A crude summary OIL the salient points
of what would be an official statement.
and yet which outlines the business of the
bank may be briefly given. Its capital is
100000 its surplus is $4,000; its undi-
vided profits are $75,00O-thus, in fact, di-
vested of all technicalities, its capital is
$415, O00-not far from. half u million-a
very respectable capital for q banking in
stitution in an interior town the size of
Staunton.
But if these figures are creditable, what
shall we say of the following Individual
deposits over $3.50 900; government depos-
its about $4,000; loans and discounts
about 100000. These are approximate
figures relative to these items us they APP
pear at the opening of business OH the
morning Of the 18th inst. We had in
tended to reproduce the last official state
ment made by the cashier October last,
but, after all, our purpose would not spec
tally be served by publishing that state
ment in ectenso These figures approxi-
mate very closely they serve to convey
an idea OF the power welded by the bank.
and to this we may add-this power is
welded for the good Of the many ;ls well
as of the few. Its effect is specially felt
by operators i'll wheat, cattle, flour, iron,
coal, &c..-as one Item, we make mention
the. fact that the bank holds accounts
with four large furnaces, one of which has
disbursed through it more than q million
of dollars.
But it is not necessary that we should
enter into further details relative to the
bank and it's business. 1t has thus far
worked out its destiny in Almost acceptable
manner: it has promoted public ana iId.7
vidual good its affairs are managed as lib-
orally as is consistent with sound banking
principles. and it prospers, as it ought.

Kissing the Judge in Court.

A New York Telegram says: An odd
scene OF OSCILLATION picturesquely varied
the monotony OF Jeiferson-Market Police
Court to-day. Colonel Spencer had made
a successful plea before Justice Gardner
for the release OF Mrs. Julia Miller, who
was charged with receiving $4,000 worth
of stolen laces. Mrs. Miller herself was
not present, but was represented by her
cousin, tall lady OF uncertain age, dress
ed in black and wearing glasses. As soon
rs Mrs. Miller had been discharged the tall
lady tried to hug Colonel Spencer, but he
rebuiIed her afectionate gratitude. She
then broke through barricadc OF chairs
and bore down on Judge Gardner. Before
the Judge could scale large safe in cor
ner she had her arms around him and
pressed kiss on his beard where she sup
posed his mouth was. Justice Gardner
faced the courtroom red with bushes, but
with the fire of youth in his eyes.

The Scott Law IN Ohio.

There is singular state OF things in
Ohio. The Republican platform declares
in favor of the SCOTT law, as it is called {;
and yet that law is not known to be consti-
tutional. On the contrary, the highest
court in the State is expected to pass upon
the question of its constitutionality either
this week or next.
The SCOTT law is a liquor-icense law in
effect, so its opponents affirm; but mas
much as the Constitution OF Ohio absolute
ly forbids the licensing OF liquor-dealers,
the friends of the law claim that it is n
mere exercise OF the taxing power which
inheres in the very nature Of every State,
and not at all license law. one of
the thinnest preteXts which were
ever set up in court of justice we win
next MENTION The Constitution, which,
rs we have said, forbids the licensing Of
liuuor-deaers, does nevertheless authorize
the Legislature to pass laws to diminish the
evils growing out of the traffic in liquor.
Now, the friends of the SC0Tf law claim
that it is constitutional under this last
named provision OF the Constitution. That
is TO say, they claim that to make liquor
dealers pay, one class 800 and the other
class 5000, (say,) is to diminish the evils OF
the liquor traffic. This is indeed thin pre-.
text; because as no persons except those
who pay these sums is allowed 10 engage in
that traffic, II is plain that the law is in
effect license-law. We say it is plain
but we ought to have used some other ex'
preston, seeing that this is the very point
which the Court of Appeals of Ohio vii
decide within the next ten days.
Judge HoADLY, who is expected to be
the Democratic candidate for Governor
this year. Is one of the able lawyers who
argued this ease before the Court OF Ap
peals. lie claimed that the SCOTT law was
unconstitutional. The other side (the State
had able lawyers also; but the reports Of
their arguments do NOT impress us as indi
eating that they had much confidence in
either the justice or the success OF theil
efforts.
Why the Legislature has not long acc
given the people chance to vote ont OF
the Constitution the absurd provision for.
bidding the licensing OF the liquor traffic
we cannot imagine. II that were out Of
the way a law like the ScO1T law, including
certain local-option features. would surely
be constitutional.

Mr.. PULITZER, the new editor OF the
New York World, has none OF the preiu-
dices OF q white man. On the contrary,
he commends Governor CAMERON for APP
poipting two negroes trustees OF the public
schools OF Richmond. Upon what ground?
Because "the Constitution of the United
States has made negroes citizens in the
fullest sense OF the word" The World
saws this seriously in the face OF the fact
that neither Governor CLEVELAND, OF
New York, nor Governor PATTIsoN, of
Pennsylvania, nor any other Governor
in the North, Democratic or Republican,
has ever dared 10 insult the people of his
State by such an act as the one the World
endorses. There are twenty thousand
negro voters Ia New York State, and ut
some elections they turn the scale in favor
OF the Republicans; but there is no negro
ever elected or even so much as nominated
in that State for any high Office Of honor or
profit, nor where he will have to supervise
the work OF white men.
But such question as this calls for no
argument. The white man who does not
instinetiycly rally TO the white mans stand
ard cannot be induced to do so BY news
paper articles. Mr.. PULITZER, who has
none OF our Virginia preiudices, will be
glad to learn that every Democratic paper
in this State takes exactly the same posi-
tion as does the Dispatch, and that not one
of Governor CAMERoN's own party friends
outside Of the ofiice-holding class has come
out in letter endorsing his conduct.
We regret that the World has fallen into
such hands. II its Democracy is of the
kind indicated by the article upon which
we are now commenting, the people Of
Virginia will have nothing to do with il.
