THE TETTE =AIMEE HELIEF;,
It is really not a matter of the first import-
mice whether the Banks resume in January - or
in April. The great object that
the
Legis
lature should . keep in view is the immediate,
radical reformation of the system, preparatory:
to the deliberate action of t 4 new Legislature;
upon the ,system itself. The Legislature, by de
cided majorities, has decided in fav,Or oY legaliz-1
Ing tampon anon and of giving time., - ,Tho,preient
difference among members is not .as to:the
propriety of this legalization Cu' the principle
of giving time, but ineinti, as to the extent ef i
time to be given. We have not;
the slightest hesitation in saying • that
the great reform which the people mostl
sincerely: expect and, , demand can „bet
secured by passing , the' Senate bill, as;
amended by our highly accomplished ,and : . or 1
thodox Senator, Mr. Bnownz--Ne ',mean. to
fix the date of resumption in April- 7 theu it i
_the duty of the House ',to . agree to;
true "relief" is not the tempOiery:eiXpedient
contained in any bill. These expedients ma
relieve present distress, protect many 'from im
mediate loss, and provide means for `,thi
poor against the inclemencies of the 'comin
winter; but the relief we advocate, and she
insist upon., is based upon thos'e enduring Princi
pies by the neglect of which we have been brought
to the troubles that now beset us. Thistia bee
our attitude from the first. ' '' " f

A. very distinguished laWyer ,of this - ty,

The drat, second, and thirdiSeeliOni Of the,nbir

contract debts for, certain purposes, therein ex
pressed, and few will deny that , such .a powee is
necessary to the maintenance' of our State sous_

without pledgingitzi credit either 'expresilfor lin

be used is good for nothing, or eqUiyalont td no

The ' fourth section is imperfect; and its piny&
sloes incongruous. The Legislature than provide

WHAT THE WHIGS THOUGHT Ole SEDGE
•
It will be remembered, says tha Tedford Gazette, that
thriT9ridorls 4 . 24 is repealed by Oongreas four years
after its establishment. When this repeal wan made,
the oppOiltion of the Democratic party were as violent

Vele • us they are now of thane who voted for the much
abutted Kansaa-Plebrasira bill. Yet the very politicians
who tared and swore so terribly at the passage of the
bill repealing the Tariff of '42, and cursed David Wilmot
so bitterly for lending it his orpport, are now warmly
advocating Mr. Wilmot's claims to the Governorahip of
Pennsylvania. We give below a number of extracts

The Journal of yesterday wee read end approved,
Mr. L tosaou promoted the petition of oltisens of Car

relief to the banks in their present embarrassment;
which was referred to the select committee.
Mr. HARM road in place a bill for the relief of Wil
son K. Potts. Mr. Potts bad been appointed a clerk
of Butler county, the Court of Common Pleas, and Or
phans' Court, for an unexpired term of two months, and
it was unfair that he should he charged the hill US on
his commission and the bill releaeea him from the pay
ment of that Via. The bill was passed through its va
rious stages, and then passed finalLv for the concurrence
of the House. ,
• • .
Mr. JORDAN reported back from the select committee
bill regulating the banks of this Commonwealth;
which wee laid upon the table.
Mr. linowns reported back from the Select • commit
tee a joint resolution relative to the control and re
straint by Congress of the circulation of paper money,
and moved that it ba now considered. The motion was
agreed to.
A message was received from the Moue° that that
body had concurred In certain Senate bills, and bad
passed a resolution providing for the payment of the
expenses of the present extra session of the Legislatule.
Mr. BROWNE said that it might be doubted whether
Congress possessed the power referred to In the measure
he had reported, but It wee certain that there would be
no uniform currency until control of the matter was
vested in some ouch general legislative body as the
Congress of the United States. State Legislatures wore
influenced by local sentiment, and the result was that
their action was various. Congress has the right to es
tablish a general law of bankruptcy. Suppose such a
law were passed, providing that any bank which
should refuge to pay specie for its notes should
at once go Into assignment. In that way Con
gress might have control of the subject; but
the measure might be a harsh one, and there might
be unwillingness to resort to it. Tho Constitution
should be so amended as to vest in Congress power to
control and restrain the circulation of paper money.
The majority of reflective minds favor a more enlarged
basis of metallic currency as the only guard against
bank disastere.
Mr. TAGGART believed that to enlarge the powers of
Congress, and to curtail those of the States, were held
to be characteristics of 'Federalism If so, then the
proposition made its introducer a Federalist.
Me. Seovisto said that the gentleman had exptessed
his opinion of the resolution.
Mr. linowtm thought it very grange that thegentle
man from Northumberland should mate the objection
he bad. The Republican party,to which that gentleman
belonged had contended with great earnestness and de •
termination that tiongrese should have the control of
the domestics affairs of our citizens in the Territories,
Instead of leaving those people to form their own ital.
lotions in their own way. The gentleman's wee the
blacker Federation, and the most indefensible. It ap
peared the gentleman and his party were reconsidering
their recent notion on the subject.
Mr. (item moved the following substitute for the
resolution
That, in Ike fildnion'of the Legislature, this present
anointed embarramment pf the country has resulted
from the operation of the Earfff act el lB4B, and the mo
dification thereof made by the last Congress, whereby
American industry has been stricken down, and gold
and silver of the country has been exported to pay for
those things which should have been manufactured at
home) ,
Mr. Dams desired to know whether Judge Wilmot,
,the Republican candidate for Governor, did not vote for
that very tariff of 1840
Mr. Cosier admitted that Judge Wilmot did vote for
that tariff.
Mr. Waxen then inquired whether Judge Wilmot was
not responsible for .the present embarrassment under
the very terms of the gentleman's resolution? Judge
Wilmot had, at York. denied the' charge that be
was not a Democrat, and of course asserted that he was
as great a free Xrgder now as he was before he had gone
over to the Republicans.
Mr. Gastaw made a Repuldicap stump speech, fol
lowed by Mr. Coffey in the same strain.
The discussion was continued at great length an poli
tics generally, and not with reference to the resolution
particularly.
Motions were made that mien tho Senate adjourns, it
adjourn until this afternoon at three o'clock, until
Monday, at three o'clock P. M., and until Monday, at

PATITIONS.
A number of petitions, relating to the present financial
difficulties, were presented, read, and laid upon the
table.
Mr. Strati moved the following resolution :
Resolved, That When this House 'adjourn, it ad
journ to meet at three o'clock this afternoon.
The resoint.lon was reed twice and adopted.
Mr. KM:WYMAN moved that the House proceed to con
sider Senate bill providing for the resumption of specie
payments by the banks and the relief of debtors; which
was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. LONGlkigil, the Mouse suspended
the role reonizingthe bill to be considered In Committee
of the Mole, end proverb() to eons:vier:lV by sections
in the Mouse.
The first section being before the Mena, '
in lif,4o..suroutt umredjitemend by inserting a,ftor the
anode fn:de" the words since the list day oTire;Fem
ber, A.D. 1867."
The bill as it stood, he said, removed the penalty Im
osed by the sot of '5O, by -which the charter of any
bank was forfeited lilt diecounted without the remalsite
amount of speck+. If tbe,binke, reylous to the time of I
auspension, had thus dieconnfsfl and. brought on the
present state of affairs, the Demmehad pp right to ex
cuse them ; ' they should:suffer the penalty and forfeit
their charter. The banks did not ask it. ,They (lid not
acknowledge that they hod violated, the law previous to
the time of suspension, and his amendment was to
limit the clangs, cawing SUM after the time of their
anspenaion.
Mr KAUFFMAN concurred in the views of the gentle.
man and hoped the amendment would be adopted.
The question wet taken, and the amendment was
agreed to.
Mr. JormeroX, of Bucks, =red to amend by striking
out the words second Monday of April A.D. 1868,"
in the clause suspending the penaltle* incurred by the
banks op to that time, and insert the words third
Monday of January, A. D. lase." his object was to
place the time su f f iciently distant in the future to give
the next Legislature, who could act Intelligibly upon it,
an opportunity of doing so. By 'that time the banks
will prepare astatenu t it Allowing their condition; and
if they deserved fur er relief, and the necessities of
the business cemmtibi jr demanded li, he bad no doubt
but that it would be granted.
Mr. Keurestea moved to amend the amendment by
striking oat "8" in 1858, and inserting fir" so that
it would reed "1869."
Mr. 'Mutat asked the gentleman to modify his amend•
meat by adding " unless (Moravia. elected by the Legis
lature."
Mr. Falun/As so modified his amendment.
Mr. Minute said the banks would base their calcula
tions upon the time granted them; and would go on
transacting their business and making discounts ac
cordingly. - It the time wait only extended to January,
1858, as proposed by the gentleman from Dueits, the
benefit of the relief measure would Inure sue eely to the
banks, who would pot extend thel4basiness or discounts
at all, but would wind "up their Wellness and' prePare
for resamption.: Such a COUVSES.OII the pieta the banks
would utterly ruin and destroy the merchants manu
facturers, and business men of the community. lie
hoped the amendment of the gentlemen from Lancaster;
as modified by Wrong, would,be adopted.
Mr. Itsimmus proposed to extend the *nets 1859,
because such an extension was demended by the interests
of the community which he represented. Lancaster
county was largely engaged in nianufeeturing; she hod
thousands of Rep engaged directlynr,indirectly in menu
, factoring iron, and if relief was not granted in thirty
days, every one of them (Nuld. be thrown out of employ
[ ment, To merely extend the time for three months
would he no relief to them, and they bid better go home
without doing anything than to adopt the amendment
of the gentleman from Ducks. Ile trusted that his
amendment, as incsjided, would receive the sanction of
the House. ,
Mr, LONOAKISR was oppotoe irp affording Vegas' dis
counting privileges to the banlis. elihey pould not now
redeem their notes in circulation andpay theb dem.
sitors, and yet the Legislature was called upon to 'give
them more time to flood the country with their irre
deemable lanes. It, was necessary that the House
should legislate for the hepetit of thedebtors of the
banks, whose liabilities were maw felling due, but, in
doing go, they should fix as short a time as possible, and
let them ell try to work up to it. The nexcLestilature
would assemble in a few months ' and if the System was
working to the alblectlen of the people, and it was
deemed necessary to eaten/ the time, it could then be
done. The difficulties lee ,were Mug under we had
brought onby extravagance in all the pursulte of life,
and legislation should be directed with a jingle eye to
retrenchment,
Mr. Minima *grand with the gentleman from Mont
gomery, (Mr. LODPIEOF,9 that these difficulties bad boon
brought en by over-trading AD§ extravagance, but ho
thought that if the large crops of the West could be got
Into market, they would add greatly to the Wielth of the
country, and restore things to their former footing. He
argued. tbat It was necessary to extend the time at least
to July, In order to grant the business community relief
and give them oppotypejty of enjoying the benefits these
crops would confer. •
Mr, Clatuouu woe in fatrort4 Oieg time within the
power of the next Legislature, w h o could extend it if it
was necessary. Ile hoped-. the aniendments pi/weed
would be yoted down, and that the House would. adopt
the bill as Jlt good. He was in fever of extending the
Hole to March or April, but would not agree to placing
it beyond the seesion gm pat Legislature.
Mr. 7i7151101, of sgetended that it was ne

Provithd, That each and every bank of this Cornmeal.
wealth pay weekly into the city or county treasury, In
which they are respectfully situated, all interest charged
by said banks upon paper discounted or renewed during

lie said it was always customary to put such a proviso
in a bill of this kind, so that all suits now pending
would not be interfered with by the passage of the law.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. Jneosos moved to amend by Inserting after the
word " incurred" the words " or that may hereafter be
incurred before the second Monday of April," stating
that there were now come banks paying specie who
might wish to :suspend and come under the provisions of
the act before 'the thae'explred, and his object was to
afford them this opportunity.
The amendment was agreed te.
Mr. LONGIAGRit mid that he did not wish to occupy
the time of the House in any lengthy remarks, but be
felt that his position was a peculiar one, and desired to
explain the veto he was about to give. Ile was a De
mocrat, and as such might be expected to oppose this
bill ; but the magnitude and importance of the present
legislation rose far higher than party consideration.
As a Democrat, he was opposed to the banking system
as it now existed.
Re hellered that it required radical reform; but there
were other citeemsteneall Willed, demanded their
attention and prompt action. They had been called to
gether to legislate for the people Every one knew
that the country was laboring under a great financial
difficulty, and It was their duty to relieve it so far as
they could. For his part, ho would do all that he could
and cast his vote In favor of the people. Ile was satis•
tied that, nutwithstanding the relief the Legislature
might afford, the community would still continue to
,antler. There wan no act of theirs that could avert
the dreadful consequence' of the store, which wee now
hanging Over the heade pf many who had engaged In
mercantile' and datiuulacturiag pursuits. 'Vey were
now standing Upon the edit° of a precipice, opening to
them the great chum of financial ruin, into whose
depths many matt inevitably be plunged ; but acme, he
,hoped, would bo rescued by the remedies new proposed..
Ile was willing fo make the attempt, and hoped It
would be successful. While the hill, In some of its fee
toren, was objectionable, he was willing to accept It In
a !obit of compromise.
&ATl:ge t ,
Cound'a y sae sti*lbp, t wed fife (fgt.' duty' reatue
the passengers, and 'then attempt sate, perhaps - , a
worthless vessel from sinking. If he Was re-elected a
member to the Rouse, he would do all in his power to
make such reforms in the banking system as might be
deemed advisable. If he erred in hisjadgment to
the remedies now proposed, he would have the proud
consciousness to knew that he had made the attempt,
and if any suffering is alleviated oriwevented, he would
hake tie satlifitetiou of receiving We prayers and bless
ings of a grateful people: 'ln casting his vote, beVoted
now for the'pebple, and wee hereafter to con
demn the banks, and even wiml them from existence.
dlr. Kallafilka said that 'he had been endeavoring to
legislate for the people, and not' for the banks, and he
now declared that Ilia first aection,ll adapted 112 Ire
presebt (drab; Wotild tot Setoff& the 'people lone MU. -
Mr. Mince nuied"td reconsider the vhte by which
the Rouse had added the proviso of Mr. Abrams to he
first section. providing that the banks should redound in
specie all their live-dollar notes. •
The motion wee agreed to, and the question being on
the adoption Al the proviso,
Mr. Yearns said that if enapendon was legalized at
all, it should be done effectually. Re would vote against
the proviso, for the raison that It was unequal and un
just. Some of the banks issued no notes under the
denomination of ten 'dollard, wbilerthe eittalatidu of
others was aimed, entirely in Ilse-doper notes. These
banks would pot "resets any benefit from the suspen
mien, bercuso they would be obliged to redeem all their
circulation, ythi,lat Aro proviso wppid not have any
bearlpg_upou Am other bankli. , ,
Mr. Mecca, and 'br memhers from the country,
also opposed tJ,te mot fhe pia it would
Injure country banks, whose"' circulation was almost
' altogether In notes of the denomination of fire dollar'
The question was taken, and the proviso was not
agreed to.
Mr. Ounce moved. to 'amend by adding the following
I proviso:
Provided, That the State banks shall 'redeeat their
ten-dollar Issues In specie. He offered this to obviate
lhodiSKu).ly *Mel? geMlennirt complained of, and still
afford Louie relief jo the Comthunity. Those - banks
whose circulation was the
in five dollar notes
would cot be run upon, but people would still have some
means of obtaining change. ,

Chtdiert'Liverett Wolff, of the Tenth ward,then read
the following resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Wherras, The Democracy of the Second Congressional
District have assembled here to-night, (upon the one of
the most important contest our State ever heh,cid i ) to
give an expression of their views in reLit}ew to the is
sees involved, audio reiteratOthode frilicipiiis inculcated
by Je ff erson tuntlieksorit therefore, be It
BeSbitiij, That the fond expectations of our citizens,
relied by the elevation of James Buchanan to the high
est post In the gift of a free people, have been more than
realized. The record of his Administration will consti
tute the brightest page of American history, and Penn
sylvanian» in after ages can point with especial pride to
the record that contains the detail of the acts of the
Executive when her favorite son ocepiel the chair of
State.
Resolved, That In 'Wm. V. Packer, of Lycoming
county, the Democracy bare a Gubernatorial candidate
of high chareAter for Integrity and intelligence, of large
experience in Btate affairs, familiar with the workings
of all the departments of theernment (having served es
canal eOrnralealaiter, auditer-genetal, samba and
speaker of the lime of lie proepte,ll Ptdit, and State
senator) end altogether deserting of their most cor
dial and eqtlitielestio support ; his triumphant election
will be the double knell of Black Republicanism, and
ill prove a reliable guarantee against dishonorable
and corrupt legislation, and against the infringement of
the rights and Interests of the people, which have so
shamefully characterized and effectually damned the
present imbecile State Administration.
Resolved, That the enthusiaetic nomination of Jame,
R. Ludlow for Associate Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas was bat a fitting answer to' the unanimous de
mand of ac onsereatlee Dernecrecy ; his eminent legal
attainments, ltia atflot integrity, place him above all
stupidest, and will not only render him an ornament to
the Beech, but a proud example of the workings of that
law that gave to the people the right to select their
Judges from themselves and by thernselven.
Resolved, That In Joseph Crockett, our nominee for
Clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions, we have a =di,
date of whom we have every reason to be proud. An
honest, hard-working mechanic, earning his daily bread
by the sweat of his brow, *Usti private character is
without stain or blemish, he certainly presents a strik
ing contrast to his opponent, who seems to have made
politics a businem To doubt his triumphant election
for one moment would be au insult to the intelligence
of our citizens. The remainder of our county ticket is
composed of gentlemen who are well and favorably
known to the Democracy of Philadelphia.
Resolved, That our Representative ticket is a con
vincing proof of , the primary creed of Democracy; that
while they select the best mon they regard principles as
paramount, and our eitizens nay rest assured that in
the event of their e‘ectiou they will perform their duties
faithfully, hodestly, and intelligently
lion. Woe. It 'Witte To then Introduced, and made
an able and interesting speech, reviewing at length the
course and tergiversations of Mr, Wilmot, and rindi•
eating the policy of the Democratic party.
Dr L. al. Coates, Robert Paletkorp, Esq., Win. Dunn,
Esq., and others followed in excellent addresses, and
the meeting adjourned, with three cheers for the whole
ticket.
Able speechee were then made by R R. Young, Dr
L. M. Coates, and others; atter which the meeting ad
Jounced with cheers for the whole Dernocrstic ticket.

Fredericks. This was an epplication for especial injunc
tion to restrain the respondents, Messrs. Wheatley and
Fredericks, from performing at their Theatre, in Arch
street, the play of "Jack Cade," which the complain
ant, Mr. Forrest, alleges to be his private and exclusive
property. The bill of complainant sets forth in sub
stance that be Is byprofession en actor and performer
of dramatic compositions, commonly called plays; that
some eight or ten years since, ono Robert T. Conrad, of
the city of Philadelphia, Wrote a oertsin play or dra
matic composition, entitled "Jack Cade, or the Kent
ish Rebellion." That the said R. T. Conrad, being the
author and composer of the said play,and entitled him
self and his _assigns to all the rights and privileges
arising from the copyright of the same, sold and
assigned, for a full and valuable consideration,
which was duly paid him, the said play to the
complainant. That under the provisions of an act
of Congress, passed the 18th of ApipAst, 1856, the com
plainant, as sole eviler apt proprietor of Bald play, be
came entitled to the exclusive copyright thereof, and on
the 6th November, 1858, OW a copyright of said play
In the office of the Clerk of the District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Daniel Dougherty, who, with Wm. Ernst, appeared
for the complainant, after stating to the Court the na•
tore of the application, proceeded to say that, in cones
quence of having seen the play of "Jack Cade" under
lined for performance on this (Saturday) evening, the
complainant, Mr. Forrest, a few days since, addressed a
note to Mr. Wheatley, the lessee of the Arch street
Theatre, !informing him that the sitiq play was his (Mr.
Forrest',) sole and eichnive property, qnd that it could
not be performed without his permittion and consent,
and intlmating that, if its performance was proceeded
with, he would apply for legal redress. To this notice,
hfr. Forrest recofved no reply, and having seen, on yes
terday afternoon, the public announcement at the Arch
street Theatre doors, of its being about to bo performed
this (Saturday) evening, he was obliged to come into
court to ask protection.
That having only learned late upon Friday evening of
the respondent's determination to perform the play, the
complainant's bill had been hurriedly prepared, and had
not beenlitiled in consequence, until 11 o'clock to-day.
That under the circumstances of the cam, the notice
given to the respondents was neeessarily emit bit that
Mr. Quillen, their counsel, had kindly waived a longer
notice, and wee now In Court, appearing for them. lie
wouletherefore tisk leave of the Court to read the com
plainantia bill, which contained all the above facts, and
the allldavita annexed.
Mr. Quillen, who appeared for the respondents, said
that his clients had only received notice of these pro-
Ssedinge late upon Friday, and that he had been unable
to prepare an answer to the complainant's bill. Ile
would respectfully ask the Court to grant a continuance
of this case until Monday, to enable him to prepare a
sufficient answer to this bill. Should any injury accrue
to the complainant by this delay, hie clients were amply
able to pay any damages that would be awarded against
himself to the Court

-1 thought so. Dlr. Dougherty said that his client', In.
intermits were Seriously menaced If this performance
were permitted to go on, and asked permission to rani
the bill. Judge Grier—lf these respondents hare no
rights as they claim here let them understand that after
the notice they bare bade! these proceedings, the moat
exemplary damages will be untried against them in a
court of law. You may read the bill.
Mr Dougherty, having tir , it read the act of Congress
of the Ulth August, MO, to relation to copyrights, pro
ceeded to road the bill. and the affidavits of Messrs
Forrast and Maurice. Ile also produced a playbill of
the Arch Street Theatre, of the 10th October, 1/57, an
nouncing to the public that "Jack Cade" would be
performed that evening. Mr. Dougherty then stated In
the court that Mr. Forrest paid Judge Conrad the sum
or one thou./oil dollue for thin play at the time he re
ceived it, besides several tunic of money sabe ericen el y,
That Mr Fort est hail been the male and exclusive per
former of this play, and had never given permission to
any one else to perform it. That the whole public knew
that this play was his property, and Identified hem with
it. That it was not the toes he would sustain by the
performance of thin play by any other person, bat the
Infringement of bin rights is what he complained. tie
would, In conclusion, ask - for a special injunction to re
strain the reepoudents from performing the play of
" Jack Cade."
Mr. Gunton said, iu reply, that the book containing
this play had been given lung since to the world, and
had been published by flutter .l r Co., of this city, in
lahl ; that certainly no injury could result to the pres
tige of Mr. Forrest by any one else performing this
play, which he had adorned by his genius; but if any
pecuniary injuries should arise from its performance,
he had ampleriller in an action for damages. Ile would,
however, state to the Court, that the author of the play
had denied, in a letter to Mr Wheatley . , that the exclu
sive right to the performance of this flay was vested In
any particular person. Mr. (Nihon then read the fol-
lowing letter :
Pititsnittruti, Sept. 28,1857-3 o'clock at night.
andcase, De Silldway in an important murder
denied eves a moment's leisure, I am con-
strained to acknowledge your polite favor ith an ab
rupt brevity for which necessity must plead my pardon
I published 'Jack Cade' some nine or ten years since—
tor I forget the exact date—there is sto copyright but
that taken by the publieher for me. Of course that does
not cover any pea er to restraint its representation. It
is free to nil the tooth,. I have no privilege in regard
to it, nor has any Bring being, and if d' dealred to re
strain its production on the stage, I could not.
But so far from desiring it, (if I had the privilege,)
I should blush to be so illiberal as to withhold It. On
the contrary, If, es you say, it will oblige your patrons
and my friends, they shall be gratified.
It was written In its present shape for Mr. Forrest,
to whose genius it is doubtless indebted for much of its
reputation Its performance by others will revive an
interest in his representation of the past.

THE BANKS
For The Pre 3
I like the bill suggested In your looney-article of ails
day. A bank cannot pay expenses of management and
take risks of mercantile paper for less than two and
half per rent per annum over bond and mortgage inter
est. She met earn somehow a ottani: Clitlll9llBioll of
that amount on her capital daring the twelve months of
the year. That Raines for her, as she takes endorsed
paper, or two names supposed to be good. Merchants,
generally, eon goods for one good name ; and they
cannot do well on less Una two and a half per cent.
guaranty on sales at four months time.
Now, you propose that the banks shall charge openly
the proper price of money, and shall pick out good
payers and endorsers, without regard to balances of their
bank-amounts. This I like.
Another thing Is good in your proposed bill. It Is
by you made the interest of the bank to accommodate
by loans of sixty or seventy-five days on the average.
That 13 healthy banking time. 4 hank under the pro
visions of your bill would nal, exeept from necessity,
cut people down to twenty or thirty days' time, because
loans must be for over thirty days to snow of the pre
mium of half per cent. to be added to the interest. On
the other hand, the shorter the time over thirty days,
the better would It be for the bank. Practically the
time would be sixty to seventy-fire days.
Steadiness of accommodation is the main point for
dealers who get money out of bank on their basisess
paper. Our existing system is one of rkolent changes.
It seems reasonable that small itealree offering paper
of lets than three hundrod dollars in amount, shotthll
have loans at six per cent. par annum, if they eau give
good eecarity. They cannot afford to pay for money like
large men:Units, by whom money moat be bought and
sold, lice merchandise, at its value in considerable lots.

Many imagine that all that is necessary to prevent

State stock collateral With an officer of the State desig
nated for that purpose This kind of security Ls
very reliable when but one or two banks break at one
time, but when a general stampede takes place
among the banks, the security will be found v.ry in
adequate to the end proposed. The Controller et this
State of New York holds, as security for the notes
issued by the banks of that State, about one million and
a half of United States stock, and upwards of twen
ty millions of New York State bonds. Supposing that a

One of our correspondents requests Information as to
the nature and operation of the clearing houses of En
gland and New York. The first clearing house was
established some eighty yearling° in Loudon, and owed
its origin to the ititolliegiepco of paying all liabilities
by the London bankers In gold or silver, or Bank of
England notes. The Ilya% plan adopted for the inter
change of liabilities wan or the most primitive
and unsafe kind. The clerks of the 'cartons bank
ing houses used to perform the operation of ex
changes at the corners of streets and on the top
of a post, afterwards by appointment at pub
lic house, and finally, the principal city bankers
rented a house for the purpose in Lombard street, near
the London post office. This boom was called the
clearing house, To it the bankers daily send alt bills
of exchange which may be due on that day and all checks
that bare been paid in since the clearing of the pre
ceding day; and as every °leering hanker is provided
with a &Mt and a drawer, like a letter boa, marked
with his name, the clerk who brings the securities to
the cleaning house, deposits them in the several draw
ers of the tankers to whom they are addressed or made
payable.
At four o'clock, the drawers are closed on that no
more clocks or hills can be afterwards deposited In them;
and as a means of ascertaining by whom they were put
into the drawer of any tanker,' the name of the firm
depositing them to previously written across each check
or draft. This was the origin of creasing cheeks, now
universally adopted by depositors in bank, as is security
against fraud.
Each clearing banker has a clerk in attendance, who
makes ups private account of the checks and drafts, and
sends them to his principal, to learn whether they are
all to Le honored or not. If none are returned to him
tie coPelletee toot they are all correct.
The clearing-house, by a fiction, makes Itself the
common debtor and the common creditor of all the
bankers It debits each banker with the amounta pay
able by blot to all the others, and credits him with the
amount of all the checks or drafts due to him. The
operation is facilitated and expedited by a simple,
printed form, which occupies a sheet of paper cod
elating of three columns, the left and right-hand columns
being left blank for the debits and credits, and the cen
tre column being printed with the names of the bankers
in alphabetical order.
When the account is mode up, and verified by compar
ison with tho individual accounts of the enteral bank
ers' clerks, the euperintendent or inspector sips the
etatement,tand either receives or pays the Wince of.
each account Of course the gam of the balances to be
received precisely equals the ism of the balances to be
paid, so that the amount received on one handliqui,
dates the amount it bas to pay on the other addthe
dearing-hone is the mere agent or cluinnal by wbieh
the payments pass from one bank to the other. •
The clearing house In New York' is band upon the
same principles as that in London, abort described.
The chief difference is, that bank notes are cleared
as well as checks and Wile pueblo, and the banks
who are parties to the clearUi, Witt on deposit a cer
tain sum in 'peels In the timing home., tuna* tenth of of their capital, `wit which they - liquidete the
