Tue SAVINGS BANK IN CHAMBERS SrR EEr.-
The management Of such institutions as Savings
Banks must be accurate, wise, and honorable in or
der 10 that reputation and popularity which
give them their true eff cheney and usefulness.
We have heard of recent transaction Of this insi-
tuition, which, If correct, requires explanation
ought to be examined by those whose duty il is to in
vestigate such things. George HUMPHREYS, Of 81
vescy street, deposited, at different times his sur
plus earnings, about 500 short time since, wish
ing to leave the city for the country, he proceeded
to the Bank and drew out with interest," the amount
OF his depostes. lie received S34460, being about
$50 less than he had actually deposited, according
to his own statement, which he is ready TO substan
tiatc on his oath This loss is said to have arisen
from blunder in entering his deposite-no doubt
unintentional the part Of the officers Of the Bank
but NO less injurious TO the poor hard working man,
to whom $50 is a very large item.
1t s very necessary for such institutions in order
to maintain and create public confidence, to manage
their affairs with great accuracy, promptitude and
propriesy. Can anybody give us an account Of the
amount Of dcpostes remaining there uncaled for for
several years backi

THURSDAY, APRIL "a. 1870.
The Fulton Ferry.

Some few years since, when the abuses OF this
Ferry grew TO a most intolerable heght-when the
boats used were old and dangerous, and the manner
of running them scandalously neghgent-the peo-
pie of New York up in their might and majesty,
as wtk the voice Of one man. and had the evil par
TALLY remedied. Before they allowed the power OF
reformation to pass from their hands, they made an
express arrangement that from and after the Is oil
May, 1889 the public were to pay more than TWO
cents for the privilege of crossing the East River,
and much less as the circumstances oil the case
would allow of. On account Of this supposed definite
arrangement the public have allowed the present
lessees to go on unmolested till this hour. The
abuses have still been great; the commuters have
been taxed in shameful manner; most Of them leave
this city after nine o'clock at night and yet have to
pay six cents for their passage; the night boats,
stead Of running every half hour, frequently do not
run more than two hours the boats are all get
ting dirty old, out, uncomfortable and un safe
and all this has been patiently borne by the public in
the confident expectation that after the LIST of May
next, all would be remedied.
But how stands the case! The present lessees
after realizing very large sum, have been making
tremendous efforts to have their lease continued the
abuses perpetuated, and the high prices kept up
The farce of quarrel with the South Ferry, and a
subsequent union Of the ferries is all part Of the
game of vllany which the lessees intend practice
on the publie, who have been abused and imposed
upon already past endurance. The lessees first be-
gan by buying up all the corrupt papers Of Wall
street with large sans for advertising, &c.; they
then enlisted in their of the members of
the Board Of Aldermen, who for a conside ration,
voted the other night for the union Of the two ferries
and the continuance of all the evils which the public
have so long been suffering under The question
in the Of a night two is to be brought be-
fore the Board of Assistants and in all probability
from present appearances it will pass that body,
through the same corrupt influences that have
hitherto prevailed
What are we to do in this case? Look to the
Mayor, on whose veto all the hopes of the abused
public depend. If he has rmness to resist the cor
rupt influences brought to sustain this odous mea-
sure, we may yet be delivered from them. On him
will depend the point, whether the 800 900 formerly
subscribed by the public to effect reform is to be
thrown away-whether the public are to be imposed
upon for FIVE years longer motor whether they
are to have the privilege Of crossing the free waters
OF the East River safely comfortably, and as cheaply
as the bare expenses in cured will allow

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, April, 1885,
Whits, Richmond.-We never take up this periodical
without having our attention arrested for at least
half an hour by admirable article or other from
the pen Of an American Lady. Does the proprietor
OF the messenger" possess monopoly of all the
female literary talent, north well south of Ma
son " Dixon's line! This is question which re-
cures solution, for we find that lady of Pennsylva
MIA has translated charming tale from the German
illustrative OF some of that mystical philosophy
which has proved to the brains of orr
pseudo meaphyscians Of the daily press during the
last year In sooh this tale, which is called ssThe
Iranshgured," and is very pleasing and romantic
history Is Intended to expose and show up the puer
lie absurdities of Animal Magnetism II is very
elegantly written, and most earnestly recommend
its Perusa to all our fair readers whether converts
to the heresy or not. "Sister gnes or the Doomed
Vestal of the Hotel Dieu" is the canton of very
interesting story, which appears to have been col.
lected from some Evolutionary MS. found in the

phica memoir of Shobel Vail Clevenger, the sc1lp-

odicas, particularly the celebrated conversations

of government, and dare say it will have large
sale, particularly persons who intend to visit the

THE Holy SING SING IsaUIsIrIoN-The Wall
street papers still busy exercising their sympathy
and expressing their fellow feeling towards the felons
and conviets Of Sing Sing, account of the very
whole some and Judicious ageation which these
holy rascals receive during their confinement and
punishment there. Master BOBBY Brooks, of the Ex-
press, quotes with great govt the evidence Of
vict and almost ready to go into Mysteries to
Sing Sing himself and suffer some," in that remark
able establishment until all punishment be abolished
and the rations of these rascals compete with
those Of the Astor House. Major Noah is cooling
off little, but still and then, like his ancestors
of old, he shows hankering after the flesh pots of
Egypt. Even Charles King begins to make love to
these rogues.
There never was more ridiculous piece Of char
latanry attempted upon a good natured community,
than the existing horror and indignation relative to
the State Prison at Sing Sing. The whole investi-
CATION and clamor have been got up from the most
ridiculous party spite, mixed and blended with the
ludicrous private reasons which two fair la
dies concerned, the one belonging to the old no
6iesse of West Chester, and the other a parvsnas
who wanted TO get into society and raise circle Of
her own. We have . number of amusing sketches
TO give these points But the idea Of involving
the influence Of party in these matters is the most
prepcsterous imaginable.
We have doubt but all this affair will come out
right, and that events will establish the humanity,
correctness and integrity Of the present managers
The secret manner in which the evidence was pro-
cured, and the mode il has been served ost, create
ut suspicion that the motives Of the Committee
had more Of petty party malignity than humanity or
beHevolence. They have encouraged instruction,
disorder and evils Of every kind in the discipline Of
our prisons, by expending much misplaced sym
patty upon the rogses and rasca there confined for
violations Of the laws. Indeed, we should not
be surprised 10 these scoupdrels attempt an in
surrection, from mistaken impression, arising from
the policy Of certain whg papers, that the wing party
look upon them brothers in misfertune-as fellow
sufferers out OF Office, subjected by unluoky acct
dent to the sd discipline" Of the State PRISON,
and the equally id discipline" Of the loo ofoco
party.
How long will the wing party and wing pa
pers make asses Of themselves when will they
learn common sense1 Who viii have the temc-
rity to buy a penny-wcrth Of nationality and put
IL into their thick heads? N. b. Sealed proposals
will be received for the supply Of the wing papers

sense for year from May next. Applications to
be addressed to the Wing Committee, Broadway

WYE have the pleasure to announce to the pub
lie, that we have jus, received a large supply
of the above named medicines. These medicines
have obtained, both in this country and in England,
a most astonishing reputation, They have been
used with great success in almost every disease TO
which the human system is subject. The leading
principles of the Hygeisn or Morrison theory of
disease, are contained in the following PROPOSE
lions.
1st. The vital principle is contained in the
Blood. I'd. Every thing in the body is derived
from the Blood. Sd. All diseases arise from the
impurity of the Blood. 4ih. Pain and disease
have the anne origin, may therefore be considered
SYNONYMOUS terms. 5th. Purgation by vegetables
is the only effectual mode of purifying the blood,
and Graduating disease. We have sold these medi.
cines in this county for some time, and can give the
testimony of some ofthe most respectable citizens
in the county as to their good qualities. We conf.
IDENTITY recommend them to the public, as a good
article in common diseases. WIN. LONG s. SON.
