DEATH OF JUDGE rREBI.E.

The telegraph announces the death OF Hon VIM
Pitt Preble at his residence in Portland Maine, on
the 18th instant after only three days illness His
age was about IA years. He was one Of the ablest
men of the State. AS an advocate and judge he had
few superiors. Prior to 1880 he was for several
years upon the supreme bench of the State. In the
irst term of Gen Jackson's administration he was
sent as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo-
tertiary to the Hague TO assist in the settlement of
the northeastern boundary question. His protest
against the award of the King of the Netherlands
was regarded at the time most able pa
per- and it served to throw much light on that
subject. Subsequently he was appointed of
the commissioners Of the State, who met in this
city, and finally gave his sanction, though reluctant
y TO the mode of settlement carried out by the Web
ster and Ashburton treaty, Since that time he has
not taken active part in the public questions of
the day, though he has ceased 10 manifest
deep interest in all the local matters which concern
ed the prosperity and honor Of his State. He was
one of the pioneers if not the foremost man. in set
ting on foot and carrying through that great work,

meets Portland with Montreal and Quebec. In poll
tics Judge Prebe firm and consistent national
democrat.

THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.

From the North, East, West, and few localities
in the South advces in relation to business and
financial matters continue to be of the most gloomy
character. In addition TO bank failures by dozens,
we have now to record the bankruptcy of three of
the largest railroad companies in the United States
the Reading, the Illinois Central and the New York
and Erie. The first continues with its business
in spite of protested paper the last two have made
assignments for the benefit of their creditors.
The Pennsylvania legislature have done nothing
as yet although at last accounts the indications were
that the lower house would adopt in a modified
shape, the s'relef b'' which passed the senate.
A final adjournment was to have taken place yes
terday.
Under the head of 1.-THE Disasters of the Day, .
we find the following in the New York Evening Post
of Saturday:
Joseph H. Corlies & Co.. well-known dry-goods COM

be worth three or four times their liabilities, and went to
protest from inability to procure 81 900 1t is to
be presumed that their suspension will be but temporary
Mr. Cores the senior partner has been than forty
years in business in this city, part of the time
Der of the well known Quaker firm of Corles, Haydock,
Co.. and has always been distinguished for his prudent
business habits.
The Bowery Bank of this city, and the Central Bank,
of Brooklyn, stopped yesterday
Henry A. Colt who has long been regarded as one of
weathcst citizens, and whose business operations
have been very limited in proportion to his means
obliged to let his paper go to protest yesterday for the
want of some five six thousand dollars The charac-

though ultimate loss is likely to be sustained by his
creditors
John M. Genin the halter, has also been obliged to
suspend He has been doing very large business his
sales amounting to $500 900 year He hopes to
get extension and pay in full.

SOME OF THE BEAUTIES OF BANKING.

''In conclusion, will depict for you Illinois bank

past finding out FROM the bills, and often can
in no way be asccrtained- For a time they are
received, but soon become worthless and then the
professed wealthy responsible parties do not come
forward and pay and the people suffer. These are
of the fruits of bad system. They win null
tiply while il continues. The time has now arrived
to discuss it and TO apply the constitutional remedy
instead of the illegal proposed In the keystone
State. We propose hereafter to say something Of
the origin and history Of banks, and TO state what
kind we deem constitutional, and that may be
useful with honest management.

THE FINANCIAL CRISIS UNITED STATES
ST0rES

The operations of the independent treasury during
the present financial crisis have been more beneficial
to the commercial interest of the country than its
most sanguine friends anticipated At the time of
the greatest pressure upon the money market the
Secretary Of the Treasury enabled to disburse
from the vaults of the treasury large amounts Of
specie which have gone into the banks and into gen
eral circulation affording relief to an extent
unexpected. The policy adopted by the Sec
of the Treasury to bring in the outstanding stdcll
the government has met with universal approval
and all parts Of the country unite in commentator
of the happy operations of the indepcndent-neas
system.
The Secretary determined to go to the extent that
the law and due regard for the interest of the gov
eminent would admit. With this view, he has con-
tinued to redeem the outstanding stock until there
only remains about half million which he is author
lied under the law to apply to this purpose.
Whether the banks have responded in their action
to this and other specie facilities which have been
afforded them, by giving their customers proper
lief in the way of loans, &c, is question upon
which we will not pronounce premature judgment
The first duty of the banks is to their billholders
and depostors but at the time the protection of
their customers where it can be DONE is essential to
their own interest If the customers of bank break
and unable to meet their liabilities the bank ne
cessarily follows in the wake,

This is but example Of hundred of cases Of indiy

demonstrated that had the democratic policy Of not run
ming in debt for the canal enlargement but Of applying
the surplus to its construction been adhered to
our canals would have been completed, with sur.
plus in the treasury and with the State in the receipt
a magnificent annual revenue from the canal tolls But
the democratic policy departed from and the runn
debt policy of the Seward politicians adopted and the
result is
The canals not completed
The State has suspended payment for the work already
done them
The State is burdened with canal debt Of raty6a
millions Of d.aiars;
This debt must be collected out Of the tax payers the
State.
The State tax to be collected this fall is increased o
