EngIIsh Horses COMM.

New YORK, Oct. 8.
The English people of the sporting class, seem
to commsserate the il-success OF our American
horses 10 England And slight balm to our
wounded pride, it ia stated that a number of Brit
ish horses will be sent to this country to contest
our ayers" on our own soil. The opinion among
them seems to prevail, that Mr.. TEN BROECKs
hOrses-PryOr and PrioresS, (Lecompte is ruled
out, are no great shakes; 80 tuey wish to bring
over some of their horses, and see if we have any
thing at home better than those now abroad, and
worth competing with The gentlemen mentioned

stephen ALIENS Poke, piece.

In the pocket book of the Hon. Stephen Allen,
who was drowned from on board the Henry Clay,
was found printed slip, apparently cut from a
newspaper, Of which the following is a copy:
keep good company, or none. Never be idle.
If your hands can't be Usefuly employed attend to
the cultivation of your mind. Always speak the
truth. Make few promises. Live up to your en-
gagements. Keep your own secrets, if you have
any. When you speak to person, look him in the
face. Good company snd conversation are the very
sinews of virtue. Good character is above all
things else. Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your acts. If any one speaks
evil of you let your life be so that no one will be.
lieve him. Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors
Ever live misfortune excepted) within your in.
come. When you retire to bed think over what you
have been doing during the day. Make no haste to
be rich, if you would prosper. Small and steady
gains give competency with tranquility Of mind.
Never play at any game OF chance. Avoid temp
tatiOn; though you fear you may not Withstand il.
Earn money before you spend it. Never run into
debt unless you see a way to get out again. Never
borrow if you possibly avoid it. Do not marry
until you are able to support wife. Never speak
evil of any one. Be just before you are generous.
Keep yourself innocent, if you would be happy.
Save when you young to spend when you are
old. Read over the above maxims at least once q
week

The Money Crisis.

There is no improvement in money affairs in New
York or New Orleans, aud the soun1er opinion
seems now to DE that none can be relied on till the
arrival of gold from Europe which can hardly
reach New York before the 25Eh inst. Whether
general Suspension in those cities or general
bankruptcy be averted, until that period, is
the absorbing question. All can do is hope
fully to await future developments So far as the
banks of Kentucky are concerned, have no
app rehensons The drain for coin has almost ca
tirely ceased. Public confidence remains unshak-
en-, and We now see no good reason why these in
sttutions may not continue the even tenor of their
way, undisturbed by anything that has yet occur
red. We are delighted to fed that our friends
in the country, the farmers and mechanics, show
no disposition to hoard gold or make any draft up
on the banks. On the contrary, .everal instances
have occurred aOhere gold has been brought in from
the country, sold at premiam, aWd the amount
loaned In this city good security and at a fair
rate of interest. spirit and confidence like this
cannot be too highly commended.
The tel graph advises the suspension of three
small banks in the city of New York. These were
banks of small capital and their dePositors were OF
class easily alarmed, and the suspension has been
caused doubtless by panic among the small deal
ers and depositors.- Jour.

The sham Democracy of Tennessee
Their Constituency and Regard for

The sham Democracy of Tennessee
Their Consistency and Regard for
Law.
In 1887, the wing members of the Leg.
islature of Tennessee proposed to elect
U. S. Senator to succeed Mr.. Grundy,
whose term of Office expired on the Attn of
March, 1889. The proposition was Bit
terly opposed by the sham democratic men,
bers. A. o. P. NICHOLSON, of Maury, j.
G. GUILD, Of Sumner, and his colleague of
the lower house, Mr.. BLEDsoE, were
amongst those who made speeches against
it. Mr.. Nicholson conceded the constitu-
tionality Of the election, but argued against
and denounced it as inexpedient. Mr..
Guild said if it was not unconstitutional
it was against the spirit of the republican
institutions of the country" Mr.. Bledsoe,
among other things said
! "Auow me, sir, to affirm, and that, too, without
hazard that il the exercise Of doubtful powers is
/ discarded, for aversion 30 which Tennessee has
always been distinguished, and give prevalence
TO the strict dsmOcrdtic doctrines Of the Federal
! Constellation the election Of Senator cannot Be
brought oR nOs; Uu If, on the other hand, this sa-
/ violated the sovereign power OF
| the peoplr will be usufp d, aud the great Magna
Charts of American liberties made sacrifice at the

dominant Wing party, Is directly at variance Uith

their seduloHs Investigation has been the hnding OF

After a thorough discussion OF the
proposition the vote was taken, and all
the sham democratic members present
recorded their vote against Il; thus com.
hitting the party against the constitu-

ceeding from the sham democratic side of
the Senate, has been made to elect sue
cessor to Mr.. Bell in advance of the expi-
ration of his term, and if it be adopted, as
it doubtless viii, it viii determine the re-
gard the party has for consistency.
In ls4l, there being two vacancies in
the United States Senate from this State,
to be filed, Gov. johnson and other
sham democratic Senators discovered that
1t was unconstitutional to elect Senators
by Convention of the two Houses, as
mad been the practice since the forma-
ton OF the State Government. There
fore, when resolution was adopted pro-
VldIng for such Convention, and the day
Tor It's meeting arrived, they refused to
attend and remained in their seats in the
Senate Chamber, thus defeating the object
OF the Convention, quorum of Senators
not being present. Sham Democratic
members Of the House when the Conven-
ton assembled in their Hall, subsequently,
declared it was promiscuous body" had
no right to be there, picked up their hats
and left. These high-handed and revolu-
tionary measures, defeated an election alto
gether, and left the State for two years
without representation in the United States
Senate. Here we have notable instance
of the regard of Sham Democracy for law,
when it erects baricade between them
and their wishes. One of the notorious
Senators who refused to join the Conven-
ton and thereby violate the Constitution,
does not now scruple to violate Consti.
tuition by accepting the office of the Sena,
tor to which he has been elected by an IN
constitutional body, according to his OWL
views.
We recur to these "reminiscences to re
fresh the memory of Sham Democrats O
this day, who may have forgotten them
We hope they will consider them well.

The New YORK RaDks.

The news from the city of New York is anything
but pleasant in these times of disaster. Our tele-
graphic dispatches Of yesterday announced the
suspension of the East River Bank We heard re-
ports last night also of the Chatham Bank and the
Grocers' Bank that added to the gloomy news. II
may be WE'LL however TO state that neither of these
banks stand among the financial monarchs Of Goth
am The Chatham Bank has a capital of only
$500, 900, the East River $3I9,9lS, and the Gro
GERS $500, 900 In the West these would be pref
ty considerable banks, but in New York they are
small concerns.
In New York City there are ffty-six banks, with
an aggregate capital of 500 ,567, 756. On the 81
instant they had in specie in their vaults 81, AGO. =
Alb, with circulation Of $7,916, l02. Tneir dis
counts for the week ending Oct. 81. were $l05,.
935, 49, and their deposits S67,97865
These vast figures will at once indicate the dis
aster that would follow the suspension of the lead
ing banks of New York City The people may
care but little for those that have fallen, but should
the Commerce, with its capital OF So, 222, 900, or
the American Exchange, with its 81, GA $50, or
the Metropolitan with its So SOC, 900, the Man
haitian, Mechanics, New York, American, R-pub
lie, Continental or Park, with their s., 900 900 and
ards;-should either OF these mammoth insti-
lions suspend it would be the beginning of trouble
to which we yet strangers.-Lo". Courier.
