The Comptroller of the Currency
lias called for reports showing the con
dition of the national tanks tit tho close
of business on Saturday, January 20.
A. telegram from Washington In
forms us that the Banking and Curren.
cy Commutes of tho House have re
ported against the repeal of the 10 per
cent tax on State bank circulation.
Tho new count of the Florida voto
for electors, mado by the returning
board In compliance with an act of the
legislature, fools up Tllden 24,484
votes, nayes 24,340 from tho face of
the returns.
A. declsslon In the case of tho Gov
ernment ngnlnt the Centennial Board
of finance, Involving the return of $1,
500,00 appropriated by Congress for
tho International Exhibition, was an
nounced In the United States Circuit
Court at Phlladclphta.on Friday. The
decision of Justice Strong was In favor
of tho payment of the stockholders, to
the amount of their subscriptions, be
fore refunding the amount of the ap
propriation by Congrcs. It takes the
ground that tho payment of the sub
scrlptions Is tho returning of bo much
capital, and not the -distribution of
"profits" ns defined In the law making
tho appropriation. Tho case will be
appealed and decided Anally by the
Supreme Court. It Is thought that, un
der this declsslon, about 80 per cent, of
tho subscriptions will bo returned.
Last week our Washington lotter,
mailed Tuesday, reached this office Sat
urday morhlug, this week It has not
put In Its appearance up to time of go
ing to press. Is the letter being "bull-
doied" In the post-ofllco department,
or bow Is It ?

'7 At the close of the year ending

and 127 women, or a total of 311. The

THE NEWS.
A large meeting of citizens was
held In Harrisburg Tuesday evening,
Hon. Francis Jordan presiding, at
which resolutions .were adopted urging
the passage of the bill now pending In
Congress for the settlement of the
Electoral difficulty. Similar resolutions
were adopted at a meeting of citizens
held In Faneull Hall, Boston, at which
Mayor Prince presided.
Tho argument of Senator Conkllng
Tuesday in favor of the Electoral bill
Is said to have been the grandest effort
of his life. Says a correspondent from
Washington: "In the opinion of many
old habitues of the Scnato galleries It
was the greatest speech ever delivered
In the new Senate chamber, and a
Domocratlo (Congressman, who Is an
able lawyer and a cultivated critic, de
clared that in his opinion it was unsur
passed oven by tho memorable argu
ments of Webster and Clay in the old
Senate Chamber."
Vehy Useful io Every One. Is
no other way can a person get back so
large a profit for a very little money, as
to expend It In learning what to do,
when to do It, and how to do It In
other words, to have his brains help his
hands. Here Is one way to do this
Tho small saving or extra production of
less than half a cent a day, or 3 cents a
week, will now procure a large, bcautl
ful, cheap, Journal, for all of 1877,
splendidly Illustrated, with over COO
fine original Engravings, and over a
Thousand Columns of tho very best,
plain, practical, trustworthy Informs
tlon about the every day In-door and
out-dcor work and comfort of every
home, in Country, Tillage, and City.
This Information Is not prepared by
mere scribblers, but by a largo force of
Intelligent working men and women,
whu know what they write about, and
they are assisted by many others, who
furnish Information from their .own
practice and observation. Such a Jour
nal Is tbo American Agriculturist, so
named because started 85 years ago as
a rural Journal, but since greatly en
larged and Improved to suit the dally
wants of etery man, woman and child
In Cily, Country, and Village for the
Farmer and Gardener, the Merchant
and Mechanic, the Professional Man
Indeed, all classes. It is packed full of
useful Information that every one ought
have. Many single Hints and sug
gestions will repay more than a whole
year's cost of the paper. Its original
engraved plans tor oulldlngs and im
provements, with details of cost, etc..
and common-sonse directions, are worth
far more than a majority or the costly
works on architecture. Great care Is
exercised to have overy line In the pa
per reliable. Its constant, persistent,
and full exposure of a multitude of
humbugs and swindles, are alone worth
far more than Its cost, and have saved
to Its readers and to the country mil
lions of dollars that would havo gonu
into tho hands of sharpers, The De
partment lor Housekeepers and Chil
dren are very useful and entertaining.
In short, the American Agriculturist is
full of good things, and ought lo be In
overy house In the land. The circula
tion is bo large that the Publishers can
supply It a little above the cost of the
printing paper or $1.00 a year, sent
post-paid; or four copies $5.40. Take
our advice and send your subscription

Hubbard Bros., have sent us ad
vance sheets of a new work, now in
course of publication by them, entitled :
"The Centennial Exposition, Desert
bed aud Illustrated, being a concise and
grapblo description of this grand
enterprise, commemorative of the First
Centenuary of American Indepen
dence." The work Is printed from new
and clear type on good heavy paper,
and Is profusely Illustrated with por
traits of prominent Centennial niana
gcrs and views of the choicest articles on
exhibition. This work has been carefully
complied from official sources by J. S,
Ingram. Persons desiring territory for
the sale of this Important book should
address. Hubbard Bros., Philadelphia,

Speaking of the Electoral bill the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin remarks
"Two of the Justices will be Republl
cans and two Democrats. To what
party belongs the fifth can not bo sus
pec ted." All tho nine Justices of tho
Supreme Court but the venerable Clif
ford were Republicans aud were ap
pointed by the administrations of Lin
coin and Grant It ought not to be hard
to guess the fifth judicial member of the
electoral committee will also be a He
publican. None of these Itepubllcan
Judges have made any sign of party
change except in the moderate and cor
stitutlonM decisions of the Supreme
Court, but the democrats will accept
them as arbitrators of this dispute with
out regard to their present or past par
ty relations, or their political views,
real or Imaginary. If tee country can
not trust this tribunal for a fair count
of the honest vctes then no other alter
native remalDg but submission to fraud
or an appeal to arms. HarrUburg l'a-

After an all night session of the
U, S. Senate on Wednesday, the Elec
toral bill, at an early hour Thursday
morning, was put to a vote on Its final
passage, with the followlug gratifying
result : For tho bill, 47 ; against It, 17.
