P ur c «''t- upon the average amount ol their circulating notes outstanding_ I N'T ar " •*> "•<|ulrcd to pay one-haff of oik, per cc*nt. upon the average sum of their deposits and a like rate upon the mean amount of their capital stock not l{iv«»ted in United States bonds. Now, the aggregate of such duties paid to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue since these institut if um warn institutions wero present er with pass or organized liait reached by July 1 of the present year upward of $80,000,000. One object in imposing these taxes was to make the system self-sustaining, so far a- cost to the Oovernment was concerned ; but as a matter of lact the entire outlay for the olliee of Hie Comptroller of the Currency, from its establishment until date, has fallen short of *6,000,000; that is to say, it represents about a twentieth of the sum turned into the Treasury by the national lianks. Nor is it to be looked that the whole of this large lias been collected without expense to the Government. From the returns made by tlgi national hanks during a lerm of years following 1870 we can frame a trustworthy esti mate of the entire contributions levied for State purposes within that period.— The aggregate sum thus paid cannot he placed lower than a hundred millions, and we observe further, that while the ratio of the State tax to the capital stock of the hank was lower than that of the Federal impost up to 1812, yet since that year the reverse is true. At present the whole burden laid on these Institutions by the national and State Governments represents on an average three and a third per cent, of their joint capital. And here it may lie interesting to note some of the dilTerences in percentage corres ponding to geographical divisions. It is In the States of New York and Nebraska that the hanks are most heavily taxed, the ratio of ini|K>sts to capital there reaching four and six-tenths per cent.— Then come the so-called Granger States, where the rates vary from lour and a third to three and a third per cent., and next New Jersey, where the ratio of tax ation to capital is almost identical with the last named figures. Distributing country into large sections, we find |>erccntage of tax to hanking capital lar gest in the Middle and Western States, being severally stated at three and six tenths and tliree and five-tenths percent., while It only reaches two and eight tenths in New England, and but two and seven-tenths per cent, in the Southern Slates. Taking the whole country to gelher, the ratio of Stale imposts to the capital stock of national hanks during the year 1811 was one and nine-tenths per cent. In other words, the sum levied for State purposes about onc-tliird larger than that paid into the Federal Treasury. The remarkable inequalities in the rates of taxation laid on hanking capital to different municipalities may he illus trated by returns from some of the prin cipal cities. For example, in New York city the total sum drawn from the hanks for all fiscal purposes actually represents live per cent, of their united capital. In Cincinnati llie ratio is four and six tentlis per cent., in Milwaukee it is live per cent., in Chicago five and eight-tenths por cent., and in Albany it touches the surprising figure of six and two-tenths per cent. Turning from ratio to aggre gates, we find that the hanks of New York city alone paid in the shape of taxes more than three million dollars during the year 1877. One effect of these high rates of taxation may be discerned in the reduction of capital and surplus by the New York city hanks. The total decrease which has occurred during the last live years, if we include the national and State hanking institutions in this municipality, falls hut little short of lliirty million dollars.—-V. l r .

CJaik, a poor farmer of Indiana, ,'orse each year, picked up his traps and abandoned his family, consisting of a wife and two little girls, and striking toward the Wa bash river hired himself out as a llat hoatinan and shipped for New Orleans. From New Orleans he drifted to Texas, ami that was the last, ever heard of him by his family until they heard of his death, which occurred about fifteen His wife was then dead and wliiist; circumstances became years ago. both of his children had married, one re maining in Indiana, where she now lives, the other removing to Kentucky and lo cating in Hardin county, about three miles below Stephensburg. When Clark died he owned an estate in land and money, valued at something near $3. 000,000, in Wharton and Richmond counties, which, in the absence of any known heirs, escheated to the State. Bo gus heirs presented themselves, however, ami instituted suits, and it was a news paper account of this litigation that first led to the discovery' by one of Clark's daughters, Mrs. Marinda Buckles, of Hardin county, Ky., that he had left an estate. She put the case in the hands of her lawyers, and is confident ot securing with her sister the property, which is still intact. Passengers and crew were saved. She had a party of tourists on hoard and a quantity of merchandise.
