PASSAGE OF THE ANTI-CHI-
 NFSE BILL.

From Washington we learn that on the 2S,h uit. the house of representa- tives, by a vote of 1jj to 12, passed the Willis bill for the practical eXclu- sion of Chinese from landing in American ports. The substance of the bill is that no master of any vessel shall take on board at sny port of the Chinese Empire, or at any other foreign port, any number eX- oceding fifteen Chinese passengers, male or female, with the intent to bring tlseis to any port of the United States at one voyage. The penalty is fine of ;f0G a;Id may include impris- onment not exceeding six months, and the vessel IS held for the payment of the fine. Masters of rcsscls arc required to report all Chinese passen- Sers on their manifcS,s; ana inform rrs are to receive half the fine. The bill is drawn to take effect on the first oi JHly, lel9.

JAN GOULD's FAILgRE.

The New York Times, in an cdito rial, says that Jay Gould is one of the very few American financiers whose misfortunes will be generally regard cd as public gain; for the founJa. tions of Gould's fortune were laid in the plunder of confiding investors and additions to his wealth have come from loss and disaster of which he was to a great extent the cause This representative ''wrecker' in American enterprise chose to bet heavily against resumption when all the resources of the country were tending 10 accelerate it. He has per sisted in betting that stocks would go down at a time when the surplus capital of the country is pouring into railroad and other investments, with the natural consequence of send ing stocks up. That Gould has been ill tEc language of Wali street, very tightly squeezed" seems to Ge gen, orally admitted; that he is staggering under a load which, ere long, must crush him, is tlIc opinion of several persons who are tolcrably familiar with his affairs. \ permanent rcsto- ration of confidence would certainly be rendered more secure hy the com pulsory retirement from business of Jay Gould.
 The Times local says: Gould's losses arc estimated at S100,000 a week. He is staggering under load of Union Pacific and short on general stocks.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The startling news has been flashed from Paris, under date of January 30tb, that President Mac. Mahon has resigned as president of the French republic. The reason as- signed for his resignation is, that being in disagreement with the min isiry, being hopeless of forming an other cabinet, and unwilling to as sent to measures which he regards as contrary to i good army organization, lie withdraws from power. It is also rumored that Generals Bourbaki, Batalile and Dubarail have resigned. The most likely man for MacMahon's 1 successor during the remainder of the term is NJ. Grevy, President of ;he Chambers, a person of modera- ton, but an infeXible Republican and one of high character.
 France, for many years, has en- jOyed more peace than she has ever experienced before, and, under repub- lican rule, has prospered beyond that of any nation in Europe, but now it seems the restless spirit of the French people is about 10 again burst out in one of their periodical revolu- tions, if some conciliatory measures are not adopted to avert the impend- ing crisis There is common sym pathy between the Fren,h people and Americans, born of the revolu- tion, and We trust the people of that country will never again be cursed by the rulings of a monarch. A few days and we will know whether republican form of government can be successfully continued in Europe or not, or whether the monarchistS will again enslave q powerful and enter prising people.
 Later advices inform us that VI. Grevy has been elected to fill Mac Mahon's position as president of the French republic. There seems to be much satisfaction in consequence. and the excitement has toned down considerably.

Doomed Himself to Eternal Si-
 fence


 lence-
 A pythagorean philosopher has just died in Utica, New York. His name was Hayes Hinman, who doomed himself to eternal silence fifty years ago, and carried out his sentence so far as is known with the exception of two eXclamations which were involuntary and pardonable under the circumstances. He was siXty-siX years of age. When he was lad of sixteen he heard his father swear at some member of the family Shocked at this perversion of speech he made Il solemn vow never to speak another word during his natural life. Thus sclfdoomed to dumbness he lived among his talking fellows for fifty years. During that time he had but two slips of the tongue. Meeting with an accident which bruised his fingers he eiaculated ~Oh!' At an- other time he saw snake creeping over a sleeping child, and said See" These two words were the extent of his uttered vocabulary for fifty years. And so he kept his oath that he would not speak, and consequently not swear at all. His many devices to avoid conversation, under the i'm pulse to speak, with the power be- hind it, made him bundle of cceen- tricities. Yet, with them all, he was q great favoritc in d large circle of friends and acquaintances. Hinman left small fortune of S24,O00 10 q nephew, with the atlmonition: keep your mouth siut-" This recluSe of the tongue was q close student, and kept q diary of his thoughts and sen saiions and experiences during half a century of forced silence. A female Hinman would le a moral and physi cal inpossibiliiy.

THE CAPITAL QyEsTION

It will be sen by reference to our telegraphic dispatches from Prescott, that the question of removing the capital from that town to Phenix, came up before the legislature Mon day. X motion was made to post pon" indefinitely the bill for renewal, and il Was carried, our own delegation voting in the affirmative. This ac- ton settles the capital question for this session of the legislature at least and our lawmakers will continue to assemble at Prescott as heretofore. Our dispatches being necessarily brief on that subject, We are com pelled to defer any comments on this action of the legislature until we re- ceive further and fuller details. As matters now stand it will be useless 10 further agitate question of SO vital importance to Phcnix, and in fact to the greater portion of the Territory, but it will be q source of much qualification to our people tu know by what means this unlocked for result was brought 10 such Ter. imitation.

Under this bill fraudulent voting would be almost impossible. The bill also reduces the time necessary 10 acquire citizenship to six months and makes it incumbent on the cleo tor to have his name on the great register thirty days before election.

TIE Yuma Sentinel of February 1st says: IL is said that the removal Of the capital from Prescott to Phcnix. is to occupy the attention of our Leg. islaturc next week. Yuma county docs not seem to manifest much inter es1 in this matter. Phenix is now, and always will be, more accessible from Yuma than Prescott. On the other hand, any agitation of the question opens the way to so much pernictous legislation that the rejecting people of thls county appear willing to have the matter let alone. Much of the kindly feeling here toaard Prescott las been checked during the past two !e ITS by persistent and unfruthtul Charges made against this people of sectionalism, and of hostility to Pres cou. The feeling aususcd by reading these silly charges is expressed by ihe remark re heard On.such an occasion: D. Prescott! Where is it anyhow - The capital had better be lel alone, though II will be hard on some men of . Prescott tc losc a pct grievance.

The First Ba INKS.
Ry;~1 ro~k,,y


We are generally told in histories 81
banking, az, for instance, in that by Gil
bart, that the first national bank was
that of Venice, founded in the year 1l57,
but l agree with Mr.. Mcleod, that this
institution was not at first, in any sense,
true bank. The State being deeply in
volved in debt, its creditors were formed
into a copartnership; and the debts mads
transferable like our consols. 1t was not
until 1887 that the institution began to
take money on deposit. The deposition
received a credit on the banks books
equal to the actual weight of the bullion
placed there, which the bank under
took to keep intact in its vaultA
and to repay to the depositor at any
time, or to transfer to any one elsa
The earliest real bank was that Of Barco-
Iona, founded in 1401. In this case, thu
city funds were made responsible for any
moneys intrusted to the bank, which mot
only received deposits, but exchanged
money and discounted bills. The Bank
Of Amsterdam was founded in 1909.
The so-called Bank of St. George, a
Genoa, dates back to 1407, but does nos
appear to have done genuine banking
business until 1875. The Bank d
Stockholm, which commenced in 1864,
was the first bank in Europe to issue
bank notes which, until that time, were
totally unknown in the West, although,
as we have seen, they had long been in
use in China.
