AMERICAN PROGEEss.-Not one in a thou
sand OF our people comprehend the giant stride
OF our great country on the march of national
progress, wherein the United States are des-
tined to stride, stride stride ahead, as no other
people ever increased in wealth, numbers, and
national power. At the rate at which we have
progressed for the last half century, in another
half century we will be as far ahead of every
other nation Of the globe, as England is at this
moment ahead of Spain. Russia, but for the
general prevalence of ignorance among her peo
ple-the necessity of her peculiar government
might be our rival at that time, but the intel
lectual darkness overshadowing most of the
Cars subjects forbids the idea of such a posi-
bility.
But quarter of century or so ago, Ohio
was deemed almost as far off from us, practi-
cally, as Oregon and Washington Territories are
now, and she was by no means as well devel-
Oped as Iowa is at this moment We we'll rec
ollect when Ohio was regarded as the "farWest.''
Already, however, she is in the very van of
development. VIE the following brief para

SUSPENDED PAYMENT.-The long-established
banking house of Pairo Nourse, in this city,
suspended this morning, owing, We hear, to
difficulty in realizing in these tight times at
the West, on their heavy investments In that
quarter. Their assets are regarded among the
bankers of Washington as being much larger
than their liabilities Indeed, we are informed
by banker in no way connected with them,
that they are at this moment worth three times
their liabilities.
They have assigned all their property, per-
sonal and real, to Mr.. S. c. Edes, a wealthy
gentleman of Baltimore, as trustee, for the ben
eft of all their creditors alike. Their circula-
ton will be instantly paid by the trustee on
presentation at their Office rr
The house of Pairo Nourse has long en-
joyed the confidence of this community, which
will be glad to learn that their suspension bids
fair to be but for very brief period There is
nothing in it to alarm any one as to the condi-
ton of any other Washington bank-publc or
private-or as to that of this community at
large, which never was easier in money matters
than at this time
TIE SAN FRANCISCO VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
merchant of San Francisco wrote (says the
New York Times by the last steamer, as fol-
lows:
a." In consequence of the reform brought about
by the Vigilance Committee, this city mas been
governed during the past year at an expense of
ABOUT S20OOOO, against an average expense the
previous years Of orer million fre hundred
thousand dollars, six times much as il now
costs Aside from the great benefits arising from
the repression OF outrage, tumult violence and
robbery, the saving of one and quarter million
of dollars per year TO our city, is worth all its has
cost to bring about the desirable results and
speaks loudly for the necessity of such a reform
If half this story be true, something or other
has wrought very remarkable change for the
better IN the municipal affairs of our Pacific
side commercial capital. Three years ago it
was the very sink of municipal iniquity Its
panacea should be universally known through
out the United States, that all the large cities
of the Atlantic side might avail themselves of
il.
We, however, expect that something more
than tho terror among eviI-doers inspired by
the acts of the late Vigilance Committee is at
the bottom of this wonderful improvement
The eomponents of the community of San Fran
cisco four years ago knew nothing of each other,
having been dropped down from the clouds, as
il were, in day. Since then, society has been
sifted there, and the chaff is no longer so init
mately mixed with the wheat as that few know
one from the other. Our theory is, that though
men aspiring to rule or lead any American
community may cheat the people once or twice
into favoring them above and beyond their de-
crts, IN the long run common sense and common
honesty asserts and surely re-establishes its
right to control public affairs everywhere in the
United States, except in communities essen
tally befogged with new-lightism.
