BANK STOCKHOLDERS IN CONGRESS.

THE MOVEMENT TO CUT THEM OFF FROM VofISG
sON BANK LEGISLATION--THE FIRST TINE A FULL
LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS HAS EVER BEEN MADE.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE Tribune
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Controller OF the
Currency has received the resolution of Mr.. Buckner,
passed by the House on Thursday, regarding stock
holders of National banks. The resolution directs
the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish the House
a complete list Of the and residences of all
shareholders in national banking associations, and
the number of shares held by each on the first Mon
day of July last. This information is required to be-
filed in the office of the Controller OF the Currency
by law, but Mr.. Knox says that it Will require at
least a month to prepare 1t for Congress. The
object of Mr.. Buckner is evident. The present
session of Congress will be overrun with
all sorts Of financial propositions, In which the
National banks will be more less interested and
it Is probable that some direct effort will be made
to abridge their powers and profits. A rule of the
House prohibits any member from voting for any
measure in which he is pocnniarily interested.
There are scores Of members who are stockholders
and officers of National banks, and list OF such be-
fore the House will be of some interest. Ii has
sometimes occurred hitherto III the House, that the
votes Of members on bank legislation have been
withheld but now, for the first time, is 10 be gven
an official list of the stockholders Of 1000 National
banks III the United States.

United States which seems to be what is required to
settle the difficulties The bill in question requires
the amount involved to be not less than $4,000,
anu provides for an inferior Court Of Appeals in
each Of tho nine Judicial Circuirs and confers Cir
cult Court powers on the District COurts-permit-
ting the former transfer to the latter after next
September any on its calendar. The Court OF
Appeals for each Of the nine Circuit Court Districts
is to be composed of the Justice of the Supreme
Court assigned 10 the Circuit, the Circuit Judge
thereof and the several District Judges of the Dis
ricts composing the Circuit The bill provides that
appeals may be taken to this Court from the Circuit
and District Courts, and that the decisions upon
questions Of fact shall he final and conclusive, and
also on all questions of law where the sum involved
is less than $4,000. The Judgment or decision of
the Court, if upon any appeal shall be RENTED to
the Court appealed from TO be enforced.
The bill provides very clearly the necessary ma
chinery for carrying out the reform, and the whole
measure appeals to the public account OF It's
economy. No additional judges are authorized, AMI
the expense of the Courts will be merely nominal,
and it is thought it will relieve the Supreme Court
of half its business without any injury to the adj
ministration of justice. A similar BILL drawn and
presented by the late Judge Ira Harris in 1862 while
he was in the Senate, was passed by that body, but
the confusion of the war and the early adjournment
prevented its consideration in the House.

ALBANY, n. Y. Jan. 10.-The legislative lnvesh
eating Committee of the Canals will hold one more
meeting this week. and take their last batch Of tes
nony. Their report is now nearly made up and will
be submitted to the Legislature within short time
Tho most important feature of the report will be the
embodiment in it of bill in regard TO the Board of
Canal Appraisers and providing for the election OF
Board Of Audit. The present Board of Canal
Appraisers, whom this bill wonld legislate ont of
Office, if it were passed speedily enough, are Thad-
deus c. Davis aud WINS W. smith, " hose terms ex
pire Jan 27, and Charles @. Myers, whose term OK
pires Feb. %. Ii is thought that the Republicans
may adopt this as the shortest method Of getting rid
of Mr.. Davis.
There will also be other acts, one charging the
powers of tho Canal Commissioners over their sub.
srdinatcs, practically curtang somewhat the polit-
cal privileges Of the Canal Board, and increasing the
responsibility MS well the prerogatives of the
Commissioners. There will be another act IN rela-
tion to contracts.
The Governor is now engaged In review OF the
testimony, in the case of Auditor Thayer, with rea-
ton to his official notification to the Senate OF the
suspension of. that officer. 1t is not supposed that
there will lie any paper approaching the dimensions
of messages, inasmuch the law merely requires
the Governor to transmit statement Of the fact
and of his reasons.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-The President, after

the name OF successor to Judge Durcl of the Dis
rict Court Of Louisiana. The successor is 40 only III
name and If Durell had himself chosen the Judge,
there is no doubt lie would have appointed T.. {.
Billings, whose name is now before the Senate for
confirmation. 1t is well known that Billings is but
another name for Durell that he participated in, If
he did not inspire the atters political aud official
iniGuites In Ncw-Oreans, and that he is more dan
gerous than the late incumbent only because he has
more courage and ability. 1t was he who wrote the
notorious midnight order, aud it was lie who stood
behind Durell in all his betrayals of judicial powers.
lie WIS also counsel and coniidant OF Gov.
Kellogg in his iniquities. He is a man OF
ability and fair standing a lawyer He had the
name of being very successful in his cases before
DurelI, which may be explained IN one of two ways,
either that he ADLER than his opponents, or that
he had better understanding with the Judge. ills
nomination is likely to occasion some debate III the
Senate and while it il not good as that OF Parde.
il is much better than would have been that OF

On Friday last the Blue Caps of Austin
played Il game with 4 club from Mason
City and won it, making 80 ta1lics against
81 by their opponents. A former game
by the same parties was won by the Ma
son City boys with apparent ease, and but
few entertained any hope that the issue of
the second contest would be favorable to
Austin, hence surprise at their success
was very general. A comparison of the
two clubs shows that Mason City has the
advantage both in respect to the age of
her boys and to their weight, but it must
be said that in skillful and accurate play.
ing the Blue Caps were not cxcclled, al
though one or two of the boys had very
':bad luck" We think that an easy vic.
tory was expected by one side without
vigorous effort, while on the other there
, was determination 10 win even against
, considerable odds, and 1t is not unlikely
that this feeling had something 10 do in
determining the result Of the game. Pluck
is worth great deal in such a contest and
we notice that those who think themselves
able are the most likely to succeed. Oul
boys are justly proud Of their victory ant
their opponents accept defeat with ra:'
grace. They are fine looking Set of fri
lows and they behaved themselves Will
marked propricty. The third game ma!
settle the contest in their favor.
