 ; INTERPRETING IMPORTATION FOR STocKHoLp- ERs.--lt is stated, on responsible authority, by writer in the Pennsylvania, that millions of dollars of the suspended debt sf the United States Bank, occupying nine folio pages of the ledger, con ssts of loans to active and prominent Federal whigs, duringhe last few years and some of them recent ly 1899 and lS4O.
 To Thomas l.. McKenncy, there is charged the enormous sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dol lars!
 To Daniel Webster the small sum of one hundred and ten thousand dollars, 2S, 900 of which drafts in 1889 and 40. To John s. Riddle, the moderate sum of one hun dfed thousand dollars! And to politicians in general of the Federal pars.. an :...--~ of for te hate and former Presidential elections, tii sacrificing the money of the widow and orphans tt promote political success al the polls.
 This suspension debt includes, we presume, tho 605 7S0 dollars loaned members of Congress ,fo the purpose of bribery in 1880, 3l '32, 3S and '34 It is stated that some of the persons to whom these immense loaned, being sued have filed af 6davts swearing that they paid the bank in services meaning thereby political services, voting as. thu bank directed and eectioneering and bribing tn, people.
 There is only one thing more that the public sl,ou, insist upon-that is, the full, specific exposure 0 every purpose to which this suspended debt wa applied and the criminal prosecution of every frau dulent officer ofthe bank-Nick Riddle first.

The Inconsistencies of some folks about amusing they absurd. Here is the Mobile Advertiser, which has vindcated Riddle in his dis honest practices, and is uproarious for National Bank, thinking, withoutonc the country will go the deuce forthwith, is now abusing Mr. Payne, it says, for having entertained some vague notion about bank with a capital of $l00,000,0O0
 Now we should imagine this to be one of the best recommendations of that gentleman 10 the support of whggery. Let now many votes they will give him!
 By the way, would suppose that this indirect abuse of bank, through Mir. Payne, is a tacit ad- mission that the Advertiser only supports such sure in its columns from party necessity Wonder if some of the notions entertained by the editor when Jackson-man, do not exert an involuntary influence over him. Conscience, it is said will ,indicate it. self in despite of party trammels.

 The stories told of her very contradictory, and may all be false. No facts have yet been furnished that can be relied on. People are disposed to grasp at any relief from the dreadful anticipation of so much destruction of human life-so many of the tenderest ties severed and hopes destroyed.

THINGS IN GENERAL,

Coombe's work on the "Consttuton of Man, ? contains several statistical tables collated from the different parish registers of England and other sour ces. which clearly prove that the average duration of life is about 15 per cent greater than it fifty years ago The causes assigned for this astonishing fact, the superior comforts of the poorer classes the diffusion of knowledge subjects of physiology. better morals, and temperance. Probably intemper- ance IS amore active cause of premature death and crime than any or all others. The following table from an English paper, of the comparative return of crime in Ireland for the last four years clearly proves this fact, and should be powerful stimulus to the temperance exertions of phanthropsts every where. Unhappy Ireland is setting example for the world, and her clergy demand the profound reverence and gratitude of all nations, for their be exerons in this noble cause.

 '.1he Chamber of Commerce of this city. having at recent meeting, taken into consideration the sub ect of the proposed change in the period of closing the season, agreeable to the suggestion of the New Orleans Chamber, have adopted resolution concurring in the proposed alteration. They also appointed committee to wait upon the Editors of the different Prices Current in the city, in order secure their cooperation which,a far have heard has been readily yielded. For our own part, we consider the change judicious one, and shall cheerfny &C., quiesce in it's adoption.

The New York Journal of Commerce, in speak ing of the recent fire in that city, makes the following re- marks:- ..
 ''The history of this fire shows that however ad- vantageous close iron shutters may be in defending store from fire originating in other buildings they n of danger the of fire orig ina ting in the store itself. Had the store l46 Pearl st. been without shutters, the fire would have made very little progress before was discoyered and so would have. been speedily extingushed As it was the whole store on fire before it was known that there any danger. And before the engines arr rived, (which was not many minutes ) the flames were bursting through the roof like volcano, and had communicated to the adjacent stores. If iron shut ters are used,-which appears to he necessary as protection both against external fires and thieves,- there ought by all means, to be aperture, several inches in diameter, through the middle one of each story. Then, by leaving window open, the pre- sence of fire would immediately make itself known hy the escape of smoke through said apertures into the street, where t would readily be scented by the ol- factories of the wachHcn, other persons who might happen to be near.
 con another point we must make a remark. vast amount of property was saved from destruction at the above fire. by the substantial partition walls rising two or three feet above the roof. Without this latter provision, partition wall however sub stantia, is to be depended on: At the great fire in December, 1885, the flames passed from store to store over partition walls not rising above the roof as rapuy almost as II no such wall had existed. It would have been so on Satgday morning, but for the defence interposed by the brick above the roof This defence too enabled the ircnen to stand upon the roof of the store defcaded, (with the hose drawn through the scuttle from below and beard the lioni his den. Without ihis protection, they could not have endured the torrent of fire and sloke which would have come upon them.
 "One more thing must say. The knowledge possessed by the fremen, that the stores in tie ''burnt district" substantially built encouraged them to encounter the enemy at close quarters; whereas, had't they expected every moment that the walls were to tumble down, they would have been

democratic meeting is to be held this evening at
 the market house. This is the only assembly of our
 citizens that can be held before the election which is
 to give us federal or democratic representation in
 Congress. Will any democrat be so careless of the
 duty which he his principles and his party as not be present encourage his friends to the contest
 This election tomorrow is fye-fold as imporantto to every man in the State the election for the same offices last year. Every citizen tomorrow has the privilege of voting for five where, last year, he coul vote for only He has the right of making his suffrage perfect in it's character by preserving his State integer in the union. and not a whole composed of five provinces. The general ticket law of the last session. establishes oneness of interest throughout this commonwealth, and secures a repre- sentation of conflicting interests but of unanimy and therefore of increased moral and political force in the general Congress- We shall have at the next ses- sion adverse interests to advocate We shall have section of the State dividing the majority of the people, and representing them in parts. We shall, therefore, have nore perfect embodiment of states-righs--a stronger wledgement of state sovereignty than we ever had before at Washington. This we consider argument enough for the propriety and justice of that law.
 The whigs, by the grossest violation of all common sense; by species of reason totally nadmissble and preposterous, evadng the great questions of public policy, have endeavored to influence the people in contest on the subject of this mode of representation. They know full well that this State IS thoroughly democratic and they have no hope, ex- cept by deuson and sophsty on this subject, to de. inde the people into support of their candidates.
 Now we have always placed too much confidence m ou' citizens to suppose that such an attempt can divert their attention from the subjects of greater m- portance which are involved in this election.
 If there be any one of our pal ty (and we do not he.
 eve there is one) who regrets the passage of the gem era ticket law, would it not be the simulest sor, or foly-the widest kind of aoodieism-to remain nac. tive for this reason at the hazard of sending five rank federal whgs to Congress to misrepresent the opin. ions of the Stateand to inAct upon it the od;um of having deserted its politics and lent its aid, against
 s convictions, to the support of a national bank-a protective tarf-he distribution of public lands, and, as consequence distorted by the whigs, the assunp ion of the debts of the Statesi If there be demo. 'rat who has so much of the spirit of an Arnold in
