ment of Mr.. johnson, The latter's bank ac
count was pried into, and It was found that
bis worldly wealth did not exceed $75, 600.
At the time of the failure of the bank, Mr..
Johnson had $4,000 to his credit, on which
be was receiving 6per cent interest, which
was bis only revenue. Should the bank be
unable to discharge its obligations, q con-
tingency by no means improbable, ex-Pres-
ident johnson will be almost penniless.

THE CF.Isgs-THE sOUNDNESs OF
GENERAL TRanE

Ina CincinnGd Gazette Of Sept. %,
says "The present monetary panic came
At time when the general trade of the
Country was gaining in health and sound
ness. The ratio of exports to imports has
been gaining; there is an increased demand
abroad for our breadstuffs; the high freights
on the ocean had begun a revival in ship
building; the rise in coal and iron
in Great Britain had greatly stimulated pro-
duction at home, and had opened to our man.
1fScturers the prospect ofsupplying adjacent
countries with our engines, cane mills, stoves,
agricultural implements, and machinery;
our industries generally were improving,
and we were beginning TO export number
Of articles which The high cost Of produc-
ton has for some years prevented. This
healthier condition in the main features was
sign of an equal improvement in sI the
channels and rsmiications of trade. The
crisis, therefore, did not come through any
unsoundness or unusual expansion in the
general trade. 1t came in a more than
usually healthy state. Aud although It
must be that much distress will be caused
In every kind of trade by the panic which
bas suddenly thrown the banks iuto a
struggle for selfpreserVation, and has
forced them for The present to cut off
the usual accommodation, yet the general
trade must go on as before, and 1t is not
likely that it will suffer any serious change
of prices. From this fact it would seem
that any substantial organizing of means to
check the panic, such as the New York
banks have now resolved, or any interverA
ton by the Treasury to supply the msrket
with money, must put an END to the fright
by restoring confidence. The difficulty is
not that houses are insolvens, but that upon
the instant they are called upon fo- all de-
posits, while the total destruction of conf
d 'nca, and the extent Of the same necessity
10 realize, make it impossible to turn their
securities into monry."

Tbs New York Bulletin of Sept. %, SAYS:
stAn the embarrassmeats of the past few
days can be traced largely 10 Congress and
ahe Federal Government. By unwise and
unjust grants Of lands to railroads, new
roads were stimulated into existence where
they were not needed, and beyond the
means Of the country to provide for the
e expenditures their construction required.
By excessive taxation, revenues far beyond
he requirements of government expen-
ditures were raised and allowed TO remain
idle In the public treasury, thus depriving
commerce and industry Of the coin, the le.
gal tenders, and the National Bank notes
needed for the exchanges of the country
and for the daily payments of the conmu-
nifty, and entaiing on the couutyv the f1r
ther loss of needlessly paying Interest on an
equiVaient amount of the Eublic indebted
ness which might have been paid off, thus
restoring to comm erie and industry its life
blood, instead OF. allowing it to lie uselessly
idle in the United States Treasury"
