confession of the murder of two girls,
Mary Hennesby and Catherine Gimler,

June, 1870, along the banks of White

most intense excitement at the time,
but was surrounded by an apparently
impenetrable mystery, and no possible
clue could be found as to the guilty par

We say osteusibly because the bank seems
to have been the intermediary, Ivy which
Gov. COOKE contrivcd to pocket u large
commission, rather than the bona fde
purchaser. This loan was placed on the
Frankfort markedly SELIGMAN brothers,
who took il from the First National at 06i !.
So that there was commission OF "a per
cent. by this rncthod which was probably
shared between the bank and COOKE.
The District treasury only realized pro-
cecds al the rate OF Of. In their reckless

cuivcd the idea of making Il loan for the
difference between the par of 'liis four
millions and the price at which II was sold,
that is to say Il per cent, on S2iu,OW. They
ordered their Legislature to go through
the forms Of passing this mou,trOus prOpo-
sition. and il was done. And that is the
sort OF stun whi, II has been taken here in
New York 10y one or more of the banks.
While our merchants, manufacturers,
aud men Of business are suffering from
the want of lankiug facilities, there are
banks willing to take risks like this, and
to loan out the money of conhdiug dcpus-
itois to pluudoling Ring on desperate
venture because II offers the POS ibility at
u.uriuus profits. Ii l. Just this sort of wild
speculation that has brought about the
present condition of things, aud hll,d
many vaults with PROMISE to pay which
are worth no more than the prloe of Oid

banks as their reserve, and thus not even
this little trouble would be experienced.
The issue Of such bonds, in whatever form
and at whatever rate of interest, is
therefore an issue of just so much more
paper money i'll addition to that alI cady
in existence.
As to the persons who are clamoring for
the adoption OF this scheme, they are for
the most part needy speculatOrs, who own
land, or stocks, or merchandise, which
they have not paid for, and which they
want to sell at high prices so as to make II
profit. If they can succeed in diluting the
currency 50 that what is now worth one
dollar Will he worth two dollars, they Will
be able to pay their debts with just one
half what they will have TO pay if the cur
rcucy remains ~ il Is; and then their
creditors will get just ono half what they
are now entitled to.
