why the American BankeTs In Paris Failed.
The failure Of Bowles Bros. h Co. has been
announced. Il was known that they con-
Quoted their business In loose manner. An
Instance was In the freedom with which they
Issued letters Of credit TO all respectfully con-
nected Americans travelling In Europe. An
American might cali at their Offices In Lon
don, Paris, and Geneva, and receive letter
Of credit 10 q dozen European banks, author
ing him to draw on them at sight for any
amount under 1900 or $4,000. In nine
cases out Of ten Bowles Bros. n Co. demanded
no security Of the recipient Of the letter Of
credit r
All that was required Of him was that when
he drew upon BOwles Bros. In any part Of
Europe he should give to their correspondent
who Icashed the draft a check upon any
banker In the United States where the drawer
claimed TO have credit. MessrE. BOwles con-
tinued this system Of business for years, and
remarkable a. II may seem, u was claimed
for long time that they met with no cOnsiG
cradle losses. While this was doubtless very
nattering 10 the national pride of Americans
travelling In Europe, II was q risk that no
prudent banker would take, and Il seems this
was finally one Of the nlnin cAnses Of their
failure. Last week the Bowlcs Bros. applied
to Drexel Morgan & Co. 10 make some ar
rangennnt fUr projecting lettors ofcredlt then
in their hands Of travellers on the continent.
But DreNel, Morgan 4 Co, declined 10 as
sumo any such responsibility without security,
which the BOwleses were unable TO give, and
the negotiations failed. The New York agent
OF the BOwles brothers says that every au-
tumn they haye experienced pressure for
money when Americans began 10 come home
after their summer tours. This fall they have
failed to collect on large amount Of drafts
drawn without authority by tourists and, as
the actual capital Of the BOwleses was sman
compared to extent and risks of their buai-
ness, they failed. Tho event has more imam
ciAl interest In view Of the insecurity Of doing
business upon honor" than II has In connec-
ton with the loss to the public, which will
not exceed S5OO,OOO, and may possibly be
much less.

FOR GOVERNOR

The Tennessee correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial says that the strife in the Gree
ley ranks over the johnson Cheatham Congress
nanship has reached a point that threatens the
loss of the state to Greeley. In many localities
the friendsO of Chatham will give three votes for
Grant to get one for their favorite, and John
sons friends being equally bitter and earnest
will do as well. The blunder made by the rad
icals in nominating full state ticket viii, how
ever, aid the Greeley party.

The Maine election taxes place to-day. The
canvass has been one OF the sharpest In the his
tory OF Maine politics, and doubtless full vote
viii be brought out. That on the part of the
republicans, under the management of Speaker
Blaine, has been characterized by great en-
ergy, and q completeness that has covered every
town, school district, village and hamlet through
out the state. The liberal canvass has not been
SO thorough, but has been quite spirited in the
leading cities ard villages, where they have
hoped to make their principal gains. They
rely, for instance, upon making gains for Kim
ball against Perham, in the gubernatorial con-
test. i'm cities like Portland, Augusta and Ban
gor, where The stringent liquor laws work to the
Prejudice of Perham. In the seaboard cities
they also hope TO make some gains on account
Of the depression of the shipping interests. 1t
Is probable. therefore, that whatever gains they
may make OF Importance will be the first news
brought over the wires, as they will be made at
points first heard from. The hope of the liberals
Is TO reduce the republican majority to six or
eight thousand, and to elect two members of
Congrtss. The republicans expect to carry the
state by not less than twelve thousand majority,
and to elect the full congressional ticket Their
expectation seems to be founded on good data
The Candidates of the two parties are as fol-
lows, those marked thus ~ being the present
incumbents

SYNOPSIS FOR PAST TwKNTY-YoUR HOURS
The barometer has continued highest over the
southern states with clear weather, except over
Florida, where areas of cloud and rain have
prevailed. Clear weather has continued from
Massachusetts to Virginia and southern Indiana,
north OF the latter region cloudy weather and
rain. The temperature has fallen somewhat
from lower Michigan eastward to the northern
portion Of New England. A disturbance of
some character exists south of Florida.
PROBABILITIES. - S0utherly to westerly
winds and clear weather for the southern states
except from Florida to southern Louisiana,
where easterly to northerly winds, cloudy
weather and areas of rain are probable. East
erly to southerly winds for the middle states with
clear weather, except over the lower lake region.
Eakterly to southerly winds during the alter
noon and night for New England and north and
west Of the Ohio valley. Cloudy weather and
areas Of rain will probably continue from Mis-
souri, to Michigan and Wisconsin, but the morn
ing telegraphic reports from western Missouri to
upper Michigan are still missing. The reports
indicate disturbance of some character south
Of Florida.
