Congress, having power to crcat a system of national banks, is the Judge as to the extent of the powers whlLh should be conferred on such banks and has the sole power to regulate and control the exercise of their operations. Congress has also dealt directly with the Question of insolvency of tbe banks and has made full and adequate provision for the protection of the creditors of such banks, and "it is not competent for ths state legialatures to interfere, whether with hostile or friendly intention, with national banks or their officers in the exercise of tbe slnvt.le natura In ss he occupies a singularly affected by the carrying out of the drainage j powers bestowed upon them by the general unique position in history.

VIRGINIANS UNITED ON THE PROJECT Bepahlieaas sad Densrrsti Alike Par Trlhate to Bis Character la Debates Is tbe State LegrlBlatare. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Feb. la. (Special. ) The episode of tbe placing of the statue of Perl Marquette in Statuary ball at the capitol is recalled by the proposition now pending ih the Virginia legislature to place a statue of Robert E. Lee in that noble room. The state of Wisconsin honored the gentle explorer-priest by placing the Mar quette statue in the hall. This aroused the hostility of the fanatics and many of them talked of tumbling the statue down the capitol steps. Others actually did suc ceed In defacing the base decorations, but there waa nothing whatever done in con gress on tbe subject. The Btate of Wis consin had acted entirely within its rights. ana naa sonorea me memory ot one of the most remarkable characters in the history of tbe old northwest. Further than this the attacks on tbe statue were not approved by the people. While the Btate of Virginia is deciding on the Lee statue a similar assault is being made. This time it starts aith the Women's Relief corps of this city, which in bitterly denunciatory reBoluticns de mands that no "traitor's statue" be erected in the capitol. The Department of the Potomac, Grand Army of tbe Republic, wae asked to adopt the same resolutions, and did pass some on the subject, but greatly toned down. It is claimed that there ib to be a general crusade against tbe placing of General Lee's statue in the hall, but it 1b doubtful if it can be prevented without direct legislation, which it is commonly be lieved would be unwise as it would reopen the sectional feeling which divided tbe north and south from '65 to '9&. Virginia, its representative claims, has the legal right to erect tbe statue, and there are many sentimental reasons tor that course on tbe part of tbe Old Dominion, aside from the chlvalrlc leader's captaincy of the confederacy. A statue of Washington is already in statuary hall.. Lee married the daughter of George Washington arke Curtis, grandson of Mrc. Washington, and the adopted son -of the great captain of the revolution. He was himself ot the great revolutionary family ot Lees, and son of General Llghthorse Harry Lee, fol lower, friend and eulogist of Washington. It was Harry Lee who framed that famous sentence descriptive of tbe country's father: "FirBt in war. first in peace and first ia the hearts of bis countrymen." Star Bis Old Frlead. Tbe Virginia legislature proceeded this week to tbe passage of tbe bllL Several speeches of particular eloquence were made on tbe occasion of the debate In ths Old Dominion senate. Senator Wlckham aaid: "Lyt us prepare to place the statue of General Lee in tbe capitol as is our right and Is now our duty. Close by it will stand New Jersey's tribute to General Philip Kearney, one of ths most noble fig ures in tbe hall. The ties of a personal friendship in life and in death associate the memories of the two.

Will Kearney's statue or Kear ney's spirit blush? Let us not only prepare to place tbe statue la the capitol, but let us place It tbere." Senator Harmon, the republican leader In the senate, aaid: "If tbe words and works of such great men as Grant. Garfield, Grtdy and MtKlnley and scores of other repre sentative men. both in tbe north and ia tbd south, are to be taken as indicating the true sentiments of cur common country, I for one do not see why this bill should be defeated or postponed because some war veterans are etill engaged, in imagination, in fighting the battles of 61-'5. It seems to me that forty years of wandering in Lhe wilderness of passion and prejudices en gendered by the war ia enough.
