A HIBERNIAN BANK INCIDENT.

The news of the suspension of the
banks Of the city, published in the pa
pers yesterday morning. created in
tense excitement in Kerry Patch. The
thrifty population of that classic pre-
cinct are in the habit Of depositiHg
their meager earnings in the savings
bank, and ANYTHING that casts shad-
ow upon those useful institutions
throws q gloom over the patch. The
first duty performed yesterday in
Kerry, after feeding the pigs ana milk
ing the goat, was to go down town
and look after the deposits in bank.
One determined woman took her sta
ton In front Of the Hibernian bank,
and patiently waited on the sidewalk
for the bank to open. Then she enter
ed with Q firm step, and addressing
Young Tansey, said In voice OF thun-
der:
"ls this bank suspinded 2"
"Yes, madame, but only temporar-

"Well. madame you needn't talk so

"Have you got it2"
"Yos. I've got il. Hand ont your

"Are you sure you've got my 5000

"What do | want it ?" didn't put it

loud harrangue on banks and bankers

One of the directors finding that tn.
woman could not be silenced, callct

At this moment the president of thu

of the disturbance, ordered the woman

that ?"
1t was in vain that the depositor
was urged to draw her money. She
would neither take it nor remain silent.
After standing an hour or two longer,
and talking all the time at furious
rate, she remembered that her children
had not had their breakfast, and with
many protestation against the at
tempt to force poor woman to draw
her money, she wended her way back
to Kerry Patch, and informed all the
neighbors that the Hibernian bank

JACKSONVILLE. Or. Oct.

JACKSONVILLE, Or, Oct. 3.
The following is a report of the ex-
ecution of Captain Jack and his band:
Boston Charley and Black Jim were
led on the scafiold first, and Scholchin
next; they trod on it with apparent in-
difference and iron nerve, having evil

have lived.
Jack went easily up the stairway
but looked wretched and misers Bile.
The manacles had been struck off, but
their arms were secured and pinioued

reading occupied ten minutes, then ths
Adjutant read the order of comml,-
tation in the case of Barncho and Sio-
lux, and the poor fellows were taken
back to the stockade, evidently happy
at not accompanying the Others TO the
happy hunting grounds.
At 10 :l5 the fatal noOses were pla-
ced around their necks under the di-
rection OF Capt. Hoge. 1t was ntces-
sary to cut off a little of Jacks long
hair, which was in the way of the
rope. Capt. Hoge then bid farewell
to the prisoners, and the black caps
were drawn over the heads of all the
culprits. 1t must have been an awful
moment for them. AT 10 20 they stood
on the drop the rope was cut by the
assistant at a signal made with Caut.

peatedly drew up their legs, but the
two others seemed to die almost iu-
stantly. At l0:2S their pulses were
felt by Capt. Hoge, and as l write they

As the drop fell with terrible deadly
thud, four poor wretched human be-

A gentleman whose enthusiasm for
the American Centennial is evidently
boundless, has written to high gov
ernment official to suggest that at pre-
cisely twelve O'Clock, NJ, Washington
time, of the Fourth of July, 1876, all
the guns, bells, steam whistles, trump
cts, drums, organs, and other musical
instruments in the country, with tho
millions of human voices, "burst forth
into sounds of joy and praise" lie
would have an electric signal from the
nations capital flashed through all the
telegraph wires in the country to every
city, town and hamlet, and by the
ceble to Europe, Asia and Atrica-and
we suppose New Jersey--and from
the Western wilds to the isles of the
far of Orient. This gigantic racket
should "bid the slambering millions
Of heathendom awake and join the
happy nations in singing that sublime
invocation to praise, Praise God from
whom all blessings flow.'" Now this
scheme is magnifcently patriotic but
it is also bewilderilgly big +; it will be
well to consider the consequence. The
combined yell of forty million pair of
lungs-we set ii low, because some
seditious persons probably wouldn't
yell-with the proposed instrumental
accompaniment, would produce a
noise not to be particularly sneezed at,
and it might "bust things" What it
it should rend heavens concave, fright
en- the moon from It's orbit, split the
planets, crack the SIN, or topple over
the foundation of the universe itself

Mr. Gireeley's specimens"

From the New York sun.
The interior third-story editorial
| room on Nasstla street, so long occii-
/ pied by Mr.. Greeley, had become ex-
ceedingly dingy. The furniture was
in the last stages OF diiapitiation. Va
riOns propositions TO improve it had
been vetoed by the occupant, who
feared that any attempt at change
would derange the order OF his papers
and books Of reference. But one Sat
urday when the sage was at Chappa-
uua chopping wood, the burly engin-
eer, Patrick O'Ronkc, came up with a
host of helpers, and pretty soon had
everything topsy-turvy. The carpet
| was torn up by the roots and the SUBJ
soil shoveled out from under it. Then
furniture was hustled aside, the walls
scraped and papered, the woodwork
re-painted, new carpet laid, and by
! nightfall Patrick, as he surveyed the
| wholesome change, congratulated him
| self on the wonderOns achievement he
had wrought.
Next day MIR. Greeley, coming in
fresh from the serene influence Of DIR.
Chapins sermon, was struck with
dumb wonder at the mctam0rph0sis.
Without word he slnmped down int0
his easy chair, and thrust his feet un-
| der the desk, apparently in fine
mood to do justice to bleeding Kansas
| or to castigate the rascally free traders.
Hardly had he touched his seat, when
he sprang up as though stung, and
pointing under his desk, shrieEed in
his squeakiest tones;
"What thief has stolen my speci-
| mems! W-h-e-r-e-s my specimens ?"
The people from the outer office
rushed i'll ut the row, and pretty soon
Mr. Greeley was apprized that Pat
rick O,Rouke was the leader of the
vandals who had despoiled his sane
tum.
"send him up here yelled Horace,
"send him up!''
So Patrick was summoned from
the vaults of the establishment, where
he was engaged in getting up steam
on Sunday for Mondays paper. lie
came in expecting to be compiimented
for his thorough work. Slowly wip-
ing the perspiration from his forehead
OH his bare brawny arm, he drew up
to the editor, his face wreathed il
smiling anticipation. But the sight of
Mr.. Greeley's angry countenance
warned poor Patrick that storm was
imminent.
"What is it Mr.. Greeley !"he mildly
queried.
"Pat where's my specimens p yelled
Horace, pointing 10 the vacant spot
under the table.
Specimens Mr.. Greeley? Speci-
mems y meekly responded Pat.
"Yes; the specimens l kept under
there" said Horace.
"Well, Mr.. Greeley blurted out
Pat, al don't know anything about
your specimens; but If ye name that
old type-box full of rocks ye KEEP
there, why, they only Uttered up the
place, and threw 'em into the street.
"You fool p screamed Horace, s'didn't
you know that box of specimens was
all had to,show for $4,000 worth Of
copper stocks 2" and the good man
sank historically back in his seat, to
ponder on his misfortune, while Pat,
most thoroughly humbled, hurried
out to recover what he could of the
lost treasures. He succeeded in find
ing some of them, and put them In the
cellar for safe keeping.

The New York Herald published
what purportsd to be an interview
with Prince Bismarck. The World in
giving this interview represented Bis
marck as having said that he was op-
posed to all religion, and would blot
out christianity from the world. This
has been republished considerably by
the press especially of the democratic
persuasion. We think very little cred
it has been given to it throughout the
country. We suppose we understand
why this SANDER was put forth indeed
the animus Of this thing is easily di-
vined. Finally by letter Prince Bis
marck was notified that this slander
was being circulated in this country
and by letter makes the following re.
ply:
"DR. BENpEN-I received Your com.
munication with thanks. So many
falsehoods are told on my account tha,
l am not astonished at this barefaced
invention. l do not know If there are
people stupid enough to believe such
things; but one thing is certain--l
never had soith any one a conversation
Of an import similar to that to which
you refer. There can consequently
not even be- q misunderstanding alleged
as a pretext for that falsehood (Luge-
hey. But it strikes me that the phras,
"to crush Rome in order to crush
Christianity" very plainly shows tn.
source and purpose Of that calumny
That my CONNECTIONS and my belie
are the opposite Of tchat that fable put
in my mouth no man in German,
doubts, and also in America peopl,
will say that If one were so God .forsa

THE SITUATION,

The Chicago Inter Ocean of the End
inst. has the following briet editorial
of the financial signs Of the times,
which we publish:
"The improvement in the financial
situation yesterday was quite marked.
In New York the demand for curren.
cy from the country banks fell of.
Previous orders for greenbacks were,
in some instances, countermanded, and
in other cases currency was expressed
from the country to the city. Ster.
ling exchange was active, and ad-
vanced to l071S for sixty-day drafts
and $1.OSA for sight. Gold declined
to ll0A. Stocks declined trifle, ow.
ing to desire to realize, but the de.
cline was not ATTENDED with any ex-
citement. Only one suspension was
reported, and that was of temporary
character.
In Chicago the recovery from the
secondary panic, caused by the sus-
pension of the Union National Bank,
was complete. The banks were further
strengthened by additional receipts OF
currency, and the general tone OF the
money market was considerably i'm.
proved. On Change prices of grain
advanced; the September settlements
were made without difficulty, and the
board rescinded its resolution of the
26th nlt., "suspending certain of Its
rules" re-establishing the transactions
of members in contracts and options
on the old footing.

A correspondent of the Inter Ocean

A correspondent of the inter- Ocean
in speaking of Governor Carpenters
speech at McGregor, says:
mo candid man can listen to the
Governors honest history of the Ran
kin affair without being convinced that
he acted In straig and hon.
est manner. Many of the Democratic
and Liberal grangers have declared
their intention of voting for Governor
Carpenter, and his majority will be as
large as any candidate for Governor
has ever received in this State. All
parties agree that his speech was sue.
cess. and the plan OF the Chairman of
the State Central Committee in placing
him upon the stump this fall meets
with universal appreciation. The
meeting closed with three rousing
cheers for z. G. Carpenter and the
State ticket"

THAT MEETING.

j. w. Dixon spoke at the Cour
House last night followed by Patrick
Brady, Esq.
| Mr.. Dixon made fair effort 70,
him, and finally wound up in good
hnmor with everybody but the CouR-
TER. 1t is singular he will persist IN
CHASING the senior editor OF this paper
as his vindictive and INSCRIPTIONS Ell.
emy.
Ii such be the case then are VIC de-
ceived as TO ourselves. We cannot
avoid the impression that Mr.. Dixon
has been working himself into foam
of rage against us for some two years
past. IL the gentleman wiU have it
that we are his enemy, because we op-
pose his election, and because we may
exert some influence to checkmate the
| plans he lays to win, why we see no
other way than to indulge him in this
weakness of his nature. Mr.. Dixon
was quite incorrect in many of his
statements made, such as stating that
there were no democrats in the Credit
Mobilier company, and many others.
He also particularly stole S. T. Cald-
wells thunder on the publication of
the laws, which he will probably hear
from when next he meets that GENTLE
man.
After Dixon came Brady, and then
the COURIER got scotched in the ele-
giant style of the young aldermanic
Irish orator.
The senior OF this paper was brill
liantly excoriated, and held up as a
falsifier. Many of the flights of Pat
rick were peculiarly happy and scin-
tillating bursts ofeloquence.
The Irish heart was fired in the most
toploftical style. Our explanation in
Thursday's issue of the paragraph in
Wednesday evenings COURIER, he
treated as unworthy of any credit. No
explanation, no fiat contradiction of
the offensive matter. which would
never have appeared had it not been
for an excusable combination of cir
cumstances could appease the wrath
of Mr.. Brady. He would not have
any explanation. Now we are sorry
that we have been SO unfortunate as to
put Mr.. Brady in an unappeasable pas
sion. If he can't be cured of his rage
by our plain statement, our duty is
performed, and we must let time cool
his wrath. We will only add one
thing (since his righteous indignation
knows no bounds for what accidental.
ly appeared in our paper of the priest
hood) and that is this: we haye heard,
and many of our citizens have heard,
Mr.. Brady speaking of Priests and
their acts, swear like pirate, and be.
rate them in the most unmerciful and
outlandish style, and he has been es-
pecially severe by times upon the
Priest of this city. His conduct in
this regard in public before many OF
our citizens, has been disgusting to his
listeners. He is now very indignant,
and moves at the beck of his leader
Dixon, because it suits his Political
purposes.
