The Rnnk Of England

THE SUSPENSION OF THE CHAPTER ACT.
The following is a copy of the letter
addressed last evening by the Governor
and Deputy Governor Of the Bank OF
England TO the government, with a copy
of Earl Russell and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer's letter in reply, authorizing
the Bank of England to extend its issue
o. notes:
BANK OF ENGLAND, May II, 1866.
SR-We consider it TO be our duty TO
lay before the government the facts re-
lating to the extraordinary demands for
assistance which have been made upon
the Bank of England to-day, in conse-
quence of the failure of Messrs. Overend,
Quincy 6 Co.
We have advanced TO the bankers, bill
brokers, and merchants in London during
the day upwards of four millions sterling,
upon the security,,o of government stock
and bills of exchange-an unprecedented
sum TO lend IN one day, and which, there
fore, we suppose, would be sufficient 10
meet all their requirements; although the
proportion of this sum which NAV have
been sent to the country must materially
affect the question.
We commenced this morning with a
reserve Of G5,52I,O5O, which has been
drawn upon so largely that We cannot
calculate upon having so much as S.
600, 600 this evening, making a fair allow
ance for what may be remaining at the
branches.
We have not refused any legitimate
application for assistance, and, unless the
money taken from the bank is entirely
withdrawn from circulation, there is no
reason to suppose that this reserve is in
sufficient. We have the honor TO be, Sir,
your obedient servants,
Il. l.. HOLLAND, Governor.

Neutrality-suspicious. MADNESS
Il do not ever remember to have known
the people of the interior of the state to
be SO thoroughly exercised over politics,
State or national, as now, except once !:
and that was when a few mad cap ma
SONS abducted and stole away William
Morgan from the county jail in Canaan
daigua, in the year 1926. Masonry and
anti-masonryimmediately grew into State,
and even into national proportions
and politics. Women took a hand III and
became politically and socially venemous,
strong-minded and dictatorial. Many q
prosecuted mason pretended and even de-
clared to his faithful cara sposu that il
be rel belonged to the masonic frater-
nifty, he had lived to see the folly and
abomination of his evil ways, and had
forever abjured the horrible order. So
fearful we're some wives of husbands
that happened to belong to the secret Or
der that kidnapped men at midnight, and
murdered them at their leisure, they even
kept candles burning through the night
at their bedside, lest the fendish masonic
husbands might kill them too. The Nor.
gan anti.masonic delusion ran 80 high
that n great many well-meaning men and
women, outside of masonry, considered
it almost dangerous to be safe. It grew
into a political panic !; accumulation OF
fanaticism and frenzy, that pervaded all
western New York and made it the in
fected district" 1t was worse, while it
lasted, than trichinea, cholera, diptheria,
or any physical pestilence or contagion ;
for 10 physician could remedy this incur
able mental disorder. 1t broke up famil-
les. Father refused to recognize son ; the
mother discarded the daughter if she
presumed to live with a masonic husband
sisters would often not speak when they
met. For many years it seemed as if the
millennium was past, and Satan was really
and truly turned loose to complete his
cycle of disorder, limited to, l think, a
thousand years. When the delusion at
length vanished, people wondered what
demon had taken possession of their bet
ter natures and their wits to convert
them into anti Christians and demi-sava-
ges. Besides the anti-masonic, Morgan
'nfatuation, Ambient, Mormonism, ard
all isms, except ~disunionism, paled their
Intellectual ires.--Cor ". Y. Express.

70 he was in the enjoyment Of excellent
health, and never looked better. He was
living in modest style, and giving his
personal attention to the education of his
children. He has since sailed to Europe,
and in all probability will settle for the
present in the South of France or in
some locality having a similar climate.
He designs placing his two young chill
dren at school in Switzerland.
The reports which have been circulated,
OF large contributions of money made by
his friends in the United States, are wholly
untrue or greatly exaggerated, for we

was a few thousand dollars, saved from
his salary as a Confederate general, and

How to Hold the Plow.-Don't try to
hold it out at arms length. You IAN,
do it.
If you hav'nt a pillow of your own, get
out an attachment on your neighbours
who owes you. Any Justice will tell you
whether you can hold it or not.
The Best Time to Putin Rye.--I asked
an old farmer once what Was the best
time to put in rye He looked ut bis

This is about my hour"
The rye was Immediately put 10.
All are the same for putting

How to keep Corn.-Tbe best place to
keep corn is in q good corn house, though
some prefer keeping it in the system-in
the juice. If they don't keep corr they
keep corned.
Fences and Fencing.-Good fencing is
essential on a farm. Get a good "fanc-

pair a worm fence by taking vermifuge.
Neither can you cut good whitewasb

Set fire to them.
To Drain Lamds.-Drink whisky, and
spend all your time at the village tavern.
This will drain you of all your lands in a
short time.
To Make Stone Fence.-Equal parts of
whisky and cider. This is the reciprocal
stone fence ; the more you lay Of it the
more it will clay" you.
Easy Way to drav Saw Logs.-Draw
them on piece of paper with a crayon
pencil. After q little practice you will
be able to "draw" the largest kind of
saw logs with ease.

packing pork. In curing ham the time
varies. Ham that have got trichina can't

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. 3.-Tbe parole
granted Jefferson Davis some months
ago giving him the privilege of the
grounds of tie Fortress during the day,
has been extended, through the executive
%clemency, in removing all surveillance
over him and the guard from his room in
Carroll Hall at night. Instructions to
that effect has qeen sent from Washibg-

fort, divesting his imprisonment Of sny-
thing like severity, and paving the way
it is generally presumed, for his final
parole and release. All the guards over
him during the day and night have been
removed. He now enjoys perfectly IN
trameled liberty, and every possible
means of comfort and pleasure, while

| am not prepared to receive the negro
IN terms of political equality, for the
reason it will raise passions and pfejudi-
ces at the North, snperadded to the
causes yet dormant at the South, that
mignt rekindle the war whose fires are
now dying out, and which, by skillful
management might be kept down. As
you must observe, | propose to work
with known facts rather than to reason
ahead to remote conclusions.
We can control the local State capitals,
and, it may be, shape political thoughts,
but we cannot combat existing ideas with
force. | say, honestly, that the assertion
openly Of your ideas Of universal negro
suffrage, as a fixed policy of our general
Government, to te backed by physical
power, will produce a new war, sooner or
later, and which, fir ON its desultory char
actor, will be more bloody and destructive
than the last. | think the changes neces-
cessary in the future can be faster and
certainly made by means of our Coustitu-
ton, than any plan outside of it. If now
we go outside Of the Constitution for a
change, we rather justify the rebels in
their late attempt, whereas, now as Scho-
field tells US, the people of the South are
ready and waiting to make the necessary
changes without shock or violence. |
feel the past wal as bitterly and keenly
as any man could and | frankly confess
myself afraid Of a new war and a new
war is bound to result from the action
you suggest of giving to the enfranchised
negroes so large a share in the delicate
task of putting the Southern States in
practical working relations with the gen.
eral Government.
