A Medicine that never Debilitates!
DR. SANDFORD’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVEIi REMEDY,
I'li IS IS ON’LOf THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MEDI
- disc ivories ever made, and is daily working cures
ilni st too great o bel>e\e It cures as if by magic, even
;he iirsi dose giving benefit, and seldom more Mian one bo'tie
is requited to cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from the
worst Jaunri ce or Dyspepsia to a common head ache, ail ol
whu-U are the result o a diseased Liver.
The Liver is one { the principal regulators of the human
body, and when it per rms its iu etions well, the powers ol
i h**.-y stem are full \ dovelopid The stomach is almost en
tire!} dependent on ’the! healthy action ol the Liver for the
pr per performanceo‘ its luncii us. W hen the stomach is at
in It, the bowels are at fault, and the wf oie*ystejn suffers in
con--quenceol one, organ—the Liver—having ceased 10 do
ns tint; • For the disease ol that organ, one oi the roprietors
has made it his study,’u a. practice of more than 20yedrs, to
11 nd some remedy wi erewith to counteract the many derange
men to wr.ichitis liable.
? “ prove j hat this remedy is at last fount, any person trou
de*. with livurcoxnpla'iit in any of its forms, i as but to try a
ooti -e and conviction is certu n.
A compound has been formed by dissolving gums andex
traciing that part which is soluble for ti e active virtues of
die nadicin*-. These gums remove all morbid or bad maite
rou. th.- sysiem,- supplying . n their place a bea thy flow of
ule. invigorating the stomac ~ causing food to digest well,
p iri tying the blood, giving tone and :hea‘ th to the whole ma
chinery, removiug me causesj ot the disease,and effecting
a radical cure without any of the .disagreeable alter effects,
i'ci i l *v usin’ Calomel or Mineral Poison, that are usually re
ported to.
T<- aM who will follow liiese directioura curt is positively
guaranteed.
Si <• a Headache can be cured by the use of] or 2 teaspoons
.ui lakcii as soon as the attack is fell.
T- o i nvig.*r.dr never fails to euro sour stomach,or the bad
B Uu-Gs aMacks jieid readily to one bottle, and Chronic Di
arc* oea, difficult as it is to cure,is never trouolesometo those
who ike Ibe luvigoraior.
For Jaundice, nothing in the kuown world acts
s.> lolly or cures so quickly as the Luvigor&tor. 1L removes
al> • eiin vnes.-*and unnatural color from the skin.
F r Nightmare, takr a dose bes- re retiring, audit is war;
raided a sure prevtntative.
For Fema’e 1 instructions, it is a safe and sure remedy as it
remwes th< cause o* the disease.
iJostivenose cannot - x!si where the Invigorator is freely ta
ken while choiic yields readily to a lew uoses.
It must be Known that ail these are Liver Diseases, or caus
ed Ly a deranged Liver, and to cure them needs a Liver med
icine and one of great power. The Invigorator is suclqamed
icine; it has me Ileal powers neve r before discovered, that
will cure all diseases of the Liver, no matter of how long
landing or what ’ may be their form The active medicinal
virtues extracted rom the gums used is such as to be aston
ishing to ail who see their effects, tor none can use the medi
cine without receiving benefit. It acts as a'gentle cathartic,
an< shou'd always be taken in i-ulllcient quantities to oper
aieo th** bowe:s gentiy. TI best way t*< take it is to take
the medicine in the mom h, tb n lakes me water and ?wai
iow bo; h together. Ir. thiswty the medicine will scarcely
be tasted.

voice of all who nave used it, that! need n<d say anything ,
or, the subject, as the most skillful physicians ami the mest
careful uruggisL in the country are unanimous in its p aise. ]
[n presenting the Medical Discovery to your notice, i do it |
with a full knowledge of its curative power. In relieving all I
and carmg most of those diseases to wai eh you are uo fortu

natural sweetness*,ftud your babe from short and fretful na y
to calm and sweet slumbers; and the Medical discovery be
come- a founta no s blessing to your husband and household.
In the more advanced stages of
C AN K E R,
it extends to the stomach, causing
DYSPEPSJ A,
which is nothing but canker on the stomach; then to he In

creating a sinking, gone feeling, and an ev-n to
the cures of your own family.
Your stomach is
RAW AND INFLAMED ,
your food distresses you, ind you can only take certain kinds
and even of that your system does not get half the nourish
meat it contains as the acrimonious fluid of the canker eats it
up: then your complexiou ‘o-gesits bloom and becomes sal
low or greenish,and your best day gone. For want of nonr
i hment your system becomes loose and flabby, and tne fibres
of vour body becomes relaxed. Then follow a train of dis
eases which the Medical Discovery is peculiarly adapted to
CUR E;
Palpitation or the heart, Spain ..in the sid“, weakness of the
spine ands nail of the back, pain in the hip joint, when you
retire, irregularity of the ‘bowels, aud also, that most’ excru

PILE S.
How many thousands of poor women are suffering from

Tilers is a gem iu every heart,
However rough the casket be;

From some lorgotten,hidden lyre.

A long lorgotten. much lived song.
All bow beneath thy thrilling power—
We live tile past in days to come:
We cannot disenthral thy sway—
How nit unbidden dosi ihou steal,
Wi'h flashing light and darkest ray,
A pleasure or a pang reveal.
Thou art a store house lull of ireasure,
For each thou hast a bygone token,
Perchance of tears —yea, without measure-
Toothers pleasant words arc spoken.
Olt thou showest ties unbroken,
iisait meeting heart iu bonds ol home,
Bring back the very words once spoken
Bilorelhe light of life had come.
We go wnh thee to some lone grave,
The treasured dust again we see—
There’s naught we have thou dost not crave
lusatiate, grasping Memory,
Thy power, alas! we cannot quell,
Thou art a pari, of destiny;
Yes, Memory, thou hast a spell
As lasting as eternity.
From the Washington Evening Star.
Letter from Gen. Henningsen.
Washington Citv, D. C., Dec. 21, 1857.
Sir : In conformity with your desire, I enclose
some notes on Central American affairs. \ r ou will
perceive, from their perusal, that the bulk of the
population is Indian. At) Indian race, however,
in no wise resemb.ing the Indian of our Northern
continent, who is a nomade, a hunter, and a sav
age ; but the same people found by the Spanish
conquerors —sedentary, agricultural, industrious,
patient and superstitious —and who had built large
cities and raised stupendous tsmpies, on whose
altars smoked, indeed, the blood of human vic
tims. This Indian race, the only portion of the
population which labors and produces, amounts to
from two-thirds to three-quarters of the whole
population. It has never had any share in gov
ernment; but is periodically torn from its peacefu
avocations to fight the battles of the mixed race in
their incessant revolutions.
The mixed race consists of Spanish, Indian, and
negro biood, mingled and re-intermingled in every
imaginable variety and degree. It may be consul
ered, as for the most part, in a state of moral and
physical degeneracy. A large majority are born
with the hereditary taintofdisea.se. Their lead
ing men are incurable tactiomsts incapable of free
government—showing, indeed, the same plausibili
ty in writing proclamations and in diplomacy as
the Chinese, but without the practical sagacity to
raise or manage even a saw mill. The decay of
cities, of industry, and population, and the aban
donment of plantations and of mines, everywhere
attest the rapid decline of the countries they have
controlled. Yet I have no hesitation in putting on
record my conviction that, in a few years after Cen
tral America is Americanized, as some day it it,
evitably will be, its crops of sugar and coffee will
approach or equal that of Cuba now, whilst its
mineral products will fall little short of those of
California at present. When I say Americanized,
J use a term by which, with an instinct prophetic
of their destiny, the Spanish and mixed races des
ignate the political predominance of the people of
this Union.
The climate of those regions is at least as healthy
for emigrants from the United Suites as that of
Georgia or South Carolina ; and those emigrants
are not affected by the epidemics which decimate
the native populations. Yel, if, by any convulsion
of nature, all communication could be cut off be
tween the United States and those countries, I am
satisfied that in half a century, and probably less
this mixed race would be wiped out by the Ciiris
ized Indian, and the Christianized Indian in turn
subjugated and assimilated by the Pagan Indian.—
Years ago, in Guatemala, which alone contains
half the population of Ceniral America, the mixed
race would have been exterminated but tor the ac
cident that Carrera, himself an Indian, can control
the Indians, and was gained over by the clergy and
a few families who have bowed to the savage des
potism of a man, on the accident of whose life de
pends the exile of their race. Back of these so
called Christianized Indians are heathen Maya Indi
ans, who will as surely absorb them as they will
the. mixed races. Already these Mayas have rava
ged’ Yucatan with impunity. They are ravaging
it now. In Mexico, the savage is everywhere en
croaching on its effete civilization. In this mixed
race, under various denominations of party, is a
class ot revolution mongers, who have brought
those regions to their present condition ; and they
are determinately opposed to the Americanization
of the country. A majority, however, see in it the
only prospect ot stable government or luture secu
rity for life and property. In Nicaragua, after the
Spaniards were driven out, as everywhere in Cen
tral America, a Democratic party predominated;
but in the reaction consequent on iheir excesses,
the Servile party obtained the ascendancy, lost it,
and again resumed it through an interminable se
ries of revolutions, (sixieen governments having
succeeded each other within six years,) always in
diminishing minority, till dwindled down to a mere
faction, it is, or recently was, temporarily estab
lished under Martinez. That is to say, Martinez
drew men and resources from about one-third of
the country.
The Servile party, consisting originally of the
aristoratic families and old employees of the Span
ish government, and which itself accepts the name
originally given by its opponents, represents what
would be represented in the United States by the
tories of the war of Independence.
As to the legitimacy of President Walkei’s acts
and government, without gross misapprehension or
misrepresentation of facts, his adversaries may be
challenged to show any difference between the cir
cumstances under which Lafayette and Kosciusko
took part in the struggle for independence here and
he in the civil wars of Nicaragua which is nut in
his favor. He was duly invited by the Democratic
government of Castillon, which had proved, by
occupying the whole country, except Granada,
that it had the sympathies of the majority. He re
paired the subsequent reverses this party had met
with. He captured Granada, the sacred city of re
action and of the Serviles, and put down all oppo
sition. He was elected President by a, large ma
jority of voters, almost exclusively the votes of the
laboring classes of the population. He defended
the Territory gallantly against the simultaneous in
vasion by foreign States. He was only temporari
ly driven from it by the unauthorized interference
of a United States officer.
For the position I assumed in a recent commu
nication to the Secretary of State, that but for ihe
intervention of Capt Davis, Geu. Walker wou'd
have marched on Leon—if. indeed, the se go of
Rivas would not have been raised—is abundantly
cot.finned by the recent message of President M
ra, on the 28th ofOc'ober. at San Jose, in which
he says specifically, that Walker’s position at Ri
vas ‘was really superior to that of the Central
Americans,” and that ‘Sn twenty days a dissolu
tion of the allied army w.s inevitable.” It is
true that Mora attributes to his own sagacity what
was accomplised by the interference of Capiait
Davis, and by the seizure of ibe sclmoner •(■rt
nada, ”
The administration through the Secretary of the
Navy, has expressed its disapprobation of the seiz
ure and surrender of the Granada to the Nicara
guans. I beg leave to remark that the Granada
.wasgiven up to the Costa Ricans, nut to the Nica
raguans. But, sir, the censure of a public ..officer
is not the reparation of a public wrong. Tigs in
troduction of American civilization and institqtiojke
into the Spanish American countries, by pacific
colonization or through treaties, all experience
shows to be illusory.
What has become ol all the emigrants who, lured
by the delusive treaties and contracts, have gone
to those countries with iheir engines, their plough
shares, and their tools? Is there now on the Isth
mus of panama, after nine years, even common
security for hfe or property, except under the guns
of a United States squadron ? What has been the
result of the attempt tit pacific colonization in

ized world. When we considei that in Mexico
proposed colonization is lo be limited to the Latin
race, that in the Republic of San Domingo, United
States citizens were specifically excluded, and that

The Arrest &f Walker Repudiated by the Government.
Information from Washington is to the effect that
Secretary Cass denounces the arrest of Walker
and his men by Commodore Paulding, as ille
gal, inexcusable and unauthorized and that Com
modore Paulding will be court-martialed imme
diately. The Commodore’s instructions were in
tended only to direct him to prevent Walker’s
landing. Asa matter of interest, we subj dn
a copy of the circular transmitted to him. The
same was sent to the District Attorneys and Mar
shals of ihe principal seaport towns:
Sir: Fioiri information received at this,dcpaitment
there is reason to believe that lawless men are en
gaged within the limits of the United States in set
ting on foot and preparing the means for military
expeditions, to be carried on against the territo
ries of Mexico, Nicaragua and Costa Rica—Repub
lics with whom the United Slates are at peace —
in violation of the sixth section of the act ot Con
gress, approved the 20tlt of April, 1818. And un
der the eighth section of the said act is made law
ful for the President, or such persons as he shall
empower, “to employ the. lood and naval forces of
the United States and the militia thereof, tor the
purpose of preventing the carrying on of any such
expedition or enterprise from the Territories or
jurisdiction of the United States.” lam, therefore,
directed by the President to call your attention to
the subject, and to urge you to use all due dili
gence, and to avail yourself of all legitimate means
at your command to enforce these and all other
provisions of the said act of 20th of April, 1818
against those who may he found engaged in setting
on toot or preparing military expeditions against
the teiritories of Mexico, Costa Rica and Nicar
agua, so manifestly prejudicial to the national char
acter,and so injurious to the national interest. And
you are, also, hereby instructed promptly to com
municate to the Department the earlie.-t information
you may receive relative to such expedition.
1 am sir your obedient servant,
[Signed]
Lewis Cass.
The Commodore was directed to consider these
instructions as addnssed to himself, and to act
accordingly. Additional instructions, of the same
tenor but more in detail, were sent by the steamer
of the 21st inst., but these, of course, he could not
have received. The Administration is very em
phatic in repudiattt g the octimi of Com. Paulding,
and denouncing it as as violation of the sovereign
ty of Nicaragua and of the American Constitu
tion. Our power over the filibusters, it is held,
ceased the moment thev had entered upon the ju
risdiction ot a foreign power.— Chronicle & Sen
tinel
Correspondence of the Courier.
Washington, Dec. 29.
The fillibuster question is before the Cabinet, and I
is likely to embarass them very much. Some of j
the members are believed to be very hostile to any i
strong and decided measures for sustaining the
President’s avowed policy on the subject. All the
members ot the Administration unite in censuring
the act of Commodore Paulding in sending home
Walker and his party. It is not pretended that
Com. Paulding had any other instructions than to
intercept Walker on the sea and to prevent the
landing of his reinforcements. Messrs. Brown,
Thompson and Cobb are said to disapprove even
of these instructions.
Com. Paulding’s despatches were brought this
morning by Capt. Engle, and are now* belore the
Cabinet for consideration.
I learn that Capt. Engle explains that the orders
were considered sufficient lo justify the Commo
dore in breaking up Walker’s expedition, even af
ter he iiad landed. Walker occuiied a small point
of land, whence he was to move tor the purpose ol
invading the territory of States with which we
were at peace, contrary to the neutrality laws,
which the navy was to enforce. This will, no
doubt, be t the explanation on the part of Com. Paul
dmg.
It appears certain that Com. Paulding has ex
ceeded his instructions, and is probable that he may
be reprimanded tor it. Com. Porter was brought
totrial and suspended for his expedition against
the pirates ofFoxhardo, though hew r as in hot pur
suit of pirates, and trad been sent out to break up
their nests.
It is not supposed that the affair will lead to the
abrogation or modification of Hie neutrality laws as
wilt be propo-ed by Gen Quitman, ot Mississippi.
That measure is not likely to prevail. But still
much fault may be found with the course of the
Administration on the subject.
Walker assumes that he has violated no neutral
ity or other law of the United States in his return
to Nicaragua, of wbich State he is a citizen, and
of which he desires to be the legal Executive.—
He demands red.ress and indemnity from the Gov
ernment.
He is of course loath to be tried upon the charge
pfa breach of the neutrality laws. Instructions are
yet to be given, however, to an U. S. Attorney for
his prosecution under the law.
The Kansas Lecompton Cotistimtion, with ihe
slavery article, has been adopted by a majority of
the voters, at the polls, on the 21st Dee. This
plays into the hands ot Douglas, and embarrasses
the President. The southern men will insist that
their northern Democratic associations shall toe
the mark or break up the party. The South will
listen to no compromise of the matter. The Nor
thern Democrats must follow either the President
or Senator Douglas.

Filibustering in Washington.
[Correspondence N. Y. Herald.]
Washington, Dec. 31.1857-
The Cabinet had a long session to-day. The
principal subject belbre them, was, I understand,
the conduct ofCotnmodore Paulding. I am lead
to believe, from the lights before me, that the ad
ministration will, under the circumstances, endorse
the course pursued by Pauid ttg; for, under the re.
cent treaty the government pledged itself to protect
and secure the neutrality of the Nicaagua Transit
route; and upon this view of the subject the Com
modore’s course will be fully justified, and if I am
n and greatly mistaken instructions will be sent to
Com. Paulding to keep tha. route open, whether
blockaded by filibusters or what not.
It is believed by the Cabinet that Nicaragua had
ratified the new treaty, though no official com
munication had been received on the subject.
It is charged that Paulding’s letter to the de
partment contains several positive falsehood-. He
says ‘Walker “captured goods of merchants in
t ansit to the interior, killed men, and made pris
oner of peaceful inhabitants,” &e. General Wal
ker says there is not one word of truth in either of
these grave charges. The river having been block
aded by Costa Rica, no goods were in transit to
the interior . nor was there a single man killed in
the capture of Fort Castillo, while the wonen on
the steamer Morgan were camp followers—lhe
other prisoners being Costa Rican soldiers, and not
“peaceful inhabitants.”
General Walker has had no intimation vet, as to
the intentions of the government towards himself
and his men. Southern members still crowd his
rooms, and promise to see him fully indemnified.
Dispatches and letters pour in upon him from all
sections of the South, extending sympathy aud offer
ingmaterial aid.
various reports are in circulation as to what
Gen. Walker intends to do, none of which are true.
He will wail until Congress meets, when I am
satisfied, propositions will be submitted by Sou'lt
em members which will meet his approbation. But
they will all fail, for they have not the strength to
carry ther filibustering through Congress. Mark

1 he True Pusiti ,n
In the progress of the discussion upon i}jp ’! s*
sage in the Senate, on the 9th, Hon. JeLciion Da
vis, embodied in the following remarks the whole
argument upon the Kansas issue, completely ex
ploding the rigmarole of humbug and shallow soph
istry in which Douglas and his Black Republican
confederates have indulged :
“Mr. Davis. Mr. President, I think it is prema
ture to discuss the message. Ido not propose to
do so. The remarks of the two honorable Senator’s
on my right seem to be directed entirely to the ac
tion of the convention, and to the phrase about the
people being left free to form their institution in
their own way. I could scarcely institute an ar
gument on a proposition so plain as that the people
may act either by popular vote or through their
delegates; and it is a denial of sovereignty to the
people to say they have not the power to elect their
delegates, and to invest them with authority to form
an instrument which shall be binding on the body
politic. These they might choose by popular vote,
and settle the whole question. They did choose to
have delegates in convention. They might, if they
had so chosen, have directed these delegates to re
fer the question back to them; and so might the
body—politic direct tbe Legislature to submit every
act to a popular vote. It rests on them to decide
one way or the other. I do not understand the
doctrine to the extent of the remarks that are
made.”
The Missouri Republican, ofSaturday morning,
Dec. 27th, has the following leading article:
The election in Kansas lias terminated, as every
body expectsjl it would after tiie agitators refused
to take any part in tlte contest, in a majority rote
for the ‘‘Constitution with slavery.” Governor
Denver has assumed the government of the Terri
tory, by virtue of his office of Secretary of State, in
the absence of the Governor, and has issued anad
dress setting forth the policy which lie intends to
pursue, and the instructions under which he is ac
ting. Lane’s band of ragamuffins, organized under
a law of a Legislature assembled for an entirely
different purpose, and in direct violation of the
organic law of the Territory, are preparing to over
awe the people, first seizing on the arms in the
Arsenal at Lecompton ; and threats are even made
to carry the war into Missouri. The intelligence
from Fort Scott is of a most painful character,
taking the mildest accounts which we have from
that quarter ; and if the worst are true, there is no
telling what will be the end of these tioublds.
Gov. Denver says in his address that Gen. Cal
houn, President of the Convention, has invited him
to be present at the counting of the votes on the
P. H. COLQUITT, E lit or*.
Constitution—showing, beyond ali question, that
he is desirous for a fair count, and this ought to
quiet the nerves of those fastidious gentiemen who
are always dreadfully apprehensive about such
tnatierß, unless the fruits of the dishonesty are likely
to ensure to their own benefit.
The Washington Correspondent of the Phila
delphia Press says:
“it was wisely said to Mr. Buchanan, a few days
a o, by a gentleman w hose opinion he asked as to
tiie best remedy for the Kansas trouble: ‘Change
tne programme ; substitute Cuba lor Kansas, arid
the ()staid manifesto lor the Lecompton Conven
tion.’ The President smiled and brightened up at
an idea wh ch went home to one oi his warmest
feelings and aspirations. All ihe troubles, disagree
ments and misadventures that may occur to him,
in an Administrate n which begins already to bean
eventful one, will be lorgotten in the splendor of
tiie realization of the aim and object of the (Jstend
Manifesto—the acquisition of that magnificent pos
session, ‘Cuba querida.’ ”
The Tennessee Bank Bill.
File feennte Bill of the Tennessee Legislature has
passed to its third reading in the House, and was
returned to the Senate with some slight amend
ments. As there was no quorum in that body, the
consideration is suspended till alter the holidays.
The Nashville Union says, however, that it will
doubtless pass the Senate substantially as it now
stands.
The provisions of this bill are—first, that the
suspended banks shall resume specie payments on
nr before the Ist of Jan., 1859, that after Ist July,
1858, no banks shall emit or circulate bills of less
denomination than five dollars, and after the Ist
Janury, 1859, of a less denomination than ten dol
lars ; that from the passage of this act no bank, in
dividual or institution, dealing in money or ex
change, shall be permitted to pay out for circula
tion the notes of any unchartered corporation or
association, nor shall any bank pay out any notes
except its own or those of its branches; that no
bank shall dispose of gold or silver, or notes of any
bank whatever, for any premium or discount what
ever, and it is expressly declared that ant traffic in
legal currency or uticurrent bank notes is not in
tended 1q be granted by the charters; that no div
idends shall be paid during suspension, except the
dividends of the Bank of Tennessee, or tur stock
owned by the State in the Union and Planters’
Banks ; that no bank shall pay interest or any c n
sideration tor money depo.-i ed with them ; and •
tha’ no bank, while in a state of suspension, sit.ll
sell exchange upon any place iu the United Slates
for a higher p-emium that two per cent.
2d. Requires each suspended bank, within forty
days, to file with the Comptroller General its ac
ceptance of the above provisions as a part of its
charier; that on the failure to do so, the . roper le
gal steps shall immediately be taken lo have its
charter forleited and annulled, and its affairs wound
up; and after acceptance, any failure to comply
with these provisions shall be deemed cause lor
forfeiture, and the proper legal steps shad be re
sorted to to send the bank into liquidation, th ef
fects to be applied, first, to the payment ol is note
or biil-li-dders ; secondly, to the payment of its de
positors and other creditors pro rata; and if after
payment of aii the liabilities of such bank, and all
the costs ot its liquidation, tlieie remains any sur
plus, it shall be paid to tiie stockholders of the
bank or those entitled to the same.
3d. That any President or employee of the bank,
who shall kuowiugly violate its charter or any of
its amendments, remove or secrete its effects, or
conceal its debts or liabilities, for the purpose of
defeating the judgment of the courts, or defraud
ing cr -ditois, shad be guilty of a high misdemeanor,
subject to a fine ot SIOOO, and to imprisonment of
not less than one nor more than six mouths.
4th. That the Act of February, 1852, be repeal

individuals the power of creating any new banking
institution or company ; and so far as to prohibit
any bank now in existence from increasing its cap
ital stock or its circulation.
5 h. That quarterly reports, verified by oath of
Presidents and Cashiers, be made to the Comptrol
ler General, giving full and complete statements of
all the affairs of the banks, and which shall be
published in one of the leading papers of Nash
ville, and also in one paper of the’ county or town
where the bank is located, to commence with the
acceptance of the provision of this cct,
6th. “That the Hank of Tennessee shall, by the
first of Jan., 1859, re-apportii n and divide the cap
ital stock among her several branches, so as to make
equal the amount of capital receivable by said
branches respectively, according to the provision
of her charter. Provided, such re apportionment
shall not tike place until tiie stock of the State in
the Union and Planter’s Banks transferred to the
Bank ol Tenessee, is sold and its proceeds received;
but the amount lost of the capital stock of the pa
rent bank or any branch bank shall be discounted
out of the sum they would be entitled to receive
under this section, it no such loss has accrued to
such parent bank or branch bank.”
7th. That no bank shall pay out any bank note
not on its race payable at the counter whence it is
issued. Provided, that no parent or branch bank,
shall be proht ited from paying out each other’s
respectively, after they have once been issued at
their ow n counter.
Bth. Thai nothing in this act shad repeal or is
intended to repeal, or affect the rights of the note
holders, or depositing creditors of banks, as they
now are by existing laws.
