What Banks OF Issue Have Done
for st. Louis, i

The st. Louis Democrat, in commenting
on an article in the Republican of that city
in relation to the banking system of Mis-
souri,, remarks
The above is very candid admission
that, before the banks of issue went into
operation in this State, general prosperity
was the rule but since that time healthy
prosperity has been unknown. And this
for the reason stated. Men invested their
spare means in bank stock. A spirit of
wild speculation seized the minds of the
people. Manufacturing enterprises beyond
the wants of the country were started on
borrowed capital. Real estate went up
skyward, and rents advanced in proportion,
until, under the influence of banking, every0
thing became inflated and assumed an air
of fiction. The old and solid prosperity
that st. Louis had enjoyed under the hard.
money system had made her as a pillar of
adamant against the financial storm that
swept the credit and commerce of other
places into the gulf of bankruptcy, and
she stood out, prominent and alone, with a
credit and name to be envied by all.
But the evil day came with the chartering
of the banks of issue, and from that dates
our decline.

Who Owned the Catalina.

There was much dispute at one time,
shortly after the burning of the steamer
Cataline, as to who owned the vessel. If I
am not much mistaken, the records of the
Congressional Committee have made that
matter clear. The owner of the Catalina
was Hon. o. B Matteson, of Utica, who
purchased her for eight thousand dollars.
Shortly afterwards be sold her to compa.
ny of four persons, viz: Thurlow Weed,
John E. Develin, o. B. Matteson and Gil,
bert G. Davidson. These gentlemen paid
Mr.. Matteson eighteen thousand dollars for
the boat, the sum of the purchase money
being divided into four notes, each for four
thousand five hundred dollars. Each of the
gentleman named becoming the endorser of
three notes and the maker of one. Shortly
after this purchase was made, the boat was
chartered to the Government. By this
speculation Matteson appears to have made
five thousand five hundred dollars clear,
besides retaining one fourth interest in the
lucrative charter which he and bis confreres
were enabled to obtain.-N. Y. Times.

be somewhat surprised to learn that the
guards placed over the big guns at the
different Notifications erected for the defence
Of the city, have been fred at several times
during the past week, and once on this side
of the river! The detachment in charge of
the batteries on Prices Hill were somewhat
surprised Friday night, to hear simultane-
ously the report Of musket and the whiz-
zing Of ball close to their ears. There
can be no mistake about this, for the ball
struck near them, and was afterward picked
up, partially fattened. We have seen it
ourselves, and an ugly looking ventilator
for the human body it is-an ounce ball,
one that would settle any mans account, if
it were to hit him after being propelled by
an ounce of powder, in the shortest possible
