An Important Bank Case.

A case which involves the responsibility
of Banks in receiving Bonds and other arti-
cles for safe keeping was tried in Lancaster
City recently. One Merritt Smith, OF York
county, brought suit against the Lancaster
County National Bank, to obtain U. ..
Bonds TO the value Of $500, which ne al
legged he had deposited with them. The
deposit was made in 1866, in the presence
of witnesses, and in January, 1857, Mr.
Smith called for his Bonds, and was inform
ed that they were not there. Very able
counsel was employed on both sides, and the
examination of the trial occupied consider
able time. The Jury rendered verdict IN
favor of the Plaintiff of 81 1880, the
whole amount of the claim. Upon the rem
dition of the verdict. the counsel for the
Bank moved for new trial.

A bill is before the Senate to increase the
number of Justices TO fifteen, including the
Chief. and dividing the Republic into four
It en- Circuits. The bill does not, however,
provide for a corresponGir increase of Ju-
dicial services on these Circuits. That in
crease becomes desirable, in view of the rap
il expansion of the business of the Federal
Courts. State lines are practically growing
fainter every day; important litigations are
now almost always found to involve parties
f.om different States, and the preference
for Federal over State Courts becomes. and
for good reasons, daily more manifest. The
jurisdiction of the former steadily widens.
and their business enlarges, so that already
the profession and the country recognize the
need for an extended Judicial SCI vice. The
especial feature of the new bill introduced
by Senator WILSON, is that which assigns to
the Chief Justice and seven of the A>soci

"Of What Good are They ?h

This question is quite frequently asked
about this season of the year, when the an
nuai reports of the Heads of Departments
and the several general commissioners at
Washington are being circulated by the
press throughout the country. We admit,
says the Telegraph, that frequently reports
are made longer than necessary to give the
information they are intended to convey
but that appenrs to be an evil hard to over
come, although the day is apparently dawn
ing when the Chief Executive of this Gov
ernment shall set an example having that
tendency. This year the majority of the
reports were unusually lengthy. and it re-
quired considerable time in many cases to
separate the wheat from the chaff
Two of the most interesting bits of infor-
nation We have CLEANED are found in the
report of Commissioner Wells That re-
port shows that the receipts for liquors sold
in the United States-not at wholesale, but
at retail-in one year amounted to 81, 400,
10000 Had this appeared in an obscure
column of some struggling newspaper, we
might have doubted its correctness; but it
comes in different shape, and with force,
over the signature of a sworn officer, who
.I,t L. -
sworn returns made under the Internal rev.
enue law The figures are absolutely as
founding, showing as they do that an amount
equal to more than one halt of our national
debt is annually expended for intoxicating
drink
Then, in the same report we learn the
amount of cigars and manufactured tobacco
upon which duties we're paid during the
past year. The actual cost to consumers
alone is estimated as follows: Tobacco.
81, 400, $50. so; cigars, $50, LAT ,95s IA;
making total of Sl03, 54S, 397 "a The
interest on the funded debt of the United
States, at six per cent, is only seventeen
millions more than the people pay for tobac

space of twenty one months, and contribute

The Legal Tenders.

l
For several weeks past, some uneasiness
has existed in commercial circles, OCCASION
ed by the rumor that the United States
Supreme Court would pronounce as uncon-
stitutional the act OF Congress authorizing
an issue of paper money as legal tender IN
payment of debts. But the excitement has
considerably abated within a few days, on
account Of the announcement that the de-
cision would certainly sustain the validity of
the legal tender act. The latter rumor is
probably correct, as it is not likely that
Chief Justice Chase, who claims to be the
author of the system, and of the law, would
be SO inconsistent as to declare the works of
his own hands unconstitutional It is stat
ed that the promised decision will be rem
dered in January, and viii not affect The
validity of the legal tenders, but will only
affirm the binding effect of all contracts
specifically made to pay in gold.
1n abiding to this subject recently, the
New York Sun remarks, that in order to
allsy whatever apprehension may have
been excited by the prospect that the court
will declare greenbacks to be valueless as
currency, it may be as well to remember
that such declaration is not necessary, in
Il. , =. IL
which have been presented, nor is it at all
probable. 1t may possibly be decided that
contracts specifically made for the payment
of coin must be met in coin, or that debts
incurred before the passage Of the legal-ten-
der act are unaffected by its provisions
but these are matters which concern but
small portion of the crmmunity Nearly
all the indictment existing prior to 1862
has been long ago discharged and as to
special contracts for the delivery of coin
all who have made them have at the same
time made preparation for fulfilling them.
But that the judges of the Supreme Court
are going to overturn from top to bottom
the whole business Of the nation by throw
iag greenbacks ont of circulation is too pre-
posterous to be believed for moment They
will take good care TO do 10 more than dis
pose of the cases Immediately before them,
on the narrowest possible ground; and this,
as We have said, will not involve the gener
al validity of the legal tender act at all On
some accounts, it is to be hoped that the
court will hold that contracts for the pay
ment of coin are enforceable according TO
their tern,s. Contracts of this nature are
being made continually, and simple honesty
requires that they should be kept. If the
law were to be formally decreed to be "a
many persons fear it will be, that a man af
ter buying iron, or tea. or sugar, or any 9TH
g. commodity at certain price in gold, and
getting possession of it, could turn round
and compel the seller to accept grcenbacks,
it would be virtually sanctioning swindling.
On the other hand, if it were to simply rat
iiy bargains of this kind. whenever volun
tarily entered into, 1t would quiet much ap-
preheusion and greatly facilitate the trans
actions of commerce. Let everybody be
free u sell and buy aud make contracts eth
er for gold or greenbacks, as they may choose
but when they have chosen, let them stick
to their word.
