The Bank of Massillon. We learn that the report of Yesterday regarding the suspension of the Bank of Massillon was premature and that its bills were being redeemed at its office this morning. But this is of course but temporary; there is everv reáson to suppose that the failure of Dwight will swamp the Bank hopelessly. It will of course be remembered that the Bank of Massillon is one of the banks chartered under theold system, differing altogether from the State Bank and Branches and Independent Bank, all the bills of which are secured by the highest grade of stocks actually deposited at Columbus.

The purchases of the publie for money continue active, and are increased for the time by the reinvestment of the dividends. This influence, combined with the arrivals of gold, the absence of any fresh unfavorable news of a political character. and the receipt from some parts of the continent of more pacific rumors, has sufficed, in the present oversold position of the market, to induce considerable buying on the part of late speculators for a fall. who are anxious to cover their sales.

8 Failure of the Bank of Massillon. The Cleveland Herald says, this Bank has for years sustained the reputation of being judiciously and honestly managed. It has passed through trying times, when many other insitutions of like nature have failed, and bill holders had been taught to look upon a note issued by the Bank of Massilon as worth its face in gold. Notwithstanding its good name, and its enviable credit, it has been such that the announcement by lightning of the failure of the broker in New York, hermetically seals up the vaults of this Bank and closes its doors. The Bank of Massillon of course had its array of officers, its President, Cashier and full board of Directors; its accounts have been kept with exactness; the Directors have had their weekly meetings and declared its semi-annual dividends and the poor blinded dividends and the poor blinded public has little dreamed that all this formality has been observed inside a mere shell, that all this goodly outside show was but a cover for a heartless scheme of fraud. Bnt so it must be. The officers of this one-man Bank have known where its funds were. they must haye been aware that the least jar to the credit of the man who owned it, would involve in a serious loss the innocent, credulous bill holders, who, looking upon their miserable farce of Bank government as a genuine reality, had salted down the promises to pay issued by the hands of these dummies. What excuse have the nominal managers of this skeleton institution to render to the honest, hard-working farmers of Ohio for the fraud perpetrated e against them ?-Do they say, that the Bank belonged to Mr. Dwight, and like any other man, he has a right to do what he may like with his own! This answer is not satisfactory. The public have extended confidence to 3, the board of Directors and the corps of officers, in the full belief that the affairs of that Bank would be managed faithfully and honII estly for the joint benefit of its stockholders if and the public, and the absorption of the e funds of that Bank by one man, so completely that its credit rested on the uneasy wave of o Wall street, was an outrage and a fraud. It is stretch of credulity to suppose that a dozen men of character could be found, to lend themselves to such uses, to be stuffed W with straw and moved as puppets to do the bidding of a stock-breker. No matter what d the reputation or credit of the debtor may d have been, these Bank officials have been rey creant to their trust in permitting any one man y thus to plunge his hands into its vault. We hope the names of the managers of the Bank OF of Massillon may be published, that Ohio may IS know who these men are, to whom Mr. Dwight can say "go, and he goeth, and come it and he cometh." We wish the mystery of banking could be exposed ; that perfect security to the bill holot der by a deposit or Federal of State Stocks y would be the only requirement, and then an explosion would be comparatively harmless, e and free from panie or apprehension. r,

Its bills are punctually redeemed at the Metropolitan Bank in that city. The Courier learns that the Bank of Massillon, Ohio, has suspended in consequence of the failure of Mr. Ii. Dwight, Jr., of New York. From the official report of liabilities and assets made in August last. it would appear that the bill brokers have ample security.

# A BROKEN BANK HISTORY. The history of the Bank of Massillon, Ohio, and of its operations as connected with Mr. Dwight, are thus given in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, of the 7th inst.: This bank was chartered about the year 1835, with twenty years to run, and is one of the four, with Wooster, Clinton and Circleville, of those old wild cat concerns that has tried to live out its appointed time. It belongs neither to the State banks, State stock banks, or independent banks of the State, but a sort of freebooter, with a license to sin and sink whenever a big swindle can be effected. The capital was $200,000, with the privilege of issuing $400,000 in bills. A few years since Dwight purchased $170,000 of its stock, making him sole controller of its finances, and it appears he has used it for his own purposes. He loaned the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad Company $200,000 of its circulation, taking bonds of the road as collateral security, transferable on delivery. The balance of his circulation, $200,000, has been used West, building the Chicago and Mississippi Railroad; the bank ceasing to do business at home. By the last reports of the bank, Dwight had in his hands $350,000 of its means, subject to sight drafts, and his failure in New York of course burst the bank. Our city banks and bankers saved themselves by a timely demand of specie at the bank. The $200,000 out West has not yet been heard from. It appears that the means of payment will depend greatly on the result of the estate of Dwight.

For the Sentinel. Ohio Banks-A Correction. MESSRS. EDITORS :-I happened to be in the Hall of the House of Representatives, Wednesday afternoon, when the Free Banking Law was under discussion. Mr. Hudson, of Terre Haute, during the course of his remarks, took occasion to speak disparagingly of the present banking system of Ohio, and to sustain his positton, alluded to the defunct bank of Massillon, as evidence of the depreciation of Ohio Bank money on the suspension of any of the Branches of the State Bank. Did that gentleman not know that the Bank of Massillon was no part of the present banking system of Ohio ? Did he not know that it was one of the pets belonging to that old banking system, like unto the one for which he is now fighting ? Its notes are not worth the paper on which they are printed.The Bank of Circleville, the last of the old banks, is down and its bills are worth but from fifty to sixty cents on the dollar. Neither of these banks were doing business under the present law. How is it with the State Bank and its Branches ? During the pressure of the money crisis which is yet in existence, the Canal Bank of Cleveland, and the City Bank of Columbus, were both obliged to suspend specie payment, at d cc nsequently their doors were closed. But did this depreciate the value of the bills put in circulation by these banks ? Not at all. They are just as current now as ever they were, and I have passed bills on both of them in this city, since my arrival.Indeed, your business men will give five per cent. premium on the bills of these banks today, after their doors are closed. The difference, therefore, between the worth of the bills on these two branches and those of Massillon and Circleville, is just the difference between the Ohio Banking law and the law for which Mr. Hudson so eloquently contended. I like to see every dog have his due, and if Indiana is to have banks, certain it is that she can never adopt a system that will surpass that now in existence in Ohio. It would be well for the legislators of Indiana, before adopting a banking law, to become familiar with the principle of the State Bank of Ohio and its operations. A uniform system of banking in the two States could have no other effect than to inspire a mutual confidence and free interchange of currency. As it now is, no Indiana bills are regarded as good in Obio, nor can they be circulated there. A hint to the wise, &c. OHIO.

Logislative Summary. In the Senate, yesterday, after the presentation of petitions and memorials, and the second reading of bills, Mr. Harrison's bill "To suspend for two years, the school library tax," was read the third time and passed, by a vote of 22 to 13. The bill "To enable the Bank of Massitlon to close up its affairs," was passed in Committee of the Whole, and referred by the Senate, to the Committee on the Judiciary. A discussion upon Mr. Moore's bill to repeal the act repealing the ten per cent. law, occupied most of the day. The bill was at last indefinite postponed. In the House, a number of petitions and memorials were presented, and bills were read the second time-after which the bill making partial appropriations for 1860, was read the third time and passed. The following bills were introduced and read the first time: upplemental to an act relating to juries, passed February 9,1831; Supplementary to an act entitled an act prescribing the duties of Supervisors and relating to roads and highways; To amend the 137th section of the act entitled an act to establish a code of civil procedure; To amend an act entitled an act defining the jurisdiction and practice of Probate Courts in the counties of Erie, Lucas, &c.; To amend an act entitled an act of the jurisdiction of procedure before justices of the peace, and duties of constables; To amend an act entitled an act to provide for the appointment of Police Commissioners in cities of the first class.

A resolution was adopted to adjourn on the 27th inst. until the 30th. The report of the committee, appointed to confer with the proprietora of the Journal and Statssman, relative to printing the proceedings, was taken up, discussed at great length, and finally the House refused to adopt it, by a vote of 41 yeas to 57 nays.
