business so soon as it became evident that
we had coin equal to any demand that
might be brought against it for the rcdcmp-
tion Of our outstanding paper.
Let our circulating medium serve every
purpose in paying our debts, whether due
to individuals or to the Government. There
is no proprioty in making any distinction
in our money. That which Ia good enough
for the people is good enough for the Gov
ernment and 80 long as 1t has contracted
with the people to furnish II with circu-
lating medium every dollar of it should he
honest money. Until that point is reached,
and volume of currency equal to the wants
of trade is sent forth, we cannot hope con-
fldcntly for revival Of business and re-
turning prosperity. The energies and hopes
ofthe business interests Of the country are
so laden with doubts and fears that they
cannot fully develop.

THE somewhat startling statement i made tha
during the month Just closed there were no fewer
than forty business failure, in New York
city, exclusive Of a large number Of assignments
and adjudica:Ions in bankruptcy. The total liza
bll!llos in round numbers were g. 10000. This Is
the largest number Ol failures for any montl this
year aud Is al increase Of ~ per cent thUso Of
August proceeding The gross liabilities show an
increase OF - per cont over August and are the
heaviest Of any month Of the year except IN March.
We take the above from the Star Of this
city, and give It full credit for the startling
statements it contains, for no other pai"r-
nty is indicated II this statement he

1t, that there We're torty-scven business fail
urcs in New York city, exclusive Of a large
number of assignments and adjudications
in bankruptcy, during the last month, it
affords to the people and Government Of the
United States food for reflection II shows
that the financial crisis is not passed, but
continues to slay its victims. True, we are
told in almost the same breath, that bust
ness is reviving and trade is rapidly putting
on more fattrring aspect in New York
city and elsewhere; but this statement is
calculated to throw doubt upon any such
assumption. Failures which include forty
seven uniorlunutes and aggregate S3,7OU,-
OlD in single month, and that in The
midst Of the very month in which We have

p rity, Is very liable to shake public Conii-
dcn,' in permanent improvement. We
h,d hoped that we had struck bottom, and
should not hear of further financial calami-
tics.
On" thing, howrycr, is apparent to our
mud--thc !inanrial system Of the country

SEVERAL correspondents ask us to print the

that we do full justice to these correspondents
by simply printing deeds of trust, in addition

to gazette also each judgment lien and chattel

Why not print the names OF all parties who
allow their notes to go to protest? Are these
matters legitimate items of news? When we
