The amount of costs and expenses will APP
pear large. unless explained. But the Re
ceivers, when they came into possession of the
assets, found various suits pending in Boston,
commenced by the Directors of the Bank
against some Of its largest creditors. These
were disposed of as early as practicable.
The Receivers also found some of the most
valuable assets pledged by the Directors to
secure the sureties on a bond given to an
officer in Boston who seized the ship Alex
andrine by order of the Directors. A suit was
commenced against this officer in the name of
J. W. Ford, of London, claiming to be the
owner of the Alexandrine. This suit in the
end failed. But these various suits cost over
$1,000. The Receivers, under legal advice,
commenced trustee process in Rhode
Island, with the hope of securing about $4,000
due Capt Snow, debtor of the Bank The
action was defeated, at a cost of about $3.50.
Amongst the other expenses paid, were
United States taxes due from the Bank at the
time of the injunction, Sl47.3l. Taxes on
real estate taken on execution, S290.S3.
Premium note due on the Alexandrine, SlS4.-

Wisconsin, on certain notes, S54. 6O-cost of
a messenger sent by the Directors to Boston,
to secure debts due the Bank, $500, besides
bills for advertising, printing, &C.
The protracted litigation arising from the
debtors of the Bank contesting every suit as
far as the law and the courts would admit, has
increased the expense from $1,000 to $500.
No less than seven cases has been carried up
to the law court, the decisions in favor of
which have been published in the Maine Re-
ports, volumes 81 and Sc. One more has
been decided, another have been assigned, and
the seventh is to come before the law term in
May next.
OF the principal debtors of the Bank, one
has compounded with the Receivers, four
have gone through bankruptcy, one has died
insolvent, and one has left the country.
The court has ordered dividend to be
made on the receipts of % per cent. of the
amount deposited conditioned that any holder
of receipt may take this dividend in full Of
all his claims, and surrender his receipt, and
not be responsible for any further litigation
against the stockholders. The dividend is
not payable on any other condition.
| The court has assessed the deficiency on
the stockholders to the amount of $3.50 per
share. A bill in equity will be commenced
forthwith against the stockholders.

The Dubuque Herald criticizes severely
the action of the Legislature in the appoint
,aent OF this board on account of lis partl-
8 san character, all being Republicans. Tie
Herald pretends to see jobbing aud plum
dering conspiracy 10 it, and alleges thai
Democrats we're excluded from the board
that the money of the State might be stoler
with greater impuni,y. While we are sure
that tb. Herald suggestions Of corrupt mo-
tives in the appointment of the Commits
siouers are born of desire to make p litlcal
capital, and have no existence in fact, and
while we chserfully testify to the high and
honorable character of the gentlemen ap
pointed, 90 far as we know them, we never
,heless think that it would have been moie
10 accordance with wisdom, good policy and
good taste, for the Legislature to have Sc
lec.ed a portion Of the Capitol Commission
era from the Democrats. The expenditure
is one 10 which the people of the State with
out regard to locality or party are deeply
interested, and the same considerations
which induced the appointment Of commis-
s;ouers because of their location in the State,
should hold good for fair apportionmens
of them between the political parties. The
building Of two million State house is a
gigantic enterprise, and one upon which
large minority of the people of the State, at
least, look with no very cordial feeling Of
appreciation. But as the appropriation was
carried through by no partisan vote in the
Legislature, common prudence and caution
would seem to dictate that it should not as
sumo the light of a partisan measure after
wrl. Beside, it is not good policy for III.
Republican party to assume the whole re-
sponsibili,y for abuses which may occur,
and which are sure to be charged whether
they do or not, in the progress in work OF
no large extent and Importance. The last
Legislature did a wiser thing in appointing
a Democrat as one of the commissioners OF
the Insane Hospital at this city. 1t Is no
more than the truth to say that that gentle.
man is as honest aud efficient in that posi- |
ton as any Republican would have been,
and that his appointment was not only a
compliment to him, but to the body which |
had magnanimity and wisdom to sink par
t;sansh:p IN matters having no political sig
uiiicante.

The House Apportionment Bill.

The House of Representatives on the 18th
inst, passed bill for the apportionment of
Representatives which, if not what such a
measure ought to be in view of considera-
tons OF political justice and fairness to the
whole country, both now and in the future,
IS nevertheless an improvement on the plan
by which members ar, at present appor-
toned. II by the provis ons Of this bill,
the growing population Of the Northwest
cannot be adequately represented by in
creaSing power in the House, we can have,
at least once in ten years, Representative
body there which will be a correct NINA
ture of the country.
The number of representatives is: fixed ty
this bill at 275, an increase of more than
forty over the number as fixed by the act
of May, 1850, on which Representat, es
have since been apportioned to the various
States. For the next Congress, however,
the number will be more than 275-about
300, it is believed-the portions of the
country which would lose under the ratio
| the bill being allowed to elect members as
now. Those portions whose representa-
| tives are increased in number will elect
their new members by the vote of the peo-
| pie of the respective States at large, as is
now the case with one OF the members of
the House from Illinois. Thus, if Illinois
under the bill is entill d to twenty Repre-
sentalives, the pc pie ofihe whole State will
elect seven members, instead of one. as
now, and the people Of the respective dis
tricts thirteen as now. If the 81 te Of Iowa
shall be entitled to ten Representatives, the
people of that c, mmonweallh would elect
four, in addition TIC the six which would be
elected by the people Of The different dis.
tric.s as now composed. And 50 il would
be with other States whose growth sluca
1860 would entrle them to ADDITIONAL repre-.
sentatlon. Those VIII $50 number wouli not
be increased. and even those which oigtt
lose, will elect as now. for The next Cor.
gress-the Forty-second- wi.ttc,er may
take place as to the succeedig Coagr So

:aoug tie Last acts of the Legislature
before lis ed;Uurnneni, was the passage OF
n bill app.oor;aliag $4,000 to pay the ex-
yenses OF the reunion of Iowa soldiers, in
September Saving nothing Of the abs nee
of all authority in the constitution for ap-
preparations for such purposes, this one was
not warranted by necessity or by the respect
proper to be shown to the SELLERS Of the
State, Indeed il will be found that the so :
diers will be not one whit behind their fel.
low citizens in protesting against the ap-
preparation Of the peoples money for this
purpose. Our brave boys do not feel com.
plimentsd by the implication that they are
unable or unwilling to bear the expense
necessary to have social meeting with
their late comrades in arms and even il
that were the case the sum appropriated is
ludicrously insufficient.
We have not seen tue vote by which the
bill passed, but it is quite possible that al
analysis Of i, would show tina: some mem
Lers OF the Legislature, who have been hig
Cling all winter over appropriations abso
lu.ely and impera'ively necessary, voted fol
this unwise measure without word of re
