len, Ward & Co., brokers, borrowed up-
wards of half a million of dollars from
the Merchants Bank, Boston, deposit
ing gold and gold certificates as collate-
raj security. Afterward a member or
the brokers' firm came to the bank to
repay the loan and take up the securi-
ties. He gave in payment checks upon
the State Bank, Boston, the cashier of
that institution being with him, and
certifying his checks as 'sgood," in the
usual form. When the checks were
presented at the State Bank, payment
was refused. for the reason that the
drawers, Mellen, Ward & Co., had no
funds in the bank. The Merchants
Bank Immediately brought suit against
the State Bank, and the whole case
turned npon the simple question: "Is
the bank bound by the act of its cash
ier? The Court below held that the
authority to certify checks was not in
herent in the cashier, and there being
no evidence that it had been expressly
conferred by the bank the jury was di-
rected to find a verdict for the defend
ant: From this judgment the plaintiff
took an appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court, where the decision of the
Court below was reversed.

DISMAL PIETY.-Can any one go back
far enough in Church history to tell us
just where Gloom crept in under covert
of solemnity, and made people believe
that Piety meant grimness, and that to
be a servant of God one must be at war
with all innocent enioyments? 1t was a
long time ago years before Cromwell's
time. though that period, is generally
quoted as the beginning Of the austere
and terrible religion. Indeed, now that
the subject presents itself, it must have
been before Judas day, for did he not
cavil at the loving generosity of Mary,
and try TO convict her of sinful prodi-
gality because her devotion to her Lord
took a form that did not please his tastea
He was a thief in his heart, and all
gloomy groaners who want to drag re-
ligion out of the sunlight into the shad-
ows are apt to be hypocrites in theirs,
True piety is a synonym for sunshine,
an antidote to care. A human being
truly in love with the Creator must be
in harmony with all created things
Heaven ia above the mountain-top, to
which we all try to climb. but mostly
by different ways. Some of us are doubt
ers, who go round firing ourselves out
by cavilling at every open road we see,
and finally creeping upward through
briars and over stones. Others
these are the gloomy ones-prefer to
burrow for a path, and so dive down
into the darksome earth to bore road
upward through b its rocky breast. Such
clouded minds, avoiding the light them-
selves, are the contemners Of gaiety,
the railers at enjoyment, and the de-
nouncers of all earthly happiness. Hav-
ing chosen to climb underground
through mould in the atmosphere of a
damp grave, they are aggrieved at those
who keep up among the grasses and tie
trees shade, who rest at the brooks
side and stop to look on the beauty Of
Gods flowers and listen to the songs
He has taught His birds. They loose
their sympathy with human kind in
their forced seclusion, and, toiling
through the darksome path-their la
borous hands cropping constantly lest
they loose the unlighted way-they find
no wounded pilgrim to whom they can
prove a Good Samaritan, no thirsty
soul that can be refreshed with CUP
of water given in his name, opportunity
to help, to comfort, to encourage.

= Seventeen influential German
journals of both parties, some of them
hitherto staunoh adherents of the ad-
ministration, have come out in favor of
the "new party movement" which Sen
ator Schurz has been urging in Tenne-
see, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois and Mis-
soari. 1t was expected that the Cinci-
nnati Volhstre,nd, now, with its large
weekly circulation, the most influential
democratic German newspaper in the
West, would cordially welcome the new
movement; but it has opposed it lately
in several very bitter articles, insinu-
ating that Senator Schurz advocates the
plan only to secure reelection to the
senate. Mr.. Emil Rothe, the present
editor of the Volksfreuud, and Carl
Schurz, years ago, lived in the small
city of Watertown, Wisconsin, and We're
rival political leaders there.

What New York Owes to Hon
est Democrats,

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, writes:
The victory was attained by the co.
operation of parties -Horatio Seymour,
Charles o. 'Conor, and other Democrats,
not only giving countenance to the civic
struggle, but coming down amongst the
people to stand for small offices, and to
do volunteer work. This is greater
victory than the mere recovery of the
State to the Republican party; it shows
the might beneath parties, the suprem-
acy of decency over passion, and high
citizenship never wholly extinct
amongst the most reactionary and am
bilious leaders. The victory in New
York is ascribable mainly to Democrats
amongst politicians William G. Bar
rett, John Foley, Samuel J. Tilden, and
Seymour and O'Connor. These men re-
ceived generous support for many of
the inland Democratic newspapers,
but none, to speak of, from the demo-
cratic papers of New York city. Here,
then, is the first real Democratic victory
in twelve years-a victory Of Democrats
over corrupt organizations, and revi.
val of that wonderful personal energy
and enthusiasm, which three times
bore Henry Clay to the dust, and, as
led by Van Buren, opened the way for
staying of slavery. While the Repub-
lican leaders of New York were often
sulky and selfish, these better Demo-
Gratis, with everything to lose, stood to-
gether like q wall. The great docu-
ments of the campaign were theirs. be-
ginning with the Transcripts of Tamnany
frauds furnished to the New York Times
by James O'Brian, followed up by the
speeches of r. B. Roosevelt, Haven
eyor, Ottendorfe, James Brown, and
Barrett, and concluded by the papers of
O'Connor, Tilden. and others. 1t must
not be forgotten, either, that these men
pre- pared the Rochester platform of the
Democratic party in the State, wherein
all the to amendments the Federal Con-
stitution were unqualifedly concurred
in. This, I say, is the first Democratic
victory since the nomination of Douglas
by the Northern Democracy at Baltimore
when they threw off the insolent domi-
nation of the Southerners; it is now a
victory within the party over the despo-
tism of the Northern Irish, What q
line Of such mortal victories may not be
seen for these gentlemen in the future,
if they possess the heroism to proceed
and tone their own organization up
to the period and their own better
convictions! The Democratic party
needs, first of all, the confidence of the
country before it can achieve any relia7
BILE series of victories at the polls. II
cannot win any sequence of races till it
is rebuilt or remodelled. 1t is now
like an old Spanish galleon, manned
with determined idiots, and racing
with the yacht Anerica.
