National Banks.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 1fG.
The Committee on Banking and Currency
have had for some time under consideration
various propositions to further regulate Nae
tloIal Banks, and have virtually agreed upon
a bill which is substantially the same as that
Of Mr.. Maynard. which was introduced on
the Sth instant. The committee have the
power to report at any time, and will probably
report at an early day and press their measure
to a vote. As the committee are unanimous.
it is supposed that they will be able to pass
their bill through the House, with chance
for it to go through the Senate The bill
makes material improvements ia the present
Banking Act.
In the first sention it removes the restrics
tons in the present law by which banks hay
ing capital Of over one million dollars are
limited in their circulation to eighty, seventy
five and sixty per cent OF such capital. All
banks will, under the new bill, be allowed 4
circulation equal to ninety per cent of the
paid up capital. Section two provides for the
appointment Of receiver to wind up bank
upon application from any characterization
whose judgment is unsahsfed. Section three
provides that when any association has gone
into liquidation, the individual liability OF the
shareholders may be at once enforced by
bill IN equity by any creditor.
As the law now stands this cannot be done
until the receiver has closed his account, and
IN one case this has lasted four or five years.
Section provides for better enforcing the
payment OF assessments by delinquent share
holders, by selling their stock at public auc-
ion. Section ) excludes liability for special
deposits i'll sealed packages or locked boxes,
lnless receipt shall be given by the bank
its liability. There are over sixty
ults now pending against one bank for such
ability Section s requires, under penal
is, OF savings banks and trust companies
'rganized under an act Of Congress all the
eports to the Controller now required Of ma
lonal banks.
This provision is suggested ~ the expert
nee Of the Freedmcus Bank Section 5
rovldes for the appointment Of an agent by .
ne shareholders to wind up the affairs Of the ,
ank after the claims OF outside creditors and {
oteholders shall have been fully provided !
u. Section provides that when the moneys ,
! the hands of receiver are not large =
nough for distribution. the money on hand
hall be invested by the Treasurer in United a
tates bonds 80 as to yield an interest to /
lie creditors &C Cincinnati Euqtirer.

Swell Servants in England.

Says London correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial: Although all hopes OF
recovering the jewels Of Lady Dudley has
vanished-their real value was $50, 600 there
is still good deal Of speculation about their
disappearance, and pretty general belief
that some one of his lordships servants must
have been at least an accomrlice in the trans
action. 1t is difficult to believe that box of
such value intrusted to the care Of servants
could have disappeared in a railway station
from unwilling hands, or that an outside
. thief could have known SO much about the
movements Of the family as to have been on
the spot at the precise moment
However this may be, there is no doubt
that the English nobility have way Of EN-
pioylng servants which offers grand oppor-
tunlties to rogues. In most cases the outside
Of the servants is the chief thing. II the
coachman or footman is good looking in his
livery and Of the required dimensions, his
character is not inquired into. A well known
duke recently advertised for footman of ex-
actly five eleven and half inches in height
whose sole business it would be to stand at
the back OF his coach beside another Of like
stature. A youth, now in the employ of a
Lady OF my acquaintance, applied for the adj
vertlsed position, and says that his character
was not asked for: he was taken into the ser
wants hall and measured and dismissed for

There Is a passion for tallness ia servants,
and of one noble family at least, it is a rule
to admit no man servant under six feet. Thee
are SIX Of these eminent per5onages in their
fine mansion. The English servants are good
looking, neat, and constitutional iunkeys and
tiunkeyess s. They are very shrewd, and
have their class rules as well defined as any
trade union. Downing street does not pos
sess more pigeon holes and red tape than a
mansion Of the wealthy. An upper house
maid would die at the stake before she would

vince of the under house-maid A swell but
Ter would throw up his position in the face of
the Lord Chancellor himself if he were ex-
pected to black his own boots. There
ire many boys Of thirteen kept in brass
buttons, and i'll many instance the sole
iuty Of this boy is to brush the clothes and
boots of the butler, the master Of the house
having his own separate valet. OF course, it
s not pride which has made the inhexible
avs or etiquette among these servants by
which they refuse to step out of an official
groove or function. 1t is the determination
u their class to preserve the ventional
number OF the servants required for any first
lass household. They particularly dislike !;
ervants from other countries, especially the !
iermans because if well paid and well l
reated they will do anything requested of l

A DeacOn'S Dilemma.

Mr.. Smith, of Willoughby, Conn. pious
deacon though he is. failed to enjoy himself at
church, a few Sundays ago. The weather was
warm Tor the season, but the deacon conclu-
ded to wear his overcoat to church, and being
somewhat late IN his shaving, threw on his
coat in hurry on the morning in question.
Arrived at the church the deacon. in his usual
stately way, stalked up the aisle and entered
his pew the one frthest in front Then,
with that CAIN dignity which is his pride the
deacon took off the heavy oyercoat deliber-
atefy and began folding it.
At this luncture, strange to SAY, an audi.
bic litter seemed to ripple over the congrega-
ton, and one small boy to the left snickered
loudly, previous to ducking down to hide his
mlrth under the back of the pew in front of
INN. The deacon trowned at the leyity Of the
people and then turned toward the clergyman
who, to the deacons lnexpressible surprise,
was also smiling. What could possess the peo-
pie the deacon could not understand. and his
mystihcation was increased upon noticing
that they were all looking at him. He glanced
over himself 70 ascertain, if possible, the rea-
son, and then he turned pale
de had simply forgotten 10 put on his other
coat before donnIng his overcoat. and he stood
there looking as pugilistic as Tom Allen. or
the Bendigo boy, before that latter worthy
turned exhorter. The deacon pulled on his
overcoat again and sat down, but somehow
the words Of the minister didn't have their
usual balm for him. The sexton. too, had
heated the church more than usual, and the
temperature under the overcoat was fearful.
The sermon was over at last and the deacon
vent home but he has not been to church
since, and he tells his wife that if there's a
oul gone TO perdition in that family, its all
because she failed to hang his best coat on
he bed post on that fatal Sunday

SOUTHERN AFFAIRS,
From the Cincinnati Gazette.

II IOm lle ClnclLlldll UaZelte.
WASHINGTON, Feb let was expected b,
} the friends of Pinchback in the Senate tina
they would be able to hold the body to a con
sderatlon of the question after its return
from the funeral of Mr.. Hooper. A PROPOSE
ton to do this however developed much less
strength than it was supposed it would com.
mand. There are half a dozen set speeches
already prepared for delivery upon this ques-
ton, and the prospects Of closing the debate
upon it during the present week do not seem
to be fattering, unless it should become evil
dent that Pinchback, upon vote will tail Of
admi ssion.
The Committee on Louisiana Affairs have
again postponed their meeting until to-mor-
row night, as the notes of the testimony are
not ready. 1t is expected that a report will
be agreed upon tomorrow, which will be
unanimous on the part Of the Republican
members. Representative George F. Hoar is
preparing it.
A delegation Of New Orleans Conservatives
arrived here to-day, and have importuned Mr.
Frye with much perslstencv, to again have the
original basis OF compromise submitted by
MIR. Wheeler, remain an open question.
If the subcommittee agree upon a report.
it will be submitted to the full committee on
Thursday, and recommendations will prob.
ably also be presented to the House on that
day.
The caucus bill to regulate elections in the
South, was informally considered to-day. bv
tie Mississippi Investigating Committee, in
whose hands 1t has been placed to report
to the House. 1t has been decided to
withhold its presentation until after report
is made on Louisiana affairs.
One by one the remarks Of members at the
last Republican caucus upon the bill pre-
sented to it are becoming known. When the
habeas corpus section was under discussion,
Gen Garfield said: There are, in nv opinion.
several reasons why this section of the bill
should not become law, and among them
this one: The Presidential election will come
of in about eighteen months, and with power
10 the hands Of the President to suspend the
writ OF habeas corpus, he might re-elect him
self"
Upon this Gen. Shanks said: II am sorry
that the Presidential question has been in
into this caucus. am aware that it
has weakened the action of the Republican
party for some time past; | am aware that it
has reduced our numbers in caucus; | am
aware that it caused US days and nights of
struggle in the House on the Civil Rights bill,
and IN amending the rules to enable Us to do
business in the House by a majority vote but
did hope that the question would not be
Introduced in caucus.
What could the President do to re-elect
himself, even if he had the writ of habeas
corpus in his pocket? The people have not
spoken in favor of a third term and they are
quite competent to manage such questions
nd, at the proper time, to nominate candi-
iates. These operations of individuals for
he Presidency is the bane Of the Republican
'arty. 1t is the hill Of our political misfor-
unes.'
Following this, Mr.. Ward, Of Chicago.
allied out Mr.. Blaine, whose remarks have q
lready been published.

A SOLEMN QUESTION.
u HER s'ArDAL APpENDAGE a PAR1 OF TIE
COW
From the Pa ttersnn G11ar dian

lFrom the Patterson GuardianY
In the Court OF Common Pleas, the case
was heard on appeal from a Justices court. of
George Addy against Charles Spittel, city
pound keeper. Addy's COW was found at
large and driven to the public pound, where
she was detained by the defendant. Addy
brought suit not only for damages for the de-
tentlon, but also for injury TO the COW while
~ the pound. / was claimed by the plaintiff
the COW when found was over the city line in
Manchester township, and therefore the Pat
terson pound-keeper had no lawful authority
for impounding her. This involved a nice
question Of locality. ard a map of the Second
Ward OF the city was produced in court to
SHOW the exact spot where the COW was found
peacefully grazing, when driven off to the
pound.
The matter was still involved in great doubt.
1t appears that the head and horns of the
animal We're clearly in the city of Patterson,
while her rear was turned to and rested in
suburban Manchester. Mr.. keefe, the coun-
sci for plaintiff, contended that as the valuable
part OF the COW was her milk giving apparatus,
and as that was plainly in Manchester town
ship his client was entitled to verdict
against the pound-keeper The perplexed
court hardly took this view Of the m latter, but
remarked that the decision in the case might
depend upon the exact length of the cow
Mr. keete maintained that in such an event
the length Of the tail should be considered in
the measurement, although this was not a
proceeding IN re. The court remarked that
the COW could only be measured to her
launches. The counsel here quoted a case in
Dundreary lst, where the tai was decided
to have wagged the dog. The court thought
that the precedent cited did not tit the case
hand, and reserved its decision until nexe
saturday. In the meantime the COW will be
accurately measured, if not too much drawn
lp by the cold weather, to ascertain her zeal

SPORTS AT THE AMERICAN COURT,
Sartoris, accompanied by several members
of the foreign legations, paid visit recently to
She Washington gymnasium. At this estib-
lishment Charley Collins, the pugilist, better
known as the Cast-Iron Man, who in April
1867, fought George Rookie for $4,000 and the
middleweight championship is the teacher
of boxing. During the visit of Sartoris and
his friends, Collins was teaching pupil. Sir-
toris made remark which rited the pugist
The Cast-Iron Man asked Sartoris " If he
could do any better" Sartoris's friends urged
him to put on the gloves.
Sirtoris then took the gloves and pretended
he did not know how to put them on. The
pugilist smiled, and told his pupils that he
would take the cOnceit out Of his unknown
opponent ] he prelimiuarlcs were quickly
arranged, aud the contest commenced. The
Cast-Iron Nan rushed at his adversary, think
ing to end the contest in one round. SartOris
warded off the sledge-hammer blows of the
pugilist, and returned lett-hander on the
Cast-Iron Mans mouth, drawing the claret,
and then rapidly changing of, delivered
straight right hand blow on the Cast-Iron
Mans nose and knocked him down, much to
the surprise Of the pugilists friends. In the
second round SartoriS had the best of the
sparring, and administered storm Of blows
on the pugi,ts face and fought him down
In the third round the Cist-Iron Man was
again Knocked down, and declined to continue
the contest
Sartoris was borne from the scene amid
loud cheers from his friends. The Cast Iron
Man said that he was sick, but would meet his
unknown opponent again.
A second meeting was arranged and Sar-
tors was again the victor, giving the Cast-Iron
Man sound drubbiDg, and making him
acknowledge that sometimes amateurs are
superior to Professionals. The affair has Gre
ated quite Il sensation and the athletic young
Englishman is the lion of tile day among the

It is said that Sartoris and Baron Bousiere
have undertaken to revive boxing, and that
they are trying to persuade some of the ladies
