In the Matter of Etoard N. Dicksrson and Frederick
Sickes The Nr York and Liverpool United States Mail
Steamship Compony-The motion in this cause was to
strike out parts of the complaint. Messrs James r.
Brady and f. Byrnc appeared for the plaintiffs and Mr.
Cutting for the defendants. Mr. Cutting said that
plaintiffs, proprietors of patent right known the
"Sickies cut off," had sued tho Collins Steamship Com
pany Che deiendants) for work and labor done the
plaintiffs had gone into a long and able pleading,
bracing an interesting biography Of the steamship
Adriatc, which, he presumed be attributed to the
legal and literary abilities Of his friend Mr. Byrne The
complaint also enters into the particulars OF contract
made between the plaintiffs and the Novelty Works
which had undertaken 10 make the engines the
steamship but failed in doing SO. The plaintiffs next
set forth that the patentees Of two improvements for
the fame and reputation they should acquire thereby
place their apparatus In the Adrisc, and apply their
necessary materials The plaintiff, proceeded with the
performances OF the proposed Improvement but were OBJ:
str1csd by the def.ndants sSwog persons connected

were: premstuely set to work. when "nOt pro,
the machinery not suitable, the defend
ants discharged the plaintiffs from all control
over the engines of the Adriatc and refused to allow
them proceed further thus "fame and rcputa
ton" OF having put her engines working order had been
insured TO the Novelty Works and plaintiffs claim 600
Mr. Cutting argued that ell in relation to fame and repu

should be stricken out
Mr. Brady opposed the notion and stated that Whatever
there OF "literary ability In the drawing
OF the complaint he would take II upon himself. The
plaintiffs had undertaken 10 do this feat gratutousy
for the honor OF American mechanism because the
sell which had them three times the sum of any

This Is very good so far goes but IT does not 20
far enough. We have In but few instances the
amount of liabilities given, and we have but por.
ton Of the suspensions enumerated. We have no
doubt the failures can be counted by hundreds and
that the aggregate liabilities will sum up hundreds of
millions of dollars. While the Bank of England was

ON the Continent were going down by the dozeus'
The Bank Of England undoubtedly. under the cir.
cumstances pursued the wsest policy, In exercising
is powerful influence 10 allay the panic but IL is
question II the internal affairs Of the houses propped
by its assistance, Is not such M TO ultimately result
IN their collapse and dissolution. There can be no
doubt that the condition OF commercial houses
throughout Europe has for long time been of the
most rotten description. For years they have been
doing business upon false basis and for years they
been lingering along, liable to collapse at any mo
ment. The machinery Of trade throughout Flu.
rope worked well and smoothly enough until
some difficulty occurred in our financial affairs,
which for the moment shut down on remittances.
The. temporary suspension on this side was enough
for II arrested for the moment the motive power,
and the working of the intricate ramidcations of
credit at once stopped. II ia nonsense 10 attribute
the of the financial revulsion which has spread
over the entire commercial world to the enormous
speculative movements alone Of our people, for il
bad in reality very little 10 do with il. The entire
system Of credits throughout Europe and America
had become 20 inflated, 40 enormously expanded,
that collapse was the inevitable result. The only
remedy is in liquidation. Legislation Is powerless.
The only true way IS TO let things alone. We do not
want any tinkering Of financial and commercial
systems. The disease will work out its own cure II
left to the operation Of natural influences. The
whole business OF the community is to get out Of
debt in the shortest possible time. aud they can
best do that Without legislative aid.

ket remains without material alteration. In the
street capital is abundant and cheap. On call with

ever, and IL Is full difficult TO make loans as at
any time last year. The Secretary Of the Treasury
does not receive deposits for Treasury notes as IA
pidly as anticipated. The impression prevails in
Washington that a combination exists among our
banks in opposition to the issue Of Treasury
notes. Nothing can be more absurd. The
difficulty originated ut Washington, and II must be
removed before any amount of money can be raised.
The trouble in the first place, is in the rate of in

notes. The rate Of interest Is neither thing nor
another. II Ia not high enough for investment and
not low enough for the general circulation of the
notes. We suggested onesixth of one per cent in

either that or rate high enough 10 attract capital
for investment.
