HANK.
On Wednesday Inst, in tlio District Court
of PhiUxtolphia, before Judge Shiuswood, the
mil of the Comitiouwealli atfainet the Hank
of the United Slates was brought to a conclu
sion, eo far as the determination of tho facts
is concerned, by a verdict for llio plaintiff
fur 1,203,750.000. To tho sagacious, ener
pwlic action of the present accounting officers,
Messis. Nickel oml Purviance, the rescue of
this immense sum is to be attributed. It
will bo recollected thai by the charter of tho
Dank, a charter wrung finm the Legislature
by the clamorous solicitation of tho moneyed
interests, aided by the no less engrein nrgru.
riieuts of the bank itself, it was provided
that in lien of luxation, and as the price of the
franchise sold bv the Plate, the bank should
piy to the State Treasurer for tho use of the
common schools, tne sum of two millions of
dollars, in annual instalments of one hundred
thousand each. These) instalments were paid
down to 1841, when tho bank mado a series
of assignments, for tho ostensible purpose of
winding up her affairs, and disbursing the
piepcrty ur-signed among her crodilois. In
stead of doing this, however, the property
so aligned, with tho exception of a few
light dividends, remained in tho hands of tho
tiu.-lees to the amount of more than twenty
million of dollars down to July lust, when the
Commonwealth presented her claim ; the
Indices who were salaried officers, paying
no taxes therefor, and until required in tho
la.-t lew months by the peremptory action of
til.,- liceoui.ling departments, making no re
mi n to the assessor of the amount in their
hands. The defence slated on the trial of
the m, I tor the ui rears of the purchase mini
fy, tint the. bank has since 1S41 ceased the
exoiei.-o of banking privileges, and had made
the assignments in question, was ruled irrel
evant by the court, and a verdict taken for
the amount above rendered. This amount
iiidepiuduntly for all oilier considerations, is
watcely erjniil to what would have been re.
ali.ed by thu taxation of the property assign
ed during the ten j t ins ii l.as been laying in
the tiUAteta' hands) and wo congialulute
tho Departments on tho success with which
their efforts to recover so largo and just an
indebtedness has so far been attended.

ceedings of the I3ar on the death of Judge
Anthony List week, there were several
omissions. The second resolution should
read "Judgre of all the earth" instead of

In the -llh Resolution the committee was
omitted which we now republish as fol

THE SILVhll HT.KLINCY.
It is becoming mom evident, every day,
that (iold and not Silver is to constitute the
metallic, currency of this country. The Hanks,
v. e believe, all over the Union, are now pay
ing out gold at their counters in preference
to silver, as the littler is daily becoming
scarcer and cannot 1m purchased with gold
tinder u premium of 2? to 3 per cent. Gold
is thus becoming cnneiit throughout the
Union, and as an evidence of lliis fuel we may
stale thai itolwilhsiaudinn; the lare semi
monthly supplies of this metal from California,
the amount in tho vaults of the Hunks does
not greatly increase ; shew iua clearly that tho
surplus must be in the poekels and houses of
tlu people. We are ylad ol this, because the
result will be the establishment of our paper
cuireucy on a more enlarged metalic basis,
and tend to Ihe prevention of ruinous fluctua
tions and changes. What we want now is
th;; establishment bv Congress of Cold only
as the great legal standard of the country for,
large payments, and silver ol a reduced value,
for bu). ill payments and lor change We have
heretofore noticed the impracticability of ma
king two metals a legal tender lor the pay
ment of debts, on account of the impossibility
of preserving their relative values from line
lualion, in consequence of the greater produc
tion of ono metal over the oilier. McCulloch
in his Comnieiei.tl Dictionary stales that "Ihe
value of the precious metals is liable to per
petual changes, and hence, how nccurately so
ever the proporlial juluu as fixed by the
Mint regulations may correspond wilh the
pioporlion w hich lliey actuary bear In each
o:ii.;r in tho market, when the regulation is
made, the. chances are leu to one ihat it will
tpeedily cease to express their lelatiou to each
otli.-r."
Wo have full evidenco of Ihe truth ol this
observation in the fact that the gold eagle
coined prior to the Act of Congress of 28th
June, 1 53-1 , was worth, and would biintr, 10
iO-KK dollars in silver, ami that the cold
eagles made since that Act. will now com
mand only 9 70-100 dollars in silver in the
maiUet. Tho result is that our silver coins
rue now purchased daily in large quantities
by the brokers, for the purpose of cvportatioin
hud all ihd community are laboring under
jrreat inconvenience in consequence of it.
This is beginning lo be felt all over the coun
try, for we aro informed by tho Cushieis of
our Hanks that their correspondents in all
quarters are making daily inquiries wether
thev can accomodate them wi;h silver coins
for change. Ev. llulktin.

THE P05TAOE BILL.
We are highly gratified in being able to
congratulate our readers upon the passnge
of the new postage bill in the House of
Representatives. We trust that it will
soon pass the Senate and become the law ol
the land. By this bill, which will be found
in another column, it will be seen that
newspapers are to circulate free within the
County, or within 30 miles of the place of
publication. This measure should greatly
increase the circulation of the country pa.
pers. Letters weighing a half ounce wilt
be carried any distance for three cents and
three cents additional for every half ounce.
Another important feature is the coinage of
three cent pieces, three fourths silver and
one of copper. This is a coin that has long
been wanted. We should, however, have
preferred two cent, pieces, composed ol sil
ver and copper.
We believe two cents prepaid in all ca
ses would pay better than the above rates,
and would certainly be attended with much
less trouble to the Post Masters. The com
pensation ol the Post Masters we are pleas
ed to see are not to be reduced.
XLW JinirlAL DlfTRlCTH
In the Senate Mr. Wm. F. Packer lias
read in place a bill formin;; 20 new Judi
cial districts, In this hill Northumberland,
Union, Juniulta and Perry, is to form one
district, to he called the 7th district. Ly
coming, Clinton, Columbia and Montour is
to form another district. These will both
be pleasant districts-. In politics both are
democratic, and both will no doubt select
competent men to fill the important station
of President Judge.
Mr. Olwine, in the Ilo'ise, has read in
place a bill forming the state into Seven
teen districts. We however looked in vain
for the location of Northumberland county
Mr. Olwine probably intends erecting us
into a separate Judicial district, in anticipa
tion of our future growth. Mr. Olwine's
districts are too large

91 o'clock, P. M. The people are all res
rued from the rains, nnd, strange to tell, no
life was lost, nor does it appear that any one
was seriously wounded ; this can hardly be
determined lo night, however, ns many went
oir in carriages without any report of their
injuries being made ; certain it is that many
are badly bruised, several had their faces
cut, and one lady's face is badly disfigured'
Order being restored, the amusements are
going on. The dress circle on the east side
of the house was crowded to overflowing I

with nearly all its splendid furniture, was en

The loss is estimated at about $1,000,000.
COl.NTtRFEIT OTES.
Counterfeit notes are daily multiplying
scarcely a day passing that some new and
better dovised fraud is not exposed. Yester
day our police discovered, secreted away in
a bottle, eight dillerent descriptions of coun
terfeits, nmounling in all to some three Ihou
sand dullars. There were, tens of Norlhum"
berland, Bank ; tens of the Miner's Hank at
Potlsville ; fives of the Lebanon Hank ; fives
of Ihe Bank of Delawaie ; fives of the Hank
of the Valley of Viiginia ; fives of the liar.
risburg Hank ; threes of the Delaware Cily
Bank ; and twos of the Farmer's Hank
f
Lancaster. These last named aro '-UclitT1
issues, and the whole batch are said to be
well executed. Some of tho counterfeits
named have been noticed before, and there
is scarcely a doubt that they have been
widely distributed for circulation. The pub
lic, and especially small dealers, should keep
a sharp look-out, ns it is almost impossible
for tho press to furnish descriptions of the
many attempted frauds as fast as they ap

r. s. m:n.vtok, and the caici s.
When the editor of the Lew isburg Dem
ocrat talks about the verdancy ol his neigh
bors he should be careful that he does not,
through his own ignorance, fasten the epi
thet upon himself. This he certainly does
most eflectnally in supposing that General
Cameron had but one friend in caucus, be
cause he received but one vote. General
Cameron had quite a number of friends in
that body, probably ns many as Dlack or
Woodward, besides those that did not go
into that political conclave. Hut as he did
nut submit his claims to the caucus, he did
not wish his friends to vote for him there.
It is a fact well known, to all who know
anything of the matter, that some of his
warmest persona! and political friends were
in that caucus. Among them was Henry A.
Muhlenberg, the Senator from Berks. Gen.
MR. DOBBIN'S TAHII'F II KSOLI TIONS.
The Ilarrisburg Keystone in its last two
numbers contains several Ion winded arti
cles against the TarifT Resolutions of Mr.
Dobbins now before th- Legislature. There
is no use in the Free traders to attempt the
conversion of the people of Pennsylvania
to their doctrines by the learned sophisms
ol political economists. If even the Legis
lature should refuse to pass the resolutions
it will be in opposition to the oft repeated
and expressed wishes of the great majority

miles in length, making the distance from
Hariisburg to Philadelphia 1 14 i miles, or 71
miles longer than the loute by way of Lan-

Dr. Cogswell, of the Massachusetts llou c
ofTltepresentalives, was among the four relent
ed by that body last w eek lo be voted for for
Governor. He, however, declined, on ihe
rent Democratic ground that if the people
themselves didn't choose to elect him, he
wouldn't havetho office, lie was ihe "Demo
cratio safely candidate," and touching the
party to which he was w holly indebted for
his present political position, he said :
Soon after the Slate election in November,
when il was ascertained who were ihe con
stitutional candidates for the Governorship,
one of the Boston daily, journals represented
me ns tho 'lathes' candidal!',' who hail hum

to nvail myself of the present opportunity
publicly to correct a material error, in the
statement of that paper, and beg leave to sny,

of our people. The Keystone, no doubt sible, with a short nap immediately after, is
will stand bv itslheories, however fallacious 1 one of the most efleclual and speedy rume-
they may prove when put into practice.
The Keystone thinks if our people cannot
make iron as cheap as it is made in Etuope,
we should not make any until population
and starvation has brought down laljor to
the European standard. Another of the
fallacies of the Keystone is, that the duty
upon an article imported creates a corres
ponding duty upon the same amount nf the
domestic article consumed. This was also
one of Mr. Walker's theoiies. Tor instance
under the previous tariff coal was subject to
a duty of SI, 75 per ton. If we recollect
riht Gov. Porter informed us that he was
then paying -,1-0 fur the coal used at his
Furnace. Now according to this theory
the Governor's coal should not have cost
him more than t.) cents per ton. So aUo
with nails, which with a duty of 3 cents per
pound, were selling at 3 cents. The idea
dies known, The same will relieve a person

Cameron was undoubtedly, single handed,
the strongest candidate in the field, but it
was weli known that if he received the
Caucus nomination, that some of the self
constituted Simon Pure democrats would
act, as Clordon V. Mason and others threat
ened to act, two years since, and vote
against liim in convention. These are
lacts "too true to make a joke of ol," and so
is also the fact that before the ballottings
commenced in convention, some of these
same pure anti-Cameron democrats, were
anxious to postpone the election, and en
deavor to bring about a recon.Mderation.
Yet there are those who look upon the
proceedings of these packed Juries, con
trolled by political intriguer?, with as much
reverence as the holy conclave of Cardinals
in Rome. In the latter assemblage the
rival factions generally unite upon, and
elect as Pope, the feeblest and oldest mem
ber of their body, in the hope that they
will be soonest rid of him. Thus it is with
our modern caucuses, and such was the re
suit that returned Cardinal Sturgeon to the
U. S. Senate, six years tince. We hold
that a democrat is, or ought to be, a free
man, and should himself be the judge of the
propriety of going into caucus. Mr. Packer
had a perfect right, as a democrat, to act
as he thought proper in the matter, but in
dependent of this, the convention that nom
inated him, actually instructed him to use
hi pwn discretion, by voting down a reso
lution instructing him to go into caucus.

In Fbancf., they press the grape, in the

mechanical squeezing would so nicely express
ihat peculiar proportion of the whole mois

unacquainted wilh the use of soap, but the
argument for cleanliness is that the fermenta

of foreign mailer beld in suspension in the
wine, and that the liquid ultimately obtained
is us exquisitely pure as if humau 4iesh bad
