The recent failure ana passing int

The recent failure and passing into
bankruptcy of the Citizens Bank Of
New Orleans, peculiar feature OF
which Institution was that its business
rested on real estate and mortgages,
has done much to unhinge the faith OF
those gentlemen who believe that real
estate and mortgages are the only safe
and reliable securities. These are very
good in their way, but are not sufii-
GENTLY activesto answer for banking
purposes. The bank sustained some
losses by robbery and defalcation, but
nothing in magnitude that should in
volve its ruin. Its greatest losses were
by the immense shrinkage in the value
of property during the war, and there
is not single institution in Louisiana
the downfall of which will carry re-
gret to more hearts than that of this
venerable bank, which has weathered
the storms of nearly half u century,
and which holds mortgages upon tens
of thousands OF acres of the finest lands
in the State. Its business went on
smoothly enough until the breaking
out of the war, when the losses in the
mortgage department, as might be ex
pected, We're very heavy, and Tho
surplus fund of the banking de
partment, about 81 800, 900, was
extinguished. Since that time the
banking department., has been carrying
a debt Of 81 ,000, 900 due by the mort
gage department, while the latter has
been growing weaker and weaker, il
consequence of the fall in real estate
values.

The Jersey city Scandal.

New YORK, Sept. 9.-Thc Rev John
s. Glendenning went from his home in
Summit avenue, Jersey City Heights,
yesterday to New York. 1t is believ'
ed that lie still fears personal violence
from his neighbors. His frieds are
busily collecting evidence, and are
confident of presenting testimony be
fore the Presbytery next month that
will not alone acquit the pastor but
startlc the community. They profess
to have information which couples poor
Mary Pomeroy with her cousin, who
formerly lived with Mrs. Miller on
Van Raypen avenue. This story is dis
credited by this cousins friends, who
say that it is only another dodge OF
Glendening's friends to save the minis
ter.

Further returns received from the
Vermont election show that the shak-
ing up that the Republicans have had
in that formerly hide-bound State has
been more damaging to them than was
at first reported. The majority on the
State ticket has been cut down some
six or seven thousand votes. The last
State Senate was unanimously Rcpub.
lican, but now the horrid sameness has
been broken by the introduction of q
Democrat. The last House of Repre-.
sentatives contained but twenty-five
Democrats. The next House, accord
ing to one account, will have fifty-siz
Democrats and fifty lukewarm Repub
licans according to another, as many
as eighty-eight Democrats, some of the
lukewarm persons aforsaid being class
ed with the Democrats. Towns tha
never before sent Democrat to tn,
State House to represent them, nov
exhibit their change of heart by begiu
ming to do it. In the capital city o
Montpelier, ten years ago, scarcely
three-score Democratic voters were t
be found. 1t now elects NJ. d. Gilman
Democrat, to the Legislature, and give
him nearly 300 votes.

In reply to the comments OF Every
Evening on paragraph taken from the
local columns of the GAZETTE which ap-
peared during the temporary absence OF
the editor from the city, and without
his knowledge or consent, it is only neces-
sary to say that Every Evening misrepre-
sents the GAZETTE, which made no in
sulting imputation of bad faith to Mes
srs. VIM. Candy, John II. Adams and
VIM. NJ. Candy" nor did it offer "an
equally insulting and causeless sneer
against the Democratic members OF the
Council" 1t may have suited the pur-
pose of Erery Evening to draw an entire
ly wrong inference from the paragraph,
and one which was foreign to the pur-
pose or wish of tho writer of it, whose
object was to furnish information. As
Every Evening assumes to be the expo
nent of the purposes of the Messrs. Can
by and Adams, we make tho following
extract from its article. Referring to the
meeting of the Republican politicians at
the Clayton House, it says:
Those at the meeting who had en-.
gagged in the recent movement against
the Ring, distinctly gave outsiders tC
understand that they did not propose tc
be questioned, or in any way called to ac.
count for the part they had taken in that
fight, and that they had done nothing
they wonld not do again. Mr.. VIM. NJ
Candy was exceedingly frank, and in res
ponse to some palaver of Gallagher &
electrified the meeting slightly by th'
declaration that they had not only dom
nothing they were ashamed of, but tina
he and those with whom he had cooper
ated did not propose to lose any of tn,
fruits of the victory they had won, and
as he had Informed Captain Gallagher
there remained something further to b
done, alluding, evidently, to his notifica
tion to that functionary that he coul
not retain the position

Economy il the City GOreim-
Rent.

The great object of the Democratic
party and those who united with it in
the late election was to effect q Reform
in the city government looking to the Sc
curing of greater economy. 1t was not
merely to secure change Of ofice-hold-
ers. 1t was, las we understood it, with
this view that changes were made in the
Committees of the City Council; and ii
was with this view that the Republicans
abandoned their party and voted for the
Democratic ticket in many of the wards
The Democrats in the City Council are
therefore bound to look to this object
and will do so in proper time. Economy
is the paramount object now, and cannot
be set aside without loss to tho great par.
ty whom they represent.

The credit of New York city is re-
presented as in rather bad way. The
Herald of that city is responsible for
the editorial statement thatMayorHave-
meyer has assured various persons that
"if the true condition of our finances
and the true amount Of our debt were
known it would be impossible to sell
city bonds at fifty cents on the dollar.
This is very strong assertion, and o
very serious charge against the city

While in a ragged-edged despair over
the riots in Kentucky and Tennessee the
Louisville Courier-JourndL threw up its
hands and shrieked that all hopes of q

be mortified to see its extravaganza trav-
elling the rounds of tho Radical press as

that the Courier journal has been badly
informed as to northern sentiment on the

here that, though there has been some
unjustifiable lynching-similar TO that at

iority of the riots in the South this sum-

SOUTHERN CONSUMPTION OF CoTToN.--
Reports from seventeen cotton factories
in the district allotted by the National

ter of the year the same mills consumed
1925 bales. Six of these mills run to their
