LETTER FROM BOSTON.

BOSTON, JAN, 1876
To tie Editor of the Heaaebec Journal:
The groanings of our citizens are rosounding on
all sides, in consequence Of the hard times-such
ones-old business men say--as never were known
before, in all the financial crises and pancs they
can recollect. Failures, depression in business
circles and insecure banks combine to bring about
a state of affairs, which has anything but happy
outlook. Only week before last, there were sew
enty failures. An injunction has been put upon
the West Boston Bank, and of course, depositors
are anxious to know whether not they are going
to be sufferers. The officers are now busy trying
to straig hten affairs, in which there to have
been no dishonesty, only sort Of negligence on
the part OF the managers, shrnkage in real estate,
mortgages, etc., and the fact that larger divi-
dend than was advisable has been paid and caused
the present difficulty. 1t is now anticipated that
no one will meet with great loss-perhaps only
q years interest. In consequence of the trouble
with the West End Bank, there was quite run on
the Home Savings Bank, but no serious difficulty
is anticipated therefrom. Those who are familiar
with banking interests, say that nearly all bank /.
have met with some losses Perhaps when all be-
come bankrupt, and business is once more resumed
on a solid basis, the good old fashioned principles
of strict integrity adopted, and mammoth enter
piises with no capital abandoned, we may hope
for prosperity again. How can the times be 9TH
erwise than they are The causes are myriad that
have helped create such stagnation, and the les
son may well be learned with profit.
Last week occurred the deaths of several well
known people. First, DR.. s. G. Howe, so long
and so well known, in connection with the Per-
kns Institute for the blind. in South Boston. He
was also identified with that other institution for
the instruction of idiotic and feeble-minded youth
His loss is not only loss to his country, but
the world as WELL 1t is only after such men leave
us, that we realize their worth, or appreciate the
beauty of their lives; his certainly fuller oil
romance and more suggestive of chivalry than the
lives of mer usually in this matter fact pro-
sale age. lie was the latest survivor Of that Phil

KOCR1IIC iNfL 4 IIQI.

The old bunker democrats Of brunswick have
been displaying their true colors during the past
few DAYS. and established beyond contradiction
their full sympathy with their brethren IN ONO as
genuine infatonists, and we have no doubt that
initiation of paper currency will be the main plank
in the platform adopted by their national convcn-
ton, Notwithstanding all their professions to the
contrary.
Perhaps most of your readers may mol possess
the knowledge that there exists at Brunswick a
small institution known as a democratic bank,
"trolled" by the heavy men of that party. Since
their democratic cashier gobbled up all their cap
ita. and is now serving the State, instead OF his
party friends, the bauk has had hard struggle to
make small dividends among the faithful, and to
enable them to do so the astute managers OF the
concern invested a large portion Of their capital
in western and southern wildcat sureties, prom
Using to pay 10 or II per cent. interest. But as
the holders of these bonds have received only the
promises, of course the directors were no longer
in a situate on to make dividends, and dodge had
to be rcsorted to, and true to party instinct the
managers were equal to the occasion. \ sharp
fight was got up between the bulls and bears OF
the little concern, and the soch was DuIItQ up iai
beyond its real value, when the bears took advan-
tage of the sudden initiation and unburdened
themselves of their stock and the bulls became the
winners.
The sham fight was got up by the bulls under
the pretense that they wished to get control OF the
bank and make fair statement Of its financial
standing, but ostensibly to Tighten the managers
and scare them to buy up and get troll of a ma
iority Of the stock, and thus secure reelection.
The plan was well managed by the bulls and they
poeketed handsome margin by the operation,
and it is satisfaction to state that several poor
widows, who had lost by the speculations
of the former cashier had their losses
partially restored by disposing Of their stock at
the right moment, while the frightened bears have
got severely singed But still the nine rethoric
functionaries who run the machine can have the
proud satisfaction Of waddling down Broadway to
their palatial institution daily at A. NJ, and as
sembling on Change for the arduous and respon-
sible duties of managing an amount of green
backs and defunct paper that less pretentious
and aspiring men would manage in their breeches
pocket and Bridget's rag bag. CLAN BANK.

TOLIIICAL.

Fifteen republican papers of New York have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of an unplcdged dele
CATION to the Cincinnati Convention to seven in
favor Of sending Conkling delegation.
The democratic papers quite generally are con.
doing with Mr.. Blaine that he should thus early
destroy all his chances for the republican nomina-
ton for the Presidency. Curious.--Ntae York
Times.
1t is said that Speaker Kerr received one hun
bred and fifty kilograms Friday from Northern
democrats urging him to stop the debate on the
amnesty bill on the ground that it was lpjuring the
democratic party.
TIE New York Tribune culls (satiricaly) the
oratolical gems from the amnesty debate and
seems to award the palm to the following from
Sam Cox: "Well, below away-you are hyena.'
Says the Hartford Post
"Al the daily democratic papers Of Connecticut
indolse Mr.. Ben Hills speech as true democratic
doctrine. And undoubtedly they are sincere il
tat view of the matter. 1t is the kin3 of democ
racy that has long been popular in Connecticut
though occasionally its exponents have been COM
PEELED to take back seats"
We are not exactly sure that we understand the
meaning of "Sap-gags," but the Indianapolis Jour.
nal seems to express the feeling of the West in
saying "Whatever the sap-gags and gushers may
think about it, the mass of the American people
who were on the side of the government during
the war vii! indorse Mr.. Blaines speech and posi-
tion on the amnesty question"
