VERDICT AFF1MED.- In the Conrt Of APP
peals. sitting at Richmond, on "Wednesday,
dicision was rendered in the case Of the Bank
OF the Old Dominion, of Alexandria, vs.. Viii
liams, a suit brought in the court below 10 re-
cover the sum Of SOL in gold or its equivalent
in currency for money loaned the defendant 10
the year 1862, and which. when the money be-
came due, payment was rendered IN notes OF
branch of the bank located at Pearlsbury,
which was issued while the State was within
the Confederate lines. The parent bank re-
fused to receive these notes on the ground
that the branch bank had no authority to issue
these notes, and that it was done without the
consent Of the majority of the stockholders. On
the Il .a iu the Circuit court the defendant
produced proof to show that the notes were Is
sued by the branch bank by authority of the
State Legislature, which was then within the
jurisdiction of the Confcderacy, but the Cir
cult court gave 4 verdict in favor Of the plain
tiff, and to this defendant appealed to the SUI
preme Court. The court held that by the
terms Of the charter of the Old Dominion
Bank, their place of business was at Alexan-
dria, that majority of its stockholders, mana
gers, and directors lived in that city and places
north of it. That the branch bank at Pearls
burg was not authorized to make contracts or
bind the parent bank without special nstruc-
tons from the latter; that the branch bank
was not authorized to issue the notes OF the
character of those rendered in payment of the
debt in question, and that no act Of the Legls
latrrc passed during the government of the
Coniederacy would make legal the issuing Of
said notes, and that it was optional with the
parent bank whether they accepted any legis-
ative amendments to their charter. The court
therefore, affirmed the verdict of the court be-
low in favor Of the Old Dominion Bank.

About the first and most important business
g. come before the New York les i>lature is the
proposed new charters for New York city, and
the newspapers all have some words of advice
Scr the law makers in that connection The
frcUhle Is that their recommendations are too
conflicting TO have much weight. Take one
point alone. The Tribune says, s'e'ect a mayor
for two years and forbid his reelection for the
next term" The Worlf has '.little faith in the
one-teTm principle in the city government"
4 he Herald favOrs one term of three or four
wears. The principles which should be en-
bodied in the new charter. in the opinion
of the last named journal, are these -
"a strong central government. all executive au-
tEOTity lodged in one executive head the Mayor
- Chief of the municipal government. should be
chosen for the term OF three or four years anS
Ineligible for reelection: the mDney-yotiny
power should In some way represent the money
paying people; the municipality should pass it,
own taN leyies without reference to the state
legislature; the charter should provide for the
improvement As well as the reform o. the city.
New York should be reconstructed INTO politI-
cal metropolis by the consolidation of the city
ard suburbs into one municipal organization"
'n IL, last point there i considerable uranim-
ify among the newspapers, and the union of New
York city and Brooklyn under one municipal
government has MANY advocates.
