to act as currency, the denominations of $20, $50, $100 and

$1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 will be payable to the order of
the depositor. The authority under which this new gold cur¬

Considbrable discussion has been

And be it farther enacted, that the
Secretary of the Treasury is
hereby authorized to receive deposits of gold coin and bullion with the
Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the United States, in sums not
less than twenty dollars, and to issue certificates therefor in denomina¬
tions of not less than twenty dollars each, corresponding with the de¬
nominations of the United States notes. The coin and bullion deposited
for or representing the certificates of deposit shall be retained in the
Treasury for the payment of the same on demand ; and certificates re¬
presenting coin in the Treasury may be issued in payment of interest on
tLe public debt, which certificates, together with those issued for coin
and bullion deposited, shall not at any time exceed twenty per centum
beyond the amount of coin and bullion in the Treasury ; and the certi¬
ficates for coin or bullion in the Treasury shall be received at par in pay¬
ment for duties on imports.”
Sub-Treasury in this city five millions of dollars of
these notes arrived yesterday. They are very well executed,
and are printed in gold ink by the patent process which is
owned, we believe, by one of the managers of the printing
office connected with the Treasury Department. In about a
week the arrangements will be complete at the New York
Sub-Treasury, and the reception of gold deposits will then
begin.
One of the chief advantages anticipated from these deposits
is the amassing of a large accumulation of coin by the gov¬
ernment.
This coin, it is claimed, will permanently remain
in the Treasury vaults, as its owners will not require it, but
will prefer to keep the gold notes, and to use themjor the
payment of duties, and even for exportation instead of coin.
The possession of nearly all the gold in the country, with per¬
mission to sell at his discretion, is to give the Secretary of the
Treasury the control of the gold market, and as his operations
are kept secret, and
the law expressly allows him to issue
gold checks to the extent of 20 per cent beyond the amount
of coin or bullion in the Treasury, he will have the command
of a large amount of gold, by the manipulation of which, it
is supposed, he will be able to regulate the market price
of gold and foreign exchange.

that drain be caused by a demand for export or by a general
propensity
to hoard coin, stimulated by alarm for the safety of*the banks. The
The fund so locked up might as well, for any practical purpose, be on
the other side of the Atlantic.
“
The only use to which this idle treasury fund could be put with a
view to the improvement of the currency would be to make it the basis
for an issue by the government of an equivalent sum in small notes de¬
signed for general circulation. As these notes would be isssed only iu
payment of government debt or in ordinary expenditure, the Treasury
would still have the use of all its funds while preserving intact in itsvaults an amount of specie equal to the whole amount of its notes in
circulation. There would indeed be no economy in the adoption of this
currency as a corresponding amount of specie would be idle in the
Treasury.”
These ideas
were
embodied in
a
scheme submitted
to the
Legislature of Pennsylvania by Colonel James Worrell, in
1856. His proposition was in the form of a request to Con¬
gress from the Legislature to mobilize the specie in the
Treasury, to displace the insecure small*note circulation of
the banks, and to provide a safe and convenient specie circulation resting on the faith of the Federal Government, and
represented, dollar for dollar, by coin actually in the Trea¬
sury. At a later period a bill for the establishment of this
plan was actually drawn, to be presented to Congress; but
it was not favored by the government of Mr. Buchanan, and
it consequently failed.
There is no doubt that under proper regulations ipecie
notes might be issued representing coin in the Treasury; but
while our currency is in so depreciated and unstable a condi¬
tion, it is on many accounts undesirable, and productive of
confusion to have in circulation government notes represent¬
ing two standards of value differing so widely from each,
other as the greenback dollar and the dollar in coin. A more
obvious objection lies against the permission to issue notes
for specie not actually in the Treasury. The law allows an
of 20 per cent. Consequently if 100 millions of coin
in the Treasury, notes to the amount of 120 millions
excees

might be issued; and the position in which the government
would be placed in time of panic would be extremely dan¬
gerous.
But as the plan is decided upon and will be at once
subjected to the test of experience, we refrain from further
comment.
The public will have an opportunity of judging
from actual results how wisely Mr. McCulloch has acted in
adopting in time of peace a measure which was sanctioned
by Congress to meet exigencies connected with the war.

This law is found in the works of vari¬
publicists of admitted authority, and in the decisions of
high tribunals here and elsewhere. We shall refer to none
that are not universally accredited.
The duty of neutral
nations, as between belligerents in time of war,_is very clear¬
ly stated.
Wheaton, in his “ Elements of International Law,” (page
697, Ed. of 1863), thus states the law. “The neutral is not
at liberty to favor one
party, to the detriment of the other;
it is his duty to be
every way careful to do equal and exact
justice to both parties.”
Phillimore (Commentaries on International Law, vol. 3,
p.
181), says, “ The relation of neutrality consists in two prin¬
cipal things, (1.) entire abstinence from any participation in
the war; (2.) impartiality of conduct toward both
belliger¬
ents.
It is for the neutral perpetually to recollect, and
prac
tically to carry out, the maxim 4 that he is an enemy who
does that which pleases the enemy?

The
exigencies of the recent civil war induced the Navy
Department to resort also to the use of steam vessels, and
many of our merchantmen were transformed into gunboats,
transports, etc. The creation of an iron-clad steam navy, which
was first begun at the
South, also grew out of the emergency,
effecting a revolution in naval warfare.
The experience of American
navagation has determined in
favor of the paddle-wheel, not
only because of its superior
adaptedness to our smooth and shallow waters, but because
of its economy.
We generally use single engines and con¬
sume less fuel.
The English engineers
generally use double
engines, which adds to the expense in this particular. For
speed, which is demanded for passenger transit, the paddlewheel is preferable.
The screw-propellers make little pro¬
gress against head winds, and yet involve the same
expense

purpose.
But in commerce, where
regularity and dispatch are re¬
quired in preference to expedition, the screw is by far most
to be preferred.

profitable employment of the screw is as

The introduction of water into New York from Croton
river dates back
only about a quarter of a century. The
authorities of the
city appear to have been tardy to an extra¬
ordinary degree in respect to this matter. It was hard to
convince the tax-paying citizens that the measure was of im¬
portance sufficient to warrant the outlay. The subject had
been agitated for many
years. It had been shown that the

many years render the

In 1823 the Sharon Canal

In 1825 the New York Water Works
Company was also incorporated, but was unable by reason
of the opposition of the Manhattan and Sharon Canal Com¬
panies to accomplish any thing. In 1827, the New York
Well Company was chartered, but failed to obtain water
ample for general use. Finally, the City Reservoir was con¬

Mr. Bourne has earned the
reputation of being one of the best
expositors of steam engineering who has ever written on the sub¬

on the
subject; and the work on the Screw-propeller is popular
with all engineers. The
present volume is intended as a companion
and key to his Catechism of the Steam
Engine, recently reprinted
by Appleton, and points out in the plainest style the methods of
procedure by which all computations connected with the SteamEngine are to be performed. It begins in the first chapter with
the several familiar
processes of arithmetic to be employed in calculations, illustrating the subject by facts which the most imperfectly
taught engineer well understands. The purpose is to remove the
difficulties that impede his progress, and enable him to master all
the problems and mechanical
principles which the subject involves.

LONDON AND LIVERPOOL DATES TO OCTOBER
16.
The unprecedented advance of
per cent in the Bank of Eng¬
land rates of interest, which now stands at 7
per cent, has already
produced the anticipated result of checking the tendency to speculation.
Prices of all kinds of securities
experienced a decline, and,
contrary to expectation, there was a limited application for dis¬
counts at the Bank,
Many parties on the announcement of the
rise in interest withdrew their
applications for discounts. The un¬
certainty respecting the further action of the Bank induced great
caution in the private banks and discount
houses, and they general¬
ly refused transactions except at an advance on the Bank of Eng¬
land rates. This
policy had the effect of diminishing the volume of
transactions, and thus contributed to the result anticipated
by the
Bank of England directors. No new
enterprises of importance
have been announced during the week, and the
general aspect of the
money market is one of caution and quiet.
The applications at the Bank for discount were
moderate, and a
further advance in the rates was not
anticipated. Nevertheless,
there was sufficient
uncertainty upon this point, to gather a large
attendance at the Bank on
Thursday, and the announcement that
no farther
change for the present was intended, imparted a feel*
ing of relief to the financial and mercantile community.
The decline in the public funds and other
securities, has not yet
been entirely recovered,
although there is an advance in nearly all
the quotations of last week. Thus

ted States securities, and American bonds still suSer from
the fluc¬
tuations of the market and are quoted at a decline on last

prices.
The advance of the Bank rate of interest is
regarded in some
as a consequence of the immense volume of transactions
in the Liverpool Cotton market, and the remarkable
development
of the internal trade of the
country consequent upon the sudden
demand for the American market, thus

Court of
Banks Liable to State Taxation
Appeals.—In the cases argued before the
Appeals at its last sitting, of the city of Utica against
G. C. Churchill and others, and Adam Van Allen against the as¬
sessors of the city of Albany; and C. P. Williams and others
against the same, the question of the right of the State and local
authorities to tax shareholders in the national banks was fully con¬
sidered. The decision of the court was given by Chief-Justice
Denio, all the other judges concurring, except Mr. Porter, who did
not sit in the last case on account of being a party interested.
We
give below the opinion of the Chief-Justice :
Denio, C. J.—The appeals in these three cases were heard together,
and the general question in each case is whether the shares of the stock¬
holders in the banking associations created under the acts of Congress,
which provide for the creation of national banks, cau be subjected to
taxation by State authorities.
In the first case, the institution whose stockholders were taxed, was
established on the 4th day of January, 1864, with a capital of $200,000,
the whole of which was invested in the securities of the public debt of
the United States. The
plaintiffs and other shareholders were taxed by
the Common Council of tne city of Utica, in September, 1864, aa for so
much personal property as their respective shares in the stock of the
Court of
bank represented.
In the second case, the institution is the First National Bank of Albany,
which was established in February, 1864, with a capital of $300,000,
the whole of which, and a considerably larger sum, is invested in similar
national securities. Its shareholders, of whom the plaintiff is one, were
assessed upon the respective amounts of their shares between the
of April and September, in the present year.
In the remaining case the institution is the National Albany Exchange
Bank ; and it was established in January, 1865, with a capital of three
months
hundred thousand dollars, all cf which is invested in federal securities.

on
two principal
ques.
First—That the banking institutions are creations of the federal govern¬
ment, and are instrumentalities provided by the national Legislature to
execute the powers granted to it by the Constitution ; and
Secondly—That the capital of these banks having been invested in
public debt of the United States, which securities have
been determined not to be liable to State taxation, the taxation of shares
is an act hostile to that immunity and destructive of it, and that such
taxation is consequently illegal and void.
As to the first proposition: It is incontestable, that property wholly
devoted to public uses by the general government can not be subjected
to the taxing power reposing in the government of the United States of
the Union. Independently of the cases which have been adjudged in
the federal courts it is perfectly plain upon principle ; and it results hy
evitqbly from the system of the Constitution, that the national institu¬
tions and establishments of every kind, which have been brought into
existence by laws constitutionally enacted by the national Legislature
exist independently of the State governments, and cannot be made tri¬
butary by means of State laws for taxation, or in any other manner, to
the needs or exigencies of the State governments.
(The opinion goes on to discuss at some length those features of the
late United States Bank which made it a public institution, giving
copious citations from the opinion of Chief-Justice Marshall, in the case
of McCullough vs. the State of Maryland: 4 Wheaton, p. 216; and
Osborn vs. the United States Bank, p. 738 * and showing therefrom that
it was on its character as a public agent, solely that the immunity of
that institution from State taxation rested.
We are compelled to omit
this portion of the opinion.)
But the Bank of the United States, equally with the banks involved f
in these cases, besides its public aspect as an instrument of the Federal
Government, was a trading corporation. The citizens were not only
permitted, but invited, to invest their monies in its stock, for the pur¬
poses of their individual profits, and the community at large was
expected to transact a large portion of its oasm pecuniary business by
means of its agency.
The faculty to transacrKhat business, and the
contribution to its funds by its private stockholders was necessary in
order to render it a useful instrument to the government in the trans-'
action of its business. Without this connection with the general busi¬
ness of the country it would be a mere inanimate body, useful, no
doubt, to a certain extent, as a depository of the public monies, but in¬
capable of subserving the great public purpose for which it was created.
Its connection with the general trade of the country constituted, in the
language of the Chief Justice, its vital spirit, which alone gave it a use¬
ful existence. But these individual means invested in the stock by the
private stockholders, were, before such investment, the proper and
legitimate subjects of state taxation. There was certainly no reason
why thev should cease to be subjected to that liability after they were
thus invested, unless such immunity were especially necessary to the
securities of the
existence and

that if the liability to taxation on the means so invested be sustained,
it will be in the power of the state governments to tax them so inordi¬

liability to abuse, is carried quite too far, and is not justified by the cir¬

It was the consideration of the mixed character of the purposes
which the Bank of the United States was incorporated, and the two¬

intended to
promote, which led the Supreme Court of the United States, in deter¬
mining the question of the liability of that institution to taxation, care¬
fully to discriminate between the interests of the individual
ers, which represented their private investments in the stocks and the
corporate boay itself. From the nature of the case, and the considera¬
tion that the judgment was to operate in every state of the Union in
which the bank and its branches were located, or in which any of its
stock might be held, it was eminently proper, and indeed essential, that
the court should define the precise subjects which should be exempt
from the taxing power of the states, and that which should remain
liable to contribute to the burden of sustaining the state institutions,
we accordingly find, at the close of the opinion of the chief justice, tho.

If this qualification was proper to be made in respect to the Bank of
the United States in which comparatively few of the citizens of the
country were interested as stockholders, a fortiori, it is applicable to
the national banks established by the-recent legislation of Congress,
which are designed to, and practically will, supersede the state banks,
and absorb the whole of the banks and property of all the people of
the Union which shall be involved in the business of corporate bank¬
ing. The idea of drawing all these immense pecuniary means, consti¬
tuting a very large proportion of all the personal property of the
nation, from the duty of contributing to sustain the state governments,
whose sphere it is to enact and administer all the laws and institutions
which regulate the acquisition, engagement and transmission of proper¬
ty and the administration of justice, and the conduct of state and local
government, would be frightful to contemplate. We cannot yield to
the argument that the qualifications which the court annexed to its
opinions was a mere dictum of the chief justice which we are at liberty
to disregard.
In the first place, it is in concurrence with our own con¬
victions of what is the necessary result of the principles upon which
the court proceeded ; but principally, we think, we ought to adhere to
it as a part of the judgments which the court was called upon to pro¬
nounce.
A
provision in the act of Congress under which these banks
were
established, appears to us directly to lead to the same results.
The clause in that act subjecting the shareholders in these banks to
taxation, has a close reference to the qualification contained in the opin¬
ion of the chief-justice, and was no doubt suggested by it; but a3 it is
to be immediately examined in connection with the question next to be
considered, we merely refer to it here.
We close our observations on this topic, by a reference to two cases,
in which the powers to tax the shareholders in the Bank of tho United
States under the state authority has been affirmed, (Biglow vs. the City
of Charleston, Mott and McCord, 527 ; State vs. Collectors, 2 Bailey,
654.)
.
.
We conclude with entire confidence that there is
the taxation of these shareholders arising out of the
no impediment to
consideration that
banking corporations are not themselves taxable.
It remains to consider whether the circumstance that the national
banks, whose stockholders are before us, had invested their capitals in
federal stocks, exonerates them from state taxation.
It is an essential pre-requisite in the constitution of these

be steadily kept in mind, in examining the other provisions of the act,
that the Congress was creating and dealing with moneyed institutions
which must, according to the very law of their existence, possess at all
times a large amount of these national securities, and which institutions
own them in much larger proportions. The act of Congress to
which reference has already been made contains provisions in the fol¬

A shareholder has no doubt a certain interest in all the

If there is anything which assimilates the interest erf the
creditors and shareholders to that of owners, the creditors certainly ap¬
proach nearest to that character, for they are first entitled to be paid ;
and in case of insolvency the proceeds arising from the conversion of the
assets are to be first applied to the payment of their demands.
Now,
when the constitutional inhibition as construed by the conrts, or the ex¬
press provision contained in the laws provided for loans, speaks of the
bonds as not liable to state taxation, the meaning is that the owners of
these bonds are thus exempt, not that all persons having a collateral in¬
terest in them are exempt
The expression is elliptical, but the idea of
taxing a note or bond, distinct from its ownership by some person, nat¬
ural or artificial, is of course an absurdity.
The owner is taxed in re¬
spect to the bond or on account of its ownership by him. If I am right
in conceding the banks as the owners of the bonds, and the shareholders
as having a collateral interest
respecting them, on account of their title
to share in the profits, then it is the banking corporation, and not the
shareholders, as creditors, which are entitled to claim the exemption.
(The court here cited, in support of their view of the ownership of the
shareholders in the property of a corporation, a recent decision of the
Court of Kings Bench, and discussed the bank tax case, in the second
Wallace 200, arguing that the decision in the latter case, rightly inter¬
preted was not adverse to his conclusion.)
It is argued that the Congress had not the constitutional power to
enact the provisions contained in the bank act of 1S64.
The argument
is, that as the Constitution has exempted public stocks from taxation
by the States, it was not in the power of Congress to subject them to
such taxation.
It is material to remember that there is no lanugage of
the constitution to that effect. But the Supreme Court has consideted
that the exertion of the taxing power of the states upon these securi¬
ties would or might impair the ability of the government to raise money
by loan for public purposes, and hence would be hostile to the con¬
gressional power to borrow mouey; and it is easy to see that the fac¬
ulty of borrowing upon securities, which should enj >y that immunity,
might, in some degree, promote the negotiation of loans. But is this an
advantage which may not be waived by the National Legislature?
There are frequently other public objects conuected with a loan be¬
yond the mere purposes of realizing the amount required to be bor¬
rowed. One purpose of the government organised by the Constitution,
is declared to be to promote the general welfare of the people of the
United States.
to which the
is
No doubt the maintainance of the state governments,

essential, is intimately connected with the general well-being of the
people.
Suppose, then, that Congress should come to the conclusion that the
placing of the general government in respect to a loan upon the same
footing with other borrowers, would not essentially affect the ability to
negotiate such loans, while is would greatly conduce to sustain and pro¬
mote the interest of the state governments in their pecuniary arrange¬
ments, and would, moreover, more effectually secure domestic tranquii-~
ity, which is another object aimed at by the constitution, is the supreme
legislature powerless in the premises
I cannot believe that such is
the case. The court here argued that the inhibition of the state to the
federal securities was derived from the clause of the Constitution, au¬
thorizing Congress to borrow money on the credit of the United States,
which being analogous to the power to regulate commerce was to be
interpreted in the same way; and that a state commercial regulation
had been held not a violation of the latter power, and proceeds : I
consider this a’strong precedent for holding that the National Legisla¬
ture is competent to waive the right which, under the decision of the
federal courts it possesses, to provide for the negotiation of loans which
shall not clothe their securities with au exemption from state taxation*
If, therefore, it could be held that the taxation of these shares was
the taxing of the bonds which the corporation held, I should yet think
that the taxation was lawful under the permission contained in the
banking law of the United States.
It is further urged that those shareholders are taxed beyond the limits
prescribed in the proviso in the act of Congress. We do not perceive
that to be so. The stock is assessed at the amount represented by the
shares respectively.
It is not shown that they are not of the value.
Theu the tax is at the same rate per cent as other moneyed capital in
lowing words : “ Provided, that nothing in this act shall be construed to
prevent all the shares of any of the said associations, held by any per¬
son, or body corporate, from being included in the valuation of personal
property of such person or corporation, ifc the assessment of taxes im¬
posed by or under state authority, at the place where such bank is located
and not elsewhere ; nor at a greater rate than is assessed upon other
moneyed capital in the bonds of individual citizens of this state; Pro¬
vided, further, that the tax so imposed, under the laws of any state,
upon the shares of the association authorized by this act, shall not
exceed the rate imposed upon the shares of any of the banks organized
under authority of the state where such association is located ; Provid¬
ed, also, that nothing in this act shall exempt the real estate of associa¬
tions from either state, county or municipal taxes to tho same extent,
according to its value, as other real estate is taxed” (§41.)
I need not spend time to show that the fact that the
exemption is
expressed by way of proviso does not impair the force of the enactment.
It is in substance a declaration of the supreme
legislative authority of
the Union that the bonds maybe taxed against the shareholders (if tax¬
ation of the shares is a taxing of the bonds) when
they are made parcel
of the capital of a national bank. But we are of
opinion that the as¬
sessment and taxation of the shares of a banking corporation is
not a the hands of individual citizens. Our laws do not authorize the taxation

organized under this act, or the act of Congress mentioned in eecti
n one
of this act ” shall be assessed or taxed in town or ward in which the
bank is located. (Laws 1865, ch. 97, § 10.)
And the act of Congress
mentioned in that first section is the act of Congress of June 3, 1864.
The first national banking act passed Feb. 25, 1863 (37th Congress, Ses.
8d, ch. 48), and it was consequently under that act that the first-men¬
tioned bank of Albany was organized. This would be conclusive in favor
of such of the shareholders of that institution as reside out of the proper
ward of the bank, were it not that a section of the act of 1864 (the 62d)
provides that all the banking associations organized under that former
banking act, which is in terms repealed by that section, should enjoy all
the rights and privileges granted, and be subject to all the duties, liab¬
ilities and restrictions imposed by that act of 1864. I am of opinion that
when the new and full Enabling act embraced within its scope all the
associations organized under the act of 1864, it included by a reasonable
construction these associations, which, although first established under
the earlier act. were continued and confirmed by the banking act of 1864,
and which stood at the passage of the New York act, solely upon the
last banking act of the United States.
Hence the judgment in the second* and third of the above contestec
cases must be reversed, and it must be declared as the judgment of this
court, that the taxation of the shareholders mentioned in the cases agreec
in these actions were legal and valid.
The costs in each of the appeals are awarded in favor of the prevail
on
ing parties.
The form of the judgment
is to be settled by one of the judges, unless
by the parties, in order that a proper clause may be insertec
showing that a question arising under the Constitution of the United
agreed
on
States was involved in this decision.
All the judges concurred in these conclusions, except that Judge Por¬
ter did not sit in the last mentioned case, on account of interest in the
bank concerned in it.

specie are merely
nominal, the entire shipments from Saturday last up to this
day being only $80,700.
The disbursements of the SubTreasury, on account of the November interest, have been
important during the week ; and $1,118,312 of gold has been
received by the Aspinwall steamer. The
supply has, from
these circumstances, exceeded the demand, and the

changes represent the extreme stringency in
monetary affairs during the week. The decrease in loans,
however, is not so large as was expected. The large reduction
in the deposits and legal tenders is the result of the exten

immense amount of capital it keeps locked up, the shipment of produce
is something to be devoutly wished for, that the warehousemen can be
pardoned for being a trifle “ sensational ” in order to assist and encour¬

harvested and marketed during damp weather, is beginning to tell upon
the condition of the old grain, and that unless the warehouses are emp¬
tied they will contain nothing but *' stumptail ” when Spring opens.

this theory of his, there is this, that the distance between two ag¬

must be an exact multiple of the distance between two agglomera¬
tions of an inferior order. Thus, the average distance between two
capitals of departments in France is eighty-seven kilometres that
between two contiguous cheft.lieux d'arrondissements, is forty-three
and a-half kilometres ; and between two contiguous cantons, four¬
teen and a half kilometres 7- so that the difference between two

six times that between two cantons, and twenty-four times the aver¬
age distance between two communes.— GalignanVs Messenger.

From the great success of this Company, they are
enabled to oner superior advantages to policy-holders.
Life-policies are issued, payable in annual, or in
one, five, or ten annual, installments; also, non-for¬
policies, payable in ten annual
payments, which ;ire paid at death, or on arriving at
anyparticular age. Life insurance, as an investment,
has no superior, as it has saved millions of dollars to
the insured, and thousands of families from ruin.
Dividends are paid to policj;-holders, thus enabling
them to continue their policies, if otherwise unable
feiture endowment
to do so.
This favorable feature has been the means
of saving
policies that would have been forfeited for
want of means to continue them, and, in several in¬
stances, families, once wealthy, have thus been Baved
many
from utter ruin.
