would ask you if some act, like the following,
cannot be passed by our wise Legislature, for the
relief OF the unfortunate honest stockholders who
may have held stock in the safety fund banks of this
State. Al the time such banks were enoned by the
State Bank Commissioners, and passed into the
persons invested their funds in these banks think
ing they must be perfectly safe, from the fact that
they were under the superntendencs OF the State
Bank Commissioners, who were appointed by the
State to watch said safety fund banks, and the
public and private interests connected herewith.
would suggest something like the following, viz T.
LIST, All officers clerks, and directors, holding
the time of the injunction, shall not be entitled to
any of the provisions OF this act
I'd, Persons having stock standing in their name,
on the books OF the bank, and they the bona tide
owner at the time the injunction was served upon
such bank, shall be entitled to receive from the
State the full amount paid by them for such stock
vouchers to be produced OF the purchase), after
first deducting all liabilities they may have been
under to said bank at the time of the Injunction,
which may not have been paid up since that time,
in available funds.
3D., No stock held by corporations in said banks
snail be entltledt to anyprovsion in this act stock
neld Dy any person or persons collateral security
further than the actual amount paid in cash by such
holders for said stock held by them at the time of
the injunction being served on said bank
Attn, Upon due notice being given by the person
or persons appointed to carry the provisions Of the
law into effect, stockholders shall be allowed sixty
days to present their claims with proper vouchers
sworn and subscribed to before some lawful magis-
ate OF the State in which they may reslde) to the
persons thus authorized to receive them.
Sir, merely make these suggestions to get your
mind on the subject, and if you think such mea~
sure can be carried out, to have you lay the project
before your readers. SUBSCRIBER

EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In commander McKenze's statement published
this morning, in reference the boys tricks of the
late Midshipman Spencer, his thoughtess remarks,
and ambitious expressions, see but little to support
his rgkt to the exercise of authority claimed by him
IN bringing that officer at the yard arm. If every
boy whose Imagination has been warmed by the adj
venturous tales of ocean life, whose fancy has been
qulckened by reading the lives of desperadoes and
robbers IS TO be hanged at the option of captain of
vessel, fear but few would escape that ultima
tum of authority 1t seems rather stretching point
to go back to idle expressions in stage coach, to
show connection between them and,the events
of the bood-stained Somers. 1890
But, idle and ridiculous as this is il is rendered
still more by the statement reference to CrOm-
well. -....
II is sought to create an impression that Crom-
well intended to take the life of Mr. Rogers, whilst
under command OF Lieutenant Mclaughlin, in that
stupendous humbug, the Florida squadron. twas
well known at the Keys on that coast that no oppor-
tuny tor punishment was ever lost sight and that
at Indian Key, in particular, when Lieutenant Nc
Lau2hlln built, at an extravagant cost quarters for
his family, where he principally resided, men were
tied up by dozens and logged for mutiny. Yet the
name OF Cromwell does not appear upon the log, for
II II did Commander Mckenzie would have eager
ly availed himself Of it. The idea that Cromwell
walked up and down before Midshipman Rogerss
tent one whole night, with carbne to shoot him,
Is ridiculous: Was not Cromwell on guard! And
where was the guard detail and its officer, to pro-
tect the party from the enemy, as well as any mutt
nous spirit among their own numberl Lieutenant
Mclaughlin would not have allowed so excellent
an opportunity for the maintenance of discipline to
pass by, / will assure you Perhaps, Mr. Editor,
Lieut.. Tansil, of the Marines whom Lieut. Nc
Laughlln is now going to have court martialed at
Philadelphia, will throw light upon this subject, as
well as many others connected with the discipline
of the Florida squadron and vindicate the honor of
the slain Cromwell from the odium which is now
sought to be thrown upon IT, Perhaps too, that
drunkenness. the vice which is said exclusively be-
longs to the sailor, will be found to have made its
appearance on the quarter deck, and that the u. S.
schooner Flirt (what name for an armed vesseD
was on one occasion detained in port until an Off
Ger, thrown from his horse in state of intoxica-
ton, was sufficiently recovered from a severe
wound in the thigh to admit his removal on board,
and the sailing of the schooner on her high sound
ing expedition. JACK TAR.

American, will all be given in broken Doses suita-
BILE for every appetite, in small plates at a shilling

the days of the cheap drama certainly. The next
move vii. be to open theatre at penny admission,
and sweep the pool. At five and two cents,
small theatre would make fortune. This is the
true way to create an original racy theatre. BY the

JAMES GORDON BENNETT, Esq -
SIR
AS editor ofthe leading and most influential news
paper in this country, allow me- an humble citizen,
the honor of addressing you, respecting the noble
stand you are making against the centious light
literature of the day-the defacations OF inancers
bankers and merchants, and the headlong, down
ward tendency in morals and religion, which dis
graces those especially who are sngularly termed
the respectable part of the community, church
members, &C. 1t is quite amusing to observe what
ingenious devices are practised by this class of the
pious from the first use of the Mechanical Lying
Brass Door Wrapper" down to the present numer-
GUS subterfuges of the elite fashionable, bankrupt
merchant princes, ex-State prisoners and others.
But the article in your Weekly of Dec "a, 1912,
headed Pulpit Oratory-why is it not more influ-
entail" This truly does the greatest honor to your
independent and most admirable journal, which,
erted far more healthy influence upon society than
perhaps any periodical of the present age and, of
course, I" The Herald" may be fairly considered as
having tar sounder religious tendency than most
OF our modern addresses from the pulpit. The silly
and even wicked pretensions to plety set up by
tain cques and parties of religionsts and their a?-
proved teachers, smust often tempt some OF the WI
sest and best men to stop at home on the Sunday
and read the Herald, which, for my own part, am
not ashamed to say very frequently do.
sincerely hope you will often devote column in
severely reprmanding these our baneuly inefficient
clergy No class of men so much deserve chastise-
ment. Cry aloud! Spare them not!
Be assured that multitudes of good men are re-
joicng at your able defence of Truth and Right
eousness.
am anxiously in hopes that the public will, at no
distant time, be favored with some counter publica-
ton to the centious light literature of the day,
from your office, in the way perhaps Of" the beau
York Herald during the past years." which think
would be very valuable and acceptable work, and
for which and my friends would be soon ready to
send in subscriptions for at least ten to twenty
copies ! am. Sir,
With strong approval, yours,

Shakespeare has nowhere shown more intimate
knowledge of human nature than in the celebrated
lines placed by him in the mouth'of Lear.
Plate sins with gold
And the strong arm of Justice heartless breaks;
Arm in in rags apigmy doth pierce it."
If this had been written for the times in which we
live, many living examples might be adduced to
prove its truth; few months ago a Young, beau
tiful, and unoffending girl was traduced, ruined
and her life, and that of her family, embttered by
the base Vaccinations of two men. Jury of the
country convicted these men of conspiracy, and
they were sent to the county prison. Yesterday,
one of them (Chaukley c. Shee) was pardoned by
the Governor, and is now at large; truly Justice,
besides the defect in her eyesight, has certainly
broken her leg.
The Court Martial in the case of Lieut. Tansill,
OF the Marine Corps, commenced yesterday. The
charges comprise four counts, viz, contempt, un-
becoming conduct, scandalous conduct and false
hood The proof rests upon the authenticity of GER

in which Lieut.. Mclaughlin was pretty severely
handled. Lieut.. Tansill pleaded not guilty, and
heard by his counsel this morning at 10 o'clock;

ALBANY, Thursday, Jan. 70, l8lS.
The State Printing question remains as far from
being definitely settled as ever. The locofocos
lack unity and harmony in this Legislature, and the
consequence is that they do nothing but agree to
disagree. The material difference on this business
of State printing heretofore, has been as to what
should be the mode of appointing the State printer
or publisher of the legal notices. To-day,
however, Mr.. FOSTER yielded his point, and
the Senate concurred in the amendment
OF the Assembly in this respect, and both houses
have agreed to appoint this officer in the same man.
ner as the other State officers This being thus set
tied, another difference has arisen, in relation to
the Legislative printing. The Assembly had amen
ded the Senate bill to designate singe officer
of firm to do the printing for the Legislature To this
amendment the Senate does not agree. Again, the
House amended so as to require reduction of 10
instead of 10 per cent on the rates of printing The
Senate insist the latter, and also reduction of Is
per cent on the legal advertising. Unless this
matter is settled, they will be as far from the
object sought as when they first started That
it will be settled, and that speedily, have no
doubt The members dare not go home to their
constituents and tell them they refused to do any
thing on this subject to redeem their pledges of
trenchment and reform because they could not
agree what persons should have the benefit of it.
Disguise it as they may, these differences arise
mainly from the conflicting claims OF candidates
The Senate were occupied until a late hour in the
discussion OF this bill, and 1t was most amusing to
hear these learned lawyers prate so knowingly
about printing and newspapers, matters of which
they know as much about as the man in the moon
Mr.. RUGER proposed to reduce the rates paid for
legal advertising thirty per cent. Why he couldn't
get publisher in the country to take it
at hat rate, it would not remunerate him
for his paper. and ink, or the composition
alone even After all the dust raised about the ex-
orbitant price paid by the State for its printing, it
amounts to nothing in reality. The State pays no
more for its work than an individual would have to
do. People do not look at this matter in its true
light, Invested of the obscurity and mystery
thrown around by politicians. 1t is not
the price paid, but the immense amount of work
done that swells the printing bill 10 SO enormous a
sum- Let the Legislature order less useless printing,
and the ends of economy will be easily attained.
They direct year after year the publishing of most
expensive works at the expense of the State, which
benefit no one but themselves
