DEMOCRATIC FINANCIERING.-The very
laughable exploit of the Statesman. in try,

so as to cover the iniquities of Bresin de.

no serious effect except to show the weak
ness and desperation Of sinking cause,
which such an imaginary straw could BE-
expected to help. The banks mentioned
by Mr.. Chase were then, December.

comedies; nor is there the least evidence
that the word from Mr.. Chase had any
thing to do in determining Breslin to
make deposits in those banks.
What is very much more to the purpose,
IN this transaction of Breslin's, il is ascer-
lained that he continued to make deposits
with the City Bank of Cincinnati for near
Ly two gears after Ih0d failed to meet the
Treasurer's drafts, and for more than a

The editor Of the Charleston News, who
is regarded at the South, as one of the
ostexperienced political economists the
day, and wh@se view of financial matters is
always enIi,led to respectful consideration,
suggests as measure of relief for the pres
sure in the Money Market, that "an ad-
vance should be made by the Government,
of the surplus of twenty millions which
has accumulated in the Independent Treas
ury, to such Of the Banks in our chief cities,
as would secure repayment by the pledge OF
United States or State Stocks. "This
principle of relief has been acted on here
tofore, when the treasury has enjoyed re-
pletion and moneyed pressure has prevail
ed. Mr.. Guthrie has purchased United
States Securities above their par value. to
effect a Redistribution of funds which
have been Withdrawn too extensively
from circulation. That mode OF relief is
now impractlcable, for the holders will
not sell. An evil of precisely the same
kind has returned. The treasury has
been Withdrawn from the general chan
nels of circulation. We would not advo-
cate tamperlng with a system that has
worked well when speculation has been
rife, but certainly is Of too stringent opera
ton when pressure ard panic have super
vened. There is no sS stem of checks,
however, that does not call for relaxation at
such a period as the present A too rigid
is as bad as too lax enforcement. The
Govererent OF England interposes, at
times, in financial conjunct tnres. The as
surance of Government relief, ia the mode
suggested, would go great way IN bring
ing out boarded capital, asd for all purpo-
ses, moderate sum migbt be effectual. /"

The appalling loss of life on the Central
America has no parallel in the annals of
American steamship navigation. The near
est approach is the disaster which befel the
steamship Arctic on the 9Th September,
1854, by which something like three hun
dred and ii y lives were lost The steam
ship San Francisco, belonging to the Paci-
DC Mail Steamship ompanY, which foun-
dered in the Atlantic on the Goth Decem-
Der. 1853, was lost under circumstances
similar in many respects to the disaster
which has just occurred; but the number
of lives sacrificed was much less-not vary
ing far from two hundred, including one
hundred and fifty U. S. troops.
Taking a retrospect, with view to re-
count the various catastrophies which have
befallen ocean steamships owned in or ira
ding with the United States. We find that
the following have been entirely lost:

The FIEANcIAL PRESSURE finan-
cial affairs of the country have taken a de-
cidedly unfavorable turn within the last
week. The improvement previously noticed
has not only been lost, but we are now in
the midst of pressure more severe than
anything experienced since 1897. The
Philadelphia Banks suspended on Friday,
The baltimore and Pittsburgh Banks on
Saturday, and the Washington and Wheel
ing Banks on Monday. There were also
numerous suspensions on the part Of int.
rior Banks. The indications now are that
here must be general suspension Of spe-
Gle payment on that part Of the Banks Of
the country. within the next two or three
days. This is the only course that can b
adopted to save the mercantile interests
from prostration. and 10 bring general re-
lief The only bank notes at par in this
city now are: The issues ofthe State Bank
Of Ohio, Kentucky Banks, the Bank of tho
State Bank Of lndiana, and Louisiana
Banks. The amount of this paper in cir
culaion is, comparatively very small, COM
sequently, men who have notes to pay.in
bank, experience the greatest difficulty in
meeting their obligations; and those who
have payments to make in New York find
it impossible to purchase Exchange. There
is none to be had at any price, except in
very small sums.
As Yet, there have been only two or
three suspensions in this city, AMI these
are manufacturing firms; but unless the
banks suspend specie payment. our most
wealthy houses who do credit business
will be compelled to yield to the pressure.
The excitement is rasidly spreading all
over the country. There was great excite
ment in st. Louis yesterday All the pri-
vate banks were being run upon, and sew
erai were forced to suspend. In Chicago,
private banker suspend ed. The storm
is about at its heighth. 1t must soon cul-
