obedience to Law the Highway
Of Peace"

The American people have registered their
win, and it is fatal to Democracy. General
Grants elected by a majority of the popular
vote, unprecedented in the history of the Re-
puolie. The Congressional policy Of Recon-
struction is endorsed, and the State govern
Iaents erected under II, sustained by this re-
suit. The Democratic attempt to restore the
rebels to power has been completely foiled,
and the last hope of ever being successful
has sunk in the darkest night Of despais, to
rise no more forever. Loyal men must and
will rule the country. They gave their I'M
stinted treasure and brayest blood to pre-
serve il. II is the Arbitrament Of the bayo-
net. 1t is the Fat of destiny. 1t is the edict
Of God. Two million OF voices announce
this, with a shout that rolls like u~nloosed
thunder from the moaning waves that break
upon the rock-ramparted coasts Of Maine TO
the far OF ocean of sunset, that is echoed By
the ice-locked regions Of the North and an
swerrd from tho sunny plains, where the
palm trees groT and eternal spring spreads
her glories round. It is folly to cayil. 1t is
wise to acquiesce. II is hazardous to dispute.
Il will be peace, happiness, good feeling and
salvation to accept the result. Those who
are dissfeeted, must certainly see all this, as
we'll as we. II stupidity has not euthrallej
them, and blindness not woven it's web over
their perceptions, our c~ounsels will not be I'M
needed. They have yet time TO retrieve the
cAlamities Of their error. Repudiats your
h~eresics, determine to be good citizens, re-
tara to your allegiance and you will be for.
given. Your dead enterprises will spring in
to active, vigorous and lnsty life, and your
desOlations that have not = rose on the stalk
to tell where the garden has been, win bloom
and blossom as Of old.

Decision in Boston in Regard TO
National Banks.

In the suit of the Merchants Ma.
tional Bank VS. the State National
Bank, which originated in the State
street Irregularities, Judge Clifford to.
day read the opinion of the Circuit
Court. He decided that the act of
June, 1864, under which National
Banks were created, conferred no
authority on cashiers of banks to Ger.
tify checks, and that the power to
certify checks for third parties who
were not interested was not among
the duties of cashiers. He also held
that the law on State banks, which
declared the duties Of cashiers, did
not confer any power, or such power,
to certify the check of a third party;
and, in addition, there appeared to be
no question that national banks gem
orally could not certify checks. The
court, in view OF these considerations,
directed the jury to give a verdict
for the State Bank. The counsel for
the Merchants National Bank i'm
mcdiately filed n bill of exceptions,
and the case will go to the United
States Supreme Court for final adjudi-
cation.
