BANKS IN OUR CITY.

We are induced to hope that the pre- sure on
few of the younger and smaller Banks of our
City has done it's worst. The Empire City, one
of the youngest of these institutions, has been
tried by four days run, which quite number
of it's depositors were impelled to aggravate;
yet has met alfdemands promptly, and is now
apparently quite as strong as at the beginning.
Yesterday the run was not renewed, and we be-
lieve this Bank 9 resources have been fully tested
and proved adequate to any emergency We do
not hear that any Bank hiss been pressed this
week, though very obscure reports of the in
solvency of this or that institution are quito
current in the surrounding country.
The Knickerbocker Savings Bank, we are very
glad to he assured, is expected to- resume pay
ment within few days. We understand that its
affairs have been honestly but not wisely con-
ducted-a considerable portion of its means hav-
ing been loaned on pledges of Bank and Insurance
Stocks which are now of little value. Should
the Knickerbocker Bank be resuscitated, it will
be placed fully on its feet but should everything
90 wrong the bulk of i!s receipts have been in
vested in City Bonds and Mortgages, which are
believed to be worth every dollar they specify.
On every account, We hope this institution will
be able to resume its BUSINESS but if this hope
should be blasted, we trust that the los, to do
positors will be small.
1t is Of course understood that we retract no
part of our former structures on the laxity and
vciousness of our present Savings Bank system.
This must be reformed-prOmptly, resOlutely
cal oc c. D.oI l..
rious public calamity-a discoursgement to fru.
gality, an Indictment to improvidence, unthrift
and squanderirg on the part of the poor. 1t is
the duty of the Legislature to guard effectively
against another such disaster.

A NEW BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT

When the Constitution Of the United States
was framed its authors, simple souls, fsncied
that in the Executive and the Congress they had
provided for the functions Of the Government
and the due execution of the public will con-
corning the foreign as well as domestic policy of
the country. 1t seems, however, that they were
mistaken owing no doubt to the darkness of the
times in which they lived and that with our
modern e1igencies and new lights, additional in
situations are requisite. Accordingly we are as
sured by cur Special Correspondent st Paris that
a grand Diplomatic Council is about to DE holden
at Raden-not at Bale, as reported by the French
journalistic regulate sundry matters on which
the regular organs of the republic proves incom-
petent. This Council is the invention of the
three most prominent diplomats BY whom the
United States happen just at this moment to be
eloriaed, namely, Mr.. Buchanan an old Fed
eralist turned Democrat, now specializing for q
PRESIDENTIAL nomination.; Mr.. Soule, the author
OF q new fancy velvet embroidered diplomatic
Nefy' ana MIR. Mason of whom Col. Benton has
pfosneiy said that, give him his bellyfull Of
oysters and his hands full of cards. and he needs
nothing more. These three individuals IL il wbo
are TO hold COngrtss at Baden, and to settle 70,
the American people certain great questions.
which neither Congress nor the Executive !.
able to dispose Of, but which the skill and wis
dem of such puis'ant statesmen may approach
without tremOr. In their momentum. dsIha.
atoms, they may perhaps be aided BY the genius
of Mr.. August Belmont, whose private business.
it seems. takes him great deal to Frankfort.

SECRET SoCIETIEs.-A correspondent who has
been induced to join secret society whose real
objects, as now revealed to him, he does not ap-
prove, and whose operations he believes calcu-
lated to DO great harm, asks us what he ough. to
do in the premises. We answer-Withdraw
frankly promptly and utterly. Your duty to
your country and your fellow beings is paramount
to any obligation imposed on you by secret
society, and where the two come IN collision the
latter must give way. This is the dictate of Re-
lgon, of Patriotism and Of Common Sense.
Keep out Of all traps henceforth; but if you
have heedes.ly run into one, get on. as speedily
as possible. Having got out, you will not need
cur advice to stay out.
