FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1874.

A bill was reported to the House of Repre-
seuta,ives yesterday by Mr.. Phelps, which had
been agreed npon by the Banking Committee
to authorize the removal of the Citizens Ma
tioual Bank, at Hagerstown, Nd. to Washing
ton, and the changing OF it's name to Citizens
National Of Washington. The capital OF the
bank is $4,000, chiefly owned by gentleman
named Appleman. The bill also provides for
an Increase of capital to 100000. The failure
of the lst National Bank Of Washington, makes
room, it is believed, for another institution OF
that kind there. Mr.. Merriam, Of New York,
a member of the Banking and Currency Com
mittee, opposed the bill. He argued that a
great injustice is done by the Government IN
failing to tax personal property in the, District
of Columbia, and read a speech ne had pre-
pared on the subject He said it was an out
rage that poor man who owned hovel might
be taxed out of existence, while banker was
exempt from any tax whatever, and ne should
oppose the establishment Of any more financial
institutions there until this wrong is remedled.
The matter went over until next Tuesday.

HoUsEKEEpERs will be sorry to hear that
the Price of coffee is likely to advance, and
that even the present unusually high figures
will probably be increased. The cause is a short
crop in the two chief coffee producing countries
-Brazi! and the East Indies. Importers often
try to Invent reasons for he fai ure Of prospec-
tive crops, hoping hereby to frighten buyers
into paying better prices, but this time the
scare appears to have foundation in fact
Rio or Brazil coffee, which is the mainstay Of
the coffee trade, is in shurt stock, the whole
amount 10 the United States being less by
about 10000 bags than at the corresponding
time last year. This is not of itself significant
when we consider that the yearly Import ex-
cecds one million bags Of Rio coffee, but it is
plain that even with the average stock OF hand
deficient supply for the coming season must
cause considerable advances in the prices. Ad-
vices from the producing districts are uufavor-
able, and it is predicted that the recel pts this
year will be unusually scaut.-Bah. Am.

erence 10 the proposed reduction Of the army

it would be unwise to make any reduction. An
he gave the following as the reason for so think

South against the general government, and it
would be difficult for the civil authority to exc.
cure the laws in some portions of the South if
not for the presence of the military" We had
supposed that tits thing Of making capital out
Of alleged Southern dissfectioD was cou6ned 10

almost abandoned it. The officers Of the army

peace reigns throughout the country, it is

ing his power abridged. Rich. Wing.
