BY the Senate Finance Committee. We
hsve, heretofore, given the provisions OF
this Dill in full IN the REGISTER, and
Commented favorsbly upon them; but we
will repeat the principal features Of the
proposed legislation. Mr.. WALLACEs
bill provides that IL lieu Of the 4 per
cent. bonds authorized by act Of July IA,
1870, the Secretary o. the Treasury may
issue SlO0,O0OOO0 coupon bonds of demo
limitations OF S25, $50 and 500, redeem
able IN coin IN sixty years from date,
bearing 4 per cent. interest, payable semi
annually, and exempt from taxstion.
These coupon bonds are to be made pay
able to the order OF persons who shall pay
money for them, and are to be trsnsfera-
be only by assignment. The coupons
are to be payable in United States legal
tender notes, or coin, st the option of the
United States. All National banks are
made money repositories for the pay
nent OF these coupons, and are required
% psy them upon production Of the
bonds to which the coupons had been at
Isched. The bonds are to be sold for coin
or legal tender notes at the rate at which
hey may stand in the market.
We do not understand the reason for
uniting the Issue to one hundred million

sQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY As AP.
Piled TO wHEELiNG.

In the case of the City of Wheeling
sgsins. WILLIAM CAMPBELL and 9TH
ers, decided by the Supreme Court OF
Appeals, Yesterday, we have the princi-
pie affirmed that person may acquire a
good title to property belonging to a
municipal corporation, by occupying /! 8
suffl cent length of time unmolested. In
other words, that a municipal corpora
ton aud natural person stand upon
common ground, IS to the effect OF the
statute of limitations. The maxim nut-
Iurs tempus occurrtt reg' is restricted to a
sovereign State, and does not apply to
municipal corporation.
The case decided yesterday will be re-
membered by our citizens. An old
frame shsnty used to stand upon the
southeast intersection of Market and
Tenth streets, opposite the upper end OF
the Second ward market house. 1t did
no. stand precisely on tho line OF the
street. but covered twenty-one inches OF
the ground originally dedicated to Tenth
street. After the ole building was torn
away, the city laid claim to the street rs
originally laid out, dedicated aud re-
corded, and sought to prohibit the pro
prie,or OF the lot from sppropriatlng
this twenty-one inches when he
came to erect his new brick
building which has recently
been placed upon the ground.
