the last weekly statement of the Banks of the city of New

The Bank statement of the week shows much more
favorable result in regard to specie than anticipated
The street generally looked for 100000 500 600 de-
crease while the result shows gain of about 100000
The movement outward in specie has been less active
than during the previous week and about half the
1925 900 paid by the State Of Illinois its debt gold
received here early in the week. There were also
other receipts from the West during the last days
week. On the other hand, have lost quarter of
million to the SubTreasury and something to the South
The two millions at hand from California will affect the
next weeks statement. They received late to
appear in the present figures The loans still show
expansion but not to any important extent The depo
sits show nominally falling off Of 5600OO0, but por
ton of this is due to the decrease in the clearing
transactions and much the remainder to the dstribu
ton of money by the payment of interest and dividends

THE OHIO BELLE AFFAIR.
Additional Partieulars-The Marderer's Body

= ~ Found. 81
Speaking of this case the Columbus Citizen.
of the 28th ult, says:
Whilst at Cairo, the facts becoming known,
a number ofpeople proceeded to the Belle for
the purpose of rescuing the unfortunate man
from the murderous crew amongst whom he
had fallen. He himself desired to be placed in
the hands of an officer, and stated that he
never expected to reach Hickman, where the
| Captain of the Belle proposed to take him for
trial. When the crowd approached the boat
for the purpose of taking him off, she put out
into the river and thus frustrated their inten-
ton. What occurred on the boat after this
we can only judge from the result. The body
! ofa man tied to a chair. was picked up in the
river near this place soon afterwards. and the
Captain of the Ohio Belle, on leaving Hickman
is reported to have called out, eff you find
damned scoundrel floating by on chair, take
him ont and hang himt'' y t-
The Grand Jury of this county have had the
matter under investigation but We believe,
could not procure testimony sufficiently direct
to warrant them in taking action in the case.
The impression throughout this part of the
county is that a most horrible murder has teen
perpetrated by the officers and crew of the
boat Mr. Jones was a respectable man, citi-
zen of Mississippi, we believe, and a man of
property. We have not learned what become
of the money which he had with him. He
certainly did not take it with him when he
! Jumped owe: board" Whilst we admit that
he laid himself liable to punishment by shoot
ing the clerk, we must say that almost any
man of spirit having been grossly insulted, and
finally assaulted, would have done the same
thing He should have been handed over to
the legal authority at the first port, and fairly
tried for the offence. Altogether we consider
this one of the most horrible affairs that has
ever come to our knowledge.
We take the following from the Memphis
Eagle of the 4th:
SINGULAR DEvELoPMENT.-We learn from

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.

s% ell.

The election yesterday, we are gratified to
say, passed off quietly, without single fight,
or even quarrel SO far as we know, notwith--
standing the warm excitement which had
prevailed many days previous on this sui
ject. We are pleased to announce that Cav
lit stock is fiat on its back-so far below par
that it isn't or shouldn't be quoted in the po-
litical market at all. His candidate for the
Clerkship in opposition Walker has been de-
feated, and we presume by a heavy majority.
This is a bitter rebuke to the Sheriff. He had
staked his political existence on this die, and
he is dead A more infamous piece Of polite
al rascality was never attempted. than this in
which Gavitt has been so signally defeated,
and in which he was supported by the pretend
Ell organ of his party. and by numerous whip
ped in tools. Let the whole gang now hide
their heads in shame. Let the Enquirer, as
Gayitts organ and hacker, feel the scorn and
Indignation of the party it has injured and dis
graced At the time we write, no def
mite news has been received as to the
other candidates. 1t is certain the Old
Liners are in the minority in the City
Council, and that generally good men
have been elected to that body. We shall
give full returns tomorrow. The Americans
have done nobly, and have every reason to be
satisfied with the result, r.s .r 7d5sg

No Mails.


5r Saturday evening we received no Eastern
mail This makes four Eastern mails we fail
ed to receive last week. Whether we shall re-
ceive this week any at all, or any but those
already due, remains to be seen We need
not say that every business man is perplexed
and injured by this condition of mail affairs
As previously stated, the cause lies in the fact
that the Terrc Haute and Richmond Railroad
have demanded $3.50 per mile for carrying this
mail We are not prepared to accuse them
o. delibera attempt at extOrtion, as many
are doing. The facts are simply these. When
the company contracted for carrying the mail
at $l25 per mile, there was not half the guam
tty of mail matter then there now is. They
have notified the Department that the sum
was to be doubled or they would not continue
to carry the mail 1t is said the Department
answered, if the mail could not be carried over
this road at the old rate, it would be sent by
the emergency when it should arrive, the De-
partment were found without any prepare
tons. The Company may have been blamea-
BILE for their course, and they may be demand
ing an exorbitant rate, but that does not ex-
cuse the Department for not using the proper
diligence to forward the mails in some mar
ner. Here we are four mails behind hand, as
| if there were not a horse or wagon to be OBJ
tanned at indianapolis, nor any other route to
reach the Great West than this one,, We I'M
derstand it is objected to paying the L. H. and
Il. Railroad the sum asked, on account of the
precedent-that if this is done, nearly every
road in the country will have to be paid the
same sum. We do not acknowledge the force
of this. 1t might have to be done in a fen
other cases, but not in many. But even if it
were true, that is no reason why as long as
the difficulty continues this community and
others should be deprived of all mails East OIL
Terre Haute. The Department is exhibiting
itself in this matter, i'll very unfavorable
light. We hope the evil will be at once rem
edied. .ag fl-5,-ias f1f sos .ls j Aa

To the Business men of Evansville.

A Convention of the merchants, manufac-
turers and Bankers of Indiana, is to meet at
indianapolis on Thursday the 10th inst, TO
adopt measures for the protection of Indiana
commerce against Cincincinnati Brokers. We
know that the issues of the State Bank and OF
the present Free Banks of Indiana, constitute
as safe and sound q currency as any paper
currency in the Union, and far sounder cur
rency than one-half the rest of the paper cur
rency now afoat. The Merchants, Bankers
and Brokers of Cincinnati know equally well
with ourselves, that this is the case, and yet
such isttheir present financial system, that our
bank notes are not tolerated amongst them as
a circulation, but are no sooner paid out by our
merchants in that city, than they are hurried
into the hands Of brokers, and by them sorted
and sent home to our bankers as a draft at
sight for so much specie. Thus the millions
which our people Of all classes have legitimate
ly invested in banking, is deprived of much of
its value, and the life blood of the commerce
of the State, which is the legal circulating
medium of the State, is from day to day being
drawn to the lowest ebb, u'e
We of course understand fully that the pay
ment in gold and silver, by banks of issue, OF
all their issues by whomsoever presented, is
the prime condition oftheir existence, and that
in paying specie for their bills, they have no
right to make any distinction between per-
sons presenting them. sara
But we know too equally we'll, that without
confidence and credit between man and man
and community and community, there can be
no successful commerce and no successful
banking, and trade must languish, and mer-
chants and bankers must become bankrupt
We know that both the State Bank and the
present free banks of Indiana, are reliable and
sound beyond all suspicion. So know the men
men who daily depreciate and cheaper Their
issues, and then run them home for specie
the huxtering currency mofTgers Of Cincinnat
and their neighbors, the merchants and bank
ers, who might prevent it but will not. The
former have every day for months, with all
the speed of modern travel, run our bank
bills home for specie, and the latter have
stood and looked on we'll pleased at the oppe
ration, until the one and the other are satisfied
beyond doubt, that our banks are every way
sound. We therefore challenge for the Indi
ana Banks that generous confidence, that man
" tolerance and trust in the neighborins
States as we'll as at home, without which it i
utterly vain for men or combinations of mel
to embark in any considerable business what
ever. 1t will be the business of the Indianap
oils Convention to adopt measures to strength
en- public confidence in our banks, and to tax
such steps as are likely to prevent the contin
uance Of the run upon them. whether that rul
is the result of lack of public confidence or Q
an unwise policy pursued by any of tn
banks.
Let all interested in these matters attent

Henderson and IA shvills Railroad.

We are glad to understand that this railroad,
so important to our own city, as the sole con-
Meeting link wanted to unite us with the Gulf
and Atlantic by chain of railroads, is pro-
crossing very favorably under the new man
agement. We are permitted to make the
following extract from letter written by
Ex-Goy. Powell, President of this road, to a
gentleman of Evansville He says:
1.-The prospects of the Henderson and Nash
vile road, think much better than they have
ever heretofore been. We recommended
our work four months ago, and since that
time we have been constantly at work. The
grading of the first thirty miles of our road,
commencing at this place is progressing rapid
ly to completion-we expect to have the first
thirty miles ready for the iron by the early
part of the coming fall, and we believe our
means will be sufficient to enable us to pur-
chase the rails for the first thirty miles With.
out using the credit of our road.
"The grubbing and clearing of the larger
portion of our road to the Tennessee line has
been done. We are now doing all our work
ON the first thirty miles, and will give our en-
tire energies to that part of the road until it
is completed. 1t is about one hundred and
forty miles from this place to Nashville. Our
company build the road from this place to the
Tennessee line, and the Edgefeld company
build the road from Nashville to the Kentuc-
ky line, distance of about forty three miles.
l understand the Tennessee end of the
road will be let during the present month, and
that they have ample means to complete it
without delay. The first thirty miles of our
road commencing at this place and the Edge
field road being completed, more than half our
road viii be finished This being done, there
can be no doubt, but the balance of the road
will be constructed in short time. have no
doubt but that the first thirty miles of our
road, and the Edgefeld road will be speedily
completed. aats

The Louisville municipal election was held
last Saturday. Only one paper, the Times,
Democratic, is published on Sunday, and it
brings the dolefuI tale. The whole Democratic

Grit is very singular fact, that the Buch-
anan men are becoming converts 10 the Old
Wing one term principle. They have sudden
II become convinced that one term in the
Presidential chair, is quite enough for any man,
especially for just such man as him who now
sits in that roost. We presume the people
will think the same way. Pierce stock APP

struggle between the friends for Pierce and
Buchanan. The Office holders are of course
almost without exception of Pierce, as they
