Men who are guilty OF the crime
charged against firm Of New Haven
bankers, who have lately "failed," ought to
be ostracized from business circles and good
society. Having secured the confidence Of
the community and large amount of de.
posits, they engaged in stock gambling,
squaudering, it is said, not only all their
own funds, but also nearly every penny de.
posted with them--hard upon a million
dollars 10 al Worse than this, they con,
tinued to receive deposits long after they
knew they could never return them, and Oh
the very eve of their suspension actually
took the 500 which constituted a poor
colored mans whole fortune. 1t is not toe
much to say that the professional burglar
or pickpocket is better entitled to soca
consideration and business fellowship thar
the banker who is guilty of such frauds.

The sad rumor comes to US Of the MUIR
der Of Sir Samuel Baker and his wife,
while pursuing his explorations in Africa,
in which he has spent by far the greatest
portion Of his life. la 1861 he began his
explorations Of the sources Of the Nile, and
in 1864, after untold hardships and being
deserted by nearly all his attendants, OK
celt his wife, be discovered the Lake which
he named Albert N'yauza, and which proves
to be one Of the two largest reservoirs Of
the Nile Other important discoveries
have been made by him since, aud on one
Of his trips he was accompanied by DR..
Livingstone. a few years ago the khed-
i've of Egypt fitted out large military
force, placed it under Bakers command
and sent it into the interior with full dis
cretiouary power to make such acquisitions
Of territory along the Nile as he could
Mrs. Baker accompanied her husband on
this expedition, as she had upon others
and the report is that they have both beer
murdered in consequence of mutiny among
the members of their escort. The report
may prove to be unfounded like the many
reports of DR.. Liyingstones death, and il
the hope that it may, the civilized worlc
will join as long as hope is possible.

DoINGs ON THE BORDER. The Calais
Me Advertiser tells story of vigilant
customs officer of St. Stephen who learned
that certain man had brought over the
river some dry goods which he had placed
10 bed in his front chamber. The officer
at once called on the offender, who denied
the charge of smuggling, but was informed
that denial was Of no use, for positive evil
dence had been received that the goods in
question were deposited as aforesaid The
man found he was caught, and owned up
that he was over in Calais the day before,
and was married, and brought his rife orer,
and that they occupied the front chamber
The official was a mild.spoken and polite
man, and drew at once upon his whole fund
Of good manners, and all would have gone
off smoothly as mere congratulatory Wis.
it, but unfortunately the boys of the neigh
borhood got wind Of the joke while it wa.
in progress. The saucy wretches gathered
in front of the house, and when the deputy
collector made his appearance he was greet
ed with shout, which now bids fair to
echo across the continent.

After three days diminishing the re-
suit Of the Modoc war is ten dead soldiers,
nine slain Indians aud the rest OF the red
skins--ffy-fye in understanding the
mountains and plains of the Northwest,
with the cavalry in pursuit., This result is
peculiarly disheartening, when we reflect
that what was needed now, was swift aud
terrible retribution upon these Indians for
their murder of Gen. Candy. The entire
determination Of the Modocs within week
from the time Of their murders would have
been a lesson to the "nobe red man" which
he would have appreciated and understood.
The Modocs, after their escape, murdered
several settlers and will undoubtedly mark
the course Of their retreat by numerous
murders and depredations. 1t seems al
most useless to pursue them with our cav
airy, and we fear the day Of their exter.
mination is far distant. In the meanwhile
they will stir up the seeds of discomfort in
the minds of the Indians Of other tribes
and general Indian war, with all its hor-
rors, seems now to be imminent This is
not, to be sure, pleasant view Of the sub
ject, but it is one which we may as well be
prepared TO contemplate

Those Of us who are yet young men
can remember how the Hungarian patriot
BY his matchless eloquence electrified Eng
land aud America and thrilled all hearts
into sympathy for the oppressed Magyars
The Austrian government was then the sym.
Dol of ab.olutism. Kossuth still fingers in
the feeble decrcpitude Of age, but the
echoes which his voice made are ringing
yet, nor pleading in vain. Hungarian in.
dependence has not been gained but, what
is perhaps better, Hungarian liberty, with
Hungary as an integral part of the grea
Austrian empire, is making very important
advances We trust the time is not fal
distant when the full liberty Of Hungary
shall be consummated.

The past week goes into history for
the unusual panic which has occurred
among the bulls aud bears Of Wall street.
Several combinations were formed among
the heavy operators, some Of which were
prospercd aud others Of which miserably
failed but both tended to render values
Of stocks uncertain, and in the course
Of their fluctuations some Of the houses
went under, notably those Of Allen and
Barton and lie Grand Lockwood & Co.
The more gratifying outcome Of the week
is the decided relaxation in money, which
was greatly easier after the panic, and
loaned as low as or per cent in some
transactions. Gold has held its Grmncss
pretty well, however, but left Off little

The detective officers Of Washington
have recently unearthed big swndle. 1t
originated with three scoundrels, who pre-.
pared a circular, to which the name of Gen.
0. H. Babcock, Secretary of the President,
was forged, urging the parties to whom it
was addressed, mostly government officers
in the South, to forward to the address of
Rev, j. Hale Barney, ten dollars in green.
backs, for the purpose of paying the cleo.
ton expenses of the last campaign. The
circular was adroitly worded, and, it is
thought, many dupes forwarded their money
as Request ed, before the swindc was ex-
posed. Well we have but very little SYM
PATTY for them, If they knew no better
than this. 1t ought to be good ground for
turning out any officer who would respond
to circular of this kind. Civil service
ought to make short work Of both dupers
and duped in the cause Of common honesty
and decency.
