What tlie result of this necVs'Ty action on
the jart of tbe banks wojU1 l, any one po
med of a single Idea recanting financial
matters can easily forfisee. The sudden with
drawal of two hundred or two hundred
and fifty millions of capital now actirely
tmployed in every channel of emer
iti ise and industry throughout the length
and breadth of the land, added to the
temporary retirement of a like amount
of currency, would produc auch a panic, such
a craifh, and inch loes as have never yet been
known in America, and compared with which
the saving to the Governineut resulting from
the greenbaok substitution would be as a drop
in a bucket. Probably one-half of the bustl
ness men of the country are dependont on bank
accommodations or loans for the means to meet
1 heir maturing debts, and continue their busi
ness. They may be solvent enough; but their
own capital is tied up in their business in
machinery or stocks of goods and they de
pend on-the surplus capital owned by the
banks for assistance through the dull times
of the present transition period. Suddenly
discontinue these bank accommodations, and
compel the people to pay the banks all they
we them the result would be a suspension of
payment by thousands of the bust houses in
the country, failure and bankruptcy in every
city and town of the nation, and such a wide
spread prostration of business as we have
never experienced. Hundreds of thousands of
men and women would be thrown out of em
ployment; manufactories would stand idle, and
bitter want, if not starvation itself, would over
take the laborer and his children. It is both
easy and common to say that none but the
"debtor class" would suffer from such a re
vulsion; but four-fifths of the American people
happen to belong to the "class" named, lie
sides, a manufacturer who is largely in debt
may employ a hundred operatives who are
free from debt; would the hundred 'opera
tives be unharmed by the failure of their em
ployer and the closing of his factory f a Where
would their bread come from f The stagnation
in business would in turn cut down the reve
nues of the Government by hundreds of mil
lions, and all this for the purpose of saving an
imaginary ten or fifteen million dollars which
ThaHdeus Stevens and his Democratic friends
think the national banks are taking unjustly
from the peoplel
Finally, even though the process of substi
tuting greenbacks and cancelling the deposited
bonds could be accomplished without serious
injury to the country, which is not true, yet
the ultimate result of the ope ration would be
injurious far beyond the benefit derived; and
in this way: Deprive the banks of their privi
lege of circulation, and at least twelve hundred
of the seventeen hundred now in existence
would wind up business, call in their loans,
and invest their capital in Government securi
ties or in active business enterprises. With
at least two-thirds of the national banks the
circulation is the inducement which led to their
establishment and which alone keeps them in
existence. That taken away, they would make
more money by closing up and investing their
means in untaxed securities; and this would
assuredly be done. In the larger cities the
deposits are the chief Bource of profit, and
there the banks would continue in business
without a circulation, but in the country,-and
particularly throughout the West, there
would be a general closing of banks and a call
ing in of bank capital. Whether this be true
can be ascertained by questioning any bank
oflicer outside the large cities. Many banking
corporations that did not abandon the busi
ness entirely would surrender their national
character and do business as private brokers
and note shavers, charging' rates of interest
which would soon convince borrowers (and
who are not borrowers ?) that the people had
gained nothing by taking away the circulation
of the banks.
There is a common-sense method of settling
this whole matter without doing injury or in
justice to any. Let Congress ascertain, by
careful investigation, what amount of taxation
national banking business can stand, and still
yield a fair return to stockholders; then In
crease taxation to that limit. The moment
taxation becomes so extreme as to compel the
closing of banks, that moment it becomes
hurtful to the country and the people. The
country needs more instead of less banking
capital: and any legislation, which, either by
taking away the privilege of circulation or by
over-taxation, forces the banks to call in their
loans, and enter other fields of enterprise,
thus decreasing bank capital and deranging
business, cannot possibly benefit the people or
relieve the treasury.
There is no antagonism of interests, between
the banks and the people, and we hope to see
none produced, for while incase of conflict the
banks would suffer some, the people would
suffer more. Instead of convulsing trade and
stopping business by wiping out the circula
tion of the banks, let the people compel the
banks to pay for the privilege of issuing notes
by increased taxation. The result is the same
. to the treasury, and far better for the people.
The banks themselves are a thermometer to
tell how high taxation may safely go, for when
it goes too high, the banks will begin to retire
from a business that is over-taxed.

Coach Overturned. As the large coach
belonging to the Continental Hotel was pasbiug
up Walnut street, near Fifth, last evening about
84 o'clock, one of the springs broke, causing the
coach to turn nearly bottom up, tumbling the
passengers, five or six in number, in a promis
cuous heap, whilo the baggage was scattered
over the street. The driver was thrown on
the pavement, but not much injured. One of
the lady passengers had her arm badly. broken,
while several of the male passengers received
(cratches and bruises.
Thb Tark Extension at Faihmount. The
jury selected during the summer on the assess
ment of the damages to the owners of property

adjourned several weeks ago, after nearly all
the witnesses had been examined, and it is
thought a new jury will have to be selected.
At the last session of the Legislature an act was
passed requiring juries.to report at every ses
sion of the Court. This was neglected, aud the
question now arises whether a new jury will
have to be appointed.
Store Robbed, and Recovery of the Goods.
Some time during Wednesday night the store
of Alexander Motfett, No. 674 North Twelfth
street, was entered by boring a back door, and
robbed of a quantity of laces, velvets, and rib
bons. Yesterday all of the goods were re
covered by Detectives Taegart, Levy, and
Trjon, and there is a fair prospect of .trapping
tbe thieves. .
