Tmmediate" Resumption.

The bankers convention which met at Sarato-
ga last week, resolved in favor of immediate re-
sumption. One would suppose from the air they
assume that the bank vaults were bursting out
with gold-that the bankers were lousy with
gold-that they have more of the precious metal
than they know what TO do with, and wanted
some of their bill holders 10 take it out of their
way. Now, if they are determined on immediate
sumo. We know of no law against it. The peo-
pie are not in the way. If you will never be
happy nor enjoy good health without Iesuming,
then resume at once, aud don't waste yOnr breath
and time in concocting resolutions. Don't re-
solve to resume, but do it.
But let us look at few facts, and see if these
plethoric gentlemen who met at Saratoga mean
what they say.
In glancing over the statements of the nation
al banks of this city, published four weeks ago,
we discover the following facts the Indianap-
oils national bank statement is as follows:
LIABILITIES.
Circulating notes outstanding, 100000
RESOURCES.
Specie SIO.72
We put the amount of specie in black-faced
figures, so that it will not be overlooked nor
mistaken. We are also careful not to omit the
odd cents, for the omission of that two cents
would of course weaken the confidence of the
people in the ability of the bank to resume, to
that extent In fact, that two cents constitutes
Tue specie DasS OF Sll0ll Of lUs NOTES, anu IN u0at
view the two cents becomes a very important
item. OF course this bank is ready for immedi.
ate resumption. Certainly it is. An institution
that cannot redeem Sil5.I1 i'm notes, on demand,
with two cents of coin, has certainly no financial
skill or ability.
But here is still more forcible illustration
of the ability of the banks to resume. The Mer-
idian National bank reports as follows:
LIABILITIES.
Circulating notes outstanding $40 600 90
RESOURCES.
Specie 900 90
We put the specie in black figures again, that
there may be no mistake. This bank, of course,
is ready to resume iRstdRter.
The Merchants National Bank statement is as
follows, as to the above items:
LIABILITIES.
Circulating notes outstanding S17S,000.O0
RESOURCES.
Specie, Cincluding gold
treasury notes) $l4.9l
The First National reports:
LIABILITIES.
Circulating notes outstanding $3.50, 5000
RESOURCES.
Specie, (including gold treasury
nOtes) S3S6.75
What prop ortioa- of the specie of these last
two banks consists of the gold treasury notes
(paper promisesl we cannot tell. The condition
of these banks with regard to coin resources is
of coin held by these four banks, represents the
average amount held by the banks of issue all
over the country. In view of this, we repeat,
gentlemen resume e!-IRdidRdpolis Sun.

past two weeks, have been the greatest ever
known. They extended from Western Pennsyl-

Illinois to Southern Tennessee, but were most de-

railroads and canals is enormous, and the de-
struction of crops amounts to tens of millions.

Grant and Columbus Delano-The Interest-
ing Ties thai Unite Them.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The only tangible
source to which can be traced the origin of the
report that President Grant i'm June last request
ed Secretary Delano's resignation seems 70 be
this: That Gems. Porter and Bs6cock both
knew of the action Of the President, and each
sharing the opinion that Mr.. Delano would COM
ply with the request, made the fact public TO
several confidential friends. 1t came from .
Trustworthy source that BabcOck, about the 21st
of June, visited this city and communicated to
several the event which was expected to trans
pire Meanwhile Mr.. Delsno was in Mount
Vernon, Ohio, and did not receive the Presidents
letter until his return here, two or three days
after it had been received at the Interior Depart
ment. 1t is known that upon his return he
went at once to Long Branch and had . confer
ence with the President. There was given from
the Interior Department to members of the press
after his return the Information that the Secre-
tary's relation with the President remained un-
changed. Now it is asserted here, on the other
hand, and from sources usually deemed eminent
ly trustworthy, that the meeting between the
President and Mr.. DeianO was anything bat
pleasant one, and that Mr.. Delano actually made
threats of exposure concerning privileges grant
ed Orvlle Grant, brother of the President, il his
resignation was enforced, but gave assurances
that if not moIested until after the Indian frauds
investigations had been concluded, he would quiz
city step down and out. 1t can be stated most
positively that in June President Grant did ask
Mr.. Delano to resign. Why he saw Mt to fur
ther indulge him is known only to himself.
Again, it may be equally positively stated that
Mr. DeanO's official Cabinet relations will sooE
be dissolved, and that in all probability he will
be succeeded by ex-Gov. Dennisou of Ohio, now
one of the District of Columbia Commission.
Secretary DelauO is now absent from the city in
Virginia, and Gen. Cowen, the Assistant Secre-
tary, declines to commit himself one way the
other on the subject.-Baltimors Amer:oaz-

Death the Rail, without any Recon-

That the life of a western railroad man is a
hard one, is well known, and needs no proof
from us. But when a corporation, whom they
serve, makes the already hard life harder, we
deem it but an act of justice to lift up our hands
and cry, "for shameW against such act as the

ployes and we call upon the well-minded press

Is to relieve the company from any claims for

to any member 81 their employ. No matter how
the sccidsns or dssth occurs, whether by being

Nor are the employees allowed any option in this,

The p Presidents Brother as m Indfan Trader.
We see the whole Indian population given
over to jobbers. Among them We fad no less .
person that the brother of the President Of the
United States The trading posts aro lessed 10
special contractors. These contractors are pro-
tected by the Administration. nOrviile Grant,
the Presidents brother, finds an Indian woman
trading near one of his posts, be can have o com
maud from Washington by return mail to close
up the rival store, even If necessary to use the
soldiery. "0ne thing" writes our coFrsspon-
dent dis certain" When Orvilie Grant gained
control of the trading stores on this river, the
Indians began to starye, and the more power he
gained in mercantile way the less the Indians
had to eat We know what Indian starvation
means from the Indians themselves. The In
dian policy. which at the oatset hsd William
Welsh and George II. Stuartat its head, is nov
typified by Orville Grant, the Presidsnts brother
a partner iE Indian trading stores, and sustained
in the monopoly by the Government This fact
is so fragrant and scandalous that it carries its
own comment. 1t was bad enough to send an
incompetent relative to a foreign court, and to
appoint n callOw son, who stumbled through
West Point, to be a Lieutenant-C Colonel before
his Lieutenant's straps had lost their fringe.
But how much worse it is to find q. the head of
