National Bank interest.

The once vexed question Of national bank
interest ought TO be clear enough hcnceforth.
In the case OF the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank Of Buffalo VS.. Deering, the Supreme
Court Of The United States brushes away a
whole wilderness of legal cobwebs and
makes the entire matter plain.
/. A national bank In any State may take
the interest allowed by the laws of that
State.
III. If that State has State bank rate the
national bank may take that rate. s'
III. If there ia no State rate, the national
bank may take seven percent and no more.
". Amy rate national bank may take
it may take in advance.
V. Charging greater rate than above
allowed subjects the bank to forfeiture OF
the whole interest charged, but to no other
penalty.
VI. Rcceiving' greater rate than above
allowed renders the bank liable, at any time
within two years from the date of the trans
action, to Il suit by the party paying, for
twice the whole amount of the interest paid,
but no other penalty or suit.
VII. A national Bank may buy, sell OF
| discount bona file bill of exchange, paya
bic at some other place, at the current rate
of sight exchange, in addition to the rate OF
interest above allowed.
1t will thus be seen that State usury laws
are no. applicable to a national bank under
any circumstances, and that State rates o
interest are applicable not by reason of any
inherent force in the State laws prescribing
them, but simply because the national bank
act selects those rates as matter of conve
niencc. The national banks, says the United
States Supreme Court, in effect in the deci
sion we have ref red to is an fundamentally
of the government of the United States nee
essary to the successful operation of tha
government, and by consequence no STATE
can control or regulate the operations of thu
same. The national bank act prescribe'
what interest national bank may take ant
What penalty it shall incur for taking more
and this penalty is the only one to which
such an institution can be made amena

WHERE PASTE IS MADE.--When business
is brisk in New York over 10, 600 barrels Of
paste are consumed in a year. Three paste
factories supply the market. The flour Of
which paste is made is Of a fair quality. 1t
Is ground between rollers, sifted to free IL
from humps or foreign matter and then il is
mixed with water aud boiled by steam The
boiling watts usually hold three barrels.
Pasteboard-box makers consume the most
paste. In busy times one establishment
uses six barrels in dav. But only very
| common paste is used in that business. The
newspaper establishment uses good qualify
of paste. In the mailing department of the
| Sun barrel of paste is used in one week.
| The steam folding machines that fold and
bind pamphlet periodicals, Use II thin, extra
fine paste, specially prepared. Book-bind-
ers, sho, makers and druggists use fine paste.
Papcr-bag makers, paper-box makers, and
bill posters use a bad quality Of paste.
| Paste is also used in the making OF suspen-
ders, rope, twine, carpet, poctct-books and
mailing wrappers, and by printers, label
makers, paper hangers aud inner sole maxi
crs. In paper hanging aud the making of
rope, twinc, carpets, and calicO-sizing, a
weak preparation Of glue made by the paste
makers is used. 1t is expensive because it
| finds little sale.

CARL sCnuRZ.


Mr. Schurz, who voluntarily resigned the
high place which he held in the estimation
Of the people, now occupies a very peculiar
position Whilst condemning Grant he up
holds Grantism and sees 10 Mr.. Hayes the
Republican candidate for President, that
model reformer who is to revolutionize the
present system of government and restore to
US that pure and honest administration of
affairs which prevailed before the war. In
view Of the fact that the men who are work.
ing most vigorously for Mr.. Hayes, are the
ardent supporters of Grant, it is difficult to
understand how this can he true. Nor is
this opinion of Mr.. Schurz shared by the
majority of his countrymen. Both East and
West, those Germans who are men of in
fuence and standing in the community have
repudiated the views of Mr.. Schurz and such
men as ex.Gov. Mueller and Mr.. Pulitzer
have utterly refuted his arguments. 1t is no
longer matter Of doubt that Mr.. Schurz
has lost the high regard of the Germans,
which he undoubtedly once possessed and
eau no longer be considered leader.
Mr.. Schurz when in Congress fought man
fully against corruption in high places and
denounced the rottenness of the Republi-
can party with such vigor and earnestness
that he was turned out of the party, and
yet he now returns to the political society Of
the men who were instrumental in his ex-
pulsion from the Republican fold and sup
ports an exponent of those very abuses
which he formerly condemned. Humilia-
ting indeed is his position, but there is a
worse feature yet 10 be considered. Re-
publicans of the Blaine and Morton stripe
have lost faith in him. Since he entered
into the campaign he has been curbed in his
utterances aud treated with distrust As he
has lost the confidence of the radical Re-
publicans, the Liberals and the Democrats,
he may now actually be considered man
without party. 1t is rare indeed that Il
mad of such merit commits political suicide.
Unless Mr.Schurz joins old Peter Cooper's
greenback party we are at loss to know
exactly what is to become of him. They
need recruits and would doubtless welcome
with open arms an orator of such ability, al
though he may have temporarily lapsed into
ademagogue. r
As leader among men Mr.. Schurz's ca.
reer may be considered ended. As q
brilliant speaker and ingenious theorist he
will always find admirers, but as statesman
he will have few followers, because as a
statesman he has been failure. 1t ia some.
what sad to contemplate such gloomy
ending to promising career.

II Is humorous concern that "greenback'
party, headed as it is by two men so very
unlike as Peter Cooper and Sam Cary Mr..
Cooper is very benevolent old gentlemen
of eighty six, who, having made fortune
in glue may, probably, be relied on to stick
to his nomination. lie possesses no political
strength whatever, personally, and indeed is
little known out Of New York city. Sam
Gary, the Vice Presidential nominee is a
man Of such exceeding popularity in his
own state, that when running for the office OF
Lieut.. Governor, he fel!..some 5000 votes be-
hind his ticket. He will be sure to win OF
course. Mr.. Frank Hughes ought to be
careful Of Mr.. Cooper. Excitement at his
sge is always dangerous

Henry A. Wise died in Richmond, Va,
last week aged 20 years. He was rational to
the end and died calmly. His last words,
as reported by the telegraph, were "My
life has been devoted to virtue and integrity

and what is more and what is easier, new
er robbed rich man." Mr.. Wise was borr

Brazil, membership in the Virginia Consti
tulional Convention of 1850, and the Cover
norship of his native State from 1855 t.
1860. He was also twice Presidential

PAY Your TAX.-Under the new Constitu-
ton of Pennsylvania arr absolute requirement
of every voter twenty-five years Of age is that
he shall have paid State or county tax within
two years of the election at which he shall offer
to vote. Formerly this tax could be p. id even
on election day, and in many places voters were
never challenged on account of nonpayment of
it. But now it must be paid at least thirty days
before the election, so that the only time left to
the voters is between now and Octotcr 9TH.
Those who paid their tax last year are not re-
quired to do so this year TO secure their votes,
but the tax receipts of 1874 are of 10 avail now.

down to a fine point. 1t is sad commen-
tary on our civilization, when two men, can
didates for the highest position in the gift OF
the American people, are charged with "per-
jury" for political effect. Such outrageous
manufacture of political lies by the Organs
of both political parties, is enough to pre-
vent their circulation in the homes of re.
spectacle fstnilies. But then, We presume
thatis what an ''Organ" is for. The one
that can do the tallest lying, is the on,

How to Vanquish the StOmach's TOrmen-

If the Enemy of mankind was permitted
to exert his diabolical ingenuity in the in
vention of new disease, he could scarcely
devise one more worthy of his genius than
dyspepsia. The dyspeptic sufferer is tormen-
ted by symptoms resembling those of almost
every known malady, and is often worried
into monomania by these conflicting and
perplexing manifestations A favori tie
though absurd hallucination of the victim
of chronic indigestion is that he or she has
heart disease. Dyspepsia has often been
pronounced incurable, but experience has
shown that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
vanquish it, together with the constipation
and bilious arrangement which usually ac-
company it. Diseases of the kidneys and
supposed rheumatic pains are also frequent
concomtants of dyspepsia, but they, too,
succumb to the above named invaluable cor
rective. September I'm.

The Harrisburg Patriot talks in this wi

The Harrisburg Patriot talks in this wise.
Should the regular military force prove
sufficient for the subjugation of the south to
Grantism in the approaching presidential
election, there is another resource that can
be readily made available. The Snakes,
Utes and Crow Indians who have been en-
ployed as auxiliaries in the war against the
Sioux are now out of employment. Muster
ed under the orders of United States mar
shals they would be able to strike terror
among the voters in the obnoxious districts.
The young braves would take delight in
such services ,as they would have no foolish
concern about the rights of citizenship, the
Esacredness of the ballot box, and that sort of
thing, for which the average American
soldier is supposed to have some respect.
With what glee would Spotted Tail swoop
down at the head of his warriors upon the
voting places, seize the election officers and
drive of the assembled citizens. They
could be expected to feel none of the shame
and humiliRion of the American soldier in
such service and they would perform it
much more satisfactorily. Negotiations
might be entered into with Sitting Bull,who
doubtless could he persuaded to exchange
his wanderings among the Black Hills for q
campaign on the Savannah. In this way the
Indian war could be closed and the political
problem solved at one blow. We offer the
suggestion to the Hen. Secretary of War.
If adopted, it would save the regular army
from tho disgraceful service that has been
marked for it.
