Free Banking.
•
The irtiportarice'of.tho Subject must:. plead
nn apology for our frequent recurrence to it.
The atiiCled which have appeared in our
oltfmns in' favor of Free Banking, had for
their sole design, the benefit of the people at
large. Vite know very that the great
majority of theinhabitants of this city would
rejoice if the Free Banking Bill should be
come a law, yet still despite this unaminity.
of opinion, it tnay be defeated because those
most interested in its success have not the
time, and in many instances, We fear have
not the independence of courage to espouse
the cause. Business men are now control
led by the Banks ; if they step beyond the
line designated by those institutions, their
paper is thrown out. and their notes are
dishonored. Thus this community is held
in subjection by a despotism as unrelenting
ns ever cursed the free thoughts and actions
of tnen. Meanwhile a great effort is ma
king at Harrisburg to carry. some of the
Charter Banks. There is a strong delega
tion there from Northampton to urge the
passage of the Easton Bank Eill:-this-we
suppose is a democratic institution, and
therefore the Democracy may support it
without sacrificing party allegiance ! 13ut
such short-sighed policy cannot long contin
ue. Men must and will think for them
selves—and why should ,ihey not f We
nre sometimes amused by the nonsense
which is uttered upon this subject by men
who never had a bu. , ,iness teansactions-in-
their lives to the• value of fifty dollars.—
What is their experiCence or judgment
worth in settling such a question as this ?
Certainly nothing
The bill introduce by Mr. Hart is well
digested, and presents as many guarantees
for the faithful performance of duties as it
is possible to conceive. The Surveyer Gen
eral is to have the notes engraved, printed.
and registered in his office, besides receiv
ing the State stock froth parties depositing
the same. Ile is then required to deposit with
the Auditor General, to be held by him for
the redemption of the notes put in circula
tion. The details of the bill are perfect,
and reflect great credit upon Mr. Hart, who
prepared it. His great business experience
enables him to comprehend a question like
this, and we are quite sure that our city, for
ninny years, has not had n more reliable or
useful member. The main feature of this
bill is not novel. In New York it has been
.in successful. operation since 1537, and in
several other States for a less time. In
New York it has been eminently success
ful, and perhaps our own city and State
cannot do better than imitate cur sister
State in this respect. Similar causes will
produce like effects. In business enterprise
we are far behind our neighbors, arid if we
ever expect to realize the advantages to
which our position entitles us, we must
awake from the lethargy of the past nod
work earnestly for the future— a future
which will soon be present. if we are wke
in the course of a few years, the ri colt, c
lion of our now existitg difficulties will be
remembered oily in derision and scorn.
That State Stock may he made the basis
of Binking Capital. 'Monts not a doubt.—
Evidences ofState indebtedness possess an
intrinsic of value, and like till other commod
ities, a market price is fixed upon them.
This price varies slightly, according to cir
cumstances. Six per cent. Suite Stock. not
subject to taxation, is always worth its face
rind not unfrequentiv, is above par. If there
is a doubt of the ability of the State t o pay
the interest, it will of course recede front
the par point. The six per cent. Stock of
Virginia is selling at 107i', and the
of this is, that several States have adopted
this stock as the basis of F ee Bank
ing. But we need not enlarge upi n this
point. bill 110 W before our 1, , eishouti ,
provides that parties depoitinir Fiebe St"el,
with the Surveyor GetteMl, re-, iv,
tomb-flubs in notes, or eighty dollars or, the
hundred: The swirl., in all cases. shall
bear nn interest of not less than five per
cent. ncr shall it be received at a rate above
its market value. This will tniquestiotta
bly nflbrd the most nmphi security to the
note holder, and to the public generally.—
Ner Bank can be established upon this !free
Principle without paying in the whole of
the capital when it is first started. if any
of our renders are anxious to know how the
capital of Charter Banks is usually paid in,
we hope they Will read the report of the
Commissioners ailiointed by the Legislature
to investigate the affairs of the Sitscpiehan •
an Bank. Under the.Pree llankitig Sys
tem, if one or more persons gave $50.000
or $500,000, it: may be invested itt State
Stock, which is deposited with the Su, vey.
or General. who gives notes in return for
it. These notes are loaned to borrowers,
in the usual way, and the stock in pledged
for their redemption.
To prevent too great an expansioi: of
Banking Capital by the provisions of the
bill, not more than $2.000,000 of stock can
•he received by the Surveyor Geueral, the
'first year for Banking purposes •;• nor more
•than $2,000,000 per annum for the. four
, ncxt.years. This will incresse the Blink
, ing Capital $ [0,000,000 in five years. An
'other restriction is placed in the bill. which
we do not consider material ; it is provided
that the Banking Capital under the provi
• sions of the act shall not, at any time, ex. ,
•ceed $15,060,000. The limitation as to
'the amount of' Capital' for the five years, we .
.consider wise and salutary. It will prevent
n sudden rush of a large amount of Capital
into that investment. The Bank/rim
'ties willlhus be gradually enlarged ° , while
the business of the country will not be sud
denly inflated. For these and other rea
sons, to which we shall again ask attention,
we are' in• favor of Mr. - Ilart's bill, and we
trust the Legislature will act upon the sub
ject with discretiombulabsve all, we de
mand:that:the present - Charter Banks, by
their agents and influence, shall not be al
layed to defeat this great meaSure. If we
find Bank Borers at Harrisburg striking at
the Free Law, we shall parade their names
at length in Or : colonies. and'show by whet

I Scrap of History.
In one of our exchange papers We find
the death ofthe yeting'Lord Loughborough,
tvhich recently occurred on his passage from
Havtinfin to this city chronicled as "the end
of a nobleman, whose progenitor insulted
Franklin."
An account of his treatment of Dr. Frank
lin may be found in almost any history of
the time. It was so remarkable an affitir,
that men have not hesitated to assign it as
one of the angravating causes which aliena
ted the colonies from Great Britiana very
weak supposition, for it assumes that Frank
lin's exertions in the cause of American In
dependence were stimulated by feelings of
revenge for personal insult. Even Lord ,
Campbell, in writing the life of %Vedder
burn, said that "had Franklin been soothed
instead of insulted, the colonies might have
been saved," This is very shallow rea
soning. The treatinent of Franklin, imleed
was part and•proof of bitterness of animosity
towards the colonies which he represented
that was unpropitious to any peaceful set
tlement-of-the-difliculties with thetn_;_ancL
possibly, had that - whole - tone - been - chang=
ed, and the colonies soothed and satisfied.
the seperation might have been postponed
for a season. But the individual wrong
is strangely exaggerated in its consequences
and injuriously to the simcere patriotism of
Franklin, when it is set down as a cause of
the revolution, or a stimulus needed to stir
-him to a more-active_patriotistn.
- Yet; there was sonrethitm to wound dtep
ly -the feelings - c - cerr of - the - philosophical
Franklin in the torrent of fierce invective
which Weddorburn poured upon h fro.
standing in the midst of his •enemies and
those of his country—unsupported—for his
own counsel spoke for him feebly and - in
fear. Ile had been the hearer of a petition
from the colony of Massachusetts for Ow re
call of Governor Hutchinson and Chief .ins.;
mice Oliver, on the ground that they were in
a conspiracy to destroy the liberties of the
colony. The proof had been furnished in
letter written by them, which came into
Franklin's possession—it was not known
how--and were laid by him before the
House of Assembly.
This petition was heard in 1774 before
the Privy Council, in the presence ofa larne
n umber of distinguished visitors and a crowd
of listeners. Wedderburn, as Solicitor
General, assailed the petitioners and their
agent in a style of unparalleled fierceness
and venom. Franklin stood unmoved for
hours, as described by Jeremy 13enthom,
an eye witness, "like a rock, in the same
posture, his head testing, on his left hand,
and hi that attitude abiding the pelting of
! the pitiless storm." The furious assault,
of which only fragmeins have been preserv
ed, heaped odium of all kinds upon the
ca , .tse of the colonies and their chant pions ;
and, amidst the fury of his abuse of Frank
lin he likened him in the Moor Zetoga, in
Dr. Young's tragedy of -Revenge," and said

Ile must die. I send you my account of

' County Rail ROftd Bonds.
Tlid Lycoming . Democrat explains the
mode of taking stock in the Erie Rail Road,
by Borough or County Officers, as follows :
"The Commissioners issue county bonds
to the amount of $200,000, bearing and an
nual interest of. six per cent. to be paid sat
ten years after date. These bonds must - toe
met at maturity. Let us see how they are
to be paid. 'The Railroad Company, on
receipt of these bonds give in return $2OOO
000 of stock, likewise bearing . an annual
interest of six per cent. which interest is
guaranteed until the completion of the road.
Untill then not the slighest risk is incurred
—the stock interest meets the interest on
the bonds. IVeil,•when the road is com
pleted, and fairly under way, what then ?
No one doubts the ability of the road to earn
six per cent. per. annum for its stockhold
ers ; freely concede that it will earn from
7 to 13 per cent.—and the projectors of the
road anticipate a much higher figure—the
stock would command a premium of thirty.
per cent. long before the county bonds
_would become due; and in the place of los
-ingTthe-county—wou id—realise—a-profit-- of
eighty-thousand by the transaction"
Easy Calculation.
The following simple rule for the calcu
lation of interest is worth preserving care
fully ; and the naloigh Times recommends
to its renders, who do not file their papers,
-(as-all-men-ought—to_do.)_to_cutLit_out__lmd
preserve it. It is an expeditious mode for
finding, the interest on a given sum for any
number of days at 6 per cent.
Divide the number of days by 6 and mul
tiply the dollars by the dividend. the result
is the interest in decimals ; cut off the right
hand figure and you have it in dollars and
cents. Thus—What is the interest no $1,09
for 21 days ? 21 divided by 6 is - 11'1 ; TOO
multiplied by 3.1 is :356—0r :3:>z cents.—
Again, what is the interest on Sll7B for 9:1
days :178x15' 1 -5:•;59, or
$5 85 9-10. Let book keepers try this rule
and they will find that it is all right.
Geld in New Mexico.
A correspondent writing, from Santa Fe,
New Mexico, says that rich gold mines are
being, discovered in every part of the territo
ty. A party of some sixty men principally
Americans, left here on Monday last for
Pio Gila. where a rich placer has helm
discovered. This placer is said to be richer
than any part of California the gold coun
try. They were all well mounted and
armed, nod supplied with two months pro
visions. I have no doubt but that they will
meet with success. Cold has also been dis
covered near Dona Ana; out of about three
pounds of rock sixteen dollars worth of gold
was taken. Also near Lo de Moro, front
about a peck of dirt- three dollars w6tth of
pure gold WaS found. Several lumps that
will weigh from three to nine onces each
have recently been found in the placer for
ty miles' from this place. This mine is
kn o wn to be very rich io gold, but there is
no water. If a company were formed with
sufficiency of capital to build a railmol to
the nearest water it would pay bettor than
any mine in the world ! It is an acl::,,iv

as the first. Every merchant should, in
every year of his life, mike some addition
to his capital. You say you get but little;
never mind—spend less, than little : and
then next year you will get more, for you
will have the profit upon the SUM you save.
There is no ro:,tl road to wealth any loot. ,
than to Qemnetry. The Irian who goes on
spending all he gets, and expects that by
some lucky hit he shall be raised to wealth.

case of ad62rse fortune, he has then no re- :
source ; whereas, by economy. be may lay
by a stock that may serve ac a provision in
case of adversity. You may say that times
are bad, the seasons are bad, the laws are
bad.. Look at home ; you spend more than
you get. How, then. can you be otherwise ,
than poor. floVv many a respezttable fami

they worthily and honorably filled, merely

Terrible Occurrence in Baltimore.
On Friday evening a week, James White

city, while in a state of wild inebriation
from strong drink, cut the throats of his
daughter. aged about 15 years and of his
little on, aged 3 years and then, after set
ting fire to the house, cut his own throat.—
The bodies of three were burned to a crisp.
The wife of White had left him, in conse

throats of the children were cut with an
axe, and the boy's • skull has also been
crushed.
This is a most horrible affair, and is
another warning against a too free indiil•
