The story about Franklin and His
SON


10 the Editor of the Neao Fork Times:
Do knock on the head promptly that story,
published by you few days ago, of Benjamin
FranLliA and his son overheard qrlarreling to-
gether in bed by Bishop White, of Pennsylvania
The story intimates that DIR. Franklin and his
son, upon the breaking out OF the
Revolutionary War, decided to one another /"
all their property in America, with
English side, and the father the American, and
then after the war, each WAS to resume possess
sion of his own estate. There cannot be one
atom of truth in this ridiculous tale. The son
of DR.. Franklin never returned to America after
the Revolutionary War. Father and son parted
in New Jersey in l775 met at Southampton, in
England, in 1885, when Dr. Franklin WAS OH his
way home after his long residence in France,
and they nevec saw one another again. Down
to the time of that last meeting William Frank
Inns American estate remained nominally his
own, though forfeited by his adherence to the
King. On that occasion, father, SOD, and grandson
being together, William Franklin, pensioner
of the King of England, made over to his son all
the rights he possessed to his estate in America.
Dr. Franklin mentions this transaction in his
diary for July, 1885; "Read over the writings of
conveyance, &C., Of my sons lands in New Jer-
sey and New York to my grandson" The next
day the deeds were signed and the next the
Dr. made over to his son an old claim OF his
upon the English Government for supplies fur
nished to the Braddock expedition. On the day
following the parting dinner was eaten, Or.
Franklin and his grandson embarked for Phila-
delphia, and the Tory son returned to London;
where he lived the rest of his days.
A man less capable of the prudential baseness
attributed to him in the story never existed than
Dr. Franklin. JAMES PARTON.

Political Notes.

The New York Herald nominates its old antag.
oust Comptroller Green for the Mayoralty, say
ing " He il obstinate, ungracious, stff-necked
But he is an honest man, has held the thieves
ut bay, and has saved the city hundreds OF thou
sands by his policy of lighting every unjust
claim"
II Eastern Democrats unite to support Kerr
for the Speakership, the.Cincinnati Enquirer
Inf. Dem. thinks that it will show the weak
ness of the East in the politics of the country
aud that the West and South should oppose him.
The full returns Of the late election in New
Jersey show n Republican majority on the vote
for Coroners, OF 1889, and on the Assemblymen
of about 1000. Last year, the Democratic ma
lority was IS, 2S3, showing a Republican gain Of
over 1900. The only counties in which the
Democrats gain from last year are Ocean, due
10 Republican dissensions, and Salem while
the Republicans gain in Atlantic, Bergen, Cam
den, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Mercer, Mid
lileaex, and Union. Twelve counties 20 Repub-
lican and nine Democratic.
The Norrlstown Herald does not believe the
Democrats will nominate Bayard for President,
Int If they do " He could not be elected. He
would have the support OF the Bourbons, and OF
tho Bourbons alone. With his name at the head
Of the ticket it would be idle to talk of burying
dead issues, for to him aud his friends the past
ID sll that lives. The mass OF the American peo-
pie prefer anything TO reaction. The revolution
of 1861 has cost too much to have any OF its re-
suits imperilled by the supremacy OF men who
have learned nothing since it commenced. The
nomination of Bayard would drive progressive
men of all parties into the republican ranks

The Whiskey Ring.

EFFORTS OF THE MEMBERS TO IMPLIcATE GEN.
BABCoCK.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.-THE trial of ex-Supervisor
Mcdonald was continued to-day. Joseph M.
Fitzroy, cashier Of the Ring after McGrue left
it, WAS on the stand, and his testimony created
considerable excitement. Among other things
he said that Joyce frequently showed him letters
dated at Washington, and signed "Bab," about
the crooked whiskey business, which Joyce said
were from Gen. Babcock. Joyce uniformly
said that Babcock was in the Ring. Be-
Wis, another member of the ring. and witness
against Mcdonald, also testified that Joyce
showed him "a letter from Washington signed
"Bab" concerning the whiskey business, which
Joyce said Was from General Babcock.
The Grand Jury reassembled to-day after q
recess Of three days. They have summoned be-
fore them DR., Pretorious, editor of the Vest
liche Post, Carl Schurz's paper, published In this
city, to testify as to what he knows concerning
Babcock's connection with the Ring. 1t is also
stated that Gen. Babcock is to be summoned to
testify in the Mcdonald case. This course is
prompted by his friends. Chief Clerk Avery,
with his wife, arrived from Washington to-day.
General Benjamin Butler, his counsel, has also
arrived, and has been consulting with his client
during the day.
FEARS FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE JURrEs-aEN.
BABcocK's ATTITUDE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-It is feared that there
may be attempts to tamper with the juries in the
st. Louis trials because the interests involved
are TO important, but rigorous watch is set for
all attempts of this kind and entire confidence
is placed in the integrity of the District Attor-
ney. General Babcock says that 30 far as he is
concerned, while he is annoyed at the mention
of his name in connection with whiskey frauds,
he regards such mention as a slander of the
Whiskey Ring, and does not feel called on to
make denials until he is charged with wrong or
misconduct by some responsible person or in an
official manner.

MIR. Hayara's Bank Notions.

from Inc Nei0 f0rE ItWe9, NOp. IL.
1t is to be regretted that Senator Bayard al
lows himself in assailing successfully the un-
sound system OF Government paper money to
take position with reference to the national
banking system which is unnecessarily extreme,
and which involves curious Misunderstanding
uf the laws which created that system. "Under
IL, says the Senator, " the banking business of
tue entire country has been restricted to one
special kind of capital that il, the bonds Of the
United States Government, and the employment
Of all other descriptions of capital as basis for
banking have been rigidly excluded from COM
petition"
Thisis 80 far from being correct that there is no
restriction, direct indirect, on the employment
of any and all descriptions Of capital as a basis
for every branch of banking except the issue of
notes. Hundreds of banks, banking firms, and
bankers, in all parts OF the country, employ mil
lions of capital in the business OF discount and
deposit, without necessarily owning a single
bond of the United States. As to the regula-
tion OF the circulation, that IS hardly open to
severe criticism 1t il directed solely to the se-
urty Of the note-holder, and il absolutely ef-
tective. Mr. Bayard says, to support his posi-
non, that "under all the political omnipotence
Of Parliament lin Great Britainl such folly
HI preventing any banker or banking associa-
ton from using his or their credit by the ennis
slon OF notes in any form they saw tit has never
been attempted or suggested" This is sipgu-
larly inaccurate. Tho Bank act of 1854 forbids
the Bank OF England to .'use it's credit by the
omission Of notes" to the extent Of a single
pound, for it limits its circulation to an amount
exactly equivalent to the debt owed to it by lthe
Government and to Government securities and
coin held by 1t. The same act prohibits the Gre
alton of any new bank OF issue after the date of
its PASSAGE aud under this clause the country
bank" issues have decreased about nine million
dollars, And still further the act places fixed
limit on the emissions of Scotch and Irish banks,
beyond which all notes must be covered by coin,
pound for pound, held to pay them

At eleven o'clock the couple were escorted to

I.ocomoIive aud Steamboa. DncIs.

The Marquis OF Waterford is said to have Of
fered railway company $4,000 if they would al
low him to witness the exciting spectacle of two
engines dashing into one another at full speed
from opposite directions on the same line. The
offer was declined. The Aire and Calder Nayi-
cation Company, being of more sportive temper,
backed one OF their " compartment screw..steam-
boats' against the most powerful of all opposing
ronpany's tug-boats. Each steamer was to be
attached to the other by powerful hawsers, and
at given signal the two with full steam on were
to start i'll opposite directions, to test which
possessed the stronger towing power. Hundreds
of spectators assembled on the banks of the
Humber to witness the novel struggle, and bet
ting generally ruled in favor of the compartment
boat. But on the two being started, the tug
boat ut once showed herself the stronger, and,
after II smart tussel, succeeded in towing the
compartment boat distance of upward of one
hundred wards

A Chester County Mystery.

DISCOVERY OF THE PARTIALLY DEcoMPosED RE-
MAINS OF A STRANGER IN THE DAM AT MORTON
vILLE-A BULLET HOLE IN HIS HEAD.
On Tuesday the dead and partially decom-
posed body of an unknown man was found float
ing in the mill dam at Mortonville, on the Will
mington Il Reading R. R. The body had evil
IDENTIFY been in the water about two weeks, and
although it had been frequently passed was
supposed to be log until the discovery WAS
made by a son of Eber Smith, the miller, who
was rowing up the dam to some trape.
The boy was too badly frightened to bring the
body to shore, but gave an alarm. Mr.: Smith at
once sent an employee in company with young
man named Chas. Ystter to the scene, where by
the aid of a hook they soon succeeded in pulling
the body into the boat, and from thence they
conveyed it to the railroad station
house, where it yet remains. The
deceased when living must have measured
s feet II inches, and weighed about 180 pounds
He wore full dark whiskers, had broad high
forehead, and evidence yet remains that his ap-
pearanoe was of highly genteel order, An ex-
animation of the body showed pistol ball hole
in the centre of the forehead, which, upon being
probed, WAS found to be very deep wound and
fatal in it's character beyond all doubt. Another
wound was found upon his left arm, but not of
serious nature.
Deputy Coroner Smith was notified, and began
inquiry into the manner of death on Tuesday,
but WAS unable to make any progress ana 30 ad-
journed the case until yesterday.
The body could not be identified by any one
in the neighborhood, Some ten days ago good
and nearly new silk hat WAS picked up near the
water tank about 600 yards above the place where
the body was found and the only conclusion to
be arrived at is that the stranger has been muir
dered and afterwards thrown in the water tank,
from which point the body drifted down to the
place where it was found by the boy Smith. The
clothing WAS in part new. Two coats were but
