ultimo, and arrived here al IL O'Clock, on
Saturday evening bus making her pas
sage in the remarkably short time OF IA
days and hours.
The important news Of the suspension Of
The United States and other Pennsylvania
banks had not then reached England, al
though ii seems to have been conecturalIy
anticipated in some OF the public prints. In
The meantime, Mr.. Jaudon had succeeded
in "raising the wind" To the tune Of four
millions of dollars, or 100000, from The
Bank OF England the stock of which was
then quoted at los lc2 in the London
market! instead of Cd and as as il is here
now. The effect OF this loan may possibly
he to raise the stock little here for few
days, but its reaction upon the Bank Of
England will probably be tremendous.
This transaction Of The Bank with Mr.
Jaudon is looked al already with a great
deal of suspicion by the mercantile and
monetary community of Liverpool, and
the money market articles from the 1lth
to the evening of the 18th. uIf., inclusive,
speak OF it as a very questionable and mys-
,erous question. One Of them says, '' the
public must be content with what is per-
mitied TO be known, but will naturally look
10 the result with no great confidence so
long as this reserve is maintained"

the refreshing rains and dsws Of heaven fall as
freshly ON our fertile fields as ever, yet IN the
midst Of peace, health and plenty, we see the
business Of the country crushed, and its lies
blood sucked out by these vampires. This ex-
tract shows the way PhiladelPhians gull Mis-
sissippians
mississippi is undoubtedly one Of the veal
thiest States in the Union, so far as regards the
natural fertility Of her soil-the abundance and
value Of her staple products-and the energy
and industry Of her population. Such victiR
was deemed worthy of the most elaborote in
trigues Of the managers of Phladelphia Bank
;ng Her citizens were seduced into excessive
enterprise by profuse accommodations furnished
nv the Bank ofthe United States and its DEEPEN
dent institutions. Immense sums were invest
ed in plantations and fixed improvements as
we'll as stock, under the most sanguine exPec'
tations Of realizing suficien. profits in short
time, not only to pay off the debts thus lavishiy
incurred, but to leave large fortunes to the bor-
rowers. The sudden fall Of cotton in 1887, rem
dered il impossible for them to meet their en-
gagements The local Banks suspended with
a vast amount of obligations outstanding. Near
ly every citizen in the State had become deeply
involved, and all were importunate for RELIEF.
The Legislature readily acceded TO the plans
evidently suggested from Philadelphia. of which
we can only give the results in general terms
A great Bank was chartered, the authorised cap
ital of which was fifteen millions Of dollars Of
State bonds, bearing interest payable at Phila'
delphia, New York or London. The law pro-
vidcd, with great apparent caution, that these
bonds should be solo only for specie, in order to
form the basis Of operations sufficiently extern
sive to restore credit throughout the State. No
offers were made for these bonds within the
terms of the law. II had happened, however,
that the vast transactions of the Bank of the U.
S. in that quarter, had brought within its con-
troll, claims against the Banks of Mississippi to
the amount OF several millions of dollars They
were induced to proclaim a resumption of specie
payments, under the expectation, If no direct as
surance, that their principal creditor would not
press for payment, but would accept interest on
its debts, following its previous course in 1914
| in this respect. The claims upon them accord
| ingy became CASH, in the phraseology OF Phlla'
delphia Banking, and about five millions of the
State bonds, from which tho capital OF the Uni
on Bank was to be derived, were exchanged for
them at par, as 90 much specie under the terms
of the law. Instead Of the basis Of healthy cur
rency which was to diffuse vigor and credit into
all the channels of business, the new Bank got
nothing but the paper of the other Banks, which
Immediately suspended a second time, and at
once transmitted its specie capital into SHIN
PLAsrERs. bearing discount of from ten to fif.
ty per cent. By this brilliant stroke of financial
skill, the currency of the State became more de-
preciated than ever"

THE NEw ORLEANS NATIVE AMERI
CAN AssocIATIoN-Through its organ
says that they are not banded for politi
cal purposes, and that they are not Of any
party. No doubt some soft ones have
been drawn in by such assertions. The
"Native American" may make the ma
rines believe such stuff, old sailors know
better.
How is 1t that no respectable Democra
tic Journal in the Union, nor prominent
democrat in America, has taken part with
the association, nor gave it countenance
but the broken down federal politicians
and the disappointed, as we'll as the mean
er part of the wing journals seize on il
as hobby. The wings, like drowning
men, catch at straws, and are ever ready
TO attach themselves to every detached
faction of the democracy, no matter for
what broken of.
Naturalized citizens as ell as foreign
els, have ever been a mark at which the
federalists shot their poisoned arrows -
If il 10 common cause, why do not the
democrats as we'll as the federalists take
side with the "Native American Associa-
toni" We will conclude with an extract
from an article in the Baltimore Repub-
lican in the language of which we clothe
our ideas on this subject:
at is surprising to witness the vindic-
tive feeling which is displayed by the
wings towards naturalized citizens. The
trainers of our constitution designed that
this country should be an asylum for the
oppressed Of other countries, and that they
should be received with open arms, and
admitted to all tho rights and privile-
ges of citizens. But the wings regard
that provision in our constitution with
manifest displeasure. 1t is evident that
lift were in their power they would change
this feature in that excellent instrument
and deny to all emigrants from other coun'
tries; the right ofever becoming citizens
Of this country. At one time they pour
forth denunciations aginst the Irish, anc
apply to them every opprobrous epithe'
that they can devise. At others theil
anathemas are pronounced against the
Dutch, All who have had the misfor
tune to draw their first breath in foreign
land come in for share of their hostility
But fortunately for those persons The
wings have not the power to carry thei
wishes into effect.
The Raleigh Star seems to suppose tina
the greatest insult that can be given t.
the Democrats is to call them Dutch, an,
accordingly attempts to amuse its reader
by calling them Dutch troops and 'Dutcl
editors We can assure the editors c
the Star that their calling us Dutc
troops and Dutch editors does not oc
casion US the smallest uneasiness. w
have not the least objection to being a:
