The Court of Common Pleas at Indianapolis, in a case made up by the National Baukers' Assooiation of Indians, hus decided that the stock of National Banks of that State are not lisble to tax for State or municipal purposes under the present State laws, not from any defect of power, but from defective Btate legiaiation.

And as to the effect of reducing the ticipates from the clmnge hie advocates & redistribution of wealth, we do not see as he does, thongh we are quite willing he should be heard and cousidered. | He does not need to argue to us that, provided as | much is produced by Eight (or Seven) Hours' work as has been by ten or twelvd, the pay will be as high as at present; for that is our own position. But, if less is produced, we think the recompense of Labor will be less—no matter whether wages are or are not nom- Hours of Labor upon its eggregate product, we do not dogmatize, but are willing to be guided by experience. But that the Laboring Class can secure more real re- compense while producing or earning less, is & woeful fallacy, which is sure to be refuted by a sad experi- experience, if Mr. 8.'s theory should ever be reduced to practice. To secure a greater recompense to the laborer, we must increase bis efficiency as a workman. That th's is perfectly compatible with a reduction of the Hours of Labor we joyfully agree; that increased recompeuse i3 to result from such reduction seems to us a moral impossi That is all. P ] THE DEATH PENALTY. In ansther column will be found a second commus nication from ““ M. B.” on the Death Penalty. We mast meke short work with M.

The decision will turn upon the tenor of our treaties with Spain; but the most gignificant point thus far is that Judge McCunn has grave doubts 0s to whether any treaty would justify sending the men back into Slavery. On the second page of to-day's paper we print no- tices of New Publications; on the third page, Com- mercial Matters; ou the sixth page, several letters on Personal, Political and Social subjects; and on the seventh page, five letters from our special Canadian cor- respondent, Law Iutelligence, the Portland Fire, City Fenianism, Board of Aldermen, the North River Bank Swindle, Shipping Intelligence, and various items of City News. One featare of Mr. Sherman's scheme of National Finance strikes us unpleasantly, He evidently ealen. lates on perpetuating the difference between *coin” and * lawful money” for a number of years,. We do not assent to this, and we trust the country will not assont to it. 'We are confident that we might, even yet, return to 8pecie Payments next Christmas by o vigorous, resolute effort. Gov. Chase says, *“The best preparation for resumption is to resume.” What is the use iu counting a dollar §1 40 to-day, ®1 60 to-morrow, aud $1 55 next day? And then theso vile shin-plasters—arg we never to be nid of them ? . —_— The scene in the House of Representatives yester- day, concerning the admission of Tennessce, is insig- nificant compared with the announcement that the State has adopted the Constitutional Amendment, notwithstanding Mr, Johnson's express declaration that he was opposed to it, and the stubborn efforts of the minority in the Tennessee Logislature to defeat it. To us it seems unnecessary and unfortunate that the Union party in the House shonld have divided so hastily on the question of the admission of Tennessee, and that the Democrats should have been made the arbitera. To-day the main question will be discussed and, we hope, with more deliberation. Let Tenues- see come in, —— TENNESSER, through her Legislature, has ratified the Cm?llilntionll Amendment—in the Senate, by 14 to 6—in the House yesterday by 43 to 11. As a full Senate ‘connim of 25 and a full House of 75 members, a constitutional quorum (two-thirds) was present and voted in either House. We rejoice that, in spite of 1. Fe would hang only where there is mo doubt of guilt. But murder is almost always perpetrated in secret, ind with much precaution to prevent dis- covery, It is raro that the crime can be brought home to the riminal so clearly as to preclade doubt; since even tlose who have confessed themselves murderers have aterward been proved innocent. JPlainly, M. B. would give a prisoner at bar the benefit of a doubt if he wen to be hung if’ found guilty, when he wonld bring dim in guilty if the penalty were imprisonment for life He think®our view tends to screen the mur- derer. We retort the charge on him, and cite him as our fist witness. And, as it is notorions that there are forr murders for each conviction, this s a grave matte. - Certainty of punishment is more essential than severity. 1L The relative eficacy of his favorite penalty and ours s no longer a matter of abstract speculation. Someaations and some States tako lifo for erime; othersdo not. We hold it proved by statisties that We are ready to ap- killing by law increases crime. peal b the statistics. IIL If every murderer of the last ten years were { subjeted to the penalty w fer, we believe it would be wdl to take every child once to see them under- goingthe penalty of the law, M. B. admits that he | coult not like to have his penalty inflicted in plain | ightof all. We submit that this is bad for his argu- | ment IV Our chief reason for imprisoning o murderer for lie 18 to restzain him from committing more crime. Imprsonment is the strait jacket of the morally in- sane. He who cannot withbold his hands from mur- der slould bave them carefully secured against further | misciief. Of gourse, this involves privation, suffeg- ing, yunishment; and it i iaw of the universe | | that he wrong-doer shall inflict on himself the evil he desims for others. And, if there be danger that he will cill again, the murderer onght to ask the com- munty to lock him up. V M. B.avers that criminals have ‘“brutal in- stings.” 8o we think. Let us not stimulate these in- stings, but seck to overcome them. Let us inflict no penaties which we should dread to have our children see iflicted; let us not be brutal even in dealing withthe bratal, but try to overcome evil with good. ~Lhis must suffice for to-day. —_— §i 3 o-- et WAR AND PEACE, Th N.

But statistios show that since the abolition of the death penalty these erimes have mot increased. B HOW TRAIN WOULD DO IT. Mr. George Francis Train, in addition to his regu- lar labors, has taken the job of running the Demo- cratic party of Nebraska on the Johnson track. He has just organized it at Omaha as **The Johnson Club of Nebraska,” gn this platform: nat the Union is perpetual and indissolable. : The equality of States and the right of representa- tion solemnly gunranteed. The right of each House of Con- gress to judize of the election and qualification of its members; and that no member shoald be admitted to either House of whose loyalty there is a reasonsble doubt. Third: That Slavery is abolished in all f, anc. should never, in any form, be revived, at each State sboald prescribe the qualideatious of T, Fifth: That the right of each State to regulate its domestic affuirs should be maintained. Sirth: That we most fully and cordially approve of the atern aod inflexivle patriotism of President Jolnson displayed dar- ing the late Rebeliion, and warmly approbate his untiriog offorts in behalf of the vigorous and continued prosecution of the war under the war policy of President Lincoin's Adwinis- rn'Prm to its final result in saving the Union from disruption; and we also cordiaily approve the policy pursued by the Presi- deut in his efforts to restore harmony and kindly selations be- tween the different States of the Union, Seventh: That, ns no State conld withdraw from the Union, there can be no readmission to the Union, and that all enabling acts for that purpose are improper. Eighth: That fn no event ¥hould the Government, directly or indirectly, make remunerstion for slaves liberated, nor in uny manner pay or become responsible for any portion of the debts or liabilities facurred by the States lately in rebellion. —Train, we presume, understands how to bar- wnonize *the right of cach State to regulate its domes- tic affairs” with an assurance that **Slavery should never, in any form, be revived.” That iz, we trust, Train's opinion; but suppose Sonth Carolina, Georgia, &e., should think differently—which ** sovereignty ” is to prevail—that of George or that of Georgia?

A PENNSYLVANIA VIEW. The mouster mass mecting at Reading, Pa., was so called, we suppose, from the monstrons doctrines it advocated, and the speech of the Hon. Richard Vaus, its President. As few of our readers may know this statesman, we will write his biography, apologizing * for its length. Many years ago, Mr. Vaux was Mayor of Philadelphia; many years ago he was elected a Di- rector of Girard College, but unfortunately had not the bonefit of a previous education at that institution; many years ago he ja-. vented the Vaux shirt collar, which is still’ largely worn -in_Philadelphia—by himself; the otber day he went to Reading, and was appointed #pokes- man for the Democratic party. These are the princie pal events of his public career, which, it will be seen, has been steadily downward. First, Mayor; then Di- reotor; then Shirt Collar Inventor; then President of the Reading meeting; this is a fearful decline, and we fear it is not onded, as it-is #aid that Mr, Vanx wants to become Scorctary of State under coudie tions which would make that office next to tho lows est in the country. We are glad he was allowed to make a speec h, foe he, of all men, is best fitted to speak for the Demoe- racy. Others have the tact fo hide its purposos, but As toa State’s preseribing ** the qualifications of h Mr. Vanx scorns concealment. With his usual energy he seized the occasion to show his knowledge of the longest words in the dietionary, and to review the history of the Upited States. We find, therefore, that the Democrats of Pennsylvania believe that & word of six syllables iz better than a word of ona, and that the war was begun in New-Englaud. Itis alao & cardinal article of the Democratic faith that the present Congress represents wobody, and that not one of its acts is constitutional. 'Will Mr. Vaux ques~ tion the constitutionality of its adjournment? before a Nation trinmphant over internal foes put its defonders under the feet of its defeated insurgents? Can that be the way to secure its perpetuity? No, O George Francis! and indissoluble,” if it pursues so base and treach- erous a policy as that! ——— CANADA, The letters wo publish to-day on Canadian matters by surprise to learn that thore has been recently some- tuing like a Ministerial cri of the opposition provoked by Mr. Galt's policy. A motion of want of confidence in the Gov- ernment, proposed by the principal opponent of the reasons weighing with the majority voting against the motion, who are of opinion that ou the eve of confederation it would be impolitic to o¥ér throw thg existing Government. 8o strong, however, has been the pressure from without in favor of protec- tion for Cauadian indastry, that Mr. Galt has been compelled to modify bis free trade scheme in some very material points, in order to insure the success of his financial measures for the next year. From the demonstrations which have been made against the new tariff proposed by Goverument, it is_ clear that the people of Canada are Dot pre pared to adopt the free trade policy of the mother country. Exceptional circumstances may enable the present Ministry to retain office in spite of the free trade predilections of the Premier: general, aud from the opposition shown to Mr. Galt's abnormal state of things in relation to the Govern- LICUL U1 v vvuatey ohall hava passad away. no Min- istry favorable to free trade will be tolerated Ly the Canadian people. SPEECH-MAKING. Gen, Sherman who, like Carlyle, affirms that there is too much speech-making, has repeatedly proved that, so far as he is concerned, there is too little, His address at the commencement of Dartmouth College yesterday, of which wo print a fall report, ought to rarely change a single voto of the members can be casily believed without the authority of Mr. Chase, is not to be doubted. Perhaps Gen. Sherman is wrong in supposing that Congress would do well to legis- late with as little debate as possible, the discussion of tho principles of a measure question, after reading Gen. Sherman's very pleasant speech, which is at once autobiography and counsel. Probably, as he quoted the encouragiug advice of Mr. Pettigrew, the young men who graduated yesterday will in future years refer to bim, His words of counsel are those of a soldier, practical and pointed, and what he says of himself has the finest elements of modesty, candor and application to the subject. He has shown how his apparently insignificant travels during his youth, proved to be during the Rebellion a prepara- tion for his services to the country, but he might have added that what e from his carly wanderings in swamps of South Carolina, and the mountains of Chattanooga, most men would have forgotten. His whole history, and that of every great man, shows that it is not circumstances that make true success, but the power of the Man to use them. the CONKLING'S The Select Committee to examine the difficulty be- tween Representative Coukling aud Gen.

Fry’s letter, charging Mr. Cuuklilz.cwith having acted without the authori- ty of the Secrotary of War, of having concealed frauds, and received unjust and excessive compensa- tion, is pronounced by the Committee wanton and inexcusable.
