a Home Kick at Black Republi

The Cincinnati Commercial, by com
mon consent, has been considered the
most able and influential organ of the
Black Republican party in Ohio. But
the corruption, deception, profigacy and
populations of the leaders and wire pull
ers Of that party, have so utterly dis
gustod the Commercial, that its conduc-
tors do not hesitate to kick poor Sambo
as he is going to his political grave
That paper says:
"Thore is nothing at issue in the cam
paign-the trumpery platforms to the
contrary Notwithstanding, and if VIC are
not very much mistaken, party leaders,
candidates, stump orators, vigilance COM
mittees and the like. will when they c3me
to make the trial, find the manufacture
of enthusiasm an sup hill business" The
thing is reduced to a toss up, and at this
present writing, we really cannot prevail
upon ourselves to care very much which
wins"
Remember, reader, that this confess
sion comes from a "Rerublican" paper,
that was never known to say a flvora-
bic word of the Democracy. But the
enormous rascalities of Gibson & Co.,
have knocked Republicanism "higher
Commercial, is still more pointed and
severe than The editor. He says
"Cursed be the towards and Williams who
have blasted the hopes of the people, in
the Republican party" Kick them
again-they have no friends!-M. Yer
non Banner.

DR. WIN.

We much regret to learn, by the fol
lowing paragraph, which We clip from
the editorial correspondence of the Ohio
Eagle, that DIR. TREV1TT has accepted
the CoDsulship to Valparaiso, which was
recently rendered him by Mr.. BUoHAN
ADJ. We would have been glad to have
spared several thousand other men than
the Doctor:
DIR. Trevitt has accepted the Valpa-
raiso Consulship, and was here a few
days ago making preparations for hi:
departure. The DR.. is we'll fitted for
the post. His residence in Mexico, his
acquaintance with the language and hab.
its of the people, his energy and long
experience in official position, all qualify
him for the duties of his new position.

Whv tha Great Hurry.
State Treasury and Trust Company
JVIere rs Governor Chase!

State Treasury and Trust Company
Where as Governor CkaSeI
Our readers have been advised that,
on the receipt Of the news of the failure
of the Agency of the Trust Company,
the Auditor of this State loft Columbus
by the first train for New York. 1t
was given put at the time that the State
was indebted to the Agency, and could
not, therefore, be a loser. But the idea
that the Auditor, an agent of the debt
or, should be so alarmed at the failure
of the creditor as to make him haste with
lightning speed to the scene of trouble,
was too ridiculous to deceive any one.
We are now informed from a private
source that the State has from one to one
and a half millions deposited with the
Trust Company Agency for the redemp-
ton of the bonds of the State due JAN
uary l, 1897. If that be true, and we
have no reason to doubt it, the suddenness
of our Auditors departure is readily ex-
planned.
But where is Governor Chase? Had
he not better give some attention to the
this time, and let Kansas and the So
clal aDu pOllIsc4l TlSuIS Oh tue UtdchS
slide for awhile? We think he may be
able in that way to do his constituents
some substantial service.
Tie loss of a million or a million and
a half, on the back of the lately discov-
eaed robbery of the State Treasury,
will he a serious blow to the credit of
the State. aud cause it's stock to fall
considerably below par. We hope the
Auditor, who is now in New York city,
may soon be euabled to relieve the anx-
ioty that must be felt by the tax-paying
citizens of Ohio in reference to this re-
ported loss.
Our readers should be reminded, in
this connection, that, when the question
as to depositing the fuads of the State
in the Trust Company was before the
Legislature last winter, the Democrats
of that body urged that the Company
should be required to give security to
the State for the safety of its deposits.
That the Republicans would not hear
to, nor would they agree that the State
should have an agency of its own--
Nothing would do but the Trust Compa-
ny, and no security must be required
Should the State suffer to the extent now
reported, the folly of extending so gene
rous a confidence to banking institutions,
as repositories of largo sums, will be
painfully apparent Cincinnati En-
quirer.

IS BABYLON THE GREAT HAS
EALLEN.ss

FALLEN.o
The Ohio Life and Trust Co., has I'M
doubtedlY gone down beyond redemp-
ton. Next to the United States Bank,
it was the most powerful and dangerous
monied institution in the country. 1t
had power unlimited, as to number and
to time. 1t could do anything "by
law" and its charter was perpetual
The Legislature spent all its munificence,
and even parted with its o~mnipotence in
granting it corporate powers. 1t stood
at the head of that infamous brood of
privileged orders,
"Who rob us of cur rights,
And tell US tits their charter.
The like we ne'er shall see again
T~wenty-three years has worked a great
change in the opinion of the people as
to the necessity or democracy of such
publican country like this 1t is the
last of the Mohicans, and its mammoth
remains might as well be gathered up
for the benefit of political 'showmen, and
the future historian.-CLereLand Plain
dealer.
IL The Life and Trust Co. was the
peculiar "hope AID expectancy of this
Republican dynasty. Indeed, it o,Oned
the Republican party, and CHASE g. Co.
may be reckoned among its assets.
From the date of its charter, by the
Legislature of l834-'35, its monster
powers have been the object of unceas-
ing warning by the Democratic Party.
From the moment it first drew breath,
it has been engineered by the leaders of
the party antagonistic to the Democracy.
Mr.. ALFRED KELLEY, the father of tie
present rotten and dying State Bank
system, was for years, and is now, we
believe, one of the principal managers
of the Life and Trust Company.
With the exception of come of the
Western Rail Road Monopoliea, which
have been obtained through Congression-
al corruption, the Ohio Life Insurance
and Trust Company, twenty years hence,
would have been the greatest Land own
er in the West. The taxable valuation
of It's loans, in 1856, as returned under
tho oath of its President, amounted to
THREE MILLION SIX HUNDRED
AND THIRTEEN TIL USAND
AND THIRTY SEVEN DOLLARS
AND SIXTY-THREE CENTS. OF
the eighty-eight counties in Ohio, it had
lis fangs upon all except seventeen
Ashland county, we are glad to observe,
is among the seventeen.
Violent, therefore, as has been its
end-great as has probably been the less
to the public Treasury, through the
"positive weakness" of GIBSON, CHASE,
WRIGHT s. Co., in consequence of their
financial complications with this institu-
tion-deplorable as will probably be
its results to the business interests of
the State-involying, as it probably will,
in its fall, the entire State Bank system
of Ohio, with which it was indissolubly
connected we yet think that every in
telligent freemen, who has more interest
in tie liberties and equal rights of the
white people of Chic, than lie has in the
elevation of the handful of Africans
among US, will be disposed to rejoice
that he has lived to see the downfall of
the great Land and MoneyeL Monopoly,
had it continued, was destined to
rule all the departments of the State
Government, and reduce the great mass
Of the %cultivators of the soil into mere
at will.

saw the Fulton off Capo Race on the

The steamer Asia arrived at Liver
pool at 8 A. NJ. on the 10th
The news by this arrival is unimpor-
tant.
The Directors of the Atlantic Tele-
graph Company were to hold a special
meeting in London the day the Atlantic
sailed to consider whether the attempt
should be renewed in October, or defer
ed till another summer
The London Star says it is estimated
that the outside loss that the Company
will sustain will be about %, 900 pounds.
It is fully expected that at least one
half of the sunken cable will be recov-
cred. All that is within 400 fathoms
will be got up, but that portion in deep
sea will in all probability never be recov-
cred.
The proceedings of Parliament were
uninteresting.
The recent storms and foods had done
considerable damage to the crops, etc..
in various parts of England, but dry
weather had prevailed during the days
preceding the Atlantic's departure, and
it was reported that the effects of tho
rain would be much alleviated.
The London Times stys q merchant
recently deceased at Liverpool is said
to nave left liabilities reaching 800, 900
pounds of which 100000 arc thought
to be forged acceptances to bills of ex-

XXI EgS.

TEE CRASE AMONG BANKS AMI
BANKERS.
Since our last issue, JOHN THOMPSON
a noted Wall Street Broker, and Editor
of Thompson's Reporter, has failed.
ATWOOD & Co., MT of the largest
moneyed concerns in New York, have
failed with several millions of Western
acceptances in their hands.
The Reciprocity Bank, Buffalo, sus-
pended on Saturday.
The Banking House of Franklin &
Sons, Newark, Ohio;
The Hollister Bank, Buffalo and
The Warren Bank, Pa, stopped on
Monday.
Also, on yesterday, departed this life
The Clinton Bank, Buffalo, N. Y;
and the
Sackets Harbor Bank, n. Y.
Also, have recently "goae up the
following:
Rhode Island Central Bank, r. L.
Tiverton Bank, Fall River, Il. [.
Farmers Bank, Wexford, r. L.
Bank of Kanawha, Maldon, Va.
Warren Co. Bank, Warren, Pa.
The entire system is rotten, and we
know not what a day or an hour may
bring forth. The National Sub Treas
ury and the California mine products
have postponed the evil day; but the
paper money system must perform its
allotted cycle.
Twenty years ago, a financial storm
swept over the country, which brought
bankruptcy to the Federal Treasury,
Notwithstanding it had thirty odd mill
ions of paper money at its command
drove States to reputation, and made
the passage of a Bankrupt law for the
benefit of debtors, a matter of necessity.
That storm gave birth to the National
Sub-Treasury.
If the present calamities will evolve
a Sub-Treasury for Ohio, by which a
complete divorce from Banks, Bankers
and Fund-moDgers can be obtained, the
people of our State will eventually be
compensated for their recent losses; and
when the next Rag Money crisis comes,
her Treasury will be as unaffected by it
as that of the Federal Government is by
the existing panic.
