National Savings System.

The only noteworthy piece of legsla-
ton in the last congress was the certiti-
cate act. That statute provides for a
national savings system, and one which
may be, and doubtless will be. extend
ed to every city and large town in the
country. All the savings banks in the
land combined do not facilitate and in
vite deposits as much as this system
does. In other words, ii every savings
bank were to 90 out of business, and
the economical poor to rely exclusively
upon these certificates for savings, there
would be no restriction upon nor him
drance to savings.
The act does not go into details, but
wisely left all that to the secretary of
the treasury. He has matured and
promulgated his plan. 1t will go into
effect the first day of April next. The
bill became law February 2G Each
certificate will be of the denomination
of $40, and bear interest at the rate OF
4 per cent. per annum; that is ! cent
for nine days; 10 cents for three months
and 40 cents II year. They will be
dated April /, 1879 The interest from
that date until the day Of sale, whatever
that may be, will be added to the value.
These certificates will be for sale not
only by the treasury and sub.trea.uries,
but by any and every national bank
which has the good sense to comply
with section 5,153 of the revised statutes
of the United States. This section reads
as follows:
All national banking associations, de-
sienatcd for that purpose by the secre-
tary of the treasury, shall he deposita-
ries OF public money, except receipts
from customs, under such regulations
rs may be prescribed by the secretary;
ana they may also be employed as
financial agents of the government; and
they shall perform all such reasonable
duties, as depositaries of public moneys
and financial agents of the government,
rs may be required of them. The Sec
rotary of the treasury shall require the
associations thus designated to give sat
isiactory security, by the deposit of
United States bonds and otherwise, for
the safe keeping and prompt payment
Of the public moneys deposited with
them, and for the faithful performance
OF their duties us financial agents of the
government. And every association so
designated as receiver or depositary of
the public money shall take and receive
at par all of the national currency bills,
by whatever association issue, which
have been paid into the government for
internal revenue, or for loans or stocks.
The secretary of the treasury says,
i'll n circular just issued on this subject,
that the money received by depository
"banks for such certificates will remain
ION deposit with said banks, subject to
"order Of the treasurer Of the United
Estates, and calls for the redemption of
"bonds will issue from time to time as
"the secretary may direct" The bank
would thus have the interest of the
money for an indefinite length Of time,
which ought to be sufficient advantage
to induce national banks to enter heart
lily into the facilitatiOn of this system of

THE REPUBLICAN, FiASC0.

Monday last, was the day fixed for
Taylor i,eattie and Sone others of that
iik to address q Republican meeting
in this Town. None OF the patty came
to time, and When the day WAS IA,
spent, it became manifest that as a
Republican, demo nstration it was a
failure
Several of our candidates who were
about the Court House, near where the
meeting was to have been beld, were
called upon and made short addresses.
After repeated calls Judge Blackman
came forward and made a brief adj
dress, in which he discussed the bad
faith manifested by certain would-be
leaders, in eounseling Reputation of
the work of their Convention of a week
ago. He very felicitously pointed
out the harmony and kindly feelings
which now prevailed between the
races, and demonstrated the fatal and
serious effects such a course wouid ex-
ercise in convincing the public mind
that they were not worthy of that high
confidence, which they now enjoyed,
and that years would elapse ere they
would be able to repair the evil effects
produced by such policy.
Calls were made for E. G. Hunter
and Major Watts. both of whom took
the stand and made short and appro-
pirate speeches.
The Major, humorously suggested
that as there was not particle of
doubt that he would be the next Clerk
of the Court, he anticipated with very
material pleasure the calls which
would be made upon him 10 that Ca
pacity, to obtain his indispensable
