A FAILURE.-The banking house Of T.
Hatton & Co.. of this city, has failed The
liabilities are said to be over fifty thousand
dollars, mostly due to depositors. This
failure falls heavily upon community, as
mechanics, farmers and laboring men are
the principal losers. We know it is hard
for people who have laid by few dollars
in bank for safe keeping, as they supposed,
against time Of need, to be thus swindled
out of their earnings, but they must blame
Messrs. Hatton not to much, as the politi-
clans who have brought this terrible state
OF affairs upon US Messrs. Hatton NAV
not have done exactly right, as far as we
know, but they could not have prevented
the fall of stocks, the depreciation of the
currency, the ralyzatioE of business, the
general waste and ruin that have fallen
upon the country. Many of the losers by
the failure Of Messrs. Hatton's bank, we
believe, for the last seven years have been
voting and laboring politically to bring the
country into its present deplo.able condi-
ton, and, consequently, should not whine
at results they, themselves, helped to pro-
duce.

country

OUTRAGE IN ST. LoUIs.-No palliation
can be offered for the brutal murder of un.
offending citizens in St. Louis by the SOL
diery, on the 18th inst. The soldiers fred
into a crowd without sufficient pretext and
six innocent persons were killed and 9th
ers wounded. This makes the second time
that the troops have fred into promiscous
crowds in St. Louis. Such outrages have
done more for the cause of the rebels in
Missouri than all the proclauations of
Gov. jackson, JEFF. Davis, and Beauregard
put together 1t is time that the Govern
ment should look into the matter and see
to 1T that the guilty on both sides be brought

Hon JOhnA. Lngan.

The Illinois State Register publishes a
letter from Hon. John A Logan, member
| of Congress for the ninth district, in this
State, 10 reply to the charges of want Of
legality to the Government, which have
been made against him BY the Republic
can newspapers. The letter is complete
vndication and breathes the true senti-
ments. Mr.. Logan hurls back the charge
into the teeth of his malgners, and defies
them to produce one line or sentence from
any of his numerous speeches that can be
possibly construed into the advocacy of
secession doctrines, and removes the charge
of disloyality that has rested over the
glorious old ninth.
1t is ridiculous for such men as Love
JOY. and Banks, and Codding, and Farms
worth, and WasLburn, and Deacon Bross,
who did not hesitate a short time ago to
denounce the constitution as a League
with hell and a covenant with DEATH" and
who expressed their Willingness to "let tue
Union side, to class such patriots as
John a. Logar as disunionists.
Sudden has been the change that bas
come over the minds of the Republican
leaders. They no longer denounce such
men as John A. Logan as "'Union Savers
but have turned Union savers themselves
All at once they have discovered that the
constitution was right and is rich legacy
of political wisdom, the cause of our pros
perity as people. We do not object to
our Republican friends becoming LOYAL to
the constitution and the Union, but we do
protest against their chasing Democrats
who do not endorse erery act of the Ad-
ministration, as secessionists.
We believe that john A. Logan is tru-
er friend of the Union this day than A bra
ham Lincoln or any of that school Of poll
ticiaDs. 1t is time that these coyardly
inslnuations against him should cease II
the Republicans had only evineed half of
MIR. LogaD's love for the Union, it might
not now have been divided and the nation
the scene of terrible civil war.

The Difference.

We do ngt doubt that there are as MANY
Republicans as Democrats in the service Of
the country at the present time, but there
is slight difference in the positions filled
by them. The Republicans fill all the
high salried civil Offices of the Government
and the principal portion of the paying
military Offices, while the Democra is are
found with muskets or their shoulders and
ready to fight in the ranks as private sol
diers at the tune of eleven dallors a month
and found.

LIEUT.. CRANDALL The resignation of
Lieut.. W. W. Crandall of the Leutenancy
of the Kankakee company, having been
the subject Of remark, it is due from us to
state that no possible implication rests upon
his honor, bravery or duty as an officer in
consequence, but that his resignation was
owing to a difficulty which occurred in
camp while he was officer of the Guard =
There was q row in the vicinity of the
Guard House and Lieut. Crandall was or
dered to dispense the crowd, which he did
after little skirmish. Having seen ser.
vice under Gen. Scott, and being disiplina-
rian, it was expected, of course, that he
would obey orders. This he did. But
many of the volunteers were so incensed
against him fer his action, that he deemed
it best for the interest of his company to
resign his commission.
