We regret to learn that severe ac-

transferred he is also promoted. The

unhesitatingly predict that the able
and learned gentleman will do honor
to the position.

setts) National Bank Deficient About
$4,000.
BOSTON, April Q, 1874
well authenticated report has been going the
rounds OF State street and the banks to-day that
recent examination of the books of the NationaI
Bank Of Brighton revealed the startling fact that
the accounts oil one official were short to the
amount, as variously stated, Of from $4,000 to
$4,000. The Official was called to account, &C.
knowledged the deficiency and consented to sur
render his property, which, it Is said, is sufficient
to save the bank from loss. To smother the
name OF the Official from publicity and everlasting
disgrace there will be prosecution or publicity,
so far as the directors are concerned, which does
not seem to meet the appreciation OF the bank ON
cals or this city and others pecunarily interested.
The causes leading to this defacaton is stated to
have arisen by the use of the funds OF the bank in
numerous Improbable real estate speculations.
The President OF the Bank, J. L. Ordwey, has re-
signed his position to take position IN new YORK
city, Mr.. Horace w. Jordan has been appointed
temporary President OF the bank AS any iurther
particulars cannot be obtained at present u may
be safe to predict that IN o day or two more de-
veopments regarding this defalcatOn ana the
secrecy on the part OF the bank officials Will ind
their to the public.

than his stubborn and row-minded prede-
cessor. and one would expect from him o
largeness of view not unlike what we
delight to observe in our Spencers and
Brownlows. But even Van Buren, supple
and conciiiatory on all other points,
wlllowy statesman, who bent and swayed
with every political zephyr, was stiff-necked
on this currency question William II. Craw-
ford. for nine years Secretary Of the Treasury
under Madison and Monroe, and supposed to
have some knowledge of finance. entertained
opinions which will pain Spencer and
Cameron, and actually denounced ssthe want
OF stability, morality and intelligence in the
government which undertakes to substitute
PAPER for a metallic currency" There was
another Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander
J. Dallas, who will be remembered by Mr.
Cameron, no doubt, and who, in a spirit of
blind fatuity and insensibility to the growing
wants of the country, prophesied that the
time would never come when an honest and
enlightened statesman would venture upon the
desperate expedent of paper money as legal
tender. There is scarcely any use in quoting
Thomas H. Benton upon this question, as all
the world knows his stubbornness of faith in
gold and silver. But John Z. Calhoun was
more liberal in his views and, as the antago-
mist of Benton and Jackson, would have
more enlightened opinions, worthy per-
haps, OF his illustrious successors
Robertson and Patterson. While Cal
houn did favor such currency he i'm
posed limitations upon the issue, so as to
make it virtually the representative of gold and
silver, and even went so far as to speak OF the
corrupting influence and the spirit of specula-
ton which had been generated by the friends
of an irredeemable currency and unrestrained
banking.
Altogether these studies of the fathers. the
great men of the two generations of our his
tory, are not encouraging to those who see in
our Mortons and our Logans the full fruiton
OF American craftsmanship. We are panied
beyond measure to note the divergence be-
tween the two classes of thinkers, the Jeffer-
sons and Franklins and Washingtons, who
shuddered at the very idea of irredeemabe cur
the Spragues, who see in the Treasury print
ing press and reams of decorated paper the
sure means OF relieving the national dis
tress' and developing ''the resources of the
country" But history is history, and what is
written is written. Let the people judge be
tween the men OF the past and the men of the
present.
The New York herald., 1874-04-07

There has been a great deal Of discussion
among the politicians as to whether the threat
ened resignation of the republican Commits
sioner Of Public Works was genuine, or only
designed to bring his party to sense of the
importance of retaining the only .'anti-T Tam
many hold they now possess on the patron
age of the New York city government. The
Commissioner himself gives simple explana-
ton of his intention. The emoluments of the
position are not sufficient to compensate for
the labor and annoyance of fighting the whole
city government, which, he claims, is run in
the Tammany interest, especially when his
party friends refuse to stand by his side, and
hence he intends to resign. The politicians,
to whom the REIMBURSEMENT of any Office ap-
pears to be an absurdity, contend that the res
ignation will never be made. Meanwhile the
property owners woke up to the importance OF
keeping the Public Works Department in
hands that will at least do all that can be done
to promote the prosecution of the various pub
lie Improvements, and held meeting yesterday
to protest against the threatened resignation
and to depreciate the value of real estate. The
meeting was largely attended, some of the
largest property owners in New York being
present, and, although some attempt was
made to bring about different result, resolu-
tions were adopted indorsing the management
of the Public Works Department and request
ing the Commissioner not to resign.
