Failure OF Certain NationaI Ranks.

The failure OF the Merchants National
Bank OF Washington, under the very eye of
the Treasury Department, has made money
lenders more cautious and given a shock to
confidence which twill take some time 10
restore. The extended loans and deposits,
upon which National Banks are making
such large profits, are based upon transac-
TONS and with dealers such as caused the
suspension OF Culver, Penn & Co., and this
Washington Bank, and are deceptive and
dangerous. II the loss made by the Govern
meht through this rotton bank causes the
Secretary 70 look sharp after all his deposit
banks the warning may be cheap at 500 600.
It Is stated that resolution Will be promptly
offered looking to the transfer OF the deposits
of the Government 70 the Sub-TreasuFieS.
AT this moment, the deposits Of the Treasury
form the basis OF much speculation, and de-
fer the return 10 specie payments. 1t viii
not harm the public credit to make general
call upon deposit banks and a large payment
on the temporary loans.

NEW YORK, May S.-The Tribune's
Washington special says:
The doors of the Merchants National
Bank remain open and the officers re-
main there making promises of future
redemption, but with no prospect OF be-
ing able to fulfill them. It appears
that there was on deposit from the In
terror Department on account of Indian
funds, $50, O37; Postoffice Department,
dead letter fund, waste paper fund and
disbursing clerk, $4,000; Treasury De-
partment, $4,000, and other paymasters
1851, 900. Gen. Spinner holds above the
amount necessary for the redemption of
the notes of the bank about $4,000,
leaving loss for the Government of
$4,000 without having recourse to
stockholders or counting upon the
probable non-return of large portion
OF the notes of the bank, or the bank
recovering or having anything from
the general asset of the concern. The
official inquiry now going on will soon
demonstrate the amount of the pri-
yate deposits, their liabilities and as
sets. Information from Baltimore in
dicates that nothing of any account
will be received from Bayne or Bayne
& Co.. of Baltimore. The failure of the
a general feeling of dissatisfaction
among depositers In other institutions,
and to-day quite run was made upon
some others, and a large amount of
deposits have been removed to Jay
Cookies, the First National, and to the
%. s. Treasury. There are no other
suspensions, however, and il is an
nonnced by Maury q Co., that they
will resume tomorrow. On May LIST
there was in the various Repositories
S24, 223 $50 as, for which there are Gov
eminent securities held by Gen. Spin
ner amounting to $50, ~, 500.

the fourth of July, 1870, all persons who
voluntarily adhered to the late insur-
rection, giving 1t aid or comfort, shall
be excluded from the right to vote for
representation in Congress and for the
election of President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. It appeared
to him that that was a violation Of good
faith in reference to that large class of
people in the South who come within
the terms of the amnesty proclamation
of President johnson and who were
thereby restored to all their civil rights.
He asked Mr.. Stevens for an expIana-
ton on that point.
Mr.. Stevens admitted that the pardon
extinguished the crime. After pardon
there was no such crime in the tndiv1d-
ual. Those who were fully pardoned
did not come within the operation of
the third section.
Mr.. Blaine understood the gentleman
from Pennsylvania to say that those
who came within the terms of the pro-
clamation and amnesty, would not be
considered as having voluntarily adj
hered to the late insurrection.
Mr.. Stevens assimilated their condt-
ton to that of person convicted of fell
ony, and thereby rendered incompetent
to testify, but who, if pardoned, and If
his testimony We're challenged, could
produce his pardon, thereby showing
his competency.
Mr.. Blaine suggested that If that was
the proper construction to be given the
section, it should be so amended as that
there could be no question about it, and
he should at the proper time move an
amendment to that effect. l5.
The point made by Mr.. Blaine and
virtually admitted by Mr.. Stevens,
seemed to create "A considerable stir in
the Republican ranks. Members drew
near and listened TO the colloquy with
great interest, as if recognizing the
possibly fatal character of the objec-
ton.

In the Madras Presidency things are
not so bad, but the distress is only less
terrible than that in Bengal. 1t is, how
ever, not yet SO widespread or SO bitterly
severe. The pressure is apparently great
est in that part of the country which in
cludes the Southern Talooks of North
Arcot, the North Western TaIooks Of
South Arcot, the Western Talooks of
Salem, and in the Southern and Eastern
Talooks Of Coimbatore. It is also very
severely felt in Bellary.
The acting snb-collector of C~oimhatore,
adverting to the straits to which the
poorer classes in the Upland Talooks of
his division are nov reduced, has urged
the necessity of immediate relief. He
writes that it is impossible not to "be
struck with the poverty-stricken appear
aHce of the lower classes, with hardly a
rag 10 cover their nakedness, and hardly
any flesh to cover their bones ;" that
'the cattle were even worse off, they
were mere moving skeletons; that he
had seen wretched beings, with hardly a
rag on them, eating the fruit of the prick
ly pear and berries from %trees;'' and that
''eyery night hundreds of poor wretches
skulk about the streets of Caroor, picking
up what wretched garbage they can col
lect that the coolies are so weak that,
when they first come to the Public Works
Department for work, they have to be
fed before they can be worked at ALL"
1t is TO be feared that a very similar
state of things exists in the other districts
already referred to and as regards the
cattle, the collector of Salem reports that
thousands have died for want Of pasture
and water. In one village alone upwards
of 1000 head of cattle persisted from this
cause.

banyan tree is said TO be on the banks of
the Nerbuddah River. Forbes, in his
"Orieutal Memoirs" says the circumfer-
encc of the tree at the time of writing
the accoun was, nearly 1900 feet, and
the overhanging branches which had not
thrown down their props or supports
stretched over a much larger area. The
tree had as many as $50 main trunks, and
over 5000 smaller ones, and was capable
of giving shelter to 1000 men. These
dimensions appear almost fabulous;
there is, however, another fine tree at
Mhow, which has 69 stout stems, and
can give shade, even under a vertical sun,
10 an immense number of men ; indeed,
we are constantly told that a regiment
Of cavalry con conveniently take refuge
beneath one. For large assemblies or
meetings they form perfect natural tents.

be closed, and at Lyons a notice was
posted stating that the train from Mar

time in consequence of the immense
number of passengers.
