OF The Philadelphia Press, in view ol
the many recent bank failures and suspen.
sions' strongly urges reform in the whole
system. The Press says at is high
time that the business of secret, partial,
and corrupt banking should cease. II Is
time that the losses to labor in the midst
Of universal prosperity, plenty, and peace,
as a result OF failing banks, should be end

and credit to make his note good" at a
bank which refuses TO do the same thing
for It's creditors must be abandoned forev-
or. The favoritIsm Of the banks must be
given up.
Every paper dollar should be represent
cd by a silver dollar, and every man who

Il must be a terrible calamity to be a
great man-we never tried it--never in
tended to-we are sure we couldn't stand
| ii at all. To be watched by locals--to be
put in the papers-to be puifed-some-
times 10 be unpnffed, 1t is too much for q
man Of our modesty to bear, and we pity
those who have it to bear unless it is
agreeable-then we say lay it on thick,
provided the pay is liberal.
During vacation DIR. Daily took a stroll
to st. Louis-that any body might bear,
but when be got there, he was Polked
right into Lucas Place. We don't know
what kind Of place that is, but it must
be great place, but worse than that, those
omnipFssent locals who are always hunt
ing up folks, put him in the papers in the
following high-falutin style;
"Rev. Wm M. Daily, d. ID. L. L. D.,
OF the M. T.. Church, President Of the
State University of Indiana, and formerly
of tho old Fourth street Church Of this
city, will preach in the Asbury Methodist
E. Church Of this city, corner Of Morgan
and Fifteenth streets, on Sunday morning,
at 101 O'Clock, and in the First Methodist
L. Church, corner OF Eighth and Wash
ipgton Avenue, at o o'clock in the even
ing.
HDr. Daily occupies an enyiabls repu-
tatlon as pulpit orator-has for many
years filed the most important appoint
ments of his Church in his native State,
and served with great acceptability as
Chaplain in the lower House Of Congress.
He has many friends in st. Louis who
win be pleased to see him, after an absence
Of seventeen years, that he now re-visits
st. Louis, greatly improved in health and
intellectual ability. We understand he is
stopping during his visit here, with Gov.
Polk, on Lucas Place." t
With regard to this extravagant puff,
the Christian advocate thus quantity re-
marks:
"By whom this was indited or written
we do not know. There is about it a
spice Of bighfalutinism,' If we may be
allowed to use slang phrase, that ill ac-
cords with good sense or taste; and usual
iy men Of refined ssnsibility do not care
to be thus spoken Of fowavar the eisf
of this matter is, that when Sunday came,

viously left the city. giving as his reasons
for so doing, as we have been informed

which we hope they will continue to man.
ifest to all persons worthy, no matter
whence they come. True, In l848, Bish-
OPP Soule, DR.. @. Pierce, and some others,

The report Of the Auditor OF State of
the condition of Free Banks sim e comply
ing with his demand for increased secnri-
ties to meet the depreciation of stocks In
the East is an important document Esti-
mating the securities at the very lowest
rates to which they have decended du-
ring the panic-they exceed the amount
ofissues nearly ten per cent. Since this es-
innate was made stocks have advanced in
New Yosk about ten per cent making a
security for every bill Of the Banks embrac-
ed in the report, of twenty per cent more
than its face. II this does not make our
Free Bank issues safe, ID is simply be-
cause Indiana bonds are not worth
sixty-fve or seventy cents on the
dollar, at which they have been estimated
by the Auditor. We doubt if there is any
money in circulation anywhere that is so
entirely safe, and so impossible to be made
bad. If every bank fails. and every pro-
prietor fails, the Auditor has means
enough to redeem every dollar, aud leave
a surplus. The bills are, moreover, re-
commended by the State Treasurer, to be
received in payment of taxes. With such
guards and advantages, we sincerely be-
lieye that our citizens will be doing a wise
thing to seek for Free Bank bills, as the
best money to lay away if they want to
lay away any.-JourTaal.

GOV. wrightin Berlin .

All Berlin correspondents speak in terms
of unmeasured praise Of Gov. Wrighes
speech before the Evangelical Alliance
His speech produced great sensation,
though il had 10 DO interpreted before II
could be understood. Subsequently the
Americans had an interview with the King.
DR.. M'Clintick thus describes il
"From the Committee the King passed
on 10 the national deputations, conversine
with them in English, French, or German
as occasion required. The American dep.
utation standing first, he came toward us.
and seeing Gov. Wright, our ambassador,
at our head, he grasped him warmly by the
hand. and said "My dear Mr.. Wright, /
did not expect 10 sec you so SOON again,
but indeed, | am very glad TO see you I'm.
dor these circumstances" Mr.. Wright
then briefly addressed tho King. saving
that the "Americans had come from
great distance TO testify thor love for
Christian union, and 10 take part In what
ever measures might DO adopted at Berlin
for tho advancement Of the kingdom of
God. lie thanked tho King for the part
he had taken in summoning this conyen-
ton TO meet in this city, and lie hoped
that God would bless him In all his labors
for the spiritual and temporal welfare Of
the Prussian people"
When Bishop Simpson was presented,
the king asked him the name Of his Do
cese; the bishop replied that our episcopal
cy was not diocesan. "Ah,p said tho king,
ait IL then like that Of tho Ilerrenhunter,
that Is, something Of that Sort In this
way he found few appropriate words TO
utter 10 almost every prominent OF distln-
gushed person that was introduced 10 him,
and could not but admire the ease with
which ho o. pressed himself in English,
aud tho largo amount Of Information he
seemed to have at his finger onds. From
the Americans tho king passed on 10 the
other populations, and II took him nearly
two hours TO got through the whole.
Tho Governor presided at ono OF the
public meetings, which was thus announc-
oil by tho Berlin papers:
"AtsP. NJ, meeting for Christian
communion IN the Hotel do Russio; his

The steamship Atlantic arrived at New
York last week, with four days later news
from Europe, and fortnight's later adyi,
ces from India. Delhi was still in the
hands of the rebels on the 18th of August.
Gen. Nicholson had arrived in adycncs of
his forces, which were expected in two or
three days, when the whole number Of
troops before the city would be swelled to
eleven thousand men. 1t is said that an
assault was to DO made on the 10th of
August, but this is highly improbable. In
numerous skirmishes the British had been
victorious, but with considerable loss. 1t
was reported, but on doubtful authority,
that the mutineers were leaving Delhi by
hundreds, and that tho King offered 10
make terms on condition of being paid
thirty instead Of fifteen lakhs Of rupees an
nually. 1t is said that he was informed
that nothing but an unconditional surrend-
der would be accepted. The Punjaub is
tranquil, and the Sikh troops still loyal.
But all Bengal was in state Of alarm,
and fugitives were flocking to Calcutta.
New mutinies had taken place in the
Bombay Presidency, and it was thought
that there would be a general revolt I'M
less Delhi speedily fell. Accounts with
reference TO the movements of Gen. Have
lock, who has been created Major General
and Knight of the Order of Bath, are con-
flicting; but the balance Of proof seems to
show that he has not reached Lucknow.
Lord Canning and Sir Colin Cambell had
had falling out, and Lord Elgin had sid
ed with the latter. On the whole the news
is very gloomy.

p. Chace is reelected Governor of Ohio
by amsjority Of between one and two
Thousand, which might be "glory enough
for one day." we have intelligence render
ing it fixed fact that Marcus j. Parrott
is elected Congressional delegate from
Kansas, by majority Of five thousand,
and that both houses of the Legislature
are in the hands Of the Republicans. Also
that the Tenth Congressional District OF
this State, where there was an election to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death
Of Hon. Samuel Brenton, has been carried
by the Republicans, who have elected
their candidate, Chas. Case, Esq. by near
thousand majority; and, also, that the
State Of Iowa has gone Republican again,
electing Republican Legislature, which
will elect Republican United States SEN
ator, In place of Jones, doughface Of
small capacity. Still more Minnesota is
Republican, by strong vote, and has
elected her first State Legislature Repub-
lican, which will have to elect two good
Republicans to the United States Senate.
10 this County, Mr.. New, Republican, was
elected clerk by small majority, notwith-
standing the most determined opposition.
On the whole the Republicans have abun-
dant cause for rejoicing. Pennsylvania
has gone old line, let her go-ditto, first
District in Indiana. The Kansas election
is glory enough for one time. Notwith-
standing the standing army. the Republi-
cans have carried everything. We wait
the developments with anxiety. We
shall see whether, in the face of this pop
ular demand for freedom, the pro-slavery
party will yet make a slave states Of it.

ONE OF THE FAST YOU'VE MEN.-Green-
berry o. Mullenix, who murdered his
wife on the 10th Of April last, was SEN
fenced by Judge Hanna, to be hung on
the Goth Of November, between the hours
Of 10 A. M. and 2P. NJ. He lives in
the southern part of Putnam County.
This youth was decidedly one Of the
fast boys; notorious for his wild reckless
behaviour. He stubbornly resisted pa
rental control, quarrelled with his mother
and at one time threw chair at her, then
seizd her by the throat and checked her
until she fell to the floor.
He married an amiabie young lady, and
in less than four weeks beat out her brains
with an AK. According to his own con-
fession. he had brought the ak into the
house 10 warm Il, while his wife was pre-
pairing breakfast, and when she was stoop-
ing over the stove with her back towards
him he struck her upon the back Of her
head, and after. she had fallen, struck her
upon the side Of her face and on her FORE
head. Then he went to his fathers who
lived near, and reported that somebody
had come and killed his wife.

Premium nIoIasscs.

Outsiders as we'll as some of the COM
petitors for premiums on table comforts,
were not little surprised at some Of the
awards at the State Fair. Some charged
the committees errors to Partially, and
some to their not knowing any better. The
latest and best apology that we have heard,
is that the committees kept tasting and tast-
ing, till they couldn't discriminate tastes,
In fact till they got sick. We don't won
der There were so many good things
there-so much better than most Of the
committees use at home, every day, or
even Sunday, that we don't wonder that
they tasted deep at first. 1t was through
this mishap, we suppose, that Mrs. Aaron
Masters beautiful molasses failed. In our
opinion, aud we are Judge on the molass-
es question, Mrs. Masters and Mrs. ID. o.
Allen exhibited a superior article TO any
that took the premium. We know that
the article exhibited by Mrs. Masters could
