The report of the subcommittee OF the
House Committee on Banking and Currency
relative to the cause of the failure of the
First National Bank Of Washington, has been
completed. 1t shows that the rumors which
have long been in circulation, to the effect
that the President and officers Of the Cabinet
gave this institution especial advantages, are
utterly without foundation. The report also
shows that the bank would not have failed
except for the over drafts of Jay Cooke &
Company.

AcAd e my of Music.

The audience last night at this favOrite
place of amusement attested its popularity.
From the rising of the curtain until the
close of the performance the interest was
undated throughout. Most Of the visitors
attended to witness the melo-dramatic bur
lesque of Pocahontas, and their pains were
amply repaid by the rendition of the
troupe.
In the title role Miss Alice Harrison excl

compared her to many of the distinguished
artistes who have made the parts celebra-

The rest of the characters filled their
parts with an ability quite unusual in a
stock company and deserve commentator
for their careful study. 1t gives us pleasure
to chronicle that Miss LIE Brun was made
the recipient Of floral testimonial of admi-

A basket of flowers intended for Miss
Friedenberg was not delivered, owing to
the negligence of the band master to whose
care it had been intrusted On Friday

The well-informed New York correspond
EFT of the Mobile Register writes:
All classes of business men still complain
of extreme dullness. OF the causes of the
prevailing depression, of course it is not
necessary to speak. The wholesale season
is now nearly over, aud it has been one of
the poorest ever known in New York.
Naturally the retail trade feels the same de-
preston and drags Oh SO slowly that hardly
a house in the city is paying expenses. It's a
good time for people to stay away from New
York, unless they actually have businesi to
call them here. The crv for work continues
as loud as it was three months ago, and
means to stop it are as difficult to find as
they We're at Christmas.

The Courts.
Fourth District Court.

A decision has been rendered in favor OF
the relatOr in the matter of the State OF Louis
ana ex. rel. Warren w. Shearer, praying Tor
a writ of habeas corpus
The following are the facts: Beadles,
Wood & Co. made an affidavit before JUS
tice of the peace, and on that affidavit obtain
ed a requisition from Gov. Kellogg on the
Governor of Mississippi.
This affidavit charged w. W. Shearer with
obtaining money under false pretense. On
the strength of this he was arrested,
brought here and writ of habeas corpus
was taken out by his counsel The case
being tried before Judge Lynch, he released
the prisoner and pronounced the case one OF
persecution, the relator having previously
been forced into bankruptcy by the above
named firm.
Fifth District Court.
Louis A. MOritz VS.. Louisa Diepert. Ha-
beas Corpus. The fact Of the case are these :
Louis A. Moritz is the father of the child
Anna Moritz by his first wife. When the
child was but two years of age Moritz
married the woman Louisa Diepert, and
since that time this woman has had the
care Of the child, supporting her and pro-
viding her every want-the man Moritz
being of dissolute character and totally
incapable of taking care of the child. The
woman Louisa Diepert at one time support
ing both the child and man previous to the
divorce obtained "a few months since.
The child Anna has never known any
other mother hut her present step-mother,
and was never conscious of the fact that
she was not the child of the woman in ques-
ton.
But by previous Judgment in another
court, 10y which the tntorship of the child
was originally given to the man Mortz,
Judge Cullom expressed himself as power
less to decide against that Judgment, though
he himself thought the man Moritz, from
the nature of his character, should not have
the child entrusted to his care. The Judge
advised the parties to carry the matter be-
fore Judge Tissot.

we pass the Executive Mansion going to and

is not that Of teetotal Jonadab or Dasha-

his manner to indicate the frightful excuses

Editor Telegraph With the sleighing
of last week, the woodmen of Sheffield
Denmark, &C., have contributed not lit
tie to the growth of our wood piles Our
merchants-A. B. Luce, Geo. Campbell
and E. F. Brown, we notice, are prepared
to take care of the unfortunate ones who
have reason TO apprehend that by the
spring break up, their last stick will have
been committed to the flames.
Last Saturday afternoon, while on the
way from North KingsvIlle, we overlook
a couple of chaps from the South towns,
who evidently had been visiting some
striped-pig establishment, and taken to
much benzine aboard. They were trying
the experiment of driving their teams on
both sides of the road at tue same time
That usually sober and we'll regulated
community, it is TO be feared, is not with
out its snares and pitholes, where the ap-
petites of the depraved find indulgence,
where reputation and happiness are de.
stroyed and families made to mourn, and
this for a few paltry dimes We are 10th
to believe that either in North Kingsville,
or in this village, liquor is to be found for
sale as a beverage, but the evidence of the
presence Of such elements among us, is
hard to question. The reproach, at any
rate, we shall have to bear if these things
are but occasionally to be seen upon our
streets, and there is reason to expect that
the moral sentiment of the community,
thus abused, will not patiently and merk-
ly bear the repetition of such exhibitions,
if there are any means within reach for
the correction of the evil G.

FREE OF POsTAGE.-We have encour-
aged our subscribers TO believe the postage
on local papers in the county where print
ed, would be repealed. All that we have
had of the sentiment of congress on the
subject this session, has given strength to
this opinion, and the manifest Justice of
such provision,s went far to confirm the
belief. Instead of hanperiDg and burden
ing the weekly local papers, they are en-
titled to the fostering care of the country.
There is no defense for the law now in
force imposing a postage tax on paper
distributed in its own county, within from
to 10 miles of its publication Office at the
same rate as daily brought 500 miles
from the city of New York. If the hone
and glory of the country are in the gener-
al diffusion of intelligence, that glory is
due in greater degree to the provincial
press than TO the metropolitan dailies.
Their circulation is much more among the
common people and the sparsply settled
sections OF the country, where rigid econo-
my is a necessity. II there is any point,
therefore, where the fostering of the gov
ernment is due, it is just here. The coun-
ty paper, is the paper identified with its
locality and with the interests and prefer
ances of the people. Beside, their patron
age is necessarily small, and thry are lily
able to be brought into competition with
city weeklies made up from daily forms,
at an equal rate of postage. The fact of
such weeklies. thus made up from matter
that costs nothing for the setting, having
been doubly paid for by use in daily
fUrm, enables the publishers to put them
al merely nominal rate of subscription
Then, II the government gives them an
eqnal chance with the little weeklies. not
withstanding the distance carried in the
mails, il is easy TO see that the people are
tempted by cheapness and unierbidding
TO abandon their own paper, The compe-
tition with a government discrimination
in their favor, becomes an unequal one,
and the county weekles are left to Ian
guish Every consideration of justice and
fairness, demands that the present law
should be repealed, and the people relieved
of postage upon their home county paper.
We are glad 10 see that the rrcommenda.
tion of the P. M. General is in favor of free
circulation. If it is right. as it thus ap-
pears, is it not expedient that the matter
should receive the attention of our repre-
sentaiives in congress At once, and that be-
fore the present quarter closes, the people
will feel that a wrong step has been re-.
traced. The postage upon exchanges,
should also be removed With two bur.
dens upon the country werklies thus re-
moved, metropolitan weeklys will lose
some of the vantage ground now occupied
by them, in waging a war Of competition
upon their lessIpretentious contemporaries.

An ice gorge in the CuYaboga river on
Wednesday morning caused an inundation
of the fats, and threatened to sweep away
oil tanks and storage buildings. By the
precaution of filling the tanks. they were
made to resist the force of the current and
hold their positions. The body OF water,
that extended for miles, became too pow
erful for resistance, and the gorge gave
way, carrying out several scows and any
quantity Of debris.
