As tho attempt Of the national banks

hpa.ss ii to be renewed this winter. il
vii be well Tor the people to bear in
mind that William II. Vanderbilt is
about to establish national hank for the
purpose Of still further drawing the
wealth Of the country away from the
people.
Mr.. Vanderbilt owns $50, 900. 900 Of
bonds.
These he may deposit in the treasury,
where they will no safer from lire aud
thieves than they would bo III any
private place Mhere hs could put them !:
and although liz Will continue 10 draw
interest from the Gaycrnment-from the
toll anl sweat of the paopie-to tho
amount Of $1,000, 900 every year. he will
receive, immediately upon so depositing
the bonds, and As tree gilt from the
Government, 80 per cent. Of the market
value vi the bolls III natioaal-bank notes
which derive their sole value from the
stamp of the Gosernlnent-the credit q
the people.
The market value of these bonds ID
about Ill, making the maket value oi

Therefore, Mr.. Vanderbilt will receive
back rs 4 FREQ gift from the Government,
In Government money, with Which h1
can buy labor, land and products from
one ocean to the othar, 81 300, 600 moro
than the face OF his bonds, and many
millions moro than tho Government
originally received for them, without
relinqnishing cent of his property in
the principal or the fraction Of cent Of
the yearly interest.
The Government. in effect, will havo
pnid 1900, 600 moro than it owes Mr..
Vanderbilt, and yet it wilt continue,
year by year, to pay him ~, 600, 900 an
nunlly as interest.
And what will Mr.. Vanderbilt give in
returnf
Nothing, absolutely nothing, except
! per cent. on the notes he receives from
the Government "A tax upon him
amounting to 8513, 900. Dodncting this
from his yearly interest Of $4,000, 900,
and he will still receive 81, ,487, 900 net
interest on debt which has actually
been discharged by the Government by
the payment Of 300. 900 moro than
its face.
What Mr.. vanderhuilt can do Will,
his $50, ,OOO, 900 Of bonds and what no In
tends to do in the organization Of tho
bank Of which Postmaster General james
10 to be the President, two thousand ma
tional banks in the United Stats aro
doing to-day with $3.50, 900, 900 Of bonds.
In other words, the drain made by ma
tional banks from the purse Of the reo-
plo when Mr.. Vanderbilt comes into
the pool, will only be fraction moro
than IL il now.
i il any wonder that the banks are
anxious to refund the debt into Atty
year bonds, knowing as they do that
this dram must soon end If tho bonds
are paid of?
u il any wonder that their agents
dght with al their might to prevent the
application Of $3.50, ,0OO, 900 OF money
now lying idle in the treasury vaults
TO the payment Of the national debt?
Will tho taxpayers-the real tax
payers, the producers and consumers oi

of this gigantic steal done in the name Of
law and "honest finance2 Or will

Col. E. A. L. Roberts's Will.

The Titusville Petroleum World of last
Wednesday says: "Of course it is un-
4 derstood in this city that owing to. GER
tain circumstance which need not now be
enlarged upon separation took place be-
tween Col. e. A. l.. Roberts and his wife
and that proceedings in divorce had be-
gun in the courts Of this comfy by the
latter for legal separation and main
tenance for herself and her children-two
daughters aged and 10 years respective
ship was dated October II, 1877, few
months after the separation referred to,
and reflects the feelings entertained at
that time towards his family. We have
not been allowed to see a copy Of the
will, but we are informed BY gentleman
who has read it, that he bcqueaths all his
real estate to his nephews and nieces, and
except few trifiing bequests, all the rest
of his property to his nephew, Owen M.
Roberts, of Bradford.
During the past few months his broth
wiser, Mr.. Winship, both labored with
him to modify his will so as to provide
for his children. In his correspondence
with Mr. Winship few days before his
death, he instructed that gentleman to
prepare a codicil in accordance with these
views, but he did not live to execute it.
thaca bn inf tn1
have come together, and in praisewor-
thy spirit, have mutually agreed that the
will shall be modified SO far as the be-
quest to Mr.. Owen M. Roberts is con-
cerned, and that instead of contest in
the courts to break the will, in the inter-
est Of justice to the little daughters of
the deceased, Mr. Owen Roberts, con-
sented to share the estate equally with
these children, share and share alike
This conclusion, it is believed, is salts
factory to all the parties interested, and
the necessary papers will be filed in the
Orphans Court, at Meadville, to carry
out the terms Of this agreement
In this arrangement, and in all of the
negotiations which have led to it, Mr..
Owen Roberts has been represented by
Jas. Winship Esq, of Buffalo, and the
daughters of Col. Roberts, by their Guar
dian, Hon. Hugh Young, of Wellsboro,
Pa, who have been in this city for some
days past. 1t is understood that the
widow Of the deceased elects to retain
her dover interests under the laws of
this Commonwealth; and that Mr.. Owen
Roberts will administer the estate as ex-
ecutor, under the advice and supervision
Of Mr., Winship.
Col. Roberts was reputed to be one OF
the wealthiest meu in the State. He had
for some years before his, death derived a
large revenue from the royalty on his
patents of torpedoes used in oil wells.
