The English Financial Crisis.

The news published yesterday, Of q
financial crash in London comes unex.
pectedly. The failure Of the house Of
Peto and Belts for some $50. 900. 900
will no doubt surprise the reader. The
chief Of the house is Sir Morton Peto.
who headed the delegation Of English men
last year, to examine our railroad system
and the country generally. 1t was sup-
posed at these men came hither to 10

and all that sort Of thing. Recently, also,
he contributed handsomely to a fund
which was raised in England for the ben

are people there who may think their
mission is to turn back this tide OF
infdelity and cruelty. We know
that there are many men Of this kind
there Christian men and bold men
and, therefore, down here we ought
to give them what poor encourage
ment we can.
The representatives of the baser
element in Congress from Missouri
are very bad men rude and litter
ate, and with no skill, except that
which finds its profits IN deception.
We do not believe that the bills
which we are abiding to will pass
Congress; or, if they should, that
they win become laws. They are
brutum fulmen-made only for
alarming. They cannot pass into
laws for if they did q new war
would begin, and that is not what
is desirable any where on this con-
tinent. We want peace, and not
war, or an apprehension of war.

JEFF. Davis, Trial
FoarRrss Mosnor,, Nav re. 1865.

FORTRESS MONROE may IL, 1900.
JEFF. Davis received the notice Of the
indictment for treason presented against
him by the Grand Jury Of the United
States Circuit Court. recently 10 sqssiou
10 Norfolk. with something more than
sloical indifference. On the contrary.
he expressed himself. as l am told. great
" pleased at the result, and hoped that
b is case would now be soon decided. He
shows himself in bis conversation on the
subject to have been perfectly sincere in
his avowals all along Of an earnest desire
to be placed ON trial. While I do not
believe that be for a moment eDtertains
any apprehension as to the result Of the
trial, l am satisfied that he both expects
and desires that the examination shall be
Of the most thorough and searching char.
acter. His chief point Of defence. as be
has frequently stated. will be based on
the subject Of State rights and the pre-.
roga,ive granted every citizen of State
to sustain the official action Of such State.
I think, moreover, he feels confident Of
receiving fair and impartial trial, and
is willing to abide the issue. To his
counsel, / am told. he has already writ
ten on the subject Of his expected trial
Come what will. JEFF. Davis will show
himself no cowardly prisoner at the bar
Of justice. The attacks in the Southern
press (whose editors hope TINS to bolster
up his oase) against Judge Underwood
and the other members of the Grand Ju-
ry, he does not, am satisfied, sympalhize
with in the least. and all their multsr-
iDgs about packed juries and corrupt
judges have no effec. upon him.-N. Y.

his political career, know hat he ia utter
ly wanting in tact or skill in the Intrigue,
Of politics, and We venture to say thai
every one who has thus observed him
believe in their. hearts,
"Heil prove more true
Than those who have more cunning to be

Judge Sharkey has ever been con,
scientious Union man; this principle in
heres in his very being, but as arden,ly
AS it was entertained. it never betrayed
him into an act in opposition 10 The in
leresls OF his State. He acquiesced in
the issue OF affairs in 1851, though with
sorrowful heart; and we have good
reason for saying, that he would have
given his services TO the State, or to the
government which he found himself IN
der, if any opportunity OF doing SO had
been afforded him.
That he regarded the interests Of his
State as paramount. let his course in the
beginning OF his experience as Provisional
Governor of the State abundsntly testify
He was the first man in the whole South
to occupy the anomalous and very crit
ical position Of Provisional Governor. and
il was at time too when President John
son had not fully committed himself as
friend to TIE South.
His first act 10 landing at Vicksburg
was to Dust the military from The court
house and re-es,sblish the civil tribunals;
and when there was threatened COLI
sion between the civil and military, he
appealed to Washington by telegraph.
and frankly stated in private circles, that
il the President did no. sustain him in
maintaining the rights Of the citizens OF
his State, he would forthwith resign his
position.
Mississippi's sacred interests are as
safe in the hands Of William L. Sharkey
as they could possibly be in the hands Of
the very truest Of her noble sons: if any
act Of bis should ever isrnish her fair es-
cuIcheon, or be arrayed against her sue
cess, we are assured it would be an error
of The head and not OF the heart.
Years agone, we frequently said the
following sentiment could be aptly appli-
ed to Judge Sharkey, and now, since be
has passed through new and untried or
deals so credirably. and under the bur
den OF responsibilities a; once strange aod
perious acquitted himself so nobly, we
think it applicable in a greater degree

How they are Going,

In Tennessee and Missouri there
are more Instructions to q reunion
| than in all the rest of the States. In
the former Parson Brownlow IS Gov
ernor, and he stands as an obstacle to
every proposition Of humanity; and
vet this man-''so -CallCd"-Was one
4 of the most earnest men Of the coun-
| try in his efforts to conserve slavery.
He is so base, however, that a gen
tlenan may not stoop to give him
any respect; but he is troublesome
fellow. who, by reasons that We can
not comprehend, has q large inhu-
ence. That he has it is a stigma on
the people of Tennessee. They must
be held responsible for the bypo-
crisy and knavery OF this very bad
man.
The dominent influence Of Nilsson.
ri is even baser than Brovnlow-and
that is saying a good deal. Within
that State no Christian has a right
to say a prayer for those who need
much praying for, unless he have
taken an oath which no honest man
can take.
In Missouri, especially in its cen
trail influence, st. Louis, there is q
majority of persons who have no re-
spect for God, the Devil or man; and
from them one can expect no good,
except what might be expected from
the Red Republicani.m of Europe,
which has made crimson hundreds
of battle-felds and desolatcd thous-
ands of households.
1t is the maiign influence Of these
people that is disturbing the peace
Of the country, as can be seen in the
telegraplic news which we publish
ed yesterday. Mr.. McElary, of Mis-
souri,, offered in the House of Repre-
scntatives last Monday serious Of
resolutions providing for a standing
army in the South for which luxury
our people must pay. They were re-
ferred to committee. Another
demagogue from Missouri offered
resolutions providing for the cxccu-
ton of an unlimited number of re-
bells in each Southern State-to be
made, we suppose, by draft. This
proposition, it is said, in the report.
was adopted, whether absolutely, or
for reference to a committee, is not
stated in the dispatches.
We are not in the least alarmed by
these measures. They help to ring
the bell which will soon toll the
death-knen of the party which enter
tains them.
The tribe Of demagogues is illimit-
able, but, happily. it is not immor
tai. The rascals in Missouri are tax
ing care of their own future. Any
thing in that State-if it be cTue'
and respect nothing that we have
reverenecd-is likely to find great
deal Of succor. If there were q
proposition made in ST. Louis t
abolish Christ and the future. il
would be carried by a popular VOTE
easily, and the Legislature would
adopt it.. Yet there is much saving
grace Within that sturdy city. There
