OuR BANKs.--Our banks are generally
regarded as dead. Their old abuses are
getting TO be somewhat forgotten. The
corruption and distress they spread through
the land have TO great extent healed up.
Few give them much attention now; or
regard them as capable Of doing any far
thcr injury. But the history OF nearly eve
ry state in the Union furnishes instances Of
such institutions rcviving after lying neg.
lected and forgotten for years, and al a
moment of public carelessness again re.
suming their old race of iniquity. There
is something wonderfully tenacious of life
in every thing bad in this world; and Vi
gllance should never sleep as to such
plague spots, until they are thoroughly
eradicated. The pcstiIence may burst out
ia havoc at the moment we least suspect.


We recorded in our last the develop
mcnt of movement in regard 10 our Rail
Road Bank here. We do not believe that
an attempt will be noio made TO revive lis
Banking powers. But there is enough
shown to arouse our vigilance, both as to
this and other banks which would no doubt
at the first favorable opportunity follow
the example and attempt to revive their
old business


There is weapon in the hands Of the
people fatal 10 all such schemes. 1t is the
Briscoe Bill The Supreme Court has de.
cided il constitutional. Let the next lie.
cislaturo restore it to its original shape
before emascuated by the Bankites who
sought to cripple it. Let them restore il
TO The form gwen it by Gen. Briscoe wher
he introduced it, Il is the true constiu,
,ional-common law remedy against cor
rupt corporations. Il is the true way tc
put the dealhblow at once to their exist
euce. II will make the country safe from
their frauds and expressions now, and Sc
cure il from their revival hereafter.


We hope the people generally will con
slider Of this subject in selecting their del
eaates to the mex: Legislature; and senc
only such as are pledged and can be trust
ed 10 carry out The public condemnation
of the loalhsomc carcasses that are lin
I gering in state Of suspense between life
and death among u.s. Sent'aei.
