FROM a letter in the New Orleans
Times we learn that a terrible rem.
contre took place at Terry, about
sixteen miles below Jackson on the
railroad last Saturday. A meeting
was held that day at Terry in the
interest of the Natchez and jackson
railroad and several speakers adj.
dressed the crowd. The disturb
ance had its origin from some re-
marks made about one of the
speakers. 1t eliminated in a regu-
lar street fight, and thirty or forty
shots were fired by different par
Elephants. A young man by the
name of Doc. Bracey was shot
through the heart by a pistol ball,
ran across the street and fell dead.
MIR. Wharton, from Raymond, was
also slightly wounded. As far as
we a learn, no u else was in.
Iured during the ARRAY. The origin
OF the difficulty was investigated
Monday, and there was considera.

A Lesson TO "Litsie People,"

The unlimited liability of the share
holders Of the wrecked Glasgow Bank evil
IDENTIFY made the "big fish" very careful.
Most OF them, report says, quietly drew out
over a year ago, sold their shares, and left q
great number of small shareholders in the
lurch. We have not high opinion Of these
cautious fnanciers, whose great names had
probably an important influence in induc-
ing widows, clergymen and other persons
of small means-the class called "little
people" in the slang of speculators-to buy
shares. It is creditable to the Duke of
Sutherlands honor, though not to his busi-
ness SKILL that he remained shareholder.
He probably now regrets that he did not
pay closer attention to the banks affairs.
ruined. They always are when, for the
sake of high interest, they take small
share in large enterprise promising un-
usual profits, particularly if they incur un-
limited liability. But 1t is lesson difficult
for the '.little people" to learn that high
A good many Americans seem to have
learned it OF late, as the great number of
small subscriptions to the four per cent
loan shows. Even with q strictly limited
liability, such as that which attaches to the
ownership of railroad shares, thousands
of helpless persons of small means were
victimized during the imitation period be-
fore 1873 in this country. In some parts of
New England and Pennsylvania the rail-
road wreckers managed to absorb the saw
ings Of almost every forehanded inhab-
liant.
The lesson to the 'little people" is not to
follow in the wake of the great fish. Great
names are no guarantee Of the soundness
of an enterprise. When the lean and
hungry times come the big fish remorse-
lessly swallow the little fishes. Moderate
interest and the best security make the
only safe rule Tor the investments of people
who cannot afford to lose their money
The New York herald., 1878-10-05

for instance. That able journal would
begin with an expression of mournful
regret that anybody should have been
80 simple as to expect anything
else from people like the Ameri-
cans. or from such a condition of society as
obtains here. 1t would have clearly shown
that only in a nation given to money get
ting, and who have no sense of reverence, no
respect for anything but money, could such
a scandalous and carefully prepared be-
trayal Of trust have occurred. 1t would
have been able to give abundant reasons
why the superior social system of Great
Britain would always guard that happy
community against such gross scoundrel-
ism. 1t would have read us lofty lecture
on our various moral deficiencies, and would
have demonstrated that every detail of the
inexcusable crime was peculiarly and char
American.

Eminently Respectable SwindIers.


I. will be a comfort to our British cousins
to reflect that the managers Of the Glasgow
Bank were at lenst eminently respectable
persons, and not mere vulgar rogues like
'.those Americans. Also it may possibly be
a solace to them to remember that a moro
complete, thoroughgoing, deliberate, bare
faced and inexcusable piece of scoundrel-
ism has not been known since the days Of
say Overend, Quincy & Co. The HERALD
correspondent sends from Glasgow some
details of the causes of the banks failure,
which will fill petty American rogues with
professional envy.
The bank was great rich, respect
able-a very respectable bank. 1t boasted OF
O duke among its shareholders. A year or
two ago it had on its list of shareholders a
considerable number of prominent Scotch
and English financial names but the
owners of these great names, it now turns
out, quietly sold their stock and drew out
in time. leaving clergymen, widows, or.
phans and the Duke Of Sutherland to bear
the loss. How admirable and peculiar this
caution But this is not all it is openly
charged that the banks difficulties have
been concealed for year past, by promi-
nent persons to whom they were known and
who were concerned, in order that the year
might safely elapse within which, under
the laws, q withdrawing shareholder re-
mains liable. Again we exclaim, what
admirable prudence!
x1.k
officers of the bank and few of their rela-
tives stand indebted to it in about thirty
millions of dollars. Could anything better
show the great superiority of British So
ciety? Further, having systematically and
for several years falsified the banks ac-
ing cooked their balance sheet the mana
gers managed that the examiners should be
DR.. Macgregor and Mr.. Anderson, both
officially connected with one of the COM
panies which received the heaviest advances
from the bank on the worst security. And
while Dr. Macgregor and Mr. Anderson
were certifying the cooked accounts, and
while the eminently respectable share
holders we're quietly selling their shares,
and while the banks cousins were convey
ing into their own pockets thirty millions
Of the depositors' money, lent them on such
easily convertible securities as Australian
lands, South American cattle, and pig iron
at four prices, the managers went on de-
claring handsome dividends.
There is one circumstance painfully en-
barrassing about this Glasgow bank failure.
If it had only happened in the United
States the English journals would have
been able to discuss it at full length, to
dissect all its parts and to draw from it's
disgraceful and shocking circumstances
that expression, in which they delight, of
pious and elevating gratitude that John
Bull Is not as other men. Americans and
such, rogue and swindlor. IL Is easy to
imn0ine the Snl,rddv RevicD's comments.
