Suspension Of a Well. known Banking
Firm.

The firm of Culver, Penn & Co., of 10 and
q Nassau street, suspended yesterday alter
noon. C. Y. Culver, the senior member Of
the 0rm, is the Representative IN Congress for
the Xxx. or Petroleum District Of Pennsylv2-
nia. Several months ago Mr., Culver conduct
ed an excursion Of capitalists through the oil
regions, and at Reno announced his intention
to build railroad from Reno to Pltho1e City,
and Of having 1t in operation by the first Of
the year bat instead Of thus earjy commenc-
ing 10 realize upon Ills road, It is yet unflu-
ished, and has absorbed and locked up his
capital to such an extent as to precipitate the
calamity that has fallen upon the firm OF
which he Is the head.
Mr. CULVER 10 largely connected with many
banks In the oil regions, but whether they
will be compelled to suspend or not Is at
present unknown.
The resources o4 the house are said to be
considerable, the railroad itself Is By compe-
tent judges regarded as fully worth all the
capital invested in It, and It Is hoped tina, Mr.,
Culver will extricato himself from his embar-
easements without causing any other loss to
his creditors than that caused By delay.

A CHINESE TRICK.-A short
time ago, a quantity of stolen rice
was discovered under a bridge near
Hornitos, California. Calculating
that the parties who stole it would
60 after it at night, and would be
easily caught, some of the sharp
ones stationed themselves around
and watched for developments.
After they had taken their position,
a Chinaman came accommodating
about, evidently looking out for
some outside interference" AS
he went near the place where the
rice was deposited, the men on du-
ty rushed at him; but he proved
to be only a deeoy, ran like a wild
cat, and all ran after him. He
easily outran the party, and, whilst
they were after him, his confeder-
ate went after and safely carried
off the rice. The individuals who
thought they were too smart for
Cinnamon, readily conceded that
they were out-manoeuvred,

THE CASE WELL SrATED.-The
Knoxville Commercial, whose editor
was never in sympathy with the
South in the war, but who, in har-
mony with the true people OF
East Tennessee, is unwilling to
follow the destructive policy of
the Radicals, contains the follow
ing pungent paragraph. We like
to quote from such authority on
such d subject:
"Every man that viii not en-
dorse the Radicals and swallow
the negro, head, body and heels,
and swear it was a sweet morsel
to take, is now called a rebel.
Now what do these Radicals want?
They want you should say that
you believe the negro is just as
good as a white man. They
want you should believe that the
negro ought to vote, to Sit on juries
and fill the judges bench, and, if
he can get the votes, they want he
should be elected as President of
the United States" teG

The Fenians.

We have heretofore said but lit;
tie about this organization, and re-
ported but little of their doings.
The Fenian movement in this
country is one of the grandest
and most stupendous farces ever
played in this country, and when
the collapse comes it will show
the poor, deluded contributors of
funds what a magnificent swindle
has been played off on them, and
how princely some. persons have
lived for q short time, by their
wits. Men of sense! do look at
the movement! Where are their
armies? Where their navy?
where are their financial treasures?
Every effort is being made by the
head centres to get all the funds
they can before the final scene of
the great humbug shall be played
out.

The oldest stove, probably in the
United States, is one which warns
the hall of Virginia's capitol in
Richmond. 1t was made in Eng
land, and sent to Virginia in 1770,
and warmed the House of Bur-
gesses for sixty years before it was
removed to its present location
where it has been for thirty years.
1t has survived three British mon
archs; has been contemporaneous
with four kingly monarchies, two
republics and two imperial govern
ments of France. The great Re-
public of America has been torn
by internecine strife, the breaches
partly healed, and still the old
stove remains .unmoved in the
midst of all.

The st. Louis Democrat is be-

We are truly sorry that our repu-

many who are willing to continue
doing us harm, when there is 80
little cause for it. But it would
be much better if the editor of the

A correspondent of the Hart
ford Times says he was surprised
to meet in Hartford the other day
a soldier whom he had helped to
bury and read the burial service
over in Virginia, in the fall of
1868. This fellow was in trance
when he was buried, partly dug
himself out of his very shallow
grave, was discovered by the reb-
els, helped out and sent to Rich
mond as prisoner for a year, and
then to Georgia until the war end

ture of forty-eight thousand pairs
of shoes per annum. This alone
will keep within the State a very
large sum that is now paid direct
to Massachusetts,"
