It will be perceived reference to this table, that
many the safety fund banks in the interior Of the
State have large circulation, with small amount of
specie on hand. This shows, at once, the weakness
Of these concerns. IL is not necessary for the
free banks to be well supplied with specie as The
safety fund banks, they have security at all times
in the hands of the Comptroller, which be made
available for the redemption of their issues We do
not know at any time what security the holder of
safety fund bill has. The capital stock may be formed
of the notes of the directors and the value of their
assets are only to those who have the control
Of them. The safety fund is perfect bagatelle-it
never was, at any time, large enough to redeem the
issues the suspended banks formed under the sys
TEN, and it has never been anything but a bubble.
This plan originated with clique of political fnan-
ciers Of which Martin Van Buren, was the moving
spirit and it has served adisguse FOR of the
most rotten and corrupt systems of banking ever in
vented The safety fund.- it called has given the
banks connected with it, credit which they could
not otherwise have obtained and the public have been
deceived very much relative to the extent of that fund
and its dependence in the event of suspension OF
any bank belonging to that class. We should not be
surprised see half the safety fund banks in the State
suspend They have existed entirely upon false
dit ever since they created and the moment the
confidence which has kept them alive is removed that
momcnt they cease to exist. All the contributions to
the fund within TIE next years. would not redeem
the bills of bank and sooner or later the system
must explode altogether Look out for all safety fund
hank bills: the Issues the free banks safe enough
as they have ample security for their redemption.

WASHINGTON, July 10, 1913.
Value of Time in Congress.

Value of Time in Congress.
In the House to-day any number OF platform
speeches were exploded The war with Mexico
was infinitely detailed; the boundary of Texas
was profoundly discussed, and Taylor and Cass
were sufficiently abused This, perhaps, is all
right. II cannot be expected that upwards of two
hundred gentlemen, who have mainly made their
reputation on the stump, can by any possibility
allow such splendid opportunities for displaying
their peculiar abilities TO the best advantage, to
pass unheeded Taking all this into consideration,
after aclose mathematical inquiry, we have arrived
at the conclusion, that Congress will not adjourn
before September, and that even then large
amount OF business will remain untouched. AS
specimen OF the arguments INDUCED IN in these
gladlaionaI exhibitions we give choice selection.
Mr.. McClernand, OF Illinois, IN the course OF a
rambling speech IN defence of the administration,
(by the way, MIR. Secretary Mason was moving
about the hall all the mornng,) the Mexican war,
the Texan boundary, and the state OF the country,
accused the whtg party of being de facto the
authors OF The war, by having elected that illus
irious individual, John Tyler, to the chief magiss
tracy, Mr. Sehenck Of Ohio, jumped up and denied
supporting Tyler. "We" (the wing party 6 sup
ported Tyler until we found he was dishonest
then we abandoned him. The democratic party
opposed Tyler until it discovered his dishonesty
then 1t supported him." This is all very fine, but
1t is not very true. Is Daniel Webster wing
and II so did he not continue Secretary of State
under Tyler, after it was "fonnd he was dshon-
est % splitter to be sure was made by few
oil the party about it, but Is not Webster still
leading embodiment of the wing partyl The
matter is of no great moment, but thus il stands.
All this retrospection is pure and unaloyed hum
bug The war is now a matter OF history, and
John Tyler has been consigned to the tomb of all
the Capulets. Let the discussions in Congress, for
Heavens sake, be upon the merits or dement's of
the measures before it. The greater part of the
mares nests and political regeneration of years
gone by, are now just as important a solution
to that very puzzling question, "who trod on Tim
Murphy's coat = The importance with which
they are invested in the halls of the Capitol when
conirasted with their real merits, is astonishing

The speech of Hon. Reverdy Johnson to-day, in
support of the Missouri compromise to the Pacific
Ocean, was good thing, and spoken IN the nick
of time. 1t will help the cause nightly. 1t will
go far to bring the Taylor wings up to the work
But like all great and startling questioas-like the
N. f. boundary for instance-and the Oregon
treaty, and the treaty with Mexico, this compro-
mise overrdes and overrules all party distinctions
The thing will pass, and though the cry of repeal
may be raised in the North, nothing can ever be
signature OF the President of the United States.
The cry of repeal will be expedlent to the
proviso people TO die upon. We defy them to shake
the line when once established And we believe
that before the 9Th of August the Missouri com
promise will be stretched across TO the Pacific.
We hold II certain that it will pass the Senate be-
fore the present week is out. The Doctor.

General Kearny and Colonel Benton.
We understand that the nomination of BrIgadier
General Kearnyfas MAYOR General by brevet, was
rejected III the Senate on Saturday last.
We have not had an opportunity to consult any
Senator to the fact; but the officer who gives us
the information is man Of truth; we take it,
therefore, that the thing was done. The action of
the Senate may be accounted for in five words
Colonel Benton did the business. Gen. kearny
arralgned Lieut.. Col Fremont before the late court
martial The court, on the evidence, as they were
bound to do, condemned the prisoner on all the
charges. he President, as we hold it, properly
acquitted the accused, and restored HIM his posi-
ton. Fremont, we regard it, very properly re-
signed. Thus the case ended between kearny and
Fremont But Col Benton, the father-in-aw of
Fremont, had yet balance against General Kear-
ny. He has exactcd it, and kearny is rejected
There 1t Is. You see how IL stands. w.
