The NATIONAL BANK SYsTEM-1t cannot
be doubted that some distrust of our national
bank system prevails IN the country, though
as yet its evil effects have been chiefly felt i'll
the stimulus which it has G ven to specula-
ton, and its consequent Encouragement of
regular business. 1t has been found, from
experience, that these banks can be establish
ed with only nominal capital, and that they
present great temptations to, and facilities for,
a reckless course of speculation, tending ne
eessarily to ultimate bankruptcy The secur-
ity intended to be provided for the creditors
of national bank by the twelfth section of
the law amounts, really and practically, to lit
| tie or nothing. ANY set of bankers or their
legal attorneys may drive coach and four
through the restraining or punitory provi-
sions Of the law. This could easily be shown
by giving practical examples which have
come under public notice. .........
Some of the faults of the system are insepa-
rabIe from the institution itself; but others are
owing to the administration of the law One
of the statements of the Comptroller of the
Currency shows that the Government has
over five hundred millions on deposit in these
banks, and security for the same to the extent
| off only thirty six millions. The banks, having
seldom much real capital, do business upon
these deposits The Government confers upon
| them an undue credit by making them de-
positories of public funds; and individuals
think themselves safe in trusting their money
where the Government confdes its own Be-
sides, the Government has left no other place
| of deposit-the old local banks having given
way to the new system.
| The national banks are started to make mo-
ney, and to make it by lending public and
private deposits. Some of them have been
unusually successful-having doubled their
nominal capital within year. AS long as
the Government retains a paper currency of
| eight hundred millions, and nearly all of it
| too In one section of the country, the national
banks must have the use of it as public or pri-
vate repositories. There is no legitimate busl-
ness for its employment, and it is used to run
riot in reckless speculation, Win any one
pretend that for this city we need a number
of national banks for business purposes? OF
course, it is understood that the public deposits
will be used for any purpose in the world, ex-
cept that of facilitating commercial business
in this District. = Wash. Sunday Eerald

The Latest Battle Field.

Rev. Dr.. Craven, on his way to the Cen
eral Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in New Orleans, stopped at
Lynchburg, Va, and, in writing to the
Raleigh Enterprise, makes the following
touching allusion to Appomattos G. H., in
Virginia
We have passed, to day, through h local.
ity of undying memories. Appomattox G.
II. will be remembered when Petersburg
and Raleigh are forgotten. The whole
country shows, most impressively, that the
storm of war has passed over it. The de-
bris of ruined army of heroic men brings
sadness to the soul. Over all this field OF
the death.struggle, the farmers are plough
ing, new fences have been erected, and the
budding vegetation is just now awaking to
the wooing Of spring, but these signs Of life,
generally so welcome, seem discordant here
1t seems to the, sad soul and the fearful eye
that these old shoes, these broken guns,
these fragments of wagons, wrecks of cars,
pieces of old hats, bleaching bones of horses,
and nameless graves of many a Southern
boy, ought to be in desert.
As.we leok upon the forsaken batteries
and immense hospitals of Farmville, or the
stricken fields of Appomattox, we feel that
the plough ought not to turn this soil, that
the trees ought 10 die, and that no bird
ought ever sing here again. No Union
man, however, true aud loyal to the United
States, If he is man, could walk over this
desperate field unmoved and untouched
Here brave army surrendered, gave up it'
arms, and laid its banners in the dust
Here lie the remains of a son and brother
for whom a mother mourns and sister
weeps, and there is none to comfort them
Here lie the half uncovered bones of a ia
ther, whose little children still ask, "wher
will father come homer" 1t is now night
it. is raining gently, all is still, and feel |
lonely sadness that makes the heart ache

A Fathers Advice.

There is great deal of philosophy and
some strong "horse-sense" in the following
paragraph, and conveyed TOO in manner
we'll calculated TO impress itself upon the
mind of one who will read it carefully
We mmend it to such of our young friends
as may be, like "Bob," about leaving home
for strange parts" 1t contains good moral
lessons
"Bob, you are about leaving home fol
strange parts. You are going to throw me
out of the game and goit alone. The odds
are agin you. Bob-remember that indus,
try and perseverance, are winning cards, as
they are the sbowers.' Book learning, and
all that sort of thing, will do to fill up with
like small trumps, but you must have the
bowers to back them or they amt worth
shucks. If luck is agin you pretty strong,
don't cave and look like sick chicken on a
rainy day, but hold up your head and make
believe you ure flush of trumps they won't
play SO hard agiu you. I've lived and trav.
elled some, Bob, and I've found out that as
soon-as folks thought you held weak hand
they'd all buck agin you strong So, when
you're sorter weak, keep on bold front ;
but play cautious; be satisfied with pint.
Many's the hand I've seen 'em eucre cause
they played for too much. Keep your eyes
we'll skinned, Bob /: don't let em mig you
recollect the game lays as much with the
head as with the hand. Be temperate nev.
er get drunk, for then no matter how good
your hand, YOU wont know how to play it !;
both bowers and the ace wont save you I;
for there's surtin to be q "miss deal" or
something wrong
And another thing, Bob, (this was spo-
ken in low tone), don't 60 too much on
women; queens is kinder poor cards the
more you have of 'em the worse for you !;
might have three, and nary trump. l
don't say discard 'em all; if you get hold
of one that is a trump, it's all good, and
there's sartin to be one out of four. And
above all, Bob, be honest; never take a
mans trick wot don't belong to you, nor
slip cards, or mig for then you can't look
your man in the face, and when that's the
case, there is 90 fun in the game it's reg
ular 'cut-throat So now, Bob, farewell !;
remember what tell you, and you'll be
sure to win; and if you don't, it sarVes you
right if you get sskunked.'"

An Important Decision.

The Richmond Rhfg calls attention to
the following important decision, and gives
its views in relation to it:
1t has been generally supposed that legal
instruments were not valid unless they have
the prescribed revenue stamps upon them.
But Judge Hoar, of the Supreme Court Of
Massachusetts, one of the most eminent ju.
rists in the country, has decided that this
is not the case. The New Bedford Mercury
says: In case before the Supreme Judi
cial Court, in Taunton, the question Of the
validity of deed to which no revenue
stamp was affixed was raised Judge Hoar
.unhesitatingly decided that the absence of
the stamp does not invalidate the deed. He
questioned whether Congress so intended in
framing the internal revenue law, but was
clear in the opinion that statute of the u
nited States undertaking to inVaidate an
instrument which by the laws of the State
is valid, would be unconstitutional. The
Government may exact penalty for failure
to afx stamp, but cannot make void the
instrument for the lack Of the stamp
The principle involved is analogous to
that decided by the United States Supreme
Court in the case of the Massachusetts, IL
quor sellers They contended that they we're
empowered to carry on their traffic in viola
tion of State law, by virtue of paying Fed.
eral tax Whereas the Federal Government
has no right and does not presume to over
ride State law and grant licenses, but, find
ing business prosecuted, it exercises the
power of taxing that business. So in the
case of written instrument authorized by a
State. The Federal Government possesses
no constitutional right to. interfere with its
validity, but finding it iu existence it may
exercise the power of taxing that existence
