WINDING UP or BHoKss BASKs.-Under
the provisions Of the National Banking Law,
the Comptroller Of the Currency appoiata =

and proceeds to collect I'll claims, ana 70 dss-
pose Of the real estate and pefsonal properly

to collect Of the stockholders respectively =
sum not exceeding the original amount Of

Of The concern, our Of which to pay liabilities.
The United States bonds deposited in the
Treasury amounting to ten per cent. more
than the amount of the circulation of the
bank are to be sold, and the proceeds applied
TO the payment of the bank notes or bills Of
national currency issued from the bank. The
surplus, with all other assets, including, II
necessary, the duplicate amount Of stock, Is
then to be applied 10 the payment OF deposi-
tors and other indebtedness, ia full, or pro

meet liabilities.
Under this system, bank may be com
,elied By stress of unforeseen circumstances
to suspend, it may be, though honestly man-
aged on sound business principles. Bat there
can be no ultimate loss TO creditors except
through gross Encouragement or criminal
rascality IN the conduct OF the business afnirs
Of the bank.
Hence, we infer that depositors who have
web grounded confidence in the possession Of
An ordinary degree Of business capacity and
average ,mmon honesty by the officers Of
the bank, may expect eventually to get their
money back. For there has been no such
Revision in Financial matters as to cause

New YoRK, July q. - Several cases OF
cholera, including three DEATHS, have occurred
in what is known as the shanty district, por.
ton OF the city bounded by Sixty second and
Seventeen streets and Eighth and Tenth ave-
nues, occupied by squstters. The condition
Of the neighborhood Ia wrctehed, and tho foul
air arising from stagnant water, and the filthy
habits Of the residents, have been the causes
OF the disease. The board OF health have
already Abated nuisanccs and tn thoroughly puri.
fed the district by disinfectants. The cases
which have occurred are not numerous enough
to cnuse any fears Of epidemic cholera.

In travelling over the country, Gen. Grant
has spread out before him q large map OF all
this new portion of the tnion. He examines
the country, makeB Inquiries about everything
which Is new or which he does not understand,
makes notes Rpd corrections on his map, and
hardly allows u moment to pass unimprOyei.

when necessary aud always to the point.
while all the other members of the party fire..

| that General Grant did not smoke at all. He

seemed to enjoy the trip with genuine heart

Everybody who knows Gen, Grant, know
that he loves good cigar, and what this write

MONTGOMERY, ALA, July 27.-Doth Houscs
have passed an act ratifying the code Of Ala

constitution OF the State.
A debate in the Senate this morning shows
that q large number Of Senators are In favor

Mr.. Harrington, OF Mobile, offered rcsolu .
