Galveston, letter to gentleman in this
city, dated at Velasco, oath inst. states that
the country was very quiet, and emigrants
arriving by thousands from all parts of the

Money was plenty, and provisions of all
kinds scarce. Congress was engaged in
appointing committees. A resolution had
passed the senate, appointing a minister to
the court of Great Britain, to solicit the re-
cogniton of their independence by that

The pressure so much complained OF
elsewhere, is but little felt in this county-
all things go on as usual. Hundreds OF
emigrants have located within her borders
this spring, and all things considered, we
have comparatively nothing to coiaplain of.
This state of affairs is mainly to "a attrib-
uted to the fact Of there being no bank loca-
ted in the vicinity. If we had bank, we
would have our borrowers, spectators, pres
sures, shin-plasters, and all the usual at
tendants Of such institutions the times
are hard, situated as the people here are,
they will be among the last to feel it. An
other cause that operates against the ap-
proach Of pestlence & pressures, is, that we
have few wings and antimasons left among
us. Democrats who were deceived in the
character of Ritner and induced to support
his election, have since deserted his stan
dard, and there is scarcely corporal's guard
left to do him reverence.

.|rHE WEST BRANCH BANK.

We alluded to the fracas about this little
monopoly in our last number, without Civ
ing the particulars. After the disgraceful
conduct of the Antimasons had been eXhlb-
tied in the purchase of the stock OF this in-
stitution, and they had openly avowed their
discrimination to make the Bank political
machine, most of the responsible bidders a.
bandoned the stock which had been previ-
ouslv stricken down to them, and though
two of the bidders addressed the following
letter TO the committee of superintendance.
Wiliam8port, June 2, 1897.
GENTLEMEN:--The undersigned, for three
davs past have been bidding for stock in the
West Branch Bank at Williamsport, with
a view of obtaining it for the purpose of
investing capital in an institution which we
had hoped hereafter might be safe and flour
2 ishing in its operations, and render the in
yestment profitable to the owners. But a
struggle has arisen for stock carried on by
individuals who, we believe, desire to con-
troll the Bank in future, for purposes well
known to themselves, land of which we are
nOt ignorant,) rather than to render it a
source of profit to the stockhoI Idsrs or bene-
fetal to the community. Drt|1 nch a
state of things we must decline AseaHs any
interest whatever in the institution, and
shall bid for no more stock, and what has
been stricken down to us for our friends we
shall suffer to he returned unsoId under the
resolution which you yesterday adopted.
and leave the Bank to the MANAGEMENT Of
those who desired it--being satisfied that
the bank can never prosper, or be successful
under the opposition it must ineUifably en-
counter from the state Of feeling engender-
ed by such collisions.

A correspondent of the New York Eve
ming Post says: claws are only made for
the rich. The Legislature has Just arisen
from a most profound apathy. They want
to legalize the illegal doings of chartered
Banks. Why don't they pass a law, so
that poor man may have year to pay his
debts in2"
How strikingly illustrative ofthe present
state of things. Laws are enacted express
ly for rich men. If they fail by imprudence
or extravaganza, measures of relief are inn
mediately sought and obtained by legal en-
actment. Not so with the Industrious poor
Their half naked and starving children cla-
moring for bread, while the emaciated frames
Of their toiling parents are sinking un-
d Ter the most incessant labor, by which they
obtain their pittance, but no sympathy is
manifested for them. Are these things right!
Should not the blessings of Government,
like the dews of Heaven, descend alike
upon the rich and poor! Then, why this
constant clamoring for laws to relieve the
rich, that are wallowing in ailuence, while
thousands of the honest and Industrious
poor are suffering for want of bread-occa-
stoned by the expressions of the wealthy.

,4necH0te.-The late John Randolph, of
Roanoke, in the year 1913, when the New
York banks suspended specie payments,
had a remittance of some thousand dollars
made him from England. The sum cover
ed the whole Of one Of his tobacco crops,
and the funds were locked up in the vaults
of the Bank of America. Mr.. Randolph
was at the time in the prime Of life, in the
full enjoyment of unequalled popularity
lie repaired to New York, and demanded
his funds in specie. 1t cannot be had was
the prompt reply. at must be had" was
the laconic response ofMr. Randolph. The
bank was incorrigible till the succeeding
day, when the columns of the New Y ork
Columbian announced by advertisement,
that that afternoon at oclock, the Honora-
bic John Randolph of Roanoke, would adj
dress the people on the subject of Banks,
and the frauds they committed, from the
Steps of the Bank of America! It's scarce
ly necessary to say, that before the hour ar
rived, every larthing demanded by Mr.. Ran
dolph was paid over in specie.
A few such determined spirits would be
of great service to community at present.
They would compel the Banks to resume
specie payments-and they would put a
stop the issuing oc shn-plasters.

THE Bitter BIT,-Bicknell, the famous
money broker, after reading the arrange.
ments of the Baltimore Banks, as publish
ed in our last, purchased $4,000 of the
notes mentioned. He sent a messenger to
the monumental city for his change, when
he found that TWO PER CENT. discount was
demanded for all deposites exceeding $500.
He grumbles nightly about the matter
in his last Reporter"

COMMUNICATED.

DIED, in Milton, on Wednesday the
9Th inst, OLIVER, son of MIR. James
Buoy, aged l6 months.
In the death of this interesting child, the
parents of the deceased have been afflicted
with bereavement, the remembrance of
which, time, and firm conviction of an
everlasting felicity, can alone efface. The
deceased, in the full enjoyment of health,
and celebrating the hearts Of all around him,
the hope Of his parents, and the pride of his
relatives, fell a victim to disease called the
scarlatina, and in few days, passed to that
bourne from whence no traveller returns" :"
This interesting little one has sought rest
ing place in the bosom of his heavenly faith
er, who has interestingly invited little chill
dren to come unto him.
"yision of beauty, innocent
Justlit upon this earth awhile,
Then plumed thy wings and homeward went,
No more our moments to begue."

THE MONEY MARKET.

In Philadelphia, money can now be OBJ
tanned at six per cent. per annum and the
"Daily Express" of Newly ork, says that
money has not been SO plenty in that city
for year past. The same paper adds
"the period Of Shaving and Usury is passed
money is no longer employed to buy up
notes." We are rejoiced at this state of
things in those two cities; and we feel con-
fdent that in short time hence we will
hear but little noise about ''the pressure" +"
from any quarter.
Gold and Silver continue at premium
of 8 and per cent. They are considered
as articles of merchandise, and will contin.

through to Wilkesbarro in time for the Montrose
stages, notwithstanding the tardy manner in which
the mail is brought from Harrisburg to us at Nor
thumberand. If any other persons had the convey
ance Of the mails from Harrisburg to Northumber-
land than those connected with the Boats, would
engage to start at the same hour with the Boat at
Harrisburg, and deliver the mail and the passengers
TWELVE HOURS sooner than the Boat Line
possibly can do it.
when the Company runs a stage from Northum-
berland to Wllkesbare, the mail can arrive at Nor
thumberland from Harrisburg by | l o'clock, A. NJ;
but when the Boat runs above, they then keep
back the stage at Northumberland until O'Clock p.

These are facts, which, if the Post Master General
Is not aware Of it is time he was made acquainted
with them.
