OUR NEW YORK
rHE 10 BANK EAmU1E.

TIE B7a RANK EAuUHB.
To the surpriss Of everybody, the Bank
of the STATE Of New York closed its doors
Tuesday. This was one Of the oldest banks
in the eity. and was presumed to be one of
the soundest, and the failure created pro-
found sensation on the street. Stocks went
down frightfully, other banks shivered in
anticipation Of runs, and for while it
seemed probable that panic would sweep
over the street. But, fortunately theeyent
passed without widespread trouble.
This failure lets in q Hood OF light on
New York business and New York business
men. When this staid, solid old bank-this
eminentiy respectable Financial institu-
ton, went under, and its affairs came to
be investigated, it was found that none Of
the directors, OF, for that matter, any of
the officers, knew anything about its man
agement, that not one of them had ever
looked into it, there had never been aregu-
lar meeting of the board, and that the whole
management was left in the hands Of one
man, the Yice-President, Patrick! As a
matter Of course Mr.. Patrick had lent him
self 500, 600, he had lent the FAttrition
Flour Co." 500, 900 on 5000, 900 of its
stock, which stock was worth about four
cents pound, and equally as matter of
course every shyster concern in New York
in which Mr.. Patrick was interested, or felt
friendly toward. had its money on just as
worthless security. The directors were all
surprised when the failure Easmade known
to them. Fsa sis IS a5aV
The effect Of the failure viii be bad in
one senes and good in another It will be
bad because it viii unsettle confdence, and
make distrust. It win be good because it
win compel directors to look into the man
agement, and see what is being done with
the money with which they ara entrusted.
All the banks, with few exceptions, arein
tight place. Theirsecurities are unsound.
Real estate was their fsvorite, and on real
estate loans have been made quite up to its
value. But, alas, real estate has shrunk in
value over half since these loans were
made, and when the banks come to foreclose
only half can be realized Business men
dread to hsve the condition Of the banks
looked into, for fear that they win all be
found to be rotten, which would result in
such smash-up as this city never saw.
They prefer to shut their eyes and let things
drift, hoping that something viii turn up
to let them out. But it has got to come.
New York is not at the bottom Of its troub-
les vet. ~ s.-

The Cincinnati Commercial is quite as
siduoas in its efforts to ridicule all idea Of
Gov. Hayes asa Presidential candidate. We
are not so well posted about sentiment
along the river, but here, on the lake shore,
we are 50 far from sympathy with these
beIttling efforts, we indulge feeling Of
pride that We have such man to present
to the national convention. We look upon
him as one Of the noblest works Of God
q honest man--endowed with ability to
honor any position, and never eomprimise
his friends, while principle with him Is in
nate, he has the moral courage to defend and
cherish it. While Wedisparage no rival, we
hope to give him the vote Of the state, and
to effect that, We shall stand by him per
tinaniously until we are convinced that
his nonination cannot be effected. Ridi-
cule towards such man only belittleshim
that indnlgss it. ~ ass-H4 hia ei7id.

In the opening fight of the campaign Of
New York Democracy Governor Tiiden
was badly defeated. He wanted the State
Convention called at Albany early in the
coming month, but the point was carried
fixing Utica Gs..the's place. and April 26th as
the time for the Convention. The dele
gates to support Tilden were also, defeated.
It was plain the anti -Tilden men ruled the
State COMMITTEES, and it is not clear that
politicians of the Tweed school win have the
vote at St. Louis. 'it

ASlO0,OQO HOUSE.

Do you remember the failure of the
''eminent" banking-house of Duncan, Sher-
man B Coz OF course you do; and you
remember also that they didn't pay scarce
ly anything on the dollar, and that their
creditors were feaEtully indignant. 1t is
comforting to take up Newport paper and
read that Mr.. Watt Sherman, one of the
partners, is building cottage in that ''city
by the sea, I" the cost of which is only $780,
0O0l and this for summer residence only.
Failing is not very bad business, after all.
If ruined man can afford $1OO, 900 house,
what ought one to have who sticks to his
legitimate business, and goes on regularity
The Vice-President Of the big bank failure
of Tuesday wiz probably build himself
cottage next year.

Is in fearful condition. Que publishing
house has discharged thirty clerks since
Jan. 1st, every one of whom are now out Of
employment, and viii be till trade reyives.
The great metal house Of Phelps, Dodge &
Co. notified their employees that they
should be compelled:to dismiss one-half Of
them, whereupon the men held meeting
and resolved to work for one-hah wages,
provided the whole force should be kept on.
To this the house consented, and the men
are doing the best they oan until something
turns up. One manufacturer in the city
who never, till last year, employed less than
1900 men, has but 400 at this time. He
discharged 600 last week. These are but
sample cases. The whole industry of the
city is paFalyzed, and distress is not only
widespread, but universal. Those who
have work. are doing it for the barest and
closest possible subsistence, and they are
exceedingly fortunate. Where one has
work, ten have none at all, and what they
are living on, Heaven only knows. 1 can
hire ten Thousand women tomorrow for s.
a week, women skilled in the labor they do,
and men can be had in droYes for dollar

only on condition that the cotton should
be sent to New York and the supplies be
bought there. Gen. Beale, now of st. Louis,
was authorized to purchase and distribute
the needful supplies. Our sympathy rose
with the occasion and responded to the de-

to vaunt itself when it could serve no good
