NATIONAL BANKS. - Attorney-G General
Brewster has rendered an opinion in rela-
ton to national banks in which he says, in
substance:
"Q) Banks organized under the act OF Feb
ruary 20, 1868, can amend their articles OF asso-
citation. (2l They can amend their articles so as
TO extend their existence for twenty years from
the date Of said act II they are now organized
for a less period (3) When the articles provide
for an increase of capital stock and such increase
Is now fixed by the controller the power of the
bank and OF the controller to increase are ex-
hausted. az An amendment of the articles OF
associations increasing the number of directors
would not be inconsistent with the law. (5) The
present law does not forbid the stockholders of an
expiring association from recognizing under the
old name. (6) There is no obstacle to the change
of a national bank to a state bank, and back
again TO a national"
If these provisions are sustained by the
courts, the approaching expiration of the
twenty-years charters need cause no alarm.

In casting about for point oil new depar-
ture, the democracy in congress have picked
up with warm eulogies the discarded foreign
policy of Mr.. Blaine. They seem anxious
TO pose before the country as the party
which is in favor of maintaining the dignity
and influence of this nation in foreign coun-
tries. If the guileless democracy were ever
guilty of such sinister ends, it might be
surmised that to foment discussions in the
republican ranks is a purpose not entirely
foreign to their endorsement of Mr.. Blaine's
Quixotic schemes. Had the republican
party adopted a policy of intermeddling
with foreign nations, it is quite safe to say
that Call and Pendleton, Hewitt and Whit
horne would have found strong and effective
arguments to support the other side, and it
is quite probable that the great mass OF re-
publicans as well as democrats would have
endorsed their views. In the house debate
on Friday Mr.. Kasson of Iowa effectively and
very adroitly dampened the powder of the
patriotic democracy and broke the force of
their fire by showing up in strong light
the wisdom of the presidents policy in call
ing halt to Mr.. Blaine's adventurous move

Too HAsrY.-The Newport Express has
the following to say of the movement in
favor of Barstow aud Dillingham;:

AT the rate some OF the state papers are try
ing TO hurry things, the delegates should be APP
pointed tomorrow and then instructed TO vote for
Barstow and Dillingham;. 1t would be well at
the same time TO appoint committee to visit
them every day until the convention meets and
remind them OF their instructions. If 1t is already
decided that b. & d. are TO be the nominees,
what's the good OF having convention at all?
While there may be nothing against these men,
the action of certain papers, regarding their nom
ination as foregone conclusion Is, to say the
least, unwise. They need but press the matter a
little further, and make few more unwarranted
assertions, to create a decided opposition where
at present there has been no deliberate choice
made"

Grain Corners.

The most disreputable gambling In
the country is the pernicious and inJu-
rious habit of spectators getting up
corners in grain and in every other
article of food that will admit OF cor
ner. When the price of commodity
is put up by such means every man
or woman who is forced to buy OF that
article at its unnatural price is suffer-
or, in degree, with the dealer who is
technically said to be squeezed by
the rise. "Corners" are to be depre-
Gated, and those who engineer them are
public enemies. But how are they to
be prevented? The New York Legis-
lature is at this time investigating the
subject with view to crushing out
that kind of speculation, and we would
wish them hearty God-speed if there
were any hope that they would sue
coed, but it is hard to see what more
can be done than has been done TO
check the evil. A law cannot be made
to interfere with the right of any per-
son of sound mind and legal age to buy
what he can and to pay what he pleases
for it. He has the same inalienable
right under ordinary circumstances to
purchase all the grain he can as others
have to purchase all the land offered
for sale in the market, Though we
would like to see the necessaries of life
protected from the grain gambler by
legislation, we fail TO see how it can be
effected SO long as the dealers simply
buy, store up and sell.
Fortunately there are certain natural
laws governing trade which will assert
themselves in spite of all the artificial
restrictions which human ingenuity or
human folly can devise. Spectators
will buy cheap and sell dear if they
can aud will regulate their operations
in the market according to the varying
conditions of competition and the law
of supply and demand, no matter what
law may or may not be passed to regu-
late trade. Where there are "bulls"
there are also. bears" and in the ups
and downs which these two classes
give the market, bulls as well rs bears
get crushed. If there is a great de-
mand for breadstuffs, the prices will
rule high, and when there is no great
demand they will rule low, and that is
all there is in it, in spite of all the leg
islation that can be put upon The stat
ute books. Legislatures will 60 on
proposing laws for the correction of all
such abuses, but to enforce these laws
would be as impracticable as it would
be to enforce decree that money shall
be plenty or scarce.

General Swain that the sentence o.
Sergeant Mason is illegal, will meet
with popular favor. The sentence tc
eight ears in the Penittntiary, was
deemed excessive considering the cir,

convicted Mason who would not have

The Ola Southern Lash.

notwithstanding the fact that South

worst OF the battle in debate when they
exhibit heir naughty disdain for an
thing pertaining to honest labor
and manufacturing they sometimes
yet essay to crack the southern whI
over the heads Of northern men. The
latest exhibition Of this Kind of naughty
plantation manners took place last Fri
day. when Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, insulted Senator Miller, OF Ne"
York, while the latter was delivering
a speech On the tariff, in favor OF
American industries. 1t is well

ger style, would neither profit by his
own advantages nor permit others to
do so. Senator Miller frankly owned
that he was manufacturer of paper and
that he was not ashamed Of the bust
ness. The castigation which followed
of the rude Southerner for his inso
lence and lack of good breeding was
richly merited, and Mr.. Miller was
heartily congratulated for what he had
done. 1t would be interesting in this
connection to take a glance backward
and see who this Senator John 7. Nor
gon is, who misrepresents Alabama in
the Senate, for it is well known fact
that if fair elections were held in that
State, Morgan would never have seen
the inside of the Ssnate Chamber as
United States Senator.
John 7. Morgan, the successor of
Spencer, was secessionist of the
Yancey school. He entered the Con-
federate army, where he won no battles
and chiefly distinguished himself as
the commander of conscript camp at
Talladega, where dogs were employed
by his order as the means of capturing
Uni,n men to fill up the rebel ranks
This is the kind of man who cracks

Law.
At the Bristol assizes, in England
the other day, German named Chas
Goas was tried for embezzling money
belonging to his employers, who are
millers and biscuit makers at Bristo
and Newport. The case raised the
question whether the accused was
agent or servant to the prosecutor, and
Lord Coleridge directed the jury to find
a verdict of not guilty. This, however
portion of the jury refused to do, and
they sent to the Judge a message which
he described as the"most extraordinary
which . judge ever received from a
jury" They "wanted to look themsel-
yes at the law" His lordship discharg,
ed the jury, and the prosecution deter
mined not to proceed with the evidence
on other indictments. Goas was then
set at liberty, the judge remarkinP that
there was abundant evidence that he
had misconducted himself and appro
priated his employers money. 1t was,
perhaps, littls hard on the jury, say 3

them for not acting at once on the die

MOVING day is over and as the city
gradually becomes quieted down there
are found to be hundred or two falni-
lies who have not secured houses and
are compelled to board or to move in

demand for houses has had a tendency
to increase the rent rates in many
cases to an exorbitant degree, giving
exacting landlords an opportunity of
increasing rents beyond the ability 10
pay them. A rise of three and four
dollars a month without corresponding
