POSTAL SAYINGS BANKS.

The run upon and failure OF some OF
The st. Louis savings banks, the explo-
Nion Of the Franklin Bank and state
Savings Institution at Chicago, and such
scandals as those that attended upon the
downfall of Mr. Darling's Third Avenue
Bank, have brought into very general
notice the postal savings bank system IN
troduced into England in 1861, and since
then adopted with some slight modinca,
tions in Canada. In England on the LIST
of January, 1876. there were over hve
thousand of these banks, which helu

into effect in Canada in April, 1868, When

The OTHER SIDE OF LIFE.
A Landlord Sells the Bed Clothes From Be
meath -Four Sick Children,

Yesterday afternoon a man followed
by his wife carrying an infant in her arms
walked into the Office of John f. O'Mally
ESQ.,, and related tale, which, if true,
needs the attention ofcharitably disposed
people. The man bore care-worn look
while the woman with tears in her eyes,
holding her haIf.starved infant in her
arms followed close at his heels. The hus-
band stated that some weeks ago he rent
ed three rooms in a double house in
Temperanceville. Before occupying the
same with his family he was obliged to
sign an article of agreement which he
freely did, and was able to meet his obli-
cations. After remaining in the rooms q
short time. he discovered that they were
in an untenentable condition. Rain pour
ed in through the roof and it was impos.
sible for him to keep the room warm on
cool nights, which he was necessitated to
do having sick children. Finally he could
stand it no longer and removed into two
vacant rooms in the same house, where
he had been but short time. when four
of his children were stricken down with
disease, and he was thrown out of work.
Soon he became involved in debt and
found it impossible to pay his rent. He
then served notice of the exemption law
on his landlord who in turn sold him out
on landlords warrant The latter caus-
ed the sale of every article in the house,
even the bed and bed clothes upon which
the sick children were lying, and pur-
chased them for himself for three dollars,
Being unable to remove the children the
family still reside in the rooms, without
household utensils, and no money where
with to purchase even loaf of bread or
medicine for the unfortunate children

The expenses of management are
something under $4,000 year, these
exnenses including salaries to the cen
trail staff, compensation to postmasters
stationery and printing. The cost o.
the savings banks during the last hsca
wear. the operations of which amounted
70 $8.50O0.000, was 1852, IA. During
the nine years the banks have been ID
existence their cost has been something
less than one.half of one per cent. on
the balances due to depositors each
wear. and this added to the per cent
interest paid to depositors constitutes
the charge at which these funds have
been held. ..., !,
The advantages of the system to the
depositor are obvious. His money is
absolutely safe and earns for him a
reasonable interest; if he is removing OF
travelling he takes it with him without
risk or expense he can draw it out at
will. The Government on the other
hand obtains all the small savings OF the
people at low rate Of interest-ln Eng
land at something less than 3 per cent,
in Canada at AZ. Were such system to
be adopted here, the experience OF Can,
ada shows that the Government would
have the use of some hundreds of mil
lions of dollars at something less than
per cent. the expense of conducting the
business being infnitesimal, since the
machinery is already in existence thro'-
out the country, .. !,
The World has always been opposed
upon principle to the Federal Govern
ment multiplying and exceeding It's func'
tions, as, for instance, in undertaking the
conduct Of the telegraphs or the express
or railroad business. But it would not
include in the same category the man
apement of the savings banks BUSINESS.
This places no undue patronage in the
hands of an administration, no danger
ous power in the hands of party, ad-
mits Of no abuses and confers a great
benefit upon millions OF citizens, besides
advantaging and strengthening the Gov
ernment. Nor would there be any in
yasion of the domain Of private enter
prise that we can see. Such institutions
as our own Bowery Savings Bank would
continue to attract business, for they
would pay somewhat higher rates and
have the advantage of greater facility in
the transaction Of affairs. The weak OF
dishonest banks would go to the wall
depositors in small places would have
the same advantages and indictments tC
economy ss are now possessed only BY
residents of great cities, and such heart
less swipdles as those of Spencer or {
Darling, with their attendant miseriel
and panics, would nolonger be possible

FORMAL complaint has been made at
Washington athat Senator Blaine has
been assessing Federal oficeholders on
his own account to conduct the campaign
in that State. 1t is known that the post
master at Portland was assessed for $500
and the Collector of the Port for 81 900,
If they have not already paid the sums,
it is said they will be advised not to pay
The demands made upon them as CON

Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 10, 1S77.-The
Twelve Apostles have to-day issued ar
epistle to the Mormon people, claiming
to have received a revelation from God
on the l4th inst. directing them to pre-
side over the Church without ,electiDg .
new Prophet. The promulgation here
of the extraordinary document has Gre
ated excitement, surprise among the
Mormons and disgust among the Gen.
tiles, who are too well aware Of the past
acts Of several of the Twelve not to be-
lieve that the Almighty had but a small
part in the matter. In point OF boldnes'
this revelation" goes far beyond any
thing that Joseph Smith, the disgusting
