To the Union and American:
The following paragraph appeared in yes
terdav's Banner:
"a moderate run was commenced on the
banks Tuesd J, and continued up to yes
.erday morning, when 1t was given more
decided impetus by the action of the man
agements of the Louisville and Nashville
and Great Southern, and the st. Louis and
Southeastern Roads, who refused to receive
checks on Nashville banks in payment ter
freights. The news of their refusal TO re-
ceive checks spread with rspidity, and for a
while a feverish state of excitement was
produced am 1ng depositors. The manage
ment of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railway promptly received all the
checks offered in payment for freignts."
would like to state through the columns
of your paper, that am responsible to the
St. Louis and Southeastern Railway Com
pany for all charges on freight received by
me. and must account to them for the
amount collected, in cash. have hereto
fore, as an accommodation to our con-
signees, received checks for the charges due,
hut should any check go to protest, l bear
the loss, and in such monetary excite
ment did not propose to cash checks which
would be refused By the bank on which
they were drawn, without being instructed
to do SO by The General Office.
would state further, thst l did not re-
fuse to acceps checks until had presented
enc for payment and had been refused.
then sent to have it certified, which was
also refused; and 1 then concluded to re-
ceive cash only until l had Conferred with
the General Office. This occurred about
1:3OP. NJ. Up to that time no certified
check had been offered to me; consequently
could not have refused any.
In conclusion, would say that am In
dividually responsible for the action taken
by me in this matter, and with reference to
the action of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. know from my personal knowl-
edge that their cashier receives all checks
only at his own risk. received instructions

A return to the old plan of apprenticing
boys is being advocated. The hos Is OF
young men in every large city who apply for
employment and fail to get it, for the reason
they cannot truthfully affirm that they are
educated or specially fitted for any particu-
lar business, constitute potent argument
in favor of reform. Under the apprentice
system we should have fewer ignorant m e.

Everything was exceedingly quiet in
banking circles yesterday, and there was
nothing whatever thai looked like panicy
feeling. Our business men were making
their deposits as usual, showing that they
had every confidence in our banks, and the
course that had been pursued. We were
in error yesterday in stating that 500, 600
had been drawn out Of the Third National
bank. The srun" was considerably under
that figure.

BROKEN BANKS.
One Of Our Bank Presidents ON tine
Situation.


Hearing that NJ purns, President of the
First National Bank, of this city, had Just
returned from New York, q representative
of this ,sapsr called upon him yesterday to
find out what he knew about broken banks,
and to learn his views on the financial stu
alton generally.
In snswer to an indniry with reference to
how the New York people took the present
financial crisis, Mr.. Burns said he had nos
been to New York at all, but had been in
Washington City. He confirm d the
report published in our telegraphic
columns. to the effect that the
Government Is engaged In buying up bonds
aud will continue until sot1e $40 O0, 600
has been expended, about Sl0,OOO,O0O
worth having been already purchased. He
said that government officials knew little
more than private individuals with regard
to the extent of the financial disaster, and
had no better means of knowing when the
storm will PISS over. It is his opinion that
all the National banks viii suspend for a
weex or ten days, and said that jay
Cookies failure cannot seriously affect
Nashville banks, as they have funds and Sc
curities enough TO pay two dollars for every
one Lney owe.
A CLEANING HOUSE
was established by the four National banks
In this city yesterday, each bank making a
deposit OF $1,000, land settlements are to be
made every day; certified checks will be re-
ceived on account Of payments due at any
of the banks, and all money deposited since
Thursday can be checked out as usual, be-
ing subject to no restrictions whatever.
Mr.. Burns said that the reason Nashville
banks cannot be seriously affected by the
failure of New York houses is that their
money is largely used in handling cottor;
that the cotton crop is mostly in the
South yet, aud if it cannot be paid for in
New York, will find market in Europe
He styles this "a currency famine" and
says he saw gentleman in Baltimore who
was trying to dispose of $4,000 in United
States bonds, but none of the bankers
would purchase, saying they wanted all the
currency they could get for the use of theil
customers. With regard to the affairs of
the First National, ne said be could realize
on all their securities within sixty days, if
it were necessary, but such is not the case
All the loans made b. the bank are for short
time.
