Of money. contrary to law. in order TO re-
lieve the panic; but to this appeal the Presi-
dent and Secretary turned a deaf ear fur
ther than to order the purchase of all bonds
which might be presented for sale. As the
week has passed away the pahic has gradu-
ally subsidized, and it is now known that the
result, though bad enough, will not be so
terrible as was a. first anticipated. 1t il
now certain that the National Treasury de-
partment and the credit of the Government

financial embarrassment caused by the panic,
condition wh'cl, was at first by some
feared. From the Unions kilograms we
give the following sensible and applicable
remarks on this subject, extracted from t! e
New York Journal Of Commerce:
"Only through some sharp discipline like
this can dec sive termination be put to he
periodical rage for ppwcuIation in fancy
stocks. We speak of these railway bub
bles more at length because they have been
the latest Of delusions. The banks and
banking-houses which have been TOO greed,
TO take great risks for great prospective
profits, and have snubbed merchants who
we're perfectly sound when they wanted
loans, now learn that a slower ard more
conservative policy is the best after all.
They learn that The only true dependence OF
the banks is on the cold busin ss interests
of the country. That they can not refuse
10 give proper accommodation to merchants
and extend their aid wholly 20 speculative
schemes at usurious rates without inevita-
bly, incurriug the penalty. We know moi
how seayctriwly the, present crisis will test
The soundness of or banking system, bur
we II. der,ake to say hat the banks that
suspend will be found in nearly every case
to be those whit have done The most cold
shoullerins to merchants in legitimate husi-
ness, and have dahbed extensively in rail
road and o'her preca,ious enterprise of tie
day. The banks would not be in difficult,
if their ioAns were placed among mercantile
classes, and so we come back always to th-
eterna. truth that speeula! on does not pay"

pariet,l bones we're found to be III an

Murh adhesion of the dura mater 10 the
bone of the skull WAS discovered. The
dura mater WIS much changed froIn its
normal condition. No sign of any frac-
ture of the bone was visible, nor does
our informant believe that any fracture
occurred. The primal cause of the
disease is attributed to the concu.sion
caused by the f.ll.-Necdd! Tribune.
Doctor Mooklar who performed the
autopsy above referred to, called Us into
his Office yesterday and desired us to
note the chief facts developed by this
post mo-ten. examination. giving lis the
said chief facts in these terms, viz:
Upon removing the integument cover
ing the skull he found the pericranium
covering the left parietsl bone, the uppr
part Of the temporal bone, and the inner
and upper corner of the frontal hone
entirely destroyed by suppnrative action
This iuhsmm story process had also ex-
tended to that part OF the left p:uletai
bone forming the p,rietal protuberance,
SO that the inner. outer and middle
tables of the skull appeared as one
The dura mater WIS completely licensed
in the temporal, left parietal and left
half Of the occipit;ll and extended over
into the right parietai region. and was
thickly studded with tubercles. some "i
which were SO hard as TO have the con
sist-ncy of os>iied matter. The arach-
roii membrane was congested-H literally
full of blood. Three fractures were
easily discernible-two in the lower
third of the left half OF the occiplt
bone. and one in the basilar process Of the
occipital bone. Between the arachnoid
membrane and the d.tra mater. at the
posterior lobe of the left hemisphere OF
the cerebrurn WAS found a hermdtond or
blood clot. The base of the brain gave
strong evidences of degeneration. This
is word for word DIR. Nooklnr's descrip- |
ton of the result of the said autopsy. 1t
will be observed that it corrects the
erroneous staterent made by the inf"r-
mant Of the Tribune with regard to the
condition of the enthusiastically stating
that there was fracture. and repndl-
atipc the idea that death was caused by
simple conclusion. All of which is here
