Kasby ana the Register.

Our good friend Of the Register must
realize that he stopped over in the Mas
by business. In his anxiety to make a
point on Mr.. Locke (who has inflicted
so much punishment on the Demo.
cratic party) the Register man assumed
what was absolutely untrue according
to the testimony of four most respects
able gentlemen, viz: that Mr. Locke
was disabled from speaking by indul-
gence in liquor. Yet despite the tosti-
mony Of those gentlemen as Published
in its columns, that they visited Mr.
Locke at his room, that some OF them
were with him near an hour before his
apology at the hall, and they none of
them either detected or had reason to
suspect him of being or having been
under the influence OF liquor, the Re
giStcr declines to make "either retrac-
ton or modification" Our friend may
be assured that "retraction or modifica-
ton" is not of the least consequence.
The public will have no difficulty,
from the testimony we copy below, in
forming its judgment. Our cotempor-
airy having made his charges with u
reckless Disregard of the truth, he is
quite consistent in sticking to them in
tho same way.

AmARvELLOUs STORY.
Einbnd and Robinson CrusOc OutdOne
by n Yankee Sailor.

The Tribune relates a marvellous
story of the adventures of Kochester
boy named Jerry Daily, who began a
seafariug life at the tender age OF nine
years, and who after an absence OF
thirty-twO years, returned to MS natlVe
State as the monarch of the Marquesas
Islands, where he rules absolutely over
two thousand subjects, under the ter
rifying title of "Cannibal jack" but
which, by right, should be rendered
"King of the Cannibai Islands" Daily
WAS an apprentice on Seine steamer
plving between HAvre and ROuen;
then he tried life on Scotch schooner,
but an accident threw him upon me
mcrcies Ofu Swedish crew in the Baltic
Sea. 1t seepls the stock was Inn
tied, and Daily deserted to Russian
brig ont of which he fell into a swift
sailing fruiterer upon the mellow
Mediterranean. Next this BOY OF many
adventures sunk to the depths OF VeS-
sci in search of Goldfish, from which ne
emerged to serve on a whaler. here ne
first contracted an "intimacy with his
present subjects. From that time Tor
ward his life was spent mainly among
the savages of the MarQuesas, FRIENDLY
and Society Indians. Just here we
would remark that all the accounts we
receive OF these terrestrial spots 90 not
seem to correspond with their attractive
Yankee sailor reigned in "naked and
native dignity, with his tGppG girdle
and his feather headdress." And there,
we may add, Cannibal Jack admits
that he has fourteen wives in one house
how many others have basked in
the light of the Yankee sailor
bows cOuntenance we are not informed.
He makes the laws, plans the raids on
other savages, and permits his subjects
to roast the bodies of their slain enc
mics between big stones, after stuthng
them with sweet scented leaves" No
white man is treated in that manner
with Jacks permission or knowledge.
All of these statements are SWbStGn-
tiatcd, Men from California, old sail
ors from the bay of Naples, and many
others recognize in Jack the hoy of the
"fruiterer." Jack was brought here in
irons. The story is too long TO tell how
Jack was seized with longing to see
his native land once more, "fell among
thieves" and is out at the elbows in
New York-a thing Jack must be used
to by this time. lie is preparing to re-
turn to his fourteen wives in one house,
as soon as he can gather up some tools
ammunition and "bundle of old story
papers to last him his unnatural llte'
time.b

new banks in those sections of the
country that have not now their proper
proportion. The bill also provides that
$3.50. 600. 900 of national currency shall
he distributed according to representa-
ton in Congress-, and $l50, 100000 ac-
cording to the appraised value of all
property, real and personal. This would
seem to be just and equal, since 1t
makes population and property the two
controlling elements of the distribution.
We hope that Congress will pass this
bill, or some other better suited 10 tne
end. The end to be gained is II public
want. especially in the Southern and
Southwestern States.-N. Y. Ind.

NASHVILLE, March 81.
Advices from Greenville state that
Ex-President Johnson is recovered
from his recent sick spell, and that he
will certainly speak in Knoxville on
next Saturday.
On the Tuesday or Wednesday, fol-
lowing he will be in Nashville, and will
address what promises TO be the largest
crowd ever assembled in the City of
Rocks.
1t is definitely ascertained that Mr..
johnson is stoutly opposed to the DEM
ocratic gubernRtOrial canvass with the
Franchise Law left as it is by the Su-
preme Court, and the Radical ranks
presenting an undivided front. Defeat,
he thinks, under the circumstances,
would badly damage the Conservative
cause, and possibly put of enfrAnchlse-
ment for two or three years. The OBJ
iect of his forthcoming address Is In
tended more as a sort OF review or vim
dication OF his Presidential career than
as a campaign speech.
If there is any possible chance OF
Conservative success, however, i'll dl-
rect canvass, Mr.. Johnson is bound to
give his stump efforts direction that
will have direct and telling effect. A
few weeks will determine whether or
not there will be canvass.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.
Tho Condition of tho National Banks.

The last quarterly statement of the
National Banks shows their condition
on the first Monday of January, 1869.
The 6fty.six banks in the city of New
York had liability of S206, 100000 and
a protecting reserve of legal tenders to
the amount of $71 900 600, or 35 per cent.
more than the law requires. Those OF
the fifteen principal cities of the Union.
not including New York, 1G4 in num-
ber, had liabilities to the amount OF
1920. .OOO, 900, and their reserve of legal
tenders 81, ,OO0, 900, or nearly 80 per
cent. above the legal requirement. The
banks leuuired to hold 10 per cent. OF
legal tenders are LAOS; their aggregate
liabilities were $406, 100000; and they
had S93, ,OOO, 600 of reserve, or about 90
per cent. in excess of. the amount inn
posed by law.
Some allowance is to be made for
these figures, considered as presenting
the average condition OF the oanKsI II
mas been their practice to increase their
Iepal-tender reserve just be fore the time
of their quarterly reports. The effect
has been TO create a little stringenCy in
the money market. This will be so no
longer, since Congress has provided
that these reports shall be made for
some past duy, not known to the banks
beforehand. This legislation will keep
the banks in a more uniform state, and
make the figures of the reports more
exactly correspondent with their real
condition. S-
The national banking system is un-
uuestionably success. 1t gives the
people paper currency better and safer
than they ever had before, and not ex-
ceeded, II equaled, by any in the world.
The amount OF this circulation author
iZed by law is $500, 900, 900. This may
need no increase at present. But more
currency will be needed before long.
What is wanted now is simply such a
redistribution of this amount, by lessen
ing 1t in some places and increasing it
in others, as will give all parts of the
country their just proportion of Nation
al Banks. This Is the object of the Cur
rency Bill recently introduced in
into Congress by Mr.. Coburn, of
Indiana. Mr.. Coburn, in this bill,
proposes to withdraw from existing
banks certain percentage of their cir
culation, according to capital, and make
this the basis for the establishment OF

Editors of the Register:
We have noticed with regret the ar
ticle in your local column OF this morn
ing. respecting the indispOsition of Mr..
d Il. Locke (better known as Petroleum
V. Nasby,) by reason OF which he was
unable to deliver his lecture at WASH
ington Hall last evening. Presuming
that YOU have no desire to I'M ure the
personal character of even political
opponent by misrepresenting physical
disability Occasioned by disease, to be
the result of intoxicatiOu, ,wo ask you 10
publish this card:
We haVe.Deen personally acquainted
with MIR. Locke for several years past,
and can say that he is not addicted to
intemperance. Alter his arrival at the
Mcclure House yesterday afternoon we
called upon him, and found him upon
his bed, suffering from "a severe attnck
of neuralgia. We remained with him
some time, in conversation, and endeav-
oring to minister to his relief, and suf-
ficiently near to have detected the
presence OF liquor from his breath. We
were also with him Immediately after
his public appearance and apology, and
we have no hesitation in saying that he
was not under the influence of liquor.
At no time could we detect the least in
dication of it, either from his breath,
his conversation, or otherwise. We are
satisfied from our observation, as well
as from his own statement. made to us
this morning after reading your article,
that he had not tasted spirituous liquor,
and that the contrary opinion, eXpress-
ed by you and perhaps others present
at the Hall, does him great injustice.
