THE publication of 80 many accounts of dedication just at this time does not indi- cate an unusual epidemic of crime, but a most wholesome epidemic of detection and conviction. The crimes do not seem to have been recently committed, but have been allowed to be perpetrated for months past, because official heads implicitly trusted the long employed defaulters. The neglect of the bank presidents or directors to know whether the leash on handn was in the vault or in the pocket of the employe brought Seeley and Carter to the prison doors

NEW ORLEANS STATES: The fact that Milton H. Smith. president of the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad, has assumed the presidency of the Gulf Transit Com pany will in no way affect his connection with the former corporation. In fact, it is understood and was so published week or so ago in the States, that the Gulf Transit Company is nothing more or less than an offshoot of the Louisville and Nashville. The way Mir. Smiths assump- ton of his new position is put in the dispatches is calculated to create an im- pression that he has resigned from the Louisville and Nashville presidency or con- templates so doing.
