The Frse Banking Law.
T-hebill establishing a Free Hanking
JLnw in Pennsylvania has passed both
Hou;e?, teen wpproced of by the Govern
or, ana is now a
law.
The following arc the main provisions
and ?affpuards of the, bill.
A certificate stating ti e particulars as
to the bank to be established mu-t be
drawn up, approved by the Attorney
General, pultlir-hed ia the newspapers, rc-eorded-ln
the courts, aud a copy deposit
fd and recorded in the Auditor General's
office.4
The Auditor General ha the notes en
graved and printed. Every note muct
h .i.neil bv hiiu or his clerk, numbered
. j - ,
aod registered, and have stamped on ltj
s cured by the deposit of public stock.
The stock deported mut be either of
this -State, or of the United States, and
the amount of note-! is-ud to the bauk by
the Auditor General to be equal to the
market value of the Etock, less five per
cent., provided that this is never to exceed
ninety-five per cent, of the stock.
Twenty per cent., in speoio mut be
paid in before the bank can begin busi
ness, and it must always keep in its vaults
in specie, twenty per cent, of the amount
of notes issued, as a security additional
to the stock, in the hands of the Auditor
General.
The capital stock cannot be less than
fifty thousand nor more than one million
of dollars. No note less than five dollars
to be issued.
A? soon as a bank t-tops the payment
of specie the Auditor General appoints
three citizens to mke inquiry, and if thej
report the bank is i-u-pended, he is to ap
point a receiver who is to turn all the as
sets into money and pay, firtt the note
bolder; second the depositor.-; third the
Other debts; aud fourth to distribute the
remainder among the stock .holders pro
rain..
The condition of each bank niut be
published monthly in the newspaper-, and
oa-cach semi-annual dividend day a j-tatc-
inent is to bo made on the oath of the
President and Cashier, wjiich is to be sent
to the Auditor General and published,
etting forth minutely the condition of the
bank. Existing hanks may coaio under
this bill.
Defalcation is to be punisucd by im
prisonment in the penitentiary for from
one to ten yeanO
A tax is paTd on dividends to tho State
of from eight to thirty per cent.
The JJcftflesUncn Democrat announcca

obligaliooVandia now out of Jbt;'
Election of County Superintendts.
The third election of Count? Sunerin-I
tendenta will take place, at ihe re.DCC-
live county seats, on 1st Monday in May.
There is no duty of more overhadowing
importance than the one devolved upon
School Directors on thnt occiision, andjof
the manner in which they may perform it,
will vitally affect the school system. J he
law has wiselv conferred this responsible
j 1
duty upon the immediate representative
of the people in the respective di-tncts,
relying upon their intimate knowledge of
the whokings and wauts of the school 1
system, thtir sound judgement, disinteres-
ted motives, and kuowledje of the peroons
who might present themselves for this im-
porta-t office. Thus far, this rcspon-i-
bill t v has generally been met in the right
It-pint, aud in most cases, though not al-
ways, with satisfactory remits.
But there are, doubtless, errors yet to
'be corrected and possible dangers avoid-
ed The opportunity is now p.esented to
aceompitsii noui. iiib omco is now per-
maneutly established, a an indespensa-
ble nccucv in the administration of the
system, and the bet effort should be di
rected to the great work of making it uni
formly efficient aod aoceptable, by the e-
loction of the riht men and the bostnien
to fill it. If this is not done the responsi-
t-iliry rests with the directors, who have
been clothed with the power,
under the
law, to strengthen or weaken
the system
by their voice in convention.
The success arid usefulness of the Coun
ty Superiotendcncy depends, more than
any other office in the Commonwealth,
upon the men who fill it x The greatest
oaro Ehould therefore be taken in the fo
lection. Every oompetcnt and faithful
officer, who is willing to serve, should be
retained; for experience is of great value
in such an office as this, and cannot be
transferred to a suoccssor. Besidos, fi
delity to duty in such an arduous post,
should be rewarded by a continuance ol
nublio confidence and approval. Those
who have proved themselves incompetent
or unfaithful, have no reason to expect
anv further sacrifice of public lute-rests
for their individual benefit. Care should
be taken, however, to discriminate be
tween popular dissatisfaction arising from
a fnithful amplication of the Dowers of the
nflW nnH f.Kftf nrisintr from incanacitv or
iudolence. No man should be elected
whose pat official course, or persoual
nieces, will not bo a sufficient guaranty
I - C J
for the faithful dovotion of his time and
energies to tho full and faithful pcrfor-
monce of all duties of the offiee, accord-
in to the letter and spirit of the law.
Another special dancer should be euarded
against with scrupulous care. It is this:
no man should bo elected who wants
the office as an appendage to any other
interest or pursuit: least of all, one who
would make the duties ot the omce sub-
rrflinnfo in nnv interest or nursuit what-
ever. Exchange.

The Legislature is also against tho Re

Philadelphia Bulletin makes the follow-
ins statement relative to the contest in
that State :
"The fact of the case are as follows:-
Mr. Sprague, the newly elected governor,
never has been identified with the Demo

of this fact. He was nominated by a large
number of Hcpublieans, because of perso -

The Sloop Tragedy, No. 2. .
The murder of Capt. Loetc and his
brother, of Guilford, Conn., on board the
sloop Spray, somewhere between Nor
walk and liarncgat, has been carefully
investigated before. U. S. Commisfioncr
Vrooiu at Jersey City, and tho orimo
seems to be brought home with almost
absolute, certainty, to the Japanese cook,
Jackalow, or Sam Patch as he calls him
self.
Tho father of the Leetes is said to have
had a presentiment of their fate for
month past, and it is reported that on
Sunday when the sad intelligence was just
received in Guilford , upon being asked if
he had heard the news, the old man, who
is about 70 years of ago, looked up and
remarked, "I suppose that Jackalow has
killed mv two boys.
Tho despatch was opened and read,
and his suspicious were found to be con
firmed. He fell back in his chair, bust
iuto a flood of tears, and wrung his hands
in agony. For some time the old gentle
man wa" unable to speak, but finally said,
"I knew it would be so. I knew b
would kill them."
Jackalow is a native of the Great Loo
Choo Island. His proper name is Y
Ma. Accordiug to Spauldin's History
of the Japan Expedition, Ya Ma. escaped
from this Island, on board the U. o. m
aU Susquehanna, at the time of the Ja
pan expedition, having been pursued to
the water by ma vinuicuvo countrymen
After his arrival in this oouutry an at'
tempt was made by some pnuanmropic
eeutlemen to educate him, with a view to
. t"i .j ;
sendinir him hack as a miesionarv. -But
le preferred to follow tbo water; and be
ing expert as a cooir, was engagcu uy
ii
Capt. Leete s kindness by robbing and
murdering both him and his brother.
On Saturday afternoon, A-rs. Leete, the
mother of tho murdered manneors, ac
companied by ber two daughter?, ap
peared before the Commisioner, and i
dentified two coats, and other articles
found in possession of the prisoner; also
the Captain's pass-book and some letters.
Wheu Mrs. Leete and her daughters
entered the court room, the prisoner see
ing tbcui in mourning, burst into tears,
and during the afternoon he continued
with his head bent down between his
knees. After the adjournment he desir
ed an interview with the ladies, but his
counsel declined to give him permission.
Thereupon Jackalow conaeived tho no
tion that his doom was sealed, and that
preparations were being made to hang
hiai, and his spirits became much depress
ed. On Sunday he appeared to be much
perturbed, and asked tbc attending officer
. . r. i:ii rt-
to read a portion oi me uioio ior mm,
which having been done, he acecicd con
siderably relieved.
0OMr. Wigfall, the new Domocratic
Senator iu Congress from Texas, is taking
a leading part in tbo Senatorial debates,
aud may ju?tly be considered an author
ized expounder of the party faith. A
few days siuce he used the following lan
guage in the Senate, m a speech denunci
atory of the Homestead bill :
"These northern people, of all parties,
are a mean, despicable set of starvelings,
unable to sec beyond a dollar, aud caring
forno consideration except money. Threa
ten them, and they will crouch to your
feet like so many hounds. Only swear
that you are going to dissolve the Union,
and the timid creatures will get down on
all fours, bite the dust, and kiss tho rod
raised to chastise tbcrn."
The Senator applied this language to
Northern Republicans and Democrats in
discrimiuatelv. As if to show that it is
mi
no piece of empty bravado, tbc Charles
ton papers deelaro that the houses of that
city will never be so closely secured and
watched as when the Democratic Conven
tion shall bo in session, with its hosts of
retainers precipitated upon them.
