an examination was made Immediately after his

Our astonishment at the amount OF blindness
evidenced in the whole transaction increases, a.
we learn the modus operdndi Of the defacator.
Ii appears that the cashier would remain at night
after the others had departed, and destroy the i'm
mediate evidence Of his fraudulent transactions by
manipulating the books, making false entries, etc.
That these facts should escape the notice of those
whose business il is or should be, to be perfectly
familiar at ell times with the affairs and standing
of the bank, Is of course matter of extreme won.
der but when We further learn thatit has scarcely
been month since one Of those lynx-eyed govern
ment examiners paid the institution critical
visit, and made favorable report, our faith in
things temporal begins to wane.
Such are the facts In the case OF the Fourth
National Bank, whose suspension is the first &C.
currence Of its kind in this city for twelve years.
We sincerely hope that the promises made for its
resumption are well founded and that it will soon
be enabled to open its doors.

The effort which is being made to direct the
great Western grain trade TO this port as point
Of shipment, while it will undoubtedly be of great
benefit TO our city commercially, may possibly
have an other effect, which might be Of vast I'M
portsnce TO owners of real estate, not only in the
city, but in the interior. We sllude to the oppor
tunities which the number of large ships coming
to this port for grain will afford TO emigrants and
the likelihood Of their being used for that pur-
pose in preference to bringing them here light.
A large clipper built sailing ship, such as Is
generally used for carrying grain, could at little
expense be arranged to accommodate several
hundred emigrants, and as good cargo of these
would 60 far towards paying the expenses Of the
entire voyage, it ID but natural to suppose that
the agents and owners of these vessels will use
every exertion to obtain it. Our State will thus
have in all the great European hives of popua-
ton interested agents, who will not neglect TO
make known to the fullest extent the advantages
of our city as place for business, and the su
periorty Of soil and climate to agriculturists
Men, who, In former years were among the fore
most to decry our people, our institutions and our
section of the Union, will now find that it Is to
their interest to change their course. and judging
from the powerful influence which they exerted
formerly in favor Of the West, We can safely be.
ieve that they VIII become exceedingly valuable
friends.
When IL is remembered that the majority of
these grain carrying ships will trade particularly
between this port and those of the most populous
nations of Europe. and that upon the obtaining of
good passenger list may depend the whole prof
its of their voyages in times of great competition,
we feel almost certain that those in Europe inter-
ested in them willuse every means in their power
to induce emigration. Europe will ring of the ad
vantages afforded by the South to poor men, aud
every village will be canvassed and every hamlet
hand billed.
We do not consider that in thus estimating the
importance of this grain shipping business we
exsggerate, and We sincerely hope that real es-
tate owners, both In the city and in the country,
will consider the subject and throw the weight of
their influence towards fostering and building it
up as rapidly possible, for believe that in it
lie the germs of future wealth, prosperity and
power for our city and State.
