thus cut short, even the sisters Of Ellen be-
gan to look upon Seymour with more leni-
tv, nor was this good feeling at all lessened,
when an cldeiiy gentleman appeared on the
succeeding morning, who greeted Seymour
as his nephew, and whom the keeper oi
the hotel recognised as the rich Judge
Townsend of---county. Before noon
it was whispered on his authority, that the
apparently penniless lawyer was not only
the heir Of the new conner, but the posses

BANKS AGAINST THE PEOPLE.


One Of the most interesting documents
we have seen lateIy.is a report of Secretary
Woodbury. 10 the U s. Senate OIL the Ialh
inst. IN compIiance with resolution of tlia,
body, aud answering certain inquiries in
relation TO the amount of loss sustained by
the government and people of this country
during the last ten years, through The in
s,rumentality OF Banks. l, clearly demon.
stra,es the fact that these institutions by
their pas, and present mode of management
are serious aud expensive evils, and cost
quite as much 10 the community in one way
as their advantages are worthy in any other
Prior TO l537,I appears the loss occasioned
by employing banks as places of deposie
for public monies was 5000, 600, tha. the
loss estimated on the depreciation of bank.
paper was $500, 900; and tina, the loss on
bank-notes taken and not redeemed was
SSO,000. Sice 1887 the loss sustained bv
the Federal government has been 8 0O, 900
by the use of banks as repositories, and
$1,000 on bank notes taken and not re-
deemed-making as total six millions
and six hundred and twenty thousand doll
ars. 10 this add interest computed al
S5, S72 coo, and we have a grand aggregate
of loss of only fifteen millions, Jour han
dred and niaety-tco thousand doiiars!-
Mr. Woodbury. re marks that the committee
of Ways and Means of the House of Rep.
reseu'alves in their report, 9th April, 1890,
estimated the loss sustained through depre-
ciaied bank-noies alone. previous to 1887 a,
Mirtyjour millions Of dollars; the COM
mlttee is supposed TO have taken into con-
sderation the facts, that after August 1914,
loans were made TO government in ire
deenable prper, at high premium, which
were finally discharged by government in
specie or its equivalent. One hundred
dollars in specie for instance, or its equiva-
lent, were used in 1924 in redeeming Ger.
tificate of stock issued in 1914 for SlOO,
and for which only SSS had been received
by the Government; and lha, in bank notes,
at discount then of seven to twelve per
cent compared with specie.
A number Of tables of calculations are
given in the Secrelary's report exhibiting
the kind aud character of the losses sustain
ell prior to 1871, frum 1911 To 1890, and

LOCATION OF THE DISEASE.

The money article of the New York
Herald uncovers a spot which we think will
fix the public eye more and more, from this
time forward
"Tne small degree of confidence crea-
ted by the change Of Government is AREA
dy gone. The public begin to dscover,
that If the banking system had been sound,
the action Of tie Federal Government
could not haze affected it, and being an
sound, ii is beyond The po,cer Of Gouern.
n,ent TO restore 1t. The miserable mis-
management and folly exhibited in the ar
ray of fancy stocks displayed by the United
States Bank, as It's assets give the lie com
petely to the assertion that il was the meas
ures of Federal Executive that produced
the revulsion. We have now nearly reach
ed the close of this state of affairs, aud the
public is beginning TO inrn in disgust from
the miserable humbuggery of those party
leaders, that are attempting to restore it,"
That the Privileged vice of the banking
system has been the source of all the pub
lie disorders, time will establish beyond all
controversy. II has been the labor of the
last and present Administrations, to sepa-
rate the Government from this contagion.-
If the Government, which is the vital or.
gan of our freedom. could be preserved
pure from the faint, the healing power of
our institutions would gradually eradicate
the disease; but if the banking system draws
our political system into its embraces, they
will rot together Globe.

WASHINGTON.

II Is well known that at the close OF the
revolutionary war when the army, unpaid
and wretchedly provided, was almost in a
state OF mutInv, the royal dignity was ten-
defed to WASHINGTON by committee Of
officers. The country was in an unsettled
state, the confederation almost powerless;
war had exhausted the land, and distraction
prevailed in the general councils; the army
was devoted TO its general. The occasion
was one which selfish ambition would have
sprung TO seizs.A If The Republic owes
much TO Washington, the great and heroic
warrior, for achieving her independence,
what is the amount Of obligation for which
American liberty aud human freedum ul o.
ver the world are indebted to him for his
more than heroic conduct at that crisis -
Here is his reply TO the proposal which set
royalty before his eyes--the letter has been
lately blought TO light by Mr. SPARKS, in
his collection of WAsHINGToN's papers,
. Sir, With IA mixture of great surprise
and astonisbmeut, have read with aiteu-
ZION the sentiments you have submitted to
my perusa BE assured, sir, no occurrence
IN the course of the war has given me more
painful sensation than your information oil
there being such IDEAS existing in the army,
as you have expressed, which must view
with abhorrepce, and reprehenJ with sever
ity. For the prescu, the communication
of them will rest in my own bosom, unless
some further agitation Of the matter shall
make a disclosure necessary.
Il am much at a loss TO conceive what
part OF my conduct could have given en-
to all address which, TO me
seems big with the creates. mischiefs that
can befall my country. IL ] am not deceiv-
ed in the knowledge of myself, you could
no. have found a person TO whom your
schemes are more dsagreeable.
Let me conjure you, then, if you have
any regard for your country, concern for
yourself or posteri,y, or respect for me, to
hanish these thoughts from your mind, and
never communicate as From, yourself, or any
one else, a sentiment Of the like nature. |
