TIE BANKS IND TEEIR DEPOSiIORS
Some time ago, when the associated banks
were very weak III legal-tcnder reserve Wo
called especial attention TO tile fact that IL"
q item were doing business with total re-
serve much below the LEGAL requirement, ana
that others, while holding coin certificates
enough 10 make up the aggregate reserve re-
mIired were in effect banking upon the legal
tender reserve of their nclghbois. Had
the surrender OF National bank circula-
ton continued at the rate OF six nil
lions a month, tie strength of the banks
would have been severely tested, and the
stronger would again have been compelled to
defend with tl,er own reserves the less pru-
dent banks, in order to prevent disaster to
Themselves But these suggestions were treated
as quite improper by some banher5, VINO ln-
sisted that the temporary weakness would soon
be removed by the return Of legal tenders
from tho interior, and refused TO con-
slider the possibility that any unusual
drain upon them could occur at this
season. Wo are glad that tho event
did rot test the irail foundation upon when
their confidence rested. Legal tenders have
been coming in steadily for two months; there
has been abundant opportunity for banks that
were 20 disposed to strengthen themselves; ;
and if, as was represented, the weakness OF
some members OF the Association was only
temporary. there is no longer any excuse Tor
holding smaller reserves than the law and the
rules of sound banking require. What IS the
fact
There are still seventeen banks which hold
less than twenty per cent of deposits in legal
tenders, and of these, while ninc hold specie
enough to make up the total reserve required
by law, eight others hold less than the reserve
required. One. the Peoples, holds only ID per
cent in all the Greenwich holds only l8 per
cent; the German American holds only 10 per
cent in legal tenders, and 10 per cent in all
the First National only per cent III legal
tenders and p per cent in ALL the Nassau
only . per cent in LEGAL tenders, and II per
cent in all the Oriental only 10 per cent IN
all, and the North American ana Mechanics
Banking Association only 81 per cent i'll o'l,

Dluuder soon learn TO live by crime.
Somo Of tie Mexican journals are endeayor-
jng TO alarm the people by reports OF an
American invasion, provoked by the outIaSeS
along the Rio Grandc. The students OF the
National Preparatory School have even organ
izcd themselves and offered their services
Sc6or Romero. the former Minister to TINS
country, has found it necessary to publish an
Intelligent aud manly letter, dsproyng the
preyaIcnt reports, and showing that Mexico at
present has no riBnJ to aoShnio ""1 "''''
on our part. There is good reason to suspect,
however that the alarm is purposely encouraged
for political effect at home. If President Ie-
iada possessed the courage and decision Oh
Juarez, he would employ the whole power OF
the nation to suppress the wanton rebellion:
he has still ample time to do this, and secure
an undstulbed election Tho weary and mar
assed Mexican people-ninc-tenths OF whom
only desire peace and the protection of law
would hail him az dchvcrer, and Six more
years of quiet and order might remove The
worst symptoms of the national disease. But
we fear that the taint has entered into the
blood Of the race, and that it will continue to
develop selfish and reckless asprants, to
whom u country has no other meaning than
personal power, and people no other char
actcr than mass to he abused and piundered.

These banks are not necessarily better than
others in other respects Dut j. happens that
they have inst cut q largo a lcgal-tender
reserve Us the sr, cntcey banks first named,
with less than la 'ie Immediate liabilities to
dcpositors. Some nr item, no doubt, would
bc glad to find safe aLI rcnuncrat!ye employ
mcnt for part OF the, legal tenders, and 10
hold n somewhat smaller reserve, but because
they are strong, weaker institutions apparently
feel at liberty to dcpletc their own reserves
/ below The legal requirement or the limit of
safety. Taking out i've banks from tho
first list. those W ich hold over $1,000
600 each in legll tenders, and have also
largo specie reserves, tho twelve banks
remaining havo only S3.tj2, GOO in legal
tenders with which 10 protect S2i,235, 400 IN
| deposits. The Bank OF Commerce alone has n
larger reserve, with $S,6il, 800 deposits. and
the eight banks Of the second list have more
than three times a5 large reserve, with aG-
grcgatc deposits of only $30,039, 100. II Is
quite unnecessary 10 say that the twelve banks
arc doing business on the prudence of the
| eight, confident that, in case Of such
sudden emergency rs might at any
moment arise from war in Europe
or panic in London, tho strong banks
| have tho conscyvatism and s0undncss to
provide for the needs of all, aud will be COM
| PEELED to pull the weaker brethren out Of
mischief. At present this confidence does not
seem misplaced. TIE strong banks are very
strong, and the system Of assocation IN some
sense compels them to protect themselves and
the whole community against the risks which
those take who are willing to do business with
out adequate reserves. But ii is as wei that
the community should know that there arc Al
least twelve of the banks TO which it docs not
owe ifs aafatV.

Mach space is given to the investigation Of
the charge against Speaker Kerr. Briefly
stated, it is tho evidence of a single witness
Mr.. HGrney--that he paid MIR. KorT 500 for
tho appointment of Mr. Greene to u lieutcn-
ancy in the army, during the war. Mr.. Grecnc's
testimony is to the effect That ho employed
Halney to obtain Che position Tor him. that
Harncy introlu linn to Mir. Kerr; that he
was appointed at Mr.. Kcrr's instance, but was
ultimately court -martialed and dismissed from
the army But Mr.. Greene does not believe,
and never did, that the money which he paid
to Iiarncy was paid by the latter to Mr Kerr.
Finally, Mr. Kerr himself denies all acquairt-
anco with Harnoy, and, of course all receipt
of money from him or anybody else for Grccne's
appointment. The whole matter Is therefore
narrowed down to n question OF yeraciiy be-
tween MesSrs. Kerr and Harncy. Speaker
Kerr has hitherto borne an uIOlcmished rcpu-
tation. When We have mentioned that Harvey
was an assistant doOrkecper, it viii not be
difficult To form some idea of him. as ex-Door-
keeper Fitzhugh has given the world an inside

A larger majority than had been expected de-
clared in favor of the Senate's jurisdiction in
the Belknap impeachment trial. Wbio this
looks unfavorabe for Gen. Be.knap it does
rot necessarily foreshadOw Uho success of the
managers in the case, as the chapter of blum
ders on that side may not be exhausted. The
Senate's decision as to jurisdiction is of great
Importance, and may pave the way for other
