Any man with little trouble can find out
what especial air suits his physical needs and

in this case) and having found it, can escape

Judge Barretts decision in the Black Friday

Judge BarTett's decision in the Black Friday
suit is elsewhere given in full. He declines
to give the case to the jury on the ground that
the plaintiffs have failed to prove the exist
ence of the contract under which the gold was
purchased 1t was claimed that the contract
or memorandum had been lost; but III that
event it was incumbent on the plaintiffs to
prove very fully It's contents and the fact OF
its signature. Failing in that they are non
suited. The Judge takes the opportunity to
point out that the machinery of Stock Ex-
change transactions is, from legal point OF
view, inadequate for the protection OF the "oper-
"ators." 1t is not the province of the Court
to patch the defects that are developed under
high pressure.

outhowing, will now return to swell the aver

not be overlooked that the banks as well as
the business community are in a somewhat IN

incident to the subsequent decline OF prices

but any sudden shock, compelling a general

the question whether the strong banks should

Another feature which is not wholly encour-

in producing a merchantable article. Already
nobody wants to claim the authorship of the

According to the statement by the Bowlers, pub
lished in yesterdays TRIBUNE, their uncle and
guardian, George III. PendletOn, did nothing in col
Letting the war claim OF their railroad upon the Gov
eminent which they did not fully approve and was
paid nothing beyond what they were glad to offer
and were fully convinced that he had amply earned.
We have no sort of doubt that this is an exact
statement Of the case. There has never been the
least reason to believe that Mr. PendletOn did any
thing in the matter which either the stockholders
of his road or the family of the heirs for whom he
was guardian did not fully approve. The
only difficult point in the case is this ::
As President of the road he was chiefly
his own constituency since he represented
in his Gduciary capacity as guardian Tor the
heirs threo-fts of the stock. The heirs are nearly
Of age. and the guardian might well be largely
guided by their wishes. But STILL lie was techni-
cally bound to act on his own judgment for their
best interests There can be doubt that they
wanted bin to have the money, but whether he,
rs their guardian, should have awarded the
money to himself as President of their road,
is more difficult question. Tho salient feature of
The case however, is this. Mr.. Pendleton never
dreamed that he was doing an improper thing The
heirs never dreamed of it. The stockholders of
the road never dreamed Of it. The road itself
always considered o family concern. They
arranged its affairs to suit themselves, and
decided among themselves that if Pendleton,
whom they all wanted to help, could recover this
claim be should have half of it. There nothing
in the case different from arrangements which
business men make every day The only difficulty
was, that while the arrangement was really made
by the heirs, yet before they actually became
Of age, Pendleton himself, their guardian,
could alone give it legal effect, and was thus
placed in the awkward position of deciding. as
guardian, TO pay the money to himself as President.
The people out of whose pockets it came, however,
are perfectly contented with the payment, and
would make it over again tomorrow If they could

Several Of the papers in copying The TRIBUNE's
table of Mr. Stewards real estate make the mistake
Of saying that the assessed value is only sixty per
cent Of the real value. In this way they give Lin
about 50 900, 900 more property of this sort than
he owned-a liherality wholly unnecessary in his
case Before 1874 real estate in this county was
cssed at 60 per cent but since that time it has been
advanced by the assessors to abont G6 per cent In
some cases, where property in the upper districts

are as high IA so per cent. and much property is

These eleven banks, having $Sl,4l2,3OO in
deposits March IL, had only $71,7OS,lO0 IN
deposits April 8, the withdrawal being S9,7O4,-
500, more than half of the amount withdrawn
from all tho banks in the city. But the legal
tender reserve. which was $17.OSl,SOO four
weeks ago, was reduced to $9,703, 400 in the
statement of last Saturday, loss of $7,2SS,-
400. The proportion of lcsal-tender reserve
to deposits in these banks four weeks ago was
20 per cent, and it is now only 13 per cent.
Taken separately the appearance is worse.
Here, for example. is the Park Bank. Unless
there is an error in the statement sent us, it
holds less than 100000 to meet the
calls of $16,O0O,00O on deposit In this
case the reserve is less than per cent.
These facts should warn all prudent bankers
to be on their guard in respect to the legal
tender reserve, while the present rapid sur
render of circulation by the National banks
