AN Interesting question relntive to the life ofthe churters of the Natlonn! banks has lately been rataed, and an inquiry into the wnatter by the ‘Lreasury oflielals discloses the fact that 456 of these charters expire arbitra- tly on the 25th of Februnry, 1883, while the remaindar, ubout 8,000, expire twenty years from this dato of thelr certifloates of orgunt- zation, ‘The reaaqn of thiy ts found in the act that according to the orighinl act of Feb, 25, 1803, under which the chartering of Na- tonal banks was authorized, all charters ex- pired twenty years from that date; while under the amended act of 1861 the charters were nude to run twenty yeurs from the date of organization Thenw occurred at. Boston yesterday a harrow éscape trom’an aceldent which might Have rivaled In horror the awftl plunge at the Frith of Tay. ‘The bell-wire broke upon o heavy fron steamer approaching a millrond drawbridge, aud the slgnal to step belng therefore not heard by the engineer at his post below, the big ship went on and struck the bridge with such force as to break Its fastenings and partially open the draw, A pausonger-train was upproaching the bridge, andthe furtunate Cuot that i was daylight and the engineer could see the displacement of tho bridge enabled him to reverse his en- gine, apply the alr-brakes, and stop his loco- motive fifteen fevt from the brink, There were all tho elements of a terrible accldeut ty the situation, ahd it was only by whales dreadth that it fell short of being one, Tue Republicans of-Mujne aro at last proper subjects fur congratulation upon the pluck and nerve shown by their liwfully- chosen Representatives In taklug thely soats “In the bodies to which they were deglared by the Supreme Court to baye been’ legally elected, Last evening at 6 o'clock the Re- publican Senators and Representatives elect proceeded to thelr respective halls In the State-ITouse, antl therenpon proceeded with the cnlling of the roll, which showed a quorum present In both Houses, Being thus ready for business, they organized by the election of a Speaker of the House anda Preshtent of the Senate, and thus perfected what the Fustonists have been unable to nee conplish for lack of a quorum—viz.: 'n legal organization of the General Assembly of the State of Male, ‘Truc to his duty ns a sol- (ier and a patrtot, Gen. Chamberlain. not only refused to listen to the protest of the Dogns Senate-Presitent, Lamson, against permitting the entraneeand occupation of the hallsof legtstation by the Republean major- ity, but he informed that Fusion conspirator that the Republicans would be allowed to hold possession of the building as long as they saw fit, and should be protected In the full enjoyment of thelr rights, But the Re- publieans do not intend to lay themselves open to the charge, of unlawful usurpation; they promptly passed in both Ilouses a joint. resolution submittIhng to the Supreme Cofrt the question of the validity of thelr actlon fn organizing the Legislature, ond binding themselves to nbide by tho decision of the Court, They have proceeded In everything thus far under tho full sanction of law, and they rest their case ngain with the Supreme Judicial ‘Tri. unal of the State, whose ruling thoy stand renily to respect and obey, Their positlon Is unassuifable, and they have won a creditable though tardy vietory over their despieabto antagonists, THE WOOD FUNDING BILL. The bill tntroduced by Fernanda Wand, Chatrman of the Ways and Means Commit- tee, for the refunding of the outstand|ng 6 and 5 per cent bonds will probably command the early attention of Congress. ‘The vill provides: (1) That all bonds bearing more than 4 per cent interest shall be refunded upon inaturity Into bonds bearing 3}¢ per cont Interest; (2) that the Secretary of the ‘Yreasury shall invest the money In the Treas ury in excess of 25 per cent of the outstand- ing legul-tender notes in the purchuse of the maturlug 6 and 5 per cent bonds; and (3) that the provision relative to the 34 per cent popular certifientes for ultimate converston Into bonds sliall ba continued Indefiuitly, under tho. condition that not amore than $50,000,000 of such certilicates shall be out- struding at any one time. "The operation of this Dill, if adopted as ft stands, would be ns follows; Thestrphis coin in tho Treasury available for redemption purposes Is about §140,000,000, The out- standing legal-tender notes are, in round atumbers, $40,000,000, so that a 25 per cent reserve would require about $37,000,000 In coin. will assume that $50,000,000 of 6 per cent bonds can be purchased with thissum. ‘The amount of 6 per cents outslanding, still In round miunbers, is 273,500,000, whieh would thus be reduced to $223,500,000, ‘Ihe amount of & per cents outstanding §s $508,440,000, The sununl saving of Interest under thls scheme would be about nx follows: On purchnae of $50,000,000 (63 This would release about $53,000,000 for the purehass of 6 per cent bonds.

Such av achievement will be sulllelently attrnetive to warrant the most enveful avuldanee of nuy experiment looking to the saving af $3,000,000 more, which might fail, When the refunding operations shall he completed, the entire Interest charge upon the Government will be about $70,000,000 a year, Instead of $140,000,000,° which — ft’ nnounted to fourteen years azo, or a reduc: tlon of more than one-half. ‘This will be ay accompilslinent of whieh the American Goy- ernment inay fairly boast as unparalleled, —— GEN. CHAMBERLAIN IN MAINE. There fs one man in Maine who seems to have all his wits shout him, and at the same time the eournge of Is couvictions. ‘This ts Gen, Chamberlam, He is aman of high standing and unimpeachable character, Te has been Governor of the State two or three times, and ty now Fresldent of Bowdoin Col lege, 1f1s present oftielal position {s that of Major-General and Commander of the State Militia, Just before the assembling of the “Rump” Legislature, he was called upon tn his official enpaelty by Garcelon, then Gov- ernor, to assume the responsibility for keen ing tho pence and guarding the State-House, Having assumed thls responsibility, Gen. Chamberlain construes the duty linposed upon him in the broadest sense, and he pro- poses to keop tho pence In the surest and most approved fashion—viz.; by enforcing. the law. In the line of thls duty Gen. Cham- berlatn refuses to recognize one Lamson, 0 pretender to the office of Governor, who de- rives his clatm froma Legisiature lacking 1 avorum ti one House, and made wp in part of Interlopers who, necording to the opinion of the Supreme Court, linve no right to the seats which they occupy, but does recognize alawful Legislature with aquornin In each louse, al] the members being, aecording to the Supreme Court, entitled to thelr seata, Gen. Chamberlain's position is somewhat anomalous, it is true; but his determination. not to permit any furthercomplications ismost commendable, In politles Gen. Chamberlain Is among the most conservative of Republic ans, and he will not be suspected of any mere partisan design In taking hls present posl- tlon, As the conservator of peace, netlng to that extent under the Constitution and called to his post by tho retiring Governor, who was mainly responsible for the existing con- fusion, It Is eminently wise for him to refuse to reeognize any clalmant whose ttle Is In dispute, If he were to give way to every pretender who should demand to exerelse tho supreme Executive authority In the absence of a lawfully-clected Governor, Gen, Chain- berlatn would soun find hhuself unable to keep the peace, and would thus prove dere- Het in hls own constitutional duty, Aside from this view of the ease, tt Is man- ifest that Gen, Chamberlain has Infinitly more authority, under the existing condl- Conversion of $221,000.00 (ts) f7i,000 | tons, to refuse to recognize Lainson ts Gov- Sourteeyn BE SOONG ES ernor than Lamson has for claiming tat of- TOM sreesrrccsessceressrseterereeer S10 105,000 | fice, The Constitution of Matne provides that Thera would be a saying of the interest now paid on the $50,000,000 at 6 per cent which would be purchased; of 23¢ per cent on the remaining 6 per cents to. be refunded Into 2g percents; ardof 144 per centon the B per vents to be refunded fite 81g per cents, aggregating more than 316,000,000, _ White the principle of the Wood bill Is corriet, thoy isa difference of opinion as to the. practical operation of the proposed pur- chase of bonds und the proposed rate of fr terest. IL is contended by Secretary Shei man that bonds bearing a Jower rite than 4 percent cannot be sold at par, while Mr. Wood contends that, If $ per cent bonds run ning twenty-elght: years are worth a pre muh of from three to four cents, bonds run- ning fifty years and benring Interest at the rate of 334 per cent will readily bring par. This Isa matter that can be approxhantely: determined by evidence and discussion. ‘The proposed reduction of the redemption fund, conslsting of thesurplus coin in the'l'reasury, is a somewhat dangerous experhnent, prehend a run upon the Treasury fo and the Government ts well prote the authority to sell bonds to nny wmonnt, rn coln, and bearing Interest us high as 6 per cent if necessary, for redemption purposes, At the stime thine It Is of the highest huportanes to keep such o cylin reserve In the ‘Treasury as will command enduring public confiilence, and Hkew]se defeat any money-combinatlon organized 'to exhaust the reserve for the pur pose of speculating in the bonds it would then be necessary to Issue, If the redemp- tion fund were reduced to $75,000,000 or $80,000,000, It nfght pay fora combination to get that umount of greonbacks together and withdraw the stock of gold In order to “bear” the bond market and buy in Govern: nent seeuriiles at less than thelr real valu Such a combination could not be ensily formned at the present time, nor could It euslly work out Its object under the present Redemption law, but it ty the obvious duty of the Government to protect itself against any acheme of the kind, aud a reduction of the coln reserve Is always i step In the wrong direction, Relative to the rate of interest which ft Is proposed tontinch tothe new refunding bonds, it Is not unlikely that 3.65 per cent may be snecessfully urged a8 a compromise hetween those who regard 4 per cent asteo high aud those who regard 8}y per cant as too low, Other tings being equal, die rate of 305. hins the quality of convenfenes and ready com: putation to: recommend ft.

Even hind there been 0 quorum In the House, it would have been constituted In casoutial part by seven per- sons not entitled to the seats thoy occupy, *] underthe rating of the highest tribunal in the State, Henee Gen, Chamberlain, however anomatous lis own position may be, cannot lawfully recognize Lamson as Acting Gov- ernor with a tile so fatally defective, and, as conservator of the State property and public peace, Gen, Chamberlatn cannot lawfully permit: Lamson to take possession of the Governor's offices and oxerelse the supreme Executive authority of the State without lawful warrant, especially now thata lawful Loglstature has been orgnilzed. It Ix fortunate for the people of Maine and ‘for the Interests of law and order that just stich a anan oas Gen.

PARNELL, Tho Communists of this city, at thelr meet- ing on Saturday, decided to partletpate in the reception to Mr. Parnell ina body, and as Communists, and thereby were guilty not only of anact of gross discourtesy In fore= Ing themselves upon him without know- ing whether ft would be agreeable, but of consummate assurance aud iimpudence fn thrusting doctrines upon hin for which nelther he nor the Irish people, at home or abroad, have any sympathy or re spect. Tf the Communtsts lind resolved to wait upon Afr. Parnell as tudlvidual eftizens, toexpress sympathy with his plans for the rellef of Irish tenants, nud to pledge thelr tetive support and codperation, thelr netion would not be open to eensorious comment, Mr. Parnell will bo waited upon by Repub- leans, Democrats, and Greenbuckers, by Catholies aml Protestants, by professional nen, buslness men, antl workIngmen, but they will leave thelr peculiag views and doo- trines at home, ad ge as priyate cltizens, with no other object than to assure hin of thelr sympathy and support, and to ene courage him in bis laudable Innd-reform miston tn behalf of hls fellow-countrymen, and to devise ways and menus for the praetl- cul reliof of the sutfering and destitution now provalllng in Ireland. ‘Tho Conmunista will walt upon Mr. Pare hell with wo such object in view, and with no object whatever in ylow. except to adver- tise themselves by hanging upon his “beon,” ‘Toy vepresent doctrines with which 3 country, and, when they shall be called in by 7 Parnell has no aliiiation; and consequently, the Government, the holders thereof will destre tho same sort of permanent jnvest- ment, English consols, drawing 3 por cent interest, ore worth within a sinall fraction of Oecents, Auiorican fifty-year bonds would {ngiish consols, and the addition of 65-100ths In Interest ought to give thoma par yalue, All the large cor- porations, railroad, Insurance, und bunking compantes, all the Trustees and Receivers with funds, the courts administering estates, and every class destrlug lnyestinents absolutely secure and Instantly conygruble, would seck }theso refunding bonds just os English can- sols ore sought In Great Britain, ‘The cer {ifleate system, under which aro ssucd $10 have the same character as Ih veeupylng any place in his reception as Suctullsts, they ure guiltyof a degreo of Drazen Insolence w personal Insult, There Is nothing (n com- mon between them, nor the most remote re- Intlouship between their respective views. ‘There bs nothing hi the operation of Mr. Pare nell’s land-reform polley which a Communist can help or further without o direct vlola- tlon of tho doctrines of “Socialism,” and thore is nothing which Mr. Purnell proposes: while does nut diumetrically oppose “Boctal- fu.” ‘That crowning delusion proposes that ho man shall own any individual property whatever, Cupital fs regarded as 8 crime, ‘The mon who holds as hisown any proper- Melt fa hardly less thanon” tyis denounced ayn thief and a robber. It does not even ieeognize tho right of the workingman to own hls Mttle cottage and make « home for his children, to po acow or plg for their support, or a horse to help him make n living. It would relegate all property to. the State, to be handled by a ring of head-centre demagogs and profes: stonal gate-mnoney takers ike Schilling, Par- sons, and Morgan, and debar every man from owning land ora homestead, or accumulating anything for his children, or enjoying any- thing lmself beyond what 4s necessary for bare subsistence. Under Communistic polley nothing can be separate; everything. must be In common, Lanis would be held by the peo- ple of this country very much as tha Utes hold thelr reservation in Colorado, wider the management and administration of thelr Chiefs, and with Just about the same practtent results, It would strip every man of his right to hold and own property and to enjoy tho fruits of his labor; would offer a premium to laziness and unthrift, and leave every man without the Incentive to labor or Improve, or ambition for the future. This ts Soctalism fn Its fundamental workings. Mr, Parnell’s polley Is as far from this as tho sun {s from Neptune, Ils first and most important proposition ts, that the English Government shall adopt the policy whitelt will enable the bruised, bled, persecuted Irish tenantry to own their Jand and hold tt for themselyes and ehildren, and enjoy the products of thelr Inbor. Soclalism advo- cates the confiscation of all land by the State; Mr. Parnell would compet the State to undo tho vontisention of two centuries ago, return tho land to flg rightful owners, and allow each man the right to own his farm without any reference to any other man, Te would place the Lrish farmers in the sume relative position as the farmers of France, Belglum, Holland, Rhine Prussia, and Bavaria, and help them to approximate to the Independent condition of our own farme 'The second object of Mr. Parnell Is to rats funds for the relief of his unfortunate coun- trymen that thoy may be enabled to tlde over what alrendy threatens to be a famine aw- {ug to the fallure of crops, to pay their rents, and to have something to live upon until they can get no fresh start, and, above all, to Institute such changes that hereafter tho Irlsh people shall not be compelled to make pertodical appeals far help to other uations, and that English landlords shall uot be allowed to luvy a tax upon the people of thls country every year to help the Irish tenants pny their rent. © The Commutnistic leaders haye no money to help the Irish, beeause they don't work themselves, They reverse the Seriplure motto, and find tt much more blessed to receive than to give, Thoy are always open for contributions, but never for donations, They are realy to bleed thelr dupes at ony tlie that thoy may lve in idleness, but they were never knowin tocontribute a cent for the retlaf of suffers ing. Thelr whole polley tends to reduce men to pauperism and inental inertia and keep them there. ‘The Irish of Chicago are not Communists, and they have no affection for Socialism. ‘hoy have felt the Injustice and wrongs of government confiseation too keenly and grievously to indorse such a system here, and, if these Socfalistie dein- ngogs impose themselves upon Mr. Parnell for the sake of advertising their disastrous dogmas, we bellove the Irish people them- salves will be the first to resent such an In- sult to the distinguished advocate and champton of thelr friends st home who Is about to visit our city, FRENOH POLITICS, ‘ On the 12th of this month—yesterday—th Freneh Chambers began a new sesslon, and soon the Ministry recently formed wider M, De Freyelnet will submit tts program. So far asat present known, tho purification of the public service, and power to remove in- cumbents from offlee where sufltclent cause oxists, plenary anmesty and an anti-clerteal policy will be the leading mensures first pro- posed, Itis probable that on these measures tha Ministry will obtain the necessary major- Ites,and that if will commence ‘its career without difiiculty, But with a people like the French, and especially In a Government so nowly organized, thera must constantly arise as to the Internal policy of France new questions which have a tendency to dlyide and split: up the Republican majority In the Chambers. Many of these. questions are new and without precedent, others sro local. All are generally of such a character that the oplitons of the Ministry may at any time fall to receive the supporLof amajority of Repub- Henn members, French Republicans have not nsyet Jenrned to subordinate thelr individual oplutons to the opinions of their party, For thisenuse inthe Monse of Depiitles tho Re- publicans are divided {nto a series of groups, exch of which dlifers radically from the otherson many hnportant public questions. Unaniuilty between the groups is exception- al, and can be obtained only by much conell!- atlon and when evident necessity makes It Iniperatlye, In the present Cabinet five memborg of that which preceded It have been retained: ‘The majority of the new members, if not all of thom, have heeyséaken from the group of the Republican Left. M. de Freyeluet be- longs to this group, which Is belleved by President Grévy to contaln the core of the Republican majority, Asa whole, tho cle ments composing the Cabinet are said to be more moderate than could have been ex- peeted, ‘The reputation of {ts different men} bers, and the specehes which have recently been made by the most prominent among them, show that this estimate is not incor reel. Thospeectes of De Freycinet especially have given evidence of a coneillatory spirit on his. part, and lead to tha bellef that har- inony among the Republleans will bo one of his principal als, Doubtless he will suc- eved In bringing this about, at least until the novelty of the situation wears off, lt may be doubted, however, if-ils success will boat all pormanent. ‘The life of the De Freycinet Ministry will probably be longer than that of Its predecessor, Its Influence upon the afatra of France will certaluly be much greater, ag It famore dn aecord with the Re publican majority in the House, and forthe reason that the character and eupacity of Its loader are such as to win for him a far stronger support than SE, Waddington could at any thie hope to commani, In addition to domestic questions whieh will constantly arise, and upon any one of which tho Ministry may be wrecked, thore Is ong left It ax a legucy by Its predecessor which will test its strongth before the coun: try to the utmost, Weathide to the preser- vation of French Influence in Syria, which has become endangered by the clause of the Anglo-Turkish Convention granting the pro- tectornts of Asla Minor to Great Britain, For many years Francg has cherished and bullt-up her supremacy in the Enstern Myditerranean, She has especially regarded herself ag the guardian of Christhan interests inbyrla, Ago result of this her Influence in the Levant has been paramount, and-she has suceeeded in monopolizing the greater por tion of Jts trade, A tour recently mado by Sir Henry Layard, Britlsh Envoy ut Con- stantinopte, through Syria, which was fol-' lowed by a peremptory demand on hig return, .to his station that the Porte should at once comply with the terms of tho Convention, has greatly aroused the suspicions of the French, Soon after the terms of tho Anglo- ‘Turkish Convention were made known, Lord Sallsbury, in reply ton note from SE. Wadding- ton, oxprassly disclaimed on the part of tho British Government all Intention to Interfera with French influence m the Enstern Med- Iterranenn, Ills recent Manchestor speech, however, in whieh he exhibited so much aytnpathy for Germany and Austria and so utter a disregard for all French interests, las led the French people to: think that hin promises regarding France cannot fully be relled on, Ibis diMicult to seo how British Anfluonce and control in Asia Minor can be made effective without materially injuring tho Influence of the Froneh In Syria, The preservation of (his Influence without impairs Ing th alliance between France and England will bo a knotty question for any French Min- istry to solve, and it Is, not hhnprobable that the Cabluet of M. De Freyeinet will be ealled on to take action regarding tt. Jt has been sald by many leading French pollticlans that, as the present Republican majority in the House of Deputies ts now composed, It 1s not possible for any Minlstry, however constituted, to rely upon a perma nent Republican majority, It fy said that 9 Ministry with even Gambetta at its head would fall, ‘Tho differences between the con servative and radieal Republicans are 80 marked that this opinion fs undoubtedly well founded. Many have recommended that the Chambers be dissolved and a new election be held Inorder to obtain a more homoge- neous Republican ninjority. Thia Iden fs opposed by President Grévy and by Gambetta, both of whom prefer that the Chambers shall serve the term for whieh thoy were elected, and which expires In 1881, In the interval, and ntl then, we may expect to see ininy Ministerial changes, Tho De Freyeinet Min- istry will probably he replaced by othors more radicn! in thelr composition, Knch of these will succeed in settling some of the vexed questions Jikely to present thomselves, Tho majority of these questions definitly de- elded, and a permanent Republican majority: obtalned by 9 new electlou, Gambetta will have secured the opportunity for which he hus walted, and will no doubt then assume the duties of Premler. Tu Boston Herald adylses the ofcers of tho trink-line raflroad corporntions of the coun {ry liot to stand aloof and sulk, but to come promptly forward and ald in tho passage of a lnw by Congress to regulate transportation be- tween tho States.
