CHEAP SUMNER EXcuRsIoNs.-We are o.
the full height OF the excursion season

availing themselves OF the cheap rates Of

ing cares OF business. II is noteworthy
fact that since the centennial cheap excur.
sions have increased in number with every
year, and are becoming more popular and
are better patronized as the liberality OF
the railroads broaden.
In this age OF innumerable railroads and
rapid transit 1t Is not TO be wondered that
the people have q desire to see what a
grand country they live in. They want
TO see If the people OF other sections are
similar to themselves. And why not?
Excursions are means oteducation. The
inhabitants OF one section OF the country
intermingle with those Of another, and il
progression has stamped her imprint any

Travelling, too, enriches ones information
and broadens and liberalizes our In

We have had quite q number Of excnf.
sions 50 far, but there should be more OF
them. They benefit the people, and the
railroads do not go protiiless.. Let them
be cheap, too. A gentleman OF this city,
while In Buffalo few days ago, told Us
that he saw twenty.one car loads Of pleas
ure seekers pass through there, en- route
from Louisville to Niagara Falls, and all for
the sum OF six dollars for the round trip.
This is nearly eQualled in cheapness by
the late excursion from this city TO Chau.

THE BUCKEYE GLASS Works TRoUBLE.-
The INTELLIGENCE Of Yesterday gave an
exclusive account OF the assignment OF the
Buckeye Glass Works Of Martin Ferry
the day before. Ameeting Of the stock
holders was held at the works yesterday
afternoon for tho purpose oil determining
upon the proper course 10 pursue. The
meeting was largely attended, nineteen
twentieths Of the stock being represented
and full and free interchange Of opinion
was had. The status Of affairs Ia about this:
Beside the first mortgage, there Is q second
mortgage OF SIG, 900 which is held by the
Bank OF the Ohio Valley, the Commercial
bank and Simon Horkheimer-all OF this
city-tbe Ohio Valley holding about one
half, and the other two the balance, ID
nearly equal proportion. In addition,
there are two claims against the company
amounting to about $4,000, which are
held by the Exchange Bank OF Martins
Ferry, and Mr.. Henry Helllng, coal mer.

lent for the easy working Of the financial
operations. In the way OF assets, in adj
dition to its realty, there is stock Of ware
on hands valued at S25, 900, and &c. 900 Of
book accounts-all good-thu8 showing
that the concern Is evidently solvent.
What the company needs Is more CAPT.
tai, and the object OF Yesterdays meeting
was to see what could be done in the
way OF providing for this necessity. There
was proposition TO reduce the present
shares one.half and secure an additional
subscription OF $4,000 thus keeping the
nominal capital at its original amount Of
$4,000. For some reason this proposition
did not find favor in the eyes Of q MAORI.
ty OF those present, and the scheme was
abandoned, and the result is that the con.
Germ will probably 60 to sale. Hiram
Smith, Esq, has been appointed assignee,
and will conduct the atfairsof the concern
from this time on. It Is thought that even
in the event Of sale the stockholders will
realize from 80 to 70 cents on the dollar.
From q gentleman connected with the
Exchange Bank OF Martins Ferry we as.
certained that in April last $500 was
loaned TO the works for four months and
q judgment note taken for the same. At
the maturity OF this note no one appeared
to renew 1t or provide. for its payment,
and the bank directed its attorney to levy
on the stock Of goods, which he did. This
attachment was followed by another on
the part OF Mr. Killing for coal furnished
the works, to the amount OF 81 800. And
thus the affairs OF the company were
brought to the climax reached on Monday
last, which resulted in the assignment.

PASSED.

Both Houses of the Virginia leg
islature, on Monday, passed and
sent to the Governor for his approx
al, the bill to re-establish the public
credit, known as the Riddleberger
bill. 1t reduces the principal of the
State debt from $33 100000 to $780,
0O0,0 900, by eliminating the capitaliz-
ed war and reconstruction interest,
and fixes the rate of interest at 3
per cent. The coupons on the new
bonds are not to be receivable for
taxes, nor are the new bonds to be
exempt from taxation. 1t is sup
posed that Governor Holiday will
veto the bill, but if it is allowed to
become a law, it will be submitted
to the people at the November cleo
tien, and if ratified by them land not
until them becomes operative.

TAXATION BY STATES OF
NATIONAL BANKS.

The Supreme Court of the Unit ed
States on Tuesday decided some i'm
portant cases coming up from Ohio,
involving the question of State tax
alton. Real cestate in Ohio is as
sessed at only one-third of its value,
while banks are taxed the full value
of their stock. The law of the State
says that taxation shall be uniform,
and the United States statute says
that banks shall not be taxed higher
than other property. The banks
have resisted this discrimination
and the Supreme Court sustains
them. This question affects nearly
every State in the Union.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court of Michigan
has just decided that the presence of
court bailiff in room during the
consultation of retiring jury there
invalidated the verdict, though moth
ing was said by the officer to the
jurymen-on the ground that the
presence of an officer must operate as
a restraint upon their freedom of
action and expression.
