Men May Come and Men May Go.
philadelphia Times, 1871

One of the most interesting newspapers
We have seen was the Springfield k,pu5l.-
eaa Of Wednesday, in which was announced
the death Of Its editor, Samuel Bowles. 1t
proved how indelibly the great journalist
has stamped his impress upon those who
are TO succeed him. There were no black
rules; no funeral tone in its regular edIto-
rails its notes and comments were keen and
sparkling as Bowles would have made them
when in the best Of health, and his biogra-
ply was a model Of elegance, completeness,
and candor. The paper justly and elegant
ly told the story that great journalist had
fallen that he had filled the. measure of his
DAYS; that lis work was done, and that .'af-
ter LIES ftful fever, he sleeps WELL"

houses in the morocco trade The princi-
pal house in tie trouble is Z. & c. Stokes,
importers OF hides and skins. Mr. Stokes
saws the firm would decide to-day what
course they would take. The firm attributes
their embarrassment to the fall of George
W. Hunnell 4 Co., who were unable to
meet their obligations, and who relied on
+. 4 {. Stokes To meet them for them. This
firm is indebted to f. 4 c. Stokes for over
500, 900, and the following houses are also
reported as

liabilities of the above-named firms. They
decline to state the total amount OF their
liabilities, but claim to hold paper of other
morocco firms to an amount from 500, 900
to SS00,0
MIR. Ellis Stokes stated that his firm has
been keeping others from going under for
years, and were cripplipg themselves trying
to accommodate them. I'VE had, !" he says,

failure. Our annual business will probably
amount TO 81 100000. We shall 60 out Of

most inextricable mass of obligations, one to

THE DENY THEIR FAILURE.
George W. Hummel, of the firm of Hum
mel 4 Co., deny that their failure to pay
their notes precipitated the trouble, and
SAYS the cause OF the trouble was the failure
of E. 4 c. Stokes to take up their notes as
accommodation paper. He further says E.
& c. Stokes were partners in his firm, and
are therefore liable, first as makers and
then as endorsers OF paper which went to

Washing Ous Impurities.

There is an evident purpose to free this
community OF its putrid character. There
is no crime so abominable and revolving as
that of incest, but when it afiiicts an entire
family the guilt is appalling. Frank Ma
Josh, vagabOnd Of this character, was on
Sunday taken to the Arkansas river and
ducked in the floating ice, in the presence
OF large number of citizens, and given in
structions to Immediately leave the coun-
try. The family to which this young man
belongs are groveling in the vilest Of sin,
and the conduct of the tit-bit causes a
blush Of shame to tinge the cheek of the
nymph du pave. The worst society will
revolt in its own wickedness. 1t is proper
to add that cases of this kind are rare in
this section.
