The i, tv,,,1 N.aetio,nrIal-Banking System.

Having good deal OF space at our dis
posal this morning, we publish the long
communication Of E. B. S. in opposition to.
the misunderstanding system I'VE repro
duced yesterday from the Pittsburg Com
neerciot an article which, we think, answers
fully all our correspondents objections to
the system. At any rate, we are willing to
let his article go fortilw but few COM
ments on, our part. He quotes what we
said the other day SO fairly that we do not
need to repeat what we then said. We only
desire to call attention to e. B. SIS can
did admission that banking is a "risky
business md that the banks are "not
very prosperous" us complete answer to
his previous charge that they made 1S 3-5
per cent. per annum. He says they are
paid a subsidy out OF the pockets OF the
people, but lose money by bad debts-that
is, by being too liberal in lending. to the
people-aud by Encouragement. After
thus showing that the misunderstanding sys-
tenn is risky and not very prosper Gus,
though the banks draw I" subsidy" in the
shape of interest from the Government, he
whirls over on the other side, and declares
that If The banks were deprived OF this
large subsidy banking would nevertheless
be profitable!
We said nothing as to the security Of de-
posters but we can say that the "total
losses to creditors from the twenty-three
hundred national banks organized during
the last fifteen years is stated by Comp
troler KNOX not to have exceeded six
million dollars--an amount not much In
excess Of the losses which have fallen
upon the creditors Of savings banks and
State banks in one city alone since 1873"
And ne can add that the people Of Rich
mond know by experience whether the
national banks or private banks have proved
to be the best places OF deposit.
But popular as the scheme Of our corrc-
spondent is, we knowof not one single man
amongst the experts in finance who favors
it, We know that General EWING, Beast
BUTLER, Mr. FUIKRRsoS, and other men OF
their way Of thinking, agree with our cor
respondent; but we know Of no writer OF
high repute who teaches such doctrine.
We don't think such man can be named,
unless PETER COOPER, WENDELL PHILLIPS,
and General KELLEY can be classed amongst
experts. And SO we drop the subject for
the present.

There has been an ample supply OF cur
rency every hour since the close Of the war.
There is more paper-money now than there
is any demand for. If one hundred mil
lions OF dollars of it could be burned in
five minutes the country would be the bet
ter, the richer, for the operation. Resump-
ton adds to the currency our gold and sill
yer, with the reservoirs OF The world to
draw from and exchange in our favor.
Paper.money must be representative SIM
ply Of coin, or 1t is poisonous trash, and
schemers and gamblers OF all sorts use it to
steal away the substance Of the people,

g There can be no donbt:of the fact that
the Greenback party now organizing all
over the land will sweep the politics OF the

Under that last June's glow?
Dead as the roses in Aspasia's hair,
Sepulchred ages agol
Naught of their bloom or their sweetness re.
mains to me,
Never so much as thorn TO give pain to me-
Save in my rhymes
Where are the rays that ran golden and sweet
Under the autumns soft haze2
Lost, like the print of virginia's feet
From the old Roman ways
Heart earth and sky keep the glory or grace
of them,
Lost from thy life is all hint and trace of
Save in my rhymes!
Where are the VOWS that we gave each TO each
Out in the winter nights gloom?
Gone like the echoes of Romeo's speech,
Waiting through Juliet Aomo
All of their bissful assurance is pain to me,
Hope brings no sun and memory no rain TO
me-
Save in my rhymes
Wherei the tear that you dropped on my head,
Out in that wild March night2
Dried like the blood that Leopidas shed
On Thermopyl @'s height
Come thou Dark Angel, and wave thy wing
over me,
Come, oh Scythe Bearer, and let thy dust
cover me,

it shows that the State will derive rcve-

OF the road below the city, buried In snow

nesday night, apd was frozen quite still.
He is subject to fits, and in one OF them had

he is receiving medical attention.

the dullest day Of the year at the Stock Ex-
change. Prices are steady, but the market
prices of the new four's are still below the
Treasury price. Gold opened at 101b, and
every sale since has been at that price. The
general opinion is that with the silver aSita-
ton satisfactorily ended the premium on
gold would speedily disappear, so strong
are all commercial influences working In
that direction. II, however, the 412a-grain
dollar is to be remonetized as full legal

will be defeated and the price of gold will
