TIRE NATIONAL AND Sd ZINC
BANKS
AU G u II "A.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, Sept "a. 1878.

The firm standing which the National
and Savings banks maintained during the
panic in New York is matter to he CRATE
fully remembered. Only one national
bank suspended payment, and no savings
bank refused to pay the demands of its
depositors. Had the panic reached and
linked them with the fate OF the brokers,
spectators and gamblers crushed by the
disaster, there would have been IL more
direful story to tell than we now have.
Then it would have widened the field of
disaster, multiplied the victims by thou
sands, and made honest laborers suffer
severely where now only gamblers in
stocks, gold and bonds are reaping the
fruits of their foolhardy ventures.
The measures adopted by the officers Of
the national banks for mutual protection
were salutary. They created confidence
on the part of depositors, strengthened
each individual bank and enabled them to
render aid to break the force of the storm
The action oft the government as discreet
While Secretary Richardson stood as firm
as rock against the pressure made upon
him to loan the money of the government
to prevent spectators from sinking. his
offer to purchase all government bonds
offered for sale was an assurance that did
much to prevent the increase of the panic
as well as to furnish actual relief bv the
supply of currency. Only one run OF any
consequence was made upon any national
bank, the Fourth, and that paid every de-
positor who demanded his money, so that
by noon of Saturday the run was over and
the bank pronounced safe. In such a
scare as swept the city in those two mem
orable days it is quite remarkable that the
national banks maintained so good rec
ord as they did.
The position OF the Savings banks was
also so well maintained that not an instance
OF failure is found amongst them. All
paid their depositors when asked, and in
many of them the deposits increased
rather than fell off during the panic. or
those who thronged their doors more came
with deposits to be left than with checks
to be eashed. On Saturday night they re-
ported business going on SIS usual, with
little excitement existing among custom
ers' and no signs of trouble impending.
Inc ABILITY to convert their government
ponds, OF which they doubtless had CON
siderable amounts, was "a strengthening

Connecticut wore all its charms, the river
winding its serpentine course through fertile
fields and broad green interyales. The noun.
tain peaks rising here and there, on every
hand, added variety and grandeur to the
scene. The roads were admirable. Several
small villages are scattered along the route
such as North Strattord, Stratford Hollow
and Groveton. At Stratford Hollow, there
is a delightful view of the viilage-which is
situated, the river, and the sur
landscape. A few miles further on,
we took our picnic dinner at the foot of a
high hill, and then climbed the hill, from
which the prospect was very extensive, and
richly repaid us for our toll. The mountains

situation is hopeful. Confidence in the
banks is stronger for the trial to which
they have been exposed. The lesson to
them of the danger in dealing in shaky
railroad and other bonds, will be safe
guard to some of tn em in the future.
There are instances where banking in
situations have been tempted by the pros
pect of large interest to invest in hazard
Gus ventures, but this is warning that
they will heed. They have no right TO
engage in such enterprises, hazardng the
property of their customers and the wei
fare OF communities, and betravng the
trust placed in them. The legitimate lire
OF business is the path OF safety. That the
panic has been able to topple over no
more OF them. leaving them standing with
scarcely mark of its violence upon them
speaks well for them. Let our country
banks now lend firmcr hand to the sup
port OF local enterprises. IN Whlch every
dollar in their vaults is needed and may
be prolitably used. and while keeping
their own foundations more secure than

Will build up their own people and States
The lesson also comes home To individu
ais. Western bonds have drained the
East of money long enough. The cheek
now coming will have a favorable inliu
ence. Instead of being lenders to the
West we need more capital in Maine than
we can command to push enterprises at

Fernando Woods exhibition OF virtue the
other day, when he proposed to purify our
politics by impeaching Mr.. Colfax, has filled
the latter-day saints" with ecstacy. They
look upon it as all but positive proof that the
millennium is at hand, and that forgery, and
robbery, and fraud are to be known no more
forever. This proposition they look upon as
Fernando's declaration that forged invoices,
ballot-box stufiing, swinding the Govern
ment by false returns of income, renting,
and corruptly compelling the city to pay ten
times its value for property rented, and
other transactions of the kind, are vulgar sort
of vices which ought to be left to those little
scamps whose necessities demand such prac-
tees. But we are doubtful whether it would
not have looked better for Fernando TO as
sign the duty he took upon himself to some
one who has been playing the role Of the re-
formed defender longer than he has. "The
livery of heaven" don't set gracefully on his
limbs, even though not stolen. We think
Mr.. Colfax has made mistake in this Credit
Mobilier business. But we do not believe he
has committed any offense worthy of public
condemnation, much less Of Impeachment.
Even if every charge made against him by his
canting, hypocritical enemies were true, the
public interest has not suffered by it, no man
has been wronged, and his official conduct has
not been influenced by it. If he had been
guilty Of forgery, or election frauds, or such
corrupt practices as enriched his volunteer
prosecutor, there would be some ground for
even Democrats rebuking him. But compared
with most Of them-his noisiest assailants, at
any rate-he will stand before the country
and in the history Of the times, as much their
superior in every moral quality as he does
in patriotism. Let those without offense ar
raign Mr.. Colfax, not men whose hands are
wreaking with public plumber, and whose
tongues constantly give forth lies and rail-
mos
