Mr. William Matthew, of Hillsboro', who
has ably and efficiently represented Loudoun
county 10 the Legislature for several sessious
was admitted to the bar of that county, as an
attorney. last Monday. Judging from his en-
ergy and perseverance, and the excellent fouu
datioo which they have to work upon, he will
doubtless soon take prominent position at the
Loudoun bar. The Lnesburg Mirror says !:
"Mr. Matthew is gentleman of high charac-
ter, a thoroughly practical business man, and
endorsed, We understand, by Judges Staples
I'D Keith, as baviug passed we'll, through
his examination 10 law. We also learn that it
is his intention, as soon as practicable, to take
up his residence al the county seal"
MIR. Matthew, by his course in the Legisla-
turc, made himself many friends throughout
the State, and inspired hopes of his future
political success which, We doubt not, will be
fully realized.

The committee OF bankers who were before
the Committee of Ways aod Meaus OF the
House OF Representatives, Wednesday, urging
dimnution of the tax on capital aud deposits,
presented paper stating that the taxation OF
war times is still imposed on the banks, while
taxation Oh ali other business was removed years
ago. The banks, they said, are feeling the
burden OF taxation heavily, on account OF the
several reasons OF the panic Of 1873, the pros
tratou Of business, the shriukage of values of
stocks, of goods and of almost all kinds of prop
er,y; the large number of failures all over the
country, entailing heavy losses upoa the banks,
and the great loss of interest by the banks 10
being compelled to keep twenty-five per CT. OF
all deposits locked up without interest. They
also stated that if their suggestions were adopt
ed the banks would still pay S3,00O,OOO tax Oh
their circulation, and that banking was such an
improbable business now that six hundred
banks had closed or were winding up their
business
