The Washington correspondent OF the CINCINNATI
Gazette writes as follows in relation to the recent
failure in that city,
Washington, Mag l5.-Wbile the late closing of
the Merchants National Bank of this city a
swindle rather shan failure in the technical sense
of that word, yet it will doubtless lead TO the eX-
pOsure OF certain practices which possible under
the present rules regulating National Banks. 1t
appears from the investigation into the affairs OF
this bank that Comptroller Clark is now making,
in connection with the War Department and Pay
master General Brice that interest at the rate OF
four per cent. was paid upon the balances OF all dis
bursting officers and Government agents who depOs-
tied funds there and that this IN all cases. went INTO
the pockets of those making the deposits Mr. II.
a Risey, Special Supervising Agent OF the Treas
ury Department, is credited on the books Of the
bank, as thus far examined, with four hundred dol
lars interest money and Paymaster Panldinga do4-
en- times with sums varying from eight hundred TO
q thousand dollars each.
Hobbs who was the Discussing Clerk Of the Treas
ury Department proper, had twenty-five thousand
dollars on deposit in the bank His sole OF funds
consists in paying the clerks in the Treasury build
ing and there could be possible necessity for hav
ing money in this bank. His payments were all
made in his own room, where was safe suffcientto
hold al his funds.
The whole transaction has been q 5windle upon
the great scae and strange feature of the case is,
that Government officials high in position were as
sured of the unsoundness Of the concern months
ago. The drafts of the bank were persistently re-
fused in New York by one house over month
since.
As 3 specimen OF how matters were managed, the
case Of an officer of Massachusetts regiment, re-
Gently discharged is in point. Upon the final set
Element of his account, this officer received Colonel
Paulding's check for five hundred dollars, which he
presented at the counter Of the bank At this time
Col Pauldings deposits were very large. The Off
to whom the check was presented began 10 count
out the amount in one dollar bills and fractional cur
rency in small packages. The officer objected say
ing that as he was about starting home, he could
not conveniently carry the money in that form, but
that he desired to have it in large bills. These he
was told were not on hand, but they could give him

This he took, but on reaching New York and pre-
senting his draft it came back TO him protest

A Curious Statement about Santa Anna
and Secretary Seward.

The Washington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette makes the following statement, upon his
own responsibility no doubt:
It Is known that Santa Anna came to this coun-
try through the influence Of Secretary Seward
Santa Anna was expected last week Friday, at
which time, it will be remembered, it was teie-
graphed over the country that Mr. Seward had gone
TO Auburn; but the nOn-arrva of the steamer Geor-
gia upon which Santa Anna was, delayed his trip
until Saturday; but still the vessel did not come
On Sunday Santa Anna was announced. On Mon
day Mr.. Seward, accompanied by his private Secre-
tary, went in private to Jersey City, reaching
Taylors Hotel in that city at daylight on Tuesday.
He registered his own name unofiicially, and his
Secretary, upon being requested to register, de-
clned. Several men from Ehzabethport, where
Santa Annas party IS stopping, reached the hotea at
very early hour and were in waiting for Mr.. Sew
ard. The interview lasted for some time and FROM
the description given of party, he is believed TO
be Santa Anna himself Mr.. Seward left Jersey
City at Il 4. NJ. the same day for Auburn. This is
the second attempt that has been made to get Santa
Anna into this country since Mr.. Stewards inter-
view with him at ST. Thomas last winter. The first
effort tslled although vessel was sent specially for
him. Upon the last occasion he was given TO under
stand that II he expected to accomplish anything he
must come here at once, because matters were in
sueh shape that further delay would be fatal to the
proposed plans, whatever they were. Santa Annals
devotion 10 the liberal cause is believed n he IN ar
ranged blind.

Decisions Of the Tennessee Supreme
COurt---COntracts Based upon Con-
federate Money Void.

We learn that the business Of the Supreme Court
finished yesterday. The case of Humes, admin
istrator of Stoner VS.. Ward &c. was decided in IA
vor of the complainants. A good deal Of interest
has been felt in this by persons who have been
dealing in Confederate currency. Stoner borrowed
from Ward, in the earl part Of 1852, about $4,000
IN Confederate currency and gave his note Tor the
amount TO Ward, and TO secure the note gave deed
in trust the lot which is the Senate House on
Jefferson street. The debt fell due and was not
paid, and therefore the trustee advertised and
about to sell the house and lot. Soner being dead
the administrator filed bill in chancery to enjoin
the sale, alleging that the note and deed in trust
were void, for the reason that the consideration of
the same was Confederate currency.
The Court held that the note and trust deed were
void, and ordered the same to be cancelled, and the
trustee to be perpetuay enjoined from atten pting
to sell the house and lot
The Court also decided that il Is 10. necessary 10
the validity of writg and other process III judicial
proceedings in the courts of the States that the in
ternal revenue stamp prescribed by the acts of Con-
gress should be affixed to the writs of process that
The Government Of the United States has not the
constitutional power TO require stamps TO be affixed
to process issued by the State Courts. The opinion
was proposed and read by Judge Alvin Hawkins,
and is spoken OF by the bar as marked by great
learning and cogency Of argument. The decision
was made in the case of the Union Bank Of Tennes-
see vs. Yanderyille.-N Memphis Bulletin.

Playing Cards,

Cards were invented in 1891 by Jaequemin Grun-
genmour, to amuse King Henry VI, Of France, who
at that time was mad. The ace was made tha best
card in the pack. being derived from the French
word Urgent signifying money, and to show that
king could not get along without it. as a mental
card backed by the ace would triumph over a king.
The kings were called David, Alexander Caesar and
Charlemagne; the queens were named Argine,
Rachel, Palles and Judith; the'varlets or knaves
represented the squires to the king and were named
Launcelot, Ogier Renard and Hector; the tens,
mines, Sc, represented the foot soldiers. The ace
of clubs was so named and formed TO represent q
clover leaf, and to signify to the king that good
genersl would always encamp his army where pas
turage was plenty. The ace Of spades represents
the halberts carried by the foot soldiers the ace
diamonds represented the heads of the arrows used
BY the -bowmen, and of hearts represented
