TIE BANKs.-The familiar adage. latter
storm a.oalrn, !" was never more aptly'
verified than In the eEmonetary affairs OF
tCharlestonson Saturday. S-Ihe ieverish
excitement which naturally prevailed,
on Friday, as q result of thetscarcity Of
currency and the temporary suspension
Of several OF the banks, appeared to have
entirely passed away. Broad street. the
place where tho financial men mostly
congregete. was in a state OF serenity.
The national banks were opened
promptly at 8 O'Clock. and the tellers
prepared themselves to begin the work
of paying out currency. But. for once,
the tellers were mistaken. There was
no run on the banks. On the contrary.
those institutions were almost idle dur
ing the earlier hours Of the day, aud
from the deserted appearance of the
buildings, one would never have ina
gined that there had been financial
fever in the CITY on tho previous day.
BY IL O'Clock, few struggling business
men began to approach the tellers'
desks, and by midday the banks began
to do business in earnest There we're,
however, very few heavy drafts, and not
more than the usual Saturday demands
for currency were made. Tho depo.
sitors showed no disposition whatever to
drain the banks, and the payment Of
checks was made as usual. The panicky
feeling was 80 effectively arrested that
many persons who had Withdrawn their
deposits on the previous day brought
them back to the banks. and the i'm
preston became very general that the
bank vaults were the safest places for
the money. The business men Of
Charleston have, with their accustomed
thoughtfulness, readily comprehended
the exact situation. and with justifa-
BILE confidence in the soundness of the
banks. have resolved to unite in sus-
tanning them and frowning down all at
tempts to get up panic. On the
streets, money was scarce, and the
dearth of currency was felt to greater
or less degree in all branches Of trade.
While, however, this was the case. it by
no means caused u considerable depres-
sion in trade. The markets were
thronged as usual, and small currency
circulated freely.
A curious feature Of the cotton mar
ket on Saturday was u proposal to buy
cotton for gold, which was to be
brought from New York by express.
The sellers, however, refused to make a
gold quotation, saying that they wanted
greenbacks, and had no use for the hard
money. Charleston Ne,cs, 29M.

There is something painfully sug.
gestive of horrors in the. fact of the
sealed packet left by Captain Hall, Of
the Polaris, with directions that it is not
to be opened during the lifetime OF
Lady Franklin. all readers Of the mar
ratives Of Arctic explorers are aware of
the straits to whioh mariners have been
reduced in the melancholy regions Of
ice and famine. That Captain Hall OBJ.
tained some terrible revelations OF sui-
fering and dire exigenoy experienced
by the members of the Franklin expedi-
tion, ,sthere can be little doubt; and this
accounts for his concern that the brave
hearted willow of the brave-hearted
explorer should be spared details that
would only serve to embittcr still fur
ther her declining years.

CCBA-A BAD CONDITION OF AFFAIRS
Havana letter to the Iraveller says
Since Mr.. NJ. @. Villamil got tired of
uselessly fighting sgainst the number
less fnancsal rascalities in the public
offices Of this country, and left for Spain
on the 14th of last August, q notable
change for the worse has taken place,
and everything has gone back to the
chicanery of old times. And, if we
Judge from the general ways of the ad-
ministration of the government of this
island. it is evident that the plan of sell.
ing off the confsoated property was pro-
posed and adopted, because it is ex-
pected that portion of the profits of
the sale will fly to the pockets of some
OF the smart officers who will have some
thing to do with it. And there seems
to be great hurry to do the business at
once, before q successor shall be ap-
pointed to fill the Office of Chancellor Of
the Excheqner, now vacant in the coun-
try, since Mr.. Vlllami resigned it by
telegraph. Whatever the motives may
be, the Captain General has been in
duced to dispose of all the con6scated
property, and has caused decree to be
published accordingly in the papers
here. In the pompous preamble of the
decree, there are some expressions to
the effect, ihut the insurrection being
the cause Of the debt OF the State, the
insurgents must pay it. But it is
thought here that the first portion of
that debt was caused by the dream of
annexing Santo Domingo to Spain, and
that the whole of it was contracted by
the supreme Government at Madrid, in
its foolish efforts to maintain it's despo.
tism in Cuba, and to extend it again to
South America

CoTroN IN'rHE BALANoH or TRADE. -
A telegram from London states that
United States stocks have been greatly
Deprecated by the financial troubles in
New York. The Southern States have
nothing to fear from this. Heretofore
United States stocks .have been the
ready instrument of exchange between
the Northern States and Europe. It
wes an efficient expedient to reo!ify
balances, not only against individuals,
but the whole oonntry. United States
bonds, equal In value in this co lntry
and Europe, are used to settle the differ.
ence. But Il the decline in United
States securities is serious they may be
unavailable To send them over to
Europe to settle balances on declining
market will stiA further depress them.
The other chief recourse of exchange
on Europe is Che cotton OF the Southern
States. II the former means OF ex-
change BECOMES weak Of unavailable,
Che cotton must be.resorted to. Hence
the price OF cotton may not only be
such as the demand in Europe fos it's
factories require, but may be stimulated
also by the demand for exchange which
the necessities Of the general commerce
of the North may require and which
cotton alone can furnish. The decline
Of the American securities. therefore,
which have heretofore constituted a
basis OF exchange at the North, may be
decidedly favorable to the cotton-pro.

The LONDON AGEST.-The London
Agent for the Legation Fund of the
United States Government was tho
house of Barings. The President re.
moved the agency to the house of Clews

possible loss to the United States OF
$500. .O00,) President Grant changes the
account to the house of jay Cooke,
McCnlloch & Co. e., from u broken
house to tainted one. We admire the
tenacity Of the Presidents friendship.
1t shows that he has q heart, notwith-
standing the sharp sayings about his
GOODNESS and stolidity. We like him the
better for knowing his friendships are
devoted. But would it not be better fo-
him and the country, if they were abet-
ter placed. e., placed where they
would do the most public good?

narrated from his active imagination.

on us?' Instantly q captain ;ni the
Belgian Guards, OF Irish descent, took
up the insult. and said, though there

shot through the brain.

which lie had provided broke when the

who was to be publicly choked to death
remained alive and able to speak for the

and successful one. One of the myste-
ries of the age is the fatuity with which
governments cling to this brutal and in
efficient means OF punishment Not
only is it the rule, rather than the ex.
cepfion, that au accident converts the
gibbet into prolonged and ingenious
instrument OF torture, but the custom o!
hanging murdercrs is merely waste OF
opportunities which might be turned to
the benefit of science. SO long rs the
murderer is to be put to death, let him
be made the subject Of painless scientific
experiments. whereby his death may be
made positive benefit to the world in
other ways than by his mere removal

bslCLKARINo HOUSE The
banks generally Of the chief cities, have
adopted, the plan Of settling balances
with clearing house certificates instead
or greepDaeks during tue preseni hufry,
To the general public, 10 may be we'll to
explain, what this action signi6es. In
q time like the present, everything
which tends to eoonomize the use of
currency is pro tdnto relief to the
money market. New York led of in
the operation, she being the monetary
centre OF the country, the place where
other banks keep greater or less ba-
lances. She should respond with
currency when the banks of other cities
call for their funds. But for all of her
own purposes, she may use anything
which her own banks may agree to con
slider good. and SO may those OF Balti-
more aud other cities. All the banks
meet once each day at the Clearing
House to exchange checks. Some one
bank, for instance, turns into the
Clearing House checks drawn on other
banks for 100000. The other banks,
perhaps, turn in chocks on that bank
for $3.50, 900. The one bank, therefore,
owes the Clearing House SJO,UOO.
Usually this sum would be paid 10 the
Clearing House in grcenbacks Iu o.
dor, however, to eoonomize the use OF
greenbacks, the one, its condition being
shown to be perfectly solvent, passes III
it's own check for $4,000. Other banks
against which there is balance do the
Same. The Clearing House then issues
its certificates for an equal amount TO
the banks which have balance coming
to them from the days clearings. The
system is perfectly business like, though
it necessitates u frequont examination OF
the assets OF the several debtor banks by
the Clearing House Committee.
