W . A meeting of bankers in Crawford
Venango and Lawrence counties was
held in Meadville, on Tuesday of last
week, at which it was unanimously
agreed to receive no.more notes of State
banks on deposit after the 20th inst.,
unless at a discount of one per cent—the
issue of Pittsburg banks being specially
excepted. It is hoped by this course to
drive out of circulation all the old bank
notes, in the western part of the State
and make greenbacks and national cur
rency the sole circulating, medium.
,Robert E. Lee, educated as a sol•
dier at the public, expense, to fight the
battles of the Union, but whose sword is
yet dripping with the blood of Union
men, is now fed, with his entire family,
by rations drawn from U. S. CoMmis
sary stores at Richmond. If traitors
are to be fed by the Government, they
should at least be compelled to earn
what they eat, and therefore we hope
the authorities will soon find some use
ful employment for these ingrates.
Gen. Solomon Meredith has been
removed from his command at Paducah.
Prominent Kentuckians demanded this,
asserting that General Meredith's policy
savors so strongly of rebel sympathy
.that neither life nor property in that
Military District are safe from rebel
guerrillas, while Union men are selling
their property and leaving the country
because they can have no military pro
tection.

PAINE —A reporter present at the
trial of the assassins, describes Pairie's
a ppearance as follows :—Paine is a vil-
Weans looking man, tall and of huge
proportions, neck bare and like a bul
lock, face smoothly shaven, a shock of
black hair over a low forehead, and fierce
eyes with small cornea, around which
the white is always disagreeably visible.
He leans his head straight back against
the wall, and when looked at, glares the
looker out of countenance. He is the
very man that would be selected for any
atrocious deed like the murder of the
Secretary of State, and a band of pirates
would instinctively elect him as their
captain. Any one meeting him on the
street would turn around with a shudder
to look at him, and a stranger 'meeting
him face to face, would remember him
for ten years. His appearance is every
way very remarkable,
11,15' The Providence Journal, in an ar
ticle on Meson & Hamlin's Cabinet Or
gans, speaks of these excellent and now
celebrated instruments as follows : "For
volume and quality'of tone; for variety
and beauty of effects ; for excellence in
crescendo and dimindendo ; for 'quick
ness of response to the touch in rapid
staccato and "legato passages ; for the
ease and entire freedom from' fatigue
with which the bellows is operated ;'"for
the stability of every part'of the work
manship and' for capacity for standing
well in tune, the new Cabinet Organs of
Messrs. Mason & Hamlin—portable
reed instruments, the largest of which
'are smaller than ordinary piano-fortes—
are not only quite equal to the smaller
pipe organs of the best makers, but
much superior to the generality of those
heretofore used in small churches and
halls, and for private practice."
Southerners as well as Northerners
have learned a great mail , things during
this war. They have learned, for in
stance, that commercial nations are not
necessarily unwarlike ; that roan may be
very successful and eater in making
money, and yet make a goal soldier ;
that it is an exceedingly exhausting job
for "one Southerner to whip three Yan
kees ;" that cotton 49 not king, and that
slave society is not likely to spread it
self over the earth ; and though last not
least, that negro troops do not:run away
and howl when they hear a shot.
The grand review days—Tuesday
and Wednesday last—at . Washington,
turned out fine days and fine displays.
A number of stands were erected for
distinguished visitors. No colored.sol
diers were in the procession. At least
one hundred and fifty thousand men,
about sixty thousand horses and`seventy
or eighty bands were said to he in line
on Tuesday. The greatest , harmony pre
vailed—no accident liappening to mar
the pleasure, of the pageant.
"We returned home on Thursday,"
says an editor, after a trip of six hund
red.tniles in about three and a half days,
having, in that time, passed • over four
States, nine railroads, four oxen and a

more in that time, will please forward
his address, and the small balance he
owes us." .
The Legislature of this State has

Many can remember the time when
the administration of John Quincy

SEVEN-TBraTIES.—TIIIRD SERIES.—The
great success of the 7-30 Loan . must
always be looked upon as one of the
most powerful evidences of the strength
of the United States Government, and
of its strong hold upon the confidence
and affections of the people. On Satnr.
day May 13th, the subscriptions were
over thirty million dollars, and for the
week ending on that day, over ninety
eight million dollars, and in the three
months that the Loan has been in charge
of Mr. Jay Cooke, over five hundred mil
lion dollars. These large receipts will
enable the Treasury to pay off our ar
mies as they are disbanded, and to rapid
ly discharge the various obligations that
have been incurred during the war.
History will show that a great war-debt
to individuals has never before been so
promptly paid ; and we think all will
agree that Secretary McCulloch deserves
great credit for the ability he has mani
fested, not only in securing the means,
but for the financial skill he has display.
ed in so directing these vast receipts
and disbursements as not for a moment
to disturb the equilibrium of commerce,
embarrass individuals, or in any way
tighten the money market. It is doubt
less true that the Secretary of the Treas
ury might have negotiated the remaind
er of his'loans at six per cent, interest
instead of '7.30, but so much valuable
time would necessarily have been lost in
popularizing a new loan that the great
object of the Government, viz., an im
mediate supply of money sufficient to
pay all the debts incident to the war,
would have been defeated ; and besides,
the difference of interest would not have
been equal to three days' expenses. The
policy may have looked "penny wise,"
but the best financial authorities, as well
as common sense, pronounced it "pound
foolish." As it is—and will be, no sol
dier will go home without his greenbacks,
and the floating debt in the shape of
vouchers requisitions, &c., will be wiped
out as rapidly as the proper officers can
audit and adjust the accounts.
The Second Series of the 7.30 Loan
was exhausted on Saturday, May 13th.
On Monday, the Secretary of the Treas.
ury authorized Jay Cooke, the general
subscription Agent for U. S. Securities,
to receive subscriptions for $230,000,000
of a Third Series, which is all that is
authorized by Congress, and is without
doubt the last loan at this high rate of
interest that will be offered by the Gov
ernment.
There is no change in the terms or
conditions of this Third Series, except
that the Government reserves the right
of paying interest at six per cent. in
gold instead of seven and three-tenths
in currency—a right which would pre
suppose s. return to specie payments, and
make six per cent. in gold even better
than the higher rate in currency—a con
summation most devoutly to' be wished.
The privilege of converting the notes
into 5.20 six per cent. gold bonds at the
end of three years, or receiving payment
at maturity, at the holder's option, is re
tained.
The first day of the Third Series open
ed with a subscription within a fraction
of five millions, and the month of June
will certainly see the last of 'the 7.30 s
out of Market. How early in June we
cannot predict, but parties who wish to
make sure of a portion would do well to
be in time.
Full particulars may be found in our
advertising columns.•
THE ASSASSIN PAINE Washing
ton correspondent says that the person
known as Paine has confessed the at
tempt upon Mr, Seward's life. He says
that be had never seen him, that he had
nothing against him, and that he attemp
ted to' kill him only 'because he had
sworn to do it. The whole affair, he
has said, was a gigantic failure—only
two (Booth and himself) of the whole
number concerned baying kept their
oaths. If it bad 'succeeded, he says,
the actors in it would Lice never been
known. I hale been told that it was
.part of the plan to turn off the gas in the
theatre at the instant the pistol was
hearkand that the man was found at
the controlling slop:cock, to whom . that
duty had behi assigned, but he had fail
ed to hear the signal. Paine refuses to
disclose the names of his associates, or
to say anything of his own antecedents.
It is not believed that he has given his
real name, nor is it known as to what
part of the country he belongs. He
looks yoing, not over twenty-one or two;
is very athletic in his frame ; has white
soft hands; evidently unused to work,
and although utterliunmoied by threats
or by, harshness, giires indications of
sensibility to acts and words of kind

The Goods are of fashionable styles and
most excellent workmanship, and are sacrifi
ced in this manner to Lahore the proprietors
from embarrassment occasione,l a distract
ing civil war. It should be prominently sta
ted, also, that they are mostly of
AMERICAN MANUFACTURE
and therefore greatly superior to the goods
imported from abroad and hawked abOut as
the cheapest ever sold. The simple duty on
imported goods and the kkgh premium on Gold
(all foreign-bitls are payable in gold,) amount
to more than the entire cost of many of the
articles offered by us to the public. To facili
tate the sale
ONLY ONE DOLLAR
will be charged for any article on our list, and
this sum the purchaser need not pay until he

THE PLAN IS SIMPLE!
The name of each article offered for sale
