6Jle and Influential.

[Sauk County, (Wis.) Courier.
The st. Paul DAILY GLOBE fairly sparkles
with brilliant scintillations, racy editorials
and pithy news items. 1t is one of the rich
est, best arranged, and most entertaining
and enterprising newspapers in Minnesota,
and we'll deserves tho honors that have been
bestowed upon it by the city council of St,
Paul and the county board of old Ramsey.
It is, beyond peradventure, the ablest and
withal, the most influential Democratic daily
ever published at the capitol of the North
Star State, and although in its infacy has al
ready distinguished itself, achieved a glorious
record, and made favorable impression up
on the people and Democracy Of it's State
that can never be obliterated. The GLOBE
is emphatically the champion of the people,
the fearless enemy of rings and monopolies,
and faithful guardian Of the fourishing
State of Minnesota. Long may she revolve
with the name of Harlan P. Hall at its mast
head. ~

Savings Bank u mculties.

New York, April 26.-The run was con-
tinued this morning on the Dry Dock Saw
ings bank, and at the hour of opening the
bank more than 800 excited persons, mostly
women, asked for their money. They were
ranged in long lines the entire length Of the
building. Every person having deposit of
less than one hundred dollars was paid at
once, while deposits exceeding that amount
were required to give 60 days notice. The
run is attributed to the feeling of insecurity
caused by the collapse of the Teutonia and
Six-penny saving banks.

Memorial Day in the south.

MACON, Ca, April 26.-Memorial day was
celebrated with great ceremony. The Con-
federate monument corner stone was laid
by the Grand Masonic lodge of Georgia. An
eloquent letter of jefferson Davis was read,
and an Grafton delivered by Gov. Colquitt.
The largest crowd ever known on Memorial
day was present.
MACON, Ca, April 26.-In his letter to the
Memorial association of Macon, in response
to an invitation to deliver an address, Jefer-
son Davis says:
Let not any of the survivors impugn their
faith by offering the penitential plea that they
believed they were right. Let posterity learn
by this monument that you commemorate men
who died in defensive war; that they did not,
as has been idly stated, submit to the arbitra-
ment of arms the questions at issue, questions
involving national rights inherited and held in
trust for pos,erity; but that they strove for the
State sovereignty which their fathers left them,
and which it was their duty. if possible, to trans
N t to their children. Let this monument
show that heroism derives its lustre from the
Justice of the cause in which it is displayed, and
let it mark the difference between war waged
for the rObber-like purpose of conquest and one
to repel invasion, to defend people liberties.
Such was the war in which our heroes fell, and
theirs is the crown which sparkles with gems If
patriotism and righteousness with a glory un-
dimmed by any motive Of aggrandzement or
intent to infict ruin on others. We present
them to posterity as examples to be followed,
and wait securely for the verdict of mankind,
when knowledge shall have dispelled misrepre-
sentation and delusion. 1t is not I'M
reasonable to hope that mature reflection and
closer study of ire political history of the
Union may yet restore the rights Frustrated by
passions developed in our long and bloody war.
If, however, it should be otherwise, then from
our heroes graves shall come in nournful
tones the answer fit; and if our children must
obey, they must; but thinking on our day, it
will less debase them to submit. Yours faith
fully, JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Gov. Colqu1tt's address was liberal, sound,
patriotic and eloquent.
ATLANTA. Ca, April 26.-Memorial day
was generally observed here. The stores
were all closed, and citizens and soldiers re-
paired to the cemetery, where the graves
