There was some improvement in the demand
for discounts at one or two Of the banks to-day,
bu: generally the market was without material
change. The announcement of the suspension
of the National Bank Of the State OF New York
has had no perceptible effect upon this market.
The bank had no correspondents here, and, SO
far IS we can learn, no transactions of any char.
act0 beyond few bills sent here by it for col.
lection. We have heard of but one or two private
dispatches being received upon the subject, from
which fact it seems fair to infer that the suspen-
sion is regarded 40 Of only local significance.
80 far as we can learn no intimaton that the
bank was in difficulties had been received here.

THURSDAY, MAY is, 1875.

BSy- Governor Hartranft, for his veto of
the bill for paying the expenses of the one
sided committee of the House, appointed
last winter to investigate the Treasury
Department, deserves the thanks of every tax
payer in the State. For its own sake the bill
should have been vetoed, for it was neither
more nor less than scheme to manufacture
political capital to be employed in assisting
Democracy to retain its hold in the House,
and to increase its powers by furnishing aid
for other and still more important successes.
But, as the Governor shows, the committee
was an illegal creation, indirect violation Of
the constitution, and his duty to veto was
imperative. For this reason, to have signed
the bill would have been a connivance at
Treasury robbery, which the Governor is
determined, as he always has been, not to
have pinned to his skirts. Governor Hart
ranft has always heretofore, been held to be
among the opponents Of the new constitution.
This act of his, however, with many others
which have preceded it, shows that if thus
opposed to it, the fundamental law of the
State will not lack brave and uncompromis
ing champion of its requirements so long as
he remains in Office. 1t is enough for the
Governor to know that We have fundamen-
tai law, to ensure his careful carrying out of
its provisions. His conduct, therefore, in
the instance of this veto, will meet the un-
qualified approval of every lover of law in the
State. The Democratic leaders and presses
do not, of course approve the course of the
Governor, which it was natural to expect,
and which, therefore, causes no surprise in
constitution loving and law abiding circles
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1876-05-18

BS~ That was most disgraceful act of
the New York Union League Club on Thurs
day night last, the blackballing of Secretary
Bristow. No man stands higher with men of
all parties in the country than he. Not
word can be truthfuly said against either his
honor, his honesty or his patriotism, and yet
ten men of the New York Union League
were found so contemptibly mean as to say
by their ballots that he was not fit social
associate for them. And possibly, after all
they were right possibly at the very time when
he was Drawing the displeasure of relatives
and friends by marching forth to fight the
battles of his country, they were drawing the
life's blood of that country by depreciating its
credit, specializing in its necessary supplies,
selling it rotten ships and shoddy clothing
for the brave men in front, and urging on the
war only that they might the more readily
grow rich out Of its necessities. Possibly,
again, while Secretory Bristow was heading
off raids upon the treasury in shape Of frauds,
and bringing whisky ring and other thieves
to grief and their just places in the peniten-
tiary, these black ballers were interfered with
by his persistence, and made to tremble at
the simple contemplation Of the man, and
hence took this method to ensure their being
secured from his presence This is more
than likely indeed, it is said that the man
who inaugurated the casting ofthe black balls
took this method to spite the Secretary for
having stood by the treasury and his oath to
protect it, against an attempt to infict upon
it square, baldfaced robbery This being
the case every right minded man will feel
that the Secretary was more honored in his
defeat than he would have been in success.
1t is no honor for any man to belong to club
which numbers among its members such
parasites, who do not hesitate to bring within
the social circle their mean, contemplate
spites, and the sooner the league weeds them
out the sooner it will redeem its lost credit,
and render itself worthy the respect of the
honest, honorable men Of the land. In this
contest the will of one hundred and eighty
honorable high minded patriots was overruled
by scum comprising ten votes. This shows
that the sooner the effective strength of the
former is employed successfully in roofing
out the latter, the sooner will the league
deserve and receive the respect OF patriots
everywhere.
