TNHE attention of shippers of Merchan-

below. 1t is believed to be, and is intend
ed to be, at least ns low as that of any route
to tho sea. And so far as it is in the power
OF the South Carolina Railroad TO accom-
plish it, the old patrons Of the Charleston
route are assured Of rates always as favor
able as may be offered elsewhere.
An extraordinary impression is under
stood to have existed, and to some extent
may vet exist, that an unwilingness to
unite in the formation OF low Through
Freight Tariff to points Of completion on
the Charlotte Railroad has been exhibited
by the South Carolina Railroad Company:
III fact, that propositions to that end had
been made and refused by it. 1t is proper
here to state, distinctly and cmphatically,
that such impressions arc utterly without
foundation. Tho policy of the Company
Is now, rs it always has been, never to
allow lower rate at I competing point;
and its practice is, as it has always been,
to allow tho road nearest the competing
point to make the rate necessary to give
it's patrons all the advantages promised
elsewhere. In conformity with this prac-
ticc, the Charlotte and South Carolina
Railroad has been, and now is, fully autho-
rizcd to establish any rate to the sea at
Charleston it secs fit, and the South Caro-
lima Railroad will accept its proposition of
such rates.

NEW EsTABIIsHMENT-JAY COOKE co., BANKERS.
Trading in money and other representatives
of value has been carried on from the very earli-
est ages. The Old Testament mentions several
instances of the exchange and barter of gold and
silver. Before the birth of Christ this branch of
trade was well defined us a profession, for we are
informed that he drove out the money-changers,
who were desecrating the temple.
II would seem that at one time the largest por
ton OF that class who bought and sold gold or
its equivalents were of Israelitish origin and no
small proportion OF the bankers of the present
age are of similar extraction. Shakespeare
has drawn portrait of one of the most odious
OF the class in the immortal "Shylock.n We are
gratfed to say that he is not q fair specimen
OF the profession as it ct present exists, for no
class Of men are more liberal and generous than
the bankers and brokers OF the present day.
1t is only within che past two centuries that
the controllers of monetary affairs have become
such power in the earth. As capital and coin
grew more plentiful the transactions became
larger. The wealth OF the world gradually accu.
mUlated in the hands Of II few, who doled it out
to the needy at such rates OF usury as their con-
sciences would permit. But in this age the
bankers WELD a power scarcely inferior to that
o: the sword. They have their dealings with
Kings and Cabinets, Prime Ministers and Secre
taries. Nobility-even royalty-must occasion
| ally sue to these lords of the money world for
the means of carrying out their gigantic plans
! and projects. If they draw the purse strings
| tightly, wars must cease and gigantic enter
| prizes be abandoned. With their consent navies
| can be reared-fortresses built-the iron path
way of the locomotive laid down-the great
mountain tunnelled. But if they refuse to FUR
nish the needed capital, it is in vain to attempt
any great work.
Within the past two centuries the most lnti-
mate relations have sprung up between the
banking interest and the various governments
of the world. The house of Rothschids is al
most as influential in Europe as the English
| House of Lords. The Barings could produce a
| financial revulsion and commercial distress by a
scratch OF pen. Such houses as these control
the policy of dynasties and administrations
In this country, where wealth is more evenly
divided than in Europe, the money kings WELD
tremendous influence. They practically place
the value upon everything that is bought and
sold. By their operations the value Of stocks or
bonds, or gold, or currency is regulated. The
people abide by their decision, and it is well
that we have keen, far-sighted, cautious men
competent to the discharge of such duties.
During the continuance of the war which has
now happily closed, the American bankers as
sisted the authorities not only with means, but
with sound advice in regard to financial affairs

ence, no wing been fer years at the head OF a
large Market street dry goods house. In
each of these apartments there are tire-prooi
vaults for the storage Of books and papers
and desks for the use of the large number
of clerks constantly employed. In the rear
Of the Government Department is the bust
ness Office of MIR. Cooke, which is fitted up
in elegant style, with every convenience which
the ingenuity of mechanics could devise.
Upon the opposite side, and in the rear OF
the Banking department, Is a room superbly ap-
pointed, intended for the use of those desiring
to hold consultations of a strictly confidential
nature with Mr. Cooke or any members of the
firm. Six massive hon pillars support the
ceiling which is beautifully finished in fresco OF
tasteful design from the pencil OF Mr.. Keyser.
All the various apartments are upholstered in
magnificent style, and the floors are laid with
Brussels carpet, from the establishment OF
James II. Orne, No. 626 Chestnut street. The
chandeliers, brackets aud gas tttmg3 are from
the mandatory of Mskey, Merrill {; Thaclcara,
and are chaste and simple, but nevertheless
very beautiful
Immediately after Passing the broad front
entrance, a portion OF the room has been en-
closed by tasteful iron railing, and is in,euded
for the accommodation of ladies who may have
business with the firm. By this arrangement
ladies viii avoid the inconvenience of beng
joslled by the crowd and save much time add
trouble. The woodwork is painted solid
white, and gives an effect OF hghtness
and good cheer to the room. The mar
ble-work is from the establishment of Will
liam Gray, and the ron-raiings from Wood g.
Perot, Ridge avenue. The basement has been
divided INTO six compartments and will be ap.
propriated to the filing away of the voluminous
correspondence of the firm and such other valu-
able documents as may require preservation.
The heating apparatus, which is perfect, is also
| located in the basement. The whole improve
ment has been made under the immediate super
vision of Mr.. Thomas Henderson, the master
| builder, and the work is every way creditable to
] the skill and taste Of this gentleman.
Altogether, the banking house of Jay Cooke
! d Co. is one of the finest in the country.
1t is sufficiently spacious to meet all the require
ments OF their immense business, and its loca-
ton is, without exception, the best in Phila-
| delphia. 1t is fitted up in style that
does honor not only to its protector, but
| to our city. 1t indicates that Mr.. Cooke
and his partners are fully up to the age, and
alsothat their business must be large to Justify
| so munifcent an expenditure upon their esta-
bishment. We are gratihed to observe these
evidences of the prosperity of the house, which
is now the wealthiest and most influential of any
bankers in our State, and trust it may continue,
as their well-known liberality deserves every
| success.

A RoxnI YIsit to RossIni.

The viscount de Paiva, the Portuguese Minis
ter, paid visit to Rossini, at Paris, accompanied
by countryman, at his town residence, at the
corner OF the Chausee d'Antin, on the second
floor over the Cafe Foy. The maestro sent word
by his valet that, being slightly indisposed, he
regretted that he was unable to receive COM
pany. Viscount Paiva nevertheless insisted
upon an audience, and told the servant to say to
his master that he had news to give him of a
Portuguese friend. Rossini, thus pressed, re-
ceived the visitors with his usual afablity. The
conversation turned upon music, and Rosslni
asked Viscount Paiva's companion whether he
was musician.
The gentleman replied that he sang and PLAYED
several instruments "So,n said Rossini, Slid
the late King of Portugal whom l once had the
honor of seeing. / often drink TO his memory
in a glass of the excellent port wine which he
made me present off, 81 am the present King
of Portugal" said Rossini's visitor. Thereupon
Rossini rose from his chair but the king begged
him to waive ceremony, and sitting down to the
piano he played by neart the trio in William
Tell, and series of pieces of Verdi, Donlzetti,
and Flotow making Bremarks between each on
the comparative merits of ancient and modern
music. On leaving, his Majesty begged Rossint
to accept the ribbon of the new Portuguese
Order of Merit.

The readiness with which they took hold of the
Government securities gave the people conf
dence in them, and induced many of small
means to invest their earnings in the various
Government loans. Foremost in this patriotic
work stood Mr. Jay Cooke, ofPhiladelphia. From
the very breaking out of the war to the present
time, he has never ceased in his efforts to sus'
tain the credit OF the country, and to keep our
financial affairs in the best possible condition.
In the stormest hours OF the struggle, when
many doubted our ability to crush the Rebel ion,
Mr.. Cooke was peCseveringly endeavoring to
avoid financial panic and bring the fiscal affairs
of the nation to a proper state of certainty.
With what success he laborcd we all know.
Owing to the skill which he eynced, ne was
chosen by our martyred President as one of his
most trusted confidential advisers, and was the
recipient of condolences that showed how much
his abilities were appreciated by that great and
good man.
Naturally the great public efforts Of Mr.. Cooke
built up magnificent private business and the
result was that his quarters, ample as they were
soon proved to be entirely too inconVenient for
the transaction of his rapidly growing business.
Ever up 70 the requirements of his time, ho i'm
| mediately determined TO make such arrange
all. who desired to transact business with
| the firm. In the carrying olt of this pur-
pose he secured the whole CT the 10 yer
portion of the large brown stone building
| immediately adjoining the Girard Bank on the
north side and commenced a complete and
| thorough reconstruction of it, so as TO perfectly
| adapt it 10 the purposes of a clearinghouse. As
| originally constructed the building was divided
| through the centre by q long passage way, from
which sprung an iron stairway to the upper por-
tions of the building This structure has
been entirely removed, and the whole of
| the lower floor has been thrown into a spa
| cious apartment, beautifully and tastefully
| fitted up. The counters and other furniture are
of solid oiled walnut Of massive design The floors
| are laid with blocks Of pure white marble. In
| the rear centre is located an enormous fire and
| burglar-proof SAFE manufactured expressly for
the firm by Evans & Watson, OF this city. pc
culiarity about this is, that inside of the large
| safe is smaller one, also thief and burglar
proof, in which the documents and books of the
firm are to be kept The business OF the house
| will be transacted at two different counters.
| The counter upon the south side is devoted to
business Of Government bonds and other
| securities, and will be under the imme
date charge of Mr.. George G. Thomas, who has
been the cashier of this department and is now
admitted as a member of the firm. The oppo
site counter upon the north side is for the pri
yate banking business of the house. and is in
charge of Mr.. John w. Sexton, another mem

Ouai de Billy, Paris, were totally destroyed by
tire on Saturday, December l6. The fire. was
discovered at one O'Clock by watchman OF the
establishment. and, an alarm being given, as.
sislance arrived from all parts. The Minister of
the puerior, Marshal Canrobert, Commander-in-
Chief of the Army of Paris; the Prefect of Po-
lice, General Lebrun; and the head ofthe Mu-
ncipal Police, were among the first on the
ground. The troops quartered at the Ecoe
Militaire, all the police constables on duty

thousand men employed in the establishment,
assisted in working the fire engines; put in spite
OF their exertlons, all the workshops with their
contents were destroyed, aud nothing remained
but the offices of the director and the clerks.
There was one large building belonging to the
firm, containing valuable collection of models,
valued at $4,000. The total loss is estimated
at a million dollars, which is fully insured in
twelve offices. The fire was partially got under
at five in the morning, but the road along the
quay was not passabie all day. NJ. Gail declared
after the fire that if it became necessary to spend
the last penny of his fortune, his men should not
be deprived of employment. Temporary sheds
are to be Immediately erected in order that the
works may be resumed and the insurance offices
have offered to advance f40,000 to assist him.
