The trial spoken of in our last issue between
. white man and a negro, and which was
broken up by a NAB on Farris creek, on
the Sd inst, and subsequently, moved to
this place, was carried back TO the All dis

parties were bound over TO appear before
our next Circuit Court. Some time after
dark one negro was knocked down and sew

everything passed off quietly and the citi-

NATIONAL BANH CURRENCY.
Tho Comptroller Of tho Treasury statoB that 1t
is probable that all tho National Banks which
havo applied for currency must shortly deposit
thoir bonds and obtain their circulation under
tho recent cal1. He believes that the whole
OF tho circulation authorized by tho act Of July
~ 1870, will bo issued bofaro tho meeting OF
Congress, whoreupon he mill make req uiBition
upon tho Eastern banks for tho withdrawal Of
$25, ,00U, 900 Of their currency, to bo distributed
in the Western and Southern states, as provided
by this act. Flo considers the provision in the
law relative to this Withdrawal Us mandatory
upon him and not discretionary, md that the
raquisition upon the Eastern banks will place
tho currency question under that law in such
condition that Congress will tako Immediate nc
tion upon the subject, either bv repeating the
sixth section Of the act, or by passing law an
thorizing tho Issue of additional 52G. .000, 900
for the West and South, as proposed in his last
report.
TIE BOGUS 5000 LEGAL gENDEna.
It seems to bo q well-nettled fact that tho
United States Treasury will call in the entire issue
Of $500 notes which have been 60 successfully
countorfetod. No order to this orect has yet
boon isBued, although It is understood that the
authorities hayo virtually decided that to
stop issuing notes Of this denomination
Of tho presont doaign; and TO- Withdraw and
cancel nB soon as possible all of these notes now
In circulation, is the only way to defeat tho
connterteiters and protect tho Treasury and the
