THE GENERAL BANKIMI LAW.
Tli ore it perhaps no subject, of such gen
eral Importance, so little understood as lbs
principles of banking. We are led to make
these remarks from the fact of seeing, siuce
tbe passago of the General Hanking Law, in
tome of tho most rabid of our democratic
papers, denunciations of this law, that to tbe
Intelligent reader are, at least, amoBing when
Dot too flatly absurd. That a true democrat,
who by virtue of bis democracy, is supposed
to bavo an inherent aversion to tho grant of
exclusive privileges, should prefer a system
authorizing the issue of n ilea, the seem ity and
redemption of which, depend almost wholly
on tbe character aud reputation oflhe officers,
Is one of the anomalies of tho day an apt
illustration of the blind leading the blind.
Rut, that these same individuals should de
nounce the only system ever devised for tbe
perfect security of note holders in the event
of a failure, a system based on views for which
tbe democracy bavo always contended, viz :
no monopolies and no exclusive privileges, is
perhaps, no less surprising thau many other
strange inconsistencies of a partisan pres9.
We bavo conversed with a number of intelli
gent gentlemen, connected witb our Hanks,
on this subject. While tbey freely admit the
entire pafety and security of the new system,
their principle objection is that it will not
pay, unless in the cities, where there are largo
depositee, as every dollar issaed must be se
cured by pledges of stock in the hands of tbo
State Treasurer. It is not onr object to make
inviiious comparisons between tho new and
old systems. Our neighboring Banks bave
been so well managed nod sustained such an
excellent reputation, that peoplo bave, and
justly too, tho utmost conCdeuco in their sol
vency, nnd will have, so long as tbey aro
under tho control of such men. It is the
system which enobles rogues, assuming the
character of honest men, to impose upon the
community, that wa object to. The Dunk of
Pennsylvania, until a short timo before its
final crash, was deemed a model of safety, and
so were many others of tbo thirty-six banks
that bave collapsed since tbe time of Simon
Snyder, involving about fifty millions of capi
tal. Truo, our neighbor of the Gazette looks
upon this as a trifle, and nothing to complain
of, when peoplo ore once used to it. Indeed,
we looked upon tho objections urged by our
neighbor as a kind of joke on bis part, until
these attacks were repeated. A nother of his
objections is that this bill was passed by
bribery. This is cutting it rather too fat.
Some of tbe frieuds and borers of tbe city
bauJiB will, no doubt, put on an indignant
smile on learning this fact. It is well known
that our legislatures, for some years past,
bave bad a majority iu favor of tbo General
Banking system, but our city financiers bave
always niaDBged to prevent the passago of
sucb.o bilT. . We remember well, daring tbe
last year of Gov. Vollock's administration,
that a similar bill was most unexpectedly
consigned to the tomb of the Capolets
smothered. Mr. Ball, of L'rie, then stated
that be had bad the personal assurance of a
handsome majority in its favor in tbe House,
but a sudden chungo had conio over some of
the members. What caused that change?
Of coarso our neighbor would never suspect
that our Philadelphia financiers bad anything
to do witb it.
But our neighbor bas a still moro alarming
objection. He contends that this Banking
Law will absorb and prevent tho payment of
onr State dobt. Had the opponeuts of the
law been shrewd enough to have seen this
objection, it would, no doubt, bavo proved
fatal to the bill. But bow the payment of
the State debt is to be affected, wo can't
comprehend, or Low A, who holds bonds and
mortgages against B, could, by transferring
tbem as collateral security, to n third person,
prevent B from payiDg off tbo same, when
duo, is a doctrine entirely new to the legs)
profession. When tho State is roac'y to pay
ber bonds, notice will bo given, and if any iu
tbe bands of tbo Auditor General ore called
on for redemption, ho will surrender them
and retaic the money for tbe redemption of
the notes, and tbe Bank will have to wjud up
or procure United States stock, in place of
tbe other, aud tbo loss if any, will be incurred
by tbe banker.
The only question is whether such banks
will be profitable. Like all other business, it
will be left to regulate itself. If banks aro
established where they are not needed, lik'6
stores, brokers' offices, ,Vc., they will be dis
continued, and the loss, if any, will full on the
banker, not the noteholder.
The only question witb business men is
whether it will pay, aud this is its greatest
recommendation, as it will Dot pas; where
there is no legitimate business to sustain it.
Nor can rogues or sharpers pervert its use
witb loss to any but themselves.
Tbe best evidence in favor of tbe system is
its practical success io tho State of New
York. As for ourselves, wo have no interest
whatever to subicrve io the matter, but wo
do not like to see a great public measure
denounced, without some show of reason.

Heenan, tho "Benecia Boy," who is match
ed to fight Tom Sayers for tbo Champion
ship of tho world," is now in tho custody of
Mr. Hilton, Head Constable of Dorby. The
details of his apprebousion aro as follows :
On Thursday alter noon laBt, Clarko, a De
tective Officer of tbe Leicestershire consta
bulary, arrived in Derby with a warrunt for
the upprohensioo of Heenan, it being under
stood that tho celebrated pugilist, with hia
trainers, was located ot Trent Locks, which
divide tho counties of Derby and Leicester.
The Leicestershire officer gob the warrant
backed by a Derbyshire magistrate, and at
10 o'clock on Thursday night Clark, accom
panied by Sup- Shaw, iSergoaot Lowndes,
and Polico Constable HalUm, of tho Derby
shire forces, proceeded io a "trap" to Trent
Locks, where they arrived about ono o'clock
yesterday morning. They put up at Dca'
coo's public-house, nnd remained there until
five a. m , whon they proceeded to the Navi
gation Jnn, kept by Mr. Rico. A Trent
lerryman let them into the house, and they at
once planted themselves at tho bottom of'tho
bedroom stairs, and then asked for the land
lord. The landlord came down. In answer
to the question whether Heenan was not io
bis bouae, be replied that he had been there
on tho evening previous, but ho did not know
mat ue was sleeDiotr there. Serireant Lown
des and Police-constuble Hullam, then pro
ceeded to a room, tho bed of which had evi
dently just been vacatod, and by the side of
it were a shirt, trouses, and waistcoat. Ia
tbe room also were two of Heenan's backers,
ana u JJounell, his trainer. One of them
was an American, who said be bad only arri
ved in hogland tho day previous. They all
aenico any Koowieago oi ueenans here
abouts. After tbe officers bad searched overv room
upstairs for about an hour, tbey desceuded
again. Directly afterward, a man named
Henry achison, who keeps tho lock-house
on the I rent bank, camo into tbe bouse with
a nolo written iu pencil, which ho gave to the
landlord. The police were in plait clothes,
and Superintendent Sbaw said to Zachison,
"What is it ?" He replied that "it was from
iieeuun, who was at his "bouse." The note
was os follows ;
"I am waiting; for my shoes at tlia Ick-houM ; O
Domicll uiuat bring ilicru to nit directly."
The officers then proceeded to the Lock-
House. Zicbison deo:ed all knowledge of
neenan, ana wouiu not allow them to go op
stairs without producing a search warrant.
Sergeant Lowudes then went to a county
magistrato for a search warrant, and after be
bad been cono about ten miuutcs Heenan
jumped through Zucbison's bedroom window
and leaped over tbo bead of Police Constable
ltallam. lie at oucs took to bis heels, fol
lowed by the officers. An excitinc chase en
sued, but the American, not knowing tbe
' line of country," was captured after clearing
a lew uoius.
Both Heenan and his backers appeared deeply
inoriilled a his being taken. This was about
7 o Clock yesterday morning, and, trap being
aent lor, Ileenan waa put in and conveyed to
Derby, a distance of 10 milea, On tho road lis
bad a good deal of "chad" with the officers, and
threatened to amaah SergU Lownde'a noae, but
the latter replied that no American could do it.

journment. Cu ABi.kaTON, April 23, 10 o'clock, P. M.
The city is quiet to-night. There is no
public speaking at the bead-quarters tbe
party leaders beiDg engaged iu private con
sultations. The votes of the delegations to-day on tbe
most important question which come up, tbe
appointment of committees od organization
and credentials, are regarded as indicating
tbo nomination of Sonator Douglas for tbo
Presidency.
All tbe Douglas delegates voted ia favor
of tbe "Soft" New York delegation.
Tbe Committee on Credentials, it is under
stood, will report, by a large majority, io
favor of tho admission of tha "Softs" as
delegates from New York, sod also io favor
of the Illinois Douglas delegates j and it is
believed that tbe "Softs" will vote for Mr.
Douglas.
Tho Alabama delegation will demand the
"slave code," and an effort will ba made to
proceed to a ballot for the nomination of can

re-assembled at 10 o'clock.
Tbe Committee on Organization reported
tbe Hod. Caleb Cashing, for President, and
one Vice President and Secretary from each
btate. Those from New York, Pennsylvania
and Maryland, are as follows : .
New York Urastus Corning and J. Ed

Marylacd W. D. Bowie, B. F. Love.
Tbe report or tba Committee on Organiza
tion presents an additional role that io any
State which bas provided or directed by Us

tbe Convention will recognize tbe right of
each delegate to oast bis individual vote.
A warm debato arose oo this rule, in
which Messrs Richardson. Cook, Cessna of
Pennsylvaoia, Barry of Mississippi, Jo.iab
Randall, and others, took part.
Several of the Southern deltfgatos opposed

Mr. Randall also opposed it, declaricg that

1 Cries of order, and much r-xcitement.
'lie chairman decided that Mr. Richardpoo
was entitled to the floor, and then changed his
decision, denying bis right.
Mr. Kichardson (atandinir on a chair in the
centre of the hall, with his sleeves rolled up, and
seeming determined to be heard,) wlaa finally
allowed to goon. He again attacked Mr. Ran
dall, as having recently come into the fold. II is
poliiical antcccdenta entitled hia opinions an De
mocracy to but little conaidcra'.ion. He did not
desire, afier a life's service in the cause, to be
reproved by the recruits of yesterday.
Mr. Wright, of Pennsylvania made a strong
appeal for harmdny in the proceedings. If a
spirit of harmony did not prevail here, the no
minations to he made would not be worth the
paper on which they were recorded when brought
before the people. He waa in favor of the rule,
Every delegate should be permitted to cast hia
vole in accordance with hia convictions and those
of hia constituents. Pennsylvania had never
voted as a unit except when their sentiment was
unanimous. He closed by demanding the pre
vious question.
A vote was then taken on that part of the
report of the committee relating to the presiding
olllccrs, and il was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Flournoy, the late Chairman, then re
turned thanks, and counselled moderation and
harmony in the proceedings of the Convention.
We are all marching under one flag the De
mocratic party had but one flag, the flag of our
country. He denounced sectionalism, and hoped
there would be no more allnaiona made to such
divisions.
Hon. Caleb Cushing wag then escorted to the
chair, a.nd addressed the Convention.
Mr. Cushing'a speech was a most eloquent
and patriotic effort. He alluded to Mr. Calhoun
and hia motto, "Truth, Justice, and the Consti
tution," which called forth prolonged and hearty
cheering. He said that it was the destiny of the
Democratic party to withstand, strike down, and
conquer the traitorous fanaticism that was arrayed
agaiimt it in one section of the Union.
The conclusion of the apuuch was received with loud
appluuBc.
About half nn hour waa apent in aealitn; the Vice Presi

Committee, relative to the light of tha members of ench

April 25, 10 o'clock A. M. Tha large vote
on excluding the New York Wood delegates
is regarded as favoreble to tbe prospects of

the extreme southerners now dispute bis

here.
