It may not be known to many in this To-
cality that charter is in existence for
Savings Bank in this place with capital of
800, 900, the shares in which are only S2O
each The establishment Of this Bank at
this time is very much to be desired. Num-
bers have expressed themselves favorable to
it and their willingness to subscribe liberal
" for the stock. The idea is to loan on good
paper at low rate Of interest, and, while
making fair profit to stockholders, give
the greatest possible advantage and stlmu-
Ions to the business interests of community.
It seems to us that the mere mention of an
institution which could afford large accom-
mediation to our people at a fair interest
would induce all to take stock in it. Such
an institution would be of great benefit to
our merchants, mechanics and laborlng men.
They could, all, en- the plan proposed, take
stock and pay it in almost without feeling
it. Then the advantage from the deposites
of many who do not now deposit with either
bank, but who would deposit with such an
institution, would be immense to one and
all in this community From the fact that
their money would be safer on deposit than
in their own pockets, and that it would not
be used as a means Of extortion would IN
duce our farmers generally to deposit IL such
a bank, All of them have some surplus
viii Oh could be increased by taking stock In
it and many farmers would take stock in
preference to loaning their money themselves
and by this they would derive larger
profit than they could possibly get them
selves. This much merely to call attention
to what would be great desideratum to
this entire community, and to advise those
who feel an interest in the matter (and who
does rot y to push it and establish the
Staunton Savings Bank. More banking
capital and facilities are needed here Let
us take it in hand and secure them.

The special correspondent of the Ba!ti-
more Sun, on the 18th, gives the following
on the subject of removal Of political disa-
bilities
The reconstruction committee, at their
meeting to-day, had up the question Of the
practicability of passing general law vest
ing the power of Congress to remove politi-
cal disabilities imposed by the fourteenth a.
mendment in the United States District
Courts Of the Southern States. A general
discussion Of the matter raised many legal
points, among which was whether Congress
has the power to pass by two thirds vote
general amnesty law This did not meet
with favor, especially among the Southern
members of the committee, who opposed any
general amnesty at the present time; but
the chairman Of the committee, Gen. Butler,
was requested to prepare the details of a bill
locating the congressional power of pardon
in the federal courts, with such limitations
as will require each applicant for amnesty to
make out good case before the district
judge. The committee, at their next meet
ing, will decide whether they shall report
such measure.

ADMISSION OF VIRGINIA,

Bingham's substitute providing for the IN
conditional admission of Virginia by one
hundred and forty three to forty nine. 1t is

The following is Bingham's Bill:

"Whereas the people of Virginia have
adopted Constitution republican in form,
and have in all respects conformed to the re-
quirements of the act entitled AN act to sub
nit the Constitutions of the States of Vir-
ginia, Mississippi, and Texas, TO the votes
of the people thereof, and authorizing them
TO elect State officers end to provide for the
election Of members of Congress; therefore,
"Be 1t Resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives IN Congress assembled,
That the State of Virginia is entitled to rep
resentation in the Congress Of the United
States"
On the 10Th, Monday, the Senate by a
vote of 25 to % laid the Senate Bill for the
admission of Virginia on the table, which
gave some hope for the passage Of Bingham's
substitute by that body, but Mr.. Sumner
raised the point, on an effort being made to
take action on Mr. Bingham's substitute,
that the three readings Of the bill must take
place on three different days, and deferred
the proposed action.
A proposition was made on Tuesday 10
fix an hour on Wednesday for final vote,
but Mr.. Sumner, very grufly said "no time
can be fixed, shall object"
It may possibly pass the Senate in few
days but we shall not then be very exultant.
It will be simple act of justice to Virginia
very tardily done. There will therefore be
nothing to glorfy Congress for and not
great deal to exult over, considering all the
circumstances.
