country, in the course of events, comes
around to another revulsion. We find an
other storm pouring cut its wrath upon US.
Inc people are in distress, and viii be.stilE
more SO. A large number of the honest
andisincere men Of the country, who can III.
aHoFd IT. are likely to lose more or less by
suspending and failing banks. Under the
atfiiction they likely to turn their, faces
against these institutions, and have ali their
prejudices towards them renewed. Now
IS the time to operate on this sentiment );
and whether it is just or not, whether it is
permanent or not, we behold the keen-scent-
ed leaders of democracy striking for the
whole bulk Of political capital it is likely
TO create They do not take time to ex-
anime the ground-they scorn all consider
atoms ofrelief-it seems that they act up
on the supposition that the greater the suf-
fering, the more they will gain. If the
child falls upon the fire and is burned, the
discreet mother upbraids the fire, and if
rebuking the fire will quiet the child, the
fire mast be rebuked The banks have
started down the hill, and their arrival at
the bottom must be accelerated by kicking
them. The cry Of hlrd money is again
sounded, and the question with them is not
how to relieve the country, but how soon
est to get rid of all banks. These men,
many Of them, who have been receiving ac-
commodations from the banks, and using
them for their convenience and advance
ment in business, have suddenly discover
ed that they have been dealing with mon
sters. To offer comments on such facts as
these, would be to reflect upon tire com
mon sense and common understanding of
our readers. We present them merely as
an average specimen Of the course of the
democracy. 1t is only one Of many illus
tratons Of the ordinary custom of that par
ty which sets up its political sign boards,
with the index finger pointing in one direc-
ton, while their real line of travel is in the
opposite direction.
CORR TIoN.-In our article ofSaturdsy in regard
to the Planters Bank, a typographical error was
overlooked in reading the proof sheet The sur
pius profits of the Bank retained for contingencies
were stated to be s33, 1877 O6-it should have been
$685.. I27 O6, as the footing up showed.

We copy the following from the Cincinnati Price
Current, OF the 2Ist 200 "a sass-r


We are nov opon the rbresicli, 80 TO speak, OF

GEN. HENNINGsEN.-W had tine pleasure of
meeting this distinguished gentleman in our Office,
last evening, and oferjoying conversation Of CON
siderable length with him The General looks as
though blessed with robust health, and every inch
the soldier he has proved himself to be in several
quarters OF the globe. Should he return to Mica
ragua, we trust he may, we hope his future will
be crowned with laurels unfadIng and prosperity
perpetual. Gen. Walker and himself are destined,
according to. our confident belief, to become the
leading Instruments in the regeneration of Central
America-the farest and richest region the sun
shines upon during his durnal course through the
heavens.--N. o. Crescent, IStA

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.-The late foreign news
mentions the significant fact that the bullion in the
Bank OF England has decreased since July $780,
600 sterling, or nearly $4,000 600. The supply
from Australia and all other sources has not been
sufficient to prevent this decrease, caused by the
foreign demand. large part of the coin must have
been transported to India, aud it is not probable
the drain in that direction win eeuse for some time
Instead of shipments of specie from the United
States to fill the void, as some English 6nanciers
predict there is greater resson believe that the
state OF things here viii deplete England of IA:
precious met.ls, and restore to some portion Cd
the coin we have lost il past times.

WAsuINGToE NOT French AARaHAL.--A state
ment went the rounds Of the press some months
ago, on the authority of the late Mr. Custis, 10 the
feet that in our revolutionary times, the French
governments conferred on Washington the title Of
Marshal Of France The statement arrested the
vigiaut eye Of Hr Walsh ia Paris, who, distrusiing
its correctness, Addressed note on the subject to
Marshal Vai,I4nt. the French Nnisterof War The
FLOWING i Marshal Vailiants reply:
No trace OF dscree comforting on General " zb-
inetop The dignity OF marshal has been found IN the
archives OF this ministry. The research .heeau at
she dnt,-of the treaty OF alliance FEB, l77s l-gud
carried down as far as 1885, three years after The
conclusion OF the pace (0et, 1888 shas produced
no othrr result. there is an order of Count de
ROciauibpau 18th } in, 1850 hi directs that
the honors due to a marshal of Franc should be

This must be accepted as finally disposing of the
matter Z" 'If the title had been bestowed" re-
marks Sir. Walsh, ''surely the evidence would not
be wanting in the official register OF the appoint
ments Of Marshal" And we presume that nobody
will dis oute the force of this rehecteu. OF course

TIE Nottingham lace manufacturers have
been touched up 10 the time of four hundred
and fifty Thousand dollars, by the failure of
New York house, ard severe losses were
limited at in Liverpool and Manchester
Among the curious aspects If the hour,
SAYS the New York Mirror, are the effects
upon our domestic habits, wants, and expen-
ditures. Carriages are being laid down rapid
", and horses are offered at one-haf their val
ne. The iobbers are doing little or nothing;
the fancy shops nothing at all. The theaters
are not oVer-flled-exoept, perhaps, Burton's,
where the crowd rushes nightly 10 see the
peerless Cushman. Wallack's broke down with
Heron, and cannot sustain itself under the pres
ent management Dor wilh its stereotyped
company NiblOps SIM invites the public with
its beautiful spectuclss and It's cheerful, pleas
ant aspect, like the manager himself. And
the Broadway keeps itselt alive with the Ron
Zani troupe. still there is but little spending
of money at the theatres generally, in the
present state of things.
A writer in the Herald proposes that all per-
cons having gold and silver ornaments, watches,
bracelets, and articles of that sort, shall take
them TO the Assay Office have then melted
down, and draw the cash for them. he esti-
mstes that tie SUN of ten millions Of dollars
would be set 10 circulation at once by thi, oper
alton 1t is a good idea such things have hap
pened before now, and 10 is better that these
should go TO the Assay Office than to the pawn
brokers'. 81 .
We find in dry goods the most astonishing
decline of prices. In eoJtous, linens, cloths,
and silks, there is d very sudden depreciation;
80 in made-up garments. Brussels carpets may
be bought for six shillings Il yard, a crcum-
stance never before known in this country
Real estate is at siand-stlll, but il is sure TO
come ap IN tire maiu, though it must fall ia
particular localities. Rents Of stores must 60
down We DO not require marble psisces TO buy
or sell goods in. Pretty places, indeed, SAY 5
Fancy Fern, 10 keep old wooden boxes in. Tie
100000 rents will fall before year to less
than one IAN that sum; and 50 they might,
Tor there Is nothing whatever 10 Justify SUCH
extravaganza.
