THT mANuATrAN RANK.

Such a Bank as the Manhattan makes more
Anti Bank men and | oco Focos than all the
g Globes or uNew Erasv in the land. But
the Manhattan Bank is no friend of the. Wing
cause, or Wing principles. It's officers are
closely linked with the Administration. Its
funds are always ready for the Federal Govern
mert, to cash is Treasury Notes, and 60 ope.
rate with IFS deposites. Thus such'a Bank as
the Manhattan serves the Administration in
two ways-first, by its money, and secondly,
by the prejudice it creates against all Banking
Institutions, and the solid arguments it puts in
the mouths of their opposers by its really per-
verse, if not criminal management. This the
New Era and the Evening Post here under
stand, for Argus-eyed as they are in all the
Bank movements of the land. they have no
horror for what is done by the Manhattan.
The Manhattan Bank, we now see, even in
the greatest scarcity of money! when 1t could
discount not a dollar for legitimate business,
and for the merchant, could discount 0d libitum
for the Broker-Who with Manhattan money,
could shave notes, at no matter what exhorbi-
tant rate of interest, the demand ofthe lender
being limited but by the necessity OF the bor-
rover, when in point of fact, the Bank Itself
was the direct lender
Such practices as these, it is, thai make the
| Loco Focoism of the country. Honorable
Bauns, honorable Boards of Directors are made
TO share the odium of acts committed by men
whose principles both of thought and action
they heartily condemn. Even the Wing Press
feels itself tramecd at times in the proper de
nuncation due to such acts and such men, while
the Loco Focoism of the day imputes all "tt
Wing and Wing corruption"
The day of retrbution is rapidly coming il
this city for these men who colleagued witt
! Amos Kendall in that moral robbery,-the re.
moval of the Public deposites from the United
States Bank to the Pet Banks of this CITY,
Robbery we call it, because the Bank of the U
.nited States had a moral, if not legal right t
the possession of these deposites, during tn
period for which it was chartered. But not
withstanding this, men whose habits fife an
whose associations well taught them what mer
camille honor was, conspired with Kendall i
, the plunder--frst of the United States Banl
next Of the merchants themselves, in the in
fatien Of the currency they created, the utte
! disarrangement of the Exchanges they cause
and then their subsequnt cruel abandonment
of men whom they had involved, to the tende
mercies of w all Street.
All things are working to the end. Two

Notice is hereby given to all persons having
claim TO the benefit the act of Congress, ap-
proved 22d June, 1928, entitled " An act 10
gram presumption rights to settlers on the pub
lic lands" that the term for availing them
selves of its benefits, will expire by limitation
on 2Ia June nert, prior to which period, every
person having claim is requested TO prove and
make payment for the same.
Notice is also given, that in all cases where
public lands shall be altered at auction at any
time prior to said 22d June, 1910, every pre-
emption claim to such lands not proved and
paid for before the first day of such auction sale
is, by INV, FORFEITED.
But IN all cases where the pre-emption claim
is TO land, the township plats of which shall not
be received at the District Land Office until at
ter the LIST Of June merit, the claima It is allow
ed the term of one year from the date Of the
| receipt Of the plat at the Land Office, within
which to make good his claim; but if such lands
are ordered to be offered at public auction al
any time Ulthin such gear, from the date Of f.
ling the township plat, the pre-emption claim
mustbe proved and paid for prior to the first
day of such auction sale, otherwise it will be
FORFEITED.
Cases having arisen where delay in filing
presumption proofs and completing payment
has operated fatally to the claimant, under ex-

recommended to every claimant, DESTROYS of
avoiding the possibility Of loss, 10 conae foyzcard
and enable the Land Officers TO DECIDE ON HIS
CLAIM, acithin the shortest possible period after

FIRE COMPANIES.

The two Fire Companies of this place to1k

pose of exercise, and to Jest the power Of each
TO through water. And we are pleased to learn
that both succeed admirably well. After ex-
orcising in various ways, the two, proceeded
to the Baptist Church, which has very tall
Steople, when as may be supposed each COM
pany strove to achieve the victory by pouring
the "taAest stream"-both were enabled 10
cast it several feet above the vane, which is at
an altitude Of no feet from the ground, and
therefore much above the highest buildings in
our City. The companies, we are glad per
ceiv ehave entered into the thing with the most
commendable spirit-have procured suitable
uniforms; AID no doubt viii act with great ef-
fciency should fire occur-But in order to
render them more efficient we would suggest
the importance of their being supplied with a
suitable number Of suitable buckets-24 to each
company at least, to pass water from distance
should it be necessary, which frequently hap
pens. There should also be procured prop.
or number ofHooks and Ladders, to be deposit
ted in some convenient part Of the town, to be
used in ascending roofs, and pulling down bull
dings. We would also suggest the organiza-
ton Of a Fire Department; but above all
cautiousness and care on the part Of or Citi-
GERS; and to keep fully insured.

fcotton, for broken bank paper and irredeem-
able shinplasters is only worth 6 cents per
pound, corn 80 cents per bushel, and so on,
what will they be worth when gold and silver
shall become the circulating medium-should
that period ever arrive And rice versa, in
regard to all foreign supplies! w.
The question is frequently asked US .-"ShaI
we ever have sound currency, or any money
at all, again?" Our reply is, not until there is
change in. the policy of our rulers. There is
not the least hope for it-not for either! With
out a medium, part of which shall be paper.
there will be no money; end with such me-
dunn without United States Bank to control
it, 1t willnot be sound currency. AS well
might we expect order in the affairs of our
Government without national head or Presi-
dent And the only way for the people to effect
change in the policy of their relures, is, to
change the rulers themselves-from the high
est to the lowest officer in the Government. 1t
is NONSENSE for an individual opposed to the
policy of Mr. Van Buren, to support man for
any Office who is in favor OF him! He should
not support either. Upon this subject the
North Mississippian says:
The present condition of the money market
IS bad almost beyond endurance, and we see
no good reason to hope for better state of
things IN the future. There is scarcely a dol
laI OF undepreciated, or what is called "go9d
money IN circulation with which a man NAV
buy bread to keep him from starvation. We
draw no picture in thus describing the present
state OF things IN this part of the county but
We are merely rehearsing what we hear, upon

Dout US. What Is to become of this distress
when will It end and where! Is the country
