MIR. LEQUINIo KERBLAY,

It will be recoccted that some month or two ago,
asked for information respecting "one Lequinio7
$50 the namo was given to us)-and suggested hint
two to his character and probable fate. It af-
fords us pleasure now to do justice to the dead by
correcting the wrong impression our first paragraph
was calculated to make, and possibly may have made
on the minds of many readers. We are enabled to
dothis through information afforded US by an intel
ligent and reliable gentleman of Augusta, Georgia.
Mr.. Lcquinio Kerblay (so wo now read tho namo)
was, it is not denied, actor Of some sort in tho
French Reign @ Terror. It is not however to bo as
sumed TINT he very inferior actor in that droad-
full drama. Such Mt least wore his qualifications that
he was afterwards appointed, by Napoleon, French
consul at Newport R. L. which post he seems to have
occupied for time. He subsequently, removed to
Edgcfeld' District, and settled plantation upon
Horns Creek and farm also in the vicinity of the
present site of Hamburg. He owned slaves and is
said to have treated them with marked humanity,
which would seem to contradict tho ferocty of dispo.
sition imputed to him in connection with bis former
experience. He was regarded by those who knew
him, rs an accomplished gentleman. ellis published

surmise of his having boon man Of low unworthy
propensities.
Ho died in Hamburg, in the year 1915. His wife

but she was universally esteemed an excellent wo-

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT ACrIDENr.-The Mem.
phis -4ralanche, of Tuesday last brings US the
details of the most terrible accident that has
lately occurred in the Western waters. We ex.
tract from the avalanche such items as we think
most interesting:
The steamer Pennsylvania, Captain John
Keinfeltcr, of the St. Louis and New Orleans
line, exploded boiler while under way, at Ship
Island, about seventy miles below this city, at
six o'clock yesterday morning: The boat i'm.
mcdiatcly took fire, and burned to the waters
edge As a result Of the explosion and subse.
quent conAagration, we have loss of life alto.
gether unprecedented in the history of fatalities
on the Mississippi and her tributaries
From the best information we can obtain
among the conflicting accounts, there were
three hundred and fifty persons on the Penn.
sylvania, one hundred Of whom arc killed or
missing. The majority of those who are saved
are indebted mainly to the officers of the Kate
Frisbec, and the passengers on that boat for
their lives, as the Frisbce came up soon after
the accident, and remained in the vicinity. un.
til she had picked up every unfortunate sufferer
that could be found.

The OVERFLOW At CAIRo.-Our attentive
friend, Eugene Latapie, clerk of the steamer
Woodford, which passed down yesterday from
Louisville, has furnished US the following pain
fully interesting memoranda Of news in regard
to the upper rivers:
At Cairo, the levee broke on Saturday even
ing, at four o'clock. The scene of the break is
about three hundred yards west Of the juno
ton of the levees. 1t was supposed the levce
had been cut, but the supposition, as ascertain
ed subsequently, is improbable. By nine o'clock
on Saturday night, the town was twelve feet
under water, and the inhabitants commenced
moving out. On Sunday evening the left wing
of the new hotel, building not yet finished,)
fell down. Most Of the women have left town
those who remain are collected on tho levee
and the wharf-boats. Both warf-boats are filled
with baggage, furniture, and people. There
was feet on the floor Of the Taylor House
parlor. The water was higher inside than out
side of the levee, and is still rising. Ameeting~
of the citizens had been held, and on Monday
evening Vigilance Committee was appointed,
to protect the lives and property of those left.

THE RlvER.-The Mississippi is about two
inches higher at this point than it has been at
any time during the season, and is still rising
in ratio Of two inches in twenty-four hours.
From the best accounts above, there remains 9
heavy rise yet to come down, The water can
not attain much greater height at our levee,
as it will force its way through the country ON
the Arkansas side. The suffering and destruo-
ton which is destined to accrue to the planting
interests from this succession of unparalleled
overaows, are fearful to contemplate, and will
exceed all definite alculation.--Memphis Avs-
lanche, June Is.

acted law in which they offered the banks a
raieasp from forfeiture of their charters in cases
Of suspension, upon condition that they would
accept two provisions aS substitute, The first
was that whenever they refused to pay coin for
thpir nqtos and suspended specie payments, they
should pay two per GENT per annum into the
public treasury upon such nntes as they had in
circulation. The second was that the banks
should publish monthly statements Of their true
condition for public information.
"The first condition was evidently founded
upon the fact that the issue Of currency be-
longed to the State itself; that she delegated
this trust to the banks, and that so long rs the
banks fulfilled their duty in furnishing such q
currency Us met the obligations of the State,
under the Constitution of the United States,
the State was willing that they should take to
themselves the whole profit of such currency.
# the permanent circulation in our State be set
rive at least six per cent. upon all their losns,
it is obvious that the profit Of this circulation
would amount annually to $780, 900; rent one
you'd think quite large enough to ensure in re-
turn, ? convertible currency.
But whaneyer the hGnks should fail to per-
form this duty when they 20 longer gQpld
redeem their notes in coin, there no longer ex-
isted the reason for permitting them to receive
the profit on the circulation; and they were
simply. required, after retaining one per cent.
fer contingencies, to place in the public Treasu-
ry tile remaining five per cent which they had
collected from the citizens. At any moment
they could terminate this payment by returning
to their duty. The Act simply applied the best
of all correctiyes. 1t took away the motive TO
continue the wrong. Moreover, with an eye to
perfect justice, it tlnk away from tue bank none
of its legitimate profits. It touched none of its
income received from its capital or its deposits.
It singled out only the currency-oply that
which the bank circulated by privilege from. the
Sovereign. 1t said to tue bank, the State per-
mits you to Issue your notes without paying inr
terest, because, you undertake to keep coin
enough to redeem them. You have failed to
keep that coin, and now your notes must nav
interest like all other notes. But inasmucL az
the necessity of the case prevents any one indi-
vidual from retaining them to claim the inter-
est, the whole public, which pays that interest,
claims it from you through the State Govern
ment.
$50 far, therefore, from tho Act of 1910 be-
ing considered measure Of punishment, it is
really one Of relief Instead of holding the
banks liable to forfeiture of their charters for

other States Of this Union, the proper and ap-
propriate relief is given. They are allowed to

lief.
"If we extend oIp horizon to embrace our

it is obvious thst any reasonable abatement
from them will still leave sum the magnitude
of which will prove that these bank Suspensions

The fluctuations Of currency produced by the
banks in their expansions and contractons are
