DErAULrERs.-The time was when the de-
falcation Of a receiver Of the public monies
would have excited intense interest throug hout
the country. Such cases, however. having lost
their novelty cease to excite surprise. or even
the indignation Of the public. except to very
limited degree.-Poulson's Adrertiser.
The lenity with which such cases are looked
upon BY the public. is the natural fruit OF the
general dsmoralsation caused by a vicious cred
it system, the gambling mode Of business in
seParable from il, aud the repeated suspensions
which follow. The divisions between right
aud wrong have thus become in a measure OBJ
litersted Policy is received as an excuse for
a multitude of sins and almost every wandering
from the line OF recttude has its admitted pal
lia,ion. Ifhowever, it is desired to check de-
ialcation in public officers. the Independent
Treasury Bill has clause which renders the
defaulter a fclon and ensures TO him the calm
sequestrstion Of the penitsntisry for term Of
years. where in cool repose he can reflect upon
the difference between noun and tuua, while
serving as an example TO others.

A SERIOUS coNsIpERArIoS.-The Charles.
ton Mercury in an article upon the crisis asks,
whether it is to be admitted as an established
part of oui system that Banks may suspend
whenever the ballsnce OF trade is ac ainst u,"l
Recent events certainly look very much like it.
Within the short circle of four years, we have
twice run riot as purchasers, and have twice
met the demands OF creditors by shutting down
the strong box.

Nudge and Mr.. Fea,hcrstonhaugh have con

disputed territory, and have proceeded to Que

the Times, that can be fully depended on as to
the result of their investigation; but adds as
the rumor that no highlands corresponding to
the terms Of the treaty have been discovered,
except at the source of the Penobscot. where
they are said to be " decidedly and distinctly

GEORGIA ELECTION.

The Globe of Friday published the following
letter. which, it says. " is from high source.
md implicit credence may be given to its state
menls: :"
MiLLEDGEvILLE, Oct 10. 1899.
GENTLEMEN: The returns from all the
counties are now received. with the exception
of three. and am happy to inform YOU that
our triumph is complete. The majority for
Governor will be about LOO: in the Senate
Is. and in The House Of Representatives H.
" This is certainly glory enough for one cam
paign." II is amusing TO see how the Oppo-
sition presses in the State are attempting to ac-
count for their defeat-some attnbuting it to
one cause and some to another; but assure
you il is but triumph Of the Democracy OF
the State over Clayism, Federalism, Bankism,
&c. No Clay ticket will be run here, and the
State is perfectly safe for Mr.. Van Buren, and
our opponents know it,"

/. VIRGINIA.--At an election held in the Kan
ahwa Senatorial District. in Western Virginia,
on Monday, tho 1ith instant, Robert A.
Thompson, the democratic candidate, was e.
lccted to the Senate by majority OF several
hundred over Daniel Smith, whig. This e.
lection was to supply the vacancy caused by
the resignation Of Benjamin H. Smith, ~hig,
who had represented the district for the period
Of six years. According to the Richmond En-
qnirer, this gives democratic majority of six
in the State Senate.

TnE LAST SPECIE DOLLAR We scarcely
ever meet with the announcement Of a suspen-
sion OF specie payments by the banks of city
or state. without remark in connection with
il, TO the effect " that il they did not suspend
they would be drained of their last dollar in
specie"
And ifthey are drained OF the last dollar in
specie, We would ask. is the position of the
banks towards their share holders or the holders
Of their liabilities. either better OF worse Sus.
pend they do-that is certain. OF what possi-
BILE use TO them then. or benefit to the commu-
nifty, is the specie they thus bury IN their
vaults IL any one can point out this use, this
benefit, in specific terms, we should be very
happy to hear him.
But not only is the spesie they bury thus
wantonly ofno use to the banks themselves, or
to the public at large. but it is possible. nay at
this juncture probable, that II they paid il out
without stint, their suspension OF specie paw
mcnts would not become necessary at all. and
the evils which inevitably flow from their sus-
pension all be avoided. We do ask uar,icular
attention to this fact which strikes us at thi.
moment of the deepest interest. The bank. in
the Uniicd States hold in their vaults. on the
lowest calculation, fifty millions Of dollars. Ii
is the demand for specie which compes them

This cannot be denied. II there be another
cause which oompels them TO il, ", should

ment whence the source or cause of TIN, specie

will deny that one halt the amount of sp,c,e IN

0F"Large meetings Of the Merchants were
held in New York last week to devise measures
of relief. They called upon the bank, for aid,
and the Banks answered in substance, that they
mus, aud will sustain specie payments, but will
afford all the aid they possibly can. 1t is said
that the banks extended their discounts consid-
eraby during the week.
The Evg. Pos, Of Monday, in allusion to the
great meeting of the Merchants on Saturday
evening says, " it resulted in the complete dis
com6turc of the irredenmaLis party, who arc
chiefly composed of those who suspended in
1897, or received extensive accommodations by
extensions, aud that noisy clique who raised
the hue and cry against the Phenix Bank
and were the political asitators at that time
But we are happy TO say that we have con,ers.
ed with large number Of sound merchants
who deprecaic the proceedings of this clique
and will not tolerate a suspension under any
circumstances"
