COMPARATIVE BANK STATEMENT.

1t will be noticed that the banks have
in the year reduced their legal tenders
S32 100000, their deposits $38, 100000, and
have increased their circulation 81 ,286, 900.
Their surplus of reserve, including com,
has been reduced from $34, 100000 to ST., :
All 900, net loss of 1913, 387 Isl on their
surplus of reserve.
From September % to December |, 1866,
the loss in legal tenders, to move asmaller
crop than that of 1867, was 500, 100000,
sum equal to so per cent. eff the present
legal tenders in the Clearing House. IL is
evident that the city banks, aud, in fact,
the entire banking interest of the country
will be able for some time to obtain full
rates for all the money they can spare to
move the crops The United States trea-
sury is not in a condition to come to the
relief of borrowers, if such policy should
be desired. 1t has funds enough on de-
post with the national banks and in the
sub-treasury to meet maturing compounds,
and 30 pay its debts as they mature, with
out resorting to "the small dodge" of asking
an extension on its compound notes, by
using three per cent. certificates TO pay
them. The city banks have no remedy for
the drain of currency to move the crops,
but to cancel their cali loans to spectators,
and employ their capital in commercial
channels. ..-,t ..
The New York Post of the afternoon Of
the 23d inst. says: ''The loan market is
working more steadily. There is an am
pie supply of available funds at 7 per cent
and fair amount of transactions at 6. The
disbursements from the treasury were
heavy during the last three days Of the
week, and the New York balance fell from
one hundred and twenty-four millions to
one hundred and eighteen millions. To
this letting out of the greenbacks which
have been locked up is attributed, in part
the cessation of the spasm which was com
planned of few days ago, and the improve
ment which has been developed to-day and
Saturday. The treasury is still offering to
buy seven hirties at 107, which was the
price paid last week. In commercial paper
little is doing Prime bills pass at ia 81"

The Common Council convened in regu-
lar meeting yesterday, President Cotton in
the chair.

A number of reports, heretofore pub

accounts were allowed.

showing 465 prescriptions issued from An
gust 25th to September 18th, at a cost of

FROM THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
The bill for the opening of a street, fifty
feet wide, from market TO Front, near the
centre between Broad and Church streets,
was passed on its third reading.
The bill appropriating $1,000 for the
colored schools passed on its third reading
The bill for the widening of Union street
from Cherry to Summer, ELECTED consider
able discussion, Mr., Walsh opposing the
provisions for no increase of assessment
on real estate of property holders interested
because Of their donations.
MIR. Morris said that the provisions for
preventing the increase Of assessment during
five years were not the seeking of Mr..
Nichol, the person most interested. He
hoped the bill would pass
President Cotton strongly advocated the
passage of the bill. sr6.
Mr.. Paul urged the immediate opening
of the street as matter of economy. If
buildings should be put upon the vacant
lots, the expense would then be much
greater.
Mr.. Lellyett said the property would be
assessed according to the value, and if the
property were increased in value by the
improvement Mr.. Nichol would of course
lose nothing by fair assessment. He op-
posed the passage of the bill, as discrimi-
native, taking similar ground to that ofMr.
Walsh. r..
Mr.. Rhea argued for the bill, which,
after some further discussion passed its
first and second readings by the following
vote:
Yeas, Graves, Coltart, Ambrose, Nor
ris, Hagey, Edwards, Rhea, Paul, Hudson,

the amended resolution renting Red Mems

$3.50 quite sufficient. Lost and the resp

The resolution authorizing the employ

Under the delusion that Gen. Geo. H.
Thomas was TO speak at the corner of Sum
mer and Union streets last night, a very
large crowd gathered there at an early
hour 1t turned out to be H. H. Thomas,
however, an individual of hardly less i'm
portance if hard blowing could make the
man, and the crowd wilted as he majesti-
cally rose and introduced his speech with
somethingfunny about the extremity of his
coat.
But II. H. was not the only speaker; ;
there was whole army of them, and no
end to the transparencies. One of
these transparencies said, "No more
dictation from the quinine editor"
another, "The majority must and will
rule !" another, brains rs. Property"
and still another had the figure of man
upside down, with the word "Fogyism,"
and {" Whoever Thought we Should Come
to This2"
H. H. was very bitter. He denounced
the Recorder as little tyrant who had
taken the wind out of their sails by stop
ping their music Every qualified voter
should vote on Saturday in spite of His
Lordship Matt. Brown or the City Council.
If the flower Of the Southern army couldn't
capture the black brigade, Matt. Brown
couldn't do it, etc. -. arn.r-
Savage, a renegade Democrat from Ohio,
spoke what he termed little fre-side
conversation, but said as much Of nothing
as could well be uttered in the time he oc-
cupied. He is poor stick, whoever he
may be.
Capl Allen, an Indiana carpet-bag, said
that Mercer had done so much with quiz
nine that it was ringing in his ears yet.
Secretary Fletcher was a man distinguished
only for the width of his pantaloons, the
size of his boots, and the depth of his belly.
The first he had known of Fletcher, was
that the Secretary mad written a letter to
JEFF Davis, offering to raise Rebel regi-
ment. This Fletcher would not dare deny,
any more than Mercer would deny ped
ding uuinine When the war was going
on, he fled, vagabond, into Indiana, and
was not there three days before he got into
fat Office. Fl
Scovel had ground the faces Of the poor,
and had never been known to give penny
for charity. He couldn't get the support
of any respectable convention in Nashville.
There were transpsrencies here, and all of
them appropriate, but he wanted 70 see an
other. He wanted to see big horn paint
ed, with Mercer and Scovel coming out of
the little end.
Andy johnson had sent Gen. Thomas
down here to turn his bayonets upon the
the Army of the Cumberland, but the game
would not work. Every man with GER
tifcate should vote. Gov. Brownlow had
not backed from the track, and would not
bulge an inch.
The other speakers followed in turn, and
the uproar was kept up to a late hour.
Support from Gen. Thomas is confdent-
ly looked for by the more sanguine of the
Radicals, who seem to forget that he is a
soldier.

eleven years Of age, whom he had adopted
into his family, She was the daughter of

The New York TFi6nne saws :

Inc new ork 1Tt0u1S says
The bank statement is more unfayorable
than was expected, and disappoints those
who have tried to believe the advanced
rates artificial The statement shows a
decrease in legal tenders of nearly $500,
900, with a loss in deposits of an equal
amount. The surplus of revenue is re-
duced s., l72,06l, and, excluding the gold
on deposit, the Clearing House is already
reduced to within $3,000,000 Of the reserve
called for by law The causes which have
so rapidly depleted them of legal tender
money are still in operation, with steadily
increasing force, and parties having none
tary engagements naturally look with care
to the future. The banks have still in the
immediate future quarterly statement for
which the interior banks are i'll prepared,
Judging from the Boston bank report, when,
as a whole, the movement is outside the
law. In October another mass of coupons
falls due, which the Secretary has the abil-
ity to meet by using his deposits at the ma
tional banks. When paid the banks will
be much weaker in their resources to the
extent the Secretary uses the national bank
notes The third and most active cause in
disturbing the money market, the demand
to move the crops, remains, and the ability
of the banks to meet it is the point to which
attention is most given. To ascertain the
ability Of the banks to move the crops, a
statement of their condition as compared
with last year will be found Of value. 1t is

Room it is generally the custom, as every
one knows to have several champions present to
entertain the public FOB FEW HOURS; but on
account of so much suffering among our people.
we thought proper to give the orphans of this
city and poor of Chattanooga that benefit, which
we have done for the last two weeks. And
again as it is sometimes the custom of giving
premiums, such as watches etc, and having
proof of the last two weeks business that the
citizens of Nashville appreciate our efforts to
help the needy, we have therefore concluded to
give ten per cent. of our profit to the poor of
Nashville, from the LIST day of April. 1867, up to
October 1st, 1867, (siK months,) which amount
will be RENTED weekly to the Mayor of Nash

cause and sustain ii. r
