Of bills for redemption, probably much
larger amount than was usually pre-
sented at any one time. To his surprise
the President did not appear at ali dis
concerted, but politely replied that he
would DO happy to give him drafts on
New York or New Orleans for the
amount. These, however, were declined,
and the specie demanded. The Presi-
dent reminded him that he could get the
specie for the drafts in New York and
SO save transportation and insurance.
But the broker insisted on the specie,
and SO it was counted out. keg after keg.
When about hundred thousand dollars
had been counted and still the kegs kept
rolling out, the broker saw that he was
outwitted, and kindly offered to change
his mind and take drafts instead. Bot
the President told him he was really
very much obliged to him for relieving
him of the specie, and couldn't think Of
taking it back. So the gentleman had
the satisfaction of shipping the specie
back to New York and paying both
freight and insurance on it.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

A Bank Renaissance.

Secretary Sherman is making his ar
rangements to roll out the heavy silver
dollars over the country through the
mails will appreciate the little story told
by Nathan Sargent OLIVER Oldschool)
about Nicholas BiddIe and the Savannah
branch bank. One OF the assaults
against the United States Bank was the
calculated "happy thought" to prove its
insolvency by breaking one Of its
branches, OF which there were ten or
twelve situatedin different cities. SAvan-
nah was far distant from Philadelphia in
those days, and the business Of the bank
was comparatively small, consisting
chiefly Of drafts upon cotton sales re-
curing very little specie, OF which there
was but small amount kept IN Its
vaults, compared to its bills In circula-
ton. 1t would be an easy matter, there
fore, so calculated the opposing parties,
to secure quietly large amount Of Its
bills, present them for redemption, be-
fore the bank had notice, mako . run on
il, in other words, and have the bills
protested and its doors shut; thusprov-
ing the insolvency OF the branch, It
would react on the parent concern.
So the scheme was set going. But
Mr.. Nicholas Biddle sat in his counting
house reading the weekly returns Of the
branch banks For several weeks he
observed the reports from one bank
afte. another: ave return You less
than our average OF Savannah branch
notes." Just what il meant Was not ap-
parent, bat Il meant something evidently
