Nep York, April 10, 1869.
The law which taxes bankers makes its own
definitions If these definitions do not happen
to agree with those of the late Mr. Moan
Webster (who, it must be admitted, is very
respectable authority in general Way'( OF
with the definitions, customs, and usages Oh
Wall-st., the fact may be unfortunate for the
busy denizens of that locality; but we
really cannot see how it can properly be
regarded as the fault of Mr.. h ID.
Webster. The Act Of July 3D. 1866,
and we believe it has not since been
changed, defines banks and bankers as fol-
lows Every incorporated or other bank, and
every person, firm, or company, having
" place of business where credits are opened
"by the deposit or collection of money
cor currency, subject to be paid OF
"remitted upon draft, check, or order
" or where money is adUaneed or loaned on stocks,
bonds, bullion, bills of exchange, or promiSsory
notes, or where stocks, bonds, bullion. bills Of
/" exchange, or promissory notes are receired for
/" discount or sale, shall be regarded as bank or
as q banker"
IL stock Broker" cannot see under this defni-
ton, on his own statement of the business
which he carries on, that he is banker, we
submit that it would be waste of valuable
space to try further to impress the fact upon
his mind. The reason why the making of adj
yances upon cotton or other merchandise is not
banking ought to be sufficiently obvious from
the reading of the foregoing definition. The
! law does not make it banking while it does
declare that the lending of money upon stocks,
| bonds, &C., is banking.

The Senate did good thing, yesterday, in
laying the nomination of Mr.. Sanford, for Min
lister to Spain, on the table. There was gen
eral sense of his unfitness for the place, and
tho times are too critical to be trusting such
missions to any but men who command the
confidence of the country that sends them, and
are therefore sure of a proper standing with
the Governments to which they are accredited.

Senator Anthony's ruling in the Senate last
night, if correctly reported, is not creditable

TO construe the charge that a
Senator skulked out of the Chamber
and the threat that satisfaction would be sought
elsewhere, as in order under any conceivable
circumstances To do so, when the decision
bore against Senator with whom he himself
had an acrimonious quarrel. was an abuse of
the power of Presiding Officer. We trust the
renort is inaccurate.

Importance Of the Mississippi River.

The Cincinnati GOnsmgciat justlyr re-
marks that the Mississippi river and trib,
utaries afford an inland navigation of
more than $4,000 miles. The region
drained by its waters is of unsurpassed
fertility and productiveness, constituting,
all things considered, the happiest and
most desirable abode for man that can
be found on the surface Of the earth.
This great river, upon which there can be
no exclusive rights, must forever remain
free, and its carrying capacity will for all
time exceed that Of all the railroads that
can be built. In 70 country have rail-
roads been able to do all the work offered
them; much less can they expect to long
control any considerable Aortion of the
heavy trade Of the Mississippi valley. In
the fnture, whatever subsidies of land or
money Congress may be willing to grant
for works and internal improvements,
must be bestowed for the improvement of
the Mississippi and it's tributaries.
We clip the above from the Missouri
Democrat. The sentences which it as-
cribes to the Cincinnati Commercial were
first penned by our well known townsman,
Gen. William Vandever, and made known
to the world through the columns of the
Times, On the 9th of August. The doc
trine is sound. and on this account we
wish credit given to the proper author.

TWENTY, SEVEN CENTS WORTH OF MAR
RlED LlFE.--In Virginia, where the law
fixes the marriage fee at one dollar, there
is a reminiscence of couple, who, many
years ago, called on parson and request
cd him to marry them.
"Where is my fee ?' said the function
ary.
The parties who were to unite their for
tunes did SO at once, and found the joint
amount to be twenty-seven cents. .
81 can't marry you for this sum-" said
the irate old gentleman.
"a little bit Of service will go a long
way" suggested the male applicant.
"Ah, no. said the parson. "you dom,
pay for the size of the bill, but for the
good you hope it will do YOU"
The lass, intent on marriage, began tc
weep, but the parson was inexorable, ant
the couple turned sadly to depart. Jus
then happy thought seemed to strike tn,
forlorn maiden, and she turned and criet
through her tears '.Plcase, sir, if yo.
can't marry us .tuU up, won't you marry
.s twenty-seven cents worth; we car
come for the rest some other time"
This was too much for the parson. III
married them ''full up' and they went OF
their way rejoicing.

NIcGREGOR, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT l5 1862
The "ReCrganized ChUrch.o

Quite surprise was given to our citi-
zens on Sunday morning by the announces
ment that Elder Z. c. Brand, of the ''Re-
organized Church of Latter-day Saints"
would preach at the Episcopal Church, ut
10 o'clock, a. m. The Elder called upon
us, and in an hours conversation show d
that he was thoroughly in earnest in his
work for the "Josephite," or anti.polyga.
my Mormonism. At the appointed hour
large audience was in attendance and
listened patiently for more than an hour
to an able exposition of the peculiar
views of the 'Josephtes." We own to
being greatly surprised at the particularly
able manner in which Elder Brand handled
tie case of Abraham, so much depended
on by the Brighamites to sustain the di-
vine origin Of polygamy. Logically and
fully he went over every point in the his
tory of that strange case, demonstrating
so clearly that there was no possible es-
cape from his conclusions, the following
points:
1st. That God never established POI
lygamy.
ID. That the case Of IIagar orig!na-
ted solely in the unbelief of Sarah.
Sd. That Sarah and Abraham both
bitterly repented of the step they had ta-
ken, and were repro7ed by the Lord for
their unbelief.
4th. That the sacred record nowhere
alludes to Hagar as rife but always as
the serrant of Sarah.
5th. That the Lord continually and no
less than dozen times refused to recog-
nze Ishmael as lawful son, sending him
into the desert to be the progenitor of
fierce barbarians, while "the son, the only
son Isaac," became thes head of Gods
people.
9th. That "the son Of the bondwo-
man" was stigmatized by the Lord, to
show his special dislike to polvgamy, and,
many other points equally we'll taken.
With the closest attention we failed to de>
tect a flaw in his reasoning, it was simply
unanswerablc. T. the afternoon Elder
Branch preached on the distinctive doc
trines of his church; we did not attend,
but learned that the discourse was an able
one. We are no Mormon of either type,
but every liberal heart must sympathize
with the rerormers in their mission against
the abominations set up in Utah by the
Brighamites. Elder Brand goes to-day to
Malad City, after which he will return and
preach in Brigham City and Ogden. We
wish him all success in his labors for re-
form.- Utah Reporter.

Activity OF FIsK.-The New York Ec.
press says that the Erie Railway Company
has made an arrangement with the Lake
Shore Company, by which the forseri is to
lay third rail from Dunkirk to New
York within year, thus making uni
form guase between Chicago and New
York by the Erie route. Five millions Of
bonds are to be issued by the Erie Com
pany for the improvement, which are to
be secured by lien on the receipts Of the
narrow gauge. The Erie Company is to
fix the rates on western bound freight,
and the Lake Shore Company on eastern
bound freight. The Erie, Atlantic &
Great Western and Lake Shore Compan-
les also have an agreement whereby pas
sengers to Chicago may go over the At

Those dear little helpless, tottling
infants, the owners of the soft coal mines
in Pennsylvania and Maryland, modestly
ask US, in letter printed in the Adrer>
tiser, to continue to pay them only S'l,25
FER ton, in gold, more than we should
have to pay if there were no duty on coal,
because (they say) if we don't, the gas
companies will get the plundcr- instead Of
themselves.
These poor and famishing infants have
only S20,OO0,O0O invested, as they say :;
and they must. Of course, be tenderly
nursed. Therefore, by all means, let us

get it, just to keep the wolf from their
doors They tell us that Nova Scotia
coal is unfit for steam or domestic purpos
es; and, Of course, we are bound to
believe them. Infants always tells the
truth Although we have warmed our
house for many years with Nova Scotia
coal, we don't believe it ever did make
good fire. The senses are deusiye, you
tnow; the transcendentalists say so; and
these infant lips repeat the strain. We
must, therefore, be mistaken.
Neither, Of course, has the iron been
good iron, OF which SO many thousand
tons have been made with Nova Scotia
coal.
On the whole, we have come TO the
conclusion that English coal, so like Nova
Scotia coal in many places, is really good
for nothing. 1t is'used all over England,
to be sure; but then we all know the
English are a stupid people in business
matters.
Go it, little infants, but don't bc sassy
to the gas companies. Save your steam !;
for the steam made by Nova Scotia coal
is not half SO expensive as your sweet
beneyolence, and we need all you can get
up.
By all means, let the little infants
choose our coal for US. and we will cheer
fully pay double price for what they let
us have. They have only S2O,O00,OO0
invested in their six corporations, and so
they are not competent to stand alone

And mcekly answered, mo"

Tell me, hard-hearted man,
Withholding day-by day,
Is there no honor in thy breast
The printers bill to pay,
Unanswering turns he around
How plain hi actions show:
An uttered oatL-cap sound is heard,
His actions answer "no."
Tell mo. ye gentle nymphs,
Who bless life's hours through,
Is there one sacred shrine
Where printers get theii due,
A mantliDg blush her cheek difusea,
Did tentoid grace impart--
A soft responsive sigh replied,
