course Of our lives, saw our people
so fighting mad AS they are now
the cause of their rufIied temper be-
ing the infamous assessment hurled
upou them by the late shacknasty
legislature. They are mad by pla-
toons and companies, by regiments
and divisions. In fact, the whole
army of oppressed Taxpayers are
freely expressing themselves as will
ing 70 resist the nefarious law TO the
bitter end Neither is il confined
10 the Democrats nor the repnbh-

IL alike, and are crying out in one
common voice, Down with the con-

forth the iniquityp We are likely
to have some fun before the taxes
are gathered, TO say the least Of It."

LOSSES by THE FAILURE.

A Washington dispatch says tho
most prominent depositor in tho First
National Bank of that city, next to
President Grant, was Andrew johnson.
In the First National he has always
kept his accounts since ho was made
President, and it will DO remembered
that while General Butler was making
an investigation rs to the causes which
prevented tho impeachment of Mr..
johnson, tho fater's bank account was
pricd into, and it was found that his
worldly wealth did not exceed $40, 200.
At the time of tho failure of tho bank
Mr.. Johnson had $50, 900 to his credit,
on which he was receiving six per cent
interest, which was his only revenue.
tho bank be unable to discharge
its obligations-n contingency by no
means improbablc--cx-Pr President John
son will be almost pcnniless.
Another case that will excite sympa-
thy is that of Mrs. John q. Wilson,
whose husband, n member of Congress
elect from Oregon, recently died. Mr..
Wilson had $1,000 on deposit in the
bank when he died, and arrangements
were making by Judge Williams and
Senator Kelly to obtain the money for
the widow, who is wholly without
means, and is now teaching school to
support her family.

THE BANKS AND THE MARKET,

On Thursday our commercial and
financial circles were literally "takcn
by surprise" at the resolution adopted
by the Clearing House banks, at
meeting at $3.50 a. NJ, the purport of
which is shown by tho official an
nounccmcnt to the public which we
give elsewhere. While we say "taken
by surprise" we do not mean to inti-
mate that the measure was not proper
and necessary, and might not have
been forcsccn by close observers of the
movement in other cities. The course
OF the New York banks for Il week pre-
Vious had stimulated transmission of
currency to that money center from all
parts OF the country and especially
from New Orleans, which was Tempo
rariiy Il debtor city, as shown by the
prcmium on New York exchange pro-
Vious TO and at the time of the New
York crisis. The consequence was that,
while the movement in foreign ex-
change was suspended and the offerings
Of domestic were consequently light,
the former being the basis of 4 large
part of the latter, the proceeds of paper
sent by the banks of other cities to our
bankS and bankers for collection were
called for IN currency. The table of an
agent for Il Northern banking house
was piled up with currency for trans
mission To Now York. In addition to
this heavy drain, Western merchants
ordered the proceeds of cOnsignmcnts
to be rcmitted to them in currency.
New Orleans was thus ricii,uizch for
the benefit of the North and West, cs-
pccialIy Of New York, and while our
banks were never in Il 3Ounlcr condi-
ton, and had seldom, or perhaps never
held, 50 little paper that was not un-
puc9tioHably good, they were compelled
to discontinue payments in currency
and resort instead to certified checks.
We say diScoHtia"c1, for although lite
rally speaking, suspended may bc the
proper word, "susfcnsiou" is popularity
understood to- imply II situation which
docs not exist in our city. No bank
has closed its doors no bank fails TO
respond ut the Clearing House to all its
obligations; none refuses to certify
checks and charge the amount to the
dcpositor; nor do they refuse to receive
such checks on deposit and in payment

OUR CURRENCY SYSTEM.

There is a strong party in this country
who believe that our financial system,
based, as it is, on nothing but the Gov
ernnlent's suspended paper, is a safe and
salutary one. The events which arc
now happening from day to day ought
to tntlcceivc such people. Experience
teaches but ono lesson on this question
of the currency--tliat no money consis-
| ting of paper not convertible on de-
mand into the actual quantities of gold
| or silver represented on its face can be
safe or permanent. Franco rcapcd Il
| speedy harvest of ruin from her assig-
mats. England suffered, perhaps, greater
severity of punishment for attempting
the same experiment that Wc are try
ling-undcrtaking to make irrcdccma-
bic paper II permanent standard of
value. Her experience extended over
forty years, and not until tho great
panics which eliminated in 1887 was
the old paper system fully uprootcd.-
Raging with the fever of speculation,
Frustrated by tho inevitable reaction,
from the close Of the great wars with
Napoleon in 1915 to the grand downfall
of 1887 she led the life of Il gambler. Is
our history to furnish n simple rcpeti-
ton of England's blunders i? Are we
to learn nothing from tho experience of
our own fathers and grandfnthers and
of every civilized nation that has tried
and failed in the same experiment
Our currency is deprecated. The
premium on gold, the increased cost of
| living, and the complete Withdrawal of
| coin from circulation, afford sufficient
! proof of that. It is deprecated because
too much has been issued. To add to
| the volume will only depreciate it the
| more. When greenbacks were made 4
| legal tender and prices began to rise,
| the debtors of the country found that
| their debts could be settled for much
less value than they originally received
| from the creditor. Spcculations were
thus encouraged and an era of reckless
borrowing was inauSuratcd. The furor
of gambling spread on every side. The
morals of thousands of mon in business
became contaminated. We sowcd the
wind and VIC now reap the whirIwind.
The lnsidious disease which for more
than ten years has been poisoning the
blood of tho nation now shows its hor-
rid work to the light Of day and the
eyes of tho world. Faithlcssncss to
their trusts in officers of tho Govern
mcnt, from the highest to the lowest,
and in custodians of private funds
rapacity and unscrupulousness of cor
poratiOnS; cOWardicc and vcnaIity of
those who should be the guardians of
the honest and simplc--thcsc have at
last worked out their inevitable result.
Tho Indignation of the public is reused.
The confidence of the public is gonc.-

cnce to and in defiance of the will of the
people as expressed by the ballot, to
pull down one State Government and
set up another in its stead.
Should Congress repudiate such rep
rehensible practices, we merely will
obtain our rights; on the other hand,
should Congress permit such practices
to go unrebuked, we will then know
our status-know that despotism has
usurped tho place Of constitutional gov
ernment, and the quicker we know it
the better.
Let the people of this State take an
active part i'll their own cause, which
is the cause of every State in the Union,
and you may then rest assured that all
will yet be we'll.

C0NDOLING BY ELECTRICITY.

From the Scientific American we cot
the following:
On the recent occasion of tho tienti,
OF Mr.. Q. L. Goodwin, superintendent
OF the Northern New York division of
the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Co.,
the various operators Of tho division
united In a meeting of coincidence I'm
the following remarkable manner: All
the stations included in that division
were connected into one circuit, extend
ing from New York to Albany, thence
vt0 Troy to Saratoga and return to
Albany, westward to Syracuse, and via
OsWego, Clyde and Rochester to Buffalo
and Niagara Falls, back from Buffalo
vfa Auburn, Seneca Falls, etc, to Au-
burn again, being over 700 miles of
wire. Each person remained in his
own office and all tho instruments were
so connected that tho remarks made by
ono operator upon his instrument were
sent through all tho other Instruments.
Promptly ut Y. NJ. New York called
tho meeting to order. Buffalo moved
that Mr.. Hauff, chief operator ut Now
York, be made permanent chairman,
Tho motion was seconded by Troy, and
carried. The chairman then suggested
that Mr.. Mccoy, manager of the Buffalo
Office, be nominated as secretary,wh
the meeting unanimously resolved in
tho Affirmative. Various speeches were
made and the resolutions were then
read and adopted, and an adjournment
then followed. The meeting was en-
tircly harmonious throughout, and tho
state OF tho weather and condition OF
tho wires peculiarly favorable to Its
success.

counters. Nor has the measure adopted
by the banks carried any gloom or dis
satisfaction among our commercial
classes, although it has been attended
with some Inconvenience to parties
who had wages to pay and other calls
upon them for small notes. On We'd
nesday tho continued decentralization of
the New York money market arrested
she movement in exchange, and almost
suspended that OF our cotton market,
put on Thursday, after the action of the
banks was known, buyers came forward
bales tor Havre and the North. at the
decline indicated by the limited busi-
ness OF tho day previous. This liberal
business increased the cheerful feeling
caused by the bank measure, and fully
vindicated the Judgment as well as the
motive of tho bank presidents in their
united action. Yesterday 1t was fol-

THE TIES OF LANGUAGE.

John Forsyth relates the following:
The Closeaie tles Lilss, in the Latin
quarter of this city, is one Of the we'll
known resorts of the delni-monde, and
like the Aku6ille, although q very i'm
straight-laced foreigners. The Prince
Of Wales took his wife to the Ma6iNe
the last time he was in Paris; yet a
Parisian dame would be sadly compro-
missed to be seen there. It Is Mt the
Ctoserie that the students congregate
for their wild dances with their grisette
mates, and it Is here that the ca,aca,s is
performed with all the abandon of
youthful eXuberance. At tho 1labille
there are now only hired dancers. The
men are particularly vulgar and dis
gusting in their movements, and if the
women would only omit the heastouutling
kick with which they seek to displace
the mems hats, there would be nothing
left to complain Of in the performance
except a pretty fair display of ankles.
But did not set out to describe these
scenes of saltatory orgies, SO familiar to
everybody, but to recite an incident
that occurred not long ago at Que of the
students balls at the Closerie. Three
French -gonsnseamc-who pass
their lives in airing their fine clothes
and sauntering on the Boulevartls, were
Walking abreast with locked arms and
cigars in mouth along one of the walks
of the Closerie. Tho path was hardly
wide enough for them. They cncoun-
tered cocotte, who was evidently Il
little tho pluckier for her wine supper,
and determined to claim from the gal
lantry of the young mon her share of
the way. She pushed boldly against
the outside man, and he doubled his
fist and knocked her against II section
of painted scenery. a young English
man was sauntering just behind tho
young bucks and witnessed the trans
action. t"Thc - coward" he was
heard to cxclaim, "I don't caro- who
tic woman is, I WON'T stand that" and
suiting the action to the word he sent
his left arm straight from the shoulder
and tho Frcnchman measured his
length on the walk. a row was clearly
on hand, and the three Frenchmen
turned Immediately on the Britisher.
Before they could close, two other men
appeared upon the scenc-two long,
legged, doublc-jointed and strapping
fellows, whose gangling gait denoted
their origin. One said to the other,
"Ihe fellow speaks English-lct's go
ln," and in twinkling tho two West
ern Americans stood on each side tho
Englishman, with their hands fumbling
about their Wristbands, suspicious Of
six shooters. Meanwhile, tho police
came up, eXtinguished the gas, and
stopped the row. The last seen OF the
party, the Englishman and his two
now friends were walking Off arn-in-
arm, and doubtless wound up the night
with a celebration of the influence of
the ties of blood and language. Now 1
like better the moral of this story, than
the thought of the Englisll-American
daughter joining other nationuiities to
push the venerable mother-land over
the crown of the hill she has so gallant
~ mounted in the march of ages. Blood
will tell. J.r.
