THE "GOoD INTENT" OF WASHINGTON,

sIoNs AND POPULARITY, ETC.
Correspondence OF the Herald.l
GREENvILLE, Saturday Night.
There was political tranquility
here until week agone, when excite
ment looked up and lines were drawn
as they are among friends in your own
county. The leading contest, under
my hurried observation, is between
Capt. Will. S. Parish. OF Issaquena
county, and Chas. Worthington, ESQ,
of Washington county, for Senator
from the Fifth District. Looking
around from an unbiased position, the
indications are strongly in favor Of
Parish. He Is supported strongly by
many of the best men Of Washington
county, and his nomination by the
Senatorial Convention, which is TO be
held at the same time with the County
Convention at Greenville on Monday,
23d inst, 10 from your correspondence
information, almost assured, despite
the opposition that must necessarily
come up In our own Democratic house
hold. We learn with regret, while here,
that there has been lately organized in
Washington county q strong combina-
ton against what may be termed the
"Greenville Ring" This "Ring," we
are informed, is composed of the same
material that redeemed Warren county
from Radical bondage-Wm. A. Per-
cy, Gen. S. W. Furguson, w. q. Yer.
ger, j. w. Shields, j. 5. McNeilley, j
II. Nelson, and other gentlemen, whC
possess the "power Of will" to succeed
and TO whose efforts victory chief
ly belongs. The gentlemen who's
names we have mentioned fur
nished the courage and brain-wOrl
for the political war Of 1875, aut
subsequent political efforts, where Hop
/ alone "hung out like the ghost in Os

ST. LOUIS BANKS.

Closing Of the North 81. Louis savlngs
Association, and ths Bank 0fst. L0uls-
Runs On Other BaakS, bet 20 ssFlsas
Disasters AppFshsnded.
ST. LOUIS, July l7.-C0ntFAry to ex-
pectaiiOn Of Saturday, regarding the
condition Of the banks, the excitement
did not subnde yesterday, but c0ndnu-
cd to-day, and was materially strength.
ened towards noon By the closing Of
the North st. Louis Savings Association
and the bank Of 81. Louis. On Satur.
day, however, the persons engaged 10
the run were almost wholly confined
to small shop keepers-n0 merchants
or business men Of any pretensions
taking part 10 1t. The closing OF
the North st. Louis Savings bank
10 attributed TO shortage Of
$1,000 at the Clearinghouse. This
morning the bank Of ST. Louis
did its clearing through the North 81.
Louis Savings, and when the latter
closed, II had $4,000 OF paper belong
ing 10 the Bank Of ST. Louis. This
forced the latter to suspend. The &C.
ton of the North 81. Louis Savings
has given rise to considerable severe
comment.
The banks run on most to-day, were
the Fourth National, Provident Saw
ings, Franklin Avenue, German Saw
ings, and Boatmen's Savings. AL cur
rent accounts were promptly mel, how
ever, and there was at no time any mo-
tiCeable excitement. Other Savings
Institutions were more or less besiegedi
but they all asserted their ability to
meet all Just demands. There is .
strong disposition manifested on the
part Of small depositors in most Of the
banks, especially In the Savings Insti'
tutions, to obtain their money, but sub
stantIal merchants and business men oi
the city generally do not apprehend ans
serious disasters to follow the present
state of affairs.
ST. LOUIS, July 17.-There are we'll
authenticated reports from the extreme
northern part of the city that th'
Bremen bank has closed its doors
The run on down town banks may bt
regarded as stopped. The enforcement
Of THE thirty days notice rule is en-
forced.
Mr.. Merrill, President of the Bani
of st. Louis, says that bank will pc!
Its depositors every dollar.

The New England cotton mills are
beginning to look for better times.
From foTty.nine of the larger cotton
manufacturing corporations the Boston
Advertiser has obtained some interest
ing figures. These corporations make
nearly one.third go per cent? OF oil
the cotton goods made in the Northern
States, their annual consumption aver
aging about 3Sj, 600 bales. In the first
six months Of 1876 they worked up
6,7S0, ,S05 pounds of cotton. In the
first six months of the present year
they worked up 50, 23S, ,942 ponnds. AS
the quality of the crop of 1861 was
much better than that Of the season be-
fore, the Advertiser thinks 1t safe to
assume that these figures represent an
increase lin pounds) of pei cent. in
the quantity of goods turned out
These goods have found market,
there Is no large accumulation on hand,
and the demand is perceptibly improy-
ing. II prices can be kept down this
Summer, the Advertiser thinks Au'
tumn will find the New England mills
unable to keep up with their orders

CITY Finances.

Our city finances are in an interest
ing condition. That is, they will be
sure to interest the Taxpayers when
The time comes to pay the losses which
are the inevitable result OF the blunders
now being made. ANY man who would
manage his private affairs as the affairs
of this city are being managed as far
as its financial affairs are concerned,
would be considered an incompetent
or a lunatic. We have ell INDUCED in
hopes that with banker on the Finance
Committee some means would be devils
ed to manage our finances with q show
of economy. We are doomed to disap-
pointment. The city of Vicksburg is to-
lay, and has been for months, paying
over one hundred per cent for money
We are rocking along in some sort OF
fashion, but We have got to pay for
this ruinous folly sooner Of later.
We notice that in the proceedings
sbout two weeks ago measures were
taken TO have the scrip registered VIZ
have no idea what this is for, unless u
be to find out how much is issued, ant
we presume the City Clerk knows how
much Is out already. The Board o
Mayor and Aldermen say they vii
not receive for taxes any that i
not registered, and at the same tim
advertised for proposals to run the cit.
hospital in cash or scrip. The Cit,
Fathers had as we'll understand tha
when they issue scrip, that heyPromts
Tor the City OF Yicksburg to pay 5
much money, aud il they refuse I
receive It. for taxes, that is debts du
the city, that holders will take a jndg
ment on ! aud get their money. Til
error is in issuing scrip at all, for as W
have remarked above, it is simply pa!

JACKSON, TENN, July l4-Min.
Wilson (colored) was hung in this city
to-day for the murder Of city policeman
Newton G. Perkinston, the night Of
July 18th, 1875. Fully 5000 people wit
messed the execution. The prisoner
was escorted by a strong guard from
the iail to the place of execution at
10 80 a, m. The fall of the platform
occurred ct ii :45 a. m, but owing 10
the moose slipping death was occasioned
by strangulation, which was Of the
most agonizing character. Forty.fve
minutes from the fall of the drop
elapsed before life was pronounced
extinct, during the first portion OF
which time the doomed man writhed
and struggled, his pinioned hands
madly battling with the air, his legs
convulsively updIawn and shot out,
while his body trembled in the throes
of muscular motion, which, like
spasmodic waves, traversed the cor
rugated surface OF his quivering frame.
The prisoner was q years Of age; was
raised as house boy In q white family,
and was possessed Of a rare degree OF
intelligence for one OF his race. lie
expressed great contrition for his
impulsive act, and had the very best
legal talent employed in his defense.
He received baptism just previous to
his execution, and expressed his readi-
ness TO meet the Great Arbiter. Rev
DIR. John A. Harrison, Episcopal, and
Rev. E McNair, Presbyterian, together
with Father Doyle, the parish Catholic
priest, continued their spirltua
ministrations toward the condemned

THE ST. Louis Republican thinks the
failure of the Butchers S Drovcrs
Bank of 81. Louie, was caused by the
very stringent laws of Missouri for the
protection OF dCpositors. This law
makes Bank officers individually re-
sponsiblc to depositors aud throws
around them every legal safeguard
that can be devised. The Republican
thinks all the depositors will be paid
in full so soon as the assets Of the Bank
can be converted into money.
While the stringent laws OF Mis-.
souri, may have caused this failure. we
feel certain that many others, and the
great financial depression now felt over
the North aud West, are caused by the
contraction of the currency blindly
persisted in at Washington.

Opposition to HE Southern Policy, and to

WAsHINGToN, July l7.-An old per-
sonal Ohio friend of the Presidents, IN.
formed him yesterday that the feeling
against his Southern Policy 10 very
strong in some sections, and the out.
look net favorable for q Republican
victory in October. This gentleman al
luding to the order forbidding officials
participating in campaigns says II will
have disastrous effect, adding, "that
unless the better class of citizens come
forward and take 8 hand Ia the pOlih-
cal contest and direct the campaign,
the control OF party machinery will
pass into the hands Of political bum
mers, who will manipulate the cleo
tions in their own interest" 1t was
the opinion of this gentleman that the

The Butchers and Drovers' bank,
St. Louis, was organized in 1867 with a
nominal capital Of S250,00O, of which
30 per cent. was paid in. From time
10 time dividends were declared, and
were credited to stock on the books
until SO per cent. was paid up, making
a working capital of $4,000. The
bank did hourishing business from
the start, and in addition to a heavy
list of large depositors, became popu-
lar with small depositors, of which II
had host. This gave the bank such a

The FASTEST TINE ON RECORD
Louisville, Ky. May 29.-The seventh and
closing days races of the Louisville Jockey
Club took place here to-day, and was one
long to be remembered The weather was
exceedingly pleasant, and the attendance
was the largest of the week, some 5000
persons being present.
The feature of the afternoon was Ten
Broeck's against the best two mile time on
record, "3.323,' prior to McWhirter's time
of yesterday. In the pools he was sold to
beat 3.304, the time made by McWhirter
The impression generally prevailed that
Ten Brock could not start quick enough
to lower the record of McWhirter's two
miles, but he easily overthrow all such i'm.
pressons.
When he was brought upon the track he
looked in fine condition and was loudly APP
plauded and admired by the crowd. Tho
track had been especially prepared for this
race, and he was very quick at the send off.
St. Louis started with him, ard at the mile
pole was relieved by Maypolc, who took up
the running, and came around the turn and
down tho stretch side and side with Ten
Brock, passing under the string in the un-
precedented time Of 3273.
The first quarter was made in 25a, second
55, third LIS, first mile 1.443, fifth quar-
ter 1904, sixth 2,35, seventh 3.Ol, two
miles 3,27A. AS Ten Brock came back to
the stand, he was received with greet cheer.
ing. Mr.. Harper, Ten Rroeck's owner, was
loudly called for, aui on making his ap-
pearance he was greeted with thunders of
applause that continued for ten minutes or
more.
Ten Brock was ridden by Walker, the
colorcd jockey, who handled him so we'll in
last Thursdays race. Ten Brock now has
the fastest time on record ever made by one
horse in the world for ono mile, two miles,
three miles and four miles, and will not ap-
pear on the course again.
