The Comptroller of the Currency having recently, ascertained, through the reports of Examiners of National Banks, that certain national banks are in the habit of drawing drafts on their correspondents in New York at sixty or ninety davs, rfait of acceptance -waived, ha advised th we Institutions that such issues are in violation of section twenty-three of the National Bank act, which prohibits the issue of post notes. Such transactions subject a national bank to forfeiture of charter under section fifty-three of he National Bank act, and it is tne intention ol the Comptroller to commence proceedings, if necessary, to prevent such practice. Other national banks are in the habit of furnishing their depositors with checks drawn one day after date, instead of on demand, for the purpose of evading the Internal Revenue law requiring a two cent stamp to be affixed to such The Comptroller will ask for an amendment to the act, which will prevent such abuses.

Blow, Chairman of the State Central Committee, who ia said to oppose a bolt, Parker, Congressman from the Ninth district, was made Temporary Chairman. During the afternoon session the Convention permanently organized 1 by electing Judge Isaac Parker President, with a full complement of VicePresidentsand Secretaries.

Considerable time was Sjient in disposing of double dolcgutions from the Sixth and Kighth wards of this city, o-oasionefi by in the primary meetings of thoso wards, bnt lxth sets of delegates were finally admitted, each delegates being given half a vote, A new Central State Committee v.as then elected, and the Convention adjourned until P. M. THE On rensswiibling the follow ing platform was adopted: JGrsoti etl, That we, Republicans of Missouri, reiterate our abiding faith and confidence iu the principles of the Republican party, as expressed in its national platform of 1ST2; and we further declare that lueso principles have received their best exHsition in the great and cardinal measurt 01" President tiraul's ailuunisiru-tion, which we heartily indorse. Jtenolred, That we regard all political organizations founded uxn race or nationality as detrimental to good government. tefioti etl.

That we denounce the recent of the Democratic Legislatures chansrethe investment of the State scltonl fund a consolidated Stute bond, the inter-Kt on which would have been payable at1 the sole pleasure or the Legisla-turej as an insidious attack upon our pub lic Scliool system, imperiling the mi vantages given to the children ol the Slate by a Kepnblican lfgisiature. J.v.s, That, inasmuch as the long-coutiniH'd misraie and inooinpeteaey of administration by our opxinentR in this State, trading to the insecurity of perju and projMerty, the prevention of immigration, tlie utter prostration of business and the most ruinous df pretHHtron of all species of property, have nt last exhausted the. pat'enee of many- good men among the opposition and driven them to the nomination of a ticket piedgod to reform in every department ot' the Stale governii)nt; inasmuch us we have in our ranks, none who sek for themselves theempiy honor of oiht-o, outxide of the opportunity it may give to advam-e the peace anil prosperity of our people: and inasmuch as we feel willing to accept reform from any and all pereous who can give it therefore we deem it the part, no less of prudence than of patriotism, to adjonrn this Couventiou without nominating Republican candidates. Metohed, That whiie we deem it projxr tinder xisting circumstances to refrain from distinctive party nominations for State olhoers, we are yet Republicans, and we earaestly commend to our friend in every part of the State to keep up- their arty aueginnoe and party organization, to with devotion the pot riotism of the past and to nwgle no for advancing here and elsewhere that subc-tion to good governaient, that lve of law snl order which give freiom, saourity and equality of rights to every ciii2u of the Keublic -m LOUISIANaT Governor Kellogg Reports Peace and Quiet.

ko the feir ground in an open phaeton, and looked splended ie as he drove up to the sound of the martial music, and was greeted with loud cheers by the assembled thousands. His speech was frequently interrupted with loud cheers and hearty laughter.

C. Jtakiud. Louisiana now. speaks of Grant' as the firm soldier and quiet magistrate who, when tidings reached him of the doings in Louisiana, in a few words gave the insurgents five do ys to undo their work, as far as their deeds could be undone, and at the same time Dilute such orders for the disposition of troops as gave a grim warning that at the end of five davs the beak and claw of national power tear in pieces the fabric of law lessness and riot. This warning was enough.

The rebels knew Grant, and thev did. not wait for even a regiment. They were willing to take his word for it and to stop if he would. Had the insurrection triumphed last week in Ivouisiana, there to not a Southern State in which white men's leagues, a war of races and a bloody grapple for the ballot lox and State government would not have been the order of the day. i j-- Next door to the matter of good order in" the South, is another question even yet more direct in its relation to the interests of every taxpayer in the land.

I allude to claims on the Treasury for damage donn. Warclainiantsaod claim agents, a multitude w'hicu. no man can number, are swarming in the South and at Washington with demands for the loss and destruction ol cotton and other crops; of timber, build-injrs and other property, and for tho occupation of land by the army during the war. It is proposed to "eet through Congress an act refunding the war tax laid on cotton in the earlv years of the re-liellion. An organized attempt is to be lie to have the State delrt-sof the States lately in rebellion assumed" by ther Vnited States.

These and other raids on the Treasury are afloat. Who is to resist them? Would the Democratic party do it? Look at the lemocrati: record in" Congress and out. Southern representatives of alf parties, as a rule, support every bill for Southern war claims. Northern Democrats do the winp, and even Norther Republicans sometimes yield to the im-portunitUiii of petitioners of questionable, loyalty, whose losses appeal rather to sympathy "th 11 to law and Bills have thus been panted, not so important for the thousands they involved as for the prece- dents they sset, opening door for unnumbered others. When they reached the House for executive had they mhnd there a Democratic or a liberal President, think vou thev would have been vetoed They have found a man.

iiot to be or trapped, and unless the bills fell within certain itef ned limits they have been vetoed. Finding the President a lion in the path, the engineers of thewe claims are half I oil, and this relieves the pressure on Congress. remove the hand of a Republican Presiilt nt, and with the cat gone, how the mice would play! There are many claims tljafmay be paid to loyal suffeiers, and paid by the humane application of nrincinles of" Dublic law. I do not LjNpeak of such cases when I say that he lia bility 01 the Nation lor Claims to oe preferred from the South is to be a serious question in sthe future and one which the Nation- will settle in time, or will repent- at leisure POLITICAL.

The Democratic-! jl oral State Convention met in this city to-day for the nomination of a Chief Justice and an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

The attendance, though not full, was much larger than was anticipated from the nature of the nominations to be made, and the meeting was entirely harmonious. THE TICKET. lion. Wescott Wilkins, of St. Paul, at present Judgo of the Second Distriut Court, was nominated by acclamation for Chief Justice and William Loohren, of Minne-oclis.

for Associate Justice. Mr. Lochren was formerly a member of the State Senate. The Republican nominees- for the same oflii'es are from St. Paul and Minne-oplis, respectively.

THE PLATFORM. The preamble of the resolutions announces that the mission of the Republi can party has ended, and that the party is only held together by the cohesive principle' of plunder; and charges that the Feds-era I and State governments aro run in the interests of favored classes, the latter being expttrptrd from burdens and resjraints, and the whole crushing weight of onerous taxation being cast upon the masses of the people. The first resolution attributes the disastrous condition of the Southern States to the corrupt rule of carpet-bait politicians fostered by the Repnolican administration and party." and duiuands a change of policy wbili will protect both races in. their rights, expel thieves and Insnrw perfect before the law ibr all pttr-tons, witboutt regard to race, color or political ojniion. The s-cond advocates a return to gold and silver, as tho bitssis of tho currency of the country, the resumption of spocie payments as soon as the puuiw interests ill aiiow.

The third declare for a tariff for revenue only none for protection; no Government partnersiup with proteoteu monopolies. The fourth is for hme rnle to limit and localize th I'pw powers intrusted to public servants: 110 The tifth (3lis for cual and exuet justiue to ii n. The sixtii favors a free press and no gag laws.

It is asserted that the murder of Capt. John ReiUy, in Luzerne county, the other day, grew out of political animosity, and was the deed of a hired assassin, working in the interest of a certain candidate for judicial honors. It seems that Capt. Reiily wrote and published a letter in favor of Gen.

1 THB REMAINDER OP THE TICKET was completed by the renomination of the present incumbents, as follows: State Prison Inspector Ezra Graves. Commissioner R. M. Stroud. Associate Judge of Court of Appeals Alex.

S. Johnson. THE RESOLUTIONS. The following platform was adopted: First That the Republicans of New York reaffirm the principles so often approved by the people, and point to the past achievements of their party as a pledge that it is eqnal to every new requirement. Secosd That we demand obedience to the laws and the full protection of every citizen in the enjoyment of his rights against the assaults of Ku-Klux assassins and White League revolutionists, who are encouraged by every Democratic success; this protection to be "given by the States if they can and will, but if the'Statea fail, by the General Government, in strict conformity with the Constitution and laws.

Third -That an armed attempt to subvert the recognized government of a State is revolution, and revolution must be suppressed and the supremacy of law maintained at every cost. Fourth That the public faith must be preserved inviolate and the public debt be paiAia ooin. Fifth That we oppose any inflation of paper currency and indorse the President's veto of the inflation act, and we are in favor of a return to specie payments and of such action on the part of the Government as will speedily secure that result. Sixth That taxation, whether national or State, whether direct or indirect, should be kept at the lowest practicable point permitted dv an economical administration and the requirements of the pnb-lic credit, and should be so adjusted as to be least burdensome to all classes. Seventh That the administration of President Grant has been true to its pledges and distinguished by achievements in domestic and foreign policy unsurpassed in the history of the country.

Eighth That the administration of Governor I)ix, in its purity, dignity and wisdom, has fulfilled the highest expectations of the people, and we point espcially to the management of the State finances as showing the wide difference between Republican and Democratic rule; which. Democratic rule was such, in its profligacy, as not only to consume all the heavy taxes paid by the overburdened people, but sl'-o to take six and a half million dollars from the sacred deposit of the sinking fund, which the Republican administration has now made good and increased the sinking fund from one million to more than fifteen million dollars, thus relieving the people of that indebtedness. Senator Conkling was called upon to address the Convention, and did so at length. He said one of the catch sayings of our opponents has long been that the mission 6t the Republican party is ended; that its worjt was done when slavery and rebellion fell. Have yon ever thought how senseless this cry is now? Look abroad in the land take up one by one the grave public questions and tell me which one of them would be safe without the Republican party and a Republican President.

Look over the South. From the border States to the Gulf, you see prostration, demoralization and discontent. These things are in part the inevitable effects of a vast, sad war, a war forced on the nation and brought on themselves by the white people of the South, misguided and deceived by the leaders of the Democratic party. I say the existing troubles of the Sooth came of the war and its changes and havoc in part, and only in part. Much of the difficulty was of more recent cause.

The worst of the present woes of the Southere people came from the lamentable and suicidal course of men who have been freely forgiven by the nation for one of the bloodiest crimes in the book of time. When the armies of the South had surrendered and State governments had been again set up, no mannot even Jeff. Davis was denied the right to vote. All could vote, and could take part in rebuilding their shattered interests. Indeed, the fact that all could vote wasa grievance to those who still hated the Union.

There was still another cause for complaint. By the votesof three-fourths of all the States, in their Legislatures amending the Constitution, the ringleaders who had taken and broken an oath, beside committing treason, were not allowed to hold office until relieved by Congress. And let me here remind you, that not one who asked to be relieved has ever been, refused. even this even a postponement of the time when those who planned the rebellion might resume their places in Congress was deemed an affront too grievous to be borne. Such, at least, was the pretext, and they set to work to make the worst of their local affairs.

They refused to help; they refused to aid in electing reliable men to aid their Legislatures and to public offices; they exerted themselves to deter capable men from accepting office or taking the part that citizens owe in a free government. Social ostracism, persuasion and still worse means were brought to bear to prevent all who had sympathized with secession from joining in restoring order and prosperity In the reconstructed. States. The avowed purpose was to leave everything to carpet-baggers and the niggers, as they called the victims of their long oppression, in the hope that in this way they might bring suob odium on the measures which bad given to tbe black loyalist the ballot that a political reaction at the North would again seat them in the places from which they had vaulted in rebellion and make them gam masters of the situation. Thus far the plot has failed.

The obstinate obstruction policy of the Southern leaders, miming its aim, has wounded its inventors. Ignorant men, weak men, venal men have seized the opportunity to work their way into places of trust and power. Bad legislation, excessive taxation, unwise and profligate administration, with their trains of evils, have ensued, and now what no we see? Do the authors of this mischief relent? I it proposed by lawful and peaceful means to nght these wrongs? Sot at alL But violence, bloodshed and revolution are the attempted remedies. White Jyesgnerw, Kn-Klux Kians, a war of races these are the remedies a sort of despotism tempered by assassination. luana ami the uncounted murders which liave stained her fcoli since last July.
