ruEgNEc 1T PREsIDENCY--THE BANKS.
l. VENUE was, many centuries ago, city,
greatly com mercial. In 1859 they established
a Bank, mer ely to facilitate commerce; OF which,
from situaAi on, she had no small share.
9 From L tally, banking passedoV to Holland,
and first to Amsterdam, their great Commercial
CITY. And from Holland to England, which
NAV wen b., considered the centre Of the COM
mercial Id The Bank of the United States
was establis he'd by our Congress, in l'9l, under
the puidanc Of Gen. Hamilton, one Of the most
mercuriaI M en- in the world, in his day.
g. Thus we clearly perceive that banks have
heen coetaneoras with commerce, and the real
,s,. mr. ing thereof When Banks are raised, estd-
Nal ID and prOstituted to other purposes, the 81
n.s,., consequences are incalculabe.

ca The Union Bank then will have
no copital on which to establish any
Branches, and must, of course, aban-
don that project altogether"
By the above it appears that the delu-
siye promises held out by the Union Bank,
OF establishing its Branches, have vanish
ed, and that not one Of all its branches
can be established.
This will be serious disappointment to
the numerous Branch Bank Cashiers and
other officers that were to cover all parts
ofthe state and eat out with high salaries,
the substance of the people. To our
friends in this district, and especially in
Liberty and Amite, we would say, that
the bill which Robert ]. Walker carried
through the senate last session, granting
to Mississippi the necessary land to make
a railroad, toll free, from Liberty to Nat
chez, will be Of more essential and per-
manent benefit, than all the paper money
machines that could be put in operation.
Mr.. Walker having carried this bill thro'
the senate last year, we hope and trust,
that with the aid of the ''Mississipi boys"
Brown and Thompson, he will be enabled
at the next session, to carry it through
both houses, and that our Amite friends
will bring US their cotton here to Natchez
on railroad, toll free, it being construc-
ted by the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands granted to this state by Con-
gress as heretofore to Ohio and other new
states.-Free Trader, extra

NEW ORLEANS, 10Th May, 1889.
0-AFTER the exposition made by us
on the LIST July, 1887, of the princles upon
which we had determined to conduct our bu-
siness, you will doubtless be as much sur
prised to be made aware of our suspension,
as we are mortified to be obliged to confess
| it. We think it is due to you, as friendly
to our firm, and to our own character for in
tegrity and good faith, to make such expla-
nations, as will convince you that our en-
barrassments originate from no other causes
than those, which, situated as we were, must
necessarily have actuated US; motives, 10
have yielded to which, may give cause to
impeach our judgment, but which should at.
feet us in no other light. For the confidence
reposed in us from the origin of our firm, we
have to tender our warmest acknowledge
ments: it has more than fulfilled our antici-
pations, and to be insensible to it, we should
be indeed ungrateful; nor do we for one mo-
ment permit the belief, that you will think
US so.-Our business has been of the safest
character, and We question very much If we
shall eventually suffer the loss of 5ne single
dollar by it. The leading, and indeed, We
may say the only cause Of our embarrass-
ments, may be found in the fact, that impel-
led by feeling of sympa ny for our senior
partners and their endorsers, and unwilling
to see them constantly annoyed and harras-
sed by the unsettled business Of our prede
cessors, (the late firms of BULLlTT, SH1pp g.
Co, in this place, and Of SHIpp, FERRIDAY
&. Co., in Natchez, we have inprudently
yielded to the suggestions of impulse; and
have advanced to these firms more largely
than we should have DONE The amount
which we have thus locked up, and entirely
unavailable until the coming season, is but
little short of 5000, 900, which is about equal
to our Capital paid in and our profits. When
We take into consideration, the fact that our
profits have never been extracted from our
business, further than was necessary for our
personal charges, we can safely assert, that
the return of one half of the loan would have
placed Us beyond the reach of accident
During the seasons Of 1898, and 1889, BuIr
LIT, SHnP & Co, have had agents con-
stantly employed in endeavoring 10 collect
the accoulls outstanding in the upper coun-
ties Of Mississippi and Of the very large a.
mount due there, It certainly was not un-
reasonable to suppose, that sufiiciency
would have been obtained to enable them to
reimburse rs Ia the amount necessary to our.
preservation. We have, however, found it
impossible 10 replace any portion Of the large
amount thus loaned, without struggles and
sacrifices, which, perhaps, might have car
ried us through, but which would certainly,
ia the other event, have detracted from our
ability to inject our own engagements. I'M
der these circumstances we have adopted the
