The frequency Of defalcations Of bank
officers is a topic which excites great
deal Of attention, but not more than it
should. An exchange in noticing the late
defalcation in the Atlantic Bank of New
York says: Blanks, more than all other
institutions, should avoid the shadow of
suspicion. There ought to be no POSSIBLE
eity Of any considerable defalcation. De-
positors are completely at the mercy OF
!, the bank in which they deposit, and it is
greatly to the credit of such institutions
that defalcations and loss are rare. II
this last catastrophe incites TO greater Wig
lance so much the better. If it operate
to check the wild spirit of speculation,
bette still. But the first duty of all bank
ing institutions lies in rendering such as
founding robbery absolutely impossible by
any OF their officers

Liver complaint and dyspepsia arethe causes of

tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade feeling
sometimes very restless, and at other times drow-

at very low rates, and low prices also marked
the sales of shawls and kid gloves. In view
of the financial situation, orders have gone
out largely to Europe to stop the import CT
costly dry goods and other luxuries. On the
other hand, there will be great export de-
mand for American breadstuffs, and our next
cotton crop promises to be large enough to
supply the whole world.

CAPTAIN Jack In Suspense.

Attorney General. WILLIAMs's absurd
opinion as to the right of the Government
to subject Captain JACK to trial by court
martial has called down upon him the almost
universal censure of the press. That u long
headed lawyer could SO far deceive himself
as to imagine that lie was laying down the
law when he was only iustifying u foregone
rure. Here were Indians living within the
territory of the United States, and as truly
subject to the jurisdiction Of the Govern
ment as are the Chinese in California or the
negroes in Virginia, which Indians Mr..
WILLIAMS separates from the body-politic,
and speaks of as if they were part of diff
ferent nation. He has performed the feat
which Tennesseeau is said to have
performed when a boy. Having offended
his father, the boy climbed up to the top of
tree, and when the old man cut down the
tree he found that the boy had sawed of
the limb to which he chung, and had re-
NAMED suspended in the air. This is en-
actly what Mr.. WILLIAMS has done for the
ModocS. They were in our national tree.
They chung to their own limb, it is true, yet
they were just as truly part of our people
Us the limb that held the boy was of the
tree. Mr. WILLIAMS has sawed of the limb,
and left them suspended in the air. They
are neither in this country nor any other.
They are in mid-air. They are certainly not
an independent nation. They certainly re-
side inside Of our country. They certainly
do not belong to any other country. Yet
