Broken Banks

The St. Louis brokers decline taking the notes of the following banks: Bank of Connersville, Indiana. Kentucky Trust Company. Lafayette Co. Bank of Connersville. Newport Safety Fund, Ky. State Stock Bank at Peru, Ind. To this may be added the Elkhart County Bank, which the Chicago papers say has also failed. We believe these banks are all "Stock Banks," and although they are reported as broken, note holders should not suffer a heavy shave. They are not "broken," but "suspended," and it is thought the holders of notes on them cannot lose, as for every dollar of their issuess, there are State Stocks pledged for their redemption.

News of the Morning

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.-The Africa arrived on the 19th. Peace Conference still sitting, considering minor details. Paris has been illuminated in honor of the peace, and the Orleanists and Legitimists took a part in the illumination. No news of importance from any quarter. Markets active. Iron in good demand. Provisions unchanged. The President and several members of the Cabinet visited Annapolis on the 18th.They were received by citizens in the Senate Chamber of the State House. Mr. Pierce replied in a happy manner. The next day, in company with the Governor and Secretary of State of Maryland, with other officials, they inspected the Naval Academy. Milton L. Latham was unanimously confirmed Collector of San Francisco on the 19th. The South Americans have carried the city of Augusta, Ga, at the charter election. SPECIAL Tax.-The City Council has ordered a vote to be taken on the 30th inst., to authorize the levying of a special tax. We are requested to state that this order was passed not because the Council has determined upon, or even contemplates, any unusual or extraordinary appropriations for any purpose, during the ensuing year. The object is to provide against contingencies. It may happen that the Council will need more means than are at present provided, and in such case the law makes it necessary that the election ordered should be held by the time specified. If the vote should be in the affirmative, the Council will then be clothed with the necessary power, and can then exercise its discretion. We observe that the Mayor's proclamation does not prescribe the form of the ballots. The Auditor of the State of Indiana gives notice that the notes of the following Free Banks have been placed in liquidation, and gives notice to the holders of the notes of said banks to have them at his office for redemption on or before the first day of Oetober next: Traders' Bank at Nashville: Elkhart Co. Bank: Bank of Connersville: Bank of Attica; State Stock Bank of Indiana at Peru; Wabash Valley Bank : Bank of America, at Morocco: Bank of Albany; Bank of Bridgeport; Laurel; Orange Bank Green County Bank; Atlantic Bank; Bank of T. Wadeworth; Traders' Bank at Terre Haute; Drovers' Bank at Rome: Farmers' Bank at Jasper; New York Stock Bank at Vincennes; Plymouth Bank. The Keokuk Post (Republican) comes to us with triumphant rejoicings over a great victory gained over the Democracy of that city, who insisted upon running a ticket at the municipal election, upon strict party grounds. The Independent or opposition ticket was elected by a strong majority.[Dubuque Republican. The Keokuk Post pretends to be independent, but is at least anti-Republican, whatever else it may be, and didn't rejeice very much over the election. The Times is the regular, and the Post is the irregular, Locofoce paper in this city. The Gate City is the only "Republican" journal.

The condition of the canal in commencing business the present seasoa is better than usual. Every part of it has been put in the best repair, and the three additional new inclined planes add very considerably to the capacity for work and to the facility for doing business upon it. After the completion of the two planes now begun there will be but two more to be rebuilt, which it will be the policy of the company to reconstruct at their earliest convenience.

The report of the Williamsport and Elmira Railroad fully explains the difficulties which the company encountered last autumn during the financial pressure, and the measures adopted for the extinguishment of its floating debt. The movement was originated and approved by the leading bondholders, who believed that their bonds would be essentially and permanently enhanced in value by finally funding the floating debt. The signatures of more than three fourths of the bondholders have already been secured, and the floating debt itself is almost entirely signed off. The coal business, suspended the past six months, is about being resumed, and the iron and lumber trades are already active. The Northern Central road opens the Williamsport and Elmira gailroad to Baltimore in June, and also by two new routes, the Pennsylvania Central and Lebanon Valley, to Philadelphia; and the completion of the Quakake branch of the Catawissa read in July to the Beaver Meadow, will place New York as near to Buffalo by way of the company's road as by the Hudson River and New York Central roads. The managers express the belief that, with all its opening prospects, and with its finan-
