IHE MILD WEATHER AND THE FARMERs.-
warm weather of this month has been of great
vantage to farmers in eking out their scanty
ply OF hay. The New England Farmer says il
weather should continue moderate until the
of January, we think there will be as much
der on hand at that time as there was on the
of last january. the Granite Farmer of the
states that "young cattle and sheep have not

lHE ONoNDAGA AND OswEGo BANKs.-Refer
ring to the refusal of the Metropolitan Bank OF
New York to receive the bills of the Farmers Bank
of Onondaga county and Merchants and Mechan-
ics' Bank at oswego, the New York Courier and
Enquirer says:
ssThere are $l71 200 of the bills of these two
banks issued by the Bank Department, based upon
Sl02 900 of Government and New York State
stocks The balance of deposits as securities con-
sists of mortgages on lands in Holland, Erie coun-
ty, to ,phich there is disputed title. There will
probably be loss to the bill holder of nearly forty
per cent Who are the parties who had guilty
knowledge of this state of things, and who is re-
sponsible to the poor laborer for the loss!
sThe Farmers Bank Of Onondaga and the Mer.
chants and Mechanics Bank at Os,oego belong to
class of individual banks fostered by the gene
raj banking law of this S:ate-owned, in many in
stances, by brokers in Wall street.
"Last December there were sixty -four such cham
banks in this State whose condition was shown by
the Bank Department to be as follows:
Capital, sixty four banks. & $3.50 900
Less than $4,000 each.)
Circulation NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 3,9lS 900
Loans. ...,........ 2,b9l, UU0
Specie............ ............... 10000
s'The specie was equivalent to Il per cent of the
circulation and deposits, and the circulation fifty
per cent. larger than their loans.
tsThis is practical commentary on the abuses
to which our general banking law is subject, and
shows conclusively that some further provisions
are necessary for the protection of the community
Among these would enumerate bona fde can.

PHILANTHROPY AT THE WATERING PLACES
Is THERE NONE AT NEWPORT We have seen
that several OF the gay and fashionable summer
retreats have been pervious to the cry Of wall
and suffering emitted from New Orleans and
that the generally thoughtless and pleasure
hunting crowds who pursue their rounds of
amusement ct those places have stopped in the
midst Of their enjoyments to dropa compassion
ating tear for the victims Of the plague. and to
contribute out of their means to the fund being
collected for the benefit of those who may be
attached by the fatal malady. Fort Hamilton,
we believe, was the frst TO set the good exam
pie of making collections among the fashionable
visiters there for this praiseworthy object
and Saratoga has not been slow to initiate it.
But what OF Newport? Has the Maine liquor
law banished all good spirits from that resort ?
Are its visitors all Of that Pharisaical class
who thank God that they are not sinners like
other men, and therefore Simagine that they arc
exempt from the natural emotions and duties
OF humanity? However it may be. one thing
certain is--that no intelligence has yet reached
the public of any movement having been made
IN Newport similar TO those at Fort Hamilton
and Saratoga. Why is this? Let the water
drinking, abolitionist, ultrapious visitcrs and
residents Of Newport reconcile, if they can

compacent pretensions 10 exemplary sanctity.

Portugal IN 1896 they were e. slsariy guilty
Of piracy ~ Lepes when two stsAners were
fitted out in the heart of London ir the Ecus-
dor expedition, the promoters Of the scheme
were as culpable as Lopez when Barclay d
Perkins draymen dragged old Hsynsn BY the
beard through the streets, they were more
cowardly than the greatest bastard In Lopez's
force. But these acts were amply excused by
Lord John Russell and his colleagues. Europe
derived benefit from the Portuguese expedition;
order and civilization would have been ad-
vanoed by the success of Flores; humanity
called for the punishment of Haynau. In every
case the petty rules Of the law Of nations and
the municipal code were made to succumb to
the comprehensive dictates Of o higher law
abstract right and destiny.
So it was with Lopez. SO it was with Cuba.
1t lie simply childish Of Lord John Russell, or
any other foreigner, to assume position OF pa
ternal superiority to US, to read US lecture on
our faults. We are as well aware of these as
his lordship, and we seem to possess over him
the advantage of being able to form more
large and liberal opinion Of the rules Of inter-
national policy. That justice we exact for our
selves we concede to others. Lord John insists
on British monopoly Of aggrandisement and
illegality. We pass over British exactions in
silence, deeming the cause of humanity fur
thered by Burmese conquests and AHiatic cam
paigns.
British ministers have earned some repute by
their patriarchal admonitions to such powers as
Spain, Greece, and Turkey. They will disco
yer that similar style will not suit this meri-
dian; and though Mr.. Marcy may complacently
hope that the Cuban negotiations will not ter
inmate in disturbance OF the peace Of Europe
we cannot disguise from our readers our con-
viction that mischief turks in the proceedings
OF Great Bri tain.
