lii addition TO the very interesting iniorma-
ton on the subject of the Banks OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia, we are now enabled to
state that the bill which Congress Was pleased
graciously 10 pass for enabling all the banks Of
this District to apind up, received the sigma
ture of the President of the. United States
on the, night of the Sd, by which means the
stockholders, &c, in the'banks were barely
saved from almost total and irremedable dcs.
truction of their property. Upon examining
the act of Congress of 1888 concerning the
Union Bank, (applied by the new act to all
ether banks,) We fnd the following among
! the provisions Of it, of which it is we'll that
Iall our readers within the District should be
fully apprized Nat Int.
