The Prairie du Chien Union says that the Bank at that place has failed. It created quite an excitement among the holders of certificates of deposit. Numerous deposits had been made just before the doors were closed, and these generally by laborers and a class of people who can illy afford to sustain the loss, There is a faint hope that something may be done to save the honor of the establishment and of the parties who run it.

The Germania Banking company, of which M. Rosenstack, Esq., is president, on the corner of South Court and Second streets, is now in operation, and are prepared to transact business of every kind usually done in a banking house.

The failure of the Bank of Prairie Du Chien, Wis., is announced. It was a private institution, with a small capital. There is now very little fractional currency in circulation below the denomination of dimes, and, as the coinage of the new five-cent piece goes on actively, they will soon be entirely can celed. Congress should authorize the coinage of dimes. This is a kind of currency that would meet with no opy Ation; for no matter what opinion'people may entertain regarding the curtailment of greenbacks, they unanimously indorse the supersedure of the abominable fractional currency. The clerk of San Francisco county, Cal., has received a package of depositions, to be used in a suit wherein the Bank of Hindostan, China and Japan are plaintiffs, and C. Koopmanschap et al. defendants, which has traveled from Hong Kong through Asia, and all the way across the European and American continents to San Francisco. The package is crowded with vernmentstamps, amounting in value to the sum of £2 4s. 4d. sterling.

Is the Included ? The following important decision has been made relative to the application of the banks for return of taxes upon surplus, claimed to have been erroneously paid by them OFFICE INTERNAL REVENUE, Washington, April 1867. Sir: I have examined a number of claims for refunded taxes claimed to have been erroneously paid by the national banks. These claims cannot be allowed as they stand at present, for the following reasons: As the status of 1864 and 1865 were construed by this office, as the amount of undistributed earnings which was employed by the bank as capital was held to be liable to the monthly tax of 1-24th of one per cent. and as also liable to be included in the amount upon which the license of the bank was to be determined, a Certain suits having been instiuted in the northern district of New York, it was held by Judge Nelson that this construction was erroneous, and that the banks were liable only upon the chartered capital. This decision was believed by this office, as well as by the secretary, to be erroneous, and it was for some time in contemplation to take the question before the supreme court for ret vision. But it was subsequently decided by the secretary not to take this course, r but to yield this point to the banks, so be and this was far affected, as future assessments disposition, satisfactory were it to to bey lieved, would be the banks, and as the nature of & comprothat I am not at liberty to it taxes were prior e to in the mise, refund July, so any 1800, which accordance paid with t construction then maintained by this office. Several of the claims herewith r returned purport to be claims of national y banks for the refunding of the monthly 1, tax upon a portion of their capital. e these taxes were actually paid by na1, tional banks, and to this office, the of to as h tax upon claims the section monthly are entitled consideration, capital, had application imposed by 110 has never to national banks.
