RsSy- The Philadelphia Argus is very decided in
its Of disapprobstion Of the Equalization Of the
bank suspensions in Pennsylvania. The following
| strikes us as containing good degree of common
sense, and Is well said
The same arguments which were urged in favor of
extending legislative aid and protection the banks
apply with equal force and justice in favor of ex-
tending them 70 unchartered bankrupts. Why one
class Of insolyents alone should be protected by spe-
cal legislation, is matter do not pretend to
derstand. We see no possible or conceivable reason
why broken corporations, and those too of the most
worthless and dangerous class, should be bostered
up by the laws and broken individuals left to en-
counter the vicissitudes which the mis- management
Of The corporations had occasioned
The chartered shaving shops should have been left
to their talelet TO the consequences of their
own blunders and Wickedness. The people should
have been left the remedy which the banking law of
the State provided, to extricate them from the ruin
and distress which the banks have brought upon the
community. The sudden explosion of the bubble Of
paper currency, in the midst of universal prosper
ty and abundance, in time of profound peace,
when there were natural political circumstan-
ces psllate or excuse the unprecedented disrup-
ton, shows c0nclusiyely, to every rejecting mind
how utterly worthless and unsafe is currency COM
posed Of strips Of brown paper with pictures en-
grayed upon it. II shows how depOrably inadequate
It is in all that gees to make up safe and uniform
circulating medium. 1t taught or should have done
Legislators themselves. The exploded banks were
their own 6ttesi commentary. The lesson Of their
suspension, their Tottenness and corruption, was
written in their acis, in characters as visible as
those which dazled the eyes of the king of Babylon
in the midst of his wassail. The handwriting on the
wall needed no prophet-seer to interpret it. The
inscription ineligible TO the dullest apprehen-
sion and it said plainly words could say, this
the consequence Of iegdlizsd traud-this is the Iegh
fruit Of monopoly legislatioH-hsss the neces-
sdry consequences Of partial and unjust lG0s eonerrag
special privileges upon irresponsible fear ho hePpsa
be rieh, and denied 10 the many because hey are
poor
The duty Of the Legislature became obvious and
palpabe under the circumstances. 1t was to have
left the monopoly shaving shops to the fate they had
recklessly and unscrupulously brought upon them
selves-the penalty of their folly and wickedness
should have fallen upon their own heads, instead of
being turned aside by legislative corruption, and
made to fall upon the naked hearts of the innocent
and uninterested in the hOcus pOcus jugglery of
growing rich without earning anything.

DR.. RAE ON SIR JOHN FRANK
FIN.-At the Scientific Convention
recently held at Montreal, Canada,
DR.. Rae, the discoverer of the relies
of Sir John Franklin, was introduced
to the associat on, and exhibited the
portion of the relics still in his pos
session, such as watch cases and
chains, and spoon marked with Sir
Johns crest. These relies were OBJ
tanned from the Esquimaux, who
gave him positive information con-
cerning the party. He said he had
not the least hope that any Of Frank
Inns party yet survived-no more
than of those who perished in the
steamer Arctic; because, in the To-
cality where they were known to be,
it is almost impossible to find food of
any kind, and even experienced hunt
ers could not have survived. DR.. Rae
believes that, after wintering the first
year at Beechy Island, Sir John
Franklin attempted to carry out his
plan by crossing Peale's Sound and
reaching Bhering's Straits. His par
ty was seen coming down Peale's
Sound at taplace near King Williams
Land. Dir. Rae thinks they must
have perished from hunger and scurvy
