Offices held back their surplus funds, III
stead of sending them to this city, from
fear that the orders next day would ex-
haust their funds, the receipts not being
equal to the emergency. At times, there
fore, the New York post office had a very
small balance, but all demands had al.
ways been met. The confidence created
by this promptness and safety Of ex-
change through the post Office, under cir.
cumstances the most adverse, has caused
great interest in the proposition OF post
master-gcneral Creswell for postal saw
Jugs bank. Gen. Harrison visited Canada
last month to examine the workings OF
the similar institution in the Dominion,
which is modelled after the English sys,,
TEN. The postmasters at Montreal and
Toronto, who are virtually assistant post
master-2enera assured him that during
long series of years the system had
proved highly satisfactory. The plan Of
the postmaster general is for Congress to
establish a national savings Institution,
of which all first and second class money
order Offices shall be branches. In these
Offices money can be deposited in sums
of$5 and upwards, the depositors having
the amount regularly recorded in bank
books, and the government paying stlp-
ulated rate of interest-four per cent. for
instance the use of the money. This
money will be transmitted to the nearest
assistant treasurer for deposit, to be used
by the treasury department in the pay
ment of the public debt and current ex-
penses. In this way the poor man like
the bondholder, can become creditor OF
the government. The immense amount
O. money now boarded in the country by
persons who are afraid to deposit in saw
ings bank, but would trust the govern
meut, would then, it is said, be put into
circulation; and it is also suggested that
the treasury would, like certain savings
banks, eventually accumulate a large re-
serve fund from unclaimed deposits. The
chief advantages which would accrue to
the government from the plan, as urged
by it's promoters, would be the circulation
OF money now idle, and the. retention in
this country Of money which would
otherwise be sent abroad. The bonds
now held largely IN Europe, on which the
government is paying six and seven per
cent interest, would under this plan be
called in as soon as legally possible The
cost ofmaintaining the system, with the
necessary increase of clerks and other
extra expenses, is estimated at three
fourths OF one per cent. on the deposits,
the present cost of the money order sys-
TEN being about nine-sixteenths Of ore
per cent.

The panic has not, as many might
suppose, completely paralyzed the
great railroad projects. 1t is reported
upon good authority that Col. Tom
Scott has just succeeded in negotiating
S45, ,OOO, 900 of the bonds Of the Texas
Pacific railroad, which will also be
great help to the country in having SO
large a sum used in the constructing
of railroad. The web of important
roads now projected, and in progress
of construction, are the veins through
which the life of commerce courses; to
Port Royal their completion is of the
greatest Importance, as no harbor OF
the continent offers equal facilities for
receiving the vast amount of products
that will sustain them.

1t is generally conceded that the
banking institutions of the country are
gaining in strength, but the prospect
of sesuming cash payments is remote.
Many members of congress have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the pas.
sage of law authorizing the issue of
convertible, long time bonds, at low
rate of interest, which may be deposit
ed with the treasury as collateral for
currency. Western members particu-
larly, are anxious that such measures
be adopted.

Gen. La Rue Harrison, special agent
of the money order department OF the
post Office, has been making tour OF IN
spcction throughout the west. Referring
to the effect OF the panic upon the mou-
cy order system, he said that the orders
paid iu st. Louis rose 10 the amount OF
$2l 900 in ono day during the panic, and
they now average $4,000 day, while
formerly The average was only about
$4,000. In Cincinnati $4,000 a day IS
the average, against $4,000 formerly: In
Chicago the number o; orders rose from
about 1000 day, amounting to fom
$4,000 10 $4,000, 10 1000 a day,
amounting to about $4,000. A similar
increase had taken place throughout the
rest of the country.
With respect to the projected post-of-
flee savings bank, which President Grant
said that he would recommend in his
next annual message, Gen. Harrison said

On wednesday, the 10th inst, q party Of from
fifteen to twenty armed men paraded Lake City
from midnight until about o'clock the follow
ing morning, firing Volleys, into the houses ofa
number OF recently elected officials. They first
attacked the house of George G. Keans, Sheriff
Ofthe county, and poured q volley through one
of the windows. They then attacked the houses
of the County Clerk, X. s. W aldron: Tax Col.
lector. WV. Moore, and Judge z. A. Holt,
returning several times 10 the different house
and each time pouring a volley through one Of
the windows. The occupants fortunately escaped
without injury, though many had narrow escapes
from the bullets Ofthe attacking parties.
No attempt was made at the time to arrest the
rioters, but one the morning ofthe 9Th, w. E.
Bush, late sheriff Of the county, was arrested
on a warrant Of United States Commissioner
J. Z. Townsend, on the charge Of being one ol
the ringlcaders Of the riot. Other arrests have
been made by the United States authorities
who claim Jurisdiction on the ground that tn,

the whole blame Of the matter on a smal

BRIEF SKETCH OF RELAxD's PATRON.

"One Of the few immortal names that were
not born TO die is unques:ionably OF that st. |
Patrick's. Irish affection, Irish fervor and
Irish veneratiOn cling TO il; and to-day there
will hardly be an Irish voice in all this vide
world but will utter 1t exultngly and with the
coupled expression of love for the dear old
native land, the land Of the shamrock, the gem
Of the sea.
st. Patrick was not of Irish origin as many
imagine. According to tradition and historic
records, and as he says in his own confession
he was born in 4 village called Bonavin
TibernIa at the mouth of the river Cluyde, in
Scotland. He calls himself both Briton and
Roman, and came of most respectable parents
in about the year 400. He was always Chris.
tiaD.
In his sixteenth year he was carried inlo
captively by certain barbarians together with
many ofhis fathers vassals and slaves upon the
estate and it was with them that he first went
to ireland. He was ordained deacon, priest
and Bishop for the Irish mission, and entering
upon his work, he devoted himself to it with
an enthusiasm that knew no curbing. Every
portion of the Island was visited by him; and
