SPECIAL DEPosrTs.-A Lancaster paper al
luding to the recent robbery of bonds from the
Lancaster bank. says most of them belonged
to deposltors who had placed them there for
safe keeping, and that the loss to the bank it
is thought, will not be more than $17OO, it not
being responsible for the bonds deposited with
it, This responsibility depends very much on
circumstances. On the face of the matter the
bank is undoubtedly liable for every dollar of
money or valuables that ii can be shown it re-
received from its depositors and has not re-
turned or made good in value. Any circum-
stances changing this p'inaa facie responsibility
it behooves the bank to show; if it acknowl-
edges that it has received any amount of valu-
ables, but ought not to be required to return
the same, it should explain why. 1t is no
sufficient answer that valuables are held by
banks without direct money consideration for
the service; and shat, therefore, non-responsi-
bility is to be inferred. There is consideration
generally, in some shape. The banks do not
receive and hold everybody's valuables, but
usually only those of their customers and de-
positors, who requite the obligation in the
profits of their business intercourse with the
bank. The banks holding box deposits ought
to take pay for the service and risk, or not re-
ceive them at all. There is the less excuse for
this accommodation at banks now than for
merly, for there are several companies whose
special purpose it is to safely keep at very low
charge all such deposits. Besides, the Comp
troller OF the Currency has formally called at
tention to this matter, and expressly denied the
right in any national bank to receive and hold
boxes and bundles on deposit. If there is no
responsibility on the part of banks in such
matters, few careful men would be willing to
entrust their valuables to them, especially if
the officer was thought to be SO careless as to
open his vault and safe to all out-of-doors, and
then turn his back on any depredator who
might choose to enter as is reported was the
case On the occasion of this Lancaster bank
robbery. The losses by robberies of boxes be-

SPEAKER BLANE's REFUSAL OF THE
SoOoo BACK SALARY.-In connection with
the groundless little furry about the Compt-
roller overruling the Congressional salary bin
rom I some defect in the language OF the law,
the following incident is worthy OF record
ana preservation: After Mr. Blaine had in
TERMED the word thereafter in the clause
relating to the Speakers salary, it was found
that there was some doubt whether that
would be sufficient to cut off his back pay
for the reason that the law would take effect
as soon as signedand some hours before the
session expired. Taken in connection with
the clause ''including all members OF the
Forty-second Congress-" there was at least
ground for experimenting. that the Speaker
Rad not succeeded in cutting himself off from
the two years. back pay: Hearing OF this
nice point of construction, the Speaker
went to the conference committee and had
the word thereafter" struck out and the
words latter the present Congress inserted,
thus finally and effectually cutting himself
off from ali possibility of the $4,000 which
others would have voted into his pocket if
he had simply remained silent The Phila-
delphia Ledger thinks Speaker Blaine's con-
duct deserves honorable mention"
