Ip the suit of the Merchanis’ National Bank vs. the State National Bank, originating in the late “State street irregularities,” Judge Clifford to-day read the opinion of the Circuit Court. He decided that the act of June, 1864, under which the national banks were created, conferred no authority on cashiers of banks to certify checks, ana that the power to certify checks for third parties was not in- herent in the duties appertaining to cashiers. He also held that the seventeenth by-law of the State Bank, which declared the duties of the cashier, did ot confer any power on such officer to certify checks of third parties; and in addition there ap- peared to be no question that the national ban! jeratly could not certify checks. The Court, woof things, di the jury to give a ver- dict for the State Bank. The couhsel for the Mer- chants’ Bank immediately filed exceptions, and the case will go to the United States Supreme it for final adjudication.

JONATHAN WORTH. In the absence of authority prohibiting them, the negro soldiers will vote to-morrow both for Congress- men and electors.

The old Bank of North Carolina has been driven into bankruptcy by creditors in New York, who de- manded par value for notes held against the bank and bought since the close of the war.

Why General Grant Does Not Resign. A few weeks ago the question as to whether Gen- eral Grant would resign his position as General-in- Chief of the Army before the day election was extensively discussed, From all the information your correspondent could obtain at that time in relation to this subjeet it seemed to be almost certain that General Grant would not resign, and it was 89 stated in these despatches, The sequel has proved the truth of that statement, The day of the election has arrived, and U.S. Grant is still General of the armies. In thus holding on to his military position General Grant has a very important object in view, and it is just as certain that he will not resign if he be elected to-morrow President of the United States, nor will he tender his resignation until the day of inaugura- tion shall have arrived. General Grant achieved success in the Held by carefully studying all the pos- sible moves of his opponents, and by forecasting his own movements in any contingency. He doubtless perceives that his resignation would leave a vacancy at the head of the army which will have to be filled. He may have his preferences as to who shall fill that vacancy, and, very probably, thinks that if he should have the privilege of making the nomination there wonld be less difficulty in filling that highly important grade in the service with the very man who accords best with his ideas of an army com- mander, It does not require any extraordinary keenness to see that General Grant's preference rests upon Lieutenant General Sherman, who is next in rank. The Settlement of the Alabama Claims. About a week ago I telegraphed you that the state. ment that Minister Johnson liad agreed to refer the Alabama claims toa commission of sixteen—elght on behalf of America and eight on behalf of Great Britain—was founded in error. Since then my despatch has been denied with an air of authority, the correspondent alleging that Secretary Seward had positively received a confirmation of the cable despatch announcing that Minister Johnson had agreed to a mixed commission, I am now enabled to state, on the very highest authority, that of the President of the United States, that there is not one word of truth in the story of a mixed commission. The President declares that he has never for a moment entertained a proposition so antagonistic to the inte- rests of this country, and that therefore Minister Johnson could not have consented to surrender our claims to the tender mercies of a mixed commission consisting of sixteen members, a number, as the President states, large enough to lead to endiess dis- cussions and wiuch would probably drag in new sub- Jects of contention instead of settling the old ones growing out of injuries to our commerce during the latexebellion, The President further states that the negotiations are In a fair way of speedy settlement, but that with his consent not a particle of the honor of the country shall be sacrificed orf any consideration. It 18 a great misiake to suppose that Mr. Sew- ard is conducting these delicate negotiations without consuiting the President, The latter Watches with the utimost interest and concern every movement made by our representative abroad, and is kept fully posted by his Foreign Secretary, and especially with regard to the progress in the settle- ment of ihe Alabama claims, © - Mr. Seward’s Auburn Speech. * * Secretary Seward’s last political pronuncinmiento from Auburn has occasioned much talk here to-day. ‘The general opinion is that it is made a little bit too late im the day, andithat, witn all its high profes- sions of patriotism and purity, it is dictated mainly by a desire to bolster up the declining fortunes of Sewardism by providing for Seward’s frends in office when the administration of An- drew Johnson shall be no more, The local politicians here dgciare that the speech of Seward is very O’Beirnish, @ term which heeds some explanation. O’Beirne is 4 quondam friend of the President, who was a ferocious demo- crat until just before the Octover elections. He was President of the Conservative Army and Navy Union here, and Secretary of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Dem. ocratic Convention in New York. At present he ts Register of Wills in this District. A few days before the October elections he suddenly declared for Grant and Colfax, against the sentiment of the rest of his comrades composing the Army and Navy Union; and some of bis friends say that his action was prompted by the desire to continne tn office. This is a mere localism of course, but I quote it to show what 1s said of Seward. The latter's course in showing his hand at the eleventh hour is regarded as similar to O'Beirne’s, though on @ larger scale. What will be the effect of bis last Auburn speech causes a variety of opinions. Some say it will fail ag Nat as a pancake, while others de- clare it is the very move which will decide the New York election in favor of the republicans, and proba- bly the elections in a few other States. The Public Debt Statement. The public debt statement will probably not be published till Friday or Saturday, full returns from various sources not having been received, Puyment of Interest Coupons.

Attorney General Evarts, Judge Willam Fullerton and Charles C. Yeaton, of New York, had an interview of five hours’ duration with the President to-day, at which very Important matters in connection with the Internal Revenue Bureau were considered. At- torney General Evarts and Judge Fullerton left here this evening for New York. Startling developments are looked for in the course of a few weeks, General Reynolds to be Removed. Reynolds, the despotic military commander tn Texas is still,ventilated by the quid nunes, The latest infor- mation from the White House Jeads to the conclusion that he wili be removed speedily, notwithstanding the statements to the contrary. The President seems to be waiting for official information regarding General Reynolds’ conduct before determining what shall be done.

NIBLO'’s GARDEN—EDWIN FORREST AS SPARTA- cus.—The character of the sullen, statworth and stubborn gladiator, ag given in Dr. Bird’s grand drama, has heretofore been looked upon as one of the great tragedian’s most powerful impersonations. The dialogue of the part is such as to give full scope for his most finished reading, while the sentiment of the plot and situations throughout the play aiford excellent opportunities for his most forcible action. With due regard, however, for Mr. Fovrest’s weli- earned title as the greatest of his kind we must can- didly say that in his Spartacus last evening he did not do justice to himself or the drama. But there were many mitigating circumstances. It was very evident that he was suffering much pony in, while his mind must have been racked by the facts that scarcely any of his principal supporters, except the ladies, were up In their parts, while others spoke as if affiicted with a chronic catarrh, and that besides doing his own part, and struggling against his physical iniir- mities, he was obliged to be prompter to alinost all the speakers on the stage. ‘The perforiuance, taken a3 a whole, was one of the tamest and lamest affairs that has been tnflicted on an intelligent audience this season, It was as bad as any traditional “tirst mht” could possibly be, and Mr. Forrest hurried through his speeches seemingly with the mtent of bringing the exhibition toa close as soon as pos- sible. The orchestra even seemed to be infected. Night afte night the same round of tunes ts gone through with by the band at this establishment, a3 regularly as if by @ hand organ, and while, at best, the music as given here is tolerable, last night it was simply abominable. ‘Then the question might well be asked, “ilave they such a thing as a ‘master super’ at Niblos?’ If they have, then for the sake of decency, if mot asa matter of basi- ness, let him’ show his army how to wear their tights, and give them chalk enough to hide on their dresses what a little soap and water might remove. Of the mounting of tha piece but litte can be said in praise, The scenery was meney in the extreme, and, however gutted it may have been to the drama, was not at all in keeping with ihe reputation of an estab- lishmeyt in which such trash as the “lack Crook”? and “White Fawn" were produced with so much splendor. ‘fo-night the “Gladjator” will be given again, and for to-morrgy evening “Metamora,” auother of Mr, Forrest's specialties, is on the bills.

Mr. and Mrs. Florence ag Bob Brierly and Emily St. Evremond developed the more striking and moving features of the drama with their accustomed skill, arousing in the varying scenes ail the varying emotions of the heart. To their admirable Gellneations of their aay, diverse characters the popularity of the Plece 1s, of course, very greatly to be attributed, for none but true aftists can touch with such power the fender sensibilities, noving ihe, audience to pity and tears and then couvulsing t e house with laughter.

The piece will be continued till Friday evening, on which occa- sion, at the farewell benefit of Mr. and Mra. Florence, there will be an entire change of bill. Bowery TuBaTre.—‘‘After Dark; or, Scenes of Life in London,” # new drama, tn four acts, by Dion Boucicault, was presented here, for the frat time in this city, last evening to a crowded house. ‘After Dark” ts strictly a sensational drama, and ts nothing if not that, yet its sensations are all old, and have been so recently produced here with other setting of dialogue as to be almost without interest. Thus we have low life, that kind of life which can be seen any day in any of our police courts, and which, after Oliver Twist, is like thin wine after strong brandy. There ia @ concert saloon scene, @ remi- niscence of the ‘‘Lottery of Life,” and as a clim: a railroad scene with a man across the track, who snaiched from death as the train comes rusuing by, agin “Under the Gaslight.” The plot of the piece simply a thread, on which Is strung these, and other kindred sensations which depend mainly for their success upon the liberality of the manager in moant- ing the piece and the skill of the stage carpenter, Neither have been wanting in the presentation of the drama at the Bowery, ahd as it contains ail the | elements caiculated to excite the adiniration and win the applause of the audiences who frequent this theatre, there is no doubt that ample retura will fow into the treasury of any outlay thus occasion ‘The scenes are really all new, and full advant is taken of the = area of stage to give fine perspective. ie raliroad scene, in pi ticular, was admirably his 5 It represented a section of an underground metropolitan railway, one of the arches spann the entire width of the beg) and the track runnin; from the right side, near the footiights, back an across the stage diagonally until it was lost in the shadow.
