We quote the following statement In relation to
the recent failure OF the Merchants National Bank,
of Memphis
The Merchants National Bank, OF Memphis was
taken In hand by an oficer Of the Treasury Depart
ment last Saturday, and its AFFAIRS were wound up.
The officer IL reported to have found no cash and
nothing to the credit OF the concern with other banks
or correspondence The liabilities amount to
$500 ooO-viz., $500, 900 due to the banks in New
York and $2o0, 900 due depositors. The bank has
paper assets OF $40O0OO worth perhaps twenty five
per cent The depositors caught by the failure were
mostly heavy ones and few In number, the small
ones having been paid, with few II any exceptions
The heaviest sufferer by the collapse will be the
Metropolitan Bank OF New York. In fact, the weight
OF the failure Is very largely IN New York. The quiet
ness OF the failure is remarked upon In strange
contrast with the excitement that attended the fall
ure OF the Gayos0 Bank some months ago.

Carl Schurz.

BY the following correspondence
it will DO seen that this eloquent
German orator will be unable tospeak
in Iowa the present campaign-his
time being taken up in the doubtful
States:
CHICAGO. Sept. IL, 1868.
Hon. CARL ScHURz:-Tremont House.
Ny Dear Sir:-At the
Republican National Convention held
at Chicago in May last, you gave me
assurances that you would give us q
few speeches in Iowa dur ng the
Campaign.
Will you address the German citi-
zens of our State at the following
places. (Time for meeting to be ar
ranged hereafter.) Keokuk, Fort
Madison, Burlington, Muscatine,
Davenport, Clinton, Lyons, Sabula,
Dubuque, McGregor, Lansing, Cedar
Rapids, Council Bluffs, and Des
Moines. As you have never address,
ed the people of our State, we are
extremely anxious to hear you on the
great questions OF the day. No man
can do greater service to the Repub-
lican party in this State than your
self, and while we are aware that
with US the question is merely one of
majority, we are DESTROYS to make
that majority as large as possible
For this reason l hope you will find
it consistent with your other engage.
ments to fulfil the promise you made
to me in May.
Soliciting an early reply, l remain,
yours with great respect,

Chairman Iowa State Elk. Committee.

Vallandinghann.

When jury ofhis peers had sem
Vallandingham, into the enemies
lines, where he properly belonged
instead ofshooting him, he went to
Richmond, and encouraged the rebels
to hold out. He told Robt Ould, Com.
missioner for the exchange of prison
ers. He (Mr. Hallandighana) said
It you can only hold out this year, that
the Peace party Of the North would
s,oeep the Lincoln dynasty out of eris-
tence. He seemed to have thought
that our cause was sinking, and fear
ed zoe 'ooald submit, which, of course,
WOULD BE RUINous TO HIS PARTY
But he advises strongly against any
invasion OF Pennsylvania, for that
would unite oil parties at the North,
and SO strengthen Lincoln's hands
that he would be able to crush all op-
position, and trample upon the con-
stltutlonal rights Of the people"

Know nottingham.

The sweet scented democracy,
which adores foreigners, so long as
they can be tamely driven to the polls
to vote their ticket, and which so
heartily despises and abuses them,
the moment they assert their manhood
and independence by voting accor-
ding to the dictates oftheir own con-
sciences, has given a remarkable
illustration of their hostility to Know
Nothingism, this year, by putting
Frank Blair, the great St. Louislead-
err of Know Nothingism on their tick
ct for Vice President, and by drumming
Theodore Randolph, for Governor Of
New Jersey, who with every other
subordinate on the ticket with him,
was during the proscriptive reign of
Nativism in this country, its most
violent advocates.

For Grant.

Robt. Boiling, a prominent Virgin.
ian, and near relative Of Gen. Lee,
has written powerful letter against
Seymour Il Blair, and their rcvolu-
tionary platform, and openly an.
nounces himself for Grant, Colfax and
Peace.
The following is the closing pas.
sage Of the letter:
"In fact, the Democracy are al
ready as bad as their word, and even
now q merciless, savage warfare, to
the full extent of their power, is
waged upon all men, white or black,
native or foreign born, who do not
enlist under their banner. Slavery
more intolerable than that which has
just passed away, exists in full force
throughout Virginia-the enslave.

ercise OF the right of private judg.
mont and freedom of speech is sought
to be punished or controlled by the
most inhuman denunciations, Sian.
ders and threats of social, political
and commercial ontlawry. Blair
pledges war. Grant pledges peace,
and honestly believe that upon the
election Of General Grant the peace
and happiness Of our whole country
depends.

Cheering.

The Louisville Courier, one Of the
hottest organs of the Klu-Klux de.
mocracy, contains the following
cheering account of the political
"posish" in Maine. in its issue of the
18th inst, being two days after the
election, and Waterloo defcat of the
Johnny Rebs in the Pine Tree State:
"From Maine, where the canvass
is thorough, we have nothing but
cheering news. The good work in.
augurated by Mr.. Pendleron is being
most effectively followed up by q
number Of eloquent and effective
speakers. The great and absorbing
question Of taxation is being pushed
home to the feelings and understand
ing of every man, and our friends
who started out in the campaign
with no brighter hope than roduc-
ton Of the Radical majority Of last
year, are now hopeful Of even carry

Henry Ward Beecher.

This distinguished divine has en-
tirely recovered from his recent
slight attack of conservatism, judg-
ing from the following extract from
one of his recent letters:
"Since all the men who sought to
destroy this Government are rally
ing around Seymour, it is fit that all
men who stood up for the Union
should gather about Grant. 1t is an
honor that will not happen twice in
q mans lifetime to have q chance to
vote for such q man as Grant. No
young man can well afford to throw
away his chance. Even if done, it
ought to be in favor of some better
man than he who, through all the
years from 1860 to 1868, studied
how to help Southern treason with
out mourning the risk and pains Of
overt and courageous reasonable
acts. l am very truly yours,
HENRY WARD BEECHER."
