PRESENTATION OF a TESTIMONIAL TO Mr..
HENRY T. PEAKE.-As soon as 1t was known
that Mr. Henry T. Peake, the general superln'
tendent Of the South Carolina Railroad, had
resigned the responsible position he had held
for so many years, 1t was determined by the
employees Of the company to give the retiring
ofacer substantial and enduring mark of
their confidence and respect. committee
consisting of Aessrs. George Strong, John
Hernandez, J. q. Buckhalter, A. Meyer, J. A.
Moseley and C. T. W. syfan consented to take
charge OF the preparation OF the testimonial,
and these gentlemen have certainly discharS-
ed the duty entrusted to them in tasteful
and highly satisfactory manner.
The testimonial, which was forwarded to Mr..
Peake on Saturday, consists of . solid silver
tea and coffee. service, Of eight pieces, viz: a
huge salver, saater pitcher, ateapot, a coffee
pot, chocolate pot, asugar dish, arream Jug,
and slop bowl. These are of avery hand
some pattern, and are elaborately chased and
engraved. Upon the principal pieces is the
following inscriptions. t.Presented to Henry
7. Peake by the employees of the South Caro-
lima Railroad Charleston, S. O., July, l, 1870
The whole service (Which Is valued at slOOo)
does great credit to the skill of the makers,
Messrs. ". Darlington & Co., and to the taste
of the committee.
Mr. Peakewas in the service of the South
Carolina Railroad just thirty years. In 1885 he
went upon the road as an apprentice, and ad
yanced steadily until ls49, when he took en-
tire charge of the machine shops Of the Green
vile and Columbia Railroad Company. In
1852 he became general superintendent of the
| Greenyille and Columbia Railroad, which posi-
ton he held until December 1854, when he
became general superintendent Of the South
Carolina Railroad Company, holding the latter
Office until July lst, last. Upon the occasion
of his withdrawal from the Greenvllle and Co
lumbia Railroad, the employees Of that com
pany presented to Mr.. Peake massive service
of plate, appropriately inscribed.
Mr. Peake gained hosts OF friends while ne
occupied the responsible and arduous position
of general superintendent Of the most impor'
tant railroad in the State, and the testimonial
which he has received from It's employees is
fitting recognition Of his ability, fidelity

BOWLING GREEN UY.) HANK,
The 4. q. calvert Failure.

The condition of the Bowling Green
Bank incident TO the failure of the
Cashier, II. G. Calvert, and the losses
OF creditors and depositors, was mem
toned frequently in business circles
during last week. We RETAINED from
referring to the subject until'addition-
al particulars were obtained. From
the Bowling Green Democrat of
last Saturday we copy the following
which will throw further light upon
the subject:
. The most interesting topic Of dis
cussion in this city during the past
week has been the unexpected assign
ment made for the benefit of creditors
by Mr.. Calvert, the well known
Cashier of the Bank of Bowling
Green. This financial failure has
proved to be an extensive one, affect
ing the pockets of many citizens of
this and adjoining counties. 1t is the
elimination ola series of speculations
I'm cotton, gold and tobacco, running
through several preceding years
No man In this community enjoyed
to n larger degree than Mr.. Calvert
the implicit confidence of money
holders and money lenders, and the
shock to business circles following
this assignment was, for the moment,
both startling and fearful. The di-
rectors of the bank have engaged the
services of Mr.. Duncan, of Louis
vile, an expert, to traverse the
books of the bank, and he Is now
closely engaged i'm at work. The
assignees of Mr.. Calvert have called
for all the claims against him, and a
full inventory of his assets and liza.
bilities is being carefully prepared, and
will be made public rs soon rs 1t can
he completed. In general terms, We
are enabled to state that Mr.. Calverts
assets will approach S230,000. Hi:
liabilities will reach not less thar
100000
He abstra cted from the bank $780,.
600 of special deposits, and $50, 900 OF
bank funds. Suits are likely to bt
brought against the bank by specia
depostors, which will test the ques
ton whether or not the bank can bt
held liable in the premises. A radi
cal difference of opinion prevails
amons lawyers here on this import
ant legal question. The excitement
growing out of this failure has wei
nigh subsidized in the com munity, bu
all are awaiting with anxiety the fina
issue of the affair.

Gratz brown on Grant.

From Browns st. Joseph speech.
Who made Gen. Grant, and what
was he, that he should talk in this
wise? When the war began he was
one of the humblest citizens of this
country, without voice and without
influence, who had never given di-
rection to the public opinion of the
nation, and by whatright does he as
sumo To do so now?
Does he stand as one of the accred-
tied leaders Of public thought? Does
he stand as one of the men who has
been identified with the triumphs of
freedom in the past? Does he stand
as one Of the monuments that we
have been accustomed to look to for
our inscriptions of freedom hereto
fore?
II not, then | have only to say it
would be wise and well for such men
TO leave the completion of the freedom
of this country to the achievement of
the men who have undertaken IL and
have accomplished it without inter
ference on the part of those who have
simply reaped its rewards.

THE October number of the Spectator,
lished at New York, speaks as follows:
"The July statement of the Piedmont
and Arlington Life company meets our
eye in the Richmond Dispatch. Some of
the items are calculated TO arrest attention
and suggest inquiry. The receipts for the
first six months of 1870 are stated to have
been SOIL ,0I5; and the disbursements, s2s2, =
40l so that he percentage OF total expense
to total income, for the time, was 50 per
cent. Included in the assets, we find $780,
6i2 of leash due from agents" and "pre-
miums In transitu," amounting to more
than eighty-elght per cent of the entire
reported premiums of the last six months.
Besides this Item OF premiums in hands of
agents, making up more than one-fourth
of the total assets as reported, there are
Sll ,0iS for "ofiice furniture:" 81. 400 In the
company's stock; sll9, 52l % In deferred pre-
policies In force; and $40, 1902. 05 other loans
Among the stocks and bonds owned by
the company. we notice one or two sorts
which are worth par, and were to give the
company the benefit of the premiums on
Its few overnment bonds the whole line
would not give much promise of being a
permanently advantageous list of invest
ments: The company has about $4,000 OF
unsettled losses TO meet; and on the whole
we do not discern as much progress In fact
as the figures try to impress us with.
Is worthy of remark that some Of the
Piedmont and Arlington agents have the
had habit of inducing transfers of policies
from other companies, by Offering to make
premiums Conform to the rate at which
such policies are already running! That
Is, to insure such customers at the low or
rate belonging to an earlier age. This per-
niciOus practice must work injury to any
company pushing 1t. Obviously improper
and unsafe, 1t Is even moro clearly, mean
and dishonest.

such an extent that the leading bank

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE sortie under
Trochu Saturday completed the work
of driving the Germans from their
investing positions south and west of
Paris. The French advanced under
cover of tremendous canonades in
three columns upon Cherilly, Sevres
and Bongival. The latter was the
most serious attack, and resulted in
the defeat Of the POmeranians under
General Won Kirchback. This com

HARRISBURG, Oct. f3.--The official
returns in the Congressional and Leg
islative elections h this State have
notall been received, hut enough to
show that the Democrats have gained
six Congressman, and lost one in the
Legislature, Judge Woodward's dis
trict. The election of b. T. Myers,
Democrat, in the Bedford district,
over John Cessna, Republican, Is
conceded by SO majority. His seat
will be contested by Mr.. Cessna, who
alleges that frauds were com mitted
in Bedford and Somerset counties by
the Democrats. The Republicans
will have one majority in the Senate,
and from present indications, six in
the House. This will give the Re
publicans a majority of seven on joint
ballot.
The official count of the vote of the
Sixteenth Congressional district gives
the election to Sherman, Democrat,
by two majority.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE following is
strictly true: After the loss of 900
900 stands of arms at Sedan, the Gov
eminent sent to England to repair
the loss by the purchase of as many
rifles as possible. They obtained
some, but nothing like the num-
Der anticipated. When the French
arrived at Birmingham, they found
the Prussian authorities in England
had advanced large sums Of money
on stock in the gun trade and offered
the sale with special agreement that
the arms should be foreclosed IL sales
were made to the French. The con-
sequence was that the French agents
were able to pick up chance lots not
covered by bill of sale. France now
offers to buy any number of rifles in
America at $50 francs each delivered
in a French report.
