CAUGHT IN THE CORNER.
An Old Philadelphia House Fails
for a MILLION.

PHILADELPHIA. October 11.-Wsshington
Butchers Sons, pork packers of this city,
failed this afternoon. It is said that their
liabilities will amount to 81, 10000
It was stated by member of the firm this
afternoon that the liabilities would, in all
probability, reach a million, and that 1t was
the result OF speculation In wheat and corn
in Chicago. The same gentleman remarked
that they had been carrying large holdings of
grain for their customers. that there was a
heavy decline in the market, and that this
was the cause of the suspension. "If all our
assets were active" he said, 1--WE would be
able to paw 100 cents on the dollar. As Il is,
do not think we shall have to scale our
claims more than 10 or possibly 20 per
cent. The principal losses will be in the
East and West, and in Philadelphia among
the banks. The firm will not suspend busi-
ness. however" The house of Washington
Butchers Sons was established one hum
dred snd twenty-one years ago, and the
ownership has never since departed from
the Butcher family.

The Confederate Account In the
Bank of England.
Nel0 Orleans Times.


A contemporary. in an article discussing
the sudden rise in Confederate bonds re-
Gently, makes an illusion to the money
belonging to the Confederate Governmentis
account with the Bank of England, which.
for some reason, was not withdrawn upon
the collapse OF the Confederacy. Our con-
temporary is not quite correct in its state
ments.
On the 1st day of April, 1865, the Con-
federate Government had el60, 900 to its
credit In the Bank of England. When the
crash came the Confederate cotton had dis
appeared, and although the United States
Consul General at Liverpool made diligent
search, he could not find a bale, although
he had reliable information that there was
some thousand bales Of Confederate cotton
in Liverpool fortnight before.
Where 1t went, and the manner of it's dis
appearance, constitutes one of the most In.
teresting chapters Of the unwritten history
of the late war.
why the money belonging to the Confed-
crate Government was not withdrawn from
the Bank OF England at the time of the
crash, 1t is not easy to say. One of the rea-
sons given is that the officer on whose
check alone it could be obtained was ont
OF London Ill. And when he did return. IL
was too late
Three attempts have been made by the
treasury OcpdFlmenb 10 get tn1S mOD0V,
The first was in 1867. The American Minis
ter, Mr.. Reverdy johnson, was told by Her
Ma1esty's Government that the money would
be turned over to the United States as
executor, but II the American Government
claimed the assets It must be responsible for
the liabilities of the Confederacy. This
view OF the matter was not entertained bv
Mr.. johnson, who advised his government
Of the condition upon which the money
could be obtained.
Mr.. Boutwell, while Secretary of the Treas
ury made an attempt to get the coveted
916O,OO0. He sent the Hon. Kenneth Rav-
nor, OF North Carolina, then as now, Solic-
itor OF the Treasury, to London to see II
some plan could not be devised by which
the government might obtain this money,
without becoming responsible for the liabiii-
ties OF the Confederacy. But he was as un-
successful as Mr.. johnson had been.
Since Mr.. Blaine has been in Office he has
also caused inquiry to be made, but without
any results.
The money will probably remain in the
Bank of England's vaults until some more
vigorous course than any thus far taken is
adopted.
