PROGRESS.

The Board OF Public Education last evening
adopted unanimously a resolution to introduce thC
Latin and German languages to our public
schools. This was very important and sensible
conclusion. 1t will do a vast deal towards elevs'
ting the schools, and destroy the opinion that
some prejudiced people have against free schools
The poor must elevate themselves ana the proper
point to commence to do il is the education oi
their children. Our Public Schools have now ta-
ken a forward step in the true course OF progress
They are now superior to all other schools in this
city in the elementary branches of education, snd
should be made so in every branch which is as
signed to them to teach. What we mean is sim
ply this. Take fifty boys from our public schools
and fifty from individual schools and pit them
against each other in the elementary branches and
we believe those in the public schools will be found
to be the most proficient.
TIE action of the Board in regard to the "HoW-
ari School" was not so unanimous. The vote
was very decisive, however, in favor OF taking
that school under the charge of the Board, being
Il yeas TO nays The nays were four Democrats
and five Republicans. There is question in this
matter as to the feesimple Of the school building
that seems not to have been touched in the dis
cussiou. The fee simple we understand rests IN
the Delaware Association for the Moral Improve
IN snt and Education of Colored People," notWilh-
standing the city council paid 5000 toward the
erection Of the building, and has contributed
$1,000 year since toward keeping up the school.

ADVERTISING AGENTS, Walker, Taylor & Co,
l34 w. Baltimore street, Baltimore, Nd, have
opened an advertising Agency in that growing
and important city. There has always existed In
the people of our State u strong feeling of friend
ship and sympathy for Baltimore and should a
way be opened for quick transit ihither for freight
and passengers, much larger trade will be done
by Delaware in the monumental city. As 1t is
we doubt not Messrs. Walker, Taylor Il Co., will
be able to'ncrease the present trade very largely
by judicious advertising They are very strongly
recommended aud will be found prompt aud re-
liable business AGENTS.

Cause Of the Financial Trouble.


The following is from the Ilpbasis, aud nsiatai
n conversation between an eminent fuancier and
q reporter. The conclusions are wise, timely and
truthful, and they indicate the entire of the
present trouble
"I cannot imagine why men who have money
to invest should insist upon cQing into partner
ships where they risk their cash without any roico
in the business. and that Is what every man does
who buys railroad stocks. Two or three nhen
manage the affairs of almost every railroad on
the continent 1t is useless for the shareholders
to struggle ageinst this absorbing Capitalization
of power. The lose their time as well ss lheir
mopey in case Of any FebelIious attempl to exert
their rights of control. Tho men who really manr
age the roads cara nOthin 4ot te Interests or the
wishes of their fellows et0ckholaaTs. Their sole
object is to make money for themselves and di-
vert the revenues of the road by ell delicate and
honorable means into their own pockets, by means
Of fast freight lines feeders, and the like inge-
nious contrivanoes. The Tesalt of this days
work will be TO increase largely the number Of
men who, like me, regard railroad shares, under
existing modes, an ilcgltimate class OF invest
ments. Those who buy them merely for pufPoJ
ses of speculation deserve no more sympathy than
any other gamblers" ..I }..tFtl'1 Dtt
"Do you think the crash of to-day and ysster
day will have any appreciable effect upen the
prosperity of the country Z"
at ought net. II will prove deRth blow TO
many Of the speculative roads, which Ia perhaps
not greatly to be regretted. 1t will somewhat
embarrass the cid established roads in the new
and extensive improvements they seem to regard
as necessary for their traffic But little enforced
caution and economy even among these great
corporations will not hurt them any. The coun-
try Is prosperous, thriving, iOl of life and sap.
There Is money enough ready and waiting for
every legitimate aud needed enterprise. Nobody
will gTieve much for the lame ducks who got their
wounds padding in troubled waters"

The Mature Of the sItuatIon.

The chief causes why many banking institutions
that arc solvent, are compelled TO suspend pay
,nent, in a time Of excitement like the present,
well explained in the following article from tn.
New York World, of Monday The reasons arr
so plain and obvious. that any one who will re
feet for a moment must understand them. And
while they Operate more quickly upon individu
al bankers who receive money on deposit and paJ
large interest for it, they nevertheless apply forc
bly, to the National and State Banks and Saving
institutions and Trust Companies, as well:
"A financial crisis is a disorder incident to the
very nature of the modern system Of banking. and
the danger is Une OF the necessary Offsets of the
modern methods of transActing business, in which
banks and clearinghouse are tie great modetary
levers on which the currency turns and by which
its use is economIzsd. The amount Of money
which actually passes is but q trAe in comparison
with the enormous bulk OF transactions. Nearly
all payments in the ordinary cOOrss OF trade are
made by checks drawn against bank deposits, lit
tls money passing except in the adjustment Oi
balances at the clearing house. The pivot Of the
system 10 the confidence which induces the meT.
camille community TO trust their money with banks
in the form Of deposits The essence of banking
consists in receiving these deposits and loaninR
them out t. the community, and the pro9ts 0i
banks result from their ability to loan Interest
the greater part OF what they thus receive without
interest .ti. ttffi
Nov, from the very nature Of banking, the banks
are always exposed 70 q danger resulting from the
fears or caprIcss OF their depoSitors In the dou-
BILE relation of debtor and creditor in which banks
stand to the community, the terms are, in one re-
spect, very unequal. As debtors they are under .
constant obligation 70 pay back the whole amount
Of their deposits on demand; whereas, on the 9th.
er hand, as ereditOFS, they cannot call 10 thsiE
loans until the notes OF their customers mature ai
fixed IN .ure dates. When, therefore, any sudden
nd ~ a.
credit the stress OF the crisis falls rst upon tbs
banks. Bat it must presently reach the conmu-
nifty because the ability Of banks TO lend depends
on their deposita, and Whsn deposits ere With
drawn or withheld the sOurse Of loans IL dried
up.
One step more viii bring Ne to the point 70
which these very elementary observations are o.
rscted. When, from dlstrust Of the banks, msF-
chants withdraw OF withhold thsir deposits, pre-
fsning to keep their money IN thsE own safes to-

was cut in different places, and if the most

DE-. Peters Report TO the New York
BOARD of Health

DR.. J. G, Peters has presented very in
teresting report to the New York Board of
Health, as the result of bis investigations in
this vicinity, in relation to cholera, from
which report we make the following ex-
tracts:
In advance of more full report, 1 can
state that to my personal knowledge cholera
was conveyed from New Orleans and Mem
phis by steamboats, to Louisville and Gin
cinni ii. l also have very positive informa-
ton that cases were brought by railroad to
Nashville and died there. In Gallatin,
Woodburn and Bowling Green, the first
cases, sometimes three in number, were i'm
ported ones. But the momentous I. ct
stands out very strongly that, however tie
disease may have been brought to, or have
originated in, Murfreesboro, Nashville and
Bowling Green, and many other places, the
peshlence quickly and almost exclusively
localized itself in the filth:est parts of these
towns, while the cleanest portions almost
entirely e; capped.
At Nashville The localizing causes of
cholera were so extended and apparent that
no importation of the disease was looked
for or generally believed in. Nor are the
Nashville physicians much to blame for fas-
tening their attention almost exclusively
upon these secondary and localzing causes
of the disease. They are SO patent in Nash
vile that they force themselves upon every
ones attention. Comparatively few deaths
occurred in the highest, cleanest, best-venti-
lated, best drained, and best paved portions
of the city. The best residence and busi-
ness portion of Nashville during the whole
off Iaa forribia aTfdoynio -
outskirts was almost perfectly safe to live
in. The cholera was almost exclusively
confined to the outer limits and low por-
tiens of the city, and carried off hundreds
ofthose living near the small streams or So
called branches, ticks, and runs of water,
especially the Lick Branch on one side and
WILSON'S Spring branch upon the other.
On June 2 the City Physician published
a card, SIS there was ''quite an excited con-
dition OF The public mind upon the subject
of cholera, because within the psst few
days some deaths had occurred so suddenly
that 3 me physicians, and many good citi.
zens, feared the existence of epidemic or
Asiatic cholera" That they were produced
by cholera morbus, or sporadic cholera, he
asserts, there is not a doubt. The list of
deaths was not published till June 8, on
WHICH uay bney alhOunGSu 10 tWenCy-on6.
The disease had been progressing among
this vast and careless population, UNDECIDED
and uncontrolled, for ten or fourteen DAYS,
when Oh June the deaths amounted to
twenty-one per day, and Notwithstanding
the assurances of the city authorities that Il
was only mild American, or African chol-
era, an enormous panic and stampede of
the citizens took place, some of them car
rying the disease to various parts of the
cOuntry.

Union HOsnitAl.

The following resolutions offerrd by DR..
Atchison in the Board of Common Coun.
Gil on Thursday last, was inadvertently
omitted in the report of the proceedings
yesterday:
Whereas, the recent epidemic has pain
fully demonstrated the want Of suitable
hospital accommodations for the sick and
suffering poor OF the city and county; and,
Where's, it is believed that this object
can be better attained by the united efforts
of the city and county, in the construction
of union hospital under the control of q
Board of Managers chosen by the County
Court and City Council, ut less cost of
money than is now annually wasted by
both without adequate results; therefore,
Resolved by the Mayor and City Coun-
Gil, that committee of three from the
Council and two from the Aldermen be APP
pointed to confer with the County Court Of
Davidson county, and ascertain what ar
rangements, if any, can be made between
the city and county for thu purchase of the
old Academy property, or any other suita-
BILE in or near Nashville, for a union hos
pital, with insane and pauper wards.
The resolution was adopted and Coun-
cilmen AtchisOn, Lindsey and Hamilton
were appointed on the part of the Board of
Common Council.
