FaArDs OF 1926 AND l937.-The famous conspi-
racy cases Of 1926 did not grow out of transactions
equal in moral and financial depravity to the scenes
which have recently been exhibited in this city and
country. AT that period, The Life and Fire, and Sc
veral other companies, suspended specie payments,
and grand jury, after due elaboration, brought up
and indicted every person more or less conpected
with them. Even persons were indicted who had no
other agency than acting in the capacity of broker
for his principal. We have not forgotten these days
Jacob Barker who only sold in Wall street certain
stocks-Fulton Bank we believe-for other persons
was dragged before the criminal courts and tried Sc
veral times fer conspiracy on that occasion.
Yet look at the recent suspension OF specie pro-
jects Every bank in Wall street vic aes its charter
and becomes fraudulent. And not only SO, but the
Legislature becomes parcipaor in the same fraud,
and grossly violates the Constitution to sustain the
same grand piece Of infamy The criminal laws of
the State are plain, and the recent suspension is
gross and open violation of these provisions. If
poor devil had perpetrated such fraud, he would
have been Gagged and indicted, and convicted and
lodged in the States Prison long since. But the
morals of the age have been corrupted by the more
corrupt banking system The principle that sane
tons loan of $50 900 to a corrupt editor under the
name Of "a fair business transaction" has become
the principle of the age.
Yet is certain that we are only in the beginning
of the great and unheard of fraud-ths general con-
splracy to cheat formed by the bankers throughout
the country. We must support it because it is fash
ionable The States Prison is not large enough to
hold all that deserve to 60 there.
SPECIE PAyMsNTs.-Only single, solitary, pretty,
sweet-faced girl called upon US TO redeem Manha,-
tan bank bll-S5.00 Thisls singular fact. When
we advertised to redeem the Chemical bills, redeem
ed $500 in two hours-of the Manhattan only IS
were presented in two days. What is the reason of
this /? Has the Manhattan Bank secretly purchased
up all its own bills in circulation, in order to be pre-
pared to restore specie payments We are nearly
certain that the bank intends to resume specie pay
ments in obedience ts the wish Of the government If
Mr. White does so, we shall support him in the move
ment.

Poor Hermann, poor Juana It is your last
A noise without awoke the lovers. Hermann went
TO the door of the hermitage. There he saw, glitter
ing in the beams of the moon, the rifles of his foes
He drew his pistols, when the officer addressed him.
In the name of the King, lay down your arms!
That ask from you Or the brands of my men
shall fetch them Kill me, but be that they will
revenge their captain
You are in a mistake. Look here.
The officer called the traitor Jeronimo.
They say when Caesar saw Brutus among hls muir
derers, he gazed on him with glance which perse-
cuted the alast Roman" to the fields of Phillipi
Such was the glance which Hermann cast upon Jero-
nmo.
Jeronimo grew pale as death.
"La libertad O la muerte!' Once more Hermann 8
watchword was heard, which in the day of yore SO
often had awaked the echo in the forests Of Andalu
sia. His first shot killed the officer; the second
wounded soldier. Hermann defended himself with
the courage of a lion; he wounded another soldier
and raised his sword TO ceave his head but in this
moment his arm was retained, and Jaana cried loud
ly, He is my brother y
From the beginning of the battle, shehad lain in
the hermitage, not being able to utter word or to
make single motion. The danger of her brother res
cued her into life s@ q s*

in their power The prisoner was brought in the cot
tage followed by a clergyman. AT the same time
tall man in red cloak'began at an elm tree, his hor
nblc preparations; and Juana breathed still and ga
zed on this spectacle. Who paint her grief and
her pains? Madness began to sparkle in her eyes;
with thrilling voice she cried Hernan's name, and
ran in the woods.
When all was ready Hermann was brought to the
fatal spot. He looked rather pale, but went firmly
and without assistance. His eyes searched for some
body. Alas, in vain!
In two moments ne was a corpse! The perform
of the execution parted, and in the forest prevail
ed the former silence. The trees whstled the night
ingale sung and the moon shone on the pale, blush

church yard was not allowed her, for having COM
mited suicide. She was buried at the side of Herna-
nj. There she may dream from all her life, but never
