BUSINESS FAILURES.
Mercantile Houses Compelled to succumb-
The Jersey City Bank Cashier.


NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-The business failures
of the past seven days as reported to r. G. Dun
& Co. of the mercantile agency, number26 an
increase of 3S as compared with last week,
The geographical distribution is as follows
Eastern states, %; western, II; southern, 60
middle, Az; pacific, "a; Canada IL; New
York city, 20. A large increase in failures in
every section of the country is apparent, es-
pecially mt the west and south.
BosToN, Jan. 12.-The Herald says the
Union steamboat company, incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey with capital of
100000, has failed. 1t is alleged that the
company owes about $4,000 in Boston and q
considerable amount in Plymouth. The office
furniture, in fact all of the assets in sight,
have been attached by the creditors. All but
one of the shareholders of the defunct Pacific
bank of this city have entered into the COM
bination, which is formed for defense against
the contemplated suits of the receiver for ag-
grcssive action against the directors.
. NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Cashier Shaw, of the
City bank of Jersey city, is still confined at
police headquarters pending examination to-
morrow. His bail has been fixed ut Sl2, 900.
A singular feature of tho case is the fact that
no official of the bank has shown any dispo-
sition to prosecute Shaw. The board of di-
rectors have to man denied that they were
more than stockholders, but even as such
have refused to enter complaint or to take
any step toward arraigning him for his al
legged otfenses. Shaw was arrested on COM
rlaint made upon information and belief by
Police Captain Edmunston. Neither he nor
Chief of Police Murphy would say what evil
dence they had against the prisoner, though
it was intimated that Receiver Williams
would enter a charge of perjury against Shaw
for swearing to the monthly statement of the
bank dated Jan. when he knew it was false,

OBSERVATIONS.

II was triae too cold for the sunny south
ern colored citizens yesterday. If slcighing
carnivals could have been postponed until the
fourth of July they would have been in their
glory. To have slushGd around through the
snow in their bare feet with the thermometer
in the nineties would have been picnic for
the urchin in ebony. The colored population
was not fairly represented on the avenue.
When the sloppy sidewalks began to freeze
last evening about thirty per cent. of the
pedestrians took tumble at some stage of
their pere grnatons. Cruel men and women,
and boys and girls enjoyed the discontinue
of the fallen, and laughed uproarously at the
sight Of their tellowmen picking themselves
up, and looking around with siclily attempt
to appear greatly amused and create the inn
preston that they always fell that way when
they wanted to be, particularly entertaining.
The mounted policemen We're digger than
old Grant" yesterday, and the way in which
they swelled up and down the ayenne was
enough to make their very horses laugh.
Great numbers OF persons We're knocked
down by teams and slcighs yesterday, but
nobody appeared to mind it, A majority of
the victims took it as II matter of course.
They took their lives in their own hands
when they essayed to cross the avenue in the
crush, and were not disposed to lament much
if they happened to get little the worst
of it.

A LITERARY DETECTIVE.

Arranging and Classifying the Evidence
The Five DIoutc 1Icn "sIsip.v

Mr.. McDevitt, since his suspension from
office rs q member of the detective force, has
developed intoa great American letter-writer.
He has indicted several epistlcs to the COM
missioners instructing them as to their duties
and now he hasNsent the following letter in
which he takes issue with the attorney gene
raj in his construction of the law which au-
thor2cs the commissioners to make summary
dismissals from the detective as well as from
the police force. The attorney general will
probably grieve to learn that detective
differs with him upon the construction of a
law, and IL may have been this grief which
induced him to leave the city last night and
hie him to Philadelphia until the first par
oxysm should pass. 1t will be remembered
that the attorney general took some interest
in the welfare of one of the members of the
detective force, and that this interest ex-
tended TO that degree that the detective was
asked to explain certain action which he
failed to satisfactorily do, and us "A result he is
now a private citizen. Whether upon his re-
turn the attorney general will consider that
the difference of opinion between himself and
a suspended detective is of such serious mo.
ment as to cause him to turn his special at
tention to that particular detective is not
known.
MR. M'DEvITT ALSO PROTESTS.
He protests against appearing before a tri-
bunal upon which the Hon. j. X. West, com
missioner of the district, sits. This IS hard
Last Saturday Mr.. West fell down upon the
ice and received quite severe shock, and now
comes another blow in the shape of n protest
| by n suspended detective. 1t has been as
serted for several days that the detectives
were working up q case against the chair
man of the citizens committee, against Com
missioner West, and against several otherpeo-
| pie, but no one expected that itwould deyeiOpe
into protest, and a protest with five counts.
Commissioner West was authorized by his
colleagues to conduct the, investigation of the
charges made against the detectives. In the
list of witnesses examined by him, as pub
| lished in THE REPUBLICAN from time to
time there does not appear any but reputable
! people, unless the detectives themselves are
otherwise, and yet one of the counts against
Mr.. West by suspended Detective McDevitt is
that he has been actively engaged in " hunting

Secretary Marsland, of the National
Association, Addresses Louis
willie Financiers
On the Subjects to be Discussed
BY the Convention which
Meets In that City.


Nourior-Jo urhhil Y.
Mr.. George Marsland the Secretary
Of the Bankers Convention addressed
a meeting Of the leading bankers and
cashiers Of this city at the clearing
house yesterday. The local committee
having in charge the accommodation
OF the members Of the committee sent
their report to the Executive Council
in New York some days ago, and It
was to give their reply that Marsland
spoke. The message was short and
courteous. The Council thanked them
for their efforts, and was sure that the
reception Of the convention would be
as hearty as its work would be benef
oial. Marsland then proceeded TO say
that the convention would be glad to
receive any suggestions from the clear
ing house on the topics that would be
brought up. While there were a
number OF interesting questions to be
discussed, there were two Of para
mount importance. The FIST had re-.
ference to the basis Of bank note circu
lation when the national debt was paid
and national bonds could not be used
What do the national banks want, and
what do the national banks
think would be the most judicious
policy? He recomn ended them to
think well over the whole question,
aud to make as many helpful sugges-
tons as possible.
The second question was in regard
to the coinage of silver. But even
more important than either Of these
was the question of Southern industry
Mr.. Marsland dwelt some time
on this topic. He said that theIprogress
Of the Southern States had heen
unriyaled and unexampled. All were
watching her progress with keenest
interest The three wants Of the
South should be discussed-oapital.
diversified industry and immigration.
The greater part OF the second day
would be devoted to this topic, and
the convention would like to
hear from Southern bankers on
this.
Then the question Of failures and
panics should also be discussed. There
had been more failures this year than
in any other year since 1873. Did this
mean that there would be panic, OF
did it mean that it was in the place Of
a panic, which some asserted came
every ten yearsG
Mr.. Marsland's speech was very
fayorably received.
To Courier.J ouInal reporter last
night Mr.. Marsland said the coming
convention would be Of more than
usual usefulness. He spoke of the
progress Of the South in most fatter
ing terms, and he regards the EXPO.
sltlon as symptom of the glorious
vitality that is throbbing through th,
new South. He was surprised at il
immensity, and said it was too larq,
for him. without further inspection, Il
