The Hew Liquor Law.
We publish to-day the Liquor Bill, as
passed by both branches of the Legion
turc. All future licenses will have to be
granted uTdcr it.
The Ilarrisburg correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American shows by
figures taken from official documents.thal
the original cost of the North Branch Ca
nl. 73 miles, was S1.59S.370. and that
-j j --- - j i i
its present cost to the State is $3,080,674
after deducting original cost and revenue,
and adding annual expenditures and in
tcrect. The west Branch Canal, 76 miles,
original! v cost the State SI. 832,583, and
- - O ...
now stands at 0,057,070 ! after deduc
ting annual revenue and original cost.
No wonder that the people are in favor
of having the public works sold. They
have been a drain upon the Treasury ev
er since their cxi-tence, and never will
pay uuder the management of our State
government.

Passige of the Bill to sell the State
Canals.
The bill providing for the sale of the
State Canals, has at last passsd the Sen
ate, with two slight amendments, which,
we have no doubt, will be concurred in
by the House. Wo may, therefore, an
nounce to our numerous readers, that jus
tice and right have at last triumphed o-
ver a horde of hungry office-holders and
State robbors, who have lived so long on
the money of the tax-payers of this Com
monwealth, that they have become aro
gant and insolent to all who do not ap
pear before them in broad-cloth, and live
sumptuously on the fat of the land
but their occupation is now gone, and
they will have to work a little a thing
that will appear new and novel to them.
jjui lew important bills now remain
to be acted upon, and the session will
li . i tit
draw to a close. The bills to abolish th
Jioarn ot Uanal Commissioners, and to
suspend the several appropriations made
in the Appropriation bill for the Public
Works, in case the Canals are sold, will
now come up before the house, and there
as th'TC can be no objection to their pas
sage, we expect that thry will pass both
Houses without delay.
Since the above was in type, the House
has concurred in the amendments and the
bill, therefore, only awaits the signature
of the Goveror to become a law. Daily

A Ifew Cnunterfeit.
A new and dangerous counterfeit was
sprung upon the comxeuuity ou Saturday,
and numerous shopkeepers were victim

will no doubt be made. It is well execu
ted,, and purports to be a two-dollar note

The Lancaster Bank.
The renort of the Commissioners ap
pointed to investigate the affairs of tire
Lancaster .bank, ana iuu causes nuiuu
led to its failure, states that ot the notes
in circulation at the date of the failure,
S460 024 have leen received by tho Bank
in pavment ot debts to tier, leaving sun
outstanding 8040,032, from which is to
be deducted SH9fi,910 redeemed at the
Girard Bank. Tho capital of this Bank
wan probatly impaired before 1S49. The
minutes of the Board of Directors show,
that in 1845, a short time after the dec
laration of a full dividend the intrinsic
value of the stock was declared to be five
dollars per share less than its par value
of 850, and on the 3d of the following
November the eaojc operation took place,
and the reduction was granted to stock
holders who had given their notes at the
time of a distribution of stock among
-tockholdcrs in 1844. One-third of the
capital was thus lost, and the loss proba
bly concealed in the amount of paper re
puted as discounted.
Assuming that the capital was unite
nil I red in 1851. the fact is stated that
not a dollar scfcms to have been abstrac-
tm without a nominal equivalent. If the
paper and securities ou hand could be
converted into cash at par, the bank would
be solvent. But it is not; the process of
its ruin being equally certain and fatal
as if effected by bold theft, though more
adroit and imperceptible. The means
omnlovrd are thus classified: 1st. The
diicounting of worthless paper by the of
ficers, a practice which commeuced un
der .the former charter, and continued
until near the failure. Fully one-hall
the discounting was done in' this way.
The loss on paper of this character is c
qual to the whole capital of the Bank.
2d. Exchanging good paper and reliable
sofMiririrs for doubtful, depreciated or
worthless paper. 3J. lie-discounts and
sale of its best discounted paper in Phil
adelphia at usurious rates. Other prac
tices aro mentioued. including "numer-
-
ous and large loans to banks and money
dealers at low interest, and in some cases
without interest, merely to increase and
keep at a distance tbc circulation of the
bank."
The Commissioners state that the trus
ted but iulroit officer who really managed
the Institution, constantly succeeded in
obtaining the sauetiou of the Board of
Directors to the mot questionable acts

but the report does not exculpate the Di
rectors from the censure they dessrvc for

The Lakes of Minne.ota.
A correspondent of the Minnesotian
supplies that paper with a table giving
the dimensions of niuety-thrcc lakes in
Minnesota, comprising the larger num
ber of those most knowu. Thousands o!
others of smaller extent aro di-tributcd
over the surface of the couutry, aud a
great many of a mile or two in length
have been omitted for want of a name.
Tbe largest lakes in the State, according
to this table, are Red Lake, in Pembina
county, thirty miles long by twenty wide;
Big Stone Lake, thirty miles long by

Most of the lu-t however, arc from one

these lakes is perfectly pure and sweet,
and they are all of great leaty of 6hore
