CAPT. KLINBFELTER. We have had occasion to refer to this individ- ual on several occasions, and to utter opinions rather unfavorablo to his character. It will be rocollected that he recovered the safe of the steamer Pennsylvania and took 1t up the river with him. About the same time a statement appeared in the up-river papers to the effect that all the paper money in the safe at the time of the disaster was burnt. Who the author of this report was we do not know, but the probabilities are that it was Kline felter himself; and taking 1t for granted that he did circulate the re- port we shall beg leave to doubt its correctness, unless 1t is su5stantiated by those who have @ better character for truth than he has. It struck us very forcibly at the time that if Capt. Klinefelter had any regard for his rep utation, he would have caused the safe to be opened and examined here before witnesses. Instead of this, however, his only anxiety appeared to be to get away from this region of country as soon as possible. Itis well know here that, notwithstanding he passed Memphis several times within a few weeks after the occurrence of the accident, he never stopped to see the sufferers, nor, as far as we could learn, did he even inquire after their welfare. During all this time, too, the papers above contained articles which stated that Capt K. said so and so, in regard to the sufferers here, all of which were g1aring falsehoods.- We have lately received undoubted in- telhgence that gentlemen named Vasser, who was among the killed on the iIl-fated steamer, when he left New Orleans, put in charge of the clerk something over $10,000, This he told his wife, who knows that he had that amount. Now, the question is, was this $10, ,000 burnt up? and are

We make no apology for alluding to this institution So often in these columns. It is 9 subject that can never become stale or uninteresting so long as nearly every man in the community is interested in knowing its situation. Numerous inquiries have recently been made of us concerning tie ultimate solvcncy of this establish ment. We have in our possession large sums of the Citizens Bank bills, forw: rded to us by our friends in Missjssippiand Alabama with a request that We would dispose of them, or give some information concerning their value We regret that we can not enlightcn our friends. It is true these bills are selling for 40 or 50 cents on the streets, but we feel that we would be doing injustice to our friends, who have conhded in our judgment, were we to submit to such a sacrifice, especially since we confidently believe that MesSrs. Turner and Walker will make good their promises. But it is certainly high time that the sealed book should be opened. and something definite ascertained. Our heart bieeds with pity when we see the honest la- borer in the hands of brokers, submit ting to a discount so runiuous. 1t is charged that there are persons, agents q the bank, in this city and elsewhere buying up the bills. We cannot be- lieye this rumor, for we have heretofore expressed the opinion that the man. agers would make good their promises. But something should certainly be done, so as to prevent the mechanic and the laborer from being feeced by the vultures of society; who, so they pocket their penny, care not for the hunger of furnishing children. After the bills have passed into the hands of the brokers, it will be too late to prevent the great injury which is now being inflicted upon those who are forced to ell.-Memphis .4colanche oEtHe 24th.

PRoMsCUoUs DANcrNG.-A clergyman of
the old fogy school, says the Harrisburg
IsETdph has written an article III deun,
citation of "promiScuousd dancing" and calls
upon the faithful to hold in "orthodox alb
horrence." The "promiscuous dancing"
which the reverend gentleman so much
dislikes, is the dancing of men and women
together That, being pleasant, is naugh-
~; whereas as the dancing of men with
men, women with women being a very
poor havorless thing, is permitted Now
we agree with our cOtemporary that "pro-
miscuous dancing" is, in ITSELF not only
no sin, but an innocent pleasure and
healthful exercise-one of the natural and
universal expressions of that deligh. in be-
ing alive, which is the blessed boon of
youth and health. That man must have
an essentially low and vulgar mind who
can look upon groop of youths and mai
dens, moving with light hearts and little
feet through the giddy mazes of dance,
and stain the fair vision with thoughts of
sense and sin. This removing of the land
marks of morality-this branding with
moral reprobatiOn acts which in them
selves are not morally wrorg-is never
done without danger to the essential inter
ests of morality itself. The truth is, that
all these attempts, on the part of men
clothed with spiritual power, to suppress
the innocent pleasures of life, are subtle
manifestations of selfshness and love of
power. They are illustrations of the old
fable Of the fox that has lost his tail in a
trap, and endeavored to persuade his
brother foxes to submit to the same mutt
lation. Public opinion exacts from cler-
gymen, and in many denominations from
laymen who have made public profession
Of religion, an abstinence from certain
forms of amusement; and unless their re-
lgion be of the finest temper they will not
look with oomplacency upon others who
are enjoying leasures from which they
are themselves debarrcd,
