We had the pleasure yesterday of
meeting Judge J. F. Mcclellan, who in
formed us that he had perfected arrange
ments for moving his family from Marian
ma to this city, and that after this week
he and they will be veritable Pensaco-
lians. This is good news, for beyond the
desirable addition of Judge Mcclellan
and family to our social circles, Pensacola
will again have a resident Judge, which
will greatly facilitate the transacting OF

proved q satisfactory one, or reAssuriDg,
and Mr.. Manning has already wearied Of
the irksome duties of his place. Moro than
that, he feels that il he shall continue t.
perform these duties he will expose himself
to the very serious danger of . recurrence
of the attack which mas once brought him

National Banking system.

The annual report Of William L. Tren-
holm, comptoller of tho currency, contains
suggestions for tho amendment of tho
instances, including tho contingent liability
Of shareholders, requirements as to reserve,
tho limit on loans to individuals. moro
thorough examination of banks and their
protection against unequal state taxation
The specific character Of these suggestions
is withheld for tho present. Thirty five
hundred and eighty national banks have
operation. OF these 1,7Q have been
organized during tho past year. Twenty.
four banks went into voluntary liquidation
during the year, one ceased to exist by OK
piration of charter and eight failed. Since
the beginning of tho system in 1868 only 112
national banks have failed. OF these thirty
six have paid their creditors in full, and
twenty have paid interest besides, fifteen in
full and five in part. Over go per cent. of
all national bank stocks is held by residents
of the state in which the bank is located,
more than 81 per cent Is held by natura!
persons, and 96 per cent. OF the number OF
shareholders are natural persons. The
total number of shareholders is 223,0 900; and
the total number Of shares over 100000.
The effect Of the reduction of tho public
debt and the high premium on bonds upon
tho volume of national bank circulation Ii
very fully illustrated in the report. The
contraction in national bank circulation
during the year exceeds $56, COX, GOO. Besides
the usual tables showing the condition OF
national banks at various dates, tho report
this year contains an abstract which
specifies each one of their. resources and
liabilities. The banks in the several states,
reserve cities and territories, have their
condition stated separately. A large diar
gram exhibiting tho main features OF the
national blanking system and their varia-
tions during the past twenty-on years
accompanies the report. From this, It ap-
pears that the aggregate deposits in the
banks have increased from $522,OO.OO IN
January, 1886, to 81, ia, ,00O, 900 in October,
1886, while loans and discounts have risen
from s., ,OOO, 900 to 81, ,443 O0O. 900. The specie
held by the national banks in 1866 was $l9,-
600, 600; in October. 1875, it was only $S,OO,-
O0O. while in July, 1885, it was 81, ,OOO. GOO,
and is now S1j6,OOO,0O. Mr.. Trenholm
declines to say whether his report contains
any specific recommendations in regard to
modification Of the law making United
States bonds the basis of the national
currency, but it is understood at the depart
ment that he has presented q strong array
Of facts and figures showing how valuable
the system has become to the entire country,
and how important it is that it should be
made adaptable to the needs OF communities
in the West and South, where vast natural
resources await development by The aid OF
outside capital
