tions against Washington, or Jefferson, or
any of the earlier Presidents, would have
been met with prompt REPUTATION. Shall
il be said that the psrtisans of President
Grant are less sensitive in regard to bis
honor than were those Of the earlier
Presidents? Can the mass Of

Is charged with being party to schemes Of
the most corrupt and demoralising chsrsc-
ter, and thereby put money in his purse?
Surely the honest men Of that party will
NOT shut their eyes, through partisan feel
ing, to these grave charges. Il is remarka-
BILE that nearly every scandal with which
Grants name is connected is something by
which he is to add to his private fortune in
an Legitimate way. No other President
was ever accused of such conduct. No
other President could have survived such
charges. Without full and explicit clear
ance, these charges would have sent the
name of any other President into history
rs Synonymous with infamy. Does Grant
suppose that he can live down impartial
history, or does be, simple soul, suppose
there is no hereafter? ET

DIR ssSYRTEN,"

In a speech at Randolph, O., last week,
the Hon. Jas. A. Garfield, who ought to be
an authority on financial matters, with Re-
publicans at least, said:
"There has been a demand made in some
quarters for the President and Secretary of
the Treasury to issue an additional volume
of gree1baczs TO aid the money market in
this crisis. 1 do not believe they have any
lawful authority for such an issue. l have
no doubt that a resumption of specie pay
ments, carefully and prudently made, would
rather ease the money market than increase
its striDgency."
Since then Secretary Richardson has is
sued an additional volume of about three
mllions-done exactly the thing which Gar
field says be has no lawful authority to do.
And now comes Simon Cameron, the arch
corruptionist, to cOddle Grant into revers-
ing what Richardson has done. But Rich
ardson cannot possibly replace the Snug
gled reserves, because the greenbscks to do
it with are not in the Federal Treasury.
And this is our financial System"

q CITY WITHOUT RINGS.

Mr. fulton In Baltimore American.
The city Of Paris has costly municipal
government, which hesi.ateS at DO expense
to make the city beautiful, clean and heal
thy; but it has no Strings" to manipulate the
public fluids. 1t has something to show
for every outlay, ahd the people have the
satisfaction Of knowing that every dollar
levied on them is economically spent.
There is something tangible to show for it,
as is the case with giraffe just purchased
for five Thousand francs, to replace the one
eaten up by the Commune. Public furc-
tionaries in Paris never grow rich Off their
small salaries, and as hey are poorly paid
there is no scramble for them. Twelve
hundred francis (about S22O) is almost the
highest salary paid TO any municipal officer.
and there is such a system of checks and
balances that fraud or unfair dealing is
wholly impossible. A police officer receives
from one thousand two hundred TO one
thousand five hundred francs per annum,
or from $500 to $500. The highest salary
under the government is TO the head of tie
Police Department, which is twelve thous-
and francs, or about $500. This is the
most important Office under the city govern
ment.

Virtually, the banks of the United States
are now unit In place of acting kepa-
rately, each one for itself, as In former pan.
les, they have now, through the agency of
the telegraph, acted in concert, and united
they have been able to stand In an emer-
gency where al must have COLLAPSED If
alone and unaided.-U. s. Economist
This assertion is very short of being &C.
curate. The great difficulty In the preset 4
sltuation Is that the banks of the country
at large are not q unit. Had they been.
there might have been much less embar-
rassment TO the movements Of commerce
than has occurred. As it Is, the banks In.
the leading trade centers-exceptir Chi
cago-have been locally united clearing
house associations, for defense against those
IN other cities, each association putting on
coat of armor, that it might protect itself
against the others, yet each claiming-cer-
tainly this was so here--that it could easily
conduct its local business if it could get its
funds from the great exchange center and
hold thoss It had belonging to the others.
There was no effective unity in this, such
as the occasion demanded.-C Cincinnati
Communicated.
Both right, and both wrong. The banks
were pretty much a unit 10 starting the
panic and suspending; but when it comes
to resumption there is sad lack of harmo-
NOUS action. Our centralizing system of
finances draws immense volumes of cur
rency to New York and the Sub Treasury
there, facilitating the diversion of millions
from legitimate trade to the imitation of
fancy and watered stocks. 1t is q very eff
fective system for creating panics, but
seems utterly powerless to allay them.
The want of concord mentioned by the
Commercial betrays the widespread feel
ing of insecurity and want of confidence
which arises from the shiftless management
Of the Federal Treasury and the general
corruption Of the times in public and pri-
vste affairs. The bankers might have done
better, if any one knew what the Govern
ment would do or would not do. 1t was
a famous Government broker who
first failed, and there was a reason
able question in the minds of men
as to whether Government itself had
the affair. Then came Van
derbilt with bis offer of ten million green
backs. If any man had that amount lock-
ed up, be must have foreseen the crash,
and, in fact, must have been its chief archi-
tect. Whist other traps were still in am
bush to besspruDg by other millionaire gam
blers? Was there q scheme to bull gold up
in the forties or ffties? Our currency has
no fixed value, and is at the mercy of Wall
street. Were the stock brokers to be trust
ed? Were the Treasury officials to be trust
ed? Where shall we find common honesty?
Such were the questions forced on every
man of ordinary prudence in banking and
business circles. Amid this universal dis
trust, bred of official corruption, the very
basis of all human intercourse, social and |
commercial, is being undermined.

THE Boston Post puts in this way: If
anything could be iDgeniously invented to
further complIcate financial affairs, it would
be the calling at this time of an extraordi-
nary session of Congress, even to promote
the instantaneous resumption ofspecie pay
menls. That body is credited already with
having done all that any legislative body
could do to bring about the recent cOndi-
ton of affairs, and there is no reason to
supposethst it has suddenly become en-
dowed with new wisdom, from an observa-
ton Of one or Two weeks, to pilot the coun-
try's interests out oftheir present situation.
Islands off," is the universal demand upon
it by the business community.

gress who was rather familiar with Nash
williams during the war, has been made
postmaster of Plttsburg in place Of the de-
faulter Stewart. Young Negley has been a

graphed to Gen. Babcock that every clerk

AN ALARMING .rRREGuLARrrY =,

From the New York Tribune. u
The most alarming development of the
time, however, lis an irregularity in the
Treasury of the United States. By the
failure of the First National Bank of Wash
ington, the fact CAME to light that Mr..
Secretary Richardson had deposited in that
institution $1S7,7S2 Of the public money
without security. We call this an irregu!
lsritJ; is it not worse; is it not distinct vio-
lation Of the Banking act, which makes It
obligatory upon the Secretary to require of
the banks chosen as depositors of the public
money satisfactory security by the deposit
of United States bonds or otherwise" for
its 'safe keeping and prompt payment"
Mr.. Richardson allowed the bank to hold
$685., 1872 of the public money on the secu-
rity of only 100000 in bonds; and it is
charged that he did this against the remon-
strances of Treasurer Spinner, after the IN
soundness of the bank had been ascertained
by the official examiner.
