We learn from the Menasha Press
''thar last week the National Bank of
Menasha surrendered its charter, wound
up its business as a National Bank,
and is now the Bank of Menasha, only
that and nothing more. The reason
for this step, as given by Henry Hew-
lit, Jr., cashier of the bank, is the an
just discrimination made against the
bank in the matter of assessments.
The capital stock Of the bank was $50,
900 and it was assessed at SIS, 900.
In view Of the assessments of other
business institutions the directors
claimed that their interest were placed
in jeopardy and that their only safety
lay in surrender of their charter
The Khedive, having made the
necessary repairs, again puts his ship
of state before the wind. Under the
new regime there will be a council of
state with anatsye president Europe
is to be heard through two vice-p resi-
dents and five members, and these will
be offset by five native members and
two native lawyers. The English and
French comptrollers, general are not to
be iDterfeared with by the council.
Under this arrangement it is probable
that Egyptian affairs will move more
smoothly, and that the uneasy Khedive
who has caused SO much worry and
petty tribulation to his sublime master,
and to England, will be surrounded
with enough France influence and mod
flied power to keep out Of hot water
The reason for the Grant movement
are thus given by the Indianapolis
journal: First, because the South is
r tied and solid under the lead of
Il men who led in the rebellion and
under all the doctrines which prevail
ed in the South before the rebellion,
except such as are made unconstitu-
tional by the three amendments. Sec
ond, because there is a manifest dis
position on the part of the Democratic
party, led and controlled by solid
South, to resort to measures which are
revolutionary, and which were once
acknowledged as permanently settled
by the arbitrament of the sword.
Third, because there is a growing dis
position to give eqnal credit fer patri-
otism as we'll as valer to the man who
fought to destroy the Union with the
men who fought to maintain it; and
the men who fought to maintain the
Union are disposed to submit this ques-
tion finally to ballot by the renomi-
nation Of Grant to the Presidency.
Fourth, the opposition to Grant has
been false, slanderous and malicious,
and has driven men to his support who
would not have been for him one year
ago.
