or Bloomer trowsers, tight fit
ting jackets, high Polish boots, and high
turban-shaped cap. The cap, jacket and
boots will be trimmed with fur, sable being
preferred. A very tasteful dress, and one
which probably will be widely adopted, is
formed BY the new scarlet, balmoral skirt,
tight fitting basquine, Polish boots and
Derby hat. The usual extent Of non-con-
formity to prescribed styles may, howey-
er, be expected. Few ladies, unless to
considerable degree proficients in the art Of
skating, care to render themselves conspic-
uous by dressing in costume, and as there
is still a number of them who have not yet
attained that accomplishment, street toilets
at the skating park will not prove uncom-
mon. Something has been designed in the
nature of q bag whiehto carry the skates,
but the useless affair probably never will
be generally adopted, ,b.9.4 ,-.. T., .a,a .

y On this topic, a late New York fashion
paper has the following: ~
Curls, in imitation Of natural ones, are
now in vogue among those who feel called
upon to set an example In simplicity of
appointments, They are neat and tasty,
butdestined not to be POPULAR. They are
not Snowy enough for the taste ofthis day
and generation ngi'rqoH s'fela8e
A more admired style of wearing the
back hair is braided circle, iilleds with
four open perpendicular braids, with d gilt
barin the center Of each. 10 It0tl9UR ,
Another is an ornamental comb, with a
dozen or more Metternich ctrls attached.
This style demands arrow of Metternich
crIrlsi hanging low on the brow! These are
generally attached to- a band of bright-coI-
ored ribbon, ,a,s.,, gs.,sTg Hv.s- rps =
. With the simple, ''coil" an Alexandrine
curl is worn behind each ear, the front hair
being puffed. Hair is now SO high-priced--
long hair especially-that few ladies ever

Metternich curls, being made ofshorthair,
and being consequently cheaper. and, like
wise, more ..dressy,'' and more Juvenile,

The attention of the benevolent citizens
of Columbus and vicinity is respectfully
solicited in behalf of the above school. 1t
is known to the community that the above
institution has found such favor in the eyes
Of the public, that the old building became
inadequate to the wants of the rapidly m
! creasing number of pupils, and that in
order to accommodate as many as desire to
enter, a new School House of substantial
character has been erected. To place it ON
sure footing, with regard to appoint
ments, funds, &C., Fair will. be. held at
Naughton Hall for that purpose. The
ladies, who have already began to con-
tribute to this enterprise, earnestly call
upon all TO unite with them and make this
> Fair still more attractive and entertaining
than any former one in this city. Thetlo-
nations are already quite large, and the
prospect for a greater success is very cheer

11I.urceny n qof EDeIrnocratlc Tears.

~ Our Republican contemporaries are eX-
eeedingly. displeased over the execution of
: the negro rebels in Jamaica, We think
? they have good reason for their clamor, but
/ we cannot see, that they have any right to
complain. After we had conquered our
rebellion, at a time when the entire South
had thrown down its arms and we were
masters Of the situation; with an army of
amillion Of men with nothing to fear from
any direction-we ayailed ourselves liber-
ally of the use of the court-martial. If
President johnson had not stood firm, the
eourt-martial would still be at work pre-
pairing victims for the hangman. Had Abb
Olition newspapers and orators and preach
ers been listened to, the South would, at
the very least, by this time, have been deci7r
mated by the gallows. E.srt .-i l.,. ~
The Jamaica authorities employed the
court-martial in time Of war, They were
surrounded by massacre and arson, and
when they caught negro red-handed, they
gave him trial and hung him. The differ
ence between ourselves and Jamaica Is, that
they, surrounded by imminent danger, did
to Inurder0us negroes what our Abolition
lists wished us to do, after the danger was
passed, to white men whom we had recOg-
nized as belligerents. I'd l.,yr.g .
Hence we assert that our Abolitionists
have no call to set up such a lugubrious
howl over affairs in. Jamaica. Could they
have had their repeatedly expressed wish,
the court martial and the hangman's rope
would have been in active operation here
long after the danger was over. II any
body has any business to feel badly over
the Jamaica punishment, it is such news
papers and such people as deprecated the
use of courts-martial and hangings after
