The Coming Contest Between New England
md the West.

There is an "irrcprcSsiblc contlict'
brewing between the "young giant Of
tho West and the railroad and factory
kings of the East. Says the New York
Commercial Advertiser:
Tho enormous profits of New England
manufacturers of stprotcctcd'' articles
are exciting Il sharp discussion among
the organs of the Western agricultural
interests. There is !, big war brewing
between the young giant of the West
aud his New England sponsors upon
this question. Those formidable organ.
izations known ais Farmers Oranges
are the nucleus of the i:tttrcgrand army
of opposition to that spirit of monopoly
which has its CHIEF stronghold among
the rich manufacturers of the New
England and Middle States. When
the hosts arc marshallcu and the lines
formed, politicians with their little
sstatcs' will experience something to
surprise them.

SMASH-UP OF A BANKING HOUSE IN PITTS
BURG

PTTrSBURG, Pa, June II, 1873.
This morning, at about half.past IL O'Clock,
the bankers and brokers OF Fourth Avenue were
some what startled and astonished at observing
that the doors Of OF the largest private banking
houses in the city, that OF s. Mclean d Co., were
closed and that the nrm had suspended payment.
To make matters all more serious, the Exchange
National Bank OF this city brought suit against
Samuel Mclean. charging him with procuring from
their institution $500 on representation
to the effect that he had $4,000 on de-
post in the Dry Goods Bank OF New
York city. This representation was found
upon inquiry to be false, the Cashier Of the Dry
Goods Bank stating that Mr.. Mclean had not then
nor never had An account with them. Yester-
day. II Is sad several OF Mr.. McLean's checks went
to protest, thus giving TO financial men Fremont
ton, though but short one, OF the impending
crash. The news OF suspension gained currency
with astonishing rapidly, and astOnishment IN
creased when It was IumOred that there had been
issued Tor the arrest OF Mclean. What the amount
OF liabilities will be ! am unable to learn at the
present moment, but 1t is stated that Mr.. Mclean
claims that his assets are double the amount
OF his liabilities Mclean Is successor OF
his iather, who for many years followed the same
business on Fourth avenue, near the present 0nce
leaving the property to his son, who is now said to
have lett the city account OF the multiplicity OF
his troubles. The elimination Of disaster this
morning, although not unexpected among lew
parties who mad peculiar opportunities OF knowing
the ms and outs OF McLeans financial liie created
quite nutter among the majority OF bankers and
brokers, 1t being by no means an event that was
generally looked Tor 1t Is possible that future de-
velOpments may remove in some degree the present
serious look oil this AFFAIR and this In fact Is highly
PROBABLE from what can be learned tonight. 1t
would appear that the difficulties OF the firm are
but temporary, and that everything will be ship
shape In q lew days and business again resumed.
