TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY-
A bill went through the lower House
of Congraa* yesterday to admit building
material tnto Boston free and then took up
the bill for the ten sloops of war. Mr
Archer, a member of the nural committee,
advocated the bill as a matter of necessity,
the navy of the United Slates being now
In arottou and ruinous condition. Ha ad
mitted that there was nothing to be feared
from the great powers, but the people
whom It was desired to impress with the
greatness of this country were the acini
•ivlllzed nation of the world. It svns fur
that object more than any other that
these vessels were required.
Various amendments, snob as requiring
half the number to be built in private
shipyards requiring plans and estimates
to he reported to Congress and an appro
priation made before the work is com
wauced, to modify the provision in regnrd
to guns, so as to make it read not exceed

Ouf National Banking system hss Its
Irieuds and Us ensmies Whatever may
be said of Its defects, os compared wltb
any system heretofore In vogue in this
couutry, it is an Improvement. Tbc old
safety fund system of New Turk, sujier
seded by tbs Free Banking Iv.v of ti.ul
Hlate. worked welt for the people The
present National system however is tbs
outgrowth of this latter, greatly elab
orated end improved. In reading the
recent reports, on the National system we
arc not a little gratified to observe to few
failures, and so little loss attending its
administration.
We find ouly twenty-one banks, organ
ized in eleven different States, with an
aggregate capital $4,236,100, have failed
since its organization in 1803. The total
circulation of these hanks was $_’,942,703,
of which $2.4 )1,430 has been redeemed in
full, leaving a balance still outstanding of
$501,363, which will also be redeemed
upon presentation to the Treasurer of the
United States, from the avails of United
States bonds held as security for that pur
pose. Of these hanks, live have been
finally closed (two during the past year),
having paid dividends to their creditors
During the year pust six failures are
reported Of these, the Union Square
National Bank, New York , tiro Fourth
National Bunk, Fhiladr Iphia and the
Waverly National Bank, New York, have
puld their creditors in fhll—a settlement,
it is believed, without n precedent in the
history of Bunking in America Tire
Eighth National Bunk, New York, has
paid a dividend of 50 per cent . the Ocean
National Hank, New York, n dividend of
70 per cent, and the receivers of tire
Ocean National Bunk, and of the First
Nationul Bank of Fort Smith. Ark . esti
mate that the creditors of both these hanks
will ultimately receive a dividend of 100
cents on the dollar.
The Venanago National Bank of Frank
lilt, I’eun . the Merchant*’ National Bank
of Washington, D. (’ , the First National
Bank of Selma. Ala., and the First National
Bank of New Orleans, were United State*
depositories. The final dividend in favor
of the creditors of the First National
Bunk of Vicksburg lias been unexpectedly
delayed by the recent presentation of a
claim of the United States for money *1
leged to have been been illegally deposited
by tbe Collector of Internal Revenue of
Ural district, in the year IKGB Since that
time no losses have occurred to the Gov
ernment by deposits made in the national
bnnks, although many millions of dollara
have been continually on deposit with
bnnks which are designated as daposlto
ries The three first named bnnks. at tbe
time of their failure, had a large amount
of Government funds on drqrosit.

We have to enter our unqualified con
demnation of tiro manner iu which Mr.
St. Clair-Abrams boasts that lie obtained
the press dispatclirs and thereby compelled
his adversaries to sell them to him at hi*
own price. For a cool piece of effrontery
Ibis boast surpasses anything we have
ever read of.
A man exploits Hi# properly of another
to compel him to tell it to him at Ins own
price, and then comes before tbe public
ant) boasts of it a* a smart piece of jour
nalistic enterprise. We much mistake the
lone and temper of the Southern press, if
it does not at one voice condemn mis act
of Mr. St. Clair-Abram* as disreputable to
the profession and deserving the graven
censure.

Who lured thee with snob leader yearning!
He knew thy fields snd wood laud ways,
And deemed thy huiuhlesl sou hla brother: —
Asleep, bevoud our blame or praise,
W e yield him track, O gentle Mother!
Of r,raise, of blame, he drank his Mil:
Who hss not read the life long story 1
And dear we hold Ids fame, but still
The man wss dearer than his glory.
And now to u are left stone
The closet where tils shadow iiagers,
The vacant chair that wa* a throne—

Wrath changed to kindm* ou that pen;
Though dipped in gall it flowed with honey;
One Mash from out the cloud, and then
The skies with smile and jest were sunny;
Of bate he surely Isi ked Uie art,
Who made his enemy lover :

When* now their like ttie round world over!

And gave to sinner and to saint.

Or make his lusty manhood latter;
From envy's siing, from slander's dart.

An Aasplcioui Opening.
The Congreas of the United States opens
its session in * becoming spirit. In tbe
Benate, Mr Sumner, on* of tbe mo*t im
placable and perusteut foes of the South ;
a man whose public career baa been
marked by an intense sectionalism, and
whose real powers have been dwarfed by
an uncontrollable prejudice, moves that
all records and symbols of the late civil
war be stricken from the flags and banners
of the country We can but applaud the
sentiment. It is not in the obliteration of
insignia which may revive bitter recol
lections tnat this res olution is to be en
forced, but in the smothering in the heart*
of the men of the two sections the fires of
hate which have been allowed to burn
long uftcr the close of actual strife.
And in the House the resignation of
General Banks of the chairmanship of the
Committeo of foreign affairs was not re- j
I ceived.
It had been freely giveu out that for his
| defection to Graut and his support of Mr
j Greeley, the member from Massacliuetts
j wa to be punished by degradation.
But the llouae went farther still. It or
: dered by a uuauimous vote that a record
; should be placed upon its journals of the
j vote recieved by Mr. Greeley iu the lute
Presidential canvass, together with the ex
i pressiou of its profound grief at the loss
j the country sustained in bis death.
These are the first and frusliest garlands
cast upon the grave of the greut editor,
j They ara fruits of that spirit of peace
) which be invoked by bis candidacy, mid
his admirable conduct in tbe campaign.
They give earnest of a truce to strife, of
a feeling of fraternization, which, if culti
vated, may yet cemeut tbe broken frag
inents of a shattered Union
A body which starts in such temper can
scarcely be expected to prove harsh. Tin
dictive and punitory in its action. In the
few weeks it has to sit it will accomplish
much if it can pass to its successor the ad
mirable temper in which it approaches
the discharge of public duties.— hue
