SPECIELESs BANKS.

|
The Cincinnati Enquirer, speaking of the late
banking law, says:
| "Seventy two long sections were enacted for
no other purpose than to embody deceptive res.
friction in one section to be neurazed in another
section, as for instance, section eight declares as
follows: @
Sat least thirty per cent. of the capital stock
| of each company shall be paid in gold and silver
coin, or their equivalent, one half Of tchich thirty
per cent at least shall be IN gold and sluer coin,
and shall be in actual possession of the company
at the time Of the commencement of its banking
business, and at the place designated for carrying
on such business"
This positive and cle,r injunction to have and
to keep Is FER cent. in actual coin runs through
several columns Of the law, and effectualy lulls
close of the seth section, when suddenly the fol-
lowing provision is thrust in:
"Actual deposits with any solvent bank or bank
er of established credit in the cities Of New York.
Boston, Philadelphia or Baltimore, subject to be
drawn against at sight IN gold or silver coin, shall
be deemed equivalent to gold and Siiuer coin, =
| whenever used in this act"
"These few lines effectuay destroyed the me-
cessity of all the provisions that went before 10
relation to gold and silver. A "kite" drawn from
any bank upon its agent in Wall street creates a
deposit, subject to be drawn against, and although
there may be an understanding that the credit is
not to be used, yet that transaction is ''gold and
silver coin actually in the vaults at the place Of
business" This is only one instance of the absurd
contradictions in the law now going into operation
to such an alarming extent. The sole objects Of
these banks will be to push out their credits as
speedily as possible, as by so doing they will I'M
pei larger purchases of goods on the part Of the
Ohio dealers, and will involve very speedy
revulson, the more rapidly, inasmuch as that
the currency Of tie surrounding States is not now
capable of corresponding initiation The curren-
cy of Ohio will become redundant as compared
with the others, and specie will leave the State.
The eastern banks will have become too cautious.
to trust such concerns dollar, and those merchants
that sell goods to Ohio dealers, for notes payable
at their new banks will meet with severe losses
inevitably The New York banks were in former
years too severely bitten, by trusting western
banks with collections, to renew such a system
with those pestilent Ohio wild cats. The people
of Ohio have chosen to take the promises Of the
banks as currency instead of gold and silver, and
the lesson will be a severe one to them. If New
York dealers wish to avoid sharing their losses
they should take nothing but city acceptances or
cash from the Ohio trade

FIRE IN NEW YORK.
OCC TJEE gNrD GPEaTr DECTPTIl
TYOW OF PROPERTY.

TTON OFPROPERTY.
| The fire commenced at half past two O'Clock in
the store and steam candle mandatory of J. L.
Van Doren, No. "a, New street, and although it
Immediately communicated TO the adjoining build
| ing the fire department had succeeded in obtsin-
| ing such mastery over it, even without gene
| raj or unusual alarm, that it would have been
confined to those buildings had it not been for a
terrible and unexpected occurrence We extract
| from the report of the Chief Engineer:
can explosion occurred most destructive and
unexpected. With the force of the heaviest
ordinance the fire was driven into the buildings
opposite on Broad and New streets; six buildings
on either side of the explosion were thrown down,
and solid doors and iron shutters forced through,
hu ndrcds of feet from the explosion. This accident
while it drove the men from their posts, destroyed
the lines by which the fire had been held in sub
lection, and before they could be renewed both
81 des OF New street, Broad street, and Exchange
street were enveoped in flames. The strongest
suspicion exists that gunpowder was slowed in the
building which exploded, and consideration for
the lives of our fremen, and the property of our
citizens from the effect of the explosion, demands
minute and thorough examination. The zeal,
fidelity and daring of the department, have result
ed from conviction that the laws relating to
gunpowder and other explosive compounds were
faithfully observed and should this belief be shaken
the system Of extinguishing fires must be changed,
and property be sacrificed, rather than the lives of
hu drads ebould he ieonardised -
A very graphic account of the explosion is given
in statement published by the foreman of one Of
the engines, No. o. In New York, the custom
of firemen is to take the pipe in hand, connected
to the engine by hose, and carry it up into tho
interior Of buildings, or climb upon the outside
with ladders. The engines are under the direc-
ton of the Chief Engineer and assistants, and
direct their apparatus as ordered The Foreman
of % says;
Sour pipe was ordered to the 4th story of the
furniture store No. 36 Broad street. and while we
were at work in thefourth story Ipe,ceived large
body Of smoke coming up stairs In going down
to the third story, I found it wrapped in flames
almost to the stairs, and Immediately ordered the
members down. They all succeeded in making
their escape but one. He was forced to take the
roof Of the building, his egress having been cut
off by the flames. then went to the street and
found the doors Of No ss Broad street opened, and
the store in flames from theroof to the cellar
"The tail Of our engine was directly opposite
the front door. I ordered the members to the
street, and then came down as soon IS possible.
We then seized the engine and tried to drag il
towards Exchange street, but this was impossible.
as the two hydrsnt strearDs were attached behind.
