Not one man III ten thousand sees those
with whom he associates as they really are.
If the prayer of Burns were granted, and we
could all see ourselves as others see us, our
selfestimates would in all probability be much
more erroneous than they are now. The truth
is, that we regard each other through vare-
ty of lenses, no one of which is correct. Pas
sion and prejudice, love and hate, bcnevo-
lence and envy, spectacle our eyes, and utter.
y prevent us from observing accurately.
Many whom we deem the porcelain of human
clay are mere dirt and a still greater number
of those we put down in our .'black books
are no further off from heaven, and per-
chance a little nearer, than the censors who
condemn them. We habtually undervalue
or overvalue each other, and in estimating
character the shrewdest of us only now and
then make true appraisal of the virtues and
defects of even our closest intimates. 1t is
not Just or fair to look at character from q

There is this comfort, however for those
whose mlsJudgments of their fellow mortals
lean to the kindly side-such mistakes go to
their credit in the great account. He who
thinks better of his neighbors than they de-
serve cannot be bad man, for the standard
by which his Judgment is guided is the good

Upon general questions the whole audience

fact of the existence of a secret league, of the
extent of which the public has had no pre-

can be formed by our readers.
After the proceedings at the grove, the
crowd reformed in procession, and passed
through the city again to the old fair grounds

Throughout the entire proceedings no inter

Finance and Trade.

THE NATIONAL BASKs.-Many enquiries hAv
ing been made as to the consequences of failure
of any one man of the National Banks, author
lied BY the Government, and their being some
uneasness felt at the report of the failure of four
of them in the North, We copy the following from
tho commercial" of the New Orleans Crescent,
which explains the whole question
The failure of four National Banks at the North
to redeem their circulation in L. S. treasury notes
has created petty panic among some holders Of
this currency. Yesterday, we are informed, at
least of tho city markets it was refused by the
butchers. Under these circumstances, and in or
der to prevent ill-nformed holders from selling
at discount, the First National Bank promptly
gave notice, through the press, that it was ready
to redeem ALL National Bank issues at its coun-
ter, at par in U. S. treasury notes. In the mean
time, some money dealers were exchanging city
treasury notes for them at par, and all the banks
and dealers were receiving them on deposit. and
in some cases. exchanging Legal tender notes for
them, to accommodate timid holders.
1t is evident that the public do not appreciate
the fulness in the provisions Of the National
Banking Law to save the holders of the bank cir
culation from loss. In the first instance the bank
is compelled to deposit with the comptroller of
Of at least one third of its capital. The comptroller
then issues to the banks, in circulating notes,
ninety per cent. of the market value of the Sc
curities depOsited-but in no case more than par
reserving the ten per cent as a margin for the
protection, not of the holders of the notes. but of
the Government, which, IN any oreni, is bound TO
pay the full face of the notes in lawful money Of
the United States; that is if the securities depos-
tied were suddenly TO become valueless, the Gov
eminent would be the loser, not the note holder.
Tho proceedings in the case Of bank failure
are prompt and simple. The holder of the banks
bills presents them at the counter for redemption
in lawful money. 1t is refused. The holder then
protests them formally, and the notary sends the
protest to the Controller of the Currency. The
Controller makes further investigation into the
facts, and on being sa SIZED the failure. is
bound. within thirty days thereafter, TO declare
the deposited securities forfeited to the Govern
ment. Thereupon tho Secretary Of the Treasury
Is required to direct the holders Of the notes Of
the broken bank to present thcm at the United
States Treasury at Washington, for payment.
when they will be paid in lavfdl money of the
United States. There are other provisions in the
law to guard the Government against essential
loss. but, standing in the position Of endorser Of
the notes. the Government is bound to pay them
in lawful money. whatever may be the result to
itself
